Chapter 310
As the cherry blossom falls, I recall that I can also grow plum trees .
Pickled plum, plum wine .
Yeah, I completely forgot .
Even if I plant it now, the harvest will be several years away .
I thought that it would have been better if I had raised it sooner but then, it might be good if I enjoy it after a few years .
Village Five seems to have unexpected guests .
The first group is a group of Korin priests .
I heard that they were important-looking priests .
It was Youko who dealt with them .
They said a lot of things but their main purpose is that they want permission to build a church in Village Five .
Though there is already a church, since I told her that everyone is free to choose and exercise their religion, Youko permitted them to do so .
The problem starts there .
The priests demand the transfer of the Village Five"s church, the one that has currently been built, to them instead of building their own .
Youko rejected it .
「There is freedom of religion in our village . If you want to build a church, you can do so . But do that with your own money . 」
The priests got angry because of that and threatened to turn her to Korin religion"s enemy .
If it were me, I would have been angry but Youko responded with a smile back then .
「I apologize if I"m being rude . I"m not that familiar with religions . I"m sorry . That"s right, about the church . You should talk with the people of the church to solve it . Whatever the result is, I"ll accept it with both hands . 」
The priests, who took her words as favoring the transfer of the church, enthusiastically rushed to the church .
What awaits them are the holy maiden Celes and Fushu .
Fushu is there for inspection . She"s checking if the priests she recommended are doing well .
I know about it .
She came to Big Tree Village with ancestor-san to say h.e.l.lo .
She was then guided by Celes to Village Five using the teleportation gate .
And yes, Youko knows that Fushu was coming .
She was with the two when they went to Village Five .
I don"t know what kind of discussion was held in the church but the priests left Village Five .
They all seemed to be holding their side with painful expressions… . .
「Did Fushu hit them?」
「I swear to G.o.d that I did not hit or did something that can be considered as an a.s.sault to them . 」
She"s not lying but why is she so imposing?
Since that is the truth, what exactly happened?
The holy maiden Celes is drinking alcohol with the wine slime .
No way .
Yeah, I"m sure their stomach is only not feeling right .
A divine punishment perhaps .
Let"s say that"s what happened .
The reason I was able to know the situation in detail is because, during dinner, the civil servant girls and the mercuries Loch and Nana did a reenactment play .
It was pretty good .
I"m glad that the civil servant girls can now afford to do something else .
Recruiting civil officers in Village Five seems to be working well .
It looks like you will be able to take it easy if you can leave them all the work but only in things related to Village Five .
Vitality returns in the eyes of the mercuries Miyo and Futa .
It"s great .
It looks like there are various things we need to know about Korin religion .
「Korin religion is an organization that manages the state of religion and not people"s beliefs . Korin religion is a collection of religions . 」
Fushu, who is having dinner with me, told me so .
「Your own belief is as important as others . If you agree with that idea, you can call yourself as part of Korin religion no matter what kind of G.o.d you believe in . 」
I remember ancestor-san"s explanation before .
「However, Korin religion will not tolerate something like surrendering a church . I already memorize their faces and names . Their future will be dark . 」
Fushu"s face is scary .
Ancestor-san, help… . . it seems like he hasn"t come back from the hot spring yet .
Is he tired?
The next unexpected guests are a group of dwarves .
There are many dwarves in Village Five but their hair color is clearly different from them .
There are about 30 of them and all of them are wearing high-quality armor .
Youko was the one who dealt with them like the previous one .
The group of dwarves declares that they will meet Youko .
「I heard that this village makes armor using precious magic iron powder . Hand that magic iron powder to us . 」
Magic iron power is a precious mineral collected from the rock part that was attached to the sun castle .
Part of it was made into weapons in Big Tree Village and sold to Village Five .
「Do you hope to purchase?」
「No! Magic iron powder can"t be handled by an immature person . Excellent materials should be handed to excellent people . 」
「Hand it over…is that you mean?」
「Yeah」
Youko beat the group of dwarves and hammer them into the prison .
It seems like they were beaten so badly that they can"t even talk .
「They were bragging about their weapons so I crushed them one by one in front of them . 」
The scene in which Youko beat the group of dwarves was not reenacted so she explains it while laughing .
Youko will surely be fine but don"t do anything crazy .
And… . there was a prison?
「We built one . 」
It seems like the north slope is rarely hit with sunlight .
And there are also a number of minor offenses in Village Five .
Violence, vandalism, threats, extortion… .

Those indeed need to be punished .
There"s no one like that in Big Tree Village but there are many people in Village Five .
That kind of crime will inevitably happen .
It"s a relief that no serious crimes have occurred yet .
And should I be glad there was a place to throw that group of dwarves to?
Wait a minute, can we just throw them in the prison?
Will there be no problem?
We don"t only have the power to levy taxes but enforcement and judicial power too .
「So, when are you going to release them?」
「I want them to stay there for 1000 days but the people of Village Five have eyes too . I think about ten days . With regards to that, may I borrow an inferno wolf or a demon spider?」
「What are you going to do?」
「Nothing . All they have to do is wait in front of the prison as a lookout . 」
I see .
Of course, I won"t lend them to you .
What will you do if the kuro or the spiderling have an unpleasant experience in the prison?
In addition, demon king and Beezel have asked not to bring a kuro or a spiderling in Village Five .
If it is not a matter of life and death, I won"t give my consent .
「Mou, you"re cold . 」
「Do you lack guards?」
「Yeah . In addition, the prison guards are very radical . 」
「Radical?」
「Perhaps they feel too indebted to Village Five . They treat the prisoners harshly . 」
「… . are they going too far?」
「Not yet . However… . . I can"t let my guard down since they might caught me off guard . They even think that what they are doing is righteous . 」
「Ah… . . 」
I"m glad that they think Village Five is important but I don"t think they should be aggressive to those who don"t think so .
「Why don"t I speak with those prison guards?」
I was laughed at saying that it was counterproductive .
I don"t think that issue is something to be laughed at .
In any case, it seems like the dwarves are reflecting so they might be released earlier .
The third group was a group of elves .
There are 10 of them .
Although they are lightly dressed, all of them are armed . Their representative is a male elf .
Youko dealt with them too .
The story about the elves" party is simple .
Adventurers are exterminating monsters and demon beasts left and right around Village Five .
As a result, monsters and demon beasts move to other places .
Some of the migrating monsters have attacked the elven village .
It seems like they want us to take responsibility .
「I see . I understand what you"re trying to say . 」

「Is that so? Then how do you plan to take responsibi… . 」
「Hold on . Before anything else, let me try to confirm something . What evidence do you have to prove that the attack of the monsters in your village is related to Village Five?」
「Evidence?」
「Yes, evidence . 」
「There"s no way there"s any . 」
「Then, you can"t say that our village is the cause . Who knows if it was the effect of something else? Given that, we can"t do anything regarding your concern . 」
「Even if there"s no evidence, it is clear that the actions of this village have caused trouble to our village!」
「Even though you don"t have evidence? That"s only your one-sided belief . 」
「b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Do you despise the elven race?」
「What do you mean by despise? Rushing towards us in a group but can"t show any evidence, you"ll only get hurt if you continue to live like that . 」
「Let"s have a serious match!」
「Start anytime you want, I"ll take you on . 」
「… . . do you mean to say that no matter what happen, you won"t take responsibility?」
「Given the present situation, you are just making false charges . 」
「It is not a false charge . This village rooted out monsters around it that"s why the monsters came to our village . 」
「Yesterday, the chickens of our village did not lay eggs . It is because some group of elves from some village came here arrogantly . Take responsibility . Though I don"t have any evidence, it is clearly related to you . Will you apologize to our village?」
「What kind of stupid thing are you saying? That"s clearly nonsense . 」
「Really? But that"s exactly how your logic works . 」
「Are you making fun of us?」
「No, we are only talking normally . What"s the name of the monster that attacked your village?」
「Why ask suddenly?」
「Answer my question, what"s the name of the monster that attacked your village?」
「…… . we don"t know its name . It"s a turtle-like monster that has a big sh.e.l.l . 」
「I see, you don"t even know . Is it strong?」
「Strong . 」
「Is it fast?」
「Slow . 」
「What does it eat?」
「Trees . It has eaten several trees that we elves cherish . 」
「How many?」
「One . 」
「I see . Is that the only monster that has attacked your village?」
「Yes . 」
「Have you subjugated it?」
「Y-yes」
「Is that so? Then, it"s no longer there . How far is your village from our village? How many days have you spent traveling?」
「Five days」
「Really? I heard it should be seven days . It is faster than I thought . 」
「If you already know the location of our village then don"t ask . 」
「I only wanted to hear it from your own lips . After all, those lips were the source of your false charges . If the monster really moved because of us, there"s no way there would only be one . In addition, the adventurers are exterminating only carnivorous monsters and demon beasts . If it is a herbivore, they will leave it alone . They won"t take a risk just drive a herbivore away . 」

「But…」
「If you have really defeated the monster, sending two or three of you is enough . Now, why did you come here in a group of 10? Are you that free? I don"t think so . You were the one who was tasked by your village to defeat the monster . However, you came straight here and made some silly false charges… . . In short, you have not able to beat the monster yet . If you want us to help, kneel . 」
「And boy, learn how to suppress your emotion a little more . If the other party can see your impatience, it will not become a negotiation . 」
「I"m not a boy . Even though I look young, I have lived for 200 years . 」
「Then, be a little smarter . Don"t grow old in vain . Maa, that hurts my ear too . 」
After that, the group of elves changed their att.i.tude and officially requested the monster extermination .
So that"s what happened .
「They probably wanted to borrow Village Five"s strength but don"t want to pay any . 」
He made those false charges in hope of Village Five voluntarily subjugating the monster .
It was their mistake when they said that they"ve defeated it .
They should have come honestly rather than annoy us with false charges .
So, did you send a subjugation force from Village Five?
「The lizardman and the beastman who always come to Village Five took command with pleasure . 」
Ah…Daga and Gulf huh .
「They commanded Pirika and her fellow disciples along with some adventurers . It became a decent force . They probably won"t lose . 」
「Probably won"t lose? Is the opponent an unknown monster?」
「No, I know it . It is a monster called goo turtle . It has high defensive power but its offensive power is not that much . Though it makes strange attacks, if you are careful, you will be able to deal with it . I"ve already informed Pirika . 」
「… . You pretended to not know anything to the elves?」
「If I said that I know about it, they"ll probably ask us to take care of it for them immediately . 」
Indeed .
「What happened to the elves?」
「Half of them became the guide . As for the other half, I had them go to a certain place as payment . 」
「Payment?」
「Yeah, it is not good to work for free . 」
She asked them to go to the dwarves" hometown to ask them to pick up the dwarves from prison .
I see .
However, the number of unexpected guests continued to grow .
And to my surprise, there were even three groups of unexpected guests that came on a certain day… .
Village Five, it looks like everything will be alright if I entrust it to Youko .
She dealt with them brilliantly .
「During the old times, I used to be something like a ruler . 」
Reliable .
I look forward to your continuous support in the future .
Ah, I"ll count on Loch and Nana too .
Hih is… . . since the manpower of Village Five has increased, he"s house-sitting .
I"ll just send him a message to do his best .
