Episode 4: Forests, Villages, and Walls * 3

"... more than I thought."

I thought it was about the size of 10 fine people. [M] What, 100 people? 100 applicants.

"Well, it's been a reform since our territory began. Are we in the mood, too? That's why I liked the ad. Then 100 people gathered!

Oh, I see. That's right. This forest, including the land around it, has always been inviolable... It's temperamental...

"As far as the number of applicants is concerned, almost all the people under the direct control of King's Land have applied....."

Faye said that and roared a little.

"... that sounds pretty serious. Direct control of King's Land"

"That's right...."

I think it's going to be pretty amazing because 100 people are making up their minds to move at once. Though I can't imagine it right now.

"Besides, there's damage in the neighboring territories. If you crushed one of your spiritual pulses, there's a lot to it."

"Mmm...."

... I don't think it's helpful for the royals to be in trouble for what they've done. Though it may be a little mean.

But it's not good to cause trouble to people around you who haven't done anything.

"So, if this is going to be a big deal, I'm thinking of applying for a second or third colony at this rate. There will still be hope, and now the farmers who are adhering under the direct control of King's Landing will have to cut through before this winter....."

... I see. It's getting kind of tough.

If we don't increase the size of the field, more people than 100 will get a rash. So I have to grow the fields, and, uh, plow more around the woods for that? Uh, uh...

"So, I don't want to choose some of the 100 people. There's a lot of people coming for a good salary, and it's not smart to hire all of them for a boulder...."

Um, is that supposed to be an interview with 100 people?

... I'll do my best.

Leaving aside the interview, I built an additional house. [M] The land was also cultivated. I can do it now. If I had been a spiritual, I wouldn't have been able to leave this Pompom House, so maybe I should have been a spiritual. Thanks to this, at least we can help the colonists.

"Hey, hey. You can't do this! How many houses have you built?

"Wow, I don't know... about 30?

In the meantime, as soon as I had it, I built it. I don't really know anymore because I was plowing the fields.

... it's incredibly laborious to draw houses one at a time, so I draw about 10 houses at a time and it's like a residential area. That would be efficient... but I wonder if the amount of magic consumed is also large. I'm a little tired.

"All right, that's enough. I'll put him to bed! Laocles, help me!

Did you call him?

Oh, they called Laocles! I can't! I still want to plow a little more fields... oh, no. I can't escape Laocles.

"Don't put me to bed! Lyla, stop trying to put me to bed right now! And don't partner with Laocles!

"Really? Well, I know how you feel. You're in a hurry. If only 100 people came at once."

Yeah, that's right.

... I'm in a hurry. Until now, there have only been a few people, including me, but there will be 100 more people at once.

So....

"But you should go to bed. The complexion is not good."

But Lyla was ruthless. That's why he left me in Laocles.... uhh.

"What if I'm asleep?"

"If you're asleep. To work, you need to rest now."

... yeah. I will.

"... later. When I look at you sleeping on a hammock surrounded by horses..."

Then Lyla pulled her mouth together, wrinkled between her eyebrows, thought for a moment... and then looked at me with a slightly soft eye and said.

"... I don't care."

What!?

I realized that Lyla seemed to be watching me sleep, so I was a little embarrassed to sleep.

So I decided to bring the tube fox in front of my face before going to bed so that I wouldn't see my face while I was asleep. Perfect for blindfolding.

... I just feel like I was dreaming of being tickled by the tail of a tube fox while I was asleep. And then when I woke up, a tube fox slipped into my clothes. [M]

And when I got up and went home for dinner, I was told by Claire, "You were tickling me with the tail of a tube fox while I slept." I smiled and laughed. I don't know what to do anymore...

... so I took a break and added more houses and fields. It's okay to have more people at once.

But... the next question is, how do you choose people?

"Interview 100 people?

"No, this time it's 100 people, but if this continues to increase at this rate in the future, there will be 200 next and 400 next... that's not strange..."

... 400 people interviewed on the boulder, a bit.

"I think it would be better to select some of the documents, but what do you think?

"Hmm...."

As for my feelings, I still have a strong feeling that I want to meet and talk to you in person. Otherwise, I don't think I know if that person is really a good person.

But... 400 people are a bit impossible.

"I wish I had at least 40 of them..."

I think the man-sea tactics are the best, but we have a small number of people, so I guess we'll have to take some time.

If Faye and I were in trouble, Ange brought us some tea.

"Go ahead."

"Oh, it's a new treat again."

He brought me a cup of tea and then a cake.

... the cake with the cream on it looks simple, but it looks delicious. After eating it with a fork, it is very delicious because of the melting sponge and the loose cream.

The fairies are getting better and better.

"Yeah... it's so tight. Because there are more people."

Ange looks up at the fairy flying over Ange's head and smiles. Then the fairies began to come around again with joy.

"I'm just worried."

... but when Ange said so, the fairy sat on Ange's head with a slightly serious face and stared up at me.

The fairy says something there, but because I don't understand the fairy's words, it only sounds like the chirping bell is ringing.

"Um... are you a good person to come? What?"

"It's about the farmer, right? Um... I'm just thinking about choosing a good person."

When I told the fairy that I was just talking about it, the fairy nodded a few times and leaned a little. And then he talks again.

Huh?

Ange, who heard that, leaned her neck a bit... and looked up at me and said, "Oops.

"... you know, I want the fairies to choose someone who can get along with them properly."

"Yeah, that's what we want to do."

I want you to come not only to be fairies, but also to be friends with horses and birds. The field is outside the forest, and basically because the forest is a "Spirit Forest", I plan to keep people from entering, but still, there is still a feeling that you want to take care of the same thing.

"I don't know. I don't know how to choose... anyway. What kind of guy gets along with a fairy? Do I have to see a fairy?

As Faye stepped forward and listened, the fairy shook her neck on Ange's head and said something.... isn't that right?

"Um, you don't have to see anything else. However, there is someone who seems to take care of me even if I can't see... because you can think that there are no fairies, so it's better if you like them..."

... I see. Does that mean, after all, what kind of person does a fairy like...?

"... hey, Corn"

If I had bothered the fairy's request, Fay would have flashed his face beside me. [M]

"I've come up with something good."

... good thing?

... so the interview started the next day.

Me and Lyla are in charge of reception. I'm just sitting at my desk and getting my papers out. I'll just talk to you for a second, but just for a second. It's not an interview.

The documents we received will be processed by Laocles in the back seat. Just checking it and splitting it up, but standing in front of the desk for a little while, you can't see it from the people who came.

... and Lian and Ange are working together. Take the visitors to the waiting table or distribute tea and sweets to the people waiting. Lean's ice sperm helped me with this. Ice birds fly and give me a number tag or give me the next number.

In this kind of venue... the farmers who thought they were just going to take out the paperwork were a little confused.

The reception is for kids like me and Lyla, and there are only two more children working. There is an adult in the back, but obviously it is Laocles, whose model is better suited than an escort rather than an administrative work. Besides, tea and sweets come out.... well, it could be a strange atmosphere.

But this is important.

... why did you bother to come to the site and hand over the documents? That's because this is the first interview.

Of course, we're not interviewing. I'm going to talk a little bit about that as a reference.

The most important thing... is fairies.

Some of the people waiting, a little gaze everywhere.

These are 'visible' people. People who see fairies.

... because there are over 100 fairies gathered in this room right now.

For those who see fairies, it looks lively. That's why I don't feel comfortable. Yeah....

The fairies are looking at the people waiting. And make sure you get a "pin or not".

... when I checked with what it was called "pin and roll", it was almost like "Does it fit the forest?" Temperament and sensitivity to magic. It seems that such things can be seen in the eyes of fairies. Wow.

The fairies push the handkerchief of the fairy stamp when the "pin and roll" person is present and the documents brought by that person reach Laocles. Fairy tattoos.

On the contrary, the fairies said, "This man can't do this! If someone thinks, when they get to Laocles, press the" not hired "hanko.... there were some documents inside that were pressed" Not adopted "about 10 of them," Pom Pom Pom Pom Pom ". When I showed it to Claire later, I laughed and said," Oh, this is a detective. My colleague, but now he's at a house hostile to the Redgards, "he said.... fairy observation eyes are amazing.

... so we finished the first selection by the fairy. The fairies seem to have enjoyed this unexpectedly, so I guess that's good.

"The number of 100 is down to 25....."

Amazing.

And if there are 25 people, we can interview them again, and if it seems okay, we can hire them. This is enough for an interview in one day!

"Thank you. Thank you."

Thanking the fairies, they smiled happily.

"Um, I'm honored to help you, Spirit-Sensei...."

Oh, I see. I wonder if the fairies worship me too much somehow...

Um... Ange can also help you with the corn oniichan, here it is. "

... and that's what Ange says with a twitch... tickles like this. It tickles so much...

The following week, the person who decided not to hire was notified. Then, together with the 25 people the fairies liked and the 10 people they chose separately from the human eye, we invite 35 people to the Red Gard territory. Interview there.

... there's not enough carriages in the boulders because people go and come in large numbers at once. So I drew a carriage and put it out. Well, like a car, the tires are rubber and hollow carriages. I was wondering if that would absorb the vibration.

And the carriage is made of aluminum. It's very heavy when it's made out of wood alone, and the horse holding the carriage is a bit pathetic.

And the horse holding the carriage is a unicorn.

... the unicorn seems to be very powerful compared to horseless horses. That's why even a normal horse can easily run on a tiring road.

As for me, I was a little worried that the horse would be okay to go out, but I decided to send him out because of the fake saying, "The one who has the courage to attack the unicorn carrying the carriage with the Red Gard family crest will no longer be on the road from Red Gard territory to King's Landing." Laocles and Mr. Crowe are on one of the carriages because they are worried.

And in the meantime, we'll have an interview, 35 people, so we'll split it.

The interviewers are Faye, Faye's father and brother, and me.

... is it okay for me? [M] Are you sure you want an interviewer? Me?

No, I'm interviewing two people in pairs, so I'm not the only one who picks people, and I'm relieved about that...

... I got worried and asked Faye, and she answered that Faye was working with me on an interview.

"Oh, that's okay. You're all there is to it."

... I don't know, so when I asked for a little more explanation, Faye smiled and explained.

"We interview people who don't have fairy marks. In other words, as fairies," they don't have any particular problems, but they don't think it's good. "On the contrary, you're still a chosen talent."

Yeah, I know.

"And I'll drop the one who looks at you and openly licks you. That's all you got, isn't it?

... eh.

Sure, there's me and Lyla in the woods, and there's Leann and Angel younger than us. If anything, there are many creatures that are weaker than humans. Is that why people who don't seem to get along with me should not come...?

When I asked Faye a question, Faye answered while scratching her cheeks.

"... you know... In the first place, the guy who looks at you and thinks you're really just a kid, whether you feel magic or sensitivity, is not suitable for a forest full of magical beasts."

... is that so?

"Speaking of which, of the 10 groups of people who came earlier, two looked at me and said," Are you a spirit? There was someone who said ', but.... "

When I remembered, Faye nodded with a smile.

"I knew it. Somehow, you look like a human being, because you're so fluffy and fluffy."

Doesn't that mean you're a fluffy person? Does that mean you're not human after all?

"... well, is it magic or the atmosphere? Yeah, that's a little different. Especially when you're near the woods."

Achieved. When I'm in the woods, the spirits in the woods will be strong. [M]

... have I been so far away from humans? It's kind of complicated, but... if I can be a wood-fit checker, well, okay.

That's how we interviewed 10 people, Faye's father and brother, and 25 people. Thank you very much.

"... it's hard to interview."

"I don't know. But, well, it seems like a good person will come because of me...."

Among the 10 people, there were some who felt like, "This guy is excellent," "This guy is amazing," or "I think I can get along with this guy." It would be great if there were a lot of such people. I want to be around such a forest.

"Well, thanks to you, we're going to be saved. Sooner or later, we'll be able to harvest it in summer, won't we?

"Yes, the fruit is already fruity, so we can ship it quickly"

When I answered, Faye smiled with a stunned face. [M]

"Well, well done. Corn. Can I help you with anything else?

"Huh? No, it's fine. I'll build the fields, I'll build the houses... and Faye already has advertisements, interviews, and so on..."

... but after answering that, I remembered a lot and decided to tell Faye.

"If you insist, don't let Lyla call Laocles."

If you do.

"Sorry. I can't do that."

Fay smiled sharply and said no.

Well, yeah. I thought so.
