Shikkaku Kara Hajimeru Nariagari Madō Shidō

Rustinel Territory, en route to the territorial capital.

With the temporary blockade of the mountain road leading to the territorial capital, Arcs accepted the guide's proposal and changed his route.

A short time ago, under the guidance of the guide, diverted from the main east-west road to the sidewalk.

As you walk through the trees, you will eventually see buildings by hand in the distance.

It is a simple barrier with uneven logs, as seen in Western paintings of the man's world.

Because of the appearance reminiscent of a fortress appearing in fantasies and historical objects, I said, "Ooh!"and shouted with surprise.

As you move towards it, there is a row of people and trucks ahead.

Apparently, there are others who have been stopped.

It seemed he was standing in line in front of the gate to get permission to enter the village.

When I looked at the length of the row, I thought it would take a while now, and the conductor turned over his shoulder.

"Shall I go ahead and talk to you?

"No, it's fine if you get into trouble."

The guide will ask you to let me in first, but I want to avoid trouble with people already in line.

Place the horse at the end of the row and gently wait for the order to come.

Looking out of the row and looking at the situation, the front row is crowded.

In front of the gates are young people in the village and grand men who seem to be acquainted.

Perhaps they are looking into whether it is okay to enter the village or not.

All the young people are armed at all times, and the cars are checked for simplicity.

Hee, you do that, too.

"I'm not going to put any strange people in the village, so I'm just checking to see if it's dangerous."

If you talk casually, the conductor will answer.

Because of the journey, it may not be preferable for a village to bring in prohibited items, even if weapons are unavoidable.While passing through the long-handed weapons and bows held by the guard, he often talks about things as if he is interviewing the shipment properly.

Eventually, when the merchants in front had finished entering the village, the conductor got off the horse.

Well, I'll talk to you, so please wait a while.

That said, the guide is mistaken by a group of villagers.

When the conductor raised his hand and greeted him, the villagers flashed their faces.

Probably a familiar face.

The guide exchanges a few words with the villagers and comes back in a small run.

"You sure you're okay?

"Yes, I'm also a village that comes by occasionally, so I got a good response.And then.... "

"What is it?"

When asked, he showed a mysterious expression,

"I don't think it would be rude to say that Mr. Arks is noble."

"... oh, is that so?It's okay. I know. "

The Conductor's man must be afraid of trouble with the villagers.

This is a place where tall people don't appear that way.I don't have any way of knowing how to behave towards nobles, so I want you to take a closer look around.

An elderly man walks out in front of the gate.

"I am the head of this village.There's nothing there, but please relax. "

I'm sorry for the sudden loss.

"I've heard of the situation.It was a disaster when the mountain roads were sealed off. "

"Absolutely. How often do you say that around here?

"Recently, there have been more bandits appearing in the territory, often."

Is it that often?

I saw the faces of Noah, Kazi, and the guide, but they all looked suspicious.

That means something quite unusual.

Should we see a large bandit entering the territory?

While thinking about that, the mayor of the village shows an unfortunate expression.

"Besides..."

When the village chief looked around, he saw the young people struggling to greet him.

I still don't know the manners of the nobles, they are illuminated, and they look bad.

"How are you feeling? We are all countrymen, so I would like to apologize for any irregularities."

"It's okay. You don't have to worry about the area."

"Thank you."

When the village chief thanked him, Noah stepped forward.

"I would like to discuss the money I will pay for my stay."

"Oh! Thank you.No matter how many minutes, it's hard to say what's around..... "

Sure. They must be scared to pay a noble opponent.

Anyway, there are a lot of things to do during your stay.If you don't bring food and a tent to the water, you must have a bed.None of it is free, and if you don't ask for money, the villagers will have to cover it.

The problem was solved, and the village chief (Murasa) and the surrounding young people also had a reassuring expression.

In the meantime, Kazi,

Then why don't you do it with an engraving?

That's what I said.

"Engraving?"

"Oh, I'll carve it into the farming tools.You're easy around here, aren't you?

Well...

I also brought the tools and magic silver I needed for engraving, so I can't help it.

But...

"Is that okay?

"That's not true...."

"Mr. Arcs, engraving is a profession."

When asked, they were stunned.

As far as engraving is concerned, it was made by Crave from an early stage, so I forget that it is a special technique.

Besides, I'm sure it's special as a technique, but it doesn't matter if it's needed.

And Kazi said,

"The engraving is as delicious as possible in this place.I'll be glad to do it. "

and.

Engraving equipment is a popular substitute for ordinary families in King's Landing, but it will rarely be available in small villages.

"... because I'll engrave it?

"Yeah."

Nodding to the village chief, he looks at the villagers.

I wonder if such a child really has such a skill.

"Still, the stuff we're dealing with goes to the big shops in King's Landing.I made this one, too.Come on. "

That said, when I showed it using a simple ignition device (lighter), I heard a small surprise.

The village chief looked back at those around him.

"Well, can I ask you something?

"I can't do too much because I have to keep my hands on it."

"Yes, I'll choose only what I need"

"Okay."

The village chief's bright smile was obviously changing into a cheeky face.

That would have been just as pleasant for them.

Some of the men on the spot hurried back into the village.I guess I went to get what I needed.

"With this?

"If the people in the village like it, it'll be easier for them to spend it."

When I asked Kazi, who grew up in the countryside, he said that.

These are closed communities.Basically, many people hate strangers.

But if you do something that makes you happy, it's probably a little different.

The comfort of your stay is one of the human feelings of the village.

You don't have to worry about tiredness just because you won't be entertained or evil.

... when I entered the village, there were already some tents on the open space.

Since there are no lodgings in this village, those who have prepared wild accommodations will have prepared them themselves.

They waited a while for the village chief to come to their house.

"... a steady bandit?"

When you talk casually like that,

"Right after I talked to Mr. Arks, this is probably a bad sign."

"Then, yes.For this minute, they might even be raiding us tonight.Kihihihi "

The two of you start talking about things, saying good news that nobody's gone.

"You guys...."

Of course, I can't forbid that stupid voice.

He exhaled a big, big sigh and turned to Jito's eyes, the other two turned to a strange gaze.

"What's wrong?

"What's the matter? Nothing.If you say that, you'll be attacked. "

"That's not true."

"Yes, Mr. Arcs has a hard time thinking too much about things that are bad.I'm afraid I'll become suspicious in the future... no, it's too late. "

"Kihihi! That might be true!

After all, they are cheering up their masters' dishes.

Servants no matter where they are.

Anyway, the problem is the inadvertent conversation we had earlier.

"... you don't understand.I wonder how magical words are.When you say that, the law works, the law works. "

Saying that with a sharp face,

"The law?"

"Is there such a law?

"... maybe, like, attraction or Murphy?

When asked again, it doesn't conform to what kind of law it is.

I feel that both of them are similar and not similar.

Naturally, if you don't know your master, you don't know your servant.

The three of them just inclined their necks strangely in the middle of the village square.

Anyway,

"If they raid us tonight, it's all your fault.

This is the worst flagging I've seen in a long time.

I couldn't help but feel a glimmer of anxiety.
