In the world of Moe King, I became the ruler of ice.

Rimuru's idea was simple: since they planned to establish a country in the future...

There will definitely be a lot of people needed in the future, so accepting them now will expand the village and speed up construction.

The project on the Kaijin dwarves' side might be a bit rushed, given that they've recruited so many people.

"Alright! Gransta and I agree to your request, but you need to remember..."

Rimuru agreed to their request and explained his philosophy and the village rules.

The goblins immediately knelt down, overwhelmed with gratitude.

They have four tribes in total, comprising five hundred animals. There's another problem that's giving Rimuru a real headache.

That's their name then, but thankfully we have Gransta's magic potion, otherwise it would really be Barbie Q.

It took two days to finally name it; only Rimuru would be so generous.

Summon these goblin chieftains.

The evolved clan leaders knelt in a row before Rimuru and Gransta.

The clan was led by Luguldo, and included Luguldo, Leguldo, and Guguldo. However, one of the four clan leaders was a woman.

Rimuru was given a special name, Lilina, which was more in line with female characteristics.

"Listen carefully, I am now bestowing ranks upon you!"

Rigurd, as the Goblin King, is of a higher rank than the others.

As for the remaining four clan leaders, let them be appointed as Goblin Lords.

Around them, goblins from four villages knelt on the ground, gazing at the two figures in the middle.

"Yes! Thank you very much!" ✘4

This signaled cheers from all around. And so, the goblin village's population multiplied several times over, ushering in a new chapter.

...

"Mirut, can you make this?"

Gransta looked expectantly at the third of the dwarf brothers, who had just handed him a design.

A blueprint for a modern building!

"Lord Gransta, the technology depicted in this blueprint you provided is far beyond my current knowledge. I need time to study it!"

Milut stared intently at the architectural blueprints in his hands. They were incredibly detailed; he already had a general idea in his mind, but...

"Lord Gransta, what are the process requirements and materials mentioned here, specifically cement and steel bars?"

Guranstad provided an explanation.

"The problem is that their error cannot exceed the specified requirements. I've already had Rimuru make the materials, so you don't need to worry about that."

"oh!"

"From now on, the construction of houses in our village will be entrusted to you, Mirut!"

"Don't worry, Lord Gransta, I will definitely not let you down."

Gransta patted Milut on the shoulder and left.

Now that the village could be considered a town, Gulansta thought it was time to move towards modernization, so he took out a set of architectural blueprints.

Rimuru's residence

He was looking at the parchment on the table with a troubled expression. It was probably a miniature map of their village.

"Oh, how should I plan this? I don't really know!"

Rimuru was talking to himself, seemingly having encountered some kind of problem.

"Rimuru, what are you doing?"

Gransta strode into Rimuru's residence. He hadn't seen Rimuru's bouncy figure for a while, and he was a little unaccustomed to it.

As soon as I entered, I saw Rimuru scribbling on parchment, seemingly busy with something.

Rimuru's eyes lit up when he saw Gransta enter.

"Gransta, you need to help me think of somewhere—where should I put these buildings?"

It turns out that the village is developing too fast, and now they are planning to build a medical center and a defense office, but there must be a reasonable location arrangement.

Just like city construction requires planning, you can't just build whatever you want; the whole city needs to operate rationally and uniformly.

"What's so difficult about that!"

Gransta took the pen from Rimuru's hand and drew several lines on the map.

Rimuru looked completely bewildered.

"First, you need to plan the road construction for the village, look!"

Rimuru looked over curiously.

Gransta pointed to a spot and explained to Rimuru.

"Look at the area I just marked out along the road. This area is close to the water source, so we can concentrate our residences in this area, which we'll call the housing area."

Gransta continued, pointing to an area.

"We can use the other water source to cultivate planting areas, while this area is relatively flat and can be used as a military area for training troops."

Rimuru's eyes grew brighter the more he listened.

"Look at where these roads converge, which is the center of the village. I think we could build a large square there, which could be used for banquets and speeches!"

Finally, let's wait for Granstad to finish speaking.

Rimuru looked at Gransta with admiration. What a brilliant move to plan the route first! The problem that had troubled him for so long was nothing in front of Gransta.

"Gransta, I think I should hand over my position as the head of the household to you..."

Rimuru held Gransta's hand and said earnestly.

Do not!

Rimuru, how could you have such a terrifying idea?

...

Kingdom of Blum

A man sat quietly in the office; his name was Fitz. He was a member of the Free Covenant of the small nation of Bloomut, and served as the Bloomut branch leader.

As agreed with Baron Beluad, he had previously sent people out to investigate the reason for the disappearance of the Storm Dragon Veldra's aura in the Jura Great Forest.

Meanwhile, the investigation team should also be back to report on their work.

Because it was a classified mission, the report could only be given in the reception room.

I waited quietly for them to enter the room, and then watched them plop down on the sofa without any regard for their image.

The man's lips twitched slightly.

Before them stood a strange group of two men and one woman, all of whom were C-rank adventurers.

Kidd is skilled in stealth and works as a thief. He is a man who is very good at gathering intelligence.

Kabaru possesses excellent defensive capabilities and is a Heavy Warrior, serving as the vanguard in the squad. Although he speaks frivolously, he is cautious in his actions.

Ai Ling, specializing in unique magic, is a [Mage] who wields a variety of spells, with exceptional skill in movement magic. She is key to improving the party's survivability.

They were the three rookie squads sent to investigate the sealed cave of Veldora.

"Report it quickly."

Fitz didn't show his emotions and asked coldly.

"This is terrible!"

"I really want to take a bath soon..."

"The worst part is me, the one who's in charge of arbitrating the argument between the older brother and sister..."

Fitz listened to their words with a dark expression.

He saw that the three people opposite him had been complaining the moment they came in, and hadn't heard what he had just said at all.

With a "bang".

Fitz slammed his hand on the table and shouted at the three weaklings.

"What's all the noise about! Do you even know where you are? Get your report done and then get out of here!"

She sat down angrily.

The three people opposite were also startled, and then began to honestly report their work.

Hey

What can you do when they're just working-class people?
