NOVEL SIMPLE v1c10
The invigoration of the territory was a must in the fight against the mastermind, the Grand Duke Kasteen.
Therefore, it was a good thing that the territory would be invigorated as a result of the tax cut.
Of course, the people were still skeptical when they heard what Kamil and the others said.
The day after the meeting ended without incident.
Kurt woke up in the morning to the sound of a pleasant explosion.
"She tried to make something again. ......"
Irma, an alchemist, was quite eager to research and if she was not very good, she would not sleep and would make the explosion sound all night long, so she was only allowed to experiment while the sun was rising.
Irma is reluctant to do so, but she obeys it.
That is why the explosion, not the morning chicken, was the signal for the arrival of morning in this territory.
But this had a surprisingly positive effect on the outside world: "If anyone attacks that territory, they will be exploded! and no bandits appeared at all, despite the fact that there were no troops and they could attack at any time they wanted to.
However, it was not good to be without troops forever.
Kurt wanted to hire those who were available.
However, even if the tax rate was lowered, people would not come to the area immediately, so for now, Kurt had no choice but to make do with the people in the territory alone.
After finishing breakfast, Kurt left the mansion to find out how the town had changed as a result of yesterday's events.
And then--.
" ugg......"
As soon as he left the mansion, Kurt stepped on something.
Kurt was indeed at fault for not thinking that there was a person lying on the street.
What is it? Had I stepped on something in my rush?"
When he looked at what he stepped on in a hurry, he found a girl who collapsed.
A slender girl who had lost a lot of weight.
She had slightly wavy chestnut-colored hair, and for some reason was carrying a wooden stick and a lot of grass, but she was dressed like an ordinary village girl.
She looks vaguely familiar, but he cannot remember where he has seen her.
Perhaps she was a character who appeared in the original story, but Kurt himself does not remember her, which means that she probably did not have a very important role in the story.
"Hey, are you okay?"
"Oh, I'm hungry. ......"
The girl was holding her stomach.
It seems that she was running out of energy due to hunger.
This event was familiar to him from somewhere, but such an event should not happen in the Antoner territory.
It must have been my imagination.
If you want to eat, why don't you just go to a food vendor and get something to eat?"
'I don't have any money oh ....... I've eaten nothing but grass for the past week. ......"
"Oh, ......, I get it. I apologize for stepping on your foot, too. You want to eat at my place?"
"What? Is it alright?
The girl suddenly stands up and becomes energetic.
Kurt smiled at her quick transformation.
"Instead, there will be leftovers, is that okay?"
"Of course! Yay, it's the first decent meal I've had in days. ......"
Kurt returns to the mansion with the girl, who is smiling in anticipation.
◇ ◇◇◇
Huh? Kurt-sama? Is something wrong?"
When I returned to the dining room, I found that my maid, Effa, was clearing dishes.
"Actually, ......"
Oh, no, you can't. It's too much to eat."
I'm not going to eat it, okay? Can you get this person something to eat, anything at all?"
"Yes, of course. Please sit down and wait."
Effa went toward the kitchen.
Then, a girl tugs at Kurt's sleeve anxiously.
Are you by any chance belong to this family?"
"I'd say it's more like mine".
"What? What do you mean?"
"I'm the lord of this land."
Lord ......? Is that some kind of food?"
"No, it's not!"
"That's right. Oh, so you're a nobleman!?"
"What on earth did you think I was ......?"
"A rich and kind boy?"
The girl will say while tilting her head.
She was looking around just scampering around, and then she was suddenly sticking her face into a jar.
"There's nothing here. ......"
Why are you peeking into the jar or something?"
'Sometimes there's money in there, sometimes there's good food."
"That's called stealing, you know?"
Don't worry, don't worry. I've never been called a thief before."
'Maybe it's just a coincidence that the guards never spotted you?"
"No, that's not true. It's a basic rule of travel, you know. You should check the contents of the chest carefully."
"Anyway, I didn't put anything in the jars in this house, so you don't need to check them."
"...... seems to be true."
The girl's face is clouded with disappointment.
From the fact that she was acting so out of the ordinary, one could kind of imagine what kind of a person she was.
Before you eat, can you tell me a little about yourself? Who the hell are you and why were you found lying here?"
"Yes, of course. My name is Yuna Sperl. I was lying here because I didn't have any money and couldn't afford to eat a proper meal?"
Maybe you don't do any work?
'Oh, no, that's not true! I'm in the profession as you can see, and it's moderately hard work!"
"As you can see ......?"
No matter where he looks, she seems to be just a village girl.
She didn't even look like she was working in any way for that matter.
''By the looks of it, you must be a farmer's daughter?
"No, that can't be it. If I am having this weapon, then I must look like a hero, right?"
Yuna said while holding up a wooden stick.
Of course, the possibility was considered.
It was possible that she could be the hero from the original story.
Unfortunately, this game allows the player to choose the gender of the hero.
That is why he had always assumed that the hero was a man.
But in this world, it seems that girl play the role of the heroes.
--I guess hero is poor .......
If it were true, a hero would be a candidate for being reincarnead person , but Kurt was relieved that it ws not the case that she was reincarnated person.
'Are you mocking me somehow?"
"It's just your imagination, I guess."
