Elf Tensei Kara no Cheat Kenkoku-ki-Chapter 4Book : -3

After stuffing the chickens in, I regrouped with Roleau and the others and set off for Erucy.

The chickens had a terrible stench and were loud on top of that, severely decreasing the enjoyment of the trip, but the prospect of being able to eat eggs allowed everyone to endure the torture.

The luggage rack of the carriage now heavier than usual, even with all of its magically modified components and the horses it still took three days to finally reach Erucy.

As we reentered Erucy, I made sure that Rera talked to Roleau.

Rera at least did understand the necessity of settling down, and her marriage to Roleau would lead to the development of Erucy. Roleau himself would grow from this. Most importantly, if Roleau was left to his own devices, then Yukino would be in trouble.

But thankfully, the two of them were beginning to loosen up quite a bit and Id started seeing them enjoy many conversations together. I could relax now.

As we were gathered around the fire keeping watch and chatting, Roleau said with a grin,

Rera has such a big rack. Im not even exaggerating. Its huge, Chief.

He would also say with a smug face,

That girl definitely has a thing for me. Think shell let me have a round with her? Ah, but I already have my fairy, yeesh. Being a ladies man is rough, yknow?

He would also strike a cool pose, saying

Chief, Ive decided. Im going to trust my feelings. Im going to give her a real bad time. f reewe bnovel

He said plenty of other things, but for the sake of my mental health, I let the rest of what he said pass through one ear and out the other, so I barely remembered anything else.

Kuu and Rera, go ahead and let the chickens into the extension tower next to the goat pen. Lucy and Kona, let everyone in Erucy know that were back.

Roleau and I will load food into the storage at the mayors house and hear from Kurao about what happened when we were gone, and once all the works done, we disband for the day. Its been a long trip, so make sure to rest up.

After arriving in Erucy, the group assigned roles and split up.

Roleau and I arrived at the mayors house, heading for his room. We noticed as we walked around that the house was being cleaned regularly. In fact, this was an even better job than when Lucy and I had cleaned it. Yukino must be working very hard. Id better commend her for that later.

As we entered the mayors room, a man who had been doing desk work looked up.

He looked to be a bit older than Roleau, a slender-faced scholar of an elf who was rare for his race.

Oya, Cyril-sama. I am pleased to see you back safe and sound at last. I, Kurao, have waited ever so impatiently for this day to come. Now, please bestow your wisdom upon this humble Kurao!

Good to be back. Thanks for holding down the fort. And Im not sure what you mean about wisdom, as I have nothing left to teach you.

Nay, there is much more to learn. Until now I have but followed Cyril-samas teachings without fully understanding them, so I wish to hear the true meaning hidden in each and every one of them!

Roleau and I had become increasingly absent from the village, so Kurao was taking over as the stand-in for the newly appointed village leader.

Roleau had left his position as the stand-in, officially serving as the commanding officer in Nettle. This would make him the third most powerful person in Erucy.

Yeah, but that would take a while, so maybe another time.

Please, please do consider. I, Kurao, await your visit always!

Ah, uh-huh.

I didnt even mess with his head, and Kurao still sees me as this role model to the point of being a fanatic.

I would tell him about the duty as a stand-in whenever there was a break from instructing everyone on Nettles training.

I didnt have time back then, so I used some valuable paper and made a manual with the basic essentials on being a leader for him. It was really only guidance with a greatly simplified explanation due to lack of time.

But then this guy went and read the manual hundreds, thousands of times, all so that he could memorize not the contents, but the literal lettersone by one. All this in spite of the fact that I, a perfectionist, had already crammed small letters that would normally fill over a hundred pages onto one paper so as to not waste it.

Thanks to that, Erucy was operating just fine in my absence.

Im always grateful for your hard work. Kurao, its because youre here that I can leave this place in good hands.

Haha, you need not waste such words on me, sir. freewebn(o)vel.com

But, well, Kurao did have a knack for being extremely weak to trouble. He couldnt actually do anything that wasnt written in the manual. This has nothing to do with his intelligence or adaptability. He just fears to the extreme any action that goes against what I want.

For most situations, I just leave him be and tell him to wait until I get back, but if, by any chance, there comes a pressing situation where my instructions cant reach him in time, I do feel concern over what this man will do.

Anything happen while I was gone?

Indeed, something did. An envoy from Bell Erucy brought us a letter from the empire.

Ill take it now, then. Thanks. Ill read it later.

Bell Erucy is the current location of their supply base in this region, and its essentially treated as the village that governs Erucy.

I assume the letter contains the answer regarding whether the empire is willing to buy armor and swords from us.

Anything else
