249 An Unexpected Side.

"Birdland was able to develop, probably because he was biased and free"

And Graf said.

"It's like a sanctuary over there. As I'm sure you know, in times when countries like Heim, Rockdam, and Euro were at war, this is where they signed the end of that war."

"Yes. I know"

"That's why Heim and Rockdam have never stood out and craved that right to the land. I've heard a lot about kina smell exchanges, but the land is still free."

If you change your mind, it's a convenient freedom for the merchants.

Without a loud official, no nobleman would come in the way.

I guess they merchants created a paradise called Birdland (...) as they did so.

"So it seems like there are a lot of problems in this Strom, but what do you think of Ein?

"... right"

Problem? Problem?

Ein thinks the answer to Graf's words.

(There's already a lord in this town named me. The rest of the problem is... the law?)

Not only the merchants, but the people of Ishtarika need to pay taxes.

Such fine decisions cannot be eliminated.

- Ain't got it in mind.

"Or right...... would it be?

Second, the words turned my head.

"Yeah, I thought Ein was right."

Graf nodded.

"Besides some rebellion, there are people out there who lose their jobs...... I see. This is not a good story."

"Exactly. This isn't about building cities from scratch, so let's call it harm."

You must enjoy yourself and proceed with caution.

Otherwise, let us be far from development and so on, just dumb lords.

"So instead of going into commercialization, we should be able to grow strongly in the commercial side,"

Ain kept his ears shut.

Because every conversation I have with Graf, called the champion of trade, is a precious time.

"And that's why - I don't mind just one. I was wondering if you needed an element to sell Strom."

Graf gets it right.

And he makes one suggestion.

"Specialty products, products that can be consumed will be fine. You can't get it unless it's ström... if you have such a specialty or something, I think things like nature and commerce will grow, how about that?"

"... Grandpa. I think that suggestion would be great, but Strom is something that would be a specialty..."

"Mm... it's Krone. Giving up like that is nothing more than a bad idea. When Noun first came to Ishtarika, he started selling old cloths."

Unknown, Ain't heard of the formation of the Augusto Chamber of Commerce.

From the sale of old cloths, it has often grown to this point.... Though there was royal help there, Graf's arm amazes me.

"If you don't have what you need, you can make it. If you don't have anything to make, just think about it. If you can't even think about it..."

"So, if you can't...?

Swallow the saliva and Ein asks for the continuation.

"You learn. Learn from history, and also from experience. There's nothing to waste there. A fool is a man who likes to learn."

"... it struck my heart"

"Ha ha! That's above all."

Next to Ain, Krone was nodding yeah.

I'm sure she was impressed, too, like Ein.

"Well... it's definitely the pinnacle of stupidity to like it before we do it."

"Krone, did you come up with something?

Her face changed.

Something about the look on your face just saying you've got the heavens.

"Yep. It's just that... I have a problem with whether I can move this to execution."

I put my palms on my cheeks and let them get a little lost in colour.

It is obvious that this trick was influenced by Olivia by Krone.

"I need a little idea right now. Never mind, I want you to tell me first."

"I'm sorry. Before I do, I'd like to ask Grandpa one question."

"... hmm? What, Krone?"

I said no to Ain with a look of sorry and spoke to Graf.

"Items for nobility and for civilians. Would it be foolish to get your hands on one side or the other?"

"Han. If it's for nobility, you can sell it as something that civilians admire, all of which gradually adds cheap products for civilians"

Differentiation is important. Otherwise, they won't find each other attractive, so it seems.

Krone relieves himself of this answer. Continued, Graf answered.

"Conversely, nobility should seek something special about the product, whether it is intended for civilians or on the subject. If so, just add expensive items then"

I mean, attacking from either side doesn't make it that problematic. That's the answer.

Thank you, Krone, for the graph. And thank you, and look at Ain again.

"Thank you for waiting. You know, my idea is..."

? ? ?

A few days after face-to-face with Graf. The weather is nice. One morning.

One wagon arrived at the mansion.

"Ma'am, that's it for you."

"Yeah, thanks"

It seems to belong to the Augusto Chamber of Commerce, and when he said so to Krone, he left his load and went away.

"Did you get it?

Ain, who was watching the exchange, noticed Krone and jumped out of the mansion in a hurry.

"Just now. Shall we open it quickly?"

"Oh, yeah."

When I put my hand on a slightly larger crate, Ain opened it himself.

Then you're inside the

"You're a healthy sapling. I don't think this is a problem."

Ain looked at what was in the crate and said so.

It was a few seedlings that were delivered.

They were seedlings a little higher than Ein's knees, but the blue leaves convey the brilliance of vitality.

"What kind of seedling was that?"

"It's Baltic. A sturdy wooden beard that withstands the cold of the Baltic winter."

They've been through the winter.

Taking a trip to Baltic in the middle of winter, Ain went out to the former demon kingdom - a land now known as the old king's capital.

And Krone walked all over the cold town, too, because he was gathering information.

"That was cold...... the balt then"

"I have a lot of good memories, but that cold was tough."

I laughed bitterly, Krone.

But I'm sure it's packed with good memories for her.

He rested in the bed where Ain was using it in secret and then gently replaced the pillow.

I still can't tell you, it's just her secret.

Besides, when I fell asleep from exhaustion, I touched Ain's tenderness and immersed myself in warmth.

"Dear Ain! I'm digging a hole here. Yo!

"Okay! I'm going that way now!

It was Dill who called.

He, also known as the royal lion, today scratched an iron shovel with a sweat in one hand.

It is the corner of the garden where he stands. There, about three holes are dug.

On a bright white shirt, golden body hair claimed to exist.

"Come on......"

Ain lifted the seedlings.

Nothing heavy. However, Prince Wang's own performance of such tasks is only slightly distracting from his service and deacons.

"It's not bad, is it?"

"Oh, Ein liked gardening?

"I like it for what it is. Because you're the demon king of the world tree."

"Heh heh... you're such a homely demon king"

Make jokes and carry seedlings.

This is by no means the result of the neglect of my men, but only of the division of labour.

Dill digs a hole, and in the first place, he's not going to let Krone hold the heavy stuff.

There's usually no Marco beside him, because he's in the middle of putting on an archery for the Black Knight.

"How about these clothes? Do you look good?"

"I think you're cute."

Ain't got dirty, he wore something like a long apron.

Such Ain's words are funny, and Krone laughs.

"Good for you.... Ah, Dill? What's Mr. Katima doing?

"Knowing I have a job, I abducted Master Chris early in the morning - no, I took him, he went out to town..."

Apparently, the sacrifice today is Chris.

Ain gave an indescribable look, looking back toward the town and looking at the sky with a distant eye.

Nevertheless, it's a good thing I didn't interrupt Dill's work.

Chris has been sacrificed, but I'm sure she'll be fine.

"For Chris's sake, we have to work hard to grow into a good tree."

- And Ain said what he wants today.

"Oh, yeah... I'm sure you'll be fine, Ain"

That's what I found out when I planted trees in Magna.

If Ain commands, the little tree grows big too. Nevertheless, magic is sucked out of Ain's body, but that's just a minor problem.

For whatever it is, the magic of the Demon King is immense.

"In the first place, if you don't succeed, it won't even be a specialty."

Yes. What Krone proposed the other day was a proposal to specialize in the fruits of the trees that Ein had grown.

Previously Riples were much bigger than normal and tasted excellent.

Even Laralua likes it, and now the castle is made of ripple trees as well.

"Nevertheless... I think Baltic is a good choice. Dear Ein."

"Thanks. That said, it was Krone who chose"

How come it's not a ripple or something? There was a reason there.

That's a matter of yield.

"If you're a woodchuck, you can expect a lot of harvest. Because you can expect the fruit to be bigger too, influenced by Ain"

Krone spoke confidently.

That's right. If you grow up like a ripple, even if it's a small wooden rod, you can expect it to be quite big.

Woodchucks make up many fruits. That's why I was stepping on it, like this one, to make it a specialty.

"And what can also be processed"

"Well, for example, jam... I think it's a lot of use"

Vendors for processing there, merchants selling bottles, those who make them… many are involved.

Hopefully, it will undoubtedly be a big topic.

(So, my reputation... I'm ashamed to say reputation myself, but you mean to use that reputation)

Ain't popular. That's been the case since we crusaded the sea dragon, but we've made a lot of anecdotes since then.

What Krone was lost the other day was taking advantage of Ain's popularity.

Isn't that a shallow idea? Wouldn't the people be disappointed? Krone got lost that day.

But if that sale were to be used for Strom, the story would change.

During the previous tree-planting festival, Ain's deeds bring abundance to Ishtarika - Olivia declared.

Ain't gonna use his powers for Strom this time too.

If this were to happen, no one would say badly about the Ains.

If the rice cake is delicious, those who eat it will rejoice.

And Strom can be busy and take a step forward for prosperity. It's not a bad story.

Also, I don't use the power I can use - because it doesn't fit Ein's sexuality.

"Dear Ein. I planted it."

While Ain was thinking, Dill quickly planted the seedlings on the ground.

The three seedlings lined up next to each other are adorable as brothers.

"Thanks. Well, hurry up..."

"Ain't you gonna have to, Ain't you?

"It's okay. However, if you fall over because you've been sucked by too much magic, you should see a doctor then."

Oh, when that happens, it's going to affect the Cains, too. I'm sorry if I got out.

Apologizing softly inside, Ain approached the seedling tree.

"... already. I'll do whatever you want to see, but be careful not to fall down."

"I know. It's a joke."

Answer that, Ain't reaching out softly.

The seedling leaves are the tips to stretch. When Ain's hand touches the leaves, I feel like I've somehow been able to communicate.

"I thought you were like brothers, but you guys were really brothers"

Second, the will arrived behind Ain's brain.

Never a word. But I felt like I had received the thought of a seedling tree.

"Is it okay if I let you guys have my powers?... Well, I'm relieved."

To Krone and Dill behind us, we don't know what we're talking about.

All I could tell was that the seedling leaves seemed to shine even more blue.

- Ein's hand touched the seedling tree in the middle.

Then, the seedlings fill the body with Ain's power at once.

The soil thrived back and the fundamentals burst thick.

Guru... and make a noise and the trunk stretches.

And as the seedlings on both sides stretched out to approach the seedlings in the middle, they interacted like three knitted.

"Oh, that...?

One at a time, I was going to make it a little bigger.

That's what I thought, but what I see in my eyes is seedlings that grow together.

It's not what I planned. I was going to do it to see how it went......

"Ein? Um, I thought I'd do it a little slower..."

"Oh, even I said I was going to do that! It's just that... I'm getting too motivated..."

"Too much momentum... I think it's huge"

Ain looked at the seedlings of the Baltic Buckthorn that crossed into one bottle.

No, it's already weird height to say seedlings.

Visually, maybe about 10 meters? It is no longer an exaggeration when it comes to Oki.

... but

"But Dear Ein, Seems like enough fruit for the purpose."

Let the golden body hair sweep, Dill said.

"Really. Krone, how about this?

"... yeah. If we can get as much as this, we can probably figure it out..."

Even so, one tree is not enough.

One by one, Ain needs to grow. But fruit is abundant.

"- Oh, it's falling"

Then one woodchuck fell into Ain's hand.

Maybe you gave it to me? It fell beautifully on hand. Seeing that, Ain thanked the tree.

"Isn't this too big?

Hold a wooden beard that has fallen in one hand and offer it to Krone and Dill.

Normally, it should be about the size of a fingertip. However, this fruit is likely to be large.

It reflected light brightly and was vibrantly red.

Then, the sweet and sour aroma drifts around.

"If it's big and big, I've never been over it."

"No, well... it is."

It is this anomaly that Ein wanted to convey, but Krone is just more satisfied with the results than expected.

Dill, on the other hand, looks at the wood with an admired look.

Then... And with his mouth, Ain pulled his sword out of his waist.

"Both of you. Go ahead."

Ein divides the wooden meat into three equal parts and hands it to Krone and Dill.

When I cut it, the intense aroma was further enhanced.

"... I think this would taste unpleasant even for aristocrats. I was wondering if Lalalua would be pleased."

Dill said. Ain't relieved by that word.

But Krone is just sitting there chewing on the wooden beard.

"Um, Krone? It would be helpful if you could tell me what you think..."

But she still doesn't say a word.

But all of a sudden when I grab Ain's clothes sleeve, I go up and stare at Ain.

"Uh?

What's the matter? Ain asks with his eyes.

As the warm sun descended from the clear sky, Ain waited quietly for Krone to answer something.

"- Huh..."

Suddenly, a breathtaking voice leaked out of Krone's mouth.

It's not the usual Rin voice like hers, it's colorful as if it's flattering.

Then Dill reads the air aggressively,

"Dear Ein. I'll carry the water, won't I!

Due to a large grown balt, Dill ran off to fetch water.

... somehow I get so sorry.

"Oh..."

"Oh?"

I thought I finally uttered the word, that's a word for 'oh'.

But she slowly went on to say,

"Oh... it was delicious...!

"Uh, what's been quiet... so?

- Cochlear.

And Krone nodded quietly.

That face was shattered and so delicious. and tells Ain.

(No way, Krone, maybe)

Ain realized there was.

Think of it, that when choosing a tree to bear fruit, this was left to Krone.

"Could it be a krone, Woodchuck...... you like it?

It seems that Baltic was chosen for a particular reason.

It can also be expected that many fruits will be picked and the fruits will be larger.

Moreover, it has cold resistance that does not die even in extremely cold lands.

... maybe that's the reason for the postponement.

Looking at Krone tilting her neck like she was in trouble, Ain asked again.

"I think Baltic was a good choice. That's because we all admit it... so I was wondering what Krone's preferences were... and I wanted you to tell me."

It is true that it was a good choice. So I won't say any more details anyway.

Whether this is her preference or not. I have to ask that.

Ein was annoyed by the mysterious sense of responsibility.

"Yikes... you don't have to bully me..."

"You're not bullying me...... So, what do you say?

Where nothing is wrong, you won't have a choice if you include your preferences, he said.

I guess I don't have to light it up. Ain had a bitter laugh.

"... Ki"

"- I'm sorry, I didn't hear you, so could you say it again?

"It is... so... I love it...!

Crone spoke as she grabbed Ain's clothing sleeve, dyeing her face red.

Well, I thought I saw a new world.

How could you be frustrated by a sudden sense of responsibility? This is the moment when the reason is revealed.

Hearing a rather destructive word right beside him, Ain answers Krone with one, gentle look.

"I want to share it with the people at the mansion, so why don't we pick some more? … so let's eat slowly in the room"

Today, Ain learned Krone's favorite thing.

I never thought it would be such a delightful dish.

...... Krone then rejoices in Ein's words.

Krone cheeked happily with a full grin when he ate the newly taken wooden meal in his room.

I'm sure she was ashamed that her preferences were reflected when she said it was her job.

This is due to her sense of responsibility…, Ein guesses.

Whatever it was, I could have one that was going to be a specialty.

We have to work hard from now on. When Ain made a strong decision in his heart, he put his thoughts to the future of Strom.
