I'll explain to the women who were probably caught by the bandits how it happened.

That I am the lord of this land and that the skeletons are creatures created by my magic. At first they were the women who had listened suspiciously, but they gained nothing by presenting their official identity cards as lords.

Well, sure, if you don't have any explanation, you might have no choice but to think I'm an evil man.

"Well, that's why. I wonder if you understand."

"Oh, thank you. I didn't know you were a lord, and I'm sorry..."

"No, it's fine if you were safe. So, you..."

"Yes, I'm Sophia, these two are called Anne and Tida"

A woman named Sophia shows two names each.

It seems that a woman who would be a leader in her late twenties is Sofia, and the girls who would each be teenagers are called Anne and Teeda.

Sophia seems to believe me, but the two girls are still staring at me as if they suspect me somewhere. Don't I trust you that much?

"We were caught by bandits and soon to be sold to slave traders. Thank you so much for your help."

"Again, well. So you're from Bath's village?

Perhaps he was considered a comforter by the bandits, but I don't ask him how. Exactly, it's too heavy to make a woman talk.

If Sophia and the others are from Bath's village, we can send them straight to the village.

"No. We..."

"Isn't that the village of Bath?

"Yes... we are from the village of Yarb"

……

The village of Yarb.

It's about the countryside that once existed in the Earl of Fleetberg. Extremely recently, it is a doomed village.

It was one of the names my father left behind when he checked the dossier. About a year ago, no one left the villagers, saying that only rough fields and houses remained.

But why in the village of Yarb...

"The village was attacked many times by bandits, the young died, only the old man remained, and the field work was unbearable. For this reason, fifteen remaining people, including the village chief, were accepted by the village of Bath. But even in the village of Bath like that..."

"I see, you mean..."

"We weren't originally villagers in Bath's village. So we have no place to go back…"

"Hmm."

You mean you fled the village of Yarb attacked by the bandits, but you were attacked by the bandits even on the way out of it?

I don't know if it's the same bandits, but it's hard to imagine two bandits attacking the village in the neighborhood. Instead, you should assume that the bandits earlier changed their target to Bath's village because no one was in Yarb's village anymore.

From the village of Bath, some may resent Sophia and the others that the bandits came to us because the village of Yarb fled.

"Lord, please, selling us to slave traders..."

"I'm a lord. I don't treat my people that way. Rather, this is how I was making the bandits like me because of my father's lack of power, who was my predecessor lord. There, let me apologize."

"Oh my lord...!

"On top of that, I'd like to talk about your future."

Sophia and the others caught by the bandits and lost their way.

And the village of Yarb, whose origins are that only rough fields remain.

With all these conditions in place, I'll move on.

"In the future...?

"Oh. Aren't you going back to the village of Yarb?

"It's..."

Sophia lays down her face.

They would not have wanted to abandon the village either. No matter how rough the fields remain, it's supposed to be their home town.

She asked me if I wanted to go back there, and I never said no.

"If it's something you can go back to, I want to go back. That village is our home…"

"Right."

"But where the three of us are back, there's nothing the village can do. There are no more villagers left, and the fields are rough all you want. Just the three of us, that village..."

"No. I don't want that. If so, it's quick."

"What..."

If you don't have enough labor, I can provide it.

And only three villages have enough labor to maintain their farmland.

"From now on, I want you to follow my special mission as lord."

"Special Agent, is...?

"Oh. Sophia... I'll leave these skeletons with you. Fifteen bodies."

"Eh!

"Gentlemen, from now on, follow Sophia's orders."

……

Fifteen skeletons, rattling bones with their calves.

It hurts to lose fifteen bodies here at once, but we can make as many as we want if we go back to the Mansion anyway. You can tell me I can make it infinitely if I even endure magic sickness.

Depending on the size of the farmland, more skeletons may be dispatched.

"In the future, I will leave the village chief of Yarb to you, Sophia"

"Oh, no...!

"Skeleton obeys your orders. No matter how vast a field it was, it could work forever without sleep and rest. A skeleton is that kind of creature. Additional skeletons will also be dispatched in the future. At least, we will be able to prevent the village of Yarb from starving. If the Bandits show up, the Skeletons will take care of it."

"Well, that's true... if you work all the time..."

Sophia is confused as she alternates between me and Skeleton.

Well, he was suddenly appointed village chief, so confused and deserved it.

But with the skeletons, even the three of them, the village should be able to regenerate without any problems.

"And we're going to do it."

"Special Agent, is it? What the hell..."

"I want you to make it here."

Sawdust, and Sophia rattles her throat.

You don't have to be so vigilant, I'm not going to let you make banned drugs or anything like that. Instead, I'd say it's extremely legal.

But in our territory, where we haven't even caught up with food production, we still can't produce it at all.

The more territory develops in the future, the more it becomes necessary. And it's best to have a production system in place right now so that we can move quickly when we need it.

"I want you to make cotton"

"Cotton...?

To what I said, an extremely normal 'special case'.

Sophia was looking at me with a question mark all over her face.
