It had conference rooms and large halls where legislative assemblies happen.
Because the population is rising in the Sanctuary and with its racial diversity, I decided to build a place where everyone can have discussions and make all sorts of decisions.
Well, I’m aware that I went over the top with my idea.
Now, Dwarven and Elven craftsmen were creating statues and ornaments for it.
Since we’ve finally built this facility, we decided to use it to listen to the various discussions with the representatives of the residents of the Sanctuary.
In attendance are Sophia, Akane, Laeva, myself, as well as Charlotte from my aides.
The residents’ representatives are as follows:
With the exception of Vanga-san, the representatives were simply the people who were here the earliest.
「Yes, what is it, Vanga-san?」
「Even if we want something, if we just keep receiving it from you, it would become the ruin of everyone.」
「He’s right. You’ve given houses to live in, fields to plow, and even agricultural equipment. If you’re saying the tax is cheap because you’re concerned for us, entitlement will be right at you.」
When Vanga-san and Melty-san spoke, everyone else nodded in agreement.
「Well, but don’t you have any requests?」 Updates are released by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
When I said that, everyone exchanged looks.
The representatives were saying that everything, even the orchard, breweries, and fields were all provided by me, so simply put, it’s like I am the president of a large company known as the Sanctuary, and the residents were employees being paid wages for their work.
They said they were happy to sell wine, whiskey, crops such as fruit trees, and woodcraft, but they didn’t want to make money for it.
「Well, listen here, Takumi, living in peace here is so much worth so much more than any money or treasure.」
「That’s right. To begin with, I don’t think anyone greedy for money would be able to pass through the Sanctuary’s barrier.」
That might truly be the case if Vanga-san and Melty-san said so.
「Ah, oh right, there are few hunters, so maybe the supply of normal meats isn’t enough?」
「There’s enough monster meat, isn’t there?」
Currently in the Sanctuary, there weren’t that many hunters like Vanga-san. In general in the Sanctuary, there are animals such as rabbits and deer, but there were no edible monsters. That’s why we have training sessions while hunting monsters in the Savage Lands, then sell it cheap and wholesale to the businesses in the Sanctuary. ɌᴀΝƟʙЁ𝘴
「Well, there’s enough to eat even if I don’t go out hunting. According to Dryas-sama, it is a must that we cull some wildlife.」
「Ahh, I get it, so it’s like that?」
Deer was definitely a problem even in Japan.
Aside from harming crops, I’ve heard that they even even eat up sprouting trees.
「I understand. I’ll take that into consideration in case there are too few hunters.」
「Oh, you need not consider it.」
「What do you mean, Akane?」
When I said I’d think about the issue of a lack of hunters that Vanga-san mentioned, Akane vetoed it.
「Did you forget about my Ferryl?」
「Ohh! If you’re bringing that up then Laeva’s Seru-chan is also here!」
「Ahh, there’s Ferryl and Seru.」
If we were to leave it to Akane’s familiar the Luna Wolf Ferryl [1], and Laeva’s familiar Serval Seru to do the culling, the deer wouldn’t increase too much.
「Then I shall use Gloam as well.」
Perhaps because she felt a sense of rivalry, even Sophia mentioned the name of her familiar, Thunder Eagle Gloam.
「Then we’ll solve the lack of hunters by relying on the familiars.」
As we continued to discuss if there was anything else, some had suggested that the annual harvest festival should be made a little bit more showy.
「Hey, Takumi. The number of residents here has increased considerably, should we make the harvest festival even more showy?」
「Making the harvest festival more showy, huh…… that sounds nice. I wonder if the harvest festival would be good as is? There are other festivals too, though.」
Some of the newly immigrated residents have never experienced a festival, so we decided to hold a festival that everyone can enjoy.
「Then let’s have a separate meeting to plan the date and details of the festival. Let’s end it here f or today.」
「Right. It’s perfect since Takumi’s children had just been born, so let’s make a grand festival.」
「The children are blessed with various races as Human, Elf, and Beastkin, so let’s liven it up!」
The first Sanctuary Assembly, we decided to have a showy festival.
Timewise, the harvest festival would be very soon, so it would be a lavish harvest festival like every year, but maybe we should step it up.
Just as we were about to leave, I saw Fluna-san discussing something with Sophia in a whisper, but if there was something going on, she would probably discuss it with me too.
