The summer festival held in Liberty was a great success.
　There were reports of record sales across the board at the wholesale market, which was managed by Black, and at the town hall sales office.
　The number of people who visited Liberty during the festival was also significant, and not only the lodgings in the hot spring village that had been hosting these guests, but also the lodgings around the town hall that had just been added were full every day.

　However, there is a concern that if we were to recommend additional lodging facilities just because they were full for this event, they might become redundant in the normal season.

　It seems that Geghemorse area, which had only set up a stall, was also quite crowded, and if this area had been involved a little more, the festival might have been more exciting, I thought.

　Also, the biggest problem was dealing with the visitors.
　I think the fact that I was stuck dealing with visitors for two days in a row and couldn't take a look around the festival at all is a bit of a problem.
　Although I have Erdena as my deputy lord, I had asked her to handle the stalls at this festival, and she was too busy dealing with them to move around...

　Originally, this Liberty began as a settlement and grew from there to a small frontier city in a short period of time.

　The biggest thing was probably the incorporation of the Gehemorse area.

　When the chimera pseudo rampage, the city was severely damaged to the extent that it was hampered by the rampage, and the lord of Geghemorse, who was supposed to be responsible for its recovery, apparently ran away... There is a theory that he was killed by bandits while escaping.

　Rapidly growing urban functions
　This festival has made me realize that the current structure of the town hall is a bit too small to carry out this task.

　For the time being, I think it would be better to appoint another deputy lord.
　To tell the truth, there are people for the job, but...well, it's a fortunate thing that I'm a vice-lord, so...
　She's knowledgeable and thoughtful, and most importantly, she thinks about everyone... She's still my right hand man in diplomacy, but I'm not sure if it's right to give her that much of a position as a so-called ideological body... a ghost, in other words.

　When I was wondering like that, Korok, who had come to visit me in the lord's office
My lord, Korok, I'm going to help my lord when he grows up.
　That's why I was strangely happy that she smiled at me, yes.


　As for personnel, I have received word that Foldente, who is on her way to GianaCombe, will be back tomorrow, so I'll discuss it with everyone after she returns.


　I also think we need to do something about the guards.
　Even though nothing happened as a result this time, I think it was quite a problem to be swept up by Urinacomb and have to get Batocombe and Pix to help with the guards, as well.

　A big part of this was the fact that Lil Pop, Liberty's strongest guard, had to leave the front lines because she was unexpectedly pregnant.
　At any given moment, Lil Pop was able to do the work of about a thousand people by herself without a care in the world, and I think it was true that there was a part of me that relied on her somewhere in the back of my mind.

　It seems to be very special for a demon to get pregnant, and even the same demon jambalea and others rolled their eyes, so I can't even consider how long it would take Lil Pop to give birth, but, well, I think I should just think about a year or so, just like my race.......I don't know.


　Then there was an unexpected knock on my room.
'Come in.'
　I called out to him.
Excuse me, my lord.
　With the Captain of the Guard Googus in a good mood.
Excuse me, sir.
　Lil Pop entered the room, looking the usual way.

　.........What?
　Lil Pop I think you're getting pretty big, don't you?

　This is my old lil' pop.
　My belly, which was puffy and swollen a few days ago, has cleared up now.
　
　Beside me twitching my little neck, Googus snickers at me.
I'd like you to meet Guina and Rilna.
　When Googs said that, a little boy and a girl came from underneath Googs' feet.


　Huh?


　Has the baby been born already?

　Googus laughed happily in front of my stunned face.
'No, it seems that some sub-humans give birth within a few weeks of conception... apparently, Janbarea said that Lil Pop might have some of those genes in him... so he was delivered safely two days ago, my first and second sons and daughters.
　If you look closely, you'll see that behind Googs, Goopop is also smiling.
　She's the adopted daughter of the two of them, but she's already completely integrated into the Googs family.

　........But the least family-like of the family is, well, Lil Pop in his wife-like position.

I never thought that I would actually be able to have a child.
　Lilpop says that, and though he's trying to be blunt on purpose, his voice sounds a little embarrassed and uptight.
　At their feet, Guina and Rilna walk towards Lilpop while cluttering up.

　Lil Pop holds them in his arms as if he had no choice.
　Guina and Rilna are smiling happily.

You've said your greetings, haven't you?　Then we are frogs.
　After saying that, Lil Pop quickly left the room with Guina and Rilna in his arms.
''That's how it is, well, keep up the good work.
　With that, Googus left with Lil Pop in pursuit of him.
'Hey, wait a minute, he wants me to hold one or the other,'
Googles aren't very good at carrying things, sir.
　I couldn't help but chuckle when I overheard that conversation, and Goopop chuckled at me, too.
Now, excuse me.
　Saying that, he left the room and followed the two of them.

　
　........It was like an amazing tornado passed by.

　As I was thinking about this, Unja just brought me a drink.
Nah, it's a surprise. I didn't think you'd beat me to it.
　Unja looked at the door as she said that.

　I mean, she said, she's going to get ahead of me.
Well, of course, it's for Whoonya and her little boy.
　Unna smiles at that.

　I've been asked to be a mistress for a number of years now, but in front of me, smiling bitterly like that, Unja has a look of dissatisfaction on her face
Oh, you're not serious, are you?　As long as it's OK with you, Whoonya, it's OK with me right now.
　When I said that, he suddenly started lifting his skirt.
'No, no, that's not the point, now anyway...'
　

　And then, with a bang, the door to my room opened.
　And there was Biblina.

　Biblina said as she leaned closer to me, her eyes widening.
Did you hear that?　Safate, I hear that Gugus is having a baby...so how come you and I are not...
　You see, Vivalina, calm down... because you and I aren't married and we're not on the same side of the family...

　And now, when you think about it.
My lord, did you hear that?
　And then Nirmana came running into the room.

My lord, may I have a word with you?
　And then he even came to the aura of being strangely dressed.

　For a while, the lord's office can no longer do its job...
