Chapter 33 - Half Year Later

――Half of a year passed by.

Various plans advanced considerably smooth within this half year period.

So much that the house in the prairie undergo expansion with addition to the building; it became a scale that you're able to tell that it's a pretty good mansion.

I also built an exclusive shed (brickwork) next to the house (mansion) for the half-beast Wolf who seems weak toward opposite gender.

It's a house in isolated location that's been maintained to an adequate extent.
(Wolf was very glad about being given a house by me for personal use of himself.)

Also, the earth wall around the house became tripled.

From the start, the house is the center of the 50 meters radius of the wall, there's even a wooden door attached pn the 3 meters tall mud wall which can be used as entrance.

Furthermore, by borrowing the power of the earth spirit king (Behemoth), I made a huge wall (second barrier) with a circumference of at least 100 meters in radius.

The height is 10 meters; its thickness is over 1 meter; it's an earth wall.
I installed door in that one too.

And then, I made up to the third barrier last month.

The radius is nearly 300 meters, 2 kilometers in circumference; the height is 20 meters, and I made the great rampart thickness exceeding 3 meters.

I couldn't finish it at once, but had to divide it by several times and complete it.
Although I managed to completed it, I was really worn out in the end.

But, I think it's better to build it.

It is the knowledge according to Yuushia continental history (all five volume) that I bought half a year ago.

The slaves looked up to the third wall (The Great Wall) and were dumbfounded by the overwhelming height and its grandeur too.

Incidentally, I dug 『trenches』 around the third wall (The Great Wall)

It is an interior moat with an outside digging.

The inner moat/canal is a water moat that draw water from the large river flowing in the prairie.

Yesterday, the slaves wore the swimsuits that I bought and had fun swimming in the water canal.

Even if wild animals and demons attack by large waves, the unyielding great wall that I completed will not move an inch.

It's probably almost secured unless giants in great numbers attack.

………………。
Though when I reveal of the giant name, I hope that it won't become a flag for the flocks of giant who live in the great forest to attack …… I definitely wishing for it.

The story changes and I become 11 years old by tomorrow birthday.

Such things as imperial national event, the fortunes of upper nobles and upper wealthy merchant seems to be different.[i]
Commoners and low-class nobles like Hawkwood family only have plain words as congratulation.

Which reminds me of my previous life, there is never a time when I am available for the like of birthday party where they invite friends.

It's justified if I said it's natural.

To a certain extent, even my family completely ignores my birthday after a certain age.

No, to be exact, I still receiving a congratulation from my indian hill myna[Gracula Religiosa].
A clever hill mynah, Q-chan, I trained it to memorize a birthday song――okay let's stop the story right there.

Apart from that, let's explain the present conditions after half a year pass by.

「In the present, the unicorn farm have―― over 200 mare that's pregnant with the child of the unicorns.」
「Oh, Yes, they keep becoming pregnant. Ash-sama's 『remedy』 is effective in getting the unicorn-tan to copulate with non-virgin partner and keep on impregnating them. 」

I heard my own monologue and the wind spirit, Syl who remained on my shoulder, said something during a break in conversation.
Furthermore,

「After 10 years, the unicorns will become as much as 5,000 if I increase it at this pace. Awesome. 」

「Ho-eh?」

I, who sat down in the third courtyard surrounded by the second wall and third wall, corrected Syl's blunder.

「They won't increase only 500 unicorn by a year, but several years. After the baby (borned) unicorn becomes an adult, the number of mare that become pregnant in one year are increasing that much if they increase potential. 」

「They are expected surpass 10,000 unicorns by far after 10 years according to my calculation. If it goes smoothly nevertheless」
「Ho-eeeeeeeeeeeeeh!!!! Super-Awesome! It's the creation of U-Unicorn Kingdom!!!」

Syl jumped up and became astonished.

「They may exceed 100,000 after 20 years later. 」
「Ho-eeeeeeeeeeeeeh!!!??? The creation of the Great U-U-Unicorn Empire!!!!!!!」

It must be remembered that it's only a conversation of calculations.

That's because the True Dragon King, Zogdrias awakened from it's slumber――at the True Flame Mountain that's barely visible beyond south of here where it slumbers.

…………。
The relocation probably requires considerable amount of effort to do, and I want to bring down the True Dragon King if I could bring it down.

「The unicorn still died of old age by 1-2 bodies a month at the present.」

Ash-sama」

「Ah, but if the number of unicorns increases that much――」

「We keep obtaining Horns Na-no!!!」

「On-One Hundred horns!」

「U-HyaaaAAaAAAaaa!!! We will keep getting unicorn horns so much that it's (like) giving away such a thing!!!」

No, I will not throw them away even to the extent it become softened by maturity.

Taking in consideration of a considerable price collapse by the large provision increase, it might become higher than 10,000 large gold coins a month.

In terms of Japanese yen, that's about 120 billion yen.

…………That's an astronomical amount of money.

No, you might say we will obtain more than 1,000 unicorn horns per month after 20 years. After all, it's only according to my discussed calculations.

nevertheless, That plans still smoothly advanced.

Even after 10 years stage, I expect the income in a year to be as much as 20,000-30,000 large gold coins.

Only if my plans smoothly advanced though.

At the present time, the area of cockatrice farm （cockatrice development field）will raise more profit than the unicorn ranch.

「In the same cockatrice farm where I collected around 30 cockatrice feathers and close to 30 cockatrice eggs every day.」

「because the black merchant, Greed recognized the egg's size and quality is the highest class that one egg worth 4 gold coins. That's 120 gold coins with 30 eggs, in other word, 12 large gold coins. 」
「Because there are ten cockatrice farm now……umm, umm」

The wind spirit, Syl began to count with her fingers.
Well, it's just an extremely simple calculation by multiplying it by ten.

「It's 120 large gold coins.」

「My bad」

「…………」
「uhhhh……*counting*……………e-eeto」

Syl head already released a steam.[ii]
I think she's about to short-circuit.

「In one year――」

「…………」
「eh-to, eh-to…………..*calculation overhaul*…………….uuuuuuuunnnnn, *batan!* *kyuu*」

*Bataa (sound effect for falling over)* The wind spirit collapse above my shoulder.

「Is it ok if I answer?」

「In a year, it's 43,800 large gold coins.」
「Ash-kun's mental arithmetic ability is too dreadful!!!」

Before, I was able to memorize the arithmetic answer with calculation and write it on paper.

「……The current phase in cockatrice farm (cockatrice development field) is the best source of income. 」

「That's right. Likewise, the income by the cockatrice farms will reverse in the future. 」

Because I supply a considerable amount steadily everyday, the cockatrice's egg is becoming oversupply.

The value will probably collapse soon too.
The cockatrice farm revenue will be completely dampened if it were to happen.

…………Should I include sales to other countries into the field of vision?

At least I made enough money in cockatrice farm only in this half year.

In terms of Japanese Yen, that's more than 100,000,000 yen. [PF : That's around 1000K $ dammit]

And the price of the 『Magic Castle』is as much as 10,000 large gold coins.

-As a birthday present to myself.

Furthermore, I will declare the founding of this 『kingdom』――and try to dominate this prairie and its outskirts tomorrow.

………… If it's just a declaration, then I'm free to do it.

After all,
You're not a man if you're not aiming to become a king, right.

Although I might say it's a declaration of a founding nation, it doesn't mean the nation will get acknowledgement and foreign-like approval from other countries in particular.
I don't think we will get acknowledgement, it's unthinkable to acquire it to begin with.[iv]

Although one might say it's a declaration of a founding nation, naturally, I can say with confidence that I only declare on my own accord.

It's something like enjoying myself. (TL: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) )

At the least, I can say it's a game of make-believe king.

In my memory of my past existence, the king game[v] is said to be the standards of drinking party………………I have never done it even once. [PF :Stop it, please stop opening my old wound]

By the way, I'm thinking of making the 『yuushia rubber tree』[vi], a kind of 『rubber tree』 as the national flower.

There are plenty of them growing in the considerably spacious forest (naming, rubber forest) at southern part from the prairie; they are not as vast as the vast forest.

I heard the "milky liquid" that comes out/seeps out of the gash on the trunk will become the raw material of rubber, so every kind of rubber development of manufactured goods and production that was emphasized on will be interesting from now on.

At any rate, the "milky liquid" that seep out from the India rubber tree seems to be an inferior item in terms of raw material of rubber, but the "milky liquid" of 『Yuushia rubber tree』 seems to be far superior to that.

According to the Yuushia continental natural history (all five volumes).

The discovery and naming of rubber forest by me might be the biggest continental 『Yuushia rubber tree』 forest.

「Ash-kun, Ash-kun.」

「Not only the unicorn ranch and cockatrice farm, but the slave farm is doing well too, right? Nano!」

「But, I, I think.

But I recommend that you might as well have some on your possession as it is without selling them off anyway.」

「And then you can gather the top most combatant to form a strongest slave soldier army!」

「WORLD DOMINATION!!!!」[vii]

「……EH？」
I was shocked by the wind spirit who tossing her fist toward the sky.

「It's a man's dream-nano! It's a great ambition! 」(TL: *ahem* romance *ahem*)

That's absurd!

As businessman.

「After all, frankly when I'm thinking about child-support expenses, we'll still in the deficit even if we sold them.」

「That is a very good story for the children-nano.

Even if something like poor serfs who are made to work very hard like horses and cattle until they die, I think they can live a very good life.

But but, the child-support expenses from selling price will rise and become a deficit. As for Ash-kun, it's not at all a very good story-nano.

「…………」

「……iya, that idea」(TL:??check??)
「When Ash-kun do it, the business is no good-nano. It's a charitable enterprise-nano. If Ash-kun's welfare-like charitable enterprise intended to make a slave farm, it's not particularly good.」

I admit that the implication of welfare is put into the slave farm.
However, it doesn't mean that I made the slave farm as a complete charitable enterprise.

「That's different, Syl.」

「If I remember correctly, it'll probably be in the red if I only raise the children of the slave farm as soldiers of 『first-class standard』. However, the selling price will also skyrocket if I raise them until they are the 『best』. Even if profit appears, it's enough. 」

「If I teach an ordinary human being, it will be so/meet expectation. But――」

I open the door at the second barrier and select the half-beast to approach that direction.

「Over a great number have skill, the best……. iya, the story is different if the extreme finest quality soldier become their is their instructor. 」

[i] TL note: simply version - royal/imperial family have national event as birthday, upper class nobles and upper class merchant have different wealth and custom (assuming if they have gifts to give). Lower class nobles and commoner just say "congratulation" for their birthdays, and that's it.

[iii] TL note: "one country, one castle, one leader"- separate kanji meaning. Very unified.

[v] TL note: the king game, please tell me you know of this. It's the game that you play around, get drunk, do stupid s**t and do anything the person say while you developed an inferiority complex because someone is an S.

[vii] TL comment: world domination huh… I guess it's time to play those total war series and hearts of iron 4 again.
