Chapter 325
Chapter 325 – North Side Society
My name is Rogabo .
I’m the one who controls the north side of Village Five from the shadow .
Village Five is a town on a small mountain… . yeah, it doesn’t look like a village at all . The north side where the village is is not popular because of poor sunlight .
「Then, it would be good to gather stores that don’t care about the sun . 」
With the instruction from the acting village chief-sama, the night shops were gathered at the north side of Village Five .
Those stores are mainly brothels and casinos .
If there are such establishments, taverns and inns will open near them .
It became lively in no time .
Among men, “going north” is now used as a figure of speech for playing with girls .
My store is also one of the shops that make up the north side .
I run a bar and a brothel .
I run a similar business from a town in the west but my shop was burned because of the war with humans .
After that, I traveled around the country with women who had no choice but to go with me .
Every day is difficult .
I’m really glad when I heard about Village Five and decided to go there .
I never thought that I would be able to open a store again .
I can’t raise my head against acting village head-sama .
It is both literally and figuratively .
She’s a really scary person .
I’ve already met people like village chiefs, town mayors, feudal lords, and even fierce people who work behind the scene which are scary enough to make children cry at a glance .
I know that she’s the type of person you can’t make eye contact with .
I only need to bow and wait for orders .
That’s what my instinct has been whispering to me .
Was my attitude good? Or bad? I was chosen as a member of a group who’ll manage the north side of Village Five .
Aside from me, there are nine others .
“North Side Society”
It is an organization that voluntarily governs the north side of Village Five and not an organization that will give our shop benefits .
Acting village chief-sama did not say anything difficult .
「Supervise that place and make sure it won’t do the village harm . 」
That’s it .
If you are dealing with night business related to alcohol and women, of course, trouble will surely come .
Violent drunkards, fights between customers and women, money problems, etc . are normal occurrences .
Rip-off, frauds, buying and selling suspicious drugs, and in some cases, trades of illegal goods .
In order for those kinds of trouble to not become big, each store and clearly monitor them .
Those malicious stores will be warned .
When they disregard warnings, we are supposed to contact the guards .
So far, a number of stores have already been destroyed .
If you don’t do anything stupid in Village Five, you are sure to profit .
At one point, a proposal was made at the north side society meeting .
We are to decide who’s going to be the representative .
Until now, we are acting as a council .
However, we, members of the north side society, are also business rivals .
There were many times where we couldn’t advance in a meeting because it conflicts with someone’s benefits .
In addition, it is difficult for all ten to be always present .
Therefore, it was proposed to concentrate the power of the north side society on its new leader . The remaining nine will act as watchdogs of the representative .
I thought it was not a bad idea .
To be honest, the work of the north side society is hard .
Not only we had to manage our own businesses but we also must pay attention to the whole north side .
There are a lot of worries too .
I think it will be great if I can be a watchdog… .
Wait, what is the acting village chief-sama’s opinion regarding this matter?

Won’t there be a problem if we decide something like this without permission?
What? She said we are free to manage things here as we want?
Alright . There’s no problem then .
I’m in favor of deciding a representative .
Other members also agree .
After all, it’s hard .
The representative will be decided by lottery .
There is no injustice in lottery .
We examined it over and over again .
Why me… . .
I can’t help but hold my hand .
The other members around tapped me on my shoulders .
Can’t you take my place?
They escaped .
For the time being, the term of office is only one year because it is only a trial .
Since it has come to this, I’ll end my term without trouble .
Currently, the north side society employs about 50 people .
Their purpose is to solve trouble and gather information .
Only 50 .
Though they are recommended by each member… . . they are mainly children and retired married women .
They are not suitable for solving problems or collecting information related to night business .
Though they give their best, they are not strong enough .
Physically, I mean .
Why don’t men come to our recruitments?
No, it’s not like we’re publicly recruiting… .

Given the current situation, even I have to look around when I’m free .
I gave out a big sigh .
I have no choice but to scout myself .
Look, there’s a good guy there .
A man in his twenties .
While many shops are closed during the day, he is wandering around .
Is this his first time coming here?
It is not unusual .
Travelers and new residents come once they hear the rumors about the north side .
Umu .
In other words, his face is not known around here yet .
To discover such a man, I want to scout him as my subordinate .
Scouting is easy .
Let’s invite him to my store and have a conversation with him .
I will not threaten him .
We’ll just talk while he’s receiving this service .
Maa, I’ll arrange my shop’s number one and number two for him .
Fufufu .
I won’t miss .
The man I scouted was the village chief .
Though he looks like the second son of your friendly neighborhood farmer, he’s Village Five’s village chief .
Even acting village chief-sama can only bow before the village chief .
… . . I’m finished .
That’s what I thought but words of praise came out from the village chief’s mouth .
「I will continue to ask you to keep Village Five safe . 」
Ooohhhh .

How generous .
Thank you very much .
However, village chief .
Why are you alone in a place like that?
No, which kind of woman do you prefer? I’ll bring her to you immediately .
I had my girls sit to his left and right immediately .
You’ll decline?
I look at the village chief .
He is smiling but… . his eyes have a firm intent of rejection .
Well, this is impossible .
It’s disappointing but let’s give up .
An extra ambition will burn the favor .
It’s enough to hear his words .
I couldn’t leave the acting village chief’s mansion… . .
I’m surrounded by several women .
Eh?
What’s this?
They’re not seducing me .
I can even feel bloodlust .
「You brought village chief into that store?」
「Hohou . So, what kind of girl did village chief show his interest to? 」
「Talk in detail . 」
……
My name is Rogabo .
I’m the one who controls the north side of Village Five from the shadow .
My term is one year but I hope it ends as soon as possible .
Or wait for a watchdog to resign… .
