"Oh, by the way, what happened to the goat?"

"Brother Ars, it's fine to try things on the spur of the moment, but you should try to anticipate the consequences before you act. We've had a hard time with that goat."

"Sorry, sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's rare for Kyle to get mad at me.

"I want to be angry. We've had a lot of complaints about people jumping on top of our building."

"That was tough for him. But you don't get those complaints anymore. What's going on?"

"There's been a lot of trouble in the city of Vulcania," he said. They brought all the horses into the central area inside the inner walls. They're all together in the Valkyrie stables."

"In the Valkyrie stables?　Is everything okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. Apparently, the Valkyries can tell when a goat's about to jump. It looks like the Valkyries were shooting bullets at the goats that were trying to leap.

"Oh, you were firing off [shotgun shells]?　Are you sure you're not saying that all the goats are dead and the problem is solved?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course not. The Valkyries were very careful. But maybe because they've been fired at with [shotgun shells] so many times, or maybe because they know they won't be harmed if they stay quiet, the goats seem to be quiet when they're with Valkyrie."

"...... So you're saying that Valkyrie followed the goats?　It's like standing in a higher being."

　Apparently, the goats sent to the city of Vulcania live a quiet life in the company of Valkyrie.

　The goats' unnecessary bouncing around was indeed a big problem in the town, and they were saved, to say the least.

　The goats themselves are gentle, but they are heavy beasts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Such an animal leaps several meters high and lands on the ground.

　Who can say that a human being will not be crushed at that moment?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had not thought about the possibility of this accident at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, the worst had fortunately not happened, and it was merely a complaint from a resident of the city.

　If the goat had caused the accident, it might have been troublesome.

"But what are you going to do now, Brother Ars? You are going to raise goats, aren't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm?　I plan to, but what's wrong with that?　You think you could raise them with Valkyrie, don't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"As long as there are few of them, yes, but what if there are more? I mean, I don't know if it's a good idea to keep beasts in the central district where Barca Castle is located.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, when you put it that way, yes. ......Good, let's take this opportunity to pioneer again. I haven't been exploring at all for some reason.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kyle is right, we can't just keep adding goats to the central district, where we should be doing the work of the estate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, let's make a place like a farm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we build a place for raising goats, surrounded by a wall to prevent them from escaping, there will be no damage to the residents.

　With this thought in mind, I decided to explore the forests north of Vulcania for the first time in a long time.

　Originally, there was a forest north of the city of Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One of the villages that were created in the effort to cultivate it was the village of Barca, where I was born.

　However, the forest was inhabited by dangerous creatures, and the area that had been cleared was being encroached upon by the forest again, so that it was all that could be done to maintain it.

　I am the one who changed the situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am still a child, but even at a very young age, I began to use my own magic to open up the forest and expand the land.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This led me to antagonize with the nobles who ruled the land, but that's okay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a result, they succeeded in acquiring a vast area of land and built a walled fortress city called Vulcania.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A large walled city about 4 km on each side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's Vulcania, where I live.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it was not a four-kilometer square of land that I was pioneering at the time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I only built a 4km-long wall inside the land I had cleared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

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

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This land outside the wall called Vulcania is mine, but I do not use it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason is that the land is used to kill the boars that come out of the forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

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

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The land that was once cleared has been reduced thanks to these boars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But now the Valka cavalry mounted on Valkyries have succeeded in killing the boars as soon as they are found.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We are going to expand this land a little more and build a new wall to create a place for pasture.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Actually, this work would not go very far if I did not do it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have the means to magically loosen the soil and pull out the roots of the trees that are firmly rooted in the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you can't pioneer with magic as I do, you have to cut the trees one by one with an axe, dig up the soil around the stump, and pull the roots out by pulling a rope to the stump.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I have the magic of "clearing the ground," I can even level the ground with stumps and rocks, but it still takes time to cut the tree.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is said to be easy pioneering, but it is more hard work and time consuming than I thought for anyone but me to do it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I was able to do this work at a very fast pace.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My magic and the presence of so many Valkyries were probably the main reasons for this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Valkyries pull the trees that I have pulled out from the roots and carry them into Vulcania.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They felled one tree after another, and then [cleared] the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When the land had grown to a certain extent, they enclosed it with a wall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, a newly expanded walled pasture area was created on the north side of Vulcania.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A paradise for Valkyries and goats was created, where only a limited number of people were allowed to enter.
