The Listella farm we took over had 103 elves and 103 collar screws. There are four horses and one carriage, and eight cows and lots of hens for all kinds of farming tools. In a slight (jar) field and a pond, fish kept there. After that, large quantities of grapes and olive trees were all property.

The truth is that there were four other horses and two carriages, but on the departure of the employees, I gave them as a means of mobility.

They weren't completely self-sufficient, but a life close to it was run. That's 10 for 6 million astr a year. Operating costs are painful, too...

The farm is quite large and stretches out beyond sight of the edges.

It is difficult to gather the elves that are scattered widely there, so the search for people decides to wait until the evening when they return from work and start by improving their diet by way of example.

It seems that the dried grape and olive squeeze stored in the warehouse was the meal of the elves, but they decided to turn it to the cattle and horse feed and make dinner with the food they brought and the vegetables in the field.

Unlike the mines, the elves here seem to have been fed just enough meals anyway, so it's a normal meal from the start.

While my sister and I were preparing our meals, I hear Mr. Cecil and the others are working on running the farm.

The escorts I hired on the tread are giving me a look around the farm.

That's how when the sun leans west, the elves come together in triplets. To get a meal and a collar screw wrapped around it.

Unlike the mines, the elves here are not extremely skinny, and the sick seem to be.

The clothes were worn out or the hair looked dusty (dusty), but they weren't in an extremely bad environment.

A former employee told me, 'When you wrap a collar screw around, put one in a private room at a time and do it for two or more people. Because there's the one who tries to get away with taking the screws,' but this means a lot of elves from the woods, right?

The elves from the ranch that I had seen before seemed to have no idea of running away, and the pharmacist said that he could not live even if he ran away.

Many of the elves here have been around for a long time on a decades-by-decade basis, so if the proportion of elves captured is as high as in old times and the more recently farmed elves, maybe a little bit.

With my expectations in mind, I sifted through my sister's delicious wheat risotto rather than the usual grape and olive squeeze to the assembled elves.

Mr. Cecil and the two of his servants are bringing dishes, but they are eating the same dishes in a delicious way.

Everyone with the elves seems fine enough to eat the same thing. Some thanks to my sister's delicious food, though.

By the way, I felt disgusted by the escorts, so I delivered them separately and had them eaten away.

This one is also very popular and has a really high nose as a brother. I'm not great, though.

At the end of Mr. Elves' meal, I raise my voice to serve my original purpose.

"Is there any elves from the woods in this -?

... I tried shouting three times because there was no response, but it was completely unresponsive.

For a moment, I said, "Oh, my God, are you dead? 'I had a bad feeling I ran, but according to where Rhina came by and told me, she was very alert.

Well, then let's change the way.

That's why we move on to the task of calling one person at a time into a private room and wrapping the collar screws around it.

She screamed on her desk and said, 'The fruit of the tow is delicious, isn't it? Lynne, put down a piece of paper that says' Lucrea '.

Mr. Elf from the woods can read and write, so anyone who can read will run his eyes, and if he knows Lynne and the pharmacist, he'll react to something. Ask Rhina to observe it.

It is not impossible to appraise all 103 people, but it will take more than 20 days, so I will go this way.

Did the elves get beaten up? The number on the collar came into the room one by one, in order from the number one. The screws are also tagged with numbers, so it's just an easy task to get them in order.

... It took nearly an hour to finish winding the 103 screws and I hear the results from Rhina, who was taking notes.

"Ten people, 18, 19, 21, 22, 38, 39, 40, 56, 70, 79, followed the letters with their eyes. One of the people who clearly showed upset was the one who tagged number 70"

I barely noticed, but that's Mr. Rhina. I mean, I was there, it would be amazing if it were all Mr. Elf from the woods.

By the way, there were several missing numbers, up to 109 for 103 people. People with missing numbers... I guess that's what this is all about. Even if it's not as harsh an environment as a mine, it's only a slave.

I'll go get Mr. Elf at number 70, quickly.

The Elves' room was one big room for about 20 people, and it was like an animal hut where they lay on top of a haystack and slept in it.

For once there are roofs and walls, but they are torn everywhere and the wind comes in. It's summer now, but you need to fix this before winter.

With that in mind, as the other elves turn their gaze to include fright and vigilance, they take Mr. 70 out and bring him to the room.

In the meantime, I'll take an appraisal.

Oh, it's definitely Mr. Elf from the woods! I'm the only one who gets tense by accident, but I talk under the guise of calm.

"I'm the new owner of this farm, Yoichi. This is my sister's scented weave, and over there is Mr. Rhina. Some other people actually run this farm, so I'll introduce you later. What is your (your) name?

For now, a stereotypical introduction. I'm tense, but on the contrary, Mr. Elf replies in a whisper with a distrust full of eyes.

"... number 70..."

Whoa, you were called by the number. Though it's more common as an elf treatment in this world.

"It's not, it's a real name. What did they call you in the woods?

"... was called Hilse..."

Oh, speaking of which, I forgot to ask you for your name from Lynne. But maybe for sure, right?

"Mr. Hilse. Lynne, do you remember the name Lucrea?

"- I don't know..."

Oh, my eyes are swimming as much as I want. You're honest with this guy.

"Actually, I've been depositing letters from those two. Maybe it's for you."

That's what I say, I'll give Lynne and the pharmacist the letter they wrote.

Ms. Hilse received the letter with her eyes open to surprise and opened the seal and began reading.

... I haven't checked the contents, but it doesn't say anything bad, does it? Whatever Lynne is, the pharmacist is a little worried. I think it's okay because it's about my people...

Mr. Hilse reads the pharmacist's letter so he can eat in, looks up several times to check on me, and reads Lynne's letter.

After reading twice with no tears in his eyes, he holds the letter to his chest looking important and slowly raises his face.

"Uh... there's a beneficiary, isn't there?

"... Yes"

"That was good. Letter, what did it say?

"This man is on the Elf's side, so he told me to do as I was told locally. And I need you to come home with me..."

Oh, he wrote it right. I'm sorry I doubted you, doctor.

"The content, can you believe it?

"Yes. It also said a story that only the two of us knew, and I don't see any signs of being threatened and forced to write. There is no reason to doubt this letter."

'What makes you doubt this letter' …. Does that mean you don't trust me yet? I don't think I can do it either.

"We now ask you to cooperate in reforming the operation of this farm. I'll stay here for a while, but I'll be back with Lynne and the others, so be ready."

"... I understand"

Well, my personal credibility will have to be earned from now on. At least the first impression shouldn't be bad.

Well, we'll be busy tomorrow......
