Chapter 30 (2/2)

「I see So you match up the number with the documents」

Haruto looked at the broadest land, number 45

「The landowner……Branch Ainsworth A Does it produce apples」

She's truly one of the three greatest e plot of land

「Let's see Considering water and transportation, it would be nice to have a vast land facing the river and near the city」

Claris is a big city A large town needs a lot of water, and Claris is in a place where you can secure a lot of water In short, there are many rivers However, there's a problem

「All of them are alress」

Most of such convenient land is owned by proriculture

「This may be useless It's better to buy the property inside the walls quietly……」

At the tiive up, Roa raised a loud voice

「Please look Here, it's land from a far, it should be four times the size of our current factory 」

Haruto sees the land that Roa pointed at It's a bit far froe A river is also nearby

「That's true……but why? Ma, whatever For the tio there」

「You're right Let's go immediately」

Haruto and Roa decided to head to the land

「Now then, we've finally arrived……it's quiet」

Haruto looked around There was no one The field is also neglected, it was covered in weeds

「Why is it neglected? Apart from that, it seems that the soil is extremely thin」

Roa watches the weeds that have grown to the height of her back

「But it seems that there's no problem if we build a factory Well, this is the address of the landowner……」

Haruto took out the docu their current location

「Is there a rural village from here Everyone is clustered around here Let's take a little walk」

Haruto and Roa started to aie

「Why is it neglected? 」

Roa said to Haruto again after looking at the surroundings

「Who knows? Maybe someone committed suicide? 」

Haruto said with a laugh Roa shuddered

「Please stop it Seriously」

Theco from the fields Roa jumped up

「Wh-what is it! 」

「You're really afraid of ghosts」

Haruto picked up a fallen branch fro ready Haruto has never seen a ghost That's why he's looking forward to it

The grass rustling sound is getting louder It was definitely getting closer here

「Kyaaa」

The grass swayed considerably before their eyes, and soed Haruto

「Fuhost」

It was a dery while baring its fangs

「Get out!! Illness from this land!! 」

「Brat, don't get carried away」

Haruto hit the demon……to be exact, the de The child tries to escape, but Haruto grabs the child's shoulders and does not let go

「H-Help ht I'll become a slave!! 」

「Calm down I'm not a moneylender」

When Haruto said so, the child stopped running away and looked at his face

「Eh!? Isn't Nii-chan a merchant? 」

Haruto anshile scratching his head

「I'm a merchant but not a e? 」

Haruto points to the village in the front

「That's right, but……what did you come here for? 」

「I came here to buy this land」

Haruto pointed to the ground As Haruto says so, the child beamed

「What Then you're a customer You should have told me that first」

Haruto and Roa looked at each other Roa lowered to the saht as the child

「Why is the field abandoned? 」

The child smiled and answered

「There was a disease The crops caught it That's why the area became useless and they threw it away The fields on the east side of the village is wiped out, but the western side isn’t affected, so we ed soer able to pay the interest since our income is halved That's ant to sell the land to repay the debt……some moneylender intends to buy the land on the east side for about 2 ling situation」

「So, why did you call me a demon? 」

Hearing Haruto says so, the child lowered his head and apologized

「Sorry It was a joke Please follow e chief can welcome you」

Haruto and Roa headed for the village at the direction of the child

When Haruto and Roa cae, they were looked at with animosity at first But when the child called Haruto and Roa as『customers』, they were met with favorable eyes

A bossy old etic old e

「Follow me」

The old man said so and turned on his heel Haruto and Roa followed the old man

Haruto and Roa were guided to the biggest building in the village and were urged to sit in a chair

「Now then, what is your business? Merchants」

The old e chief said

「Honestly speaking, I would like to buy the land over there How about 20 million? 」

It's twice the amount that the money lender presented Fro land for 20 million if it's four times the size of the current factory

The village chief says after lifting his eyebrows

「It's useless I' with that How about 100 million? 」

When the village chief says so, Roa said from the side

「That is quite the talk Would you sell a dead land for 100the land value from around here, it should be 6 to 7 million And with the fact that it's dead, 20 o to another Haruto-san」

Haruto and Roa tried to stand up after saying so The village chief quickly detained them

「Just kidding, it was a joke But 20 million is too cheap We have circumstances also At least 40 million, no 30 million」

The village chief begged Haruto and Roa Haruto sighs

「Then 25 million More than that is not cheap」

The village chief took out the contract after suffering for a while It seee it

「I'll tell you one thing」

Haruto tells the village head while writing his name

「You had better stop talking about selling sympathy Or you'll see my feet」

Haruto and Roa got up and left the place

「Even so, you can still buy it if it's 50 million It's a factory so you don't care about the dead land」

After going back to the store, Roa says while s

「The guy who tried to cheat on o if he just want a bit more Like 10 million 」

A field where crops can't be planted is just garbage

「Ah, what is it? 」

Roa saw Haruto holding a letter, and asked

「The fishi+ng village……it's a letter fro us the ash」

The ash supply froe can't catch up with the dees This letter caes

Haruto spreads the letter and starts reading

「What's written there? 」
