「Yes! Leave the 『Follow up』 and『Support』 to me!」[10]
For some reason Valetta made an excessively delightful expression.
「(Ah, she might have already learned the Latin Alphabet before I noticed it)」
His tired brain cells absentmindedly made that thought. When he thought of how he had to live as a god starting from tomorrow, he once again made a large sigh.

At the same time as when Kazura made up his mind to live as a faux-god, in the office on Nelson’s residence at Isteria, Nelson and Zirconia were receiving the report from Isaac who had just returned from his inspection at the fortress under construction near the border with Balveil.
As usual, Nelson was sitting in his chair behind his work desk. Maybe because he was satisfied by the work’s progress, he occasionally nodded while reading the report.
Beside Nelson, in the corner of the desk was Zirconia who was inquiring Isaac about various portions of the current construction work’s status, but sometimes she peeked at the report that Nelson was reading.
「The fortress construction is progressing extremely well. If the work continue proceeding at this pace then I think it will be finished 1 year before the armistice treaty expires.」(Isaac)
Just like what Isaac said, the fortress construction was progressing very well.
Because the fortress construction alongside the national border was currently Isteria’s number one priority, it receive the preferential allocation of materials and personnel, so it was justifiable that it was going well, however the construction was still proceeding at higher pace than what had been first predicted.
All the people who had undertaken the construction had participated in the war against Balveil 4 years ago, so they realized in what way the fortress will become an important defensive position in the future.
They didn’t use slaves in constructing the fortress. It was completely build by the citizens of Arcadia Kingdom, hich might be one of the reasons why the forest construction was going very fast.[11]
「How much is the food production inside the fortress?」
Zirconia inquired Isaac on one point that she was especially bothered about, and he immediately retrieved the information from his memories and started to answer:
「I don’t really know how much the blessings from Greysior-sama that land has, but I judge that it is possible to continue producing enough food for 50 to 100 people to live for one year.」(Isaac)
「...... the most you can estimate is only for 100 people, right? Even so, I guess it’s better than nothing.....」
