44 return meeting (2/2)
That's how you improve your living conditions? That's not an easy thing to do... we who have been building the village from the ground up for the past two years know that better than anyone. We know that better than anyone.
”It was Masaru who did it in a few days, no, the very next day. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am sure that Portalim will gradually develop and grow. I am sure that Portalim will gradually develop and grow, not because of my country or my uncle, but because of his advice and ideas. It will be another battle.
”Doesn't that breed more fighting? It is the people who do the fighting when they can afford it, is it not?
Adelina could neither deny nor confirm this, and her face became bitter and her words choked.
I think you don't need to worry about that for the time being. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's a fan of your work. ...If this beastman settlement develops into a city, it will become a trading partner and benefit the city, and they won't let anyone else get their hands on it. I hope that's true.
I hope that's true, but won't other tribes come to fight us even if they don't make a move?
”If that happens, they will fight with us as enemies who threaten their lives and safety. They say that if that happens, they will fight with us as enemies who threaten our lives and safety.
Not only the chief, but also Adelina and the rest of the beasts were startled by these words. What? Didn't I tell you that?
I'm not sure what to do, but I'd like to set up a defense wall to ensure food and safety, and consider the location and size of the city. We need to consider the location and size of the city.
It's true that if we're going to have this many people living with us, we're going to need it. I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you. I'm sorry.
”Oh, I've collected a good amount of flour and dried fish, and I've got some of the tools necessary for pioneering. I've already got a rough idea of what it's going to look like... I wrote it out on a piece of parchment while I was at Portarym. If you build a city while adding things that are missing, you're more likely to have problems later. I'll show my uncle.
I wish my uncle could hear this: .... I wish my uncle could hear this.
I would like to show this to my uncle.” He listened to the explanation with his mouth hanging open as ideas came out one after another.
