No, thank you.

Immediately and unequivocally indicate rejection.

Immediately after Marquis Marmont's proposal, Halka's gaze had nothing to do with me, but we should avoid showing ambiguity here.

I understand that, too. I'm doing it.

--Perhaps a beauty maid with beast ears.

I'm not saying I'm not interested, but......!!

Marquis Marmont, I apologize for the inconvenience, but thank you very much.

"Hmph. Well, you've learned a little, haven't you? I don't remember much."

The Marquis of Marmont continued to laugh and say words as if he were seeing through my struggle as he lowered his head in a bloody way.

"As long as the Synod is finished, I don't mind doing it freely afterwards." However, if you are willing to shape it as a territory, you should still find someone who works in the territory. ”

“Is that a migrant?”

"That's not true." I've done some research on the territory that you can give me, but if you suddenly accept immigrants, they will all die, right? "

"...... I can't deny it."

I nodded again after being told in amazement.

The monsters that appeared in the land around the dungeon were by no means weak.

Naturally, ordinary people were prey to monsters on low-ranking adventurers, and they wouldn't even be able to reach them in the first place.

At first sight, there is a barrier around the entrance to the dungeon, but only a limited number of people can enter it.

I can't live in a very large number of people.

"Well, first of all, I wonder if we can open it up ourselves?" I want help, but I can't do it with normal people. But we can't afford to hire someone who can survive there. Do you want to do your best? "

"Even if you hire workers, you can't protect them." Given the frequency of encounters with monsters in the area,

"Even if you can protect it, how many people are there like us?" Then it would be faster for us to explore it ourselves. "

Apart from the parts of the building that require technology, when it comes to reclamation, which is mainly physical labor, we are definitely more efficient at using magic to the health of more than ordinary people.

It is better to work normally than to hone your nerves into guarding workers.

"That said, how do I proceed..."

It is natural to open up the area around the dungeon and secure a safe place to live, but it is hard to say that it is a territory without the inhabitants living there.

Should we recruit the colonists somewhere?

Or is it better to firmly start up administrative related projects first?

Should we gather the territory in the first place?

I don't have any trouble with the money I've earned so far, so if we're going to survive, there might be a way to manage the area around the dungeon and hire only the minimum number of personnel.

"... just because we become nobles doesn't necessarily mean that we need to develop the territory all at once, does it?"

"That's right. But whoever you're trying to spill over will come out?" Some of them try to trick us into making a profit. "

"You guys aren't used to negotiating with the rest of the world, are you?" Don't you need someone to talk to? "

The Marquis of Marmont and Lord Raymond tell us all, and we meet face to face.

We've lived an information society. I think they're more familiar with fraud tricks than they think, but they're less confident about this world and the things that are unique to their country.

The [Common Sense of the Otherworld] held by the Hulkas is not compatible with anything other than common sense, so it certainly doesn't have much effect on the common sense of the nobles.

"When that happens, it's better to hire someone stronger around here... ah, don't you think Leah can handle it?" I'm a natural-born aristocrat. "

Natsuki pointed out that, and now the three Marquis of Marmont looked at each other like they were in trouble.

"Ahh, I don't mean to say I can't..."

"The next president was determined to be me." Leah's not very good at that. "

"Leah, so study hard..." It's not the job of an aristocrat's wife to defend territory by force. "

"Mother..." But luckily, Toya wasn't the lord. It would be enough for the two of you to stand shoulder to shoulder and protect your territory from the outside world! ”

Leah, who was gazed at by the three family members, lowered her eyebrows with a pathetic expression, but immediately recovered her attention and declared strongly.

However, Emile sighed in awe.

“It doesn't matter if you're an ordinary aristocrat, but Nao will be an emerging aristocrat. What if you, the daughter of the Marquis, don't take the initiative!"

"Ugh..."

You must understand that Emile-sama's words are the truth.

Leah lowered her ears and opened her mouth so that Master Raymond could take it.

"Well, Mother, I think Leah, who has gained all the salsa stories, is the daughter of the Marmont family who can be proud enough." All you have to do is leave it to someone who's good at internal affairs. "

"Brother, as expected..."

She raised her face happily and said something to Leah.

I don't want you to force me to do it, even if it becomes irreversible.

"Brother..."

Lady Raymond's words were tears in her eyes again.

"Leah, it's okay. I'm not good at that either." But if you leave it to Harka and the others, you can rest assured that there's basically no problem. "

"No, that's what I'm worried about... after all, I have no choice but to study?"

"Hahaha... well, maybe Leah should learn something too." It is possible to send someone from our house who is good at internal affairs, and perhaps the Count of Suliviya will introduce us, but I will not force you to accept it. "

"You don't mind if we say no...?"

The nobility of Toya and I was helped by the Marquis of Marmont.

Is it really permissible to refuse to be referred by such a person?

Hulka asked her to explore whether it was actually a coercion, just by saying it in a social gesture, but Master Raymond laughed lightly so that nothing would happen.

"Because Toya is going to be my brother-in-law." I think my brothers are good, but my mother's children are still me and Leah. After I become the principal, I'm the strongest relative, but I won't get along with you. If you accept that, that would be appreciated. "

"But I think it's better to have someone introduced by me or Suliviya than to hire a bad guy." It will be a string, but it is guaranteed to be a decent person. Or does anyone have any idea? "

It would be natural for someone introduced by the Marquis of Marmont and the Count of Suliviya to get the intentions of the introducer, and from our perspective as emerging aristocrats, that would not be a problem in itself.

Rather, it would be more profitable to remain connected and sheltered.

The question is, how well does the person you introduced fit in with us?

In a nutshell, a small number of elite people will be stressed to work with people who don't like it, and it won't be easy to restrict them after receiving an introduction.

"That said, there aren't many people we know..."

"I see... Tommy?"

"Hmm, you might be able to help me if you ask, but it's a little different from the human resources I'm looking for."

"That's right. In the long run, I would appreciate the presence of a blacksmith..."

We need carpenters to build houses, and we need soldiers to defend our territory.

And the existence of blacksmiths is essential to those professions, so if Tommy comes to the territory, he will definitely be saved.

However, the first thing I needed was a civil servant, and even with the extreme toya, I could do some blacksmithing work.

"Is it Diora who seems to match even a little of her acquaintances?"

"... by the way, was Diora an aristocrat?" I wasn't really aware of it.

I usually have a nice sister.

Sometimes you can see the impudence, but there is no aristocratic arrogance, and you are a very reliable person.

It's no exaggeration to say that we're here because of Diora's help.

"Diora... Diora Meredith?"

"I don't even know your family name... maybe?" Are you familiar with it? "

I nod ambiguously to Marquis Marmont's confirmation.

I've heard of Diora's parents as baronesses, but I don't remember her family name.

But the Marquis of Marmont's naming here must be that Diora you've always cared for.

"We're investigating you." Of course, the same goes for the people around us. The Merediths are connected to the Nenuses. "

"Is that so?" That said, it must be hard to pull Diora out of the Adventurer's Guild. ”

Diora is the deputy director of the Rafan Adventurer's Guild.

I don't think making money is that bad, and it's a fairly stable profession.

Even though Diora is always helping us, I didn't think there was any reason to put up with any trouble until we quit the Adventurer's Guild.
