Time goes back (back) to when the Issi and the others occupied the Rugganite castle fortress...

"So it was the water attack that the enemy feared most."

The gray-haired girl, the big library about walking, Biblioteca told the facades of the assembled staff headquarters.

There are eleven people on this occasion: Issi, Plumier, Algiers, Nahato, Maroon, Krell, Verde, Fortouna Rosso, Amarello, Marigold, Smilet, and Biblioteca.

We are deliberately gathering so many members because this is the operational meeting on the second phase of Operation Rugganite Castle Occupy.

They surrounded the oval table and had their opinions fought over a variety of challenges.

Bibliotheca has just given an explanation of what the enemy would do if they attacked the fortress, based on the Ragganite Castle City War Plan, which will be held in her brain (library).

"I see, I've been looking at it from a distance, but the terrain of this city does look like a dragonfly. It's a convincing story."

When Issi nodded, Bibliotheca replied "Yes" with a slight illumination.

"Originally, this place seemed to be a swamp or a lake. But some kind of climate change, or crust change, is said to have dried up the water hundreds of years ago. Regardless of its authenticity, it actually sounds like a pretty poorly drained land. When the water treatment technology was low, typhoons and so on flooded the city every few decades when the Lola River flooded nearby."

Not now, huh? To Nahat asking the question, the girl shook her neck vertically.

"Yeah. He spent quite a bit of money on coast protection since he was the Duke of Rowville's replacement. Of course not for the people."

Smiley opens her mouth to her words.

"I see. That story leads to an explanation, doesn't it? The Duke of Rowville knew that the city of Ragganite was vulnerable to water. Water attacks using rivers are basic. I've invested heavily in defense."

That's what Marigold says.

"We made it transparent earlier, and we looked at the site with Verde. It was really well constructed. It's hard to break a bone for the enemy to destroy it."

"For us - thank goodness - Since I've been here, I can't help it."

Hmm, and Alger nods.

"If you get hit by a water attack, the fortress here will be on a lonely island on land. Normally, it dries up."

"With that said, you had a daily watch around the Lola River when you were looking away from the town of Zilm. I was wary of water attacks."

Fortowna Rosso just shrugged that she remembered too.

"Well, you don't have to think too much about the possibility of a water attack"

Plumier tells me to put it together.

"There are half a million inhabitants of Ragganite in the first place. There must be no sacrifice to win the war."

Well, Marlon agrees.

"I do not think we care about the people, but it is the people who govern the taxes. It's not a good idea to reduce it."

"There's no such thing as abandoning rice seeds."

Issi opened her mouth to Claire's words, knowing perfectly.

"There doesn't seem to be any water attacks. Excessive vigilance would not be necessary in that regard. Instead, let's see if this Arc project works. Please be careful not to get noticed."

The faces of the staff headquarters nodded simultaneously at his words.

That is how Plumier presents the next agenda.

It was a vision of rule after the occupation of the Rugganite castle fortress.

The debate naturally extended into the middle of the night.

Time returns to the present. The time is before dawn.

It was originally when the battle with the Duke of Rowville's army was beginning.

But thanks to Algiers and Tamamo for the success of Operation Delay "Mirage (Fatamorgana)", we were able to afford a day.

This is an extremely precious day.

By noon tomorrow, the Duke of Rowville's army will be back, but by then it's all expected to be ready.

Issi was here all night, too, but apparently felt she could see ahead.

"I just need to take a short break. I'll have to tell her about the operation."

Everyone is still asleep.

Meanwhile he fused with the demon god. The influence or drowsiness itself was no big deal.

However, I am looking for fatigue.

That's why he came to this sacred place.

This is a secret room, originally located in the deepest part of the fortress, accessible only to the Duke and those who accompany it.

This habit cannot be indispensable even in different worlds...

When he takes off his clothes, he opens the door with a piece of cloth in one hand.

There was a lot of hot air swirling around inside.

Of course, it's a bath.

But that's the Duke's house. The digits are not the same as those of the house where Isi lived.

Because there was a big bath there that seemed like dozens of people.

"Raffitia, are you there?

Isi inquired toward the hot smoke. Then from the back,

"Yes, I am. I'll be here."

And a moist voice returns.

As he approached his voice, there was a woman sitting on the edge of the hot tub.

Of course I wear clothes. But as thin as I can see my skin, it belongs to a thin fabric.

The trick is very calm and unpleasant.

I'm supposed to be a girl, but she's actually a strange daughter who sums up an atmosphere that makes me uncomfortable when I'm told she's a wife.

She is the no.0100 raffitier. She is the most prestigious daughter of the Homunculus girls.

Because...

"I'm a little surprised you're coming at a time like this. You've had a long meeting... But it's good to wait just in case. It's a nice hot water addition and subtraction."

Because her gift is what turns water into hot water.

Yes, the bath that is currently under discussion among the girls cannot be established without the help of Raffiti.

Of course, we can get our own firewood...

"I'm always sorry. Cooking the fire is really too hot and cold. I knew it would be best for you to boil it."

To Issi, who said so, the girl smiled glossy.

"Good job on your work today. Please let me know whenever you're happy about this."

When she says so, she recommends him a chair and helps him with the hot water.

Exquisite hot water addition and subtraction relaxed Ishi's body and mind tired.
