87-81 What Jennis can do with reincarnated ancestors




 The next morning we were to look around the city of Yenis, but there was a slight problem.

''Well as expected, we don't have this many people.''
 When we, the representatives of the various tribes, the entourage and the guards all moved, one company was formed.

''Today, you will show us where the wolf-beastmen are gathering at Olga-dono, and we will take a look at the place where the wolf-beastmen are gathered. The next day, let me visit the place where the fox-beastman tribe gathers at Folens-dono and the order in which they gather. Also, please tell them that I'll need to ask the one who is on good terms with the Bear and Raccoon tribes to show them around as well.
 I told him. As you'd expect, going on a tour with this many people would cause all sorts of harm, and I sent the Kefin squad to serve as the face of the slums, where many half-dwellers live in Yenis.
 I've heard that we're going to need their help to create a special zone for healing, but is it really convenient and gratifying? Because such a question went through my head.

''Well there's certainly a problem with walking with this many people.
 When Sauzer-dono, the bird-man, raised his voice, my suggestion was approved in two words, as long as the other races could inspect their places as well.

 We left the mansion where the chiefs were gathered and headed to the area where many werewolves live.

''So there are a lot of flat roofs.''
 I said and called out to Lord Olga.
 There were no two-story buildings as far as I could see, and the sky felt closer.

''Yes. The majority of the beastman race, including us, generally stay with their families until adulthood. Therefore, unless they have something to do with business, single-story buildings are the norm.
 Laughing at that, he patted Sheila, who had attached herself to Olga-dono, and said.

''That's right. But even so, there are no people to pass by at all, is this something you're able to get to work on?
 It took about thirty minutes after leaving the tenement area to reach the Wolf Beastman District (temporary), but there were extremely few people outside.

''Yes. The Blutbaden are basically men out on guard duty and patrolling around the fields, while the women spend most of their time in the fields while raising their children.''
'I see. Do different races have different roles?
'Yes. Because our country has a similar climate all year round, for example, there is a division between plowing, weeding, harvesting, processing, and watching for monsters to come.

 .........I've heard in a previous life that cutting grass is the hardest part of farming, but I guess the reason I don't complain is because of the demons that come out.

'Come to think of it, there's no common foodstuff that you can't eat, right?
...Yes. There was a rumor going around for a while that eating things like Negish would make you itch all over, but that's not true.
 Yes. In this world, the dog-beast and wolf-beast eat onions and leeks and it's nothing at all.
 I knew this because I had heard this from Mr. Gulgar, but I thought I'd check it out just in case.
 He felt that if he used Mr. Galba and Mr. Grugar as a reference, he might make an irreversible mistake one day.
 This time I was glad to see it was true.

''Well, there seems to be a race that eats that stuff raw, but I don't like it that much.
 He replied, shaking his face. So what's your favorite food? I wonder, but this is no different than what the canines in my previous life liked.

'Yes. That's right. That distinctive smell is unbearable.
 She laughed and told me that she preferred the slightly fermented smell of cheese.
 I couldn't help but laugh at Olga, who shuddered slightly, except for object X.

 He told me that the water and other things he uses for meals are drawn from a well, and when I asked him to show me, I found that it was not a well from a fantasy, but a magnificent hand-pumped well.
''........Who invented this?''
'I've heard that it was invented by a wise man. It is said that he had the dwarves make this tool so that they would have no trouble finding water in this area by looking for underground water veins. I've heard that in other towns and villages, though, magic tools are becoming the mainstream.
...I see.
 I didn't know that even the sage was a reincarnation...not funny. Even after that, it turned out that some of the things the sage told us about were also spread by the sage, such as the cheese making and curry (curry) that I mentioned earlier.

 From there, I didn't hear much about Olga-dono, but near noon I was able to convince myself that people who had been reincarnated or tripped in earlier times than me had made an effort to live.
 I decided to take full advantage of the knowledge I could use, since I was about to do the same thing.
 Today's lunch was at a restaurant that served curry and freshly baked naan, which was terrific.
''........Most of the wolf beastmen are good at cooking, but why is that?
The wise man also said that they have better noses and keener senses than the human race, so they think like cooks. The wolf-beast are especially good at cooking because they're often the type of people who get into it.

 I heard that besides the wise man, Lord Leinster had taught him how to make soap, and there was talk of building a spa town.
 As far as soap making is concerned, he was good at it.
 It is said that without them there would be no Yenis as we know it today, so it must have been a cornerstone of its development.
 Nowadays, the production of soap is also practiced in other countries and the benefit of soap making has been lost.
 Next, there is a plan for a hot spring, but I heard that the source of the hot spring was found. However, it was found that the smell of sulfur was too strong and the demon would be activated by the smell, and it seems to have given up.
 Other agrarian reforms failed to give instructions to let them mix humus with the fields and soil and spread lime, and they also bought food for the residents from other countries at their own expense.
 Now, over the years, they know the proportions of this, so they are now viable as a state enterprise.

''Well........Lord Leinster wasn't a perfect superhuman either, was he?
 I muttered, a little relieved.
 I only felt like a real, perfect superhero when I read the book, but it was a relief to know that he was very human.

'What happened from earlier?
'I've been thinking a bit. I was surprised that there was that failed episode of Lord Leinster.
 I smiled at Olga-dono, who looked at me with concern, who was silent.

 Assuming that there are a lot of reincarnated people here, I decided to shift gears to making this city a better place to live rather than a developmental one.


 The next day, the fox-beast tribe's Lord Follens, who was in charge of the business, led us to the fox-beast tribe.

''We focus on commerce with adventurers like this, making deals with the Commerce Guild to attract merchants.
 Apparently the reason for putting a merchant guild in town is to attract merchants. There is no cost on the part of Yenis here.
 When the spices are exported, the guild of commerce and industry adds an intermediate margin to the cost, and the merchants buy them.

 On the other hand, some merchants bring their goods to the city, but it is said that the state-run merchants who are registered with the guild of commerce and industry distribute the goods to each store.

 That's why there is no price competition among merchants in this city.

 It's not a fun country for merchants to be in.

When I started running my business this way, I was beaten up a lot by the merchants. If you ask the merchants, they say you can't polish your skills, etc.... Well, even so, we buy most of them, so many of them failed, and it seems to have been a relief for them. Nowadays, if you want to make a steady income, it's rumored to be Yenis.
 Lord Forens smiled proudly.

 If you ask me in detail, I heard that you can check where and what is being sold and at what price at the Commerce Guild. It was a system that could be done precisely because it was a country.

5w2h, or is it 6w2h this time?
Did he say anything to you?
'No, I was just reminiscing a little back in the day. 'Yes, is the slavers the same way?

 I remembered the past when I was laughed at for only knowing 5w1h in my previous life, but I didn't have to say it, so I switched the subject.
''........No, the slave trade is different. We can't decide how much a slave is worth, you know.''
''Don't the slavers go through the Commerce Guild?
You can apply to the State and the Commerce Guild to open a slave trade in the country as a slave trader if it passes. You must give 20% of your net profits to the state and 10% to the Commerce Guild. Of course, if you want to bring slaves into the city, they will be inspected, though we don't have any illegal slaves in Yenis.
I see.
"Or buy demon meat from the Adventurer's Guild for a set amount of money.

 ........Actually, I had heard that there was a slave auction, so I thought that was illegal. That's what I asked and it seems to be legal.
 By the way, it seems that everything except for the ones that refused to shop because of pressure from Shazza on the first day we were here have either fallen into slavery or had their property confiscated and had to start again from the bottom.

 This system would reach its limits if more people were added to the system. With that in mind, he listened to Follens-san's story.


 The next day, he continued to hear from each race about their characteristics, and on the ninth day, he was able to meet the Raccoon Beastman.

''Luciel-sama, this is the Raccoon Beastman, Lord Walrabis.
 It was a raccoon figurine that was introduced to Olga-dono. No, since that thing is actually moving, there's no doubt that it's a beastman.

''It's nice to meet you, I'm Luciel. I will be representing Yenis on a temporary basis for one year only.''
Nice to meet you. I'm the representative of these Raccoon Beastmen, my name is Walrabis.
 It's a slow way of speaking, so it's distracting, but people like this can actually be as thin as they are.
''........If you need any help, please let me know.
"All right. "This is for you to have a closer look at.
 It was a necklace made of gold.
It's well made. It's a nice touch, sir.
 When I tell him that, he glares at Olga-dono.
'Olga, I taught you a lesson.
 But it is not so.
'No, not Olga-san. There's someone who tells me that when I first meet the Raccoon Beastman, the gift he gives me is an imposter.
"...who is that guy?
'Garba-san is a wolf-beast, but you wouldn't know it if I told you, would you?
 However, when I brought Galba-san out to talk about her, Walabis-dono's face turned blue at once.
''I'm sorry~. I'm sorry about this~. So please don't tell Galva-sama about this~
 The slow speech he had just had was a change of pace... what did you do, Mr. Galva?

'I understand. But if you know Mr. Galba, then Mr. Gruger... what?
 The next thing I knew, Lord Walrabis had fainted.

''You didn't think you knew them?''
 Lord Olga smiled nostalgically.
''Yes. I was an employee of the Adventurer's Guild in the city of Meratoni in the St. Surul Co-operative Country, and it was Gruger-san who started me drinking Object X, and it was Garba-san who taught me how to dismantle it and make the signs disappear... I'm very indebted to him.
''I see Lord Gruger hadn't given up yet.
What do you mean?
I use it as a secret ingredient.
"...maybe...
Yes, Master Walrabis was the same age as Lord Gulgar and used to be fed that food. Lord Walrabis is the same age as Lord Gurgar and I used to be fed that dish.

 You've always been very research-oriented........ If that was the case, why were you scared of Garba-san?
'I see that Mr. Gruger reminded you of Object X, but why is Mr. Galba?

'Lord Galba grew up to be known as the prodigy of Yenis and was very popular. But it was an unspoken rule not to offend Lord Galba, as his sermons would cut into the hearts of men and women, young and old.
 Olga-san, who was laughing and slightly sweating, must have offended him before.
 I had that feeling.

''Well, what should I do, Walrabis-dono?
Keep it close enough to wake him up.
 He laughed as he plugged his nose so.

'Mr. Walrabis, wake up or I'll make you drink Object X.'
"Good morning to you, too.
 So in the blink of an eye, he rebooted.

'It's okay. I'll drink object X with you if you play a prank on me.
 He laughed at that, and he desperately began to talk about the value of the Raccoon Beastman's existence.

 He told me that he was dexterous with his hands and was good at making things like woodworking, sewing and crafting, and that he was the only beastman who could use magic.

''The legendary family lineage from that fox beastman who was just good at business was also born because the raccoon beastman guided them. I was the one who created the legendary family tree of Toretto.
'What? Really? You knew Toretto as well. He made this robe for me, too. I'll let Toretto know you met Mr. Wallabis next time.
You know him, right?
Yes. Yes. He's a good person who also gives me magic tools. Well, he's a bit too intense.
 From then on, he said he would cooperate if anything happened to him and left.

''It seems like you're a competent race, except for the storytelling and pranks.
'Yes. Yeah.

 As we talked about such trivial matters, my mind gradually built up a picture of what needed to be improved in domestic politics.
