After waiting for a while, the black-haired woman returned and guided us to the mayors house.
Just like the village of n had said, every building in the town looked as if they had just been recently built. The interior of the mayors ho was painted blue and it slled of leaves and fresh pine. It reminded of a cozy modern cabin. If amateurs really built this place, Im very impressed.
Maybe so of the n are experienced carpenters.
We were now in the waiting room which was around eight tatami mats in size and there was no real furniture. This room, in particular, reminded of the entry rooms to older Japanese hos. There was also a hearth in the centre of the room with small mats that seed to be made of interwoven ivy.
I was sitting on one of these mats across from the mayor.
What have we done to deserve such a visit from a mber of the nobility?
The mayor was a woman in her late thirties with brown hair parted down the middle that extended down to her shoulder blades. Her eyes were also brown. She was rather plump and her stomach extended further out than her chest. Before moving to this new town, Im sure she mustve lived a rather lavish lifestyle.
I dont have any ti to waste so Ill get straight to the point.
Ester-chan was the one speaking.
Good opening line. She looks really cool right now.
I wish I could beco as confident as her, but I feel like that day is still far away.
I want you to open talks with the village of n.
why do you know about our problem with the n of our village?
We spoke with them!
I see.
Even though this woman is the mayor she still doesnt compare to a high-ranking noble like Ester-chan. It must be rare for a mber of the aristocracy to co and visit a small village.
And why would a noble such as yourself be concerned with the problems of us commoners?
Her question was posed in a way that almost accused Ester-chan of not caring about the problems facing the common people.
But the lolibitch didnt back down. I guess she was expecting this.
A man protects a woman, a woman supports a man. They work together day in and day out. Theyre each necessary to one another. This is only natural. The way things are between your two villages isnt beneficial to anyone. Do you understand what Im saying?
.
Ester-chans point seed valid. By cutting out all of the n, they have less people to help out around town and the sa goes for the ns village.
This bitch knows what were talking about.
n are necessary to won and won are necessary to n.
But this didnt seem to matter to the mayor.
I understand what youre trying to say, but we did not co to this decision lightly. There were very serious reasons for us to co to this decision.
Serious reasons? Like what?
The n were oppressive.
really?
You say a man should protect a woman? Well if they had done that we would have stood by them and supported them wholeheartedly. But the n of our village repaid our support with rciless violence.
.
I wasnt expecting that.
If what she said is true, the problem here is much more serious than we had originally thought. It will be more difficult than expected to reunite their villages.
But if these n are willing to beat their won, why would they just hand over the village they had only just finished building?
So is it possible the n are the victims here?
Do you still wish to bring us together, noblewoman?
I do.
Following the mayors question, Ester-chan gave a slight nod. Her previous montum seed to be gone after this new revelation.
If thats the case, I wont say its impossible.
Thank you for being reasonable. Ill see if I can find out the truth.
The lolibitch stood up after saying this.
In response, the mayor gave a deep bow while remaining seated.

We left the wons village after our eting with the mayor.
After lifting Ester-chan in my arms, we slowly began to rise into the sky and began flying in the direction of the ns village. If it were up to , Id have been entirely okay with leaving these two villages to work out their problems on their own, but Ester-chan wasnt satisfied yet.
What do you expect to accomplish by returning to the ns village?
I need to hear it from them myself. I cant accept things as they are.
I see.
I understand what she ans. They didnt appear to be bad n and they were polite to Ester-chan when we were there. They also had to work together with the won in order to build that first village. However, from what I know, a man who is violent towards his family tends to act like the perfect husband in public.
Based on my own experience, a man thats good at ho and in public is in small number. In most cases, one area must suffer. Either he has a good family life and he struggles at work, or he excels at work but is distant from his family. This is how balance is achieved. Thats why being single is for the best.
Damn it.
But, if what that woman said is true, these n could be dangerous.
Are you worried about ?
Yeah, well, I dont want you to get hurt.
Ah~, youre so kind. It makes so happy!
dont most people not wish to see their friends get hurt?
But, be careful. There are plenty of won in this world that will take advantage of such kindness.
Ester-chans expression was serious.
Well, I guess Ill just have to stay with her until shes satisfied.
It only took us a few minutes to return to the ns village. If I look closely, I can see the n have all returned to whatever they were doing when last we visited.
We landed in the village square just as we did before.
And the n all surrounded us once more.
It was just as stressful as the first ti around.
Noblewoman, how did things go at the wons village?
The sa man that we spoke to before asked this.
A brawny man with short brown hair.
Ester-chan quickly responded to him.
Did you abuse the won of your village?
She didnt sugar coat it at all.
I wouldve found a way to ask that without being quite so direct, but I guess thats one of Ester-chans strengths. So I decided to remain quiet and let the lolibitch continue as she pleased.
Did we abuse the won?
Yes. Thats what the won claid.
Of course not. I guess I cant answer for every family, so its possible there may have been fighting in a family, but I feel confident in saying it was nothing serious. We all worked together to rebuild and I know these n are good people.
The sa man as always answered her.
But the other n in the crowd nodded in agreent.
I see.
Ester-chan looked deep in thought.
Which of them is telling the truth?
When I looked over the crowd of gathered n, all I saw were intimidating, macho faces staring back at . Its easy for to imagine one or two of these n turning violent. Even though theyre wearing heavy clothing, I can see how massive their chests are and their arms are like logs. Those could be deadly weapons on their own.
This soy sauce face wants to believe the wons village.
Are there no children in either of your villages?
The won kept the children so theyre all in the other village.
hmm.
There are only n over the age of ten in this village. So families refused to be separated, however, so there are so young boys still in their village. But due to their young age, Im sure theyre all working inside their hos. That is why you didnt see any around.
That explains why all I can see before is a sea of muscle.
If I think about the future of a child, Id say its best for them to group up in the wons village. If a boy were to grow up in this village, I have a feeling hed never graduate from being a virgin.
The village of n is scary.
I believe I understand.
Ester-chan spoke as I was still unsure of who to believe.
Then, noblewoman, what do you plan on doing?
The macho representative asked her while staring at the ground.
Ester-chan responded confidently.
You will quickly choose five representatives of this village and we will have the won choose five of their own. Your chosen representatives will et and we will co to a resolution.
Really!?
Hurry and gather your representatives. Well go speak with the won and tell them about our plan.
Thank you so much!
In this village of refugees, the lolibitch has decided to organize a mixer.
