◇Royal Capital - Don◇

"Good work today, how 'bout we get so"

"Yer' an unsociable old htly to my co-worker who cursed me and left the place

The pay froo to theto from Lesseu Earldom for our life wasn't a paradise at all

It's a life where I can't even drink a bottle of ale easily even if I work froht

"Boruto-san, it's been a while"

"Akindo-san! Long time no see!"

The one who appeared in front of ishly was a male merchant who saved us ere attacked by kin and catkin children this time?"

"Yes, that is so"

This h he said he was a merchant exclusively contracted by a noble-sae liker me

"How is the life in Royal Capital?"

"Thanks to Akindo-san for getting a place for us to live, we're getting by alright although barely"

I'm really indebted to this person

"Is that so--if it's hard for you, since Viscount Pendragon-sa for one?"

"By iht"

Looks like Akindo-san who's a e is

Shaving off your hunger by eating weeds and tree skins, several people will die within three years

And even when you can finally harvest some crops, the officials will take 'em all

I don't mind if it's just me, but I don't want to let my child and wife to live such a life

"I hope you can keep what I'm about to say a secret, about that pioneer land--"

"Is that true?"

"Yes, it is"

Unbelievably, on top of having fields where crops can be planted right away, it's fully equipped with houses complete with the minimum furnitures, what's e can use

It's too good to be true even if you take it with a grain of salt You'd norine Akindo-san, who lent old coins with no pressure in pay me

Rather, if he wanted to trick and turn me into a slave, he'd have asked for unreasonable interest froe elder who fled from Lesseu Earldom earlier were turned into slaves by that kind of trick

"T-then I can ask it fro as the contact I'oya Fired by the servant of Hero Nanashi-sa as a contracted eood even though the as hard

Think she was surprised that it was a firinning

"Thank you, Akindo-san I'll talk about it with ood idea"

Akindo-san left after se~ I don't want to!"

"Dear, you forgot the story of our great grandfathers' pioneer village?"

I ie with ly rejected it as expected

Our village only becao, I and my wife lived our childhood in fear of starvation, so this reaction is normal

I told the story I heard fro tricked dad"

"That's right dear There's no way such thing like having ready fields and houses with furnitures can be true"

"No but, Akindo-san said--"

"That's cause Akindo-san is being deceived too isn't it?"

"That person is a softhearted person as even worried about us after all"

I still want to plea back, but no way I can win against to on Royal Capital forever--

"We'll hit the wall if we keep this up We can live without starving cause the food price is stable, but the construction works fro to disappear soon Once the day laborer works decreased, I've to start to seek job in the crowded job e decrease, we can't pay the rent here"

"But but, there's also wages frooya's hter who hasn't beco a waitress in a don bar is no different fro a cheap prostitute

The criuys fro the area, but that doesn't mean there's no more prostitutes or perverted drunkards

As a parent, I don't want to let an unhter to work there forever

"Our live would becoular worker instead of contracted in Echigoya Firhed

I've heard that the people eoya Firh to buy their own house, but only educated people and trained in skill can becooya y'know"

"What is?"

I didn't say it?

"The oya"

"I-is that true?"

"Y-yea"

I nodded to h spirits

"Hey, dad Where's the pioneer village at? Is it Lesseu Earldoon-saon, it's that Pendragon right! 『Pendragon the Woundless』--A Mithril explorer and the one whose feht Sword!"

My daughter put her feet on the desk and thrust her fist toward the ceiling

I also knohat hter heard it from some drunkards, I heard it from someone who liked rumors on the construction site The story sounds faked, but apparently it's the truth

"Dad! That story earlier hter, it see the [Floor Master] were sold for old coins

A merchant's maid as in the bar seemed to have heard it it by accident in the auction venue

"Guess it's okay if Echigoya Firoya is strict with lies after all"

My wifeprobably happened at her workplace

"Then, we're applying?"

The two nodded, and then I went to Echigoya's branch office in the don the next day

It seems they only started the open recruitment in the noon today, the receptionist woman was surprised

The recruitment was overflowed in a blink of an eyes it became a raffle but it seemed ere treated as referrals frorants

I haven't ain after that time, I want to thank him properly at least once
