Vibrina suddenly said she wanted to be the Deputy Lord of Liberty.

　I was just thinking about that and the person who was thinking about it as a candidate came to me and said he wanted to take that position....
'I'm flattered by the sentiment, but isn't Biblina the daughter of Gelter of Batcombe? What are you going to do about that one?
　When I asked her this, Biblina stretched her chest out on the spot.
It's no problem. ─ That's no problem then, as it's a place for her to learn how to become a lord. I want you to serve as the deputy lord. My father has already agreed to this. Even though it's part of the study, I want you to be comfortable with the fact that I'm going to serve you well.
　It's certainly a grateful offer, but when you're appointing another city's......and the lord's daughter as your deputy lord, you have to give her father, Gelter, a proper greeting first..............................and that's what I thought.
Hey, good job. Sorry I missed the good time at the party last night.
　While saying that, Geltar came popping up in the lord's room.
　I don't think there was any particular call for a visit, but.......as I was thinking that, Gelter walked up beside me, smiling with a smirk as usual.
''Well, that's why. I would like to ask you to take care of the Vice-Lord of Vibrina. Seriously, this guy has the qualities, but he's overwhelmingly lacking in experience... I've sent him to other cities before as an assistant vice lord...
　When Gelter started to say that, Biblina suddenly turned red in the face.
The mistress of the house just slapped three and a half lines on him because he always harassed her so much.
　When I said that, I pouted and turned my head to the side.

　.........What a story, it's very much like Biblina.

　I was able to confirm that Gerther's consent had been obtained, and I was able to reply that I would think positively about Biblina's appointment as deputy lord.
　Then Biblina smiled happily.
Come on. Now that your father's out of the picture, take your ass back to Butchcombe.
　And then he suddenly said coldly.
　To this, as expected of Gelter, he could only smile bitterly.....

　Gelter's sudden visit to Liberty was not in regard to this appointment of the Vice-Lord of Vibrina.
　When he came on another matter, he was suddenly in Vibrina.
"Would it be all right for you to run for Deputy Lord of Liberty?　Okay?　Huh?
　He pleaded with her.
　When she heard that story, Biblina turned bright red again.
Yeah, I told you to keep your mouth shut!
　He grabbed onto Geltor as he said this.

　After that, after a while of pushing and shoving between Gelter and Biblina, Gelter got down to business.
''As for the example, about the dark charmers, I've overheard a few things...''
　With that said, what Gelter cut out was.....

　It seems that the Dark Trade Association, which has pulled out of Urinacombe, the main base of operations, has been mining this without permission by suppressing the magic stone veins in various places.
　This was confessed by the executive of the dark charmers who was captured in the city of Gatacombe the other day during his interrogation in the royal capital.

"Liberty has a vein of ore in the Gehmose area, don't they?
　 I thought it might be a good idea to guard that area as well.
　
　I still didn't know what Gelter had told me.
　As Gelter said, the magic stone vein being excavated in the Geghemorse area was dug from the easiest place to dig, and the vein itself stretches from north to south.
　If they were secretly digging in the uncultivated forest area spreading to the north of it.......I wondered if they would do such a daring thing......but at the same time, I couldn't say that it would never happen, as I had previously entered the Greencombe's territory without permission and chased around the ancient monster race~Tiree and the others, so I couldn't say that it was absolutely not there.

　After that, he and Gelter exchanged chit-chat with Vibrina.
　Shortly after, Gelter and Vibrina left the lord's office, and I had the guard captain, Gugs, called for me to replace them.

'My lord, what's going on?'
　Not long after, he appeared in the lord's office, and after apologizing to Gugus for calling him out of his busy schedule, he told him what he had just heard from Geltar.
　Then Gugus folded his arms and began to think about it.
''I see........that uncivilized forest area certainly isn't patrolled much. I do patrol the area around the city wall beyond that, but I can't always see everything there...
　Googus said, and then.
I'll ask Hawkman, Swallowman and the others to help me plan for a tighter security system in that area.
　With that, he left the room.

　Then, as if to replace the googly eyes, Foldente materialized in the room.
'Oh dear?　What's going on here?
　Just as Googs ran off, Foldente looked away from his back to me with a nod of his head.
　I also told Foldente what Gelter had just told me.
Oh, well, I was just coming to tell you that, you know, Geltar's one step ahead of me.
　He chuckled as he said that.

　However, there was one more piece of information about Foldente.
I've been kicked out of King's Landing, I heard that wizards and sub-human mercenaries are under the umbrella of the dark winning voice, hey!
　
　The wizards are probably the senior wizards who were teaching wizards at the witchcraft school.

　You can find a number of different types of witches and wizards in the city.

　The sub-human mercenary group was probably influenced by the fact that the king's capital had suddenly taken all of those jobs away from the sub-humans, assuming that from now on, the guards of the guard bureau would take care of the work of guarding important people and guarding private residences that had been undertaken by the sub-human mercenary group.
　Some of them moved here to Liberty and became Liberty's guardsmen, but this is only a small part of the cases where they were able to successfully change jobs.

　Anyway, I have to keep this in mind and think again that I need to think about how to deal with it when we have events in Liberty in the future.

　And so, since the arrival of Foldente, we talked a bit about the Deputy Lords.
　For me, I'm thinking of Biblina, and that she's running for the position. I told her that her father, Geltar, had also agreed to the matter, and Foldente
I think she's the right girl for the job. In the beginning, she was just a sharp kid, but she's grown up doing this and that here at Liberty.
　I chuckle while saying that.
　
　Foldente has given me his approval, and I'm going to consult with Erdena as well regarding the appointment of Vibrina's deputy lord and take the necessary procedures.

　Erdena has gone to inspect the cultivation area in the south today, so I have to wait for her to return.

　As I was thinking about this, I noticed that Foldente kept smiling in front of me, smiling at me.
　Foldente was gazing at me, staring at me.
You're starting to sound like a lord I'm a little surprised.
　As he said that, he chuckled again.

　I'm not really aware of it myself, but it made me happy to hear that from Foldente, who has been with me ever since I came to Liberty, so....
