After the events with the empire, interaction between nations became more frequent and lively.
Nations such as the Gobaldo Republic, the Ateri Kingdom, the Spel Kingdom, and the Metore Kingdom were already connected to my village and other major cities via railroads. Because of that, we also saw an increase in the number people coming to the village, be that as immigrant hopefuls, tourists, or merchants.
Moreover, we had also been consulted by nations such as the Loda Kingdom about setting up railroads in their territories so that they too could travel to the village easily. My body doubles were still in the middle of that work, but once they were done, we would likely welcome a surge of people from those nations as well.
Of course, the people from the eastern nations were still coming to the village at the same or maybe even higher rate as before. Of perhaps special note, a large number of people from the nation of Kyou were coming to the village all so that they could worship and pray in our cathedral.
Additionally, envoys from the nations that were once vassals to the empire were making frequent visits to the village as well. Based on the flow of things so far, it probably wouldn’t be long before the village began interacting with their citizens too.
“Hmm, I’ve already built a lot of apartments and hotels, but maybe I should build more in case they’re not enough? I should probably also move the walls so that there’s more land…”
I had been expanding the size of the village whenever the number of people who stayed in the village increased significantly, but at the moment, it was already about as large as the Celtia Kingdom’s royal capital. Considering our village has so much more high-rise buildings, our population had naturally surpassed the capital’s long ago.
Of course, the more people visiting the village, the more lawbreakers and whatnot there were.
“*(Heh, didn’t think it’d be this easy to get into the village. And with this many people…kukuku, looks like I can sell lots of my magical drugs. Hmm? Are those bruiser-looking blokes coming my way? …it can’t be that they know I have these drugs, right? Wait, they’ve already got me surrounded!?)* Hey, what do you think you’re doing!? Let me go! AAAAAAAA!?”
The guards brought the magical drugs peddler to the Rehabilitation Facility.
They also frequently brought over swindlers, perpetrators of heinous crimes, terrorists, and even dangerous cultists to the said facility.
With Villager Appraisal, identifying such people was easy. Of course, I couldn’t possibly check all those visiting the village by myself, so I also deployed body doubles in the entrances to the village and had them keep constant watch.
Anyone found suspicious would be subjected to Satin the guards’ leader’s [Telepathy] Gift and have their minds read. If need be, they would be arrested.

“Everyone, are you ready?”
“““Yes, sir!”””
Enthusiastic responses followed Millia’s question. That response came from 200 5-man squads. As each member of those squads wore identical maniacal expressions on their faces, Millia spoke to them in an almost melodic tone.
“I doubt I need to explain it again to you, but let me anyway. You all have been chosen! Yes, chosen to carry the sacred task that is spreading Luke-sama’s splendor to the rest of the world!”
““““Uooooooooooooooh!!!””””
The believers raised their voices with enough fervor that even the cathedral shook. These believers were some of the best among those Millia had trained in secret. While a lot of others had already left the village and gone to all sorts of places to propagate their beliefs, their mission was mostly limited to within the Celestia Kingdom.
This time, however, the missionaries assembled here were going beyond the kingdom. With the interactions between various nations growing as much as they had lately, it was finally time to proselytize to those foreign nations as well.
It should go without saying that each missionary carried a copy of the sacred scripture that was the [Legend of Luke-sama] with them.
“No matter what hardships you might face, remember that you have Luke-sama’s divine protection to support you! There is nothing you cannot overcome! Now, go forth!”
““““Uooooooooooooooh!!!””””
And like that, a thousand people ventured to all corners of the world.
