Volume 6 Chapter 9 (1/2)
6-9 People of Baron Muno Territory (1)Satous's here It's hard to work under an inco the opposite
If it was just a job then you could just change your workplace, but the territory people could not do that
◇
We've just entered the territory of baron Muno, so I perform [All Map Exploration] like usual
It seehtly ahead There are 20 soldiers around with level ranging on 3-7 Co out of that place is a flat terrain with sporadically situated small mountains and forests The areais wider than Kuhanou's earldom However, the whole population is only around 40000, about 1/3th of Seryuu city
There is only one big city in the baron's territory, while the rest are just ses with less than 1000 people each The tohere the baron lives is populated with 20000 people and seems to be called Muno city
In that Muno city, there's a de so fishy Since it looks troublesome, I would stay as far away as possible from it
But, didn't Arisa say that demons which had crossed worlds are executive class? I don't think that it's an executive with this level I wonder if demons could be born in this world?
Next, I examine monsters in this territory There is no low level monsters, on the other hand, there are several monsters past level 10 in various place Even nearby, there's a level 24
Furtherh they're not monsters, in a forest near Munoo city--a 30 kiloe forest--there are wood giants in the interior Although there are only 10 wood giants, the strongest one is at level 39 Their levels averaged at 30
Another notable thing is that there are a lot of thieves Although I've expected this, roup has around 200 people It seee of the forest where the wood giants live
Since there are a lot of outlaws, this probably means the public order of this territory is quite bad
I'd like to take a detour out of this baron's territory, but that means we'd need to circle around to the royal capital, and if we take longer detour, then we'd have to get to duke Oyugock's territory It'd take roughly twoto the traveler's journal, if we get caught in the winter, ouldn't be able to

”Good afternoon, soldier-san, are you not feeling well?”
”Faa, it's nothing, I don't feel liketoday”
”Is that so, thanks for your hard work”
”Uh”
The soldier said so while lazily sitting down in front of theit
His clothes is slovenly worn too, an uninformed person would likely s to the baron Muno army
”Hehehe~ Ennui Field is quite usable right~”
”Yeah, we're saved”
Arisa proudly said so while leaning on the driver seat of the wagon which had started running How long are you going to put the stamina recovery potion bottle on your mouth, that's bad manner you know?
The soldier before was that languid because Arisa casted arrison's soldiers becah possibility he would be like that anyway even if we didn't use ic
There's a reason e deliberately used ic
Froarrison had things like [Murder], or [Rape] in their Reward and Punishment, just like thieves I understand that they're people who do as they like
I neutralized theled in counterattack If possible I wanted theic That was my plan, so Arisa used Over Boost, coupled with Ennui Field frouid
If they had ic detection item then it could be a probleled with those guys, so I picked the relatively low risk method
It uys like thearrison, their fate is probably already sealed
I confirm Arisa's status just in case, but her Reward and Punished

Afternoon on the sae populated with 300 people, we're called by a irls beside hiued and disheartened, they don't look their ages
”Sir, won't you buy these girls?”
”I'm sorry, but I don't need slaves”
”Each of the city they would sell well”
Thewith listless voice
He probably knew that ones would need to pay tax if they want to bring slaves outside the territory
”Only if there's no tax, further”
”Is that so, then, how about beco copper coins”
That's cheap
I won't buy theh
”I'm sorry, but they're not comparable”
I point at Arisa and Nana who've showed their face after hearing word, 'attendants' Although they wear hoods, their good looks should be evident
After the ave up
”That so, I' your time”
”I'd like to talk for a bit”
”What is it?”
”Did your village fall into poverty because of bad harvest?”
”It's not that, it was certainly smaller than usual, but we didn't have bad harvest”
Then, was the tax too high?
If the situation continue and they keep selling huradually run out and the village disappear?
