Avalanches aren’t just about snow.
If you have time on your side, you can get results even if you don’t do anything.
When thinking about strategy …… you should aim for this rather than something cool like a one-shot comeback.
In the first place, I myself do not have the guts to put everything into a one-shot comeback.
Basically, I am a chicken-hearted person.
The group of Magali the ill-natured old woman migrated to the area.
As expected, the two guards who came last time were the first to arrive.
They seemed to be surprised that Magali was still alive.
But then they talked for a while and seemed to be convinced.
After talking with them, Magali called me over and smirked at me.
“You should be happy. The winged one wants to come to here, too.”
I wasn’t expecting that.
According to Magali the ill-natured old woman, the cat tribe was the only one floating around.
Maybe they’ve been working together.
“That’s quite easy.”
“Well …… how much do you think winged ones did you scare, boy?”
Don’t you usually walk? We’ll have to solve that mystery later.
“We’ll welcome them, whatever it is. Is the messenger coming with you?”
“Yes, he’s here by himself. Would you like to meet him?”
It’s strange that he’s alone, but …….
I have no reason to refuse.
But I can’t do that first.
“Of course. But first, let me say hello to the people who have moved here.”
Magali the ill-natured old woman laughed with a curious look on her face.
""
“You’re very disciplined, aren’t you, boy. Oh well, get on with it already.”
No, I’m not disciplined or anything.
If I give the impression that they’ve been neglected, it’ll end up being trouble later.
It’s only natural that those who have been confirmed would take precedence over those who haven’t been confirmed.
I don’t feed the fish I catch.
I don’t like that attitude, and it’s not an effective way to look at the future.
The greeting went easily.
After all, it seemed that Magali the ill-natured old woman was well respected by the group.
The Ministry of Immigration will be in charge of the immigration.
Those who have knowledge and skills in fishing will be assigned to Joseph Paoli’s Fisheries Department.
We need to look into improving the fishing industry.
After making some announcements about the children, I decided to head to the reception room.
◆◇◆◇◆
Today’s escorts, Ramiro Rio and Kiara, are following me.
After I got married, Kiara stopped coming to my room.
In the meantime, Kiara has started to follow me around on political matters.
It seems to be the result of a discussion with Mil.
I don’t want to complicate things by saying unnecessary things, so I’ll leave that to her.
I’ve also asked Mil to take overall charge of the immigration process.
Kiara looked up at me with a wry smile.
“Brother, you don’t have time to relax, huh?”
“I guess so. But the people who were suddenly visited by a large number of wild boars must have been even more upset.”
Ramiro laughed.
“Milord is really an incomprehensible man, using wild boars as soldiers.”
I didn’t do it willingly.
The bill will definitely be high.
I have to be prepared for it.
Waiting for me in the reception room was a winged woman in her early twenties.
She looked like an albino.
She had white hair and red eyes.
Her unhealthy white skin was impressive.
She had an air of transience about her and was extremely beautiful.
If she were in a anime or video game, she would be a legitimate goddess.
(T/N: So it’s a woman.)
The woman bowed to me.
“My name is Ardelheid Streichwerda. I would like to thank you for meeting me.”
I introduced myself and asked her to take a seat.
“My name is Alfred Della Scala, the feudal lord. Let’s hear what we can do for you.”
Ardelheid began to speak with a tense expression.
“Old woman Magali told me that you do not consider the recent attack a crime. Is that true?”
Is it really that strange ……
“It’s true.”
Perhaps she had been told beforehand, but she didn’t seem surprised there.
Ardelheid bowed again.
“327 people of the winged tribes. We would like to be accepted as part of Lord Alfred’s affiliate.”
There was no reason to refuse.
“Of course, you are welcome. I’m sure you’ve heard of the conditions that you have to meet.”
“Yes.”
“Now, let’s talk about the method of immigration. I guess you won’t be able to fly with your luggage, will you?”
I’ve never heard of the winged tribe transporting anything.
“Yes, because we don’t know where we can’t fly …… If possible, I would like to use the ship that old woman Magali is using and join them.”
Mmmmmm, is it that traumatic? I remember that Magali said that it scared them.
It seems that we hit the vital point without realizing it.
“May I ask you something?”
“Yes, of course.”
“Are you so afraid that you won’t be able to fly?”
Ardelheid stiffened for a moment.
“T-That’s …… of course. There are places where you can fly without being aware of it, and then suddenly you can’t. It’s very frightening.”
It seems that it was more powerful than I thought.
I did not anticipate that much, though.
“I’m sorry. I’ll explain to you about not being able to fly once you’ve been relocated.”
After Ardelheid nodded, she began to squirm.
This strange sexiness.
A normal man would fall in love with her.
I have a bad feeling about this, but I’ll ask her.
“Is there anything else?”
“Ah …… Yes. If it’s okay with you, Lord Alfred. I was hoping you could keep me close.”
I knew it’d come.
It was a very beautiful messenger, so I was expecting it.
But…
“Is that your idea? Or was it decided through a discussion with your tribe?”
Ardelheid was at a loss for words for a moment.
“I-It was my idea. Is it possible that you don’t like me ……”
I’m sure it was decided by her tribe anyway.
In fact, it was annoying.
“No, you are very attractive. However, I’m married, and I can’t see any other woman but my wife.”
I guess she had expected this answer.
There are many cases where a man refuses once in a social situation.
Ardelheid was not upset.
“Please, could you include me in your sight?”
If I refuse badly, it will complicate things.
But …… I have no intention of sharing a bed with any woman other than Mil.
And Kiara’s Noh mask-like expression is even scarier.
“If I were a man without a lover, I would be very happy. I have made a vow to myself that I will not embrace any woman other than my wife.”
That’s an honest and untrue statement.
I’m a man myself, and it’s not that I don’t like being wooed by a very beautiful woman.
But with two women plus Kiara, I don’t think I can balance it out.
What’s more, I can’t make Mil sad.
I stopped Ardelheid from saying anything.
“If I am to hold more than one woman …… I will have to allow my wife to be embraced by more than one man. Even if I look like this, I’m a very possessive person. So I want to have my wife all to myself.”
At this point, Kiara opened her mouth for the first time.
“No woman would fall in love with your brother at first sight. He’s too plain, after all. I’m sure you want to serve my brother and improve your position to your tribe. There is a sure way to do that.”
Kiara …… Plain is too much.
And what are you going to say?
Ardelheid took a bite out of her words.
“I’d love to hear about it.”
“If you are a secretary, you can help with political affairs. It’s much more certain than trying to get a position as a mistress or concubine.”
Ardelheid seemed to realize that …… this is as far as she can go.
“So, would you be willing to let me serve you as your secretary?”
I can’t say no to that ……
“Yes, secretarial work is very busy, so it would be very helpful.”
After that, we went over the details of the migration.
At last, I was in a position where women were coming to me.
I was fed up with it.
Avalanches aren’t just about snow.
If you have time on your side, you can get results even if you don’t do anything.
