As soon as it was teleported, Yong Ye saw the snow-covered city.

This is in the interior of the city. There was no abnormality in the target theater group that was teleported, and they arrived at the coordinates safely. At this time, a team of city guards also noticed the movement of Shangri-La's large-scale teleportation, and immediately rushed over to the theater group for the first time. and Yong Ye surrounded.

"What are you... Lord Yong Ye?!"

The captain of the garrison, just about to ask questions, immediately noticed Yong Ye in the crowd, who was re-studying the dimensional square, and was immediately surprised.

"Don't be surprised, um... You came just in time, these people are..."

He briefly explained to the group of people that they were similar to those who fled from the empire in the past, and they were also persecuted by the empire, but he just happened to be very free, so he sent them here.

For the arrangement of refugees from the empire, this city near the empire is very skillful and simple.

In the north, where food is abundant, refugees can be initially resettled and provided with food for half a month. In special circumstances, it can be postponed depending on the situation. Then they need to go to work in exchange for money if they want to eat. The basic rice and pork prices in the north are only prices. One-seventh and one-fifth of the soaring empire cannot be starved to death as long as they go to work, and because of the rapid economic development, jobs need to be filled by a large number of workers from all walks of life.

The reason why the price of food is low is mainly that under the order of Yongye, alchemists led by Dotiya have transformed rice plants and edible poultry. Transformation of high-yield rice and transformation of high-yield pigs with short growth cycles.

Hmm... This kind of thing may be difficult in the last world, but the strongest estimate in this world is biotechnology, no, it should be black technology such as alchemy?

Dotya, who is already more powerful than the most powerful plastic surgery hospital in the world, has transformed his body countless times to achieve the effect of rejuvenation. At the same time, he can also transform others into desired creatures just like Dr. Fashion.

Although it used to be about transforming combat, such as transforming an ordinary person into a giant or something, transforming reproduction is a novel research experiment for Dotya.

The seeds of the transformed plants and the breeding mothers of the transformed poultry are completely in their own hands. Yongye relies on these to produce a large amount of food, and then uses food, security, and taxes that are much lower than the empire to lure the empire. The oppressed and miserable people came to the north.

Although these modified foods are not announced, the poor people of many empires and kingdoms and other countries and nations will starve to death, but... this kind of thing is protected as a state secret no matter which world.

For example, in the previous world, no matter which country would research hybrid rice, developed countries also had good results, but none of them would leak out. All of them were state secrets. Even if they were published, they could feed other poor people in backward countries. How do you say things... You can give you finished products to help the victims, but it's impossible to give seeds.

After the simple explanation was over, the guard captain took away the troupe, and Yong Ye teleported back to the imperial capital again.

"Wow!!"

It's a bit unexpected... Since Hei Tong was standing in his previous position and wanted to find him, Yong Ye, who came out of the space door on one side, threw her to the ground like a hit.

"...What are you doing? That's how you came to this position."

Looking at the girl under him, Yong Ye only felt quite depressed, why there were so many teleportation accidents in the dimensional square.

"Is this my line?"

Hei Tong, who was thrown down under him, replied coldly with an expressionless face, as if he was planning to get angry.

"Why? Who made you unhappy?"

"...In addition to Yongye, who else can you be? Suddenly disappeared or something..."

"I just experimented with Teigu... Besides, you are a little over-reliant, aren't you?"

"What's wrong?"

"Yes, yes... there's nothing wrong with it, anyway...let's get up."

Helpless and the girl's reliance on him, Yong Ye could only nod with a wry smile, get up from her body, and stretch out his hand to pull her up.

"What would you like to eat tonight? Black pupil, you definitely want to eat meat, right? Hmm... Chi pupil should be similar."

"...Is this changing the subject?"

"No, I'm seriously thinking for you."

When changing the subject, how can someone really admit that they are changing the subject? Although Hei Tong was not attracted to meat, he was quite surprised.

Walking back to the mansion, looking at the back of Hei Tong, who was cooking lunch in person, he unconsciously sighed, the changes in Hei Tong during this period of time, and...

"That royal hot spring... can it really work?"

Thinking of Kuroko's body, he didn't consciously feel a little worried. If the royal hot springs didn't work... We can only wait for the results of Dr. Fashion and Dotya's research.

But those two people don't seem to be good at this aspect. After all, it is more difficult to restore to the original state than to strengthen and destroy, especially the brain is also greatly damaged due to the heavy burden of strengthening drugs.

Just leaning against the door of the kitchen, considering Hei Tong's physical problems, Hei Tong put down the things in his hand and walked towards him.

"It doesn't really matter whether it works or not. Yong Ye doesn't have to worry about anything. Yong Ye has already paid enough, so...even if I die suddenly, I don't need to feel any debt."

"...This is nonsense, how could I let you die."

As if punishing, Yong Ye put his hand on Hei Tong's head and rubbed it randomly, messing up her shoulder-length hair.

"I... didn't help anything, and I was always worrying about Yong Ye's hard work. I know that Yong Ye's return to the Imperial Capital this time was also because of me, so he came back at risk. I owe Yong Ye a huge amount of money. ... The kindness that can't be repaid in this life, so ... If I really die, Yong Ye, you don't need to feel indebted, it's enough for now."

For Yong Ye's slightly rude behavior, Hei Tong did not have any dissatisfaction or resistance, but just held Yong Ye's hand with both hands, showing an apologetic expression.

"At the end of my life, it's enough to be by the side of the person I love the most. Although I spent the first half of my life wandering, and the second half of my life killing people and taking medicine, but...the middle and the end are happy, that's enough. "

"I don't need to mention the past... Now I have your reasons for returning to the imperial capital, but I am here to ease the empire's suspicions about the north, and you are only fifteen years old, so don't talk about the end before your life begins. , I said that you can do it if you can cure it, how can it be happiness now?"

"I know what's going on with my body, and... what do you think can be called happiness?"

"This... There are all kinds of people in the world, so there are all kinds of desires, and happiness naturally varies from person to person. For the poor, it may be enough to eat and drink, while for the common people, it may be good health. What, or is it a promotion to get rich and rich?"

"Then Yongye is now the pinnacle of promotion and wealth, Yongye, are you happy now?"

"…Who knows."

Because it is impossible to feel happy, Yong Ye did not answer this question, and looked away from the girl in front of him who was watching him.

"I know... how could Yong Ye look like happiness like this."

Put Yong Ye's hand on his face, feeling the warmth of that palm, Hei Tong smiled lonely.

"The completeness of life does not depend on the length of time. Happiness is something that only the person concerned can see, and others won't understand. I am happy. I am absolutely certain of this. Although I wish I could be happier. For a while, I also hope that you and your elder sister will be happy, but... Yongye is definitely not happy now, and the same is true of elder sister."

Hei Tong likes Yong Ye, and at the same time hopes that Yong Ye will be thinking of her, so he can just stare at her, but... In the same way, Hei Tong hopes that Yong Ye will be happy.

She didn't know what environment Yong Ye had survived in until now, what kind of past he was carrying, and why he was so insecure.

But... she hoped that he could live a little easier, and hoped that he could have a good dream in peace at least at night.

"...Yongye should pursue her own happiness, and so does my sister. You shouldn't waste too much unnecessary time on me."

"As you said, happiness is something that only the person concerned can see, and others won't understand. In this case, how can you know what Chi Tong and I are thinking? You must know that there is a cute little guy in me now. I'm quite happy when I say something sensible in front of me."

Smiling disapprovingly, Yong Ye pulled his hand back and hugged Hei Tong in his arms.

"...Don't lie, if you really feel happy, you won't be sleeping in the corner with your sword in your arms every day."

"It's just a habit that's hard to change, it doesn't mean anything."
