chapter 64: New land



 

“Your Majesty, I am coming in.”

 

After Edenstam left, a female guardsman opened the door and spoke to Olivia.

 

“Ahh, I am tired.”

 

While receiving reports from the Imperial Guards, Olivia takes off her dress.

Her speech and behavior are totally different from the saint that appears in the myth. However, the Imperial Guard is not surprised because she is one of the few who know Olivia's true nature.

 

“Geez, I hope grandpa would not come so suddenly.”

 

While complaining, Olivia takes out a bunch of paper that is stuffed under the bed. It is an unfinished story written by Olivia, who is neglecting political affairs. Even if it seems like this, she is one of the popular novelists on the public. “Her temporary form is a Queen who is hiding from the world. But her true appearance is a mysterious romance novelist Olive Olive” that is why Olivia always talks normally with the Imperial Guards.

 

“However, can you keep going like this forever?”

 

The Imperial Guard was worried about Olivia and gave advice, so she does not work too hard. However, without turning her eyes to the Imperial Guard, Olivia shakes one of her hands and said.

 

“I know, I know. I know it the best. I will not do anything unnecessary since it would not be funny if someone aims at my life.”

 

The royal family has a short life span. Many people have been killed in their early days before they can accomplish anything. Olivia is familiar with it. Olivia herself had experience of being poisoned in the past.

 

Since the poison almost took her life, Olivia has lived in cowardice. By raising orphans who seems like they will not survive the next day, they become Imperial Guards to return her favor and will never betray her. Her meals are made by them. Since she became a queen, she does not get involved in any of the government affairs and left everything to Edenstam who is the most suited for this, as a result she doesn't have any political enemies. As a matter of fact, even though she can’t speak out beyond a certain degree, but she can’t leave it alone like this too.

 

‘If people come to learn about this, I should descend from the Queen position quickly’ she thought. However, that will not work. Her relatives in the inner palace are not able to do anything other than live in luxury. If they held the Kingdom, then the Kingdom's current situation will worsen. If a rebellion occurred, Olivia herself will be implicated by her relatives and will be executed together.

 

The Kingdom is already on its death bed. The national finances are extremely pitiful, and accordingly, the local feudal lords were strengthened. Even the once prosperous Dryad Kingdom will perish. However, what Olivia can only do now is try to delay the Kingdom's collapse slowly. Besides her responsibility as a Queen, Olivia needs to worry about her own life above all.

 

“Then, today, I will write more! The readers are waiting for my novel!”

 

To strike the anxiety and conflict in her heart, Olivia takes her brush and starts writing again today. Using a cheap paper, Olivia becomes a pioneer of the new profession of Novelist Queen. Someday she will become a famous literary in the literature circle.

 

 

Two carriages with hood left the Dryad Kingdom Imperial City Dorisben to the north. I am riding in one of them.

 

Let me describe a little bit about what has happened so far. After going through a tremendous distance, we arrived safely to the Dryad Kingdom from the Kingdom of Sandra. After I bought the territory in Dorisben, I became a noble of Dryad Kingdom. And now I am heading to the place where the wolf tribe is hiding before we set out toward my territory.

  

The coachman and escort of the carriage are people from wolf tribe who covered their body with a cloth to hide the fact that they are a beastman. Also, Elsa, who changed into traveling clothes, was riding in the carriage.

 

“This place is quite warm. The temperature is nice and cool. I would never have thought we are in summer.”

 

Elsa who is sitting in the front muttered while looking outside from the raised curtain. In response to that voice, I look at Elsa. Elsa still looking at outside views.

 

“Yeah”

 

Without paying attention, my eyes were pinned at the front. Elsa's face from the side is quite beautiful. I am fascinated.

 

Thinking about it, Elsa's figure in the dress and behavior that I saw back in Dorisben made my heart skip a beat. She is like a young lady from somewhere. I think the word ‘Beautiful’ is well matched to a woman like her.

 

While I imagined her figure at that time, I look at Elsa who is in front of me.

Then, Elsa, who seems to have noticed my gaze turned her face towards me. I reflexly turned to the side. At the moment when I turned, I thought ‘That was close!’. Thinking about it, I feel like my behavior is like a little kid and regretted it. Aah, I understand. From the corner of my eyes, Elsa is grinning.

 

“What is it, no need to be shy, you can take a look for as long as you like you know? Since there is a beautiful girl right in front of you, it is something natural. I myself am aware of it. It is the fate of a beautiful girl.”

 

Elsa laughed while teasing me. Accordingly, the wolf tribe tries not to look towards this place. It’s embarrassing. I felt my face get hotter. Even so, I can’t think that she is the same person as the one in Dorisben. Somehow, she became unrefined.

 

“Hmm.... I see.... Fujiwara-san has also become a victim of my beauty. I am really a sinful woman.”

 

Elsa starts to praise herself with a smug face. It is true that I am charmed while looking at her, but when she kept talking about it, it's annoying. I think like I should retort back a little bit.

 

“......Small wrinkles”

 

[ED: *facepalms*]

 

I mumbled. When my muttering reaches her, she seems to understand what I meant. Elsa's face became tense.

 

“.....I became worried because there is a fine line next to Elsa's eyes.”

 

“Wha!?”

 

A surprised voice comes out from Elsa's mouth. At that time, the wolf tribe gaze moved to Elsa's eyes.

 

“Wh, what are you saying! A beautiful girl like me does not have any wrinkles!!”

 

Elsa angry voice echoed through the peaceful plain. Her face becomes red, like the color of her hair. ‘Alright, I have retorted back’ As for me I am full of satisfaction. Rather, what is a beautiful girl? You are already over twenty years old.

 

After that, Elsa, who is angry eventually no longer opened her mouth. Thinking about it, it was awful. I decided to give a skin lotion and ask for forgiveness later.

 

The carriage comes out from the highway and moves towards a trackless path. There are no signs of people around. Eventually, when they came upon a shadow of the hill, several people start to appear. They are the wolf tribe people who were hiding here. Of course, Mireille is also here.

 

“How is it?”

 

Mireille asked when I got off the carriage.

 

“Aah, we were able to purchase the territory without a problem. Now I have become a member of the nobility.”

 

“With this, I will finally be able to fulfill my role.”

 

I took out the sheet of parchment proudly, and Mireille nodded satisfied.

 

We wait until the night before we switch from the carriage to vehicle and leave. Elsa and Mireille part away when it is bright. Elsa does not have leisure time either. Since he finished what had to be done, she had to get back to her business as soon as possible. Mireille followed as Elsa's escort. She also had to report it to the castle. No, perhaps it is out of consideration. I was avoiding using my ability in the public. When I build the town, I cannot let them see what I can do with it. Perhaps she is aware of what I hate, and that there is no way to look at the details of how my ability works, and that is why she returned? That is what I thought.

 

At the time of parting, I handed a skin lotion to the two of them. And then Elsa got angry. It seems like she thought I was insinuating her wrinkles. When I apologized and said I did not plan to do so, she received it — followed by Mireille.

 

[TL: SK-II is a good skin care product.]

 

The car goes through the darkness of the night. Before long we entered my territory――Fujiwara territory, we headed towards the opposite side where the human village is located. The first thing is to create a new town that will be our base.

 

The human village should be managed by a human. Apart from the current village, I will make a hidden village, a wolf tribe town. From Mireille's knowledge as a soldier and Elsa's shrewd knowledge as a merchant, he had already chosen a place. There is a place where he would build a new town.

 

After entering my territory, I do not need to worry about other people's eyes. We move under the bright sunshine. However, in order not to leave a wheel track, the vehicles were driven on the grass surface as much as possible. After passing through the big forest, there is a river blocking their way, so he [Purchase] [Bridge] and then [Sell] it later.

 

It is something I thought. In the northern part of the Dryad Kingdom, there are many plains in this continent. Dragon’s horn. If it is in the previous world, this would be Denmark.

 

I investigate a little bit about Denmark during the breaks. Despite the fact that its location is further north than Hokkaido, Japan in latitude wise, the climate is quite mild. Even though it is quite cool in summer, it is not too cold when it is winter. It is said that it is because of the warm current flowing along the coast.

 

Then what about this world? I have heard the story in Dorisben. There is no change in the summer because it is quite cool. However, it is said that it is very cold in winter. The map shows there is a mountain range painted along the coast. Perhaps this mountain range was blocking the warm air coming from the sea.

 

A mountain is generally something that is referred to as a land that is at least 200 meters higher than the surrounding area. In Denmark, there are only flats of land with nothing that can be called a mountain. However, in this world. It would be that.

 

Finally, we located our destination. It is a Hill situated between the east and north. With a big forest in the south. Even if I build a town here, it can’t be seen from the surrounding area. Stopping the vehicle, I instructed everyone to disembark.

 

“Is it here?”

 

Chief Jiharu asked. When Mireille and Elsa were still around, he did not talk too much and only spoke when it was necessary. I wonder if the Chief is trying to be careful.

 

“Yes, that is right.”

 

I answered with formal speech. Even now, I still using a formal speech when I speak to Chief Jiharu. It has become something natural.

 

After some times, all of the wolf tribes finally came down from the car and started looking around. Of course, there is still nothing by grass spreading everywhere. The wolf tribe people are puzzled. It does not feel real when I said this is our destination.

 

But, for me, I had a thought that ’we are finally here’. It has been a long journey since we left the old town. We will start over again here.

 

Thinking about my purpose, it is to live a modern and lazy life in this world.

It is still the same, even now. However, currently, I have a strong feeling to make them, who did not betray me, happy.

 

I have a vision. When I thought about the failure in the previous town, it is evident that the problem was only me alone who reigned over them. For example, if I am the mayor, there are no officers under me, that is why each tribe lived their life with some autonomy right.

 

Whether I have the capacity or not, I need to restrict it. This time, I will walk together with them as a partner and nurture it. I need a companion who has the same vision for the town. That is why I――

 

“I think I will let them see it.”

 

I summoned [Town Data] and operate it. Then, the mud starts to rise up in front of me. A town is being created.

 

“Ooh....”

 

A voice of admiration comes out from Chief Jiharu. The noisy sound created by Wolf Tribe was being covered by the sound of mud rising up slowly.
