Fun Territory Defense of the Easy-Going Lord ~The Nameless Village Is Made Into the Strongest Fortified City by Production Magic~

r for the village and one for the town,  right?”

“Yes, let Dee and the others would be the Knights of Seat in the village.
The new town would be the Knights of Espada.”

“… is this retribution, perhaps?”

“What’s that about? I’m eight years old, so I have no idea.”

I chuckled at Espada, who looked at me with a stern stare.
It was an amusing thing to do.

***

After only three weeks of surveying and preparing for the new town, the residents of the neighboring village came to our village.

“Thank you for accepting us.
I am the head of Fabia village and my name is Spelvie.”

“Nice to meet you.
I’m Van Nay Fertio.
I welcome everyone to our village from today.”

I greeted the village chief in a friendly manner.
Then he turned to the villagers in the back.

“Welcome to Seat Village! We welcome you all! We know you must be tired from your journey, so today we will have a barbecue party to deepen our friendship, and then we will let you sleep in the houses we prepared! Let’s start the barbecue party!”

As I announce the start of the barbecue, the residents of Seat Village start cheering and passing out drinks.
The meat is already cooked and everything is ready for the three hundred people who are expected to show up.

The people from the neighboring villages are puzzled, but they can’t resist the smell of the roasted meat, and they scatter into the place.

Well, I hope the first interaction would be okay.
I would appreciate it if there were no fights or anything like that happening later.

As I was looking around to see if I could make the rounds, Arte came trotting towards me.

“Van-sama, would you like to join us?

She seemed shy.

“I’m just curious about the interaction between the villages.
I don’t mean to be rude, but would you like to walk with me while we eat meat?”

“Eh, ah, yes! I will!”

I smiled at Arte, who came up next to me with a gorgeous smile on his face, and Till and Camsin looked at me with smiles on their faces.

They seemed to want to say something.

“Shall we all make the rounds while eating meat?”

“Yes.”

“Then, follow me.”

Thus, the Lord of the place and his guardian Till begins their rounds along with Arte.

“…We need more chairs.
Oh, you strong-looking guy over there.
Could you please bring me three chairs?”

“Whoa! Van-sama! Chairs? Of course.”

The uncle moved quickly and hurriedly, and brought the chairs to the old men from the neighboring village, along with bringing some to us.

Hmmm.
That’s a good move.

“Thank you, Uncle.
If you like, maybe you should join the Knight Order of Seat we’re making.”

“Eh?”

“Think about it.”

“Oh, yes! I’ll think about it.”

Uncle replied in a confused but loud voice.

Good, good, we got one knight because if I don’t get the manpower before Espada, it could end up looking like a hodgepodge of knights.
Those who could fight as warriors would be immediately recruited.

As I thought about this, I looked around and saw the residents of the neighboring village looking at me.

“Hmm? Is something wrong?”

I tilted my head, and the residents came closer to me.

“Um, my lord.
Do you have any work for us?

“We need to find a way to make a living…”

“We don’t have any savings.”

They were all expressing such pleas and concerns, and I nodded my head in understanding.
However, the original inhabitants of Seat Village also have minimal work to do in the fields, dismantling defeated monsters and beasts, and transporting materials.
Mining for ore has not yet been taken care of.

“Right.
Then for now I would ask you to manage the stores and inns that we will be starting soon.
Or maybe you can help cultivate the new fields?”

When I responded, the residents raised their eyebrows in puzzlement.

“I’m fine with the fields, but I’ve never done business before…”

“Don’t worry, it will be fine.
There are all kinds of jobs, like dealing with customers, keeping the merchandise in order, cleaning, etc.
I’ll get someone else who can do the money calculations and other things.
“

When I said this, everyone was relieved and patted their chests.

Good.
Now I could recruit a lot of Seat Village residents into the Order.
The more people we have, the more things we can do, so I’m looking forward to it.

Now, let’s hurry up and build a new town!
