"Master Alphonse, may I have a word?"

"What's up, Elvis?　Is there something you want to talk about in particular?"

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

Yes. Yes, actually, I have something important to tell you about this village.

　Spring has passed and the temperature is gradually rising.

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

　In the sub-national group, after this spring, there will be a period of heavy rainfall before the summer.

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

　It was almost that time of year.

　Elvis starts talking to me with a serious look on his face.

"Is something wrong?"

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

"No. Not that there was anything wrong. But there is an important issue for the mercenaries living in this village. That is, of course, that this village is all-male.

"Huh?　Well, yes. We've got men who can fight as mercenaries. The only women we have are Kristina and a few former orphan girls.

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

"Yes. There are far fewer women here. And that's a big problem. Because all the people in this village are boys of a very full-blooded and very full-grown age. And lately they are very noisy. They want to take women and marry them or something.

"Oh, you mean that. Oh, I've heard a little bit about that. So, when we invite people from the variant, should we make sure to bring a woman with us this time?"

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

"No, that's the thing. No, that's the thing. The women in the variant don't like it.

"Why?　I thought you said you wanted to get married."

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

Yes, but they seem to be longing for city women. You see, Valiant is a rural community at the foot of the Daisetsuzan Mountains, isn't it?　They were born and raised there, and they seem to want to be fulfilled by marrying city women."

"What's that? I guess it doesn't matter where you were born, does it?"

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

"Well, it's just what they want. But it affects morale more than you might think. If possible, I would like them to respond to such requests.

　I see.

　Well, it is true that one of my original motives for joining the Barka Mercenaries and coming to the Orient was to get out into the city.

　And that wish has not been fulfilled in a subtle way.

　I am sure that he came to the Orient with me.

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

　But soon after that, I moved from the city-state of Orient to an abandoned village and made it my base of operations, called Barca Village.

　It may be better than the harsh environment of Valiant, but to be honest, my dream of city life seems to have become a mirage.

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

　We have only moved to a rural village with a somewhat better climate.

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

　Although the salt damage has finally begun to subside, we are still managing the land and buildings all by ourselves.

　Furthermore, the mercenaries cannot go out to the city-state, which is supposed to be nearby, without permission.

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

　The village of Barca is also the base of the Barca Mercenaries that I created, as well as the base for making magical tools.

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

　In particular, there is a lot of information on how to make magical tools that is classified as confidential.

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

　I could not give them permission to freely leave the village and go to the Orient to play.

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

　In this case, they were forced to live in a village where only men were allowed to make and train magic tools, and only occasionally go to the battlefield when requested to do so.

　Those who have gone to the battlefields under the arrangement of Elvis are sometimes taken to the Orient to play after the battle is over, but that's about the only opportunity they have.

　It is likely that some of them have already decided that they would like to have a family.

I want to marry a woman who was born in the Orient, huh? I guess it's possible, but we can't ask them to marry freely, can we?　We can't have our information pulled out."

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

"Yes, that's right. This Barka village is still in its infancy. In order to protect the information that must not be leaked, the women who come to the mercenaries will have to live in this village.

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

"That means we can't let them go back home freely. Then, would it be better to have women who have no relatives?

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

"That's what I suggested to them. I asked Master Alphonse to bring a woman from the favelas who has no relatives.

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

"...... doesn't that kind of make a bad impression on me?　I feel like a kidnapper. ......"

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

"No?　I heard. I heard the story of how Master Alphonse walked and people fell down, and how he left the favelas with dozens of children in tow."

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

"No, well, I can't deny it from that story alone. Well, whatever. Anyway, you don't like women in the favelas even though you live in the Orient, do you?"

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

"Yes. Because by urban women here, I mean women who live within the walls of the Orient."

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

"Hmmm. In short, someone who lives inside the walls, who would be willing to move to this village, and preferably with few relatives. Is there such a person?

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

"I don't know. I don't know... but that's what the mercenaries want anyway. You can't stay single forever. I'm counting on you, Mr. Alphonse.

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

　Elvis bows his head in agreement.

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

　It seems that Elvis could not solve this problem by himself.

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

　I don't really know what to do either.

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

　I wonder if there is such a convenient person.

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

　I don't know what to do.

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

　I was also troubled by this unexpected advice.
