The Novice Alchemist’s Store

However, it seems that my self-assessment did not enjoy much approval.

"Hey, it's warm."

"(She dropped her neck the moment the monster came out, right?

"Oh, we didn't even have time for weapons."

"(Do you remember the meaning of the word" generous "by mistake?

Wow. I was worried about the wounded.

As the days went by, their injuries healed and they were now able to walk on their feet, except for Lloyd, who had been seriously injured.

Still, half of us can fight it all.

When there was a riot, it was dangerous, and I was rotten to deal with it quickly. I am.

And yet, this rating.

But I'm not angry.

It's so generous!

"I also know that the manager is kind and kind."

Isn't it?

The boulder is Iris. Thank you for your judgment!

"- But sometimes it's relentless, isn't it?

"That's right. For example, if I came back and the store was destroyed or something like that happened...."

"Wouldn't it be a shatter and too much momentum to kill Baron Kirk?

My shop worked hard to fix the garden, rebuild the walls, repair the exterior walls and roofs, put up stylish signs, and put them into my favorite interiors.

Back in the village, the shop was destroyed - imagine that.

"... it's okay, I guess."

"You've lost a lot!?"

"Oh, calm down, okay? Store manager."

"Calm down. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey."

"No, Sarasa. You felt something really cold.

Oops.

Stopped Baron Kirk rolling in front of the destroyed shop.

Perhaps that's how I imagined it would have leaked.

"Are you sure? For now, the manager is a civilian. If you put a nobleman in your hands, you'll be in trouble."

No, I mean, no matter how cheap it is, that shop is my precious castle.

Besides, it's not worth living, is it?

It's like a bandit, isn't it?

You should apologize for dying, right?

Kate sighed as if she had read my mood from my face.

"Should I marry Iris nominally? Then it would be a nobleman."

"Ugh... it's okay. I weigh myself."

Maybe it's safer for a moment? I thought about it.

Indeed, if a civilian kills a nobleman, he will certainly be executed, even if there is a reason for this.

This is not something that can be covered with some backing or connections.

But if there is a difference in titles between nobles, the situation will change completely.

If it takes the form of a “duel”, the other party will not be held responsible even if he dies, and if it is treated as a “conflict”, it will be judged fairly.

Because that's exactly why we got married...

"... store manager, if you kill someone, don't leave any witnesses behind. If I can buy time, I can do the crafts."

"Mm-hmm. In that case, I should have killed him. I'm noble, and the manager owes me that much."

"No, that's why I won't!

I shook my head in a hurry to both of them with so serious expressions.

If Iris tells me that, I can't do it!

--But in case of an incident, should I prepare a non-lethal attack smelter (potion)?

Something like that that that makes you want to run away.

I rolled up the whole alchemy in my head, and when I was laughing with Fufufu, Madison and the others started talking to Kokoshiko with the look that they pulled.

"Captain, we're not listening to you...."

"Listen, they already have our lives in their hands."

"On the contrary, I've been treated for my injuries and my life has been saved. All we can do is cooperate as much as we can to get rid of the lord?

I see. If he stays the same, the lives of us and our family will be..... "

"I don't have a family. If I have to, I'll be the lord...."

"" Senpai...!

A few young men with tears grip the grumpy fist of a grand man.

It sounds like a good story, but that's not good enough.

Iris broke into the conversation like he was in a hurry.

"Wait, wait! Don't make up your minds to be sad. You're the ones who tried to kill us, but I won't hold back until you cooperate. I got permission from your father to move."

"I still don't know if it'll settle down like this, but you can run away, including your family."

Typically, the higher the number of residents, the higher the tax revenue and the more power the territory will have.

Therefore, as a lord, it is difficult to accept emigration outside the territory, but there are no restrictions on internal emigration in this country, and restrictions are prohibited by the territorial law.

If the people flee, it is the policy of the state that there is only a problem with the rule of the lord, and if they do not like it, make it a territory from which they cannot flee.

As a result, if each lord competes to develop the territory, it will lead to an increase in national power, and if the territory fails and is destroyed, it will be good to descend to the throne and confiscate the territory on the grounds of its failure - perhaps the law was made with that in mind.

However, it is a different issue whether we will be able to live safely in the destination.

It is difficult to find a place to live or work in an unrelated place. If you are an ordinary person, you cannot make a decision to migrate unless you are pushed too far.

Well, there are people who have been pushed here... I understand the difficulty of migrating, so even if I hear Kate's words, the expression won't clear up.

"Thank you very much, but... can you manage by migrating? Surely the Rotze family territory is rural, isn't it? I don't think we have a security job... some farmers, but most of them are amateurs?

"There's not much farmland left to give to a normal village, is there?

Then, from the opening. This is going to be tough. "

"Still, it's cheap if the whole family lives are saved. Fortunately, we are confident in our health. If you can even give me the land, if we all work hard....."

"So don't start early."

Better than dying, Iris will interrupt Madisons who are in a spiritual mood again.

I told you I got permission. Agricultural land will be provided if necessary. I'm not saying we can expect a profitable harvest soon, but there's no need to open it up. "

"Is that... I feel like I'm talking too well?

Not only Madison answered that question, but all the other soldiers looked strange.

As one of the soldiers mentioned earlier, there is no surplus agricultural land in the ordinary countryside.

Originally, farmland is inherited by each house, and children who do not inherit the house will marry the inheritance of other houses, leave the village, or work to open one or eight.

So, if there is surplus agricultural land, it is only natural that it be distributed to young people in the village before the migrants.

It is only natural that they should be suspicious.

However, the situation is a little different this time.

"There is certainly no surplus agricultural land. However, for this time only, the store manager is supposed to cooperate. Don't worry about it."

"The Alchemist's daughter? Well, then, is that possible? That's all... that's why."

All the soldiers looked at me and nodded as if they were convinced.

I'm a little curious about what you think... well, no.

Incidentally, Iris said 'I will cooperate', but I will advise and help and Kate will actually be the main task.

The magic of openness that Kate and Lorea are currently teaching.

I decided to try it out in the territory of the Rotze family, along with my field training.

Depending on the situation, it may not be necessary, but Iris and Kate's siblings would like to be introduced, and I think it would be good to visit once.

"There will still be trouble, but would it be better if your family were executed together?

When Iris laughed at Nicholas, he understood the situation and felt relieved. The soldiers' expressions were bright and the tone was light.

"Of course! Thank you, Señor!

Yeah, it's too light.

Aristocratic treatment of Iris - or excessive struggle - is no longer the same as before, but how about you?

"Ah, Seung-san... I'm not asking you to call me a lady, but if you're going to be a citizen, stop calling me that."

Iris also corrects the words of the well-behaved soldier with a troublesome look on his face.

- But, young lady.

A little unfamiliar words.

Lorea asked Kate next door if she had noticed.

"Is Iris called a lady?

"Yes, Miss Iris. Because I'm the next lord."

"Miss Iris...."

Me and Lorea's voices overlap.

It's not wrong.

I'm not mistaken.

But Iris in his dress... hmm? Maybe it looks good on you?

Kate, maybe we should take a look.

"Got it. Miss Iris!

No, so...

"Well, that's good. It's the same thing when you get home, isn't it?

"That's true... Ah, I see. Call me whatever you want."

Alice, who tried to correct it, sighed as if she had given up.

In fact, if that's what the people are calling it, it doesn't make much sense to just correct Madisons.

"By the way, where's Kate?

"Am I normal?

It was Kate who answered my question, but Iris laughed at it.

They call me Kate.

"Dear Kate!

Without thinking about it, Lorea and I have a voice that meets again.

It's not normal!

No, Kate is also a jury, so it's not strange for the people to call her that!

Still, it's not normal.

As far as we're concerned from the civilian population, it's not normal for everyone to call us by farewell!

That's what I wanted to say...

"--Normal, right?

Kate smiled and said that, but there was no other answer.

I mean, my eyes aren't laughing.
