The next two days passed without incident...at least, on the surface. Thankfully, there weren’t any serious commotions or accidents during that time. Myme was able to operate her business without issue and Mikel was recovering at a steady rate. The other leading clan heads and the nobles hadn’t raised any objections about their stay with the Ruu clan either.

However, the law did not treat residents of the Turan lands such as Mikel and Myme the same as outsiders like Bartha and Jeeda. Apparently, there were procedures to follow when someone moved from one region of Genos to another. Furthermore, the settlement at the forest’s edge was a pretty unconventional part of the domain. Things worked differently there in a lot of ways, the biggest probably being the lack of any taxes.

For example, if someone were to move from the Turan lands to the Daleim lands, the person in charge of your taxes would change. There was a whole process involved in that, similar to transferring your family register when moving to a new address in my old world, which was necessary in order to properly keep track of which houses would become empty, and which would gain new residents. It made a lot of sense as a way to manage taxation. The ruling lord would take possession of any empty houses, and no one would be allowed to live in them without permission.

But then there was our settlement. Until very recently, it would have been unthinkable for anyone who wasn’t a person of the forest’s edge to live there. As such, there had never been a need to hammer out the legal details involved in situations like this one.

Officially, Bartha, Jeeda, and I were being treated as guests. Us staying at the settlement was considered to be the same thing as travelers spending the night at an inn, despite the fact that, unlike Bartha and Jeeda, the people of the forest’s edge had accepted me as one of their own. Of course, the nobles of Genos still had some serious concerns about all this, since I was a mysterious foreigner who came from overseas, but they had ultimately given me permission to live freely. I was still formally considered to be a guest, but I wasn’t forbidden from calling myself a person of the forest’s edge.

So, with that background information in mind, we now had Mikel and Myme to deal with. In order to keep things from getting any more complicated, we took the stance that they should also be treated as guests, just like Bartha. They were still residents of the Turan lands, but they had a good reason for staying with us at the forest’s edge, and from our perspective there was no problem with them still paying taxes to the house of Turan like they always had. Since that was the position we took, they were permitted to stay at the forest’s edge without any issues.

Anyway, it all worked out, no problem. However, that still left the question of when exactly Shumiral would return to Genos weighing on my mind.
