Bandit, Be Ambitious! To Accomplish Kingdom Revival!

When Sadie and I manage to finish the painting, our vacation home is over.

Sadie painted a messy view of the harbor, and Mu painted a small ship that proceeded under the blue sea and blue sky.

That's a hell of a sensibility for both of us. Even elementary school kids are going to paint a little better. Looks like you should keep it somewhere less visible.

Even so, they both seem happy that it's done. I criticize and praise each other's paintings, but I can't think of a place to be praised.

I'm relieved to be back at the fort. After all, the villa is in another country.

This fort, held in the mountains, seems like our home.

"Where do you grow that soba?

"Growing up in rough land as much as possible makes it tasty, so the northern and Mictus villages are the candidate. Let's spread it out next spring."

With more food to eat, that's all you can enjoy eating.

Life in the mountain village is going to get a little better again.

"By the way, the east guest room seems to be ready, but what time will the visitors be?

"You'll let me know from the other side. I think they'll be here before the beginning of the year."

Looks like the construction I've been doing since spring is finally over. The height of the roof is lower than the stone walls of the fort, so it feels like two tennis courts were made vertically to the east.

It seems like it would be a good idea to do a little gardening because it's a waste as it is. Wouldn't a flower garden make it?

The masons are supposed to be working on the waterway without going back to Crabble, but who the hell did they make the construction supervisor?

The waterway looks good for agriculture and forestry. If the right person has not been determined, we will have him supervised around.

When autumn was also deepening. The ambassador came from two kingdoms, Crabble and Torresti. For once, he seems to be a senior nobleman, but he kept his promise of ten, including his squire.

From Crabble, a couple my age, Mr. Caliban and Mrs. Yumil, two children, two knights and three maids.

From Torresti, Mr. Torrell and Mrs. Liza are of the same age. He seemed to have no children and brought three knights and three samurai.

Small carriages and horses are kept in stables built outside the fort.

After that, the kingdom of Tornia. It must come in a month, because the former King's Capital trading center will be telling this story to his own country.

The knight who came with us seems to be a messenger with his country. When he gathers every three days in the halls of the hall to coordinate between kingdoms, he seems to be leaving the fort the next day.

The knight's face is changing because another knight is coming from the other side instead.

"I heard you grow soba?

"Yes, satisfactory grains do not grow in the village on the mountain hem. I don't know what you're talking about."

"Even in the scenic scenery, I guess there is a struggle......"

The lady next door is also nodding when Mr. Tenor groans with a sympathetic expression.

I don't want to be too sympathetic. If you make all kinds of crops, you won't starve even in the years of inactivity. Although it may not be understood by other kingdoms with fertile national territory.

"Besides, you're also opening up. In the wasteland... I thought you were going to make a waterway. Seems to make it from quite a distance, but the construction looks like a Crabble masonry. I think they're loaded?

"The route for the waterway has already been decided. Some of the survey teams are piling on the route ahead of us, so it's okay."

It seems that there are not many waterways in this world.

Thanks to this, fertile land is left alone as a wasteland. Water for irrigation is like a well, so the extent to which water can be used is slightly smaller.

"Then he said we already have a route for the waterway!

Mr. Caliban is surprised.

"Yes, starting with the weir for turning the water wheel on the river Reden, we'll connect it with the river Raidel through the suburbs of Artem village, through the fields of the Tunda soldiers near the fort to the east, near the dock."

Now I'm surprised at the length of the waterway.

I'm not digging a canal, so it will be completed in about three years, but the area that benefits from it is huge. If this goes well, countries will be convinced of the convenience of the map.

Land development is based on maps.

When we show the map that we have at all times in the fort, we are all surprised by its accuracy.

Now that we know the ups and downs of the kingdom's land and the distance and direction of towns and villages, we can also draw up plans for major civil works.

"Later our kingdom is also trying to learn to measure. Sure, with this, you can make a plan."

"I've heard more interesting stories than the King. Lord Banter wants to represent the sea on the map……………."

"It will help with the voyage. It's better to head to your destination at once than to explore the coast."

"But that includes………………"

I know what you're trying to say. I entrusted magnets and telescopes to the captain I met back then, but would I have understood how to use them properly?

Always, the sun is not always out which way your ship is headed, nor can you see the stars.

It's the only way to know the direction when that happens...

I carry out such discussions every three days, but do other kingdoms have advantages?

Perhaps he is also in charge of our role. I have yet to tell other countries the secrets of gunpowder. There are more than a few dozen bombs left because they weren't used much in the war against the Warham kingdom, but there shouldn't be one left in this fort because Mr. Torrell, Mr. Zairas, and Mr. Lady keep it tight.

"The ambassador of the kingdom of Tornia is coming!

As usual, a telecommuter told me about the map and the glitter.

Apparently, communications from the eastern checkpoint. It will come tomorrow. Now we are going to be able to discuss the four countries. If I could, I would like to stay in the situation for a long time...

That night, Sandra, stationed in the village of Altenham, contacted me that the Ambassador of Tornia was leaving the village tomorrow morning.

It will be before noon before we reach the fort. Let Marian prepare a meal for you.

The next day, I was just finishing my breakfast, and I was showing Sadie and the others a painting, but I almost suffer from judgment as to what the hell I drew.

Wouldn't this be a better Picasso painting?

They both seem to expect compliments and are excited about my complexion...

Probably an oil painting. Various colors are scattered over the canvas. Is there a place like this in the natural landscape?

If I was lying or vertical on the canvas, Sadie took the painting from my hand and told me, "This is the right direction."

Green gradients are the colors of the ground, but what should I describe the colors that are tinted there?

Fu, something unfamiliar is pinched between the paints on the canvas. It must have stuck to the paint while I was sewing the color.

It was a slightly tinted but yellow petal.

Wait... Are you saying this painting is a snowstorm in the wind?

Maybe Chris must have thrown the flowers loaded in the square flowerbed into a fine petal and thrown them in front of Sadie. I know you wanted to express that moment of beauty...

In a way, do you mean Impressionist? With that kind of eye, I guess Sadie's aesthetic eye is pretty good, too.

"It's beautifully drawn. Could I have given you some more of the back landscape? Thanks to Chris for the snowstorm."

"That's right. He came in front of me and suddenly scattered petals from his hands in front of me. It was beautiful. I didn't forget to draw that inspiration..."

He smiled and told me that he was happy to understand what he drew.

Next up is Mu's painting, but this is also elusive.

The green gradients are the same, but white chunks are scattered all over the place. I guess it's not exactly a petal...

What stands out in such a painting is a strangely realistic one, Marutai.

During the last few days, it will be in the northern village position that Mu headed. Then this painting will have been painted near the fort.

Speaking of landscapes similar to this in the fort and in the northern village...... Wait, there's a mark on the top of this whole thing. If so, it will be called a pile.

Are you saying that you painted a far-sighted view of the sheep from the fence?

On a good look again, the white mass is subtly shaped differently. This must have been copied as it sees the direction of the sheep but remains.

I guess that means realism. You mean you stopped all the deformation and painted the view as it was...

"The sheep on the ranch are well drawn. I think I can identify it to where I drew it. Next time, you should draw from close range."

"Draw as you can see, the painter taught t twilight. But I thought it was a little far away."

Cats are honest. Wouldn't that be the most appropriate thing for a photographer?

They both hung out with their paintings smiling. In the meantime, I'm afraid I don't know what I painted either, so I'll tell you to keep the title of the painting small behind me.

I've heard that continuity is a force, so if we both go on for a few years, I'm sure we can paint a picture that strikes everyone's mind.

"Lord Banter, the ambassador of the kingdom of Tornia has arrived."

"Thank you. Show me to this room. His Majesty should be in the living room. Can you tell him to come over here?"

The fort's guard will be our Kingsguard. One platoon of manoeuvring infantry under Mr. Sandra, but I think it's too many because of the small size of the fort.

"I have brought you the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Tornia!

When another soldier put the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Tornia through the hall, he was surprised by his face.

"Mr. Hardelia?

"I will be the first ambassador. There are three samurai Rainesty and three samurai and five knights."

"The knights should be escorted to their quarters immediately. I'm sorry, but the carriage and horse will be deposited in a stables outside the fort. Forgive me because the fort is small."

Take a seat.

Where Sadie and Mu came from, Marianne and the others brought us some tea.

I never thought someone would come along who thought it was the biggest problem.
