"- So far, the economy is good because Lienz still has a 'labyrinth', but you don't know how long this good economy will last, either, do you? I think the more reception places, the easier it will be to get a job of hope, and I don't think it's a bad idea to have another place to migrate besides Lienz."
Various agendas had also been discussed on this day, but the agenda was now being discussed as to whether to increase the number of places to migrate, a proposal from Kurt.
"Hmm, it does have advantages in terms of employment, but few cities have been as controlled as Lienz, right? Considering the safety aspects of the Horns, I don't think you want to agree much."
After consideration in my head, Vina expresses her dissent. Adventurers behave well in the city of Lienz, and have good relations with residents. The atmosphere in the city has gotten better than before, especially since we left the earlier 'runoff'. Given the safety and ease of life of the Horned tribe, there was no city more than Lienz.
"Will that indeed be the case when it comes to ease of life? It may take some time for everyone to decide what to do, but we can't change it safely."
Even if you glance at adventurer hope, more than thirty people will be searching for a job in Lienz. It was Kurt's suggestion to worry about it, but he himself was convinced of Vina's opinion.
"Ultimately, we'll have to leave it to each individual's discretion, but I'd like you to stay in the village of Jarda or in the city of Lienz until we can calm down, if possible. The same goes for safety, but even the king is far from the capital. It would be easier to leave only two places for the moment, given the response in times of need."
Byrne cannot position himself away from the King's Capital on a yearly basis, so he will eventually have an exchange of reports based in the King's Capital. Once a last resort, there is a magic comms machine, but the detailed information is still not communicated verbally. The comms will basically only be used in case of emergency.
"It's also important to create a mechanism around it. I'm guessing the villages of Giarda and the city of Lienz will have a point of contact?
There will always be a need for someone in charge of practice on the ground more than Byrne, who is in charge, is in the King's Capital. The liaison system, such as emergency response, should be well determined.
"I thought I should just be in the city of Lienz, but I figured I should also create a contact point in the village of Giarda?
I've been told by Jin as natural, and Byrne has to revisit his thoughts, too.
"It may not be as problematic as the city of Lienz, but I figured it would be easier for all the Horned tribes to have contact points in the village of Jarda, too? That's why the villages of Lienz and Jarda are so far apart."
"Right. I think the point of contact should be in the village of Jarda, if possible. Maybe some people come directly to the village, and I was wondering if it would be harder to be serious."
Following Jin, Chesty also voiced his opinion in favour of keeping a point of contact in the village of Jarda, but further Kurt follows suit.
"It's certainly troublesome to have someone who thinks about negotiating individually.... and a point of contact, but shouldn't the guards also be stationed just in case?
Unlike the city of Lienz, the village of Jarda has no defensive power. As a highly combatant, she has Miriam, but she is only a villager. Given the safety of the Horned people living in the village of Jarda, there will certainly be a high need for a guard who can move professionally when things happen.
"Exactly. I don't think it's likely that a crime aimed at the Horns will be committed, but maybe we should be prepared."
You declared that you would keep the Arcane safe as the kingdom of Nasalia, so you should keep in mind here. Byrne decided to review it from the ground up again.
"Lord Byrne, can't we hire a Horned tribe to guard the village of Jarda?
Most of the soldiers just served as royal escorts have more power than the C rank, and some of them have the equivalent of the B rank. Speaking of impeccable strength as a village guard.
"I see. Surely it's one hand to leave it to the Horns themselves."
Farris' idea of letting the Horns guard themselves was an idea that was outside Byrne's consciousness.
But when you think about it, it does lead to more jobs being created by leaving it to the Horns, and those who are guarded are definitely more comfortable with their peers.
"Not only security, but also Jardi Village desk work together."
It may be necessary to send a civilian from Wang Du as a support, but the concurrent business should be fully possible, as it seems that the work of the village of Jarda is not that busy compared to the city of Lienz.
"That's fine with the village of Jarda, what about the city of Lienz? I've already said that it's one hand to leave it to the Adventurer Alliance in bulk."
In the city of Lienz, which is large and populated, it is impossible to constantly escort as many as fifty Horned tribes with different jobs and ranges of action, Fell was in favour of Byrne's policy with regard to the village of Jarda, but did not think that the same method could be used with regard to the city of Lienz.
"Depending on what you do, I think it's possible to work as a point of contact with Alliance staff. If it's hard to commission, why don't you send a civilian to the guild?
Aria, a former Adventurer Alliance employee, had also actually been consulted on the assignment.
"Besides, the Adventurer Guild has a magic comm machine, so emergency contact will go smoothly, and more importantly, I think it's comforting in case the top of the line is Mr. Greg."
Given the emergency, Jin also agreed with Fell.
"... does it matter if there is a magic comms machine in an emergency? Can't you install it in Jarda Village or call your father?"
In the current state of the village of Jarda, where the only fastest means of communication is the carriage, the emergency response turns too far behind. Magic comms are rare, but the significance of installing them in the village of Jarda was ample.
"Oh, that's good. That's why the village of Jarda will be the place with the most Arcane inhabitants for over a hundred years to come, and it's like home in this world to them. I think it would be nice to have the means to contact you."
Those planning to go to Lienz Street had a lot of adventurer aspirations, so it was a story that could well be scattered around in the future, but that's unlikely in the case of Jarda Village. If I were to leave, I would be a substitute for my children and grandchildren. As Jin said, it should inevitably be the village with the highest number of Arcane tribes.
"Well...... you sure do"
But Byrne nods loudly and again to the obvious story. And when I put my hand on my chin, I began to think with a slight lean down.
"... Byrne, is something bothering you too?
"Hmm? Oh, sorry. I've been thinking a bit about the future."
After waiting a while, Byrne's condition remained the same, and when the curious Kurt spoke up, Byrne immediately returned to me, but realized that what he had returned was too vague, and began to tell me his thoughts as they were.
"We'll have to look at it for a hundred years in this country until the Horned become a normal species to be seen anywhere, and if we think about it in the world, that could take a thousand years. Once again, I realized that we were doing the important work that was the first foundation.... Now we're doing something historic."
The others who were listening to this burn snort as well. I was going to understand the importance of this job, but I guess I could feel it still by putting it into words.
But this isn't the only thing Byrne was thinking about.
"I've been thinking that what matters to me is the last few years, maybe five years at a long time, but that's different. So much so that a child that would be born would grow up and have another child. I think we should support the Arcane as a nation for at least the next fifty years until they grow up."
Of course, direct support, such as financial assistance, will not have to last that long, or maybe in the end it will just take the form of watching. But even if the form of support changed, Byrne felt that it was really up to the country and the future king to set up a system that they would keep an eye on until they were rooted in this world.
"I want you all to think about it."
Everyone nods forcefully at the intentions of this burn. However, there were other problems that could not be avoided if we considered the next fifty years.
"-So I have a favor to ask of Mr. Chesty."
With an expression of bitterness, Byrne stares straight at Chesty.
"It may be cruel to do this favor to you who will finally be free. But pushing it didn't think of anyone more qualified than you.... Will you come to Wang Du and work for the Arigatsu as my assistant? And I don't know how many years from now, but I want you to take over the role of my head."
Until earlier, Byrne saw the Arcane as a protected object, and had no idea of giving them a point of contact or other role. But now that they realize that they are not protecting, but supporting, they have no hesitation in using themselves in support work for the Arcane.
And if we support the Arcane for the long term in the future, we will not be able to serve as the responsible person for the long term in Byrne, who plans to succeed to the throne in the future. Instead, Byrne decided Chesty deserved it.
However, Byrne, who himself admires Ichii, had hesitation in involving Chesty, who was free from royal smugness. It may be cruel to say that all she has done so far for the Horns is fully fulfilling her role as a royalty, and that she should work for the Horns even more on this. That was why Byrne hesitated.
"I will gladly assume that role. I didn't think about going to Wang Du, but I was also going to talk to him about whether I could get involved in the work in either Jarda Village or Lienz."
But it was a useless worry for Chesty. Byrne's policy shift was thankful, just because he was solemnly complaining that it would be a problem for the parties to join the supporting organisation. Moreover, he was entrusted with the role of assistant to Byrne, so that he could work as the person responsible in the future. There can't be any complaints.
"... sorry. Thanks."
"No, because it's a pleasure for me"
It was Byrne, who starts with an apology because of a slight but lingering guilt, but Chesty is returning it with a full grin. Saved by that laugh, Byrne was also smiling back at Chesty.
This caused a gentle air to flow through the paragraph and the field, but after a little, Byrne's face accidentally turns into something serious. Those eyes were directed straight at Chesty.
"... I was worried if I should say this, but I still want you to say it"
In order to work with Shesty in the future, Byrne had some serious things to do.
"I'm going to be working with you, but I also want to say something to keep this emotion out of my work"
From Byrne's face, stretched hard by the bees, it can be seen that he is at the extreme of the tension. I also watched my surroundings swallow my solitary spit.
"I'll start with the first one, but I don't hesitate to get back to you and say it in earnest. I, Bastian, swear not to bring any personal feelings into my future work, no matter what the reply may be.... I just don't think it feels good to work right around the corner with the guy I shook, but I'm sorry about that. I give up badly so I'll keep thinking, but I only tell you how I feel once a year so I don't bother you, so I want you to forgive me for that."
I wasn't going to give up on Byrne even if he turned me down here, but for once he seems to be thinking about keeping Chesty out of trouble as much as possible. And because of this love affair, Burn seemed to have to settle for his feelings before becoming a work companion with Chesty.
(Do you say it at this time)
It's just that Jin didn't understand the uneven seriousness of this burn either, but he's in the middle of a meeting right now. I didn't think it was the right place, and Byrne was already the one who Shesty turned down his confession once.
In that moment of silence when Byrne vomited the next word, the sound of someone swallowing a gokuri and a twat reached Jin's ear.
"... I want you to go out with me on the assumption of marrying me"
"Yes."
However, in contrast to Byrne, who had resisted tension, Chesty was smiling calmly.
"... Huh?!
"So the reply is yes. I admire you too."
For Byrne, expectations are unexpected. But naturally and Chesty had come to have respect and affection for Byrne, who had thus taken me seriously about the Horns, and who had not given up since the first time we met.
About a month after I first met Byrne. That seemed like enough time for Chesty to find out about Byrne and like him as a heterosexual.
"... would you mind if I called you Chesty?
"Yes. Byrne"
"Chesty...... I love you"
"Yes. Me, too. Burn."
I guess I can feel it now, little by little. Byrne had a swinging grin.
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations, Princess"
"You did it, Byrne"
"Chesty, keep up the good work"
A number of blessing voices wrap those two up. As friends, as compatriots, and as loved by the same man. We have our own positions, but we are all the same wholeheartedly blessed.
This time of happiness lasted for a while, but let us not forget the original purpose that we are gathered here.
"Ah, now that Chesty's going to the King's Capital, the people who said they wanted to follow him are going to the King's Capital.
"Oh, you start all over again."
Around twenty people who wished to follow Chesty would go to the King's Capital, not Lienz. Not as far from the beginning as Fell and Kurt say, but the plan has to change dramatically. There are piles of decisions to make, including the selection of the Wang capital, the city of Lienz, the village of Jarda, the three contact points and the Horned tribes involved in it.
"Come on, do you even get in the mood for Byrne and Chesty!
"" Ooh!
"" "Yes!
But everyone smiled and proceeded with the meeting as a delight.
