The night when Ray felled trees in the forest of Trent... there were several figures in the guild's warehouse.
　One was a guildmaster worker, the lord of Guillum Dusker, and the alchemist Zumous.
　There are some others, but now they're concentrating on looking at the trees in the warehouse.

"If you look at the magic distribution of this tree, it is better to use the red liquid of Taris here..."
"No, wouldn't blue be better suited to the same turris solution?"
"But there is a problem with the fixation of magical powers..."

　Conversations are taking place everywhere looking at trees that only such alchemists could understand.
　Zumous, too, is probably the work of an alchemist, reporting to Dusker what he found out. They seem to care about the trees and find out they want to check themselves.
　That's why Dusker opens his mouth when he's finished listening to the general explanation.

"Go away. I'll have the exact report heard after I've finished looking into it."
"Thank you!"

　In Dusker's words, Zumous heads down to his fellow alchemists.
　The worker smiles and opens his mouth to Dasker, who is smiling bitterly at his men.

"I'm glad I can use it enough as a building material."
"Oh, ... but even if we were to build an extension of the guillem, we still don't have enough material. where there was some timber, I couldn't have made the wall wood."
"Yes,"

　Workers nod without particular objection to Dusker's words.
　In fact, that's right.
　If guillem is not a frontier, trees from the forest of Trent could be sufficiently extended.
　However, trees are still trees.
　Some monsters use magic and throw up their bracelets.
　... yes, in other words, fire.
　Ray's specialty is the magic of fire, but it doesn't mean he's the only one who can use it.
　No, it could be said that it is common as a means of attack.
　Therefore, even if wooden walls were built, they could be easily burned.
　There was also a problem that trees were perishable.
　The area can be handled to some extent by magic, but it's only to some extent.
　There were many other reasons, and it was only natural that a large number of materials other than wood would be needed to extend the building.

"Then where do you get the materials from?"
"Oh, I'm sure there will be a lot more to do with which business to bring the matter to. I hope it's a good move, but if it's a bad move... a little bit."
"Well, just the other day, Mr. Ray got involved in a dispute inside the Speel Trading Company."
"Oh, the Azot trade was involved,"

　Of course the report was included in Dusker, as it was only the information of the Azot Trading Company, which is one of the largest in the guillem.
　In the first place, it's just a matter of Marina coming to see herself, so she can't pretend to forget it.

"Yes, for the time being, you shouldn't have much to do with this case. If there is another problem after I ask for something, I will also be annoyed."

　I asked them to procure materials, but they didn't get the materials, and eventually the extension of the city was delayed... If this was an ordinary extension of the city, there would be no particular problem, but when it comes to the remote guille, the story changes dramatically.
　After all, it's an area where various monsters move around actively at night.
　So if the city extension stops moving... it means that monsters might come into the city.
　Of course the extension will not be completed overnight.
　More than a month... No, it's not uncommon to take months, or even years, depending on the scale.
　That's why it's no problem if one business takes some time to buy materials….
　However, considering that the slight delay would affect the entire building of the Gillum, such imitation could not have been easily tolerated.
　As a result, Spiel's association could not be involved in the extension of Guilm's big public works city... and would be diverted to places that would not be particularly affected if problems arise.

"And we've got to get a lot of people together." He is a carpenter in particular."
"Yes, we will undertake to escort people."

　The workers who tell me so soon are probably the ones who are good at it'surely.

"You'll need more adventurers than usual, will you?"

　Gillum has a large number of adventurers... all of whom have confidence in their arms.
　Still, there was no doubt that there would be a shortage of people if they were to fully cooperate with the expansion of the city.
　That's because while the town is being built up, there's one regular request after another.
　If the number of monsters increases and the number of monsters is reduced, monsters may attack the site of additional work.
　Also, if we send fewer people to collect samples, we will run out of supplies such as parts and magic items on the guillem.
　If you send less people to guard merchants, you'll be unable to defend yourself if you're attacked by monsters or thieves.
　Usually, there are no thieves near Gilmoo.
　However, there is no doubt that an extension of the city will require a large amount of merchants and goods, and there will also be more thieves in search of merchants.
　...however, most of the increased bandits are not guillem, but rather live near Abuero on the way.

"You'd better move the wolves of the meadow,"
"It's, I think, Mr. Dusker's -- no, it's the intelligence unit of Gillum."
"Oh, did you hear from Marina?"
"That's true, and I've heard a lot of good things about it. Anyway, it is essential to increase the number of adventurers. --that depends on the scale of the extension."

　Asked by a worker, Dusker opens his mouth with a smile on his masculine face.

"The size of the guillem ... well, 40% more than it is now ... if possible."
"...that's another..."

　Workers are speechless at Dusker's words far beyond expectations.
　We had talked about extending the building, but we never expected it to be that large.
　But for Dusker... no, for the lord of Gillum, the extension of the city is not so easy to start.
　That being the case, it was only natural to think that once you decided to do it, you would do it to the fullest extent.
　Of course, even if you do that much extension work in an empty countryside, it will eventually lead to depopulation without crowds.
　However, any number of guillem on the frontier.
　To be exact, I'm working pretty hard in this situation.
　In the first place, the population continued to grow, with so many adventurers coming in the spring.
　Of course, illness, old age, accidents, incidents... many die because they are working as adventurers and fail in their requests.
　Still, adventurers and merchants want to emigrate, and the number of children born to inhabitants of Gilm is more likely to increase than decrease their population.
　That being the case, it was only natural to want to expand the guillem as much as possible.

(Still, 40 or 50 percent is... to be honest, I think it's too big.)

　The worker thinks so, but from what Dusker looks like, he doesn't seem to be joking.
　In other words, that means you're serious.

"I'm sorry to say this from my point of view, but with such a large scale extension, no adventurer of Gillum can cover it."
"I suppose... so, if possible, go to another city... talk to the guild of the city that has a friendly relationship with the workers." "Of course, I will pay for the request to send an adventurer to Gillum."""

　Although not comparable to a city comparable to a royal capital, Gilm on the frontier has an economic zone that can be called a city rather than a city.
　The only frontier in the kingdom of Milliana is worth it.
　There are various sources of income besides monsters and plants that only exist in remote areas.

"Not a skilled adventurer, but an adventurer who has just grown up could have a job."
"Oh, I don't mind any number of people carrying construction materials as manual work, other than guarding them while they're at work and guarding them at night."Adventurers who are more physically trained than ordinary people around them can be useful when they pretend to carry large loads.
　Workers understood it well, too, as they were working at a guild office near the dungeon.
　I've seen an adventurer who helped carpenters without diving into dungeons.
　Eventually, the man quit his adventurer and became a disciple of a carpenter.
　Anyway, adventurers were trained and powerful, and in that sense they were very useful.

"All right. So when exactly will the extension work start?"
"...I don't know the details yet." I'm now in the process of ordering my subordinates to do some detailed calculations. I never expected such useful building materials to appear. without any trouble."
"Well, I don't know what the logic is yet, but the automatic spread of the forest..."

　a report written by Lenora, who received a report from Ray
　According to the report, the forest was still wider than it was yesterday.
　In other words, it is certain that the forest will continue to expand every day, and even considering the size of the forest today, it is unlikely that it will be difficult to build a new guillem.

(Mr. Slasha told me that Trent was there, but... when Mr. Ray cut down this tree, he didn't seem to show up. I wonder what is going on in that area... ...but we will see that in the future.)

　So far, we still don't know exactly what the forest of Trent looks like.
　Of course we would need to look into it later, but we still needed to get ready first.
　At the very least, it's not that easy to get talented members like Ray together, but... if you're still going to build an extension of the guillem, you'd better start moving around as soon as possible.

(Is it Ray, after all? But as long as he has an item box, I would like him to go to the logging department if possible... Then, Ray's party members? No, he's going to have a party other than the wings of the red lotus wings.)

　He was a thoughtful worker, but when he suddenly heard a loud voice coming from the alchemists who were examining the trees, he turned his eyes to them.
　Not only the workers, but also Dusker looked to the voice.

"What shall I do?"
"Why don't you go?" If there's someone who's so enthusiastic about it, it's too late to report."
"...that's right. That's undeniable."

　The worker nods with a quiet smile at Dasker's words.
　Even if you think about it here, there's no doubt that you still lack information.
　That being the case, I thought it would be better to send some adventurers other than the wings of the Red Lotus and get even a little information.

"What's wrong with you? You seem to like it."

　Speaking to a worker, Zumous opens his mouth with a sparkle in his eyes.

"Yes, look at this! When you touch a liquid with a particular magical power, it gets harder in response to that magical power."
"Didn't you say the same thing about the branches yesterday?"
"Yes, it's the same phenomenon as yesterday. However, what is definitely different is its hardness. This could also be used as an outer wall that covers the city."
"...what's your tolerance to fire resistance to fire.

　As he listened to the conversation between the worker and Zumous, Dusker interrupted.
　I'm at a loss to say whether it was unexpected for Zumous to hear that.

"Well, that's..."

　The attitude of Zumous represents the answer to Dusker's words.

"No matter how strong it is, it cannot be used on the wall when it is burned by fire."
"...yes,"

　Fire fighting is a common means of attack.
　Monsters and humans alike.
　That being the case, it is only natural that fire resistance is required to be used on walls.

"But... the tree may be used more than a wall." Let me know if you know anything."

　Dusker had told Zumouth that he was going to follow.
