Domestic Affairs
“Now, that’s why I’m here This is a land no one has ever laid hand on before Even when there’s a river nearby, it isn’t being put to good use in the slightest”
Looking over those gathered and clapping, I felt as if I was the only one getting so excited like an idiot
The lined up faces started with Leold-kun, then Clara, before going on to include the es
From our side, besides Clara, there was Aria, Maksi as well
Other than them, the Valkyries expressionlessly applauded me I wonder what it is… the mass produced models seem to be the cutest of the bunch
While there was a river running nearby, the ground sprouted grass they grew to the hips A forest stood in close proximity, and with the Skills… Map and Search… I could confirm that it was full of monsters
Taking out the large-scale Porter, we had also gotten together the tools we thought necessary Within the present situation where we carried out such preparations, Leold-kun raised his hand
“Mr Lyle”
“Okay, first drop the ‘Mr’ You can just call me Lyle Anyways, just don’t add a ‘Mr’”
I informed him of a crucial fact Leold-kun tilted his head a little, but he nodded, and continued on with his question
“Uo pioneering’, the Grand Duke House is just barely scraping by financially, you know?”
Since he knew I knew of his House’s internal situation, he had no restraint in exposing the financial status of the Grand Duke’s House
(Well, from my research, I know it down to its smallest copper It’s true the Grand Duke House has no )
Right At the rate ere going, fall would have to pass by before the Grand Duke House could procure any extra funds What’s more, froe majority of that would disappear
I spoke with a smile
“Don’t worry The world is full of money, if you knohere to look I borrowed a little for this operation Ah, it was just an advance payment, mind you I’ll properly return it someday”
Once et Fidel-san’s eyes of scorn, but Vera said, ‘I guess there’s no helping it,’ and lent it to me
I’ht person to say it, but Vera is surely the type of woet extorted by a man
Leold-kun looked at me, and turned his eyes to Clara
“He’s quite an a person, isn’t he? I’ve only ever hear the rumors”
Clara corrected the positioning of her glasses
“… Well, if you just look at his career history on paper, he’s perfect Know the details, and you’ll be a bit disappointed, but that’s Lyle-san’s charm”
Leold-kun sent eyes of aspiration my way It was as if his eyes were focused on the hero of a child’s fairy tale
(What’s this…to use Galleria tohurts)
From the Jewel, from the Third and up
『Kuh, those innocent eyes burn!』
『D-don’t look at us like that!』
『… Back then, they all had such pretty eyes too, didn’t they』
『This aching of the heart… for a look of purity to hurt to such an extent…』
『It’s no good Even I can’t bring myself to tease this child』
I cleared my throat, and went into explanations
“Now then, Leold-kun, this ti this land This area has an abundancy of monsters, and whenever rain falls, its s this land will be of the utmost difficulty”
The gathered manpower also nodded at that opinion The second and third sons of the area, and the existences called dependents
“But then ould you cultivate such a land?”
“I’d be thankful if you’d just norh”
“People have tried to cultivate this place nue told me”
To the men eren’t really on board, I proclaimed
“That’s exactly why! If we reclaio to Leold-kun… to the next Grand Duke Steadily start fro on an even bigger river, why don’t we!”
But Leold-kun looked around
“Uroup too small in scale?”
I also thought so I thought there would beof a country that had continued fighting on tiain, manpoas a scarce resource
It was also a busy tie’s burdens, ten-oddtheir houses
“Well, let’s just say we’re working with a select few So let’s use et so sis”
Leold-kun, still a little worried, nodded And fro voice that seemed to have some implication behind it
『… Lyle, you’re in quite good for』

As the third day of cultivating passed by
“Gyaaaah, the bank collaaaaapsed!!”
Cracks travelled across the h, the wall collapsed, and the water behind it jetted out with good momentum
Because it had been daher, and as near as I was, I ashed out
There, Adele-san, who had been giving out orders closeby, ashed away as well Clara-san stumbled from the impact, and floated in the river
As she bobbed downstream, I went to retrieve her, when Maksim-san rushed over
“Milady! Now, quickly wipe down your body!”
After handing Adele-san a towel, he protected her fro men I recovered Clara’s body from the flow, but I didn’t have a dry towel on me
More than that, Adele-san was shaking as she looked at me
“That’s why I told you! Build it sturdier, I said! Otherwise, es the flow of the rover itself, I said!”
Soaked, with her clothes stuck fast to her body, she co up water, Clara didn’t remain silent herself
As she wiped off her wet glasses
“The one who said soet, and didn’t want to use the proper tools was you, Adele-san I’m sure I said to reinforce it just as ritten in the book”
Acting as a dispatch from the Grand Duke of Galleria, this ti the knowledge she’s stored up, she was supposed to play a large part in our flood control
Supposed to… but, she couldn’t help but collide with Adele-san
“And I explained that we didn’t have enough to use the book’s knowledge as-is, didn’t I!? That’s why I said to do whatever we could, and use other ot to be a more efficient solution here!”
As their two opinions clashed, estures to calm them down
Maksim-san to Adele-san
“Milady, there’s no helping what’s been broken We have toon”
“Wah, our expenses have been needlessly wasted again…”
I tried to sooth Clara
“Clara, isn’t there any other e or so?”
“I’htwould have been wasted, to say the least”
Both Adele-san and Clara grumbled off complaints at the other Both points were important problems, so I hadn’t an idea of what to say
But fro voice
It was Milleia-san
『Splendid How splendid, Lyle That follow-through, and the failure that let to absolutely no progress in the situation, it’s exceedingly fun to watch!』
This person had a considerably terrible personality It’s a definite that she put on an act before the Sixth The Sixth kept talking about some kind sister, but that was definitely a lie
(As expected of Miranda and Shannon’s sister)
She had it in her to be the progenitor of the tith problematic personalities, but that wasn’t much different from the other ancestors
