When Carrot, who had moved Tuna to the table and approached, tried to snap his fingers again, a rare scene occurred where people rushed back. Meanwhile, Crank was carrying a shield.
“By the way, is my princess a little late?”
“According to the information I got when I went to the market in the Border Guard Village not too long ago, they said they had already arrived. However, it seems that you have a lot of work to do after dealing with various cases.”
“hmm!”
Just-!
f*ck!
“Ah?!”
Geo, who was grooming his longsword from a distance, fell forward. Boris, who was beside him, shouted out loud.
“hey! Carrot!”
One of the adventurers who giggled at that said.
“Would you like to stop doing that?”
“Eh? Is this comfortable? It can be subtracted at once, so this is a bet.”
Aple’s fellow sorceress Poppet said.
“Wow, you’re an automaton, but you also make bets with your master?”
“sure. It’s thrilling. This is 100,000 Leeds Bread.”
“Betting money?!”
Sujeonno Crank is attacking Jenga by moving his large body acrobaticly as if he can’t lose this time, but Ariete and Vita came to see a lot of people gathered at the well.
“Wow, is that Jenga? I did a lot at the temple when I was young.”
“Um, is it a game? Can I try something too?”
Ariete, who had approached with a rustling sound, touched it immediately.
“Uh huh?”
rumble?!
As the staggering Jenga tower collapsed, Crank, who had been protruding his butt on the bench and was holding a piece of Jenga wood, made a pitiful expression.
Ariete, who started to break out in a cold sweat, and the bizarre-looking crank met their eyes.
“Suddenly I have something to do… … !”
After Jenga, the tag team started. Unlike usual, Ariete was the tag this time.

As Crank predicted, Princess Giuseppe was wasting a lot of time inspecting the site after receiving a report on the human trafficking case prior to the investigation of the through-hole in the mountains.
In order to let the outside world know that this case is a very serious matter and that the royal family cares about it, this visit to the site was considered more important than the through-hole investigation.
And Princess Giuseppe, in order to thoroughly show that she was not here to play, and that she was not being taken lightly, was drying the blood of those in charge who neglected this terrible incident until it happened under the guise of an inspection.
For this reason, reports, instructions, and corrections for punishment of those involved and prevention of recurrence continued every day.
At her visit, a sharp wind blew in the Ark City of Wellmain and the Far East Border Guard, many personnel were replaced, and notoriety and respect for Princess Giuseppe soared at the same time.
So it was more than a week after Tuna’s arrival that she entered the pioneer village beneath the Bourne Mountains in Wales.
“Whoa! It was five days like a year’s worth of work.”
Princess Giuseppe, who fixed her make-up and changed her uniform in the moving automated transportation vehicle, turned her face away with a clearly tired expression.
“Well, can’t we drink a Potion of Courage? You say you’re using more power than you can?”
“It’s not possible. If you eat it carelessly, it will be harmful to your body.”
Princess Giuseppe made a pitiful expression.
“I’ll confess, actually I came out to play.”
The female aide Liliane, who already knew her intentions, let out a deep sigh.
“When you arrive at the pioneer village, congratulate the adventurers and wrap up today’s schedule. It was too late anyway.”
After getting ready, Princess Giuseppe sat down and said with her eyes closed for a moment.
“Well, let’s take a break and play from tomorrow.”
However, Princess Giuseppe began to get very excited when she arrived and saw the faces of the proud adventurers who had accomplished the feat.
“Great! I commend you for your role and hard work!”
Princess Giuseppe, who felt good after seeing the pioneer village made to a considerably better level than she had heard, opened her arms and congratulated the adventurers who had worked hard so far. She even held each one by the hand, asked for their names, and did not hold back their compliments.
Thanks to this, the adventurers who were staying without intentionally returning were thrilled and looked like they were going to faint.
I took the princess’s hand!
Princess saw me!
Princess! Princess! aaa!
“hmm? you?”
Giuseppe raised his head. Crank put a hand on his chest and said hello.
“I am a crank belonging to the Argon Adventurers Guild. I’ve seen you once before.”
Carrot next to her lifted her skirt slightly and lowered her eyes.
These were the people I met when I visited Argon as the head of the Bronze Door investigation. I remembered the small automaton riding the big master’s wooden horse, because it seemed like I wouldn’t forget it even after many years.
“Crank and Carrot, of course I remember. gave me strength Thank.”
Princess Giuseppe, who praised the adventurers who worked hard to protect the refugees and build the settlement, also thanked the dwarves for their great help.
The dwarves, who had been summoned from work and had sullen faces, looked at her face and asked.
“Is there anything like beer besides that mouth-watering sound?”
Just-!
The princess, confidently closing her eyes, flicked her white-gloved fingers, and the automaton and soldiers began carrying a large keg of beer.
Liliane, who saw through to the fact that material expression is more important than words for those who work diligently every day with only hope in a place where supplies are scarce, prepared various supplies, and smiled lightly.
“I left it cold.”
“Woohyo-!”
Dwarves, including Gustav, rushed in, opened the lid of the keg, and started drinking beer full of foam.
Leaving them alone, Princess Giuseppe called the townspeople together, gave a speech, and added it at the end.
“To those of you who fulfill your duties and responsibilities given by the state and faithfully pay your taxes, we will give you the rights that healthy citizens of Lisnet should have as a gift.”
The princess’s words were immediately interpreted by the aide and rang out loudly, and the listeners cheered.
After the proclamation ceremony, a feast was held with prepared beer and food. Those who were treated to the delicacies ate and drank to their heart’s content, expressing gratitude with their whole bodies.
Many of the Cyphers were drinking beer for the first time in their lives, so there were a lot of people with tears in their eyes as well as surprise.
Princess Giuseppe, who gave the banquet, inspected the village briefly before returning from her schedule. Then we stopped in front of a large warehouse.
“What is that?”
Crank, who followed, explained.
“It is an automatic loom. A dwarf made it. I thought I would need a source of income for these people in the future, so I prepared it.”
When I entered the building without permission, the complex automatic looms were lined up in a row, and several of them stood still halfway through weaving.
“Can you see it moving?”
At the request of the princess, after a while, the brown-skinned, silver-haired maiden sat down cautiously and began to handle the loom with familiar gestures.
Drooling! whiz! good!
Every time the automatic loom machine moves, the completed cotton cloth is being rolled back.
Seeing this, the eyes of Princess Giuseppe and other aides were bloody.
Since the textile industry is responsible for one axis of food, clothing and shelter, it is regarded as important as a national basic business, and even in Liznet, its own production did not keep up with consumption, so the shortfall was always dependent on imports.
however,
good! Dreuk! good!
As soon as she sat down, the pretty young girl with brown skin turned the loom in a trance.
The girl, who had come to her senses, let go of her hand and muttered something with a broad smile.
The aide translated.
“I like the loom machine because it is easy to work with.”
Princess Giuseppe, who smiled brightly, asked.
“Is there anything you need? I will arrange anything for me.”
The girl, who had her eyes wide open, listened to the interpreter and carefully opened her mouth.
the aide said.
“Thread, I need a thread. They say they used up everything they prepared.”
Princess Giuseppe, with her snouty nostrils wide open, nodded as she held the girl’s shoulders firmly.
“I am truly happy that you have become citizens of this country. Don’t worry, I will prepare for you.”
The tin giant was delighted with the remark.
After that, Princess Giuseppe, who finished her inspection by walking around the neighborhood, slipped away so as not to disturb the villagers who were having a party. Then, he called his aides into the conference room inside the automatic transportation vehicle.
“That loom, what do you think? Do you also think the same as me?”
The aides grinned.
“The vines rolled in whole pumpkins. It’s far in the future, but this could be a good source of funding if run well. Of course, trade in cotton industrial products will also be brisk.”
“I heard that everyone said they were in charge of cotton production in their hometown. The facilities are formidable, so as long as the materials are supplied steadily, we can process them into products right away.”
Princess Giuseppe, who was sitting cross-legged, looked up at the crank with interest.
“I want to hear what the market plan for the fabric made like that is. Sir Crank.”
kyung?
Unexpectedly brought in as a witness, Crank shook his helmet.
“No, I thought of simply selling it in the market and exchanging it with daily necessities… … !”
A young man among the aides pushed up his glasses and said.
“With current facilities, that may be the limit, but let’s look at it from a distance. What do you think will happen if the population and facilities increase?”
Crank was taken aback by their comments going too far, but he soon drew the line.
“No, my role as an adventurer ends here. I want to leave the rest of the work to competent people like you.”
Princess Giuseppe laughed.
“Kyung has no greed.”
“An adventurer takes an adventure for the sake of an adventure. I’m not interested in politics or anything like that. just… … .”
The kind giant in the helmet muttered lowly.
“I want them to go on with their quiet daily lives.”
got money too
Of course, he didn’t say anything behind his back. Because Crank also noticed.
But thanks to that, the gaze of people who see him has changed.
Adventurer crank, anything for the money but a basic romantic.
There was a short meeting, but we decided to support under the water, but still watch a little more. The princess’s aides were quite prudent to spend a fortune blindly.
However, Princess Giuseppe, who wanted to keep the saliva on, offered the position of village chief to Crank, who was pointed out as the main axis of the village, but was rejected.
Princess Giuseppe, who had grown up listening to only good things, was a little taken aback when she saw him rejecting her proposal with a single stroke.
“Uh, how much do you want?”
“Money is not the problem. princess.”
The expressions of the escort warriors became ferocious, but the crank, who was in a snowball fight with an ogre, remained calm.
“As I said before, I am an adventurer. I don’t want to stick to just one thing. Instead, I will recommend someone else who might be useful.”
So it was Gran who was on the list.
“Gran?”
Crank, who was finally freed and returned to his colleagues at the party, said looking at Carrot.
“I have to get back. The time of atonement must continue.”
“Huh? I promised Gran a fresh start.”
“I heard that if you are attached to it, it is your hometown, but can’t we start anew here? People still need native people to lean on. A quick-witted friend who knows a little bit about this floor would be better.”
Carrot pursed her lips and looked at the crank.
“Oh, it’s nice to hear about your hometown. But Gran wasn’t very quick-witted. And you were a bad guy for a second, weren’t you?”
Crank turned the pitch.
From noble mtl dot com
“Rather, since I have experience in that way, it might be a better fit. You’ll recognize similar scammers and scoundrels. And we just need to have an insurance policy on our side.”
“insurance?”
Carrot’s eyes widened.
