Jerry summoned people to clear his body.
The middle-aged men who were called in were surprised to see the corpse, and even more surprised to see me.
Still, without saying anything extra, she silently cleared the body and walked away, following Jerry's orders.
Who are those people now?
As expected of you, my lord.
Hmm?
Those are the people who were saved by my master with me that day.
Yeah.
I see, then you can look at me and nod in surprise.
"That's why you can't betray your master like the dung beetle you are today."
Well then---and let me ask you one more thing.
Heh-heh.
After the defeat of the Imperial Army, what were you doing here?
I asked Jerry about it.
In the first place, Eiler Noof betrayed the Empire's regular army and suffered a great defeat.
That led to my conspiracy.
Of course, I have received the report, but I would also like to hear the direct voice of the people on the ground.
The other day, the pantry was on fire, and I listened.
This is one of Jerry's errands.
"Hey! Can I have a sloppy one?" Or should I explain it in more detail? "
"Hahaha, what happens if it's rough?"
"If you're always skirmishing around the street, the dung beetles will betray you, and then you'll be bought time."
I see, that's a lot.
I nodded and broke my face.
"The pantry is also on the stretch of the time."
Heh-heh.
“Why I've succeeded in gaining time, and how I see it.”
That's my master's majesty--
"Don't talk about those hands."
"--Hello"
Jerry nodded and blushed.
You're ashamed that I stopped you.
"For... two reasons, no one--no, two reasons?"
"Isn't it cluttered?" All right, tell me everything. "
"Hey. The people on the other side of the land hate me, and they like me. One of them."
Is that going to change a lot?
Usually not that much, but there's another reason -- if you join the Imperial Army, it's going to change a lot.
"... I see, the King's Way can't be walked without the cooperation of the people."
As expected, my lord.
I nodded tinyly.
If you're just a barbarian or a rebel, you can do it at will.
But Eiler called himself the Emperor.
It was only natural to rule as an emperor.
And the reign requires the help of the people - if we are to be more open, we need to buy the people's cheerfulness.
It's like the people are tied up by both hands and legs at a time when they are cooperating with the hostile forces (Jerry), even though they call themselves the Emperor.
"... Jerry"
Heh-heh.
"If the Empire recovers from its loss, keep the rumors coming that it will be exempt from tax for a year."
"That's fine, but... do you really want to do it?"
Yeah.
"Why are you okay? Well... in a technical sense"
Jerry made a classic gesture of making a ring with his thumb and index finger.
"No problem. If you tear up Eiler, you can confiscate his assets."
”That's true... but isn't it normal to use that as a reward for fighting?”
"This time, I have more." If I give you a distinguished battle skill, you can suppress it. "
"Hah... ahhh! Could it be that the lord is playing the lantern right now?"
It's the flow. It's my first time in the Parental Expedition, so I was going to take the battle for the future, but I just came up with the money.
I see, my lord!
Jerry was impressed again.
"Now, it's time for me to die... how about the mule?"
I remembered and heard that sudden assassination made me forget to ask.
"Oh, hey! I'm getting ready outside. It's now shaped like a narrow carriage.”
"All right."
I was with Jerry, in front of the cage where the mule was trapped, facing out from the back of the garden.
Outside, on a winding road, a carriage was waiting, as Jerry had said.
The carriage was subtly shaking and uneasy.
I wondered if the mule was uneasy inside.
Well then, I--
"Ahh! There it is! Hey!"
Yeah?
Along with a loud voice that interrupted my thoughts, I heard the footsteps of someone rushing towards me.
Turning around, a stranger's face turned towards me.
It was Luke, the boy priest.
Luke was coming this way in a sweat.
The people of the city wondered a little bit about the boy running around in a dirty travel dress, but most people said, "What?" I just saw the expression on my face once, and I continued to do each routine.
Luke keeps coming up to me.
"Great, I was here."
Luke put his hand on his lap in front of me, cutting off his breath and saying such a thing.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh..."
"On the streets, don't do that."
"Eh! Yes! Eh... then, Master?"
Umu
To paraphrase Luke, I nodded.
"What are you doing here?"
"Yes! This is not a letter from your parent, but from Master Henry."
"Show me."
Yes!
Luke carefully stabbed the envelope out of his pocket.
I take it, cut the seal, take out the contents, and look through it.
"Hmm, okay."
After reading the concise text to the end, I was nostalgic for it.
What's the matter?
"Don't worry, the situation has not changed." Eiler has moved to the city of Kakarka. "
Kakarka, we're almost there.
It seems that the visit to the mausoleum ended with a visit.
I see.
"I'll head there." I want to see Eiler's face once and for all. "
"Ease of escort"
“No, sometimes I go to Eiler's bedroom to hear his story, so I go home with a lot of people in my way.”
"I see... I understand."
"Luke, you follow me."
Yes, yes!
"Jerry. Prepare (,,)"
Hey!
With the power of Fuwa, I made the sigil again and showed it to Jerry, then I took Luke and jumped on the carriage with the mule on it and pulled out of the city.
I'm sitting side by side with Luke on a carriage stand.
Luke, the boy, still hasn't got the skills to run a carriage, so I'm in charge.
The horse-drawn carriage went down the road, into Eiler's sphere of influence.
Although Eiler's sphere of influence, Eiler was originally the royal family of the Empire, that is, this was also the territory of the Empire.
If Jerry hadn't taught me, I wouldn't have changed so much as to know the boundaries of the sphere of influence.
Along the way, Luke was anxious about the presence and signs of the mule in the carriage.
"Ah, um..."
What?
"Oh, you really don't bite...?"
"It's okay...... mule"
Miki?
”Haa!”
The called mule rolled her face and Luke was surprised enough to turn it over.
"Did you call Master?" "" The mule with the look of hostility, evilness, and such things had a face that could not be felt at all.
"Lick him like a loser."
Mikkaku!
At my command, Mule stepped forward and licked Luke's face.
Luke flipped and almost fell off the carriage, grabbing his arm and pulling it back.
"How did it go? Was it okay?"
”Y-Yes... amazing, Master, how long have you been working on such a scary monster?”
"Just now."
”Hah... amazing...”
Luke was impressed and looked alternately at the mule who had grown up once the order was gone, and at my face, who would use it as he pleased.
"... um"
Suddenly, I found something that bothered me about the surrounding scenery.
"What's the matter, Master?"
……
I stopped the carriage silently, jumped off the bridge, and headed for what I had found.
Luke got out of the stands in a hurry, feeling quite surprised, and followed me.
I stood in front of a sparse tree at the entrance to a small forest.
Then she touched a tree gently and looked around the whole forest.
"What's the matter, Master?"
Luke asks again.
I turned around and looked at Luke, then I jerked my chin and made him look towards the forest.
"Hayashi... is that it?"
Oh, the skins of the trees are peeling, right?
"Huh? Oh, it's true. What is this?"
"I ate it."
"Have you eaten...?"
"Is it a nearby countryside or something? If we don't run out of food, it won't be like this."
Um, Master?
Hmm?
"Can you eat the skin of a tree...?"
"It's going to be an emergency diet. I don't want to starve to death."
“How do you eat it?”
Hmmm.
I pulled the old knowledge out of my head.
"You can't eat it raw first." If you want something to eat raw, you'll die from hunger. "
Oh, that's right.
"Put on the bark, scrape off the parts of the table, and leave behind the parts inside that look fresh."
Yes.
"Burn it, boil it, and cook it." If you slice it thinly and light it on fire with the shredded one, you can use it without waste. "
"Hah... you can do that..."
"If you treat the soil, you can eat it."
"Huh!?"
Well, that's only good enough to keep me from dying.
”I see... amazing, Master, I can't believe you're doing that.”
I smiled. [M]
I looked at the forest again.
It's a sight often seen in famine and so on.
This sight of people running out of things to eat and eating up to the bark.
Flood damage (,,) can happen like this.
Most disasters leave the people to bite through the bark, but not only locust damage.
The locusts bite all the way to the bark, so there's only soil left.
When I remembered the old days, I was a little twilight.
"Ah, Master!?"
"Yeah? What's wrong?"
“There's a village over there. Are they the ones who ate this?"
I saw where Luke was pointing.
Sure enough, I can see something that looks like a rural area.
I thought about it a little bit.
There is no disaster, there is war.
I don't know if it was the war, but... how did this happen?
I wanted to know that, so I took Luke and made him turn the carriage towards the village.
