"Hey, Ars. I heard about your mission to Fort Einrad. Of course I'm going.

"You're a quick ear, brother Bite. But I was thinking of sending Vargas, a friend of Peacha's, to Fort Einrad.

"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 with you, brother Bite? You're being very stubborn today. Is something wrong?

What's the matter with you? You and Kyle both built your own houses. You're gonna lose your dignity as my brother. It's time for me to show my manhood.

"I think my brother Byte has been active enough. I mean, it's not like we're going to Fort Einrad to fight. Do you understand that, Bite-brother?

"That's just a pretext, isn't it?　You can't just go make bricks and be done with it, can you?"

"I'm not wrong, but fighting isn't the main thing. Well, okay. Let me explain something to you."

　He must have heard somewhere about the dispatch of the owner of the Barca surname I told Picha about.

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

　My brother Byte came forward and said he would go himself.

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

　He seems to be ready to fight.

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

　The request from Fort Einrad to cooperate with Barka was based on Picha's decision.

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

　He is probably thinking of the possibility that the Uruks, who were quiet last year, might move to heal the damage after the battle.

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

　So there is no reason to think that there is no possibility of a battle as my brother Byte says.

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

　But I have decided to make a new profit from this story.

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

　It is called "Barka's recruitment service".

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

　This dispatch to Picha is the first step.

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

　And the purpose of this dispatch is not only for combat.

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

　In other words, the dispatch of personnel will be accepted for activities other than combat.

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

　In other words, we decided to take on the task of improving the land.

　The village of Barca, where I was born and grew up, was also in a bad state, but when I was mobilized for the last battle and saw other places while moving around, I felt it.

　I felt that the territory of Fontana could be developed more.

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

　There are still unused lands and the lands that are currently used as farmlands can be improved.

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

　If those who could use the magic of Barca were dispatched to various places to [clear the land], [improve the soil], or [lay roads], the territory of Fontana could be developed even more.

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

　At the very least, it would definitely increase the production of food.

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

　Therefore, I decided to dispatch Barka's magician to those who wish to develop their lands for a fee.

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

　I will make a profit and the landowners will definitely make a profit too.

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

　This will make Fontana itself more vibrant.

　I have been thinking for a long time that even if only the knights of Barca make money, there is a strong possibility that they will eventually reach their limits.

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

　But, one cannot touch any other territory than one's own.

　Even if the harvest rate increases, unauthorized land modification will surely cause trouble.

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

　That is why we turned to Picha's proposal.

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

　Villages around Fort Einrad have improved their farmlands a little in the past.

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

　As long as Picha gives us permission, the residents of the land will not be afraid to take over the farmland.

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

　If the results are visible in numbers, he thinks, other landed knights will call on him.

"So, you want the people who are going to Einrad to work on improving farmland and building roads, don't you, Ars?"

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

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

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

"Okay, you've made your point. They agree with you on that, don't they?

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

"Yes, that's right. I've already spoken to Mr. Peacha. Basically, we are going to build bricks, improve the farmland in the surrounding villages, and build the designated roads.

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

"Yes, sir. So we just have to do what they say. It's that easy, isn't it?

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

"Wait a minute, brother Bite. It's true that their opinion is important when it comes to road construction, but don't do as they say. The only reason we're sending you is to make bricks and improve the land. If things get dangerous in the event of a battle, I'd like you to pull out.

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

"What?　You're not going to fight?"

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

"We don't mind if you fight, but if it's too dangerous, we can leave at our own discretion. I am the head of the House of Barca, and I am the master of my brother Bite. They have no authority to give orders to my brother Bite. I want you to act so that no unnecessary damage will be done to the people of Barca.

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

"...... I see."

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

"And if you're going to be in charge of dispatch, you'd better learn how to negotiate, brother. You'll have to agree on the fee in advance, but once you get there, they'll probably ask you to do this or that later on. At that time, it is necessary to accept the work at an appropriate price, taking into consideration the time and risk involved. If you sell your ability cheaply or do it for free, they will ask for it the next time.

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

"......, it looks like it's going to be harder than I thought, Als. I'm not good at that kind of hassle.

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

"No, I'll make sure you do it, brother Byte. This could be a surprisingly good opportunity. It might be a good experience for you.

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

　However, it would be tough to entrust everything to a part-timer.

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

　In the first place, it would be the first time for him to be dispatched to a place he has never been to before.

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

　To be honest, I don't know what a reasonable amount of money is either.

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

　So, I'll ask him to go with someone who can support him.

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

"Okay, I'll ask my brother to go with Leon. He has worked with us before, so he should be able to help us, right?

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

"Leon. I think I can manage with him. All right, all right, Ars. I'll take care of it.

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

"Really, don't be too hard on yourself, brother Bite. Just listen to what Leon says, okay?"

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

I know. I'll be fine."

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

　Despite my misgivings, I decided to entrust Bartka's staffing to him.

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

　Well, we won't leave until after the snow melts anyway.

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

　In the meantime, I'll work with the others to set a rough price.

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

　And so a new year begins.
