"(When the destination is a small village, is the load food? Then there's no one in the carriage...... no, are there a few of them on board who went from the village to ask Isteria for food?

The man with the head was thinking, shaken by a rattling and rocking carriage.

In the midst of this famine, when it becomes a carriage with escort to Cold Village, you will definitely see it loaded with food for support.

There must also be several villagers in the carriage who went to Isteria for food aid.

"The number of escorts remains four horsemen?

"Oh, it's the same thing I saw when I left Isteria. There are four heavily armed cavalry rides."

These men have been following since the carriage of the Barlettas left Isteria.

The aim, of course, is the pillaging of loads.

They have followed travellers and merchants entering and leaving Isteria, and have repeatedly pursued them by poking and attacking them.

Usually, I don't get my hands on a group like the one with the escort, but this time things were a little different.

"Hey, are you sure you want to attack me? Wouldn't it be just too bad if we got along decently with guys like that skilled soldier?

"Money and food are critical, we just have to attack them. Besides, if you do well, you may not have to fight the escort."

Yes, they were under duress, too.

They were originally mercenaries who had come out of a village on the edge of poverty and were employed as private soldiers by Isterian nobles.

But as a result of the fall of his employer's nobility in the war ahead, he lost his job at the same time that the war went to a state of truce.

Immigration policies to Isteria from other territories, coupled with the stuck fiscal policies of Isteria itself, are like abandoning the land where they originally lived and coming out to Isteria. They are also unable to find a new place to hire, and they are falling for the bandits.

But even his life as a bandit seems to be on the verge of bankruptcy by coming here.

"The escorts will return to Isteria once they have placed their loads in the village. Then we can attack the village."

"He said he was going to attack the village... even in the village ahead, about the guy who was in the war between them. There's only thirteen of us here, and if they resist in a group, they'll kill us all."

To the man with the head who had begun attacking the village, the man on the lata looked dissatisfied.

The attacked villagers are not irresistible.

If you are attacked, you will fight back with weapons, and if you go above the numbers, this one is more overwhelmingly disadvantaged.

Moreover, since a country called Arcadia employs conscription, it is now normal to have military experience in any village where there was a recent and war.

We attacked the village, but at some point we were surrounded by a group of ancient senators, and it could be anything.

"Who said he would dignify into it from the front? You attack every house in the village in the middle of the night. If you hit two or three affordable houses quietly, do your best to reach Gregorn territory west before morning."

"... well, maybe we can work that out. But what are we gonna do with the carriage load? Once it's distributed in the village, it's impossible to collect it."

"No, it won't mean distributing it all right away. Perhaps it should be kept around the village chief's house and gradually distributed. It's enough to feed all the villagers, and it won't be enough to lose it in a day or two."

To the description of the man with the head, the man on the lata finally got the look he was convinced.

If you even take away the food from the load, you don't have to do a dangerous imitation like a chase for a while.

Besides, if you run off to Gregorn territory, you won't be caught thinking about the location of the village of Gricea and Isteria, even if the Isterian nobles who found out about the raid on the village put out a chase.

"Okay. Well, I'll just stick around until they get to the village and make sure the loads are unloaded."

"That's right. There's no point in attacking if you don't get food. First of all, food, if it works, women will be able to procure it."

Woman, with her mouth, the mouth of the man with the head crooked.

I don't think I've gotten any food, not just women, lately.

I thought back to the life of the lady sunshine so far and my heart jumped on the life I would be visiting.

"All right, I'll take care of the house with the young lady. Tell those in the carriage to get some rest while they still can."

You thought the same thing as the guy with the head, and when the guy in the lata also had a sticky grin, he ran out after the carriage again.

That night.

In the clerk's office of the Narson residence in Isteria, Ichigo had compiled a leather paper containing the construction records of the water curing works carried out in the past.

The rooms also have Narson and Havel, each of whom performs separate work according to a good instruction.

As Havel pulls the skin paper out of the shelf, it spreads one before the other, and Narson reads the height and width of the earthwork filled in on the skin paper, as well as other points such as the structure and construction procedures of the earthwork.

Ichirano had postponed and repeated the task of taking notes of them in Japanese on the sticky note in hand and pasting them on the skin paper.

"Dear Kazura, I need to talk to you a little."

A good amount of time has elapsed since the work began, and when Yi Liang thought it was time to take a break and make it dinner, Narson called out in anticipation of a good hand stopping.

"What is it?

"It's about Kazura's position in Isteria, but it's confusing to make it public that Kazura is Graciol. So it would be helpful if you could keep it a secret that Master Kazura is Master Graciol and treat him like he's a friend of mine and coming to the Mansion as a guest..."

"I don't mind. Instead, it's easier for me to move, so make sure you do."

He snorted inside, agreeing with Nalson's offer, naturally it would.

Since only some humans know the story of Graciol showing up at the moment, it would be easy to keep its existence secret.

"Thank you. So, it makes me look unnatural in my position to call you 'Master Kazra' as it is now. So, I'm sorry, but I hope I'll call you Lord Kazura in the future."

"Fine. And you don't have to do it differently when no one else is around. Because I don't want to be worn out anywhere else, trying to force it to be used separately. On the contrary, would you prefer that I call Mr. Narson as such in the future?

"... No, you should stay the way you are. It would be more difficult for others to find a way into Lord Kazura. Let me also remind my men of the fact that Lord Kazura is quite a noble family member and that he should not make unnecessary prying. When you have to introduce Lord Kazra to someone else, we'll take care of it so it's not unnatural, so you'll be fine if we talk together."

"Okay...... yes, I have something to talk to Mr. Narson about too"

To Narson, who was answering in a relieved manner, Ichigo remembered that he had something to tell Narson too.

"I'd like you to lend me the paperwork on the construction records we're compiling, and a map of Isteria and the surrounding area for a little while."

"... ok. But the maps we keep will be confidential, so we'll handle them…"

"Of course it is. Don't worry, I won't do anything to show anyone else."

Nalson seems to be feeling resistant to the act of renting out maps, but naturally.

A map is something that has a very important military role at any given time.

Come on, it's not a substitute for lending to others.

"Thank you. I will compile the maps and other documents by the day before the departure, so if there is anything missing, I hope you can tell me then."

"Please. Now it's time..."

Let's take a break, and at the same time Ichigo said, the office door was knocked.

"Dear Mr. Narson, dinner is ready."

"Oh, that's just great. Let's take a break for dinner."

When Ichigo stood up saying so to the voice hung over the door, Narson and Havel also placed the documents in their hands on their desks.

Follow the maid who had refrained in front of the office door, Ichigo and Narson entered the room where dinner was prepared.

In the room about the size of the tatami 12 tatami, as we call it in Japan, two samurai refrained on the wall, and numerous dishes were prepared on the long table placed in the center of the room.

A candlestick is placed on the table, along with a wall-mounted candlestick, with soft lights of candles gently illuminating the room.

By the way, Havel is breaking up once she eats elsewhere.

"Ah."

When Ichigo entered the room, one of the maids waiting in the room looked at Ichigo's face and lowered her voice.

It is Eira, Liese's squire.

"Hmm?"

Yi Liang looks at Eira, who raised her voice, wondering.

I haven't noticed that she's a lady I've met before.

"What's wrong?

"Yes, no! Sorry!

Asked by Narson, Eira panicked and bowed her head and apologized.

It is a serious act of being a samurai, such as seeing the faces of those who came into the room and raising their voices.

It's a total lapse.

"Jill hasn't come yet...... Lord Kazra, I'd like to have my wife and daughter present at my dinner table too, would you mind?

"I don't mind... ah"

Answering Narson, Ichiyana looked at Eira's face again when she raised her voice just like Eira earlier.

The word "daughter" was pinned by Nalson's reaction to Eira earlier.

Eye-looking Eira bows her head as badly as one.

"(That samurai, maybe the one who bumped into you in the city before? You remember my face even though it's been over twenty days since then)"

From before meeting Narson, Ichigo assumed he would be reunited with Reese in Isteria.

But when I bumped into Reese's squire all over the city before, I only looked at him for a few minutes, and his outfit was completely different then.

So you wouldn't remember your face anyway, and you bracketed your height if you weren't noticed.

That is the sudden facial finding out.

"What's wrong?

To such a good and eira appearance, Narson looks strange as he compares the two.

"... no, it's nothing"

"Hmm... Eira, get me Liese"

He had an unintelligible look on his face somewhere, but he was also asked to pry, and gave instructions when he turned back to Eira.

Eira will be here any minute.

"Yes, sir."

When I replied, I left the room after a gratuity.

Eira walked out of the room where dinner was served for a short time and looked around to make sure no one was there.

And then we take a small run to Reese's room.

"Dear Liese, it's Eira! Excuse me!

Quickly, or as usual, he opened the door without waiting for Reese to reply, and Eira jumped into the room.

"Dear Leese! It's tough..."

"Oh?"

Eira stepped into the room, hardened in the same position as she said it was tough.

There was a zirconia in the room with Reese.

Beyond Zirconia, who is looking at this one with a decent look at Eira who suddenly came in, Leese is pointing a frightened look at this one.

"What's going on? Looks like he's in a lot of a hurry."

"Oh, uh... oh, dinner's ready, so I picked you up!

"Yeah. But we have to knock when we go into the room, right?

"Sorry......"

She is told as if to speak gently to a damned child, and Ayla deeply breaks her hips and apologizes as she slowly drops her shoulders.

Is Zirconia in a good mood or not scolding the seriously-doing Eira in the samurai any more, and when she urged Liese to leave the room through the front of Eira avoiding at the edge.

As Reese passes in front of Eira, whisper

"What are you doing..."

and groaned.

"Reese, this is my friend Lord Kazura. I've been staying at the Mansion for a while, but Lord Kazura is new to my mansion. Sometimes you don't know what you're doing, so make it better."

As the Reese entered the room, Narson introduced Reese to the good.

It's a way of introducing people as if they were Frank's friends for a long time, but Ichigo hasn't had any detailed meetings or anything about his identity, so he'll have to deal with Narson as he's been introduced.

"My name is Kazura. Best regards,"

"It's Liese. My mother has told me about Kazura. Thank you so much for helping me with my internal affairs in Istell territory. I'll help you with anything I can, thank you."

A brief greeting was given by a gentle meeting, whereas Reese offered a perfect smile like a flower and an apology.

I fell unwittingly in love with the so pity of that smile,

"Ah, it's nice to meet you..."

And while it turns slightly red, it returns a reaction as if it were a pure boy.

I also feel that phrases of concern, such as what my mother is hearing, have come into my ears, but I am not all that close to curbing redness.

"(... oh no, this girl is defiantly cute)"

"... Um, what's wrong?

Don't keep your eyes on yourself. Fine, Leese asks by leaning her little neck strangely.

To the appearance of those two, Zirconia broke her mouth slightly.
