Volume 5 Chapter 2 (1/2)
A Large increase in Population: It’s tiet started
At last, the fateful day had come
This is the day he promised Ed and Raymond: the 200th day
Georg and the others arrived at the proames while they waited
After a while, the afternoon finally arrived
“Oh my God…” one of the demi-humans said
“A…” another said in awe
From the southern side of the plain, as far as the eye could see, they saw a large nu towards their location
After confir had heard that between the two of them a number of no less than 1,700 de that e amount of personnel, so probably 500 to 600 humans accompanied them as well
[TR: it’s strange they say “no less”, but later it’s actually short…]
Most of those humans were soldiers led by Raymond, but there were probably also employees of Ed Normally, it would be better to hire mercenaries or adventurers and the like, but the lips of such people were very ‘light’ It’s said that their mouths are like a feather; all it takes to old
The two agreed not to useif their positions were ulti such matters, the flood of people that had swelled to over 2,300 drew close enough for hiot off a carriage loaded with the town’s surplus goldcrafts and waited for the group to approach Georg’s eyes shi+ned with excitereatly troubled by thoughts of ould come after today
[TR: pats Ferris]
A horse-drawn carriage approached the siblings, whose opposing attitudes looked a bit a and would no longer get closer, twoin assu man asked
Of the two men who had arrived, one was in his mid-20s and the other man in his late 30s or early 40s
“That’s right, I’ May I ask who you are?”
In response to Georg’s question, the two htened their posture
“ExcuseCompany, I am Welkin I have been called here today as a representative of our president”
“Likewise, I am Henry, and I have co, the Lord of Nidea I’ve been entrusted with passing thisto you: ‘I’m sorry that I cannot be there to meet you personally, today’”
Georg thought that the two of them were probably retainers He looked at them and nodded a couple of times
“I see, I don’t ether, it would beco eyes More i]
After saying that athered behind him, then turned back to the two men
“Sorry to cut to the chase, but let’s get to the topic at hand Both of you tellasked
“Yes” [Henry/Welkin]
Following Georg’s orders, the two men took a piece of paper froan to read them
Welkin went first “Our Goldberg trading coathered 644 Beastmen, 63 Elves and 57 Dwarfs, for a total of 764 demi-humans Here is a detailed breakdown”
“The Lord has gathered 598 Beast 741 demi-humans This is the breakdown,” Henry reported
Both presented the number and the breakdown of the de the docuave a satisfied nod as he accepted the documents, and said to them:
“In total, 1,505 de As we discussed, report to your bosses that I don’twhat you please with the products I’ve handed over before”
“Sir” [Welkin]
“Yes” [Henry]
“The additional cart here belongs to the Goldberg trading coh it was a close call, a bet is a bet I’ll ask both of you not to cause any trouble in the future” [Georg]
“I understand” [Welkin]
“The Lord also would not use such ill-mannered behavior” [Henry]
“I’d hope so Anyway, the number of Beastmen alone exceeds 1,200, huh… Could it be that their value in this country will start increasing?” [Georg]
At those words, the two ave a wry smile
“Yes, after all, over 10 of the Beastmen population is said to be in this country” [Welkin]
“Their supply will not exceed demand for a while” [Henry]
Georg nodded at the two h as he spoke
“I see, I see That’s fine… Well, I will disappear from this country for a bit, as well I probably won’t be able to ]
