Episode 62
‘Oh, this looks quite useful?’
But his admiration didn’t last long.
“You bastard, why is your expression like that? Are you mocking me?!
The nobleman who had thrown the wood strode toward the boy nearby, looking for someone to vent his anger on.
The boy was so frightened he couldn’t say anything and just kept his head down.
“How dare this lowly livestock mock a nobleman?!”
The nobleman raised his hand high.
Thwack-!
A dull impact sound rang out. But it wasn’t the boy who fell. A crowbar that flew through the air struck the nobleman squarely in the back.
“Aaaahhh-!”
“Ah, I was aiming for the head. What a shame.”
Nana clicked her tongue as she walked out from the forest shade. The nobleman, startled, turned around and began fuming again.
“Who are you?! This is land owned by the Royal Family! How did you get in?!”
“How did I get in, you ask? I came in because I’m the landowner.”
A moment of silence passed.
Then one of the noblemen snorted.
“Landowner? You own this place?”
“Ha, I’m really seeing all kinds of crazy things today. A mad beast and now a mad woman.”
“Listen, this is land owned by the Royal Family as I said earlier. Get your head straight.”
“You still don’t seem to grasp the situation. Isha, Lord Warren.”
At her call, Ishanka and Lucas stepped forward. The overwhelming killing intent and intimidation made the noblemen’s laughter stop abruptly.
“Troublemakers who trespass on others’ land and cause havoc deserve appropriate treatment, don’t they?”
Nana’s eyes gleamed coldly.
“Please give them some physical therapy until they come to their senses.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lucas was the first to charge out.
Indeed, in this complicated world, there’s no correction method as certain as simple violence. Right?
A short while later. The peaceful golf course echoed only with the noblemen’s desperate screams and the beautiful sounds of something heavy going thump, bang, thwack.
* * *
After the brief commotion subsided, the group headed to the clubhouse.
Nana told the children to rest in the lounge for a while and walked to the field with the others.
Natural grass completely different from the artificial fields of the modern world, hills that weren’t artificially sculpted but had been there from the beginning.
Ponds and streams flowed naturally through curves created by wind and rain instead of human hands.
Large trees cast shadows around the teeing ground, and even the bunkers were arranged following the natural terrain’s contours.
A landscape that was almost untouched nature.
Because it wasn’t artificially created but truly nature itself, it felt even more luxurious.
While the proletarian flame within Lucas burned fiercely at that useless and pretentious scenery.
“This place is flat and close to water, so it’s good. Alright, let’s go with here.”
Nana looked around and nodded with satisfaction.
“What’s good about it?”
Lucas asked with a suspicious expression.
“I’m thinking of farming here.”
“Farming… you? Here?”
Lucas’s head instantly filled with question marks. It was the most absurd thing he’d heard in his entire life.
To farm on a golf course, the crystallization of upper-class arrogance and waste, made solely for entertainment.
It sounded as ridiculous as tilling a field in the middle of a gold mine.
“My lord, do you know why I made this place my land?”
“Wasn’t it to bring down the hammer of justice on the nobles who ignored the people’s suffering and awaken their minds corrupted by luxury?”
…It wasn’t for such a righteous reason that she declared this place farmland.
Nana swallowed her true thoughts while looking at Lucas burning with passion. Well, there’s no need to deny a favorable misunderstanding.
“Of course, that reason isn’t entirely absent, but the biggest reason is that this is perfect land for farming.”
Think about it carefully.
Wide, flat land, water flowing nearby, perfect drainage thanks to natural slopes, and land that gets plenty of sunlight.
It was absolutely perfect land for farming.
But there was a problem. It was the labor shortage.
She could have used zombie slaves… no, serfs to plow the fields like before, but it wasn’t a method she could use in front of Lucas who didn’t know the situation.
‘It would be perfect if I could capture all those nobles who only eat and shit and make them plow fields.’
But Worker Employment had a fatal flaw.
【Worker Employment requires the other party’s consent to be established.】
Mutual agreement.
The nobles who had never treated commoners as people and only looked after their own interests would never agree to Worker Employment.
There must be loopholes in skill usage too.
As she was thoroughly scanning the system window with burning eyes, her gaze stopped at the description of Great Landowner.
【Great Landowner’s Privilege】
Oh? Look at this?
A villain’s… no, a true farmowner’s smile appeared on Nana’s face.
* * *
The big-nosed nobleman believed he was quite lucky.
Although he was a viscount, he was genius at flattery, and thanks to that, he received the chancellor’s favor. Because of this, even after the Day of Disaster, he could enjoy a comfortable life in the Royal Palace as before.
So he was convinced.
That he was a chosen person.
At least until a few days ago.
“Nnnngh, oh my back…”
Now he was drenched in sweat, plowing the land with a plow to turn the fairway into farmland.
The heaviest thing he’d ever held in his life was a wine glass, and now he was doing this kind of work covered in dirt.
This is all because of that strange woman!
She suddenly appeared from somewhere, spouted crazy nonsense about this place becoming her land, then dared to beat up nobles and even force them into hard labor, that lowly thing who doesn’t know her place!
Could there be any greater humiliation in the world!
He was just playing golf with dignity, elegance, and peace!
The more he thought about it, the more his anger exploded.
Of course, it wasn’t that he hadn’t thought of escaping. A few days ago, he tried to sneak away when he saw an opportunity.
But strangely, whenever he tried to cross the boundary of the Royal Imperial Ground, his body wouldn’t budge.
When he tried to take a step, his legs would stiffen as if frozen, and when he tried to run, his feet would be stuck to the ground like stones, unable to move at all.
It was a bizarre phenomenon whose cause he couldn’t understand at all.
“That wicked woman must have cast black magic or something. Otherwise, there’s no way a noble body like mine couldn’t escape.”
‘So I need to escape somehow and report that evil witch to His Excellency the Chancellor! Yes, I’ll expose her myself! As a vicious remnant who turned nobles into slaves with black magic!’
The big-nosed nobleman was scheming how to frame Nana as a black magician with a cunning smile when.
“You seem quite comfortable these days?”
The big-nosed nobleman was startled by Lucas’s voice from behind.
“No, no, I was just trying to rest for a moment. Haha…”
“Well, that’s understandable. A noble gentleman who has never used farm tools in his entire life wouldn’t have experience with such lowly labor.”
He was openly mocking, but the nobleman didn’t notice and instead brightened up, raising his head.
“That’s right! You understand me! You’re different from those vulgar commoners!”
He looked around and then slyly lowered his voice.
“Let me make you a proposal. Secretly get me out of here and take me to the royal palace. Then I’ll personally speak to His Excellency the Prime Minister to give you a generous reward.”
“Oh, a reward. That’s quite a tempting proposal…”
A smile spread across the snub-nosed nobleman’s lips.
‘Good, it worked! Now I can use this guy to—’
“…is what you thought I’d say, you pig bastard!”
Thwack!
Lucas’s fist struck the nobleman’s jaw squarely. He screamed and rolled around on the ground.
“Someone like you who’s full of greed and doesn’t know noblesse oblige has no reason to be called a nobleman!”
The snub-nosed nobleman had picked the wrong opponent, and picked very wrong indeed.
* * *
At the exact moment the snub-nosed nobleman was getting thoroughly beaten by Lucas, Nana and Ishanka were returning to Damian’s house.
It was their return after 3 days.
Having been away for so long, Nana felt slightly sorry thinking about how much Brody and Wina must have worried.
‘I hope nothing happened.’
Just as she was about to reach the door.
“Kyaaaah!”
A high-pitched scream came from inside. Nana didn’t hesitate and rushed in.
And—
“Kahahaha!”
“Try to catch me—!”
What hit her ears wasn’t screaming but children’s laughter. An unbelievable scene was unfolding in the middle of the living room.
Brody was lifting up a child and spinning them around in the air while laughing heartily, and Wina was handing out sticks like toy swords, having fake duels with the children.
“Ugh! Sister Wina cheated again!”
“How is this cheating? It’s real combat sense!”
Nana stood frozen in place, stunned.
“…What is this situation?”
Nana stood there with her mouth hanging open.
And then a question suddenly occurred to her.
Where on earth did these children come from?
Actually, the beginning of this story goes back to right after Nana’s group headed to the Royal Imperial Ground.
That day, Brody and Wina were doing some simple tidying up at Damian’s house.
While dusting off their bags.
“Hm?”
Wina sensed a presence.
It felt like someone was secretly peeking at them through a crack in the door.
When she turned her head, they would hide with a swoosh.
Wina stealthily moved her steps in that direction.
Around the corner of the room entrance.
There, four little girls were crouched down, holding their breath.
“W-wow. We got caught!”
“How did she find us?”
“Big brother Damian told us to hide…!”
The children suddenly started chattering all at once.
“Who are you guys?”
“Um… that’s a secret! We’re playing hide-and-seek so we can’t reveal our identities.”
“Big brother said so. Never go outside and hide if anyone comes.”
“Who made that rule?”
“Big brother Damian.”
“But I caught you guys, didn’t I?”
“Oh, that’s right?!”
“Then… now it’s my turn to hide!”
With those words, Wina giggled and ran toward the corridor.
The children were bewildered.
“Kyaaaah!”
“Wait—!”
Soon after, clear laughter filled the cave.
“That’s how it happened.”
Brody finished while stroking his mustache. Nana looked back and forth between Brody and the children with an incredulous expression.
“To be precise, Wina started it all. I didn’t do anything.”
Brody raised both hands to claim innocence.
“But mister, who is this lady?”
The child sitting on his knee tugged at Brody’s beard.
“Her hair color is like an apricot!”
“She’s an apricot fairy! I’m right, aren’t I?”
The children had somehow gathered in front of Nana.
“A fairy… I’m just an ordinary person though.”
But the children didn’t care.
“Do apricot fairies only eat apricots?”
“Can’t you show us your wings?”
“No, what is this…”
“You’re quite welcome, fairy-nim.”
Rather than stopping them, Ishanka smiled silently and played along.
“Isha, even you…!”
They say there’s no one to trust in this world. That saying is exactly right.
“Apricot fairy…”
Brody smiled and stroked his chin.
“Then kids, what kind of fairy am I?”
“Mister is a beard fairy!”
“No! Fairies don’t age, so mister isn’t a fairy!”
“Oh, that’s right? Then mister is just beard mister!”
Brody had brought it up for nothing and didn’t even break even.
