The next day, I gave Doran and Paula the magic stone and asked them to dig through the three underground floors.

''I'd like to make an entrance from the other side as well, but that's not possible yet since we haven't even pledged. You'll have to consult with Hanir-dono over here to sort out the compartment.''
Yeah. I'll keep digging.
I'll stick with it.
　He had forgotten that the two usually didn't talk much. That's when I noticed the three elves.

''Cresia, Lisian, and Milfine, listen to Hanir-dono's opinion on where and what seeds to sow, etc., and write it down on the parchment and show it to me later.
"Yes.

　I had the three of them pledged this morning.
　I decided not to worry about it, because it would bind them to a certain extent, but if not, it wouldn't, and I would just stop getting involved with the girls.

　This pledge included joint and several liability.
　It was decided that if they violated anything, all three of them would be sold as slaves.

　Even if they broke their slave contracts, there was a possibility that they would come back immediately, or that they could be returned if they thought the spirits were involved in the loss of their memories of meeting with us.
　In terms of ability, I think they are the kind of people we need in this orchard and honey and honeysuckle factory.

　Last night I talked to Lionel and Ketty about the spirits and the characteristics of the elves and decided how to treat them.
　Ketty asked Lisian about the relationship between the elven slaves and he confirmed it, and he told her that only those who are strong in faith, even the spirits, can break their slave contracts.
''I spoke to her firmly and she told me properly~''
He was smiling, but his eyes weren't smiling.
Surely he was thinking about the fact that Lionel was hurting...was he thinking too much?

If you think of Milfine by that standard, she was an elf over 200 years old, so her faith must have been quite strong.
In the same way that people use magic by praying to the Lord God's Kraya-sama and using magic, spirit magic asks the spirits to use magic, so their faith must be extraordinarily strong.

I prioritized the revelation of a spirit close to God who has always had more faith than me, who became the Lord ten days ago.
I guess this can't be helped.

Surely Keti would have been in a similar situation if Lionel had ordered her to do so, and it was easy to imagine who would take priority over me or Lionel.

Well, convincing or not is never equal to me feeling nothing....

I didn't even have to think about this when I came to this world...

　It's my own secret that I thought about that and felt nostalgic for Melatni's life.


　When I told the three of them this morning, Cressia looked like she was about to cry, Lisian glared at Milfine, and Milfine bowed deeply and apologized.
　I told the three of them that this was compulsory and that they could break their slave contracts now, but all three of them refused to do so.
　Thus, the three of us made a pact with the three of us that if you acted against me and my plan, the Healer's Guild, the slave crest would automatically disappear.
　Once a day, I asked Keti and Nahlia to be in charge of checking the slave crests, and I stopped spending time on this.


'Nahlia will continue to teach all of the slaves literacy and common sense,'
Yes, sir.
　I've often asked Nahlia if you would like to join us, Lady Luciel? That being said, there is no time for that.

''Kefin's squad will patrol the area around the guild, and Yarbo's squad and Bardell's squad will be asked to flush out the opposing forces without being overwhelmed.
"Yes.
　That's a very good answer.
　Hoping that they will reform wholeheartedly, I called out to Lionel and Ketty and decided to leave.

"Lionel, Ketty, let's go see the bear-beastman tribe first.
"Ha.
　He left the Healer's Guild after calling out to Jord-san.

　He came to meet the bear-beast race, and there were a few tiger-beast race members there.

''Good morning.''
　The tiger-beast people who hadn't noticed me, the tiger-beast people who called out to me were surprised to see me bail and left as if they were running away.

''Guess what?''
It's a little disconcerting, don't you think?
Yalvo's team will be after you today, so don't worry.
　Ketty replied with a laugh next to Lionel's pretense of thinking.

'What do you know about it?'
I've been doing some research on the centaurs and I found out they were involved with the tiger-beast race.
　I looked it up yesterday, so Ketty is still a hell of a lot better than that.
''Well you can report that sort of thing in case you want to.
　Ketty laughs and removes her gaze.
　What a comical thing this is, but it's soothing.
''Well I'll be careful, Nya.

''Huh. Well then, let's start negotiating while we hear what the tiger-beast race is doing here?
　I knocked on the house where the tiger-beast tribe was, and Lionel stopped me as the door was about to open with a great bang.
''Dah-hungya!''
　A bang and now the sound of something hard hitting the door and a voice was heard, and when Lionel slowly opened the door, there was a bear-beast man holding his head down.

'Isn't this Lord Brian?'
　How can you tell them apart?
　I had to heel and recover, seeing a surprising side of Lionel.



　A recovered Lord Brian woke up, and when he noticed us, he invited us into his house, looking like he was in a bad way.

'I thought you were interrupting something, sir?
''Well we're a species of few, so there's a lot going on.
　Lord Brian laughs emphatically.

'I see. If you would be so kind as to trust me to speak with you?
I am aware that Lord Luciel is currently the representative of Yenis. However, please understand that this is an inter-species matter.
　Lord Brian said that, but doesn't he realize that he has completely exposed his relationship with the tiger-beast man?

'I see. Well, I think I'll go home for now.
　I laugh and tell that to Lord Brian.
''Well there was something you wanted to talk to me about, wasn't there?''
'Yes, but we need to establish a little more trust, Hachimi we can talk about it when we're ready to trust each other.
　I laughed again and then stood up, and the voice of Lord Brian, with his impatient voice, echoed through the house.
'Ha, isn't Hachimi a story about honey?'
''Shh~. This is a confidential conversation, so we'll talk about it once we've established a little more trust.
　I stop my index finger in front of my nose and speak in a whisper, checking both sides.
'What do you mean?'
Hmmm.
　I stopped just before I pulled out a 100ml vial and handed it to Lord Brian, pretending to be distressed.
'This is honey. If you are ready to trust me, please come to the Healer's Guild.
　I told him and this time I properly handed it to Lord Brian.

　Lord Brian shivered as he opened the lid of the bottle and licked the honey from it, dripping it into his hand.
　He began to shake violently and put the lid on the bottle and ran out the door.

　In the next moment, his body emitted light and with a bobbing sound, Lord Brian became huge.
　And then he let out a terrific yell, "Kumar!

' '........isn't it bigger than before?
There are many kinds of beastmen...
You sputtered, meow!
　As I listened to the two men's bare amazement at their remarks, I wondered if this would indicate that they had eaten honey. With that thought in mind, I decided to nail him with my joy, but only after the gigantism was over.


　About five minutes later, a guard of wolf-beast and dragon people came over to see what was going on, but when I explained to them that this was what happened when I gave them the leftover honey, they agreed and left.
　I held my head in my hands as I realized that this is something that happens every time.


　It wasn't until 30 minutes after I became huge that my body became small.
　

　By the way, it seems that it was Sage-sama who spread the Kneeling to the beastmen, so I already determined that Sage-sama was a reincarnated person and Japanese.

''I didn't expect honey to make me that huge, but I'm not angry, so please look up.

'What do you mean? I've never tasted honey of such high quality and purity, but also honey with a concentration of magic. If you're a bear-beast man, it's only natural for you to swear allegiance.
　That honey is such a top quality...
　It's a good thing I saved the Hatch tribe.
　After such an exchange, I asked him about the tiger beastmen earlier, and this time he pompously spoke.

''There are a total of ten beastman tribes in Yenis, but they were originally fourteen tribes.
What about those four species?
Cattle-beastmen, horses-beastmen, apes, and elephant-beastmen. They were driven out of Yenis for various reasons.
''Well the first thing I heard was that they were those who didn't want to be tied to this city or any other race, or to the wide Yenis lands, and wanted to flaunt their territory?''
　Lord Brian opens his mouth, shaking his head.
'The tribe was small in numbers, or was driven out in repeated battles. No one wants to build a village or settlement where demons are roaming around.''
Well what about those Tigers who were just here?
''You must not cooperate with Lord Luciel, you must continue to distribute medicinal herbs to the Medicine Guild as you have always done, and you must not divulge that to any other species.
What if I break it?
"You will be harassed like the centaurs.
　I really don't know what to do about it, including Shazza.
　Unlike the dragon race, he's very black-hearted. Oh, we'll stop by the Adventurer's Guild afterwards.

I'll send a messenger tomorrow night. I will send a messenger for you tomorrow night, please follow him to the Healers Guild. You will be asked to pledge once there, but I won't do anything bad to the Bear Beastmen.
"Master Luciel, no, Master Luciel, I beg you to take care of the Bear Beastman.
　He must have been under a lot of pressure.
　Lord Brian came again, bowing deeply and asking.
'Let's work hard together.'

　Lord Brian saw us off and we headed to the Adventurers' Guild.



'What do you think?'
'I have no problem with Lord Brian, but it's definitely going to be rough. Once you have power, it's hard to let go.
　Lionel says, nodding heavily.

'There's a chance you'll need to abstain, Nya.
　Keti is smiling, but she feels somewhat bad mood today.

''Well I wish you wouldn't do that but there's a high risk that the balance of power will collapse.
If you wanted it to be more like the adventurer's labyrinthine national city of Grandle than it was originally, it would be the difference between late and early.
"Luciel-sama will do what she can. Master Lionel and I will support him.
Yeah. I'm counting on you.

　I say, and they look at each other and open their mouths, laughing.
'It's itchy all of a sudden, isn't it?'
Well that's the second time I've sputtered today.

　I was especially grateful for these two, because I felt especially grateful yesterday.
Here we go.
　We walked towards the Adventurer's Guild in our usual formation with me in the middle, Lionel walking in front and Ketty guarding the back.
