Level 99 First Territorial Management by Adventurers

"Yut, that's good next time, meat. Pork."

"Eat the salted fish in your hand before you eat it."

After noon of that day.

Yut and Yona were in the middle of a stopover when they returned to Hardenturm to coincide with the council meeting.

Looking around at the stalls that connect houses to markets, arguably the heart of Hardenturm, they eat skewers, fried fish, and fruits and drinks at will. Even now, with so much meat and shellfish skewers in my hands that I can't hold them in my hands.

It's like having a handy sister.

From Yut, who was my only child, that is a pleasant experience.

"You have no choice. Just one."

The response was also sweetened.

"Uhm. The flavour of meat tastes like fat"

Usually expressionless, Yut is also caught smiling at the satisfied voice of an albino girl.

Eating the same thing - a skewer roasted pork belly in a sweet spicy sauce - Yut turned his mind from an unprecedented point of view.

It is difficult in terms of feed to overwinter livestock. For this reason, it was also time for more pork to go out in the winter. In a few moments, processing into dried or salted meat rather than raw meat will be the main factor.

Although we also want to reform this area, we also consulted with Alcia, who had a look down at the villages, but had come to the conclusion that the spread of the wheeled farming method would still be ahead of us.

It would be easy if it were simply introduced, but if the wheeled farming method resulted in an increase in the population, its recipient would be in question. When the wheeled farming method was invented in the UK, the industrial revolution took place as well and the industrial development ensured the place of work. The treatment was terrible.

But typographical printing is also a Brewers that hasn't been invented yet, and I just don't have that long term outlook.

Besides, it's not agriculture, it's commerce now.

"And eat vegetables, and vegetables."

"I don't want it!

"Don't make a strong assertion. Apologize to the sailors who fight leukemia."

"You can drink rum if you want"

"If I let you drink, what would I say to Alcia?"

"It was a precious sacrifice..."

"Cheap, my life"

With such comic talent, he arrived at a five-story building where the council would meet.

Nominally, the headquarters of the Hardenturm Chamber of Commerce.

Essentially, it's the landmark that dominates this city.

The guard guarding the entrance presents the same letter he gave Regina, apart from which Yut gives two or three verbal instructions. It was an act of transcendence, but the content snorted in reply to the content alone, leaving me behind.

For this reason, we enter a splendid building made of stone without guidance. It's grand, but it's actually late.

It can't be more roomy than in Japan or elsewhere because of the time it took to prepare, and because it doesn't have an exact clock, but late would be late.

"Hi, it's late"

At first he was low profile and Yut walked into a rectangular conference room. Silent, Jonah follows.

The meeting room is not that big.

The number of people on the round table would not exceed ten. Still, it's all important people in this city who have their faces together, such as representatives of the Artisan Guild at the Chamber of Commerce meeting, and the head of the Temple of Paris who conducts the deal.

Each one can follow an escort behind his back, but that intimidation goes hand in hand, so much so that he gets a slightly narrower impression.

But Yut left me out.

Even so, he lowered his back to an empty seat at the round table before being recommended. Hi, they only have seats for the official attendees, and it seemed like Jonah had to stand behind Yut.

Look, behind Regina sitting across the street, too, the old man Cesc refrains.

You noticed that gaze, and there was a smile on Regina's neat face that was giving her a hard look. Seeing a blatantly reassuring look, Yut was annoyed by his guilt.

Given her state of mind so far, it would be like being thrown one into the away.

I don't care how much I got beat up, it wasn't if I was buying or eating.

(Well, all the planting is for victory, and you'll be convinced)

I bought and sold such a absolution note by myself, and now let's cut the fire - and I was struck first.

"Only one stranger is a participant in this one. First, I was wondering if you could introduce yourself."

Dignity.

You wouldn't mind saying so. But he doesn't think so himself. You must even feel like it's a snare.

Because it is this Bruno Exdero who holds the strongest power on this occasion.

"I am Yut Amaxa, deputy of the new lord - Istas bervaltrude. I don't mind if you think we're here today to discuss how this city works under the new lord."

In the dark, Yut says so that he sounds like he can pay his taxes properly.

In contrast, it was Bruno Exdero who reacted immediately.

"Unfortunately, I can't do that"

With a humid smile on his sticky, fat face, he makes a humid voice.

I see, toad.

Bruno overlapped words even more against Yuto, who is so impressed.

"As you may have already heard, Hardenturm's port facility has suffered devastating damage. Of course! Of course, it will be your duty to pay taxes, but I believe you can consider the circumstances."

After waving his long and wide tongue, he gently rang his fingers and the guard behind him gratefully placed a brilliant jewellery box in front of Yut.

"I was wondering if I could forgive you for that."

After a glimpse of the gecko and ringing merchant, Yut silently opened his lid.

It was the first ruby that showed up.

That's all it is, a fortune. A year is worth just playing and living.

Seeing the brilliance, they all raised their voices of surprise.

It would have been a surprise if that Bruno had behaved so much.

(Wouldn't you like to redeem this and make it part of the tax? I don't think so, I'm doing this)

To one convinced yuut, Jonah hits an innocent question.

"Yut, is this pretty expensive?

"Right. Wataru"

"Best you've ever had?

"No, I wonder if the gems I used to get from Dwarves were worth about ten times this"

"So this isn't awesome?

"Nothing, I don't mean to take it if it's expensive....... so thank you for showing me the rare gems"

That's how it was built, and Yut refused to receive it.

"And then, when it comes to taxes, it's okay"

"Oh, well..."

"Let's take care of it so we can get paid properly"

"............ what?

"First, the restoration of the ports damaged by the storm. Make this a public utility. I won't ask the city to bear the burden because we'll get the reconstruction money out of us. We will make a bid, so please sift and join us."

Say it like an announcer on the planet and Yut gives you a flirtatious grin.

"Is that eligible?

"Especially. If there are many chambers of commerce with experience in civil engineering, I think it would be better to give priority to performance."

"Rest assured. That's not the case with damage like this one, but we're restoring it to the city."

"That's good"

Yut answers a question from Regina thrown at him as if he had been meeting in advance.

Both Bruno and the other participants were flattered by the shift in that seamless topic.

"Yut, looks super fun"

"Don't call people bad guys."

"Ha, ha, yeah. What about the pirate ships in the harbor? You can't get in and out of a big ship by sinking into the entrance to the harbor, and you can't keep removing it. I'm transporting it on a large number of small ships owned by me, but I can't help it."

"Oh, I'll do something about that."

"Duh, how!

"With a spell"

Yut only answers briefly that he is not willing to explain it any further.

It was late.

Bruno Exdero's decision was all too late. Or was this fate decided when I decided to fang my ex-husband?

"Huh. But either way, there's the cost of fighting pirates. We can't afford to pay taxes on Hardentrum!

There, a modest knock rings.

"That's a good time."

Ignore Bruno and others and approach the door yourself.

"Oh, thank you."

"Ha."

A guard commanded by Yut at the entrance to the building responds in an upright immobilisation.

"We have taken those who were rolled into designated locations"

At the same time, a man tied with a rope enters the three-man conference room.

"Yes, it's a pirate's best friend."

"I caught him alive, he was super annoying"

"... what?

Regina raises a loose voice between them. The beauty is ruined.

But even so, the other merchants, who have already lost their presence for a long time, can't even speak, and we just have to watch the change.

Except for Bruno Exdero.

"Stupid! Absolutely!"

"Oh? I thought you'd be happy."

Yut smiles so well that he sneers his robe and approaches Bruno. Like a snake hunting down its prey.

"I can't show it to Valtrude"

Jonah, stunned by such a yut, has not failed to be vigilant.

Because we know that, it means Yut can hit one play with confidence.

"Or are you frightened that even evidence that you've been hanging out with pirates will come out?

"Stupid!

The proud long and wide tongue also lurks, Bruno having to argue with less vocabulary. His fists are shaking as he shudders, his face is red tide and his toad is boiled frog.

Surprisingly, it was the pirates who were taken who stabbed the stomach.

"Give it up, Mr. Bruno"

"Oh, I totally talked to you."

"They're holding down the paperwork that was in the fort, so don't let them get away with it."

"Kisara...... ugh"

The pirate heads, against Bruno, who was blushing or bluishing in excitement, were sobering.

Until I had a business meeting with Regina in the morning and then returned to Hardenturm after noon. Neither Yut nor Jonah wasted their time.

A "Remote Site" spell that reflects the person's location in a mirror or crystal sphere from information such as the subject's name, hair, and possessions.

So Yut and Jonah, who had already identified their home base, ambushed from above, and the pirates surrendered with these bodies.

Yut showed the pirate ship in the sky under the spell of Gravity Inversion (Anti Grave) when it was bombarded from above in Jonah's Elemental Burst.

No wonder my heart is broken.

"I'm sorry, Regina"

"Yes. What is it?

"This man must be sent to Sejour, the king's capital, for severe punishment. For that reason, I can't let you take revenge."

"What is hate...?

"The pirate your parents attacked. It's also by this man's guide."

"It's wet! Guilty!"

Regina was discovering herself rapidly cooling down as she saw Bruno summon her rabbit.

Amazingly cold, watching Bruno's ugliness.

Teng himself, who this man killed his father and mother and tilted the Chamber of Commerce.

It was a truth I never even thought about, but somehow it fell strangely to my heart. Oh, I thought you did.

But vengeance does not arise.

I just wanted this toad-like man gone as soon as possible.

That seems to have been the same for Yut.

"... it made me sick. Yona, I got it."

"Yeah." Seoul Wip. "

A few whips grew from her back as the Albino girl nodded.

A few transparent, tentacle-like whips were slapped by Bruno and his escort, while collapsing on the spot.

Silence dominates the conference room.

When Jonah finally realized that the silence was to blame for the current act - murder - she said to no one without excuse.

"It's a slap, right?

He seemed to want to say that it was the power that struck the spirit, not the flesh. More than that word, I look at Bruno, who is tingly cramped, and I also perceive things around him.

"No, Valko once killed an assassin with a blow."

"It's okay. I'm not going to do that."

It was a conversation between two people that was not commensurate with the current situation, but it seemed to have had enough effect to accommodate the place.

When the guards took out a taste of Bruno with the pirates, calm and order were finally restored to the conference room.

"So Bruno Exdero himself sends with the pirates to Sejour, the king's capital. Well, it would be a tie. But I leave the handling of the Exdero Chamber of Commerce to the council of Hardenturm"

When this happens, it's Yut's specialty.

"I will compensate you to some extent for the damage done to the pirates. Financial resources are the treasures that came out when you crushed the pirate's home base, so, well, naturally."

It's clerical though.

I will deal with the case in a completely different way than I would with my colleagues.

"By the way, his son doesn't seem to be involved in any evil. Was the child cute to look like such a toad? So I would rather have a peaceful handover to your son than a takeover"

It is not compulsory. Nor is it an order.

But whoever could ignore it was not on this occasion.

"Oh, yeah, yeah. I almost forgot."

At the end of the day I unilaterally proposed a draft tax rate - paying 30% of the profits of each chamber of commerce, not city by city - and tried to take Jonah out of the conference room.

Looking back, I said embarrassingly.

"Do something about the harbor. Somebody give me directions."

It's obvious if you take it for granted, and that's why no one can react.

"If you'll excuse me"

In the end, the concession only lasted to exchange glances until Regina raised her hand.

"Are you glad you didn't stay?

Leaving the Chamber of Commerce building, Yut spoke to Regina walking a few steps back as she went down the road halfway around the harbor.

Nothing, I didn't care that much.

I'm just tired of seeing the streets and watching the unexpectedly unbroken shoreline, and I was just concerned about the silence.

"If you leave it to Cesc, it's fine. Because there are many familiar faces."

"I see. You can thank the council for showing me around."

I didn't mean for Regina to, but she wouldn't believe me for saying that. So I uttered another more important thought.

"Um, more than that, I don't mind saluting you."

"Never mind, Yut is just an acquaintance"

"Oh, don't fall apart."

"Pfft. Again, vegetables are more attractive."

"Well, that's the thing, then"

The sea breeze sweeps through the three of us.

Cold.

But I didn't hate the smell of the sea breeze. Though it awakens my memory when I was on Earth.

"Yut, are you lit?

"Ah too. Think of my majesty."

"I really don't think he's the same person who got Bruno into it."

"No, you're telling me I overdid that too"

"Did you know everything from the beginning?"

Yut answers quietly as he looks at the flying seabirds.

"Oh. I'm an adventurer, so I'm not out of my hands to look down. I was willing to make the most of it - and I had a heart."

"Still, I have known my father's enemies. And he gave that man the punishment no one could have given him."

The words shot through Yut, who was feeling hypocritical.

"Thank you very much."

And then, if you bow deeply, I can't take it anymore.

"Oh, wow."

Yut returned a word that could not even be said as a reply, and moved on once again.

"No more, I shouldn't. I need to report an affair to Val."

"It's not cheating. I mean, that's not what Valko is."

No matter how you look at it, Yut said in a way that makes you feel like it.

It should be noted that the removal of the sinking vessel in question ended only momentarily.

Yut, situated at the edge of the harbor, takes the spell document and throws it into the sea wondering if he tore it down for six pages.

"Tidal"

The page of the spell document depicting the Six Lights star increased its brilliance, and the water level wandered only within its range. It's like being pushed out at the hands of an invisible giant.

The fish escaped and all that remains is the wreckage of a decaying pirate ship. Although not completely blocking the entrance to the harbour, it was certain that the water intake would interfere with the passage of the deep ships.

Towards there, Jonah sticks her fingers out without changing her expression.

"Disintegrator"

Thin, green rays were emitted.

Sooo rays run through the wreckage of the ship as if to draw a line, and at the next moment they disappear without a trace. Literally, the pirate ship disappeared without any dust.

"It's easy to break things."

I did it, Yona. I said it out loud, but Regina, who had witnessed the whole thing, was nothing short of flabbergasted.

Still, Yut remembered relief.

This is what Jonah was really trying to say.

"It's easy to break things, compared to creatures."

Jonah was a yuut whose eyeballs got hot when she grew up.
