I Shall Survive Using Potions!

How much will you use this treasure this time?(Kaoru)

Well, no, I do not plan to use it?(V.Captain)

Eh?(Kaoru)

When I asked the details about it,

It seems his territory managed to overcome the bad crops by releasing stockpile food and the borrowing money of the territory.

However, It seems that he was in a little debt.

As for the treasure of our family, it seems everyone has heard the rumors about it.

And with that,people believesThere are treasures for emergencies in the Larslick territory

And when people ask for debt, we can replyOh. It is not yet a dire situation to use treasures

In the worst case, we can return our debt with the treasures

And just like that, we could borrow loans without taking plain collateral(V.Captain)

Indeed, even though its bad that he cant use the treasure (gold) yet, but keeping it will have such a merit as well.

As for our situation before, even though we could borrow the loans, we still must do something before the crops return to normal again.

Even though we could still hold out but if this kept up, our finance would be exhausted and we would fail to pay the loans.

In that case, we mustaccept a position of the affinity the lord of a big territory that we borrowed money from.

Or I could return the territory to his majesty then it will be annexed to other territories.

In either case, our people will face different treatments with tax rate and various things, it will not benefit our people.

I dont care whatever I do, as long as I can avoid it

And for that reason, I asked you to find the treasure to pay the loans in the worst case.

And now we have fought the treasure.(V.Captain)

What is this? Mr. V. Captain is an amazingly nice guy!

Oh, then its safe to know that treasure is found?

But, if its also known to the country, isnt this bad?

Tax, get over the payment,(Kaoru)

No, theres no problem with that(V.Captain)

Mr. V.Captain immediately denies my doubts.

When our ancestor got the treasure, they have sent taxes to the country properly.

Thats also why no one doubts the existence of our treasure.

If its just a gossip story, there are no fools would lend a lot of money without collateral.

I see.

He was really serious and honest men, his ancestor.

Well, he is the ancestor of the vice commander of a Royal Army and a noble, so he has probably that kind of bloodline.

And I dont dislike those people like that.

Should I give some advice here?

I dont take any responsibility and irresponsible bleeding large service.

However, it is not mine to bleed.

Its a demon job.

Would you like to use it, the treasure?(Kaoru)

Huh?(V.Captain)

V. Captain was surprised.

As I said, lets use it, the treasure that your ancestors left behind!(Kaoru)

Whawhat(V.Captain)

Yeah, life and money on the balance here, so, lets use a number of it.

If there were bad harvest several times in the past, wont there be many bad harvest times in the future, how many times it is until we run out of that treasure?(Kaoru)

Uu(V.Captain)

Well, it was already said that it has been used several times in the past.

And if it is a bad work, what if it was a more intense fellow, the so-called bad harvest?

What if it continues for several years?

There is no mystery even if it goes on for more than 2 years, unlike cold summer climate and pests.

And in that case, the price of food you buy from other towns will also rise.

No, no matter how high the price is, you still need to pay becauseyour citizens are important.

However, you cant sell it(Kaoru)

Uu(V.Captain)

Somehow, he seems to have a scary idea, V.Captain has poor complexion.

To solve this, what you need isnt asymptomatic therapy that responds to temporary problems whenever something happens,

Muu

However, easy said than done. What should I do?

My territory is a poor place with little fertile land(V.Captain)

Yeah, I know.

Otherwise, you wont face such a nationwide bad harvest so many times until it falls into a dilemma.

Although I can not say clearly without confirming the situation, but for the time being.

The cause of the poor harvest still remains until, in addition, its not only your territory.

Please compare the situation in the same way of your place with another territory where it doesnt have the poor harvest.

If it is caused by cold summer, try obtaining seeds that are strong against cold weather from the north, test cultivation.

If drought is the cause, you have to dig deep wells or draw waterways from the river.

Also, with risk diversification, you need to plant not only wheat and corn but alsogrowing more potatoes

Potato can grow even on the lean ground, its growing really fast and its rich in nutrition.

Its also strong against cold weather and high resist to drought.

Because its hard to be affected by the weather, its the best crop as a safety measure.

Although it may not have much appeal as a crop for cash,

However, life is more important than profit, isnt it?(Kaoru)

Ah, A(V.Captain)

V. Captains complexion was not very good.

Well, Captain Senior is not stupid, he should know about sweet potatoes.

However, in this country, potatoes and corn are food for livestock, the image (in EN) is strong.

But if all goes famine, everyone will eat anything,

They will start cultivating them as usual for human staple food, even the recognition was low.

As a crop for human beings, wheat, and vegetables etc will be the center, and the wheat is the main point that we pay as tax.

Farmers eat rye, oats, barley, etc. which grows relatively small even on land that is slightly rough and water shortage.

However, with this level of civilization, the barley harvesting efficiency was bad.

Its not as bad as the early Middle Age in the Earth, like harvesting 300 kg per hectare, but its not comparable with the modern Earth which harvests 3-4 tons in the same area.

It was good if we could harvest 500 to 600 kg at most.

By the way, in the case of potatoes, the harvest volume per hectare is around 30 tons in the modern Earth.

Well, it cant help when you are told suddenly, of course. But please think about it carefully(Kaoru)

There cant be a lord who suddenly talks, seeks advice from an amateur girl, who knows nothing about the management of the territory or agriculture.

If there is such a lord, Ishouldnt be involved with him as much as possible.

Its likely he will hold me responsible for the failure.

I will not help with the domestic cheat.

For me, the risk is too much and the benefit is too little.

The work for one small gold coin has ended long ago.

Well, I think we are done with this (Kaoru)

Riette-chan didnt have a turn and was bored.

The noblemans mansion seems uncomfortable.

I have to take she out soon.

And its about the time for lunch.

Thinking so, I planned to return

No, Iowe you big time this time, I cant return simply let you return just like this!

I have prepared lunch, please join us by all means(V.Captain)

Yes!(Kaoru + Riette)

I was hooked with Riette-chan.

Yes, an opportunity to accompany the meal of a nobles family, its really rare.

Well, if itsRoland or Francette, I may become the honor guest of the nobles meal time

Thats a bit different.

And for Riette-chan, it cant happen to her even she is born 10 times again.

Its a miracle event like that.

Even though she doesnt understand manners, but if she is a little older, shemight be scared or nervous.

But for the 6-year-old loli, Riette-chanI can eat delicious foods

This was all.

No, Im like that as well, I dont have the right to tell other people anything.

Today I have been taken care of. TheLarslick family, no, on behalf of my citizens as their lord, thank you.(V.Captain)

In the cafeteria, the V.Captain said his gratitude again. In front of us, the dishes arranged in the table.

Riette-chan is seating with me.

His family, the wife of the V.Captain, two daughters about 20 years old, and two sons about 16 years old and 18 years old.

Even though they are only a Viscounts family, they are truly nobles, everyone is beautiful.

Do the men draw blood of their ancestor or something, they allhave gentle eyes.

The sons are going to be astonished men who look like Vice Captain when they get older. I can expect it from them.

But why All-Star cast (in EN)?

The sons clothes. Is that the military uniform?

It may be so, although the two have quite different uniforms

And although we should have a chat while having a meal slowly,

For some reason, they dont have knives and forks,

The brothers with their cheeks blushed looking at me with a feverish eye.

Dont tell me, they have the hots for me?

No, is this also a chance?

In marriage to a small poverty altar family,

We worked on flood control and agricultural reform and rebuilt our finances,

My children would be taken care of by my father and mother in law.

A rich and happy life with rich people

There is nothing to be troubled with life, and I can do whatever I like freely.

It seems that there is not much to worry about human relationships and hierarchical relationships, and the Vice Captains family seems to be nice people who take care of their citizen.

Well, it may be nice.

If I can apply for a relationship

When I thought so, the elder brother talked to me with a blushed face.

Kaoru-san, actually I have a favor to ask(E.Brother)

Kita~!! (It appears / Its here)

No, wait. My brother, I want to ask Kaoru-san too!(Y.Brother)

Uu, wow, here comes the young brother, he suddenly interrupted!

Is this my popular era? Kita~~!! (It appears / Its here)

No, I am the first one who ask her!(E.Brother)

No, its me!(Y.Brother)

And in the end, they cried all together to me.

Please give us medicines for military disease(2 Brothers)

Right, ~?

Yeah, I knew.

I want to hide in a hole (T.N: Sorry I cant understand this joke)

Konchikish-me!)
