Chapter 094: Moving the Hacchi race

Translator: Tseirp

Departing after we had our breakfast, we arrived at the undeveloped forest.

“Fornoir, could you go in?”

I imagined a door and channeled magical power into the Key of the Hermit before turning the key.

A door appeared on the spot and a stable could be seen within it.

As to be expected, I was surprised when I tried using it yesterday.

Apparently, the lesser demons designed various rooms to alleviate stress, it was equipped with rooms for meals, sleep and even ma.s.sage rooms after exercises.

In the beginning, Fornoir and the other horses were startled but after they found that there wasn’t any problem entering the door, they gradually began to relax.

However, only Fornoir hated entering this stable.

And as expected, it refused this time as well.

” … If that’s the case then I have no choice but to have you come along with me this time, do you swear to not move around on your own?”

Fornoir nodded.

“That’s a smart horse.”

“Maybe it’s a subspecies of a battle horse nya.”

Lionel was impressed while the instant Cathy said those words, Fornoir raised its front legs toward Cathy.

“Calm down Fornoir. Cathy, apologize for treating Fornoir as a monster.”

I was truly fl.u.s.tered.

Fornoir hated being treated as a monster.

A normal horse would not have such a reaction.

However, Fornoir abnormally dislikes such things.

“I meant no offense nya. Please forgive me nya.”

“Burururuu.”

Cathy lowered her head and it looked like it forgave her while saying something like “It can’t be helped!”.

Something similar might happen in the future so I better tell them in advance.

“There might be some who are discontent about me bringing Fornoir along but her ability to scout is quite excellent. It has been proven when I came from Ienith. She’ll definitely not be in the way so don’t worry.” (TL: Oh finally the author says that Fornoir is a female.)

『Yes!』

There weren’t any objections but I felt that they only did not voice it out.

I conveyed my trust toward Fornoir quietly and entered the forest.

The line-up for the members that came to the undeveloped forest was the same as the previous time, with the addition of Haniru-dono from the Hacchi tribe.

I was quite lost as to bring Milfeene and the elves along or not but Cathy strongly wished to bring them along and Lionel shouldered the responsibility so I allowed them to accompany us.

Firstly, under Haniru-dono’s guidance, we headed for the Hacchi tribe’s settlement.

“There’s a need for me to give my report so please wait a moment.”

Looking at Haniru-dono and his retinues fly off toward the nest in the air, I spoke to Milfeene and the others.”

“I’ll guide you to the forest … Was it Leshy? Did it appear this time? And did you hear the spirit’s voice?”

“There has not been any voices from Leshy or Spirit-sama this time.”

Rician replied as a representative.

She and Crecia insisted that they do not want their slave crest to be dispelled so they offered to monitor Milfeene, the fairies, and the spirit this time.

I told them to do as they wish.

“Okay. Let me know if anything happens”

This time, the formation was split into 3 groups.

Me, Lionel, Cathy, Haniru-dono, Dolan, and Milfeene were the transplanting squad.

Paula, Rician, and Yarubo squad were the material procurement squad.

Kefin squad and Crecia were the scouting squad.

To be honest, the matter about procuring magic stones was on my mind but I chose to go back to my roots and move with survival as the highest priority.

Blunders would happen if everything is hurried.

There was even a proverb for it so it would be best to proceed each step in order.

“Philosopher-sama, I’ve obtained permission. Today, after choosing the trees to transplant, we wish to move 30 percent of the colony, 40 individuals, is that alright?”

Haniru-dono reported delightedly but there wasn’t any talk about the number of individuals so they decided on it themselves.

“There isn’t any problem regarding the number but as I mentioned before, it isn’t safe?”

“Yes I understand. We wish to have approval to construct the nest in the underground below the Healer’s Guild.”

That was my original plan all along and I intended to tell them that but where would they have built the nest if I refused?

“There’s no problem as long as it doesn’t impair the profits. The increase in population was already expected so be at ease and move. However, please properly convey to them that it would not be an environment in which they would be able to frequently return home.”

It’s imperative that I furnish an environment that can ensure their safety but I still have not decided on how to establish that.
