Another Life

[]/(n, vs) hard work/

Sandova, the former kingdom of Enburg.It was home to the Roy Kingdoms Enburg Force, the Royal Lutheran Army, and the Knights of Lavana, and housed the headquarters of the Enburg Force.

With the death of the King of the Kingdom of Enburg, the slaves who used to work in the royal palace disappeared, and the work of the current servants was performed by the women belonging to the Hasha Knights and the women of the Koga crowd in vigilance against the assassination of the Order.

When Charlie and the others were fighting the Grand Duke of Anthony, in a room in the royal palace, Mira was sleeping in a royal covered bed, and the door was knocked, and Raho, the daughter of General Manager, came in.

"Princess, it's morning."

"Nh ~ a little bit more...."

And he came unto Mira, and fell asleep again, and Raho came unto Mira, and said in his ear.

Yanagi-sama is here.

"Eh!?"

When Mira jumped up unexpectedly, Naho smiled giggle, Mira looked around, inflated her cheeks, and asked a slight resentment.

Naho-san, did you trick me?

"Yes, you're afraid of your father in every house."

That said, Naho laughed and said while preparing Mira's clothes.

"Breakfast is ready.Even women do a lot of morning preparation, so get up early. "

When Mira came out of bed, Mira asked Naho to help her change.

"So Naho is Major Okamoto's fiancée, right?Didn't you go to see the Major, not me? "

To Mira's question, Naho answered with her face bright red.

"Well, you can't do that if you go to your dorm before you get married.You can always say that if you get married. "

Hee ~, but if you say that, someone else will take the Major.

And Mira sat in front of the vanity, and Naho answered while combining Mira's hair.

"It's okay, Mr. Left Inner is not interested in women.

If Pandora-sama hadn't been forced to marry me, she would have been single all her life. "

"Speaking of which, I've never heard of conditions for listening every time, but what are conditions?"

"That's right, I went to Central School, spread the word, and if you still like Kazuuchi, you should marry me... well, I lost my exam this year.Next year, I will definitely pass the exam.

Does the princess have any thoughts? "

"Eh!?"

Naho whispered to Mira's ears, blushing her face unexpectedly.

"For example, outside that door, the princess is being guarded by Kakizaki-sama... I think I look good on her."

"... no... I mean, Kadao-san has been my escort for a long time, and my brother trusts me... I wonder what I'm talking about..."

Seeing Mira confused by that, while thinking that Raho was cute, she was ready and went out to the hallway with Mira. Next to the door, Ka Xiao, son of Samurai General Taitaka Kawasaki, who was leading Iga crowd in the Yanagi family, stood in the samurai costume and bowed his head and greeted him.

Good morning, princess.

"Ah! Kadao-san... oh, good morning..."

Ka Xiao leaned her neck a little and asked Mira, who answered by turning her face bright red.

"Princess, did you catch a cold?

Then we can arrange a pharmacist right away. "

"No, it's okay! Come on, let's go!"

"Ha, I hope so...."

That said, when she saw Mira walking with her face bright red, Naho was laughing * giggles *, and Ka Xiao was tilting her neck to wonder what Naho had said.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

"Good morning, sir!"

In thanking Mira, who entered the cafeteria, lowered her head lightly. Mira sat next to Ba, smelling the scent of miso soup in front of her, and asked her questions.

Are you late?

"No, I just got here.As proof, the Yamato and Kii palaces have not yet arrived, nor have the nobles of the kingdom of Fressia. "

When Ba said, Mira looked around, and as she said, there were all the available seats.

After joining the Royal Flesh Army, there were various exchanges of opinions and a side of the military council in order to smoothly move things forward when they gathered, such as at breakfast, whether it was the custom of the Red Beef or the custom of the Takeda family.

And even though it was said that the same women were each other, Mira was supposed to spend a lot of time with Ba.

Among them, Roy and Masanori were having dinner alongside each other in the deepest seat.

"The Knights of Witches are moving so fast that the kingdom of Enburg can be completely suppressed in less than a month."

I drank miso soup and Roy answered in amazement.

"My God, the Allied Knights' mobility is a monster.I'm really glad you're on my side.

At this rate, we can give the Principality of Antonam a little more power. "

"That's right. The Hasha, the White Wolf, and the Order of the Holy Trinity will be on their way.The witch alone will calm everything down. "

"You really are a monster group....."

While shocked, Roy drank miso soup, and said that he saw successive generals gathering and exchanging opinions.

"Nice air....."

"Ah... I think our country and the Allies have said this, but it was unexpected that they would even join the Rutai Empire."

"Of course. Pulling your feet with pride is a shame to the last generation."

"That sounds like a Lutheran....."

Roy's ears heard footsteps running in a hurry, and a communicator came in, kneeling on the spot.

"I report! An army led by Grand Duke Anthony and His Majesty Lakes fought near Khan and took on Grand Duke Anthony this morning!With this, the Southern Continent will be the property of the Kingdom of France! "

When I heard the report, everybody said, "Ooh!Yamato said to Roy in surprise.

"General Roy, congratulations on your victory!"

Congratulations!

Roy replies with a smile when everyone sends compliments to Roy, starting with Yamato.

"Thank you, gentlemen. I am delighted that our long struggle for the reunification of the southern continent, which was a sorrow, has come to an end, and I pray for the happiness of those who have died without seeing this day.

Who killed the Grand Duke there? "

"Sit down with Major Charlie Nelson, Deputy Commander of the Knights of Hasha!"

"Oops! That red ghost of Hasha is called, and he's a rigid one."

Everyone was surprised at Roy's words, and Mira, who seemed as happy as herself, asked Ba.

"Does the Princess know Lord Nelson?"

"I understand. Spear and tactics are my grandfather's apprentice, His Majesty Sakura, and my aunt Pandora's best friend.

In the civil war of the Rutai Empire, she performed various martial arts and gave the emperor armor and family crest. "

"Well, I'd like to see you with a woman."

The soldiers came to report whether they were interested in Shirley or whether Ba was having fun listening to Mira.

"I report! Major Shirley Nelson, Deputy Commander of the Knights of Hasha, is here!"

Roy replies with a smile as everyone shouts at the report.

"Uh-huh. Let me through."

When Roy gave his permission, Charlie, who was wearing a military uniform hanging from his right arm, came in.

Even though she was wounded, she looked at Shirley in a polite manner and Ba looked at her with interest. Shirley saluted.I told Roy.

"I'm sorry if you were eating.I am Major Charlie Nelson of the Knights of Hasha.This is my subordinate, Lieutenant Arima Nagata. "

When Mira waves a small hand toward the long distance before being introduced by Shirley, Roy asks a question when the long distance winks lightly to respond.

"You're always welcome to visit the hero who took down Grand Duke Anthony.Is the injury due to the Grand Duke? "

"Yes, it's embarrassing, but I'm unconscious.That's right, I'll give you an order from His Majesty Lakes as soon as I can. "

The moment I heard Charlie's words, I was all nervous and Roy answered with a sharp eye.

"... let's hear it."

"In fact, the battle against the Grand Duke was a piece of paper that would have been wiped out if reinforcements of the SS and Knights Ravana had arrived late.In fact, His Majesty Lakes was fighting with his spear. "

"That's a weird story.Master Oyaji has never fought like that before... what happened? "

To Roy, who asked questions with sharp eyes, Charlie answered by looking at the nobles of Chilari and the kingdom of Fressia.

"We intercepted the battle in anticipation of the Principality's night raid, but the Royal Flemish Army, who were fighting with us, left the battlefield on its own."

"Stupid! My glorious Flesh army is abandoning you and fleeing... heh!"

Charlie stared at the nobleman who tried to argue and silenced him with a murderous eye, and Roy replied dazed.

"It's true that Oyaji led a group of people who had no experience in battle... but I didn't expect that to happen."

"Yes, it was a desperate battle against 12,000, forced to fight for only 3,000."

"I suppose so... so Lord Oyaji's orders are to crush the escapees?"

"Yes... His Majesty Lakes was told that the Royal Lutheran Army would leave the crusade to him."

In response to Charlie's words, Masanori reacts to Pickle and asks questions.

"Let us crusade... is that a punishment?"

"Dear Left, the disposition was in the way of the Rutai Empire."

I see. Some of my family would tell me to be afraid to miss it, but I'm asking you to do it thoroughly.

Besides, are you telling me to leave it up to you to let the conscripted soldiers and ministers get away with it?

"Got it. You know where it is?"

"Yes, the Intelligence Bureau has just discovered and followed us.The Imperial Army of Kintetsu and Kinai will probably expire there, so the Kanto army will recapture the kingdom of Veltran. "

"So this is the last fight.Tell His Majesty Lakes I understand. "

Got it. And, General Roy, may I borrow a room? "

"I don't care. Hey, show Major Nelson to his room."

"Thank you very much. Major Okamoto, gather all the squad leaders and their representatives to come to the room later."

In the words of Shirley, I understood everything that happened in the left, but I answered flatly in the left.

Roger that.

After listening to the words on the left, Charlie lowered her head and left with Roy, and dissatisfaction erupted from the nobles.

"My lord! Why aren't the Crusaders in our Royal Flemish Army?"

"Yes! We will take down the betrayal of His Majesty!"

That's what Roy said to the angry nobles, sending a cold gaze.

"You still don't understand your Majesty's feelings?"

In one word, the nobles stopped and noticed, and Roy answered surprisingly.

"Your Majesty is trying to silence this matter with only the necks of betrayed Bias... If we come out and crush them, we will take down our compatriots, and Bias' voluntary departure may leak from the mouth of the soldier who fought.

However, even if the Royal Lutheran Army leaks, the remote land of the Royal Lutheran Empire... rarely spreads to our country, and the conscripts who followed Bias will not be persecuted.

This is what your Majesty has been instructed to think about the people... and you will regret it, but understand. "

And Roy said to Roy, Everyone is weeping and regretting, and Roy lowered his head in prayer.

"I want Bias and the others to take responsibility for this scandal and, if possible, reduce the damage to the soldiers."

When Roy lowered his head in the middle of the year, and the other nobles lowered their heads in the same way, he answered with a slightly troubled face.

"What do you mean, it's disgusting for General Roy to lower his head..."

That said, Seisei looked around, and when his supervisors, Atsushi and Yamato, nodded with a smile, Seisei answered with Roy's shoulder.

"General Roy, raise your heads too.Our Royal Lutheran Army is about to expire and this will be the final battle.

I don't want to go back to my country with more dead people in the war after the victory.That's what we were going to do. "

"... I can't help it."

He smiled kindly at Roy, but he was stunned.

If it's the last battle, isn't it that you don't have a chance to do martial arts anymore?Well, I suppose General Left thinks we can now make a debt to the Kingdom of Fressia... for political reasons.

Tired of it, Ba looks sideways and Mira sparkles her eyes, and Ba asks.

"Was the princess moved by the words of the General Left?"

"Yes. Whatever the people, let them live and minimize the damage… The boulder is a merciful one, called the Lutai's wings, along with his grandfather."

... what a pure child.Well, at this age, I don't suppose you can see the thick back.

Speaking of which, the princess knew that Nelson... let me introduce her.

"Princess, by the way, you knew Major Nelson.Could you introduce me?

I definitely want to get to know the Rigorous Rigidbody in the same woman. "

"Yes, that's fine... Shall we go before the Hasha people go?"

I see.

Mira and Ba looked at each other, scratched breakfast at once, bowed to Yamato, who had a disgraceful head, left the dining room, and headed towards Charlie.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

At that time, in the quiet in the guided room, Charlie stared at just one point and remained silent.

"Deputy Commander, please don't be so distracted.They weren't dead dogs either... and their families will understand. "

"Ah, that's right...."

Long and close followed, but Shirley was thinking about the dead.

If I hadn't made the Knights a jetty, would they all have been alive?Could there have been another way?

Those who believed in themselves and died felt as if they were riding on their backs, and Shirley felt like she was about to be crushed.

What would Pandora have thought at this time?What would the former vice president have thought?

With that in mind, the door was knocked and Mira and Ba came out.

Charlie, whose face turned pale and was about to collapse, was greeted with a smile on her face.

"This is Mori Omi. This is the first time I've talked to you properly.

Sit down with Charlie Nelson, Deputy Commander of the Knights of Hasha. "

"It's Mori Inamori... can I sit down?"

"Yes, go ahead. I'm sorry I didn't feel well. Mira-chan, please."

When Shirley told them that they were sitting opposite Shirley, Mira questioned them with a worrying voice.

"Shirley, sister, are you okay? You look pale."

When Mira told me, she realized for the first time that her complexion was bad, and Charlie asked her questions.

"Captain Arima, do you look so pale?"

"Yes, I look like I'm about to fall."

"I see...."

Shirley thought she couldn't meet with Nanna Left, but Ba took her makeup out of the item box and said.

"Face this way.I'm going to put on makeup... and you won't know that I look pale. "

"Oh, thank you for sitting down."

Thanking Shirley for that, Ba smiled and shouted at Shirley with makeup.

"Somewhere similar to when I first started....."

Are you in the first place?

To Charlie's surprise, Ba answered with a smile.

"That's right... that was before I became the elder of today's Kanto-controlled Musashi samurai.My father fell ill when the battle broke out and I went to war in my father's name.

It was a terrible battle at that time... It was an unprecedented loss, but the Kanto administration, who was the Athletic Guardian at the time, came to rescue me.I've earned my life in nine deaths. "

"... I'm not in the first place, am I?"

When he said something strange, Ba said to Shirley, he smacked her on the forehead.

"Listen to people until the end."

"... I'm sorry."

Mira puts up with laughter because the interaction between the two is funny, and Ba says while wearing more makeup.

"At that time, I lost many of my ministers... but then Luo Oku-sama told me.

Well done, buddy. But what's that look like?Even if you wear makeup, keep it bright in front of your minister.Even a dead minister can't become a Buddha with such a look.

Indeed, Your Highness is right.If the superior looks anxious, it will be passed on to the superior, which will affect the next battle.

Ever since then, I've been carrying my cosmetics, and when my minister died, I've been putting on makeup and deceiving myself... and when Gabriela died on a boulder, I couldn't. Look, it's done. "

That said, in the mirror pointing at Ba, there was a beautiful makeup appearance of Charlie, and Ba said with a gentle face.

"Whoever leads a soldier must give an order, even if he knows his men will die.That's where you're tougher than a soldier.

If you lead a soldier once, go through with it.Don't show weakness to your men. "

... That said, His Majesty said the same thing.If the general becomes anxious, the people under his command will become anxious.

Well, it was a tactical lesson that made the enemy generals anxious, confused, and victorious... but now it's the same as the enemy generals.I'll buy some cosmetics next time.

That's what I thought, Sherry, calming down and thanking.

Mori Omi, thank you so much for sitting down.

"That's good. You can shed tears anytime, but it's not the time right now... you know?"

"Yes"

The strength returned to Charlie's eyes, which answered forcefully, and Ba said with a smile.

"The boulder is the red ghost of Hasha.Sometimes the princess just admires it.

Let's get along with the same women.In the continent, how do I reach out? "

As she asked for a handshake, Shirley held out her hand and replied with a smile.

"Yes, that's right. Maybe you'll come back for another consultation, but thank you in advance."

"Ah, here you go. Once you come to Omi, drop by the castle.At that time, let me welcome you and ask for a little help. "

"... I can't lose"

"Me too."

And when the two men gripped the hand, Ba let go of his hand, and stood up, and said with a smile.

I'll see you later.

"Yes, I wish you good luck."

"Thank you, Princess. Let's go home."

Ba said so and looked back, Mira waved her hand to Shirley and left with her.

"I didn't expect Mira-sama to reach Omi Shrine....."

Unexpectedly, Charlie answered with a relaxed face somewhere near.

"Mira-chan must be respected by the Omi Imperial Palace, the women who lead the same soldiers on the battlefield."

I see.

The answer was long and close, and she was stroking her chest down slightly because she was alive in Charlie's eyes.

And after a while, the door was knocked again, and the direct light of each unit leader, including the left inner unit, and the intelligence unit.And as a representative of the family who was helping, celery, the mother in the left, and rape ho came in.

Everyone was surprised to see Shirley wearing makeup, but the left inner part somehow noticed Shirley's abnormality. As if nothing had happened, when she sat on the sofa, the left inner part didn't say anything, the other chiefs sat down, and the women were lined up by the wall.

"First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you who have worked on behalf of our servants. Thank you very much."

As he said so, he answered Charlie with his head down in haste.

"Raise your head, Lieutenant Commander.If there's anything we can do, I think it's natural to help. "

"Thank you for saying that."

Thank you again for saying that, and ask Charlie with sharp eyes.

"This morning's battle... was it that bad before then?"

In response to Naomi's question, Charlie once held her fist and decided to prepare herself.

"It wasn't terrible.With the departure of the Royal Flesh Army on its own, we were surrounded by 12,000 enemies, and many died… so far we have been safe whether we will go to 400. "

"That's it... fought with 2,000 soldiers, and survived for only 400..."

When the celery supports the rapeseed that trembles by accidentally holding down its lips, imagine the words that will be said after this, and turn its face pale.

... you can tell by telling the boulder so far.It's a tough job, but I have to tell you.

That's what Charlie said when she put her strength into her fist.

"In conclusion, former Yasumori Okamoto Katsuhiro and former Sosuke Okubo were killed....."

According to Shirley's words, Naho burst into tears on the spot. When Shirley saw others, the left inner shell of the Okamoto family and the celery were flat, and the fortunes of the Okubo family stood flat.Seri asks Charlie, who doesn't know how she feels.

"Deputy Commander... did my husband die fighting the victory?"

The inner left flat answers the celery question.

"Mother, it's about your father, you're as wild as you want, and you're screwed.

And so did His Excellency. They must have gone wild and died with a few people. "

Toranosuke explains that Charlie is confused by the unexpected reaction.

"Lieutenant Commander, we'd rather die glamorously on the battlefield than on a tatami mat... so don't worry about it."

Shirley lowered her head slightly and said to Toranosuke what she thought was the word.

"I'll let the rest of the family do something for me, not just as an army, but also as a Knights.Do you have any requests? "

Seri answers Charlie's question with her hands up.

"Our Bodhisattva Temple is located in the Rutai Empire, but we cannot enter the country because we are sinners who betrayed the Empire.To mourn my deceased husbands, I'd like you to allow me to enter the country temporarily or have me build a grave somewhere..... "

Speaking of which, people from Kanto were banished from the empire.The reason is also the reason, and the emperor can't say it strongly.

Ask His Majesty Sakura to consult Nassau's former monk.

"Okay, let's do it as soon as possible.Is there anything else? "

That said, when I looked around, no one said anything, so Charlie went on explaining.

"If there's anything else the Knights can do, let's do it.Apart from that, I have a favor to ask of you.

Nowadays, it is forbidden for anyone who is seriously injured to enter, but they are being treated at the Ascraft Chamber of Commerce to help anyone.However, the number of seriously injured people is too large and there is a shortage of manpower.

So, I need you to send as many people here as you can to the Askley Chamber of Commerce to help me.However, there is no need to say anything else just because it is a place. "

Seeing the celery nodding at Shirley's behest, Shirley commanded him to stay close.

Lieutenant Arima, gather the men in the other room and send them on a space transfer.

Got it. Ladies and gentlemen, this way. "

Long told me, as the female team left, Toranosuke called out in a quiet room.

"Yes, the Ascraft Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce that researches the best medicine and develops medicine.Often, there was a connection there. "

"Well, just for the record, I'm also the adopted daughter of the head of the association, so I asked you to force me... this time, even Sakazo-san and Sagami-san were seriously injured, so I can't help it."

"Even Sagakura-san...."

By saying that the genius was seriously wounded, the person on the spot who understood how great the battle was, swallowing the goku, asked while looking at the ceiling inside the left.

"Wait in the alum… Does it mean that the Veltran kingdom is recaptured by other Knights?"

"Oh, yes, we will join the fight against the sub-alliance afterwards.

Your troops will give priority to escorting the border, and the rest will be repatriated as soon as the repression is over. "

"Roger that... what happened to the princess?"

When she noticed Shirley wondering whether everyone had a problem with the words in the left, she slightly dropped her gaze and answered.

"The commander... was a bit unconscious and failed by some magic trick."

Everyone is complaining about the words of Shirley, and Shirley goes on to explain further.

"Now, my consciousness is returning and I am being treated at my sister's Yanagi family.The guards are with Uchigi-san, and I am borrowing troops from His Majesty... but it seems that he has lost his memory. "

As for Shirley's explanation, it was Toranosuke who said why, but the inner left explained.

"I see... many people from Kanto went to the Principality of Antonam.If information leaked that the princess was unconscious, there might have been a rebellion, and there was a congregation.

And if you leave it in the royal palace with a memory loss, it will leak immediately to others, so if you live in the country, is there a low possibility of leakage? "

"That's right."

"How likely is the princess's memory to come back?"

"... I don't know, but I'll do what I can."

Everyone was about to complain about Shirley's words, but when she saw that she was tired, she understood that it was Shirley who was the hardest, and everyone swallowed the words that had gone out, and the left inside said to Shirley.

"Okay, I'll do everything later.Lieutenant Commander, please rest now. "

"... thank you. I feel sick when you tell me.

Now, let me say a few words about the Bodhisattva Temple. "

That's how Shirley said as the space shifted towards Nassau, everyone was in the room with the scene and mouth shut, and the inner left clapped his hand.

"It doesn't make sense to be depressed.If nothing is done and the princess's memory returns, there will be a huge thunder. "

"I see. So, what do you do?"

That said, the inner left gives the order to the straight light that has been reclaimed.

"Naoko-san, gather information about the South Islands... perhaps Dwalbuff will negotiate, so don't worry about it now."

Roger that.

"Tiger, prepare to retreat to Alum and contact the forces that are overwhelming the Kingdom of Enburg.Other commanders order their men to return to Alum and prepare for immediate evacuation.

I will report my withdrawal and greet General Roy and General Orange Left... and make sure no one knows about the princess. "

Everyone nodded forcefully to the words in the left, quietly leaving the room, and the words in the left were sighing and worried about Charlie's body.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Oh, yes, I may consult with the monk, but when I get back, I have to do the paperwork for the medal application... oh, I have to instruct you to organize the artifact... there's too much to do, which way to start...

Charlie, who came to Izumiryuji Temple during the space transition, passed by unaware in front of the former monk in the courtyard, who was lying face to face while thinking alone with a bump and listening to the monk's reading at the edge.

And in front of Shirley, who was walking, I felt that someone had stopped, and when I turned to the front, I only came to the cemetery, and what was in front of me was the tomb of the governor.

I didn't know why I was here, and it was Charlie who was surprised, but it felt as if the governor had called me, and the emotions came out, and from his eyes, he was torn apart and wept.

"Lieutenant... I've lost a lot of victims.I'm not worthy of your successor... and Pandora is gone, and I'm not alone... "

Shirley chewed her lips and put up with the feeling that was about to explode, and she heard a voice from the hospital behind her.

"I wonder who Pandora's... master looks like."

When the makeup was in trouble due to tears, Charlie apologized in a hurry and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"But I'm sorry."

"No, no, I don't mind. I don't care about such an old man.

Is that what you think?The awkward monk will go over there, so just spit it out as much as you can. "

Charlie was delighted to hear the gentle words from the hospital, but she squeezed her fist and answered.

"No, I'm the deputy commander of Hasha so I can't cry like that."

In response to Shirley's words, the courtyard reacted with Pickle, and came next to Shirley, and said, looking at the tomb of the governor.

"Sometimes it's important to exhale your emotions.Just like your daughter Wagamama was. "

"... Pandora?"

"Master Left... you look like some kind of king, and you're really twisting.On a rainy day, I cried here without an umbrella.

Well, the world thinks she's a woman without blood or tears, but she's just killing her feelings.I'm crying more than anyone else down there. "

Pandora... don't do that...

"Monk... how can I abandon my feelings?"

In response to Charlie's question, he answered while looking at the governor's tomb with a gentle face as he perceived something.

"You can't throw away your emotions... if you lose them, you won't be able to say that you're alive.But I can endure it.

However, if you don't spit it out, you'll be overflowing with emotions like water from a bucket. "

"... I know what you're saying."

When she answered whether she was who she is now, the hospital looked around and said.

"Fortunately, this is where the deceased sleeps.It's no wonder you're crying over the deceased. "

Hearing the words of the hospital, Shirley fell off her knees on the spot and cried as if the dike had been destroyed.The hospital gently rubbed his back silently as he watched the situation.

Afterwards, after hearing the story of the Bodhisattva from Charlie, the former court wrote a letter to the Emperor, and those who were expelled were allowed to enter the country on an exceptional basis when buried or when required by law.
