Forli noticed that one of the people in the distance was the village chief and called him over. They quickly agreed on the processing and division of the monocular bear.

The old man’s family would take a larger portion of the meat (the monocular bear weighed an estimated 200 kilograms), but they would also share it with the villagers (in a world without refrigerators or freezers, where preservation is not possible, this would be the best option, although some meat would be dried). The bones would also be shared among the villagers, but the skull would be given to the old man (it was said that skulls were very effective in repelling animals).

Ekaterina praised the village chief. He had lent the old man and his grandson an empty house and a field (a kind of abandoned farmland). He was very generous and kind to him. I hope that they will continue to take good care of others in the future.

The house and the farm were not free, so the old man suffered from debt. Well, there was nothing we could do about that. Even the village head could not afford to be that much charitable.

Rather than dwelling on that, if the old man and his grandchildren were going to live here from now on, it would be better to make a good impression on them. …I had the impression that rural villages and strangers could be extremely troublesome if things went bad….

The village chief was taken aback, but he seemed pleased to be praised by a noblewoman, so I expected him to continue to be kind to the old man’s family.

The old man and the villagers could process the bear, but they would need to be skilled in order to extract the organs that could be used to make recovery medicine, so the knights would take care of that for them.

“I couldn’t give the Young Lady a good demonstration, so at least let us be useful.”

Ekaterina shook her head as Oleg mentioned the monocular bear cleanup, which ended in an anticlimactic fight.

“I am very impressed with your ability because your coordination was flawless and you were able to bring the bear to a stop. I admire everyone’s ability to not only avoid danger, but also to win without it.”

The result was contrived, but if the knights had had a chance, the monocular bear would have chosen to mount a suicide attack rather than run back into the hole.

A seemingly simple assist was more important than a wonderful performance. So said my soccer fan friend in my previous life.

At these words, the knights bowed again, this time with their fists to their chests, and went back to work.

While waiting for them, Ekaterina decided to use her earth magic to assist the knights in clearing the dirt in the untended fields on the outskirts of the village. She was also teaching herself how to control her magic, effectively killing two birds with one stone.

She poured her magical power into the weed-infested vacant lot and dug deep into the soil. The soil rumbled and shook on all sides, and weeds and blackened subterranean soil that had breached the surface of the ground rose.

In a world where tractors did not exist, digging up the earth was hard work. In no time at all, a farmland with soft, fluffy soil, perfect for planting crops, was created.

Ekaterina exhaled with a smile.

I’m tired, but I worked up a good sweat.

Then, there were cheers and applause.

“Wow! Noblemen are spectacular!”

“Thank you, Mistress!”

The villagers who were watching were cheering wildly.

…Hmm?

“Here, everyone. This young lady is no Mistress, she is the Duke’s sister, the Princess of Yurinova!”

Everyone was taken aback when Forli said this.

“Oh, I beg for your forgiveness. I heard rumors that the Duke has brought a beautiful wife.”

The village chief bowed his head in a panic.

Where did that rumor come from? That beautiful wife of Big Brother was me?

Oh my, that made me so happy.

As a brocon, this hit the spot.
