Another Life

"Oh, I drank too much yesterday"

And when he said so, he lay down on the couch, and held his head down, and was suffering from a hangover.

"Keep up the good work, 'cause I'll drink. It's water and the hangover medicine Doc gave me."

And Chloe gave him water, and medicine, to the left side of him that was afflicted.

Is there such a thing as hangover medicine?

But you had fun yesterday, I can't believe Lana got involved in so much hostility stripping in the summer.

I'm usually so, so indifferent, did you still think they'd take my brother? I knew you were brothers and sisters.

With that in mind, Left and Near took the medicine.

"Excuse me, Master Keith is here."

So the orchid that came in was likewise like a hangover.

"Right, let me in. And orchids, there's hangover medicine, so take it."

"Oh, thank you. I'll sit down."

When Chloe drugged him, the orchid brought Keith into the office.

But Keith, who had come in, had made a big bear under his eyes and was slowly thin.

"What's up, Keith? He's dying."

"Because that's a pile of work and I can barely sleep..."

Oh, I almost forgot all about home affairs by throwing a round at one Keith... this guy is going to die of overwork if he stays like this.

If it stays this way, the Valkyrian region of the Ruthai Empire will become a black company.

"Keith, is there something wrong with home affairs?

"The problem of reducing tax revenues because we are completely understaffed and because farmland in old Panas has been left without people due to the massacre of examples.

And the guarantee of the land rights of the previous inhabitants and the appointment of deputies everywhere… Anyway, this Valkyrie region is too big and somewhere small, so it's hard to manage. "

Sir, look at it with the heavenly eye, we know its breadth.

It has been confirmed that this Valkyrie region is about the size of Western Japan… will it increase the number of people in internal affairs after all?

With that said, you told me to think about where Pandora would get the job for those who are wounded and unable to return. Turn it this way.

I wonder if anyone other than the fittest should turn to Freya's school or something.

"Well, then turn those who are wounded and unable to return, so use those who seem to be able to use them"

"Thank you. I'll sit down. So, what's up with you today?

"Actually, my relatives in the Luthai Empire want to move to Lake City, but do you have any good land and jobs?

"Wouldn't that be good in this left Kingsguard?

"There are about 800 people who are a little special… their hope is that they are somewhere away from home.

So close to Lake City...... are you there?

"Then what about here?

With that said, Keith spread the map over the table and pointed to the place, which was a huge delta of great rivers flowing into a huge lake in Lake City.

I see. If you're here, it's easy to keep the secrets inside just by managing these two bridges.

The problem is, the job that becomes camouflage, but the job that incurs taxes is not good because there is a risk that I will find out where I'm from... Let's make this my land, shall we?

"Hey Keith, can I build a farm for the Sakura family in this place?

"That's a thankful story. Just now this delta has a huge farm, so it will be easy to build a new one."

"And the farmland vacated by the example massacre, but what about zoning out and giving it to the hopeful?

Of course, not to say for free, what about collecting taxes at previous rates for ten years and, in ten years' time, ceding all rights to land to that person and reverting to the normal rate of tax?

"I see, if you zoned in advance, it would be effective because there are no one out there who would be forced to take large plots of land and be unable to pay taxes.

And until governance stabilizes, there's something in it, so it's better to have more taxes.

Let's now coordinate the recruitment of settlers for the Ruthai Empire by speaking to the Morning Court. "

"Okay, please."

And it came to pass, when the left hand was near, that the door was opened, and the orchid was sorry.

"Um, Colonel Tsushima is here..."

"Oh, it's that time already"

"Okay. Well, I guess it's time to go."

Keith, who said so, went out of grace and instead came in, the crane sticking out of his hat in uniform, the dog ear catching his close left eye.

If you touch that moff-moff, you look good... no, you're talking more about gold than that.

"Chloe, why don't you leave me alone with the crane for a while, will you? Because it's a secret story. Above...... is that orange potato today? Take off your superiors too."

So when the left hand side was paid, and confirmed with the heavenly eye, the crane fell down to the left side.

"Thank you very much for saving my mother's life. My father, Left Horse Yun, was also grateful to His Excellency.

Whatever happens to the Kojima family, they follow you. "

"Well, that's a thankful offer.

Quickly, Colonel Tsushima... No, I'd like to ask the Tsushima Crane individual, how is gold made from Takano Mountain transported to the continent?

…… Why did you do that?

"I heard the logic of this world from the Emperor.

And by chance, I knew that the roots and the miscellaneous people were involved in reason.

If so, if we are to manufacture currency at the behest of the Emperor, we will become Takano Mountain, which the Emperor knows well.

But the question arises here, no matter how many sea-going people say it is, it is strange that the Fujima family, which leads the largest naval force in the Luthai Empire, is not involved in this matter.

Must be involved somewhere, I'm staring... what do you think, a hit?

To the word near the left, the crane said, sweating cold.

"I'll sit you down right there. The Kojima family is involved in carrying gold and silver…"

Carriage of gold and silver...... so are they carried on the maritime route?

"Why don't you tell me? Of course I won't say anything else."

"Okay.

The Ruthai Empire produces gold to the east and silver to the west, and all its mines are under the direct control of the court.

Gold is collected once in Edo and silver once in the border port, from where it is collected in Sakami by sea.

So we divide it into things that we use to make currency and things that we keep in circulation, and the manufacturing is sent straight to Mt. Takano.

And now, the currencies manufactured are transported by sea to Fushimi and delivered to the Morning Court. "

Right, so Kojiro and the others are only after the land route from Fushimi to Kyo.

It's so short, it's so hard. This is... so it's obvious because we're choosing a sea route that's easy to guard.

Why don't you talk to the Emperor inside?

"Well, then listen this far, and as it is, you will be anxious, and I will talk to you about it because I will have help later.

The Shinobi Kazama clan became one of us and became related to the Sakura family. "

And the crane was astonished by the word near his left, and was in his face, which he said was very incredible.

"Can't you believe it? Adele, my wife's brother, got engaged to Summer, the daughter of Lord Kojiro Kazama.

But I want to discuss it with Lord Kojiro and hide what the Kazama clan has become on our side and make it look more hostile to the others.

So talk to the Emperor inside and let him rob the Left Kingsguard of the money he sends. They need money, too.

I decided to move my clan from Hakone Mountain, near Lake City. "

When the left hand said so, the crane thought for a while and said:

"It's not that I don't believe in you, but there's one place that doesn't really fall.

Why does Your Excellency need and need a dedicated ninja? Shinobu would be in the coalition. "

This guy's a more discreet woman than I thought.

Until I can convince myself, he seems to be the type to look into it himself.

The type I said is a nasty one to look into yourself and act on your own to treat you as a subordinate, but if you treat me as a general who leaves everything to you, you are the best type to move and act on the distribution if you are convinced.

Lord Left Horse Yun would have liked to be the Lord, had she not been a woman.

"Sounds like you should be honest with me about everything. You know there are three factions in the Luthai Empire right now?

"I know. My father is proud to be a Continental, and so do I."

"Right.

A few weeks ago, when the Emperor told me to buy slaves, I bought slaves at a slave trader I knew.

That night, when my hand visited the slave trader, the slave trader was murdered and the contents replaced. "

"Were you putting him in?

"Yes, his name is Scarface.

He who kills someone who comes into contact with an assassination target, peels off his face, scalps, becomes his killer, and assassinates him in close proximity. "

"I see, then the target is His Excellency, and the client is a militant or a militant, and His Excellency is admired."

"Yes."

"But that's a weird story"

"What's so weird about that?

"It is indeed odd to know about the purchase of slaves with the life of an emperor, of the Ruthai Empire, which is also of the upper echelons, but to aim to life.

The loss of legs, etc. may be considered, but if you lose your lord now, the loss of the Empire will be so great that the Empire itself will suffer painfully, the worst Allied forces could collapse and the Empire could perish.

No matter how much you call it, you know where it is. "

Sure, if you say so, the crane makes sense.

"So who?

"I don't know about that, but the story of Your Excellency's exclusive ninja, I think that's good too.

... but this matter smells like kina. Who wishes for the demise of the Empire within the Empire, or who disturbs His Excellency within the Union?

... Has this matter been spoken to by Brigadier General Sanhao?

"No, I haven't spoken to Kiyoshin yet."

"Then you should talk to him once.

Brigadier General's father, Sanoku Kushin, is quite familiar with you behind the Empire, even though you are hiding, so he will help you.

We are not very familiar with the great names that are centered around the Navy because they are called pirate great names and are scorned inside the Empire.

But if you're a famous Trinity House, you're familiar with the information you said. "

I see, Kiyoshin's father... that said, he immediately purchased the information and reported it to Kiyoshin.

At that time, I thought it had been circulated by the rulers, but maybe the information I purchased on my own.

But this crane gives me precise advice, you're the military type.

"Okay, you're right, I'll even try to talk to Kiyoshin.

Yes, the story changes, but I'd like to see Yun Left Horse, the father of the crane, for once. Of course, when you're feeling better, you can go to the border. "

"Thank you. I'll sit down. My father would be delighted."

And the crane, having said so, bowed his head, rejoiced.

――――――――――

When Near Left was meeting with the crane, behind Edo Castle, the heart of the Luthai Empire's Kanto, it was in a dim room with a man in his early forties, rare and plentifully fat in the Luthai Empire, lying down with a woman's knee pillow and gracefully blowing a xel.

This man, named Yokose Musashi Conservative Cheng, belonged initially to the anti-Korean faction in the previous civil war of the Luthai Empire, but he was a man who insisted on the Korean faction in exchange for Musashi One, and belonged to the militant faction, but others thought he was doing a self-depraved life.

And it came to him that a man with grey eyes came to Musashi with a large luggage.

"My lord, the woodworking that went to the mainland has brought you what you want."

Reacting to the words, Musashi said with a smile that when he jumped out of his knee pillow, he approached the man with the eyes of the ship.

"You're finally here! Hey, you're good enough, back off."

Saying so, Musashi did not tell the woman to back off quickly, but when she signaled by hand, the woman only had her kimono right, and rushed out of the room, and went out.

"My lord, women are a little more polite. In the first place, I wonder what it would be like not to marry a real wife."

"Books are always annoying, I know. More than that..."

"Now I will sit down..."

That said, the book gave one luxuriously decorated little crate to Musashi.

"This..."

That being said, Musashi turned over the inside of the crate given to him by the book, and when he took the jewels inside out, he removed the plank at the bottom of the crate and read the letter that was inside.

Musashi Shosho, who read the letter, went from an initial smile to a grumpy face within the mirror.

And it came to pass, when he saw his face, that he heard it, moving his pimples and his frowns.

"Apparently, you failed."

"Well...... but that's right, woodworking. Looks like he just moved into the infiltration of the Left Kingsguard."

"But I still disagree, not knowing where the horse bones are, using people from the continent, etc."

"Well don't say that, the books are hard headed. How far is the example plan going?

"Yes, the minister of the great name of Kanto already has it all under control. Next, we're going to reach out to the Northeast Daimyo."

"Well, it's not a good idea to come this far and find out in the morning, but be careful."

"I understand. The humiliation with which my lord bowed his head to the armies of the court at that time, I still cannot forget… it is in my dream that I will lay down the hammer of righteousness on the rotten court and that my lord will unite this country."

"Book, I appreciate that feeling, but I don't know where my ears are... you know what I mean?

"Yes."

And he bowed his head, and said,

――――――――――――

A few days later, Kojiro, along with Jack, went back inside and prepared to migrate, and Left and Near had asked Kanbai to come alone to Kanbai's mansion for a top-secret meeting with the Emperor.

"Excuse me, Master Minori, I'm here in His Highness's absence."

"You don't have to behave so much. You're Lana's husband, so you're just like my son.

My son came to my house, and there's nothing inconvenient about it. "

"It would be helpful if you could say that. Where is he?

"He will come earlier and wait away."

"Excuse me."

So the left-hand side prayed to Tomorrow, and went away.

Have you already paid the same amount as last time... it will always be inconvenient in His Highness's mansion.

In that sense, it might be convenient to do something once the Kyoya Mansion is complete.

The question is the means of communication, but is this something to be done in discussion with the Emperor?

With that in mind, when the left-hand proximity turned down the hallway, there was an emperor sitting on the edge of the distance, looking at the moon.

"If you stay here, I'll catch a cold."

"General Left... take a look at that moon"

"The moon?

When the Emperor told me and the near left looked at the moon, it was a full moon floating in the beautiful night sky.

"Look, General Left, even when you come to this world, the beauty of the moon is just like our homeland."

"Right...... anything?

"You know... let's talk inside."

The look on the face of the emperor who stood up saying so seemed somewhere lonely.

Looks like something really happened.

With that in mind, the left-hand proximity was prompted by the Emperor and came into the midst of a detachment.

And when the left-hand side went in, the emperor said with a melancholy face.

"General Left, aren't you afraid of me?

"Scared? Why?

"Because of this skill, twist the will of those who speak to me so that they do not defy me.

You're gonna be my puppet, aren't you?

"To a puppet? Am I right?

Loyalty to the Emperor, for a long time, I have, and I will never forget the grace of that time.

Skills, but if you watch your conversation, you have nothing to fear, and I know that the Emperor is not such a person. "

"Well... it's good to see General Left today, because I can apologize then.

Looks like I was floating a little too, sorry. Stay with me as a friend. "

So the emperor bowed his head to the left.

"Please don't, I'm not thinking anything. Besides, didn't the Emperor hear my wish?

Thank you very much. "

"That would help if you said so"

"So, today I have a consultation with the Emperor, and I have prepared this occasion"

"Consultation?"

"Yes... someone actually targeted my life the other day"

The emperor who heard the word narrowed his eyes and, obviously, put his disgust on his expression.

"Assassination..."

"That's right. It's good that I'm targeted, but I want to prevent the damage to my family, whatever it takes.

But few people can be trusted with my gestures... so take the Shinobi Kazama clan. I succeeded in subordinating it to me.

So, after discussing it with my head Kojiro, I was wondering if the Kazama clan could use it to hide what was under my command and, rather, to make it look like it was hostile, to burn out the killer.

For this reason, I thought about robbing the funds that would be transported to the Sakura family... "

"You want me to help you with that robbery?

"Yes."

"... Hmm, okay. Admiral Left, your lord is going to have a wedding next time, right?

"Yes, it's scheduled for my head in December"

"A little early, then, but let us send a wedding celebration from your place to the Lord's Kyoto mansion. Make the guard handy and send it at night, so it's good to rob it there"

That's an emperor, his head spins fast.

"Thank you. I'll sit down. So, what happened to the Emperor?

"Destiny is ironic... I've met friends like Freya and General Left, but my life is about to run out"

……

The word of the emperor was a shocking word in the near left.

If the Emperor falls now, the Ruthai Empire will become unstable, if he is used there by Purvel, no good... wait, before that, is there a successor to the Emperor?

If not, surely the Luthai Empire will enter civil unrest again.

So he thought, and when the left-hand side was anxious, the emperor took the left-hand side.

"General Left, I'm sorry, that was a bad way of putting it. He's got 50 years left."

"O, fifty years..."

Unexpectedly, he stroked his chest down.

"But I'm saying that life expects to run out within 50 years... I mean, someday, I don't know.

So, unwillingly, I'm going to take the Minister of State. "

"Talk about the Minister of State?

Married to the Minister's daughter.

Minister of State, you want to enter into a marital relationship with the Emperor... wait a minute, why am I upset? You shouldn't mind factional strife.

You mean I was soaked in factional strife without my knowledge?

"I think it's a good story, but I don't think the emperor feels like it."

"Are you telling me to take the peace and tranquillity of my people rather than let myself go through like this?

"I thought you were right... I think the Emperor is the Emperor only if he dedicates all of that to the Empire"

"Absolutely, the Lord says it's clear... but the Lord says it and I'm ready, thank you"

After this, the emperor and the left-hand man, until late at night, celebrated in chatter, in which the handover of confidential letters and the meeting place from the next time were decided upon by the Sakura family Kyoya.

A few days after this meeting, there was an incident in Kyo in which an item from the Emperor, from the Sakura family's wedding celebration, said it would be robbed.

Left behind at the scene of the crime, the killer discovered that the Kazama clan was involved, and the Emperor of the Ruthai Empire and Admiral Kiyobu Sakura were angry as if they were on fire, and requested the Bulletin House to catch the Kazama clan.

However, Fusei Fusei Yoon Chung-hui, the head of Fusei Prefecture, had no control over the main waist.

When it came to the Kazama clan, it was known that there was inside Hakone Mountain, but they only sent out a search party a few times.

"Um ~ Are you sure? The Left Kingsguard has asked me what happened and what happened..."

"Throw it away."

"What?"

"I'm telling you to ignore me."

Zhonghui, who said so, said so clearly in a grumpy manner, so much so that he could see from under that mask.

I felt good because of it, but after I interrupted... But the guy from the left general, he feels good, I didn't know he was going to rob me of a celebration from the emperor.

With that in mind, a black shadow appeared behind Zhonghui, who walked in a light stride through the corridor of Buzhengfu, and spoke to Zhonghui.

"Dear Bullet Jung Yoon..."

"Shinobu... what, did General Left have any movement?

"It seems that in the Delta near Lake City, we will gather the relatives of Lord Left Kingsguard to build a farm and build a village."

"Hmm... burn it"

"What?"

"I told you to burn it. Oh, yeah. Can you get in touch with the Kazama clan?

"Are you in control?

To Shinobu, who said anxiously, Zhonghui looked back at Kurli, and when he went to Tsukatsuka and Shinobu, he grabbed up his chest and said:

"Are you stupid or what? Why do we have to wipe General Left's ass?

I don't know what happened, but the Kazama clan seems to recognize General Left as their enemy.

Then I'm telling him to use it to burn the village of the Left Admiral's kin.

Even if they get caught, there's nothing painful or painful about it, so why don't you just do it? "

"But what if I didn't get on this invitation?

"There you go, lords, if only the Koga would do it"

"... ugh! You got it."

Shinobu, who said so, shook Zhonghui's arm off and disappeared.

"Shinobi has an opinion on me... well, if you look at the desperate face of General Left, you'll feel a little better"

Zhonghui, who said so, left under his mask, overflowing with laughter.

―――――――――

When Zhonghui was plotting something bad, Bash was drinking at Nassau's father's shop at a table for one.

In the store, Yoram and his usual regular customers drank as usual, and one uniformed elf came in while they were making a scene.

Yes, it is Chloe.

When Chloe entered the store, when she found a bash drinking one in the corner of the store, she ordered ale from the clerk Yetta and sat in front of the bash with the jock in one hand.

"Chloe, are you home from work?

"Oh yeah, I'm still working overtime today. I never thought your secretary would be too busy.

Honestly, I'd be terrified if there wasn't an orchid or a viola. "

Chloe, who said so, drank all the ale at once, fell to the table, as if she had exhausted herself.

"I'm sorry, I'm busy, but call me here."

"No, it's fine. I had something to deliver to my father anyway... but you have it here."

And Chloe, who said so, lifted up his face only, and said unto Bash,

"Yeah, I know. Did you find out about the example?

"Oh well. Is that Sanosuke... do you know him?

"No... he's the one I know who was my lover"

"... well, that's hard..."

Chloe, who had said so, lay his face down on the table as it were, it was hard to say.

No way... is that what you're saying? I... what can I say to Tina...

Bash, who thought so, said with all his strength, meditating his eyes.

"Chloe, tell me"

"... ok.

There were six men by the name of Sanosuke who had participated in that battle.

In it, I thought that whoever was stationed in this Nassau would have been the one who was there during the first Nassau defense battle, and when I looked into it, there was only one.

The man, referring to his name as Sanosuke Akabori, is said to be a former minister of Brigadier General Mitsuhao... probably his Sanosuke is definitely in that Akabori Hall.

The Akabori lord was assigned to the Eastern Squad, organized around former Sanho family members after the Panas offensive, and was in the scouts out of that village of Rugonee. "

"Hey, that's..."

"Oh, Brigadier General Sancho's scouts are at the ambush of the Witch Knights (Night Witches) led by Colonel McGregor, a devastated battle.

That's when the scouts all died in battle. "

Bash was ready, but when he heard the story from Chloe, something cold and heavy on his back felt like a ride, and even though it was a noisy store, he didn't hear a sound at all, he just heard a loud sound of his heart.

"Hey Bash...... you fucking lizard!

Chloe, who said so, kicked Bash's tibia, completely unresponsive, as much as she wanted, but her kicked leg just hurt.

"Hmm? What's up, Chloe?

"What's wrong, it's not, you guys really Lizardman are too hard... not okay? What do you want me to say with you?

Say it with me? Chloe did?... Right. I have to tell Tina.

"I'm sorry, that's right, you can't be a woman."

"I can't do this to a woman?... No way, is that kid a whore?

"Yes."

"... you really suck"

"What?

"You Lizardmans should have no pride in buying a woman.

You did that, didn't you? I really admitted that the pride there was amazing... that's sad.

Your father will cry when he hears about this. "

"What are you talking about, I just told the Miyagi..."

Shit, they're shutting me down... I can't help it, am I the only one here with the stigma?

"To your palace?

"No, a mistake, a mistake. I was interested in going alone.

But I didn't do anything, I was just talking. "

That was the bash I said, but Chloe's eyes were those of complete suspicion.

"Well, that's what I'm going to say... you really don't have to go there..."

I found out, but I've been in love with your palace for a long time now, so you'll be fine.

"Well, that's why I'll leave it to you to tell.

What happened to the body at the place? Is there a grave?

"Oh, that's the story. They say the Knights of Witches (Night Witches) have stripped and left their gear to gather information.

But after the war, they will build a consolation tablet and a support tower at the Fountain Dragon Temple for those whom your palace said so. "

"Consolation tablets and feeding towers? What the hell is that?

"I don't know much about it, either, but anything is a religion in the Luthai Empire, and even if it dies and there are no bodies, it sounds like it's going to be something like a grave.

Besides, he's not alone, and he puts all those who died in this battle in the grave there.

Well, why don't you ask the monk in the hospital what he said? It's a habit we don't understand. "

"Well... hey Chloe, your father won't say anything if you marry another race?

To that abrupt bash question, Chloe solidified, and turned bright red to her ear, and said:

"Oh, oh, oh, you, what are you saying?"

"No, you and I have a similar situation.

Each other, they're children of tribal chiefs, and they have no other brothers.

Besides, it's the same time we served each other and your palace. "

"If you say so, yes, but we Elves and Lizardmans are different.

We elves, much like humans, only have different lifespans and different ears and magic powers, so we also have children and have no problems.

Besides, you Lizardmans have kids with eggs first, and the same thing is communication of will, bipedal walking and eating.

I can't believe we're getting married. "

"... Chloe, you're marrying your master, isn't that a prerequisite?

"Then, then, don't be silly!... Isn't he human?

"No, I'm a human being... I'm sorry to hear that."

"No, it's good. Let's drink today, because I'm off tomorrow."

"Hey, I'm going back to my unit tomorrow! And your father had something to give you, didn't he?

"Such detail is good. Hey, Yetta! Get me some wine and some food over here!

That's what Chloe said, cheerfully at the counter, to Yetta.

You idiot, I can see you trying to force me to encourage you to be depressed.

Bash drank the wine that Yetta had brought, thanking Chloe for her kindness.
