Though thereâs break in between, the meeting continues .
ăFarming is minimal in Village Five but we were able to secure farmland now . Full-scale farming is expected to begin next year . This year will be dedicated in making farmland . ă
Normal course of action .
Thereâs no problem with that .
No, there is a problem .
The self-sufficiency of Village Five is considerably low .
It has to procure food outside so the Goroun Company needs to deal with that .
Since it is a food situation, I want to improve it immediately, but there is nothing I can do about it .
Making farmable land is important .
⊠. . How about using dungeon potatoes?
After it withers, wonât it become good fertilizer?
Oh, youâre already doing it .
My apologies .
ăLivestock raising of cows, sheeps, goats, pigs, and chickens have started in full scale . Though thereâs no problem with breeding, it will still take several years before it is supplied to Village Five . ă
This is also natural .
They are living things .
ăFor the time being, we plan to cover it by purchasing outside in addition to the meat of monsters and demon beasts the adventurers have hunted . ă
Purchasing outside⊠. even in this, we have to burden Goroun Company .
Iâm sorry .
I said my apologies but Michael-san said itâs alright since they are making money from it .
Thank you .
Now, whatâs the problem with the adventurers?
ăThere are no longer any monsters or demon beasts near Village Five . It is all according to plan-desu . Now, they are hunting in a place in the north which is six hours from here . ă
They are bringing meat from there?
ăNo, we have set up a temporary purchasing office there . We are trying to secure the quantity of meat needed by Village Five by dismantling them there before transporting it here . The adventurers are asking us to build a restaurant, a tavern, and an inn near the temporary purchasing office . ă
I donât know about that temporary purchasing office but I know what the adventurers want . I heard that they demand a place where they can safely eat and stay in the forest .
I heard that from Gulf, Daga, and Pirika .
For the time being, the solution I thought of is a camping coach .
It is impossible to pack a restaurant, a tavern, and an inn in one, we divided them .
In order to decrease the number of horses, we downsize them .
Cooking carriage is an equipped cooking facility .
The following food carriage and water carriage can be used as dining rooms .
A tavern carriage that mainly sells alcohol .
The carriage is not where the customers would drink . It is especially designed to make sure that no alcohol will fall .
If you want to drink, donât do it inside the carriage .
And last one, a private carriage equipped with bed where two people can stay .
One wonât be enough so we prepared ten of them .
I understand that it still wonât be enough given the number of adventurers but we canât afford to prepare a lot .
For everyone else, a carriage full of camping tents and equipment for camp is prepared .
Thereâs also a shower carriage where they could take shower .
Please make do with these .
Water and food wagon is necessary so we prepared 20 of them in total .
We managed to prepare them all .
The mountain elves worked hard .
It will be embarrassing if it became problematic when used in a forest with monsters and demon beasts . Because of that, we are experimenting on it at Village Five .
Gulf, Daga, Pirika, and Pirikaâs fellow disciples will give their impressions later .
After making improvements based on their impressions, we will officially adopt it .
With this, we will be of help even a little to the adventurers who are getting rid of monsters and demon beasts . We are thankful for it and also for securing meat .
However, in terms of food security, we can only rely on Goroun Company .
This is a freshly made village so it canât be helped .
Come to think of it, is it really okay?
ăWhat is it?ă
Michael-san answers my doubt .
Other areas may have had food shortages not too long ago .
Hou, one of the demon kingâs kingdomâs four heavenly kings, carried out farmland remodeling using dungeon potatoes in various places that saved those areas with food shortage .
But, they just got out of food shortage, wonât they be reluctant to sell?
Wonât the price be too steep?
ăThatâs not true . Farm villages and merchants who saw the effect of dungeon potatoes are worried that the price would crumble after this yearâs harvest . They are already selling them now . ă
So thatâs how it is .
Even if the harvest is good, not everyone is happy .

Thought-provoking .
ăWell, the demon kingâs kingdom is also moving so that the price wonât crumble . ă
Beezel nods to Michael-sanâs glance .
ăRandanâs stomach is probably aching already . ă
Hahaha .
Iâll be nice to Randan next time I see him .
âŠâŠ
But now that this happens⊠.
Wonât Big Tree Villageâs crops value decrease?
ăNo no . The value of high-grade ingredients will still be high . People who can afford it are even competing for it . I still look forward in working with you again this year . ă
Michael-san continues asking me to absolutely not decrease our production .
ăYou may even increase it . Iâll buy it all . ă
Iâll think about it .
ăLetâs continue . Regarding diplomatic aspect⊠. the two elves . ă
Tree king and bow king stand at the same time and bow toward me .
ăPlease let me report . Iâm in charge of the west side of Village Five . All seventeen elf villages scattered throughout the west have taken a written oath . There were some battles but we crushed them . Six people were injured but no one died . ă
ăIâm in charge of the east side of Village Five . Twenty-two elf villages throughout the east made a written oath to obey Village Five . No battles have occurred there . As for the reason why, the dwarf Juano-shi has contacted them in advance . ă
⊠. .
Areh?
Weâre talking about diplomacy, right?
Why is there a written oath?
And why am I the only one who thinks something is wrong?
When I looked at Youko next to me, she nodded and confirmed what they said .
ăBoth of you did well . By the way, do you know any other place with hostile elves?ă
⊠.
Youko, no .
Thatâs not what I meant .
Diplomacy is all about trying to get along, isnât it?
The elves canât negotiate unless they know whoâs in the upper or lower part of the hierarchy?
Basically, making the other party below you⊠.
After hearing Youkoâs explanation, I looked at tree king and bow king .

ăIâm embarrassed to say but itâs true . ă
ăAs long as they know their place, theyâll be obedient . ă
âŠâŠ
If you think about it, is that the reason why the high elves are following Ria?
Looks like it .
ăAnd the places where there might be hostile?ă
ăYes . They are far from here so I think there will be no problem but there is the famous spear king of Gigu Forest, wind king of Gau forest, and there is also a force that calls themselves as elf empire . ă
⊠. . elf empire?
ăThey are not on this continent but it is a country of elves located on an island . Iâm sorry but I donât know anything else . ă
Beezel continues for the tree king .
ăIt is a large island located about 15 to 20 days of ship travel in the southwest direction of Shashaato City . I hear that there are about 5000 elves living there . It is not under the influence of the demon kingâs kingdom . They are independent and donât really get involved with the outside world . ă
If they donât want to get involved with the outside world then letâs leave it alone .
Yeah, thereâs no need to prepare a warship .
We wonât invade them .
What about the other two places?
âŠâŠ northeast of Howling Village .
I see .
Thatâs certainly far .
Leave it alone too .
âŠâŠ
Areh?
Isnât that the place where the undead came from before?
âŠâŠ . .
Is it related?
Or is it not?
âŠâŠ
Letâs ask ancestor-san next time .
ăLast but not the least, some requests from the residents of the village . ă
Letâs hear it .
ăBecause it is developing too much, there is a desire to call it a city and not a village . This is also the comments of travelers and merchants who came to the village . They said they were deceived . ă
I didnât mean to deceive you .

Village Five is only a temporary name but it was then adopted .
It is unexpected that the village has grown to the size of a city .
Well, if there are problems, letâs change it .
We can change it to City Five but it is not necessary to focus on five .
If you have any idea of a city name, letâs hear it .
⊠. .
Yeah, no one said anything .
Ah, Youko raised her hand .
Please .
ăWe had talked about it in the village council before⊠. âHiraku Cityâ was popular . Are you fine with it?ă
Rejected .
As expected, I find it embarrassing to have a city named after me .
If Youko is okay with it, how about naming this place Youko City .
âŠâŠ
Sounds good .
If youâre not against⊠.
Iâm more important⊠.
ăAno, if we change Village Fiveâs name, weâll have to rewrite all the oaths⊠. ă
That was the opinion of both tree king and bow king .
ăPaperwork will increase like a mountain too . ă
Thatâs the opinion of the civil servant girls .
Iâm a man who plays safe .
ăThe summit will be Village Five while the sides and the base of the mountain is City Five . ă
To outsiders, Village Five will be the place where government affairs are handled .
ăMake sure to publicize it . ă

With this, there wonât be any problem .
Thatâs what I hope .
After that, the meeting continued for some reason .
