Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

"You've always lived in such a dilapidated building... the pillars of the foundation are rotten and floating"

Ichiyoshi was stunned looking at the building that was going to be destroyed in front of him.

This is a collective residential area close to the city's castle gate, and now the building is being demolished.

Ropes are hung on old columns and walls like half rotten, forcing a few latas to pull ropes and pull them down.

We're going to build a sawmill, and we're going to build a sawmill.

"Dear Kazura,"

A voice was heard from behind the building's collapse, even though it was a good idea to take action.

"Oh, Mr. Alond. Long time no see."

When Ichigo looked back and greeted him, Alondo smiled refreshingly.

"We're out of time. Is the construction going well?

"I'm looking around, but so far so good. Do you have a problem sourcing materials?

"Yes, we are largely able to purchase them as planned. I've just given some to Master Reese."

Alondo is a civilian responsible for dealings with Gregorn territory, but now he has been charged with arranging construction materials.

It was Narson's decision that it would be ideal for this task because it was accommodating of something and I would be concerned about the details.

"We were able to raise nearly 10% cheaper than planned, so we will refund the excess funds. I'll give you the details later."

"What, you're up a lot cheaper. How did you do that?

"Every day I told my trading partners I couldn't do it and they put it up cheap. Negotiations are currently under way to make sure the materials used in river construction after the rainy season are also cheaper."

"Even after the rainy season...... you will need a fair amount of material, can you make it cheaper?

"I can't really say I can't do much about it because it's life-consuming there, but I think they'll give me a discount because of the huge amount of money I order. Don't worry, I'll tell you a good story."

It should be quite a big job, but Alondo answered that as if it were nothing.

I'm used to doing business, that sort of thing.

"If there are any other projects that are likely to require materials, I will finally prepare them, is there anything?

When it comes to jobs that will require materials, it is an antidote to the collapse of an old house like the one that is now being destroyed in front of us.

From what I've seen, the building is not a substitute for a level that you can already live in, so you won't have to rebuild it anew.

"You're going to have to do something about a run-down building like the one you're destroying right now, and you're going to need tons of material to build a new home. It would be helpful if we could work together then."

It would either take the form of subsidies to promote the rebuilding or, subject to the handover of land, to build homes in the suburbs and move them there.

If Arond is going to take care of the material in one hand, it can never be easier.

"Is it a home? Is this where we're going to rebuild it too?

"No, we'll build a lumber mill here. You're still a long way from building a home."

"Hmm... but then you're going to need land to build a building"

"That's right. Can you still afford the land inside the walls?

"The outer periphery is a little empty, but that's not a situation where you can afford it that much. Some migrants from other territories live in Isteria, so I think they'll fill up soon."

"Then you should also think about spreading the city outside the walls to prevent overcrowding. What about having people living in buildings like that live there by offering new housing on the condition of handing over land?

There are many collective residential areas in the outer part of the city that have been created rapidly to accommodate migrants from other territories.

Since such homes were built with piercing work for a cheap amount, they are worn out after several years.

There also appear to be a number of underhanded construction properties where the wooden columns used for the foundation have been directly buried on the ground and rotted without laying stones.

"Right...... Distance from the workplace is a problem if you are someone who has a job in the street, but I think it's a good idea. But when it comes to spreading the city outside the walls, it costs money because some of the walls need to be improved or broken to the gates. So I was wondering if it would be a good idea to fund existing villages and cities in the vicinity to respond. If you use a water wheel to expand your farmland, you'll be given a job."

"I see that sounds better. Is it okay to leave the accommodation of your materials to Mr. Alondo? Even so, it won't be until I talk to Mr. Narson."

To a good offer, Alondo smiled.

"I'll take care of it. If you will excuse me, I would also like to leave it to you to discuss the building management of the place of emigration and the position of migrant. I will definitely try to achieve results."

"Oh, that would help. Please do so then."

What a reliable offer, Ichigo accepted in two replies.

Such an offer would be truly appreciated in this situation where we are screaming because of the shortage of manpower in the work command.

For some time after that, the two of them were discussing their plans for the future.

Around that time, in the square of a training facility in the city, Isaac was discussing it with one woman in armor.

She is Sylvestria, Isaac's cousin.

She is an impressive woman with beautiful blonde hair with shortcuts and an active looking face.

She was smiling and pointing a nostalgic smile at Isaac.

"On top of each other, this is a very important task. Whatever happens, be sure to send anyone who tries to come into contact with the village from the outside to Isteria first."

"Yes, I did. Dear Isaac."

Isaac gave Sylvestria a look that was so hard to do.

Originally Sylvestria had a higher position than Isaac and was his immediate superior when Isaac was in the cavalry on the battlefield.

She's still better off in the military, but it's Isaac's role to give instructions as things stand.

Besides, there's clearly something wrong with her from earlier.

Until now, she has never used a tribute to Isaac or called Isaac as such.

I'm so scared that you're always smiling like you're having so much fun.

"All you have to do is guard the village during the garrison and respond to external contacts. You don't have to do anything else."

"Yes, if I got any advice from the village, then... you know, maybe you're angry?

"That's not true. Dear Isaac."

Isaac sweated cold at Sylvestria, who smiled.

At the beginning of the conversation, she took on the assignment in two replies to Isaac's request.

But at that time, we didn't talk about the deadline.

"I just didn't hear that the mandate was indefinite. I never dreamed that Isaac would do this to me, so I was a little surprised. From now on, I know you should be careful walking alone at night."

"Huh! No, I didn't mean to ask you..."

"Hehe, it's nothing. Besides, you haven't had Isaac wear an archery of swords in years. I'd like to ask you to come back soon."

"No, so this is really an important task! And please don't salute me!

Isaac hastily excused himself to Sylvestria, who began to emit a darker aura with his hands on his hip sword.

By the way, she's overwhelmingly stronger than Isaac.

On a serious, matchmaking day, I'm sure of it. They'll cut me.

"Then explain it properly. You said it was an important task that shaped the future of the country, but you seriously think it's worth it to protect Cold Village?

Isaac nodded cozily at Sylvestria, who had turned to a staring look.

"I'm not talking about what's important. Thanks to that village, we are now rapidly rebuilding our territory."

"So just tell me why. If you say anything but the point, I'll beat you down."

"... that village is inhabited by loved ones of Master Kazra. I want you to protect them."

Silvestria stared at Isaac's face, who spoke with a serious look.

"Master Kazura, you mean someone who's helping us rebuild the realm?

To her inquiry, Isaac nods.

"I've certainly heard of some great nobleman... yes. He was really just a civilian."

"No, you don't. Lady Kazra is Lady Gracior."

"... Master Graciole is of the God of mercy and abundance?

"Yes."

When Isaac answered, she stared into Isaac's eyes again.

I'm trying to look into your eyes and decide if you're joking or not.

"... is that true?

"True."

"Really... yeah, I do"

"... Um, tell me yourself, what, don't you doubt it?

Isaac asks her, nodding somewhat impressively, as if she had clapped a little.

"'Cause you are, aren't you? I'll take your word for it. You don't lie."

When she said that, she now looked a little worried.

"But was it okay to tell me about it? Isn't that classified?

"If we hadn't talked properly, you wouldn't have been convinced, would you?

"... so is that. It's my bad habit. Reflect. Sorry."

Isaac nodded bewildered at her as she hit and changed.

"Do you have any other questions?

"There's a heap of things I'd like to ask you, but don't ask. Isaac would be more convenient, wouldn't he?

"Ha... Um, earlier, do you really believe that?

When Isaac asked, Sylvestria got a decent look.

"What?

"That Master Kazra is Gracior."

"Yeah, I believe you. Why are you asking me that?

"No, I thought you believed this absurd story so easily..."

Sylvestria smiled at Isaac, puzzled.

"I wouldn't believe it if someone else said it, but I'd believe anything you say. Because you're trustworthy."

"Uh... thank you"

"I don't think it's like being thanked for anything else... you know, Master Graciol. I'd like to talk to you next time."

She nodded once, turning to Isaac to correct her posture.

"The purpose of the mission, I understand. We'll be on the ground as soon as possible."

"Best wishes. I'll be on my way later, so just say hello to the villagers."
