Chapter 310

As the cherry blossom falls, I recall that I can also grow plum trees .

Pickled plum, plum wine .

Yeah, I completely forgot .

Even if I plant it now, the harvest will be several years away .

I thought that it would have been better if I had raised it sooner but then, it might be good if I enjoy it after a few years .

Village Five seems to have unexpected guests .

The first group is a group of Korin priests .

I heard that they were important-looking priests .

It was Youko who dealt with them .

They said a lot of things but their main purpose is that they want permission to build a church in Village Five .

Though there is already a church, since I told her that everyone is free to choose and exercise their religion, Youko permitted them to do so .

The problem starts there .

The priests demand the transfer of the Village Five's church, the one that has currently been built, to them instead of building their own .

Youko rejected it .

「There is freedom of religion in our village . If you want to build a church, you can do so . But do that with your own money . 」

The priests got angry because of that and threatened to turn her to Korin religion's enemy .

If it were me, I would have been angry but Youko responded with a smile back then .

「I apologize if I'm being rude . I'm not that familiar with religions . I'm sorry . That's right, about the church . You should talk with the people of the church to solve it . Whatever the result is, I'll accept it with both hands . 」

The priests, who took her words as favoring the transfer of the church, enthusiastically rushed to the church .

What awaits them are the holy maiden Celes and Fushu .

Fushu is there for inspection . She's checking if the priests she recommended are doing well .

I know about it .

She came to Big Tree Village with ancestor-san to say h.e.l.lo .

She was then guided by Celes to Village Five using the teleportation gate .

And yes, Youko knows that Fushu was coming .

She was with the two when they went to Village Five .

I don't know what kind of discussion was held in the church but the priests left Village Five .

They all seemed to be holding their side with painful expressions… . .

「Did Fushu hit them?」

「I swear to G.o.d that I did not hit or did something that can be considered as an a.s.sault to them . 」

She's not lying but why is she so imposing?

Since that is the truth, what exactly happened?

The holy maiden Celes is drinking alcohol with the wine slime .

No way .

Yeah, I'm sure their stomach is only not feeling right .

A divine punishment perhaps .

Let's say that's what happened .

The reason I was able to know the situation in detail is because, during dinner, the civil servant girls and the mercuries Loch and Nana did a reenactment play .

It was pretty good .

I'm glad that the civil servant girls can now afford to do something else .

Recruiting civil officers in Village Five seems to be working well .

It looks like you will be able to take it easy if you can leave them all the work but only in things related to Village Five .

Vitality returns in the eyes of the mercuries Miyo and Futa .

It's great .

It looks like there are various things we need to know about Korin religion .

「Korin religion is an organization that manages the state of religion and not people's beliefs . Korin religion is a collection of religions . 」

Fushu, who is having dinner with me, told me so .

「Your own belief is as important as others . If you agree with that idea, you can call yourself as part of Korin religion no matter what kind of G.o.d you believe in . 」

I remember ancestor-san's explanation before .

「However, Korin religion will not tolerate something like surrendering a church . I already memorize their faces and names . Their future will be dark . 」

Fushu's face is scary .

Ancestor-san, help… . . it seems like he hasn't come back from the hot spring yet .

Is he tired?

The next unexpected guests are a group of dwarves .

There are many dwarves in Village Five but their hair color is clearly different from them .

There are about 30 of them and all of them are wearing high-quality armor .

Youko was the one who dealt with them like the previous one .

The group of dwarves declares that they will meet Youko .

「I heard that this village makes armor using precious magic iron powder . Hand that magic iron powder to us . 」

Magic iron power is a precious mineral collected from the rock part that was attached to the sun castle .

Part of it was made into weapons in Big Tree Village and sold to Village Five .

「Do you hope to purchase?」

「No! Magic iron powder can't be handled by an immature person . Excellent materials should be handed to excellent people . 」

「Hand it over…is that you mean?」

「Yeah」

Youko beat the group of dwarves and hammer them into the prison .

It seems like they were beaten so badly that they can't even talk .

「They were bragging about their weapons so I crushed them one by one in front of them . 」

The scene in which Youko beat the group of dwarves was not reenacted so she explains it while laughing .

Youko will surely be fine but don't do anything crazy .

And… . there was a prison?

「We built one . 」

It seems like the north slope is rarely hit with sunlight .

And there are also a number of minor offenses in Village Five .

Violence, vandalism, threats, extortion… .

Those indeed need to be punished .

There's no one like that in Big Tree Village but there are many people in Village Five .

That kind of crime will inevitably happen .

It's a relief that no serious crimes have occurred yet .

And should I be glad there was a place to throw that group of dwarves to?

Wait a minute, can we just throw them in the prison?

Will there be no problem?

We don't only have the power to levy taxes but enforcement and judicial power too .

「So, when are you going to release them?」

「I want them to stay there for 1000 days but the people of Village Five have eyes too . I think about ten days . With regards to that, may I borrow an inferno wolf or a demon spider?」

「What are you going to do?」

「Nothing . All they have to do is wait in front of the prison as a lookout . 」

I see .

Of course, I won't lend them to you .

What will you do if the kuro or the spiderling have an unpleasant experience in the prison?

In addition, demon king and Beezel have asked not to bring a kuro or a spiderling in Village Five .

If it is not a matter of life and death, I won't give my consent .

「Mou, you're cold . 」

「Do you lack guards?」

「Yeah . In addition, the prison guards are very radical . 」

「Radical?」

「Perhaps they feel too indebted to Village Five . They treat the prisoners harshly . 」

「… . are they going too far?」

「Not yet . However… . . I can't let my guard down since they might caught me off guard . They even think that what they are doing is righteous . 」

「Ah… . . 」

I'm glad that they think Village Five is important but I don't think they should be aggressive to those who don't think so .

「Why don't I speak with those prison guards?」

I was laughed at saying that it was counterproductive .

I don't think that issue is something to be laughed at .

In any case, it seems like the dwarves are reflecting so they might be released earlier .

The third group was a group of elves .

There are 10 of them .

Although they are lightly dressed, all of them are armed . Their representative is a male elf .

Youko dealt with them too .

The story about the elves' party is simple .

Adventurers are exterminating monsters and demon beasts left and right around Village Five .

As a result, monsters and demon beasts move to other places .

Some of the migrating monsters have attacked the elven village .

It seems like they want us to take responsibility .

「I see . I understand what you're trying to say . 」

「Is that so? Then how do you plan to take responsibi… . 」

「Hold on . Before anything else, let me try to confirm something . What evidence do you have to prove that the attack of the monsters in your village is related to Village Five?」

「Evidence?」

「Yes, evidence . 」

「There's no way there's any . 」

「Then, you can't say that our village is the cause . Who knows if it was the effect of something else? Given that, we can't do anything regarding your concern . 」

「Even if there's no evidence, it is clear that the actions of this village have caused trouble to our village!」

「Even though you don't have evidence? That's only your one-sided belief . 」

「b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Do you despise the elven race?」

「What do you mean by despise? Rus.h.i.+ng towards us in a group but can't show any evidence, you'll only get hurt if you continue to live like that . 」

「Let's have a serious match!」

「Start anytime you want, I'll take you on . 」

「… . . do you mean to say that no matter what happen, you won't take responsibility?」

「Given the present situation, you are just making false charges . 」

「It is not a false charge . This village rooted out monsters around it that's why the monsters came to our village . 」

「Yesterday, the chickens of our village did not lay eggs . It is because some group of elves from some village came here arrogantly . Take responsibility . Though I don't have any evidence, it is clearly related to you . Will you apologize to our village?」

「What kind of stupid thing are you saying? That's clearly nonsense . 」

「Really? But that's exactly how your logic works . 」

「Are you making fun of us?」

「No, we are only talking normally . What's the name of the monster that attacked your village?」

「Why ask suddenly?」

「Answer my question, what's the name of the monster that attacked your village?」

「…… . we don't know its name . It's a turtle-like monster that has a big sh.e.l.l . 」

「I see, you don't even know . Is it strong?」

「Strong . 」

「Is it fast?」

「Slow . 」

「What does it eat?」

「Trees . It has eaten several trees that we elves cherish . 」

「How many?」

「One . 」

「I see . Is that the only monster that has attacked your village?」

「Yes . 」

「Have you subjugated it?」

「Y-yes」

「Is that so? Then, it's no longer there . How far is your village from our village? How many days have you spent traveling?」

「Five days」

「Really? I heard it should be seven days . It is faster than I thought . 」

「If you already know the location of our village then don't ask . 」

「I only wanted to hear it from your own lips . After all, those lips were the source of your false charges . If the monster really moved because of us, there's no way there would only be one . In addition, the adventurers are exterminating only carnivorous monsters and demon beasts . If it is a herbivore, they will leave it alone . They won't take a risk just drive a herbivore away . 」

「But…」

「If you have really defeated the monster, sending two or three of you is enough . Now, why did you come here in a group of 10? Are you that free? I don't think so . You were the one who was tasked by your village to defeat the monster . However, you came straight here and made some silly false charges… . . In short, you have not able to beat the monster yet . If you want us to help, kneel . 」

「And boy, learn how to suppress your emotion a little more . If the other party can see your impatience, it will not become a negotiation . 」

「I'm not a boy . Even though I look young, I have lived for 200 years . 」

「Then, be a little smarter . Don't grow old in vain . Maa, that hurts my ear too . 」

After that, the group of elves changed their att.i.tude and officially requested the monster extermination .

So that's what happened .

「They probably wanted to borrow Village Five's strength but don't want to pay any . 」

He made those false charges in hope of Village Five voluntarily subjugating the monster .

It was their mistake when they said that they've defeated it .

They should have come honestly rather than annoy us with false charges .

So, did you send a subjugation force from Village Five?

「The lizardman and the beastman who always come to Village Five took command with pleasure . 」

Ah…Daga and Gulf huh .

「They commanded Pirika and her fellow disciples along with some adventurers . It became a decent force . They probably won't lose . 」

「Probably won't lose? Is the opponent an unknown monster?」

「No, I know it . It is a monster called goo turtle . It has high defensive power but its offensive power is not that much . Though it makes strange attacks, if you are careful, you will be able to deal with it . I've already informed Pirika . 」

「… . You pretended to not know anything to the elves?」

「If I said that I know about it, they'll probably ask us to take care of it for them immediately . 」

Indeed .

「What happened to the elves?」

「Half of them became the guide . As for the other half, I had them go to a certain place as payment . 」

「Payment?」

「Yeah, it is not good to work for free . 」

She asked them to go to the dwarves' hometown to ask them to pick up the dwarves from prison .

I see .

However, the number of unexpected guests continued to grow .

And to my surprise, there were even three groups of unexpected guests that came on a certain day… .

Village Five, it looks like everything will be alright if I entrust it to Youko .

She dealt with them brilliantly .

「During the old times, I used to be something like a ruler . 」

Reliable .

I look forward to your continuous support in the future .

Ah, I'll count on Loch and Nana too .

Hih is… . . since the manpower of Village Five has increased, he's house-sitting .

I'll just send him a message to do his best .
