「Seiji-sama, what are the other things that need to be done?」
I told the plan to Aya and Elena.
1. Improve the food situation of『Shinju town』by selling foodstuff.
2. Visit the『Earth temple』(and the『Wind temple』too, while we’re at it.)
3. Purchase equipment that amplifies magic.
4. Check the situation of each town.
「Oniichan, why are we going to buy equipment that amplifies magic? For cosplay?」
「Actually, I’m worried so I’d like to have it as a countermeasure when something happens.」
「What are you worried about?」
「The goblins and orcs are trying to incite a war between humans and demons.」
「Un.」
「What are those fellows gonna do during the war?」
「Ah! They’re going to use the chance and attack!?」
「Oh, it’s highly likely.」
「What does the equipment that amplifies magic have to do with it?」
「The troublesome part about the goblins are their large numbers. Because, even the mere Prince commanded that number of troops, I think, the units that the King would lead will probably be a lot more than that.」
「We’re going to catch the whole herd with one throw using magic!」
「I guess… but it’s only for the time of emergency.」
「Well then, as for checking the situation of each town…」
「We don’t know where the goblins and orcs are aiming at. Furthermore, there will be a shortage of soldiers in all of the towns because they are taken to war.」
「Oniichan, we also need to be careful about the Slums in Shinju town.」
「That’s right, it’s also dangerous there…… if they make a simultaneous attack, we’re going to be short on hands.」
We put the strategy meeting on hold and decided to finish our other plans. We returned to『Shinju town』and went to the merchants’ guild.
「If you have any foodstuff, we will buy it at three times the norm!」
「Three times!? Why do you want to buy it that high?」
「Actually…… someone stole a significant amount of foodstuff which the aristocrats’ army have brought. Together with all the military units, we ended up buying all the foodstuff in town……」
This is, a『Starvation tactics』caused by someone?
「I’ve brought a certain amount of flour. Is the orc’s meat edible?」
「It’s very much appreciated. The orc’s meat is also very popular amongst the soldiers. Where are the goods?」
「Because I brought them here with me, please tell me were to put the goods.」
「Well then, please put them in the warehouse at the back.」
「I understand.」
When I went around the warehouse at the back, a macho-man leisurely stood in front of the empty warehouse.
「What is it? There’s no food, the warehouse is empty.」
「I’ve come to deliver foodstuff.」
「Seriously!? Where are the goods?」
「I’m carrying it using magic.」
「Magic!?」
