Virtuous Old Man, SSS-Rank is Confirmed in Your Next Life

03. Good people, they invade with tech bombs

Guardian dragon of the Empire, back of Calamity.

I rode with Ange on that back and flew through the sky to move.

A village in Father's territory has been consulting on taxes because of the lack of work, so I'm in the process of hearing more about it there.

Alec, I'm holding off on the cup, and I think we need to crush the anxiety element in the realm.

"Wow... Awesome view..."

"Ange really likes the view from the sky."

"Yes! It's so big, spacious, uh... spacious..."

Ange was desperately trying to squeeze the words that existed in her.

Wordless, but I feel like that's what you really like the other way around.

"Ah, we're going to get there already..."

Huh, Ange was a little discouraged.

There is a village where people live at the end of their gaze.

Rural surrounded by fields around, this time a destination.

A village on the edge of the Duke of Carlisle territory, away from Carlisle's mansion.

That I saw it means that the empty journey is over too.

"Ange."

"Yes, Master Alec?

"Why don't we stop by for a little while before we go home"

"- Yes! Dear Alec!

Ange nodded with great pleasure.

That adorable smile, when I look at it, makes me want to do a lot of things for you.

Sometimes I have memories of a previous life, an old man with a mental age of several decades?

My feelings for Ange are still close to those of my father and daughter.

Well, if that's the case, I just want to run errands.

"Calamity"

"I understand."

Calamity slowly dropped altitude and landed in the countryside of his destination.

entrance to the village, where there was already someone waiting.

"Waiting for you, Master Alexander"

"You're in charge here?

"Yes, I'm Farmer, the village chief"

A man named Farmer is nearly 40 middle-aged.

My body, which I have worked out naturally in farming, is disappointed and has a reliable figure.

"Yeah, it's quick and bad, but I was wondering if you could show me to the field"

"Take the field...?

"I'd like to see how it's actually not working."

"Okay, here it is"

That's what Farmer said, and he took the lead in trying to guide us.

"Is that it? Isn't that you?

I pointed to a field on the other side.

"That's Count Miller's territory."

"Really? Oh, this is Carlisle territory."

"Yes, at the border between the Duke and the Count."

"It is... it's so stuck"

Convinced, I followed the farmer.

When I came to the field with his guidance, I saw that there was almost no crop and that it was dying.

"That's terrible...... Is the land decent?

"Yes, thanks to Alexander, fertilizers are given without shortages"

Techniques using magic tool bags in reverse.

If someone with strong magic had it, what they were storing wouldn't rot over time, but if someone with low magic had it, on the contrary, they used it to rot quickly, handing out the bags for each rural area.

Thanks to this, fertilizer production is stable in Carlisle territory - the harvest can also be stabilized.

I've been to this village once, and I'm giving you a bag then.

To the evidence that it was working, I was able to make sure the soil was decent when I crouched.

"Then why is the crop like this?

"Weather."

Farmer gave a scuffed look at the bitter bug.

"The weather has changed too much this year, and the temperature has not stabilized at all."

"So this is what happened."

"Jijibaba in the village - old people say next year's weather too..."

"No?

"You think it's because the cocker birds aren't coming back"

"Hmm."

As I nodded, I asked the stone of the wise man, who kept his skin intact.

Cocker bird, an ordinary bird the size of which is there, but because of its weak body, it has long been known to live in a "climate stable land," and seems to be a valuable beneficial bird among farmers that occupies the weather of the year.

I see.

"That's tough."

"So... Dear Alexander!

"Wow."

Farmer suddenly sat down on me and Ange panicked as she was quiet next door.

"Please, this year's tax -"

"I don't mind being grounded."

"Graduate!

How stuck with cutting feathers, Farmer keeps his head rubbed to the ground and doesn't try to raise it.

"Let's do something about the situation better than that"

"Huh?"

"What exactly wasn't good about the weather?

"What is it?

Stay on your knees and look up at me for a minute.

"Temperature or rain?

"Temperature...... but"

"I see."

Has this happened because the temperature has changed over time?

I thought for a moment and, as usual, asked the stone of the wise man for knowledge.

The stone of a wise man of all knowledge, who immediately answered the knowledge I had sought.

"... yeah, just stay away. And Ange."

"Duh, what do you mean?

"Leave it to Master Alec and you'll be fine."

Ange looked adorable, encouraged Farmer, and walked away from me with him.

Look around, check the fields.

Check the range properly, then use magic.

The magic formation spread from his feet, and then something like a thin membrane domed, covering the field.

I picked up a clump of dirt and threw it against a tense membrane over my head.

The physical membrane played a mass of soil.

"Yeah, that's good"

"Ko, what's this?

"This is - Ange might know. See, the rose garden of the mansion"

"Is this a glass room where your mother loves, grows roses?

"Yeah, that. It's been warm all year."

"Yes. Oh, you're with that."

"That sort of thing"

"... you know what?"

Farmer was stunned.

"I've heard of it, the only glass room in the nobleman's mansion... it's definitely called a greenhouse..."

"Yeah."

Glass is valuable.

It's expensive enough to have a house that doesn't use glass in the first place if you're a civilian.

The greenhouse that put it on the whole building is a luxury only allowed by the nobility.

But there's something involved in agriculture.

Few glasses were used in the village I just saw, but I think I know the existence of a greenhouse where plants grow steadily.

"Here, this is..."

"This will keep the temperature stable, the crop will grow steadily."

"Yes!

Farmer looked happy, eyes like he saw the Savior.

Shit. The only reaction he thinks is the temperature.

"All right, let's put it up all over the village fields. Show me."

"... thanks! Thanks!!

Farmer kept his knees down and bowed his head to me over and over again.

Guided by that farmer, he enchanted all the fields of the village and turned them into an open-air but actually magical greenhouse.

When you do it all the way and come back to the first field.

"Oh... it's getting really warm"

Farmer to admire.

The temperatures in the first field to turn into a greenhouse rose quickly.

"I knew it was amazing, Master Alexander."

"Yeah. Is this all the fields?

"Yes! Thank you so much!

"You're welcome."

Now one thing settles down, and I turn to Ange.

"Go back, Ange."

"Yes!"

To continue the empty date I had promised, I took Ange's hand and went back to the village with him.

They keep the village waiting for Calamity.

When he returned to the village, a group of villagers waited by the calamity.

When the villagers looked at me, all of a sudden they were all grounded.

"Duh, what's wrong?

"You guys..."

"Farmer, what's going on? Make them stop. I don't want to thank you anymore."

"That's..."

"You're the village chief, aren't you?

"That's right... they're the ones from the next village"

"Neighbor... Ah, Count Miller's"

"Yes... so not the people in our village"

Farmer makes a difficult face saying he won't listen to the village chief's orders.

I ordered him to stop because he's the village chief, but can't he do that in another village in the first place?

No, more than that.

"What's really going on? Why all of a sudden"

"Dear Alexander!

Of the men who were grounded, one of the men in the middle looked up and stared at me.

"I've been looking at you."

"Over here... about the greenhouse?

"I've been thinking about it since I was a bag. We..."

Once the men cut the words there, the other villagers raised their faces simultaneously, uniting their voices.

"" "All this time, I wanted to be a people of Master Alexander!!

"... mine?

"Please! Please put us in Carlisle territory!

The people in the neighbouring village stared at me with a very strong eye.

In other words... do you want to enter the Duke of Carlisle with the Earl of Miller?

"Wow, I've never seen a territorial change cut out of a villager. Amazing."

Ange gets a little awkward.

I've never heard that before, too, and I'm a lot surprised.
