The 10000 silver coins received from demon king were more useful than expected.
At first, I prepared the lodging of werewolf troops and inujin troops.When I issued an ordinance via Airia that I wanted to buy old houses and inns, all the private houses and inns in the neighborhood of viceroyâs mansion, applied together .âNow, because this mansion is the base of demon army , there are many wealthy people who are thinking of changing residence.âAiria had a bitter smile, but it was certainly like that.âIf possible, isnât it better for you to move to a peaceful place quickly?ââBecause I am the viceroy, I canât go. I have to make sure that you people will protect the citizens.âShe was a persistently honest woman.
I bought the selected properties at more than the market price, so that no one could complain later on. With this, the inujin troops, also, could come inside the city.âVaito-sama, thank you very much!ââIt is a splendid house! Hey, there are silver coins!ââThat is the price of house! Donât use it as you please!âAfter somehow distributing the lodging house among the inujins in high spirits, I was finally able to close the castle gates. Leaving it like that is too careless.
The appearance of skeleton soldiers were too scary, so I deployed them altogether in the forest outside.If the Mirarudia alliance army would come, then it would be from north side. But as there is no forest on north side, inevitably they would hide in the forest on the west side. It was the forest in which we hid during invasion.With this, nothing beside the castle walls would be visible to anyone looking from afar.They would neither produce smoke from cooking, nor wander around to relax. Until there is an order, they would have to continue to standby in the forest.
The total silver coins paid as price of houses are about 3000. Either way that much money is required to reasonably accommodate around 250 people.Next is food expenses. In this world, the daily income for the common jobs is around one to two silver coins. With that much one can survive.\n
I have requested former general storekeeper, Meari-baasan of the werewolf troops, for accounting, butâŚ.âBecause everyone eats well nee~, I will use around 300 coins per day nee~.ââThat much!âBy my calculations, in another twenty days, the warfunds will be almost exhausted.Gotta do something fast.
âThose who donât work, donât get to eat!âIn front of the 200 inujin troops, I shouted,âAs soon as the drainage system reinforcement is finished, you all will do the farmwork!âI plan to stay in Ryun Height for a long term. If it is like this, food expenses will have to be earned by ourselves.âTo cover the army provisions, is an important military service. There might be some dissatisfaction, butâŚâThe eyes of inujins are shining brightly.One among them, opened his mouth coyly.âVaito-sama, leave it to us. That military duty, we will accomplish it splendidly!ââOh, is that soâŚ..you seem awfully eagerâThen, they all replied in unison,âWe love digging holes!âReally. so, Basically they are all dogs.
We are the rulers, but at the same time, we are also freeloaders. In any case, robbery should not be done.If the Mirarudia alliance army comes while we are in a situation being blamed by majority of citizens, with a revolt from both inside and outside, the defense would be impossible.But, just making sure that we are not being hated, is not enough.Even more service is needed.\nâShould we eliminate the thieves?âGani older brother growled with dissatisfaction, but I donât care.âSince the palace guards will not cooperate, catching the thieves is our job. It is fine to beat up as long as you donât kill.ââVaito says difficult things naa~âŚ.âGani younger brother complained, but I didnât pay any attention.âIf it is said that the city fell into ruins because the demon army invaded, then it will be a disgrace to us. Work hard, so that it would be said because of the demon army came, living became easier. I will let you eat meat accordingly.ââAlrighty, letâs do it!âThose guys are easy to handle.
After that few days were busy like anything.Since the town was captured suddenly, many travelers got locked in the city. In addition, the radiant believers have their pilgrimage duty.They want to leave the town, but since they know about the surprise attack by werewolves, it is impossible to let them go.Because it is inevitable, I put out an ordinance,âNow, because there is a ferocious demon of the demon army loitering around, it is dangerous outside. As I guarantee your lives,so for the time being, donât go outside .âRegarding the pilgrimage duty of Radiant believers, an ordinance of wartime amnesty was passed with joint signature of viceroy Airia and priest Yuhito.
Besides law reforms and negotiations with trade association etc., there were many things to be done, but because I have the viceroy and leaders of faiths coaxed together, somehow I was able to cut through.In the human society, many things can not be done with fangs and claws.However, thanks to that, Ryun Height regained daily life, a little by little. Because the trade is stopped, there is no liveliness, but that also needs a little patience.
âVaito-sama, there is a report from castle gate guards! A group is approaching from south gate!âThe messenger of inujin troops rushed in, while sticking out his tongue from being out of breath, and reported.I stopped my hand signing the documents, and asked him who looked like a shiba dog.(T/N: Shiba is a breed of japanese dog.) \nSometimes it feels like I am forgetting.
