Chapter 314: Shan-san’s Unexpected Talent. The Estimate of Food Production Becomes a Little Visualized

"Welcome back Masaharu!"

"Onii-chan, welcome back!"

As usual Shepa and Petit Letree ran over.

"Shepa. Petit Letree. I’m home. Yoshi yoshi. Yooshi yoshi."

I stroked the backs and asses of the two who hugged me.

Letree-san walked over later than the two.

"Welcome home. Goshujin-sama."

"I’m home. Letree-san. While we were gone was there nothing?"

"Yes. It was as usual. ...Um. What happened to Iria-sama?"

Letree-san tilted her head.

In the direction of that gaze Iria with her head hung dejectedly walked alone toward the pond.

"I do not think she will jump in but just in case I will watch."

Because it is not an atmosphere where you can call out Esty-san followed a slightly opened distance behind.

Waa, Petit Letree and Shepa ran toward Iria. They will surely encourage her. For now I will leave it to the innocent girls.

"You two. Make sure not to cause trouble."

"Haii."

"Masaharu-sama. Was the tournament that harsh?"

"Eeto... It is not that but more like the same state as Letree-san a little while ago..."

Letree-san once had her confidence lost when the dog girls learned she pee-marked around the church in Monvan and sprayed my pee from her anus. She regained confidence by leading the pack in hunts and winning the ass-sumo Ketsu Duel tournament.

"Esty-san and Elf-san only saw her anus shown huge on the arena’s giant monitor so I think she will recover soon. If she stays down forever please follow up for her."

"That does not feel like something that can end with ’only’... I will talk with Iria-sama later."

"Thank you."

"Before dinner there is something I would like you to look at, is that alright?"

"It is fine."

Something she wants to show. I wonder what.

Will she go to a dark place, take off her panties, and show me a plug she left inserted in her anus all day.

"Then please come this way."

I followed Letree-san. Because Fullru stuck tightly to my back I took her along too.

That the pond got wider and a small island was made inside it and that the bus carriages increased to four and became like a four-car train, well there is no need to be surprised.

Lucia was here and there was also time for Kaka-Pipi to come this way so someone did something.

On the north side of the bus carriages, probably a position so direct sunlight does not hit, there is a workbench and Shan-san the dog man is there.

Shan-san bowed his head pekori.

"Masaharu-sama. Welcome home. Please look at this."

"Ah! Amazing!"

On the workbench wooden boards are lined up and letters are written on them with black charcoal.

Because I learned letters from Rafilia-san at Glans I can read them roughly even if not perfectly.

"This is our total number by race."

"You summarized it. Thank you."

The first board is numbers by race.

Dragon God: 1

Human (male): 1

Human (female): 6

Horse girls: 10

Cow girls: 9

Dog man: 1

Dog girls: 8

Sheep girls: 5

Goat girls: 2

Fox girl: 1

Cat girls: 3

Elf: 1

Bird girls: 5

Capybara girls: 12

Nutria girls: 8

Beaver girls: 7

Rabbit girls: 2

Fairies: 43

Capybara dolls: 2

Capybaras: 6

Total: 133

Sugge. Total 133 people.

Is that not about one school year of a small girls’ school.

Human (female) becoming 6 is because Iria is counted and mecha girl Dura-san was also counted as human I suppose.

Nn?

Wait, but the calculation does not match.

"Female humans became 6 but is it not Rafilia-san, Dura-san, Iria, Rui, Mirai-chan for 5?"

"Fula-san is human."

"Ah, is that so. I thought she was a giant-type race."

Letree-san answered this question.

"When we confirmed with the person herself and Lucia-sama apparently she has gotten large because she cannot control a giantification skill."

"Then we can ask Lucia to return her to original size."

"Rui-san proposed that but in the end after discussion including Fula-san and Lucia-san it stayed as is. Apparently it is possible to erase the skill and become small but then the skill would become unusable so for now even if a little inconvenient it is better to practice until she can master it."

"So that is it."

If you could change breast size you might be able to solve the endless war of huge breasts versus flat chests...

I like all breasts but there are periods I like huge breasts that do not fit in my hands and periods I like cutting boards so flat you cannot even tell there is a swell. Periodic civil war occurs inside me...

Now back to checking the list.

Quietly nutria girls and beaver girls have increased again.

No, that is fine.

But in the first place these children are only living together on a vague mood. Is it okay to take them from their homelands back to Glans Kingdom.

They were not slaves. Lucia found them living wild and invited them.

Well, fine. Their bodies have probably already become unable to live without the vegetables Rafilia-san gives.

Probably when we go home if I say "Everyone get on the bus carriage—" they will get on normally and we will take them back as is.

The newly joined beast girls are centered on cow girls, sheep girls, horse girls, and bird girls, all children who look useful in daily life. Because they were made to work as slaves it becomes that.

In Glans Kingdom they will also work so I have to work hard too so living standards can be raised and they do not think nothing changed from slave times.

When I finished checking the list at exactly good timing Shan-san swapped in another board.

"This is the amount of our meals needed in one week. Assuming we have Rafilia-san rest Saturday and Sunday and considering supply amounts of cow girls’ milk and bird girls’ eggs and so on what is still insufficient is this."

On the wooden board a catalog of bread and vegetables and such and the needed amounts were written.

"O, ooh... Amazing. Easy to understand."

Until now we procured food vaguely but it is quantified considering the increase in numbers.

"These numbers are the case of relying on Rafilia-san only for breakfast and lunch and self-sufficient for dinner."

"Suggee... Shan-san, why can you do something like this."

"I managed the basement at Grand Duke Jerin’s mansion. The basement is a place where slave servants like us work so we do not enter the household’s eyes and there are also warehouses storing wine and food. Inventory management of those foods and grasping the amount of cow girls’ milk and the amount of wool that can be sheared from sheep girls was also my job."

"Ah. I see. If you were in a servant-manager position at one of the Four Great Noble mansions you can do this kind of thing too. No, this list is amazing."

"Thank you. If I could be of even a little use that is best."

"It is not a little. Our future that was hit-or-miss is visualized. Seriously amazing. May I keep asking you to manage food from now on?"

"Leave it to me."

"May I pack food production a little more?"

"Of course."

I lightly ponpon patted the ass of Fullru stuck to my back.

"Elf-san. Tell me. If you work hard in a range that is not overdoing it how much can you expand forest and fields at Glans?"

"Ee. I do not know... But what I and the fairies can do is only promote growth so in the end it will change from other factors."

"I see..."

Prediction is difficult.

Even if it becomes excess it is better to make a lot of vegetables.

After eating dinner we tried talking including Rafilia-san and Esty-san but even repeating harvest seeds, sow, harvest again... yearly production amount does not increase 10 times, 100 times, 1000 times and even if bumper crops continue at most it is double apparently.

So that is how it is.

Production amounts of grains like wheat and barley are closely related to population increase.

By agricultural technology developing and food increasing, especially by increase of calorie intake from wheat, population increases. Population increase is impossible without increase of food production amount.

We conversely have short-term population increase as a given and have to increase food production chasing after so it is tough. Especially the first year when crops cannot yet be harvested will be tough.

Recently obtained fruit seeds are not guaranteed to grow in northern land.

Let us expect sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes do not particularly choose land and are easy to grow. Even in my family’s home garden they fruited more than we could eat every year so they should increase tremendously.

It is winter now so if we sow fruit and vegetable seeds in spring and harvest in autumn self-sufficiency of food starts next year.

Quite strict... I thought but with Esty-san’s opinion it looks like it can work out.

"Nn. If we put all the current ransom into food expenses we can eat while occasionally luxuriating for two or three years."

"Ah. Then by then we identify vegetables and fruits that grow at Glans and produce them."

"Yes. That said from tomorrow on we will free slave beastmen right? So we also need to receive ransom moderately. If it is all paid in beastmen it will be a little troubling."

"I see. I want to prioritize freeing slaves but I also want money to buy food... Frustrating..."

"Masaharu-san. I will work hard so let us free the beastmen."

"Rafilia-san..."

Ah, she really is a splendid person fitting a saint.

In the worst case I will let myself rely on Rafilia-san’s words.

In the first place how many slave beastmen are there?

Suddenly freeing all slaves in the whole world is difficult so first the royal capital Royburg.

It is about a medieval large city so population around 100,000 right?

Let us say rich people who can hire servants or slaves are 1 in 100.

Then slave beastmen are 1,000.

Ah. Unexpectedly it looks like it can work out.

First free all the slaves in the royal capital, take them to Glans Kingdom and have them arrange the food self-sufficiency system, while I raid local tournaments.

Besides the Christmas Tournament small-scale tournaments are held frequently apparently so I will go around and make a killing to a degree that I do not get banned.
