Chapter 121 Inspiration (1)
“As you can see, things look like we can expect a decent harvest in less than a month. Since we have already reduced our Tavi sweet potato fields, we plan to shift the staple to Naifs. Even so, we may have a surplus at the peak of the harvest, so we will consider shipping once the merchant contract is finalized.”
"Wow!" everyone exclaimed.
“If I had to highlight a weakness of Neves, it would be that it doesn’t keep well. There may be some room for improvement in that area.”
When Leleim led the elders through the Neves Garden and arrived at the entrance to the village, Tremay was already waiting there. He had been notified by the kittens and came out to greet them.
"Thank you for your hard work, Tremay. What's the hurry?"
"Well, wait a moment. They seem to be coming soon."
After a while, Ye Kai came over with Kiltis.
"Nice to meet you, Elder Lelem. I am Kiltis Klavit. I am the leader of the caravan in Longia. This time, I got some good news from Trimai, so I wanted to ask you for advice."
“Thank you very much for your hospitality. I am serving my guests now… Yes, if you would like, can you please have your friends listen too?”
"Okay, then..."
"Fino! Are you Fino? " The sudden voice was full of surprise.
The discussion seemed to be interrupted, so Chaim led the loud speaker out and decided to continue the conversation in an inconspicuous place.
“What is their relationship?”
"This is the elder of Suqi Township, Mr. Mujipu." He pointed to an elderly dog orc.
"Elder, long time no see."
"You are undoubtedly Fino. Great... you look healthy. I have been worried..."
“Though it doesn’t sound like something the elders who drove Fino out of town would say?” Cham didn’t hide his anger.
"Miss Cham, this is not the elder's instruction..."
“No matter what others say, I cannot exonerate you. The result is that you are exiled. The sin of Mujipu, the elder of Suqi Township, is serious.”
"You knew why you didn't stop him?"
"Since Mujipu became the elder, Suki Township has been in trouble. Every group has accumulated dissatisfaction, and the outlet for that dissatisfaction is directed at Fino. If it is forcibly stopped, the next target of dissatisfaction will turn to Elder Mujipu. This makes people panic and unable to take any action..."
Mujeep's face was twisted with bitterness. For the past four years, he has been plagued by regret.
"Since Finau left, I've been worried that I'll be abandoned by Axalt next time. I feel..."
“Dad wouldn’t do anything like that.”
“But that Asart was in tears. Without his help, I think our village would be finished.”
"dad……?"
"I met Mr. Asart at the caravanserai. He seemed to be suffering from his guilt. However, seeing Fino's current state, he seemed to feel relieved."
"Have you seen Asart?" Mujip raised his surprised face and snuggled up to Fino.
“Yes, I met him. It was nice to see him. I told him I was fine.”
“I see…I see…”
Mujipu shed tears without hiding it. Ye Kai thought he was basically a good person. However, a little bit of miss and timidity bound him.
“I’m sorry. I know it’s hard, but please forgive me.”
“Does this sound like a way of shirking responsibility?”
"That's true. The people in the village are just very regretful, but I don't think they can be forgiven just by apologizing. Can we go back to the village to accept everyone's apology? Otherwise..."
"I'm sorry. That's a little difficult. But can you tell the people in the village that we're okay?"
Fino's heartache has not yet completely healed. However, as a person, her good side always comes before other things.
“I understand. I’ll pass it on. Hopefully, I can make amends one day.”
“Your words are enough.”
Ye Kai and Cham patted their chests lightly, thinking that if Tulio was there, there would definitely be an explosion.

Kiltius spent another night in Dedent Township, purchased his first shipment, and then returned to Lanekia.
If the goods can be delivered smoothly, the next plan is to buy daily necessities from the township and then return to Dedent Township immediately. At that time, they expect to be able to ship the mature neves smoothly.
The elders of other towns saw this and decided to return to their own towns. About half a year later, the shipments from various towns will also begin. By then, the situation at the caravan station should have stabilized, and the lives of the orcs will gradually settle down.
By then, word of the Clavette caravan would have spread, and more caravans would volunteer to tour the towns, calling on Bartello and Grail to make sure they didn't make any shady deals.
It seems that the Kingdom is planning to manage the sale of Nefs at a fixed price. It does not seem to have reached the point of establishing a so-called monopoly commune-style chamber of commerce, but it is said that they intend to deal with it through the implementation of a special law.

The latest craze in the village is playing hide-and-seek in the Neves Forest. When Malte shouts "chase", the kittens meow and run around happily. Ye Kai and his friends often participate in this game.
Every time the "ghost" catches a kitten, there will be another kitten wrapped around his body, so his body will become heavier and heavier (what kind of exercise is this?). Although I thought about this, the kittens were so happy that I couldn't stop, and it was just right for exercise.
When the Senel birds played this game, they were assigned to watch over the kittens so that they did not escape from the fence, and they seemed to enjoy running around.
"Woooo..."
Malte was crushed by the kitten's weight.
The ability to endure such a demanding game may be due to the fact that their diet is gradually becoming centered around nefs, which not only contain carbohydrates but are also rich in vitamins and minerals suitable for bodies engaged in intense exercise.
The Milums, who were having a lot of fun, soon realized that their basic physical strength had been improved without them noticing. In fact, they could clearly see improvement in their joint training when they resumed. They would gradually increase the difficulty so that it would not be noticeable, and they would be able to cope with the dense forest with ease.
