Chapter 388
The kittens are angry and the dragon form Hiichirou .
It’s an unusual sight .
However, it can’t be helped .
Hiichirou transformed into a dragon inside the mansion and destroyed a part of the building .
Though the mansion is huge, the place where he transformed is not .
It was the vacant room that the kittens often used to take naps .
They don’t use it much during winter but that’s still their favourite place .
The kittens are saying meow meow to Hiichirou to complain .
Forgive him already .
I’ll make a new box for you as a replacement for that broken room .
Ah, I’ll put a blanket in the middle of it .
Of course, you’ll have one box each .
Will this fix their mood?
Good .
Hiichirou, will you transform back to human form now?
Or else we can’t repair it .
Good good .
Hnn… . when Hiichirou transformed back to human, it felt cold .
It’s because of that hole in the wall .
The kittens are no longer here .
Let’s repair it fast .
As for Hiichirou… . . Hakuren came to pick him up so I’ll leave him to her .
By the way, why did Hiichirou suddenly transform into a dragon?
Instead of answering, Hiichirou made a big sneeze .
And transforms into a dragon again .
Ah, I got it .
This time, it was good that he transformed in the middle of the mansion .
He caused no damage .
「Hakuren, are you okay?」
「Ara? Are you worried about me?」
Hakuren was holding Hiichirou in his dragon form .
「Of course, I’m worried . I’m glad you’re okay . So, what’s happening to Hiichirou?」
He’s still unstable but there won’t be a problem once he grows up .
I see .
The problem is he’s sneezing .
Does he have a cold?
Or some allergy… . what’s the cause?
This dirty sheet .
What is this?
The sheet the Hiichirou treasures .
I see .
It is good that you treasure something but that needs to be washed… . . you don’t want it to be washed .
This part of the sheet is your favourite and if it is washed, it will feel different… . . I see .
Raimeiren and Ann take that sheet to wash it from time to time so Hiichirou came to that vacant room to hide that sheet .
I see .
Maa, I understand that you cherish something but the problem is, it is now so dirty that it caused you to sneeze .
Wash it .
My heart aches upon seeing Hiichirou’s despair .
I’ll leave the rest to you, Hakuren .
By the way, it seems like the oni maids are aware of Hiichirou’s behavior and planned to get the hidden sheet and wash it later .
I will be glad if he didn’t bear any grudge against me .
Hnn?
Ursa’s comforting Hiichirou .
Oh, they look like a pair of good brother and sister .
And Alfred is enviously looking at Hiichirou who’s being comforted by Ursa .
Yeah .
My son has grown up before I knew it .
The room was repaired by the high elves so it only took half a day .
Yeah, thanks for your hard work .
I did my best too .
Making lunch and dinner for the high elves .
After dinner .
I went to the workshop and made boxes for the kittens .
Making a box is not so difficult .
The difficult thing is considering the size .
This is a little too small, isn’t it? Well, the kittens are divided into the right size box and spacious box factions .
It will be best to listen to their opinions but the kittens won’t be unified .
Let’s just make a lot of boxes and let them choose what they want .
Maa, cats are capricious so I guess they will only choose after a few days .
Until then, I’ll leave the boxes to them .
Raigiel and Jewel, you can come in .
What kind of box does Raigiel want?
For Jewel… . you want a box with Raigiel in it .
They are on good terms .
I feel a little lonely since Loo’s not here .
When I was thinking of that, Loo came home .
After a short sense of happiness, I started making things again with the free high elves and mountain elves .
Are we going to make a big building?
But I’m a little lonely .
I hugged Kuro who’s nearby .

Noon of the next day .
I’m having a meeting with the civil servant girls and Youko about the issue of too much accumulated gold in Village Five .
The civil servant girls and Youko brought out some goods on the table .
Firewood, charcoals, glass bottles .
Currently, Big Tree Village is buying them in large quantities via Village Five .
Necessities, as well as reserves, are taken to Big Tree Village to meet its demand . As for the rest, they are left for Village Five to deal with . However, they said that these goods will soon overflow the village like what happened to gold .
The civil servant girls brought out another batch of goods on the table .
Pepper, Miso, soy sauce, oil, cloth, alcohol, honey, medicine, meat, wheat, garlic, apple, orange, tea, cabbage, radish, strawberry, wood crafts, iron crafts, iron weapons, wood, dried persimmon .
They are goods sold by Big Tree Village, Village One, Village Two, Village Three, and Village Four to the outside world .
The cloth was made by Zabuton’s group .
The medicine were research results of Loo, Tier, and Flora so those are allowed to be exported .
The meat is rabbit and boar meats hunted in the forest .
Wood crafts are my handmade small things .
Cups, plates, forks, etc .
Iron crafts are iron weapons are made by Gutt and his disciples .
The wood is… . wood from the tree from the forest of death that I cut using the AFT .
「Those were arranged by transaction value . The highest source of profits are pepper, miso, and soy sauce . 」
I see .
I was wondering why there’s no mayonnaise . They probably excluded it since it is being produced in Village Five .
However, did we really trade that much dried persimmon?
Most of them are eaten by Rasuti so I don’t feel like selling them outside .
「Those goods were lined up in order of profit value with the dried persimmon as the lowest profiteer . 」
I see .
Got it .
「The purpose of arranging them like that is to make village chief aware of the current situation . 」

Now that you mention it, it seems to be easier to understand now but what is it that I’m unaware… .
「Currently, we can pay for the firewood, charcoal, and glass bottles purchased from outside with the profit from dried persimmon alone . 」
… . . eh?
「In other words, all others are not transactions but profits only . 」
… . . eh?
「Yes, we are investing money in Village Five but the profit from radish can sponsor the whole thing alone . 」
Is that so?
「The problem is not the profit but too much accumulated cash . Cash that’s not flowing in the circulation . 」
Michael-san told me that before too .
Youko is also nodding .
This is no longer a storage issue but an economic problem .
「Please spend money . 」
「I-I know . 」
For the time being, increase the amount of firewood, charcoal, and glass bottle purchase… .
「Unfortunately, we already hit the maximum purchase of firewood, charcoal, and glass bottle . 」
「Eh?」
「The amount of firewood, charcoal, and glass bottles that can be purchased in a year is determined by the union . This is not only to protect the craftsmen but also to prevent economic damage due to material depletion . 」
Especially firewood and charcoal . I heard that it is impossible to purchase beyond the limit because they are used as military supplies too .
Is that so?
Then, for the time being, let’s stop selling the village’s crops to the outside world… .
「Do you plan on plunging the whole demon king’s kingdom into chaos?」
Eh?
They got angry with all their might .
Youko also said that I’m terrible .
I’m sorry .
Well, I’ll think about it .
I finally recognized my lack of awareness of the current situation .
