Episode 114. Penincha (1)

“Place more guards on the right! “Monsters may come out of dark places, so be more vigilant!”

“number of people!”

Knight Jureon’s shout was heard, and the soldiers responded loudly.

The hillside of Rubedon village, where the Penin tea harvest is in full swing.

Knights, soldiers, villagers, and even slaves all found their own tasks and began harvesting hard.

I came here to check out the production of penin tea.

“Everyone died this year. Hehehe.”

The penim tree has young penin tea leaves hanging neatly.

The first leaves to be harvested are the best quality product with the highest price.

I picked a leaf and smelled it.

I could smell the fresh scent of grass under a clear spring day.

One more thing added to that.

“My lord, I feel good this year. The leaves are lush and it seems like something different.”

Chief Keron said with a flushed expression.

Of course it is.

Special measures were taken for penim trees.

In addition to the mana of the flames sprinkled by the dragon, the spirits added their strength.

Undine told me the secret.

If you summon the spirits and bless the Penim tree, the mana blessing will work.

I took some time to play with the spirits around the Penim tree.

As a result, Penincha became Manacha!

Tea leaves containing mana cannot be put on a price.

Every time you drink tea, your mana is recharged.

Not only wizards, but also knights and spiritists will rush in.

Now all you have to do is count the money.

“Hehehe.”

A happy smile that comes out without me even realizing it.

Lee Gye-bong is Kim Seon-dal.

“My lord?”

“Just thinking about it makes me happy.”

“of course. “Thanks to the lord, everyone is happy.”

“Of course you should. In the future, our territory will bloom with laughter and become a place where people can live. “I plan to make that happen!”

“Young, my lord… … .”

The hopeful plan brings tears to Chief Keron’s eyes.

This is my first time seeing a lord like this in my life.

“Chief, how much penin tea do you think will be produced if we harvest it at this rate?”

“If today is the same, the harvest will likely be at least five times greater than in the past.”

“!!!”

Your income will not be five times higher, but tens of times higher.

With this amount of profit, a small estate can easily make a living.

“Faro. Cheer up a little more. “If the harvest is good, I will be able to marry your love, Izelinia, this spring.”

“Uncle, is that really true? “I want to marry Iselinia this year!”

“Then of course! Isn’t it natural that the lord cares so much about me? So stop looking at your love and go about your business. Then, instead of picking the leaves of the Penim tree, you ended up putting Izelininia in your bag. “Kkkkkk.”

“Hohohohohoho.”

“Cluck cluck.”

The residents of the territory, who were picking leaves and begging a young man named Paro, held their bellies and burst into laughter.

Their conversation, heard in the wind, is enjoyable.

A smile spreads across your lips.

The people of the territory live with happiness from the hope they embrace after being born as humans.

Sabagsabag.

I walked the mountain path in spring and headed to the top.

The two knights dispatched led the soldiers and people perfectly.

Jjorong Jjorong.

An unknown mountain bird greeted me.

“Hmm~? Hmmmm~♬”

Humming came out.

A hike with a humming sound.

The soft green landscape burst with vitality everywhere.

As I was walking, it felt like I was taking a forest bath in a natural recreation forest.

“Everyone come out.”

I remembered the spirits and summoned them.

Pot! Paaaat!

Lovely spirits appeared at the call of my heart.

Spirits who do not hide their joy when summoned.

The sylph whirled the tree and created wind.

Undine followed, holding the gnome’s arm.

The gnome followed, stepping on the ground with its short legs.

When the Salamander couldn’t see any dry leaves, he stuck out his mouth and walked briskly.

Sigh.

The spirits were always lovely to see.

Otherworldly companion spirits.

I quietly climbed the mountain with the spirits.

“Does everyone know that?”

“???”

“You went to His Majesty’s birthday party. At that time, I met Princess Fiona… … .”

As I went up, I told him about what happened at the imperial ball.

The spirits listened intently.

Since they were spirits that I had a high affinity with, I quickly became engrossed in the story.

“beautiful… … .”

Before we knew it, we had reached the top of the mountain.

There were no trees around, but instead there was a large stone.

As I stood on the stone, I could see the territory at a glance.

My castle, like an apple box, looked very small in the distance.

The sky was also clear, revealing its blue skin as if trying to show its end.

A spring breeze blows, neither too cold nor too hot.

I felt better, so I gave up and lay down on a flat stone.

Spirits settled down around them.

At that time, a song came out of its own accord.

The song that my mother used to sing to me while I was sleeping… … .

Mom is in the shade of the island

If you go oyster picking

baby left alone

see the house

the sea calls

In a lullaby song

Cut your arm and slurp

I’m falling asleep~♬.

Intoxicated by the spring energy, I hummed softly and sang a song.

The sylph lay on my stomach and looked at the same sky.

Undine sat next to me, holding my hand with moist eyes.

The gnome sat down on a rock and was lost in thought.

Salamander also stuck his tongue out and sat with his legs crossed.

The spirits are like family here.

The spirits and I sat on the top of the mountain and enjoyed a languid spring afternoon.

At this moment, I let go of everything.

The comfort I felt for the first time after coming to the Gaisha continent.

My eyes slowly closed.

How much time has passed?

I turned my eyes and looked around.

The spirits were still asleep around me.

A sylph is on my stomach, an undine is cutting on my arm, a salamander is smelling a fragrant scent under my feet, and a grandfather gnome is lying on my leg.

This was the first time I knew that spirits also sleep.

Hehehe.

I laughed at the sight of the spirits.

Spirits like my babies who believe in me and follow me.

The sun was already setting.

The spirits that sensed my movement woke up.

We watched the sunset together, turning orange.

“Thank you for today too.”

It was healing.

The spirits were sent back.

The returning spirits returned to the spirit world with smiles on their faces as if they were satisfied.

Now it’s time to finish the day’s work.

I came down to the place where penin tea is harvested.

“My lord, today’s harvest is finished!”

Chief Keron and the knights informed me that the work was over when I showed up.

“Thank you all for your hard work.”

“Thanks to you, my lord!”

“Going back to the village.”

“insect!”

He led the men and soldiers down the mountain.

Everyone had smiles on their faces as if they were satisfied with the production.

Leaving them behind, I returned to the castle.

Merchants would come in time for the harvest.

As expected, the castle was crowded.

This means that merchants and mercenaries have arrived.

“Master, are you here!”

Sir Perorin greeted me after returning from work.

Sir Perorin must have had a busier day than me.

His face is also full of a flushed glow.

“Have the merchants arrived?”

“The top of Carmania and three or four small and medium-sized tops came.”

“Hasn’t the news been delivered to the small and medium-sized companies?”

“I delivered it, but I think I came here just in case.”

“We decided to supply it to Magic Tower and Carmania. Please explain and send it to me.”

“I’ll take care of it right away! And the old merchants called Yoan and Fellows from the top of Carmania are waiting in the office.”

“i get it.”

I entered the office while talking to Lord Perorin.

The soldiers also looked bright as if they had heard of the safe harvest of Penincha.

Since it was everyone’s hometown, they enjoyed it as if it were their own work.

“My lord, it’s been a while since I saw you.”

Upon entering the lord’s office, the merchants bowed deeply to show respect.

“You had a lot of trouble coming. Is the Marquis okay? “It’s so disrespectful to greet His Majesty the Emperor on his birthday.”

“The Marquis is safe.”

“Thank goodness.”

“He separately told the lord to take good care of him.”

“ask?”

“He said that over time, you will become the twelfth marquis of the empire.”

Flattery is right.

“Haha, please tell the Marquis that I will take good care of him in the future.”

“yes! All right. And please look forward to it in the future. “Our lives are in the hands of the lord.”

“As long as you don’t make fun of me, you will always be treated appropriately.”

There is no need to betray as long as you don’t break the rules between each other.

“by the way… … .”

I stopped talking and looked at the merchants.

Price negotiations begin in earnest.

“How much do you think the price of peninsula produced this year will be?”

“yes? There was an instruction to purchase at the previous purchase price… … .”

“Whose will it be?”

“Yes???”
