Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

"What happens to adventurers if it becomes a war between nations?

"As a rule, I'm free. Because the compulsory request is if a demon strikes a town. However, you may be asked to cooperate."

"Request,"

"Yes, it's not compulsory, but if you're going to live in that country, it feels better to ask for it"

Well, if someone is relaxing without cooperation, even though they are struggling, the gaze from around them will be a harsh object.

If you are temporarily visiting a country, you will have a hand in ignoring such things... but there are quite a few people I know in this country.

"That said, I'm not saying where, but some countries are in trouble, so if you're staying in such a country, I suggest you look at the situation and get out of here early. Because some countries don't respect the independence of the Adventurer Alliance."

I don't intend to enter the country, but the kingdom of Fegley is the right-wing one, right? The Yupicrisian Empire doesn't want to cooperate if it discriminates against elves either.

I don't want to cooperate in the war if I can, but if the Kingdom of the Lenium is going to lose, I will have to think about it in that case.

It is troublesome that there will be no more easy countries to spend, and if the Kingdom of Rainium loses, the Principality of Austianim, an ally, will be in danger next.

Given me, Hulka, and the Toya race, it would be too detrimental for these two countries to disappear, nor would it be very realistic to look for another country altogether to escape.

Because it's not so easy to get information about other countries.

"Ma, you don't have to worry. There hasn't been a war with another country in over a decade, and in case there is, it hardly affects this territory far from the border. Instead, you should worry about the demons attacking you. This one's compulsory."

Well, you can't help it this way.

Demon hunting is the real deal for adventurers, and so is our home.

Oh, by the way, this compulsory request, it just doesn't really apply to adventurers who only do day labor, and even if they do, it seems to be to the extent of backward support.

I guess I just let them actually fight and make more sacrifices in vain.

"I get it. Thanks for everything. So, what's your other favor?

"Ah, yes. I was wondering if you could take on the escort request."

"Escort request? Diora would know, but we're not very good at it..."

"Yes, but this time it's a little different..."

If you ask me in detail, she wants to ask for an escort to attend the inheritance wedding that takes place in Baron Diaz territory, the son of Viscount Nenas.

"Isn't that usually what noble knights and leading soldiers do? Not really, I don't think it's like asking an adventurer...?

"Yep. Of course, Viscount Nenas' lead soldiers will also be attached as escorts. But unfortunately, you're not very skilled, are you, soldier?"

The Viscount Nenas are not very wealthy, and in this basically peaceful realm, there is also a low need to have strong leading soldiers and a limited number of them.

This time it seems that we want to hire adventurers in a complementary way due to the effects of the unrest in Kerg and the lack of human capacity, as well as the insecurity on the road and the way we fight well.

"What I ask you all to do is to be vigilant and crusade against demons and bandits. The direct escort of my son will be provided by the lead soldiers, so I was wondering if it would be relatively easy. You don't have to worry too much about your daughter."

"... Really?

"Yep. At least, you're not a weirdly arrogant nobleman, so if you deal with it normally, it's fine, right?

"Then... maybe we could consider it? Depends on the reward."

We also have the advantage of gaining experience with escorts, and I appreciate the spread of responsibility in the unlikely event.

So that's what Harka replied, but Mr. Diola gave him a slightly troubled look.

"There, what is it... Viscount Nenas doesn't have much room right now."

Where it wasn't originally very wealthy, the Kerg commotion made it necessary to have a reconstruction budget, plus Baron Diaz's inheritance wedding there.

Because my neighbor's heir is getting married, I need a messenger of quite a position, and I can't get a celebration.

In that regard, Red Strike Ox milk seemed to be a dry weather benevolence as Viscount Nenas because it was more scarce and worthwhile than the amount and was ideal as a celebration of marriage.

"I just worked hard there, but the fee for the adventurer is better...... She's an important son, so she wants to have a good escort, but she doesn't seem to have anything ahead of her. I was also told" cheaper adventurers with good arms "and so on."

"Uh-huh, I'm looking after Diora, so I think I'd like to do something about it, but without a fair reward..."

"I don't need a weirdly high reward, but I want you to pay a reasonable amount."

"Yes, if you mean the buyer of Red Strike Ox milk, you can study it somewhat..."

Oh, speaking of which, you had it.

If you think you bought me 10,000 pieces of gold at a time, although it's a legitimate buyout amount, maybe that should be taken into account.

"I'm also an employee of the Alliance, so I'm not going to use you all for unfair compensation. I was just wondering if you could talk to me a little about the rewards. Ladies and gentlemen, 'Dungeons of Heat Protection', don't you want it?

"" "... Yes?

All of a sudden we twisted our necks in all those words.

'Want' the dungeon?

What do you mean?

"Typically, ownership of the dungeon rests with the lord of the land. We have an undertaking that our ownership, precisely the 'Dungeon of Heat Protection' and its vicinity near the entrance, will be given away instead of rewards."

"... er, I mean, you can make that dungeon our private property?

"Yes, you get the authority to ban entry - no, you get the authority to decide how to treat it. It is your responsibility to do so."

I mean, closing that dungeon, taking the admission fee, taxes from what you get inside (?) also free to get.

However, if we want to do that, we should prepare our own security personnel, etc.

I mean, does it feel like Mr. Diola negotiated this because we wanted to monopolize the fruit?

"Is that possible?

"It's possible. I don't usually do it though."

Ownership of land, for example, also involves aristocratic rights, so they usually do not transfer their rights entirely.

Our home has become our property for once, but we need an annual tax, and in some cases the lord's intentions may prevail and be taken away.

Of course, in that case, it is normal to be compensated with money, etc., but just because you did not do it does not mean that the common people can do anything.

However, since it will show gaps against other nobles, it usually seems to be handled properly.

"But this' reward 'is a little different. We will also register properly, so you will not be overshadowed by anything other than the King"

"That's awesome... of, right?

"Yes. Well, there's a reason it's a place,"

Where the predecessors of the present Viscount of Nenas have been softened, even though it is even more suspicious that a place with a dungeon extends both to the edge and to the edge of the Viscount of Nenas.

As Viscount Nenas, it is a stain that I want to erase, and there is also a certain advantage in its disappearance.

Plus, we're the only ones diving, and most of what we get there is going to be sold in Raffan's guild.

As Viscount Nenas, we can expect more harvest than we do now because taxes come in from it, and on the contrary, if getting a dungeon motivates us.

If conceding such a dungeon eliminates the need to reward hiring a rank 5 adventurer, it seems like a good decision.

"I see. That's what you said, Mr. Diola negotiated?

"Yeah, well, yeah. Lower your reward, but I don't care if you tell me, so I figured I'd make a compromise."

Mr. Diola laughs bitterly, while affirming Hulka's words.

Viscount Naenas couldn't possibly have known our details, and Mr. Diola seemed to have negotiated looking for something that Viscount Naenas was easy to pay for and that we were also worth a certain amount.

Honestly, we have a high hurdle in negotiating remuneration for noble opponents, and if that makes us lords of where we live, there are parts of us that we have to accept if we are somewhat unscrupulous.

With that in mind, the details of the negotiations that Diola put together seem pretty good......

"What am I going to do? I don't think it's bad conditionally..."

"Well, you are. It doesn't really matter as it stands, but if there were adventurers coming that far, it would be huge to be able to ban intrusion"

"Anyway, the fruit is going to be picked up easily."

"Yeah. If they pick it before it's time to eat..."

And when they kill Strike Ox for nothing, they can't milk it either.

Even assuming we let adventurers in, it's huge that we can set our own rules.

"I think it's a good idea to ask, huh? I think it's a good opportunity to go to another town."

"Oh, that's for sure. If it wasn't for this opportunity, we wouldn't be traveling very far."

Because my life is stable now and I'm not very dissatisfied.

"So, you want me to do it?...... yeah. Mr. Diora, let me ask you for that job."

"Thank you! No, if I can't ask you guys to do this, honestly, there wasn't any adventurers I could trust. It helps."

Diora grins slightly softer and breathes heavily, wondering if the story is wrapped up and hoarse.

"I usually take care of Mr. Diola. It would have been nice if I could repay you at all. But if you're pinning, aren't you quite there?

"No, because it's peaceful over there, too. If it's just strong, it's still high rank..."

Again, this Viscount Nenas territory, less work for adventurers, seems to be an overall story.

I suppose it would be a good area if I thought there was less trouble, but it's a little subtle from the point of view of revitalization.

Ms Diola said Viscount Nenas seems to be a 'lord without difficulty'.

"If I could, it would have been nice to have a party with a lot of women"

The escort is a woman.

"How many Viscount Nenas ladies are there?

"I'm 9 years old. You're a little below Mary."

It was smaller than I imagined!

It's Viscount Nenas' name, so I thought he was a very adult, but is it okay?

"Oh, no, Mary's 9 now, isn't she?

Natsuki is the one of us who keeps an eye out for surprises, pointing that out firmly.

Hearing that, now Mr. Diola expresses her surprise in the face.

"Huh? Sounds like you've been solid enough for that...?

"It must be a home environment. I think it would be nice to have some more kids...... Speaking of which, can you even sign up for the Adventurer Guild in the year of Mary or Meatier?

"Yes, for once. Without parents, I can't really get a job. Will you be registered?

"Well, maybe I should sign up. He said he wanted to be an adventurer."

"I understand. Shall we make it now?

"Can you?

"Yes, I have a guardian."

Guild cards in this world don't have special features like 'Register Magic', so they can be made without the person.

Still, usually the person has to come and make it, but Mr. Diola knows the two of us, and she knows we're the guardians.

So it seemed like they could make it if we wanted, but it was Toya who disagreed with it.

"No, let's let him make it, huh? You're happy to make guild cards, too, aren't you?

"... so is that. I'm sorry, Mr. Diola. See you again, please."

"Yes, I understand. Waiting for you."

To Toya's words, Mr. Diola nods as he is convinced.

The first time I made a guild card, I shouted my chest in hope... and you weren't there?

I was more anxious.

Because I was in a situation where I didn't know the right or the left.

And financially, it felt like Setouchi could secure the inn for the day.

Well, Mary and Meetier are in a completely different situation, and I'm sure, as Toya said, they'll register adventurers with their breasts raised in hope. I'm sure.
