Chapter 97: Werewolf Country
A race of people called demi-humans
Among them, there are those who are divided
In the neighboring countries are wolf people, fox people, and cat people
Each race is divided and forms a nation
What we know as knowledge
The beastmen can take on three different forms.
・Complete men who are good at manipulating mana
・Complete beasts who have excellent physical ability
・Half who can handle both
On the continent, the number of humans is immense.
Even so, the reason why the beastmen are able to have their own country is simply because they are strong.
And now, for the first time...
"Are you Shiro?"
The King of Ulfrica speaks to me
A half with a body that exceeds that of a human
More like a big bear than a wolf
I kneel down, puts my hands on my chest, and say
"Ha! Count Shiro Edgeworth of Berdreich Kingdom..."
"I don't want to hear those words."
I was interrupted. Even though I practiced!
"What, it's not that difficult."
Saying so, the Wolf King descends from the throne
And he walks right up to me...
"Here"
He sticks out his right hand.
"It's a handshake, you know that much, right?"
"Haa..."
I hold out my right hand
The wolf king held my hand
Strong, strong
Oh, not good
It's a contest of strength!
“Ulfrica is all about strength! Come, mighty warrior of Berdreich! Resist!"
This is not good!
If I win, it's not good!
I looked outside and saw Quies watching from a room in the distance.
Why are you there!
And he just gave me a thumbs-up and a smile.
"Nguh!"
I can't afford to be underestimated without even resisting
Moderately, moderately, I grip back.
"Not bad! Kahh!"
He puts more pressure on it.
His face is covered with hair, but I can still see it.
This king's face is red!
"What are you doing!"
"Ouch!"
This incomprehensible power struggle comes to an abrupt end.
Someone hits the king on the head from behind
"Kaa-chan!"
A well-dressed old woman with dog ears is standing there.
"Stop being a brute and behave like a king!"
"But Kaa-chan! I have to show my power as a werewolf!"
"Don't give me excuses when you're about to lose!"
The conversation echoed in the majestic castle's audience chamber
Then I heard laughter from somewhere
Whether it's contagious, that laughter spreads
The laughter was that of werewolf soldiers.
"Damn you all, stop laughing!"
This remark from the king became the final blow
The laughter was so loud that it seemed to echo throughout the castle.
-------
"I'm sorry Count-san."
The person called Kaa-chan apologizes when we changed location.
"No, thanks to you, I learned that Ulfrica is a friendly country."
"No way. No need to be so polite to this old lady!"
We are outside the castle.
In the middle of the meadow.
"It's as he said Kaa-chan! From today onwards, we're formidable friends!"
Everyone grills meat flashily and bites into it, regardless of their status.
"What is that majestic castle for?"
“For external use. People are very particular about how they look."
"Don't you live in the castle?"
"No. Me and Kaa-chan live over there."
The king pointed toward a house made of straw.
"We can't live without touching the soil!"
The wolf king laughed loudly.
On the contrary
"Here, here, human king! Eat more meat!"
Quies, who was offered meat by the soldiers, was at a loss.
"Hey! I can't eat this much! Please give me some vegetables too! Vegetables!"
Having said that, Quies is a big man who can eat a lot of meat.
"Oh, Shiro! You can eat meat too!"
The wolf king piles more and more grilled meat on the plate
“No, give me some vegetables too.”
A human body can't live on meat alone.
"Human food is a pain in the ass."
"We could eat whatever we wanted, so we multiplied."
I don't think all excessive is good.
“Master Gadoga! It seems that the humans at the border have given up and withdrawn!”
"Finally! Did they stick around for 10 days?"
The army that followed us
Maybe they ran out of food
Above all, horses ate a lot
“In the end, they just consumed food and nothing happened. We actually won!"
The king laughed again.
"Well, the army was only about 300 cavalry, by the looks of it."
"We're a mixed army with that young guy. We can't lose."
"Thank you for your cooperation, King."
"Gadoga"
"What?"
“Don’t call me king. My name is Gadoga! I have a great name for it, though, just to intimidate the central."
Come to think of it, everyone calls him Master Gadoga.
"Oh yeah, did Quies offered you a deal?"
"For what?"
“This cooperation isn't a one-time thing. It's a 10-year alliance."
Yeah, I mean the return for military cooperation.
"I hear you're the one who's going to come up with the reward?"
"Me!?"
You're becoming a pain in the ass, Quies!
“Reward… reward… ah, technology!”
"Technology?"
"Yes, I'll sell you fertilizer at a discount."
"Fertilizer... can we eat it?"
As if!
"Fertilizer makes good grass grow."
"The livestock will get fat! All right, let's go with that."
"One more reward! No, it's more cooperation than reward."
It's not as bad as in the center, but it's hard to carry fertilizer up here by horse-drawn carriage.
"What are we doing?"
"I want to establish a technology that will allow us to transport large quantities of goods more easily."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Let me use the land"
"Are you going to build a big road?"
Nice try. It's not a road.
"We'll build a railroad track."
