The Villainess Is Changing Her Role to a BroCon

and walk slowly.
The sugar beet apparently didn’t grow up to be able to walk, but just wiggled around as it was planted, so let’s just say that it was less mysterious…yet.

Ahhhh, I didn’t know how to describe that thing!

“Um… Forli-san.
It would seem to be an unusual crop, so how did it spread so quickly?”

Even in my previous life, when potatoes and tomatoes were first introduced to Europe, people were wary of them and did not spread them that easily.

No, potatoes and tomatoes originated in other countries had already taken root in the imperial lands, and sugar beets originated in Yurinova, so the conditions were different… but…it was all so confusing!

Forli chuckled at Ekaterina’s words.

“It was introduced somewhat forcibly about 30 years ago in the land directly under the duke’s control, and the peasants have grown accustomed to it, but even after that long, it has not spread to the landowners, such as the small lords and other landowners.”

Forli continued.

“We can buy it at a good price because it is an expensive commodity when processed into sugar, but only those who need to earn money due to their own circumstances are willing to grow it.”

Ah, I knew it.

But maybe that explains why Yurinova managed to get a near monopoly on the production of sugar beets.

“That’s not surprising, since sugar beets are the favorite food of many omnivorous magical beasts.
Therefore, it is not possible to grow it in areas close to the habitat of the magical beasts.”

Ah, yes.
Even in my previous life, the problem of beast damage was a major issue, but I imagine it’s even worse in this world.

Just then, the carriage stopped.

“Young Lady, Sir Forli.
I apologize for the sudden interruption.”

The person who called out from outside the carriage was Oleg Gardia, who was leading the escort knights.
He was the eldest of the twin sons of Laiza, the housekeeper of Yurinova Castle.
The twins shared their mother’s dark purple hair and fine features, as well as their father’s strong physique as vice-captain of the Yurinova knights, giving them the best of both worlds.
