“Yeah, it has.”

“Although not long enough to make the insane growth of your village be considered normal.
I’ve lost count of how many times I was surprised since I got here.”

Dant-san excitedly talked about the changes in the village that he noticed.
Among them were the growth of our commerce, the migration of the elves and dwarves, as well as the existence of the dungeon.

“And most importantly, these weapons! They’re of this quality, yet they’re so cheap! I knew I had to have it, even if it meant having to borrow some money from Dant-sama!”

Bazara-san spoke with even more excitement than Dant-san.

Oh, so he did buy it in the village. 

The swords here were definitely cheap, but maybe not pocket-money-cheap.

“Luke-sama, I actually have something important I have to report to you…”

Dant-san was smiling wryly when Bazara-san told me about the sword, but in a complete reversal, he was serious now.

“The Albert house has won against the Schneger house.”

Huh? …so soon?

“But didn’t the fighting began only a short while ago?”

“Yes.
The fighting started and concluded in the span of about a month.
The Albert forces captured the Schneger territory’s major cities one after another, and in no time at all, they marched toward its capital.
There, the biggest fight of the war happened, but the Albert side overpowered the other side this time as well.
Right when the castle was about to be captured, the Schneger house declared their surrender.”

A war starting and ending within a month was exceptionally fast.

Now that the Albert house has absorbed the assets of the Schneger house, they now held a power that was comparable to a kingdom.

“Despite this being Raul-sama’s first campaign, he played a large role in its success.
To reward him for this, he was made in charge of the now-former Albert territory.”

Father would probably focus on managing the still unstable area that, until recently, used to be known as the Schneger territory.
As for what used to be the Albert Territory, there should be no major problems even if an inexperienced Raul was to manage it.

“In his new position, it’s probably only a matter of time for Raul-sama to know of this village.
This might be impertinent of me, but I still want to advise you to come up with countermeasures for when he eventually does find out.”
