41 Story: Understanding the situation

"Is that all you need to know about the tool?"

Finishing his description of all the tools he put out on the table, Ichigo turned his attention to Narson and Zirconia, who were tasting Minestrone divided into take-up dishes.

Havel, who has just returned to his room, is also taking part in the tasting, and carries Minestrone of the take-up dish to his mouth alongside Isaac.

"Yes, they are all great items. Thank you for your explanation."

Narson puts the spoon he had on the dish and smiles to thank him.

"Well, I'd like to ask you to explain the situation in the realm."

"Okay. Jill, get the materials."

"I'll bring you everything you have. Help me carry Isaac, too."

"Yes."

When Narson could speak, Zirconia took Isaac and left the room early.

As the two of them leave the room, Narson glimpses Balin and Barletta sitting next to each other, well.

"The material I'm going to show you to Master Kazura is all top secret describing the situation in our territory. I'm sorry, but I can't show it to you two..."

"Hmm, is that right"

After taking Narson's word, and being convinced that it was the same, Ichigo turned his attention to the two people sitting next to him.

For now, I guess we can't even show the material to Balin and Barletta, who are accompanying us to explain the situation in the village, if only for the best of what they trusted us as Gracior.

"Dear Narson, if you will excuse me, I will hear from Mr. Barrin and Mr. Barletta in the separate room during the explanation of what has happened so far in the village of Grisea…"

"Um, right. Dear Kazura, may I?

"I don't mind. Mr. Havel, I know you do..."

Havel smiles and says, "Don't imitate anything unnecessary."

"Yes, because I will always keep my promise to Master Kazura"

"... Promise?

Nelson, unaware of the promises of the good men exchanged in the village of Grisea, asks Habel in surprise.

"Yeah, I made a few promises when Mr. Havel asked me to support Arcadia."

Hearing of the promise, Narson turned his momentary but sharp gaze to Havel.

The stared havel corrected his posture reflexively, but the expression shows a crack and margin.

"What kind of promise is that?

"Whatever I do in the village of Grisea, you will not interfere in it in any way. First of all, this is the first. The second is that we do not treat villages and villagers unfairly. To be specific, I mean don't imitate the inhabitants of the village of Gricea who interact with me at will to suck up the knowledge they have gained from me. I don't mind provisions such as tax obligations in accordance with traditional laws, but I don't have to imitate what I'm going to do later by changing the law. If you break these two promises, I will take my hand off Arcadia's support."

Nalson was relieved to hear a good explanation, wondering what the hell kind of promise he had made.

To that extent, it is an arrowhead that was originally intended to be handled with caution with respect to the village of Gricea, and is not a problem.

Besides, it is also gratifying to note that villages may be governed if they are within the bounds of traditional law.

Though a small village with a population of a little over a hundred, suddenly losing tax revenues is quite a blow to Isteria's finances today, a state of contour.

Regardless, I think it will have more economic effect than that with good support, but I would like to avoid the fact that village management, including tax revenues, will be out of its own hands.

"Okay. I will keep that promise, too, so thank you for your support... Havel, put the two of you in a separate room"

"Yes, Mr. Barrin, Mr. Barletta, this way, please."

Encouraged by Havel, Balin and Barletta took their seats and followed Havel to the exit of the room.

When I left the room, Barletta was sending me a worrying gaze, but Havel prompted me to leave the room immediately.

A few minutes after the Havels left the room, Ichigo was glancing at a massive amount of material spread out in front of him with a harsh look.

Next to the good, Zirconia sits, with Nalson sitting face-to-face, to give a good account of the situation in the territory.

In addition to the material being spread out in front of a good eye, there is a pile of material at the edge of the table, beside which Isaac pulls out the material as the Narsons ask.

"The damage in the south and east of Isteria is not that serious, but the west and north are devastating. Chronic sunshine will wither most of the crops to be harvested this semester, and the soil is too dry to sprinkle the seeds of the next crop. The prices of food in the territory are also rising, and the people living in Isteria are becoming financially painful"

"(Do it, there are parts of me that I can manage to read as a bug, but I can't read the jargon at all......)"

With explanations from Narson and Zirconia, Ichigo had an inner mind when he saw the text written in the dossier.

I had taught the letters of this country from Barletta more than before, but it was only three weeks ago that I began to learn the letters.

A simple word allows you to read it, but it's a good idea to have a mixed text with the same technical terms as the material you're reading right now.

I sincerely envy Barletta's incredible ability to learn, which had allowed me to read Slurry and Japanese texts in just ten days.

"With the sun shine, the amount of support from Gregorn territory in the west is also falling rapidly…"

Even while Yi Liang is consolidating, the explanation goes on and on.

Strange looks don't get a single sentence, so I should confess that I honestly can't read the letters here.

"Mr. Narson, do you have a minute?

"What is it?

"Now I'm sorry, but I can't read the letters in this country. So it would be helpful if you could read out the main points of the material."

When Ichigo said so, the Narsons gave a uniform and surprising look.

But Zirconia immediately smiled and replied, OK, she received the material from Ichigo and began to read out the main points in line with Narson's explanation.

Then two hours later.

Yiliang, like earlier, had dropped his eyes on the college notes he had spread in front of him with a harsh look.

The notebook notes with a ballpoint pen the contents of the explanations I received from Narson, all of which are terribly serious.

There is nothing like the destruction of the territory in a few days, but depending on future weather and security changes, Isteria could be devastated in six months to a year.

"First of all, improving the food situation in the territory. Next is flood control that may happen next rainy season? Other than that, there are problems with sanitation in urban areas and the collapse of buildings in poor neighborhoods, chronic lack of funding… there are piles of problems"

"It's an embarrassing story, but I can't help it. There are limits to the food we stockpile, and if the sun continues like this, the territory could even turn into a starving hell. There hasn't been any sunshine in the last few hundred years..."

Narson answers with an indestructible look.

According to the explanations received earlier by Ichigo, food distribution to Isterian residents has recently begun following the fall in food production and soaring food prices.

But it would be imperative that even that distribution be jeopardized as it is.

Waiting ahead of food buying by the wealthy, whose distribution has lagged behind and is probably still taking place, is the rampant plunder and destruction of food over food.

Narson is right, it is the birth of a famine hell.

"I'm concerned that your budget is biased against military spending for a long time... but don't talk about it because it seems there are circumstances"

When Yiliang spoke about military spending, Zirconia's expression seemed tense for a moment, but he felt relieved when he added that he would not speak out.

Ichigo had previously heard from Barletta that war might resume in four years with a country called Barbell, but this high level of military spending would be for that.

I'm just wondering what kind of budget you're spending, but I won't start with that, so don't talk about it for now.

"So, about improving the food situation, I'll do something about this. But there are a lot of things you need to help with, so please help me."

"... oh! Thanks! If it's something we can help you with, we'll do anything for you, thank you!

Do something, when Ichigo said, Narson or Zirconia said, "What!? Can you do that?" But he gave a nice look, but soon Narson got up from the chair with a full grin, took a good hand and thanked him.

In contrast, Isaac does not move particularly into a good word either, smiling contentedly as he stands beside Narson.

"And tell us a little more about flood control and sanitation issues"

"Can you help me with that?

"Get an idea of the current situation and work with me if I can come up with any countermeasures."

On the issue of flooding and sanitation, Ichigo had heard a cursory explanation from Habel on his way to Isteria.

Based on the impression at that time, we were planning to provide support depending on the extent of the damage and the enforcement of the measures.

Even so, if it is content that can be handled well.

"Now, as soon as possible, I have something for you all to prepare. Period is… well, do something within three days"

"Okay. So, what the hell am I supposed to prepare?

"Eh, a thick cloth bag about this size..."

When Ichigo says so, he puts his finger through the size on the table.

The magnitude is comparable to that of a 45-litre garbage bag used in Japanese households.

"That's about it. Isaac, get ready now."

"Yes."

Knowing the size of the cloth bag, Narson gives Isaac instructions.

"Oh, wait"

Instructed, Isaac is called to stop trying to leave the room to get a cloth bag ready quickly.

"Number, but two in all..."

Isaac replied, "Well, two," but Isaac solidified in the next good word.

"No, don't bother if it's not enough later. Prepare 3,000 bags. Please hurry."

"... Huh?

"Oh, yeah, keep the strings through like a Zuta bag so you can shut your mouth. And Mr. Narson would like a carriage, please."

"... hey, how many are there?

Leaving Isaac solidified in front of the door of the room, Ichigo also points that spearhead at Narson.

"I ask for as many units as I can carry from the village of Grisea to Isteria at a time of 3000 bags of what I just said is in full condition. It's nothing. It's not a carriage, it's a luggage car. And please also arrange for personnel to guard against the cloth bags being stolen. Don't forget the carriage owner and the personnel pulling the luggage. You will also need a ton of manpower for a few days after you have transported the cloth bag to Isteria, so, uh... just put on about 300 people conveniently. Someone who can stand long hours of farming."

"Gu...... wow, ok......"

"Mr. Zirconia"

Continuing to turn his eyes to Zirconia sitting next to him, Zirconia, called by name, shook her shoulders in awe.

"Oh, you know, I'm about to have a meeting with a martial artist..."

If you say that and grab Zirconia's left shoulder instantly with your right hand as she tries to take a seat off her face, you can use your strength.

"Well... sit down..."

Zirconia nodded powerlessly, saying so with a smile that only her eyes were not laughing at all.

An hour after Ichigo sent a ton of work to the Narsons.

Ichiran was in the square of the Narson Mansion, along with three people who were in separate rooms.

There is a separate front carriage waiting in the square from the carriage that Ichirya and the others came on this morning, before which four inflexible men stand.

The men are all wearing a brass plate combined, and their heads are equipped with bronze helmets with cheeks tied together by hinges.

It is perfectly armed to carry a circular shield on its back, with short spears and bows in each hand, and daggers on its hips as well.

Not all the men are young, but not old, and they create an atmosphere of war soldiers.

"I'll be standing here in three days, too, so please give my regards to everyone in the village until then. If you arrive late in the village, don't worry, we'll be back."

"So, but..."

To a good word, Barletta stared at the good for a little while when she said something, and gave her an overwhelming expression.

I'm probably worried about a good thing, but when you look like that, you're in trouble for a good thing.

"(It would be a lot of help if Mr. Barletta stayed with me... I don't think so either)"

With all due respect, Ichigo wanted Barletta to stay in Isteria with him.

Though it's only a few days away, there are times when spending time in a strange land is delicate, and there are times when you can do anything cleverly and spin your head fast, and most importantly, with the help of a heart-forgiving Barletta.

If Ichiyoshi asks you to stay with him, Barletta will nod without hesitation.

But Ichigo can't do that.

If even once Liang relied on Barletta, she would leave the village of Gricea, which she was accustomed to living in whenever Liang had to stay in Isteria, in an attempt to always be a good force in the future, and follow her well.

Then you can't.

It goes into her favor and leads to stripping her from what is most important.

"(You wanted to study all that, but you stayed in the village until you kicked Mr. Balin's recommendation to go to Isteria. If I did anything to rip him off from his father at my own convenience, I'd be a demon, not a god)"

Barletta wanted to be beside her father above all else, Ichigo thought.

Besides, Ichigo also doesn't want to bother the Valletta parents and children and the people of the village of Grisea as much as he can.

Already, in a good way, the inhabitants of the village of Gricea were changing from a saving being in crisis to an important being they wanted to protect at all costs.

Barletta accidentally looked up and looked like she was about to cry when Ichigo was thinking in front of the overturned Barletta

"... come back soon"

And he groaned in a mosquito squeaking voice, and he leaned down again.

When I laughed bitterly at how Barretta looked like that, I stroked Barretta's head pounding.
