Chapter 147: 148

Chapter 148 - Pasture Area

"By the way, what happened to the goats?"

"Ars-niisan, it's fine to try things on the spur of the moment, but you have to anticipate the outcome a little more before you act. I had a hard time with the goats, until the problem was solved."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's unusual for Kyle to get angry."

"I can't help it. We've had a lot of complaints about them jumping on top of houses."

"That must have been tough to deal with... But you haven't received any complaints about that, now, have you? What happened?"

"There's been a lot of trouble in Barcania," he said. "I brought all the cows into the central district within the inner walls. We're putting them together in the Valkyrie stables."

"In the Valkyrie stables? Are they all right?"

"Yeah. Apparently, the Valkyries can tell when a goat is about to 「Leap」. It seems that the Valkyries were shooting at the goats that tried to jump unnecessarily."

"Oh, they are firing 「Shotgun」?　You're not going to say that the problem is solved because all the goats are dead, are you?"

"Of course not. The Valkyries seemed to be paying attention to the damage. But maybe it was because they had been shot at repeatedly with 「Shotgun」, or maybe it was because they knew they wouldn't be harmed if they were quiet, but the goats seem to be quiet when they are with the Valkyries."

"The goats seem to be quiet when a Valkyrie is with them. ...... So the Valkyries have the goats in tow? They're like a superior being..."

Apparently, the goats we sent to Barcania were living quietly when they were with the Valkyries, as their unnecessary jumping around was indeed a big problem in the city.

　The goats themselves have a quiet personality, but there is something about them.

　Such an animal leaps to a height of several meters and lands on the ground.

　No one could say that a human being would not be crushed at that moment.

　I hadn't thought about the possibility of accidents at all.

　It seems I was lucky that the worst of it hadn't happened, and that it had stopped at the level of simple complaints from city residents.

　If the goats had caused bodily harm, it might have been troublesome.

"But what are you going to do now, Ars-nii? You're going to raise the goats, aren't you?"

"Hmm? I'm planning to, but what's wrong with that? You think you can raise them with the Valkyries?"

"When there are only a few, yes, but when there are more, what are you going to do? I'm not sure if it's a good idea to keep  beasts in the central district where the Barcan Castle is located."

"That's right when you say that .... Okay, do you want me to take this opportunity to cultivate the land up north? And for what it's worth, I didn't develop it at all."

Certainly, Kyle was right, we can't afford to have more goats in the central district, where the work on the territory should be done.

　If that's the case, let's build a place like a farm.

　If we build a place dedicated to raising goats, surrounded by walls to prevent them from escaping, there would be no damage to the residents.

　With this in mind, I decided to explore the forests that spread north of Barcania for the first time in a long time.

　This is the first time in a long time that I have been able to cultivate the forests north of Barcania.

　Originally, there was a forest to the north of Fontana City, and one of the villages that had been created in an effort to cultivate it was Barca Village, where I was born.

　However, the forest was home to dangerous creatures, and the area that had once been cleared was now being encroached upon by the forest again, and it was all I could do to maintain it.

　The person who changed that situation was me, after all.

　I'm still a child, but from an even younger age, I used my own magic to open up the forest and expand the land.

　Thanks to this, I became enemies with the nobles who governed the land, but that's okay.

　As a result, I succeeded in acquiring a vast amount of land and built a walled citadel called Barcania.

　A large city surrounded by a wall about four kilometers on each side.

　That's Barcania, where I live.

　At the time, however, it wasn't the 4km square of land that I cultivated.

　I merely built a wall of four kilometers on each side within the land I had cultivated.

　In other words, there are several kilometers more of land cleared using「Leveling」 outside the wall.

　This land outside the wall of Barcania belongs to me, but I don't use it because it's used to kill the giant boars that come out of the forest.

　The big boars that come out of the forest are difficult for ordinary people to hurt, and they can uproot and devour the crops in the fields.

　In the past, the amount of land that had been cleared had been reduced because of them.

　But now, the mounted Valkyrie cavalry have succeeded in killing the giant boars as soon as they are found.

　I'll have to expand this land a little further and build a new wall to make a pasture.

　In fact, this work wouldn't have progressed much without my help.

　The trees are firmly rooted in the ground, but I have the means to loosen the soil and pull out the roots with my magic.

　If you can't use magic to cultivate trees like I do, you have to use an axe to cut down the trees one by one, dig up the soil around the stump, and then pull a rope around the stump to pull out the roots.

　If you have the magic [Leveling], you can level the ground with stumps and rocks all together, but it still takes time to cut the trees.

　It's easy to say "cultivate," but it's a lot harder and more time-consuming than you might think for someone other than me to do it.

　However, I was able to complete this task at a fairly fast pace.

　My magic and the presence of many Valkyries must have been a big factor.

　I pulled the trees out by the roots, and the Valkyries dragged them into Barcania.

　One after another, they felled the trees, and after that, they [Leveled] the ground.

　Then, when the land had expanded to some extent, they surrounded it with walls.

　In this way, a newly expanded walled ranch area was created on the north tip of Barcania.
