Chapter 161: 163

Announcement Minor change: Rion (Lilina's Bro) will now be Leon. I think I translated it as Rion and now I've finally realized that the author was trying to say Leon...

Chapter 163 - Temporary Dispatching Business.

"Hey Ars, I heard about the dispatch to Fort Einrad. Of course, I'll go!"

"You've got quick ears, Baito-nii. But I was thinking of sending Vargas, who is acquainted with Lord Peter, to the Fortress."

"What are you talking about, Ars? Of course, I'm going! I'm not leaving here until you give me permission."

"What's the matter, niisan? You're being very stubborn today. What's wrong?"

"What's wrong with me? You and Kyle have built your own families! I'll lose my dignity as a brother! It's time for me to show my manly side!"

"I think Baito-nii is doing a great job, though. It's not like I'm dispatching soldiers to go to the fortress to fight. Do you really understand that, niisan?"

"It's just a pretext, right? We can't just go and make bricks and call it a day, can we?"

"That's not wrong, but fighting is not the main thing. Well, okay. Let me explain something to you."

　He must have heard about the dispatch of the Barca soldiers that I spoke to Peter about.

　My brother came forward and said he would go himself.

　But it seems that he is ready to fight.

　The request for Barca's help for Fort Einrad was based on Peter's decision.

　He was probably thinking of the possibility that the Uruk family, which had been quiet last year in order to heal the damage after the battle, might move.

　So, as Baito-nii said, there is a possibility that there will be a battle.

　I only decided to make some money in this dispatch of personnel from Barca.

　This dispatch to Peter is the first step.

　The purpose of this dispatch is not only for combat activities, but also for non-combat activities.

　In other words, we decided to undertake the improvement of the land.

　Barca Village, where I was born and raised, was pretty bad, but when I was mobilized for the last round of the war and moved around, I saw other places.

　I felt that there was a lot more development that could be done in the Fontana territory.

　In addition to the land that was still unused, the land that was currently being used as farmland could be improved.

　If those who can use Barca's magic are sent to various places to do things like [Leveling], [Soil Improvement], or [Road Laying], there is a possibility that the Fontana territory will develop further.

　At the very least, we will definitely be able to increase the production of food.

　So, I decided I wanted to send Barca's "magicians" to those who wanted to develop the land for a fee.

　Not only would I make money, but the people who own the land there would definitely make money as well.

　In this way, the Fontana territory itself would become even more vibrant.

　I've always thought that even if only the Barca Knights' territory was profitable, there was a high possibility that it would eventually reach its limit.

　However, I can't touch anything other than my own territory without permission.

　Even if it was just to increase the harvest, if we were to modify surrounding land without permission, there would surely be trouble.

　That's why I paid attention to Peter's proposal this time.

　The villages around Fort Einrad had already made some improvements to their farmland last time.

　As long as Peter gave permission, the inhabitants of the area would be able to access the farmland without any hesitation.

　I thought that if the results of my efforts showed up in statistics and actions, other knights with their own territories might call for me to send them some of my workers.

"In other words, you want the people going to Einrad to work on improving the farmland and building roads, right Ars?"

"Yes, that's right. Well, but if they're going to Einrad, of course they need to be able to defend themself and fight. You never know what might happen."

"All right, I understand what you're saying. You got your point across. The other side agreed on that, right?"

"Yes, they did. I've been talking to Peter-dono. The basic idea is to build bricks, improve the farmland in the surrounding villages, and build designated roads."

"Good. I guess we'll just have to do what he says. That's easy, isn't it?"

"Wait a minute, Baito-nii. It's true that their opinion is important when it comes to building roads and such, but don't just do as they say. The only reason I'm sending people is to build bricks and improve the land along with it. If there's a battle and it looks dangerous, I want them to come back."

"What? They're not going to fight?"

"We can fight if they want to, but if it's dangerous, we can withdraw at our own discretion. I'm the head of the Barca family, so I'm the master of my subordinates. The other side does not have any right to give orders to my soldiers. Hmm... If you are going to persist on going, then I will let you go only if you'll act so that Barcan Soldiers do not get any damage."

"...... I see."

"And if you're going to be in charge of the people going, you should learn how to negotiate, niisan. We'll have to decide on the price beforehand, but once you get there, they'll probably ask you to do this and that. At that time, you need to consider the amount of time and effort involved, as well as the degree of danger, and accept the job at an appropriate price. If you sell your ability cheaply or do it for free, they will ask you to do it again, but maybe at a lower rate."

"I'm not good with that kind of hassle."

"Even if you don't like it, you will have to make sure to get it done with, Baito-nii. It might be a good experience for you."

　However, it would be tough to suddenly leave all the work to my brother.

　In the first place, this is the first time I've ever attempted to send off people.

　To be honest, I don't know what the right amount of laborers and price is either.

"Okay, I'll ask Leon to go along with you. He's been with you before, so you two know each other and will be safe, right?"

"Leon. I think we can manage with him. Okay, I get it, Ars. I'll take care of it."

"Really, take it easy on yourself, nii-san. Make sure you listen to what Leon says."

"I know. I'll be fine with him there."

　In spite of some anxiety, I decided to entrust the dispatch of Barca personnel to my brother.

　Well, they won't be leaving until after the snow melts, anyway.

　By then, I'll have worked with everyone to decide on a rough cost for the fee.

　And so a new year began.
