Chapter 5 ~ Let’s Be a Lord

The next day, after breakfast, I continued building the rest of the walls

Ithe house I ca that I will return immediately after I finish the rest of the walls

Sati was sewing the cloth that I brought at the fortress yesterday while Tilika is helping her out

Since Ellie and Ann are both still languished fro around

Even when it’s not snowing outside, the te

That was to be expected when they are engulfed in the indoors warmth

As for ic to add soardless of winter, I will feel all warm and fluffy inside

The re walls were completed in less than an hour I went up and took a look at surrounding

The indoor areaas a priht further, but if I did that, it will have a pro from outside the forest Well, the tower is still quite clear to see froht, it wasn’t that surprising

Or perhaps, would it be better to ca the rah

I was driven by the fear fro at the Elf Country, and due to that, I finished building this splendid walls Now that I think back about it, I really was exaggerating things

Originally, the idea of staying here never crossedis to act as a lodging place, akin to a villa for this trip

The surrounding is nothing but a sea of trees Even if the distance to the town is within 《Fly》 coverage, it’s quite a lonely place to take a permanent residence

This is the first home that I owned, which deeply made me proud, but it’s still a secret base to the core If I want a place to permanently reside, then I need to find an appropriate location, for my wives’ sake

I love living like a shut-in, but I don’t want to becoic, it’s still possible to travel between the town and this base

There are still ht now, but if we consider this as a villa, then all the later works will just be in excess Since we are mostly outside on an adventure, it may be safer to put the access door in a place where people couldn’t see it to prevent crime

I didn’t get tired even after building the walls Whether it is necessary or not, I get the deliberate result

So, I’ve co back, Olba-san and Nania-san appeared from the nearby forest

Maybe Nania-san careeted theed it to ‘juet down that fast and considering his stats)

“Since when, this thing……”

Olba-san said while his eyes skih the wall

“I built them little by little”

My ic was introduced by Ellie to both of the it a secret, it’s fine to talk to them about it It’s hard to tell that the as built yesterday and earlier today, though

“The last ti like this……”

Olba-san uttered it in disbelief

Since they want to see the whole thing, I brought them over to the rampart wall

“Isn’t this completely a fortress?”

When I focused too much on the defence, the end result became like this

I reflect a little seeing that I have overdid things

“We often heard about Masaru’s feat from Ellie, but this much is……”

“Since there are only walls without an entrance, that means this is still incomplete, no?”

Even after I think it over, I believe that an entrance is unnecessary Even without it, my party mehest I have never encountered them, but it seems that monsters appear at the vicinity

To begin with, this place is deep in the heart of the forest There is nofor an entrance

“If you don’t make one, wouldn’t you trouble the visitors ants to come in?”

“You said come, but wouldn’t it just be Olba-san and the others”

If that is the case, I will make a small entrance

When the strap is pulled, the doorbell willsound

No, if I need to pick theuess we don’t need any entrance then

“That is e ca lord?”

“Huh? The ruling lord is kind of different……but?”

I got a bit flustered when that unfamiliar word came out of his mouth A lord? Me?

Is it so like a school committee member?

If I were to becoy’, then it will pose a probleate

“You see, the farer than I initially expected Don’t you think so? The nue is unlikely to be able to fit any more people Moreover, this place has a reasonable distance to the farmland”

“Huh……”

“So yesterday, I took a look at the wall that you’ve built as a sae nearby the farmland”

I see I will es chief

As a lord, the job will cover e, or its internal affair

Me? No, I think Ellie will rather suit that position

“Is it that easy to beco lord?”

“The ement of the farmland But aren’t those easy tasks for Masaru?”

Hmm Not to say that I am not interested, as an adventurer, I can’t stop my preparation towards the end of the world Even if I can handle dual jobs at the sa a lord will only increase my shares of trouble

“I will discuss this with everyone else first”

This isn’t a matter that I can decide by

“The ruling lord, isn’t that good!”

Ellie iuess she likes the idea of being a lord

“What about us as adventurers?”

“We can appoint soe chief?”

Besides e on behalf of the lord, his scope of work as a substitute officer includes collecting the taxes

“To begin with, I don’t knohat is the advantage of being a lord”

“You can be a noble, you know that?”

A noble? Isn’t thata lord?

“Is it okay if I turn it down?”
