Next to it is a large ground and a small ranch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to the ranch is a trading post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had Youko be the person in charge of Village Five and because of that, the village chief’s mansion was called Youko’s mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teleportation gate that connects to Big Tree Village is in its basement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Youko’s mansion is considered as the private space of the acting village chief so it is treated as a normal house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Presently, 20 servants are working there whom Youko chose personally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they live there, the teleportation gate is a secret to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are covers for that secret but it seems like the servants have never come to investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, there are three new mercuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They work as Youko’s assistant too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hih Foguma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man who looks like a middle-aged veteran warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looks like someone who’d rather cut someone with a sword than talk but he’s surprisingly the scholar type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In case of emergency, he’ll be the head of the army organized by the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seems to be popular with the widows of Village Five.

Her intuition makes her unable to overlook important information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s now based in Village Five and she will gather and organize information here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news and prices of crops in various places are important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, she seems to be in the process of selecting and training personnel for information gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why would an information gatherer need training in dagger arts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it for self-defense?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Youko’s mansion is supposed to be a private space, Youko performs her official duties as acting village chief in the village council hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village council hall consists of a large conference room and a small private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small private room is Youko’s office. She handles government affairs in that room as the acting village chief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several men and women are working there too. They were selected by Youko to be her secretaries in Village Five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These secretaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wonder if they already have experience as secretaries. They’re amazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Youko executes her job as the acting village chief way better than I thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next time, let’s cook Youko’s favourite dish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large conference room has chairs and tables arranged in a circle. There is but one chair that is higher than the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I saw it, I thought it was Youko’s seat but that wasn’t the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s my seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the right side is the seat of the acting village chief, the secretary guiding me explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is that so?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, can you humor me? Is it normal for a place like this to have a chair higher than the rest…..no?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s pray that I won’t have any opportunity to attend a meeting at the village council hall of Village Five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s also a canteen in the village council hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss of the canteen here is someone who worked for Marla at Big Roof Shashaato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I’m still immature but please take care of me from now on.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curry served is delicious enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The church is run by Celes and some priests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard that all ceremonial rituals of Village Five were to be held here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know about weddings and funeral….ah, you have something like an adulthood ceremony?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are new year festival and harvest festival too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems like the last two will be held only with the cooperation of Youko.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It will be hard but do your best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground is the place where they can hold an event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On normal days, it serves as a playground for children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is quite a wide place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small ranch is a stud farm for horses and a parking lot for carriages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is only temporary since we are planning to build a large ranch at the foot of the mountain….it has already been completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, shouldn’t I have let the unicorn stay here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shouldn’t?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You were able to complete it with the help of the ranch where I left the unicorn?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the horses here are also from that ranch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is that so?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess I have to go there again to say hello.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trading post is a temporary storage and a sales place for the luggage carried by the horse-drawn carriages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real trading place is located at the foot of the mountain so this place is small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, we thought of holding all trade transactions here but there was a concern about the slopes being too steep which is too tough for the horses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That concern was raised by the adventurers in this area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upper trading post now acts more as a luggage area of traders at the foot of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The construction speed at the side of the mountain is also comparable to the construction speed at the top of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess they have a lot of manpower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it is currently winter, construction seemed to have minimized to a reasonable degree….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, looking from above, it is quite lively so see a lot of places under construction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the current population….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s not worry about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll leave it to Youko.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is cold in winter but I can’t see snow which is different from Big Tree Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hear that it doesn’t snow here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s also not that cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is a small mountain so the wind is strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems like each house has its own measure against the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s probably the reason why doors and windows here don’t use hinges but are sliding instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is true for the window but the doors are sliding doors in order for it not to block the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place is on a side of a mountain so it is hard to widen the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is a certain trait of a region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the most prominent feature is the fall prevention fences and nets installed in various places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting nets in a residential area, could it be that someone has already fallen before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wonder if that is the case since the color of the roofs are different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I never received a news that someone died so I guess that person is only injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope that person is not seriously injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of horse-drawn carriages climbed up from the south side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the hood of the carriages lies the crest of the Goroun Company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriages did not stop at the trading post but went towards Youko’s mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are they shipping the seafood from Goroun Company?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looks like I’m going to enjoy fresh seafood tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s cold so let’s make a hot pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stopped my Village Five tour and ran after the horse-drawn carriage of the Goroun Company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was stopped by the guard of Youko’s mansion. He said I’m someone suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………he didn’t remember my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m a little shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>",1721,"2026-06-05T23:08:13.747Z",1,"novelbin.me","172553b79db75f0816e489050a4a9ea44507182255c5b649153796580a9d5d08","isekai-nonbiri-nouka-chapter-305","isekai-nonbiri-nouka-chapter-303",1036,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fisekai-nonbiri-nouka-cover.jpg"]
