On September 13, 513, Holy Calendar, three days after returning from Lake Luigi to the Mansion of the King's Capital.

I relax and heal my traveling fatigue (though not) and don't go out too much as my mother hoped.

My mother wants me to stay close because next month will be on the moon and I will be living in the dorm again next month.

I had such a relaxing time, but now I work as a meeting of the Brut Chamber of Commerce.

Because the Brut Chamber of Commerce is supposed to close for the week from tomorrow until 20 September.

"I'm on a week's holiday in conjunction with the harvest festival starting tomorrow, as planned. I don't care what you do, but don't let fights or anything get you into trouble with the guards.... Especially the three of them there, okay?

I move my gaze to three combat slaves: Clamp, Beckener, and Benezetta.

"Boss, we both know that."

"" (Kokukoku) "

These three are named liquor dealers when they come to the tavern like they do every night.

These three are drinking and walking without saving money because they can afford gold because they give a few gold coins each month as a bonus.

Hi. These three seem to think that they can be my slaves for the rest of their lives.

"Well, fine. Phyllia, explain later."

"Yes."

Feelia comes forward and looks at the faces of the slaves, prompted by me.

"We will now give you three gold coins as a special bonus for the Harvest Festival. Please accept this every day as Christopher's feelings for your hard work."

"In addition to our monthly salary, we also receive bonuses. And then, like this..."

It's Prieta who's afraid.

Prietta's father was ill, so he was enslaved for a debt made of drugs.

But even as slaves, they receive salaries and bonuses to buy medicines, and Christoph's introduction of medicines to and from the Uncle Brutozelles Border has recently recovered by the time he wakes up.

I could make it all go faster at once, but if I did, Prieta would be more thankful to me than she needed to be, and she'd say she'd give her whole life to me like Firia.

As far as I'm concerned, it would be nice to have a trustworthy subordinate, but then I dare not have my hands on it because it could deprive Prietta of her happiness.

"I said that at first, too, because it is to this extent that Lord Christoph can do to all of you who are slaves. It's not what I say, but don't hesitate to take it."

Phyllia handed everyone the gold coins and dissolved them just in case they were able to return safely to their duties on September 21.

But it's uncomfortable that the youngest filia in this is the firmest.

"You've taken care of Phyllia a lot, too. Give her a good week's rest."

I struggled with Phyllia as I stroked Phylia's head.

"What will Master Christoph do with this holiday?

"Me? Tomorrow I'll check the books of the Brut Chamber of Commerce, and then there's the ball at the castle on the 15th, but otherwise I don't have any particular plans. Next month, we'll be living in dormitories again, so I'm going to leave the harvest festivals as long as I can beside my mother."

"Well, I'd like to take care of Christopher."

Phyllia has no family.

There's no one close to me, so it depends on me a lot.

Phyllia would do her best as the person in charge if she opened the store, but when she's off, she's out of things to do.

"Well, then I guess you can help me."

"Yes!"

Feelia is happily shaking her tail as a boom.

The next day I checked my books as planned and after lunch I was just having tea.

Now, to me, Phyllia is a pretty man who's sworn absolute loyalty to me.

If it were this filia, you wouldn't have anything else to say if you knew I'd become a god.

The first encounter was where we helped the dying Phyllia.

For that reason, Phyllia would die without hesitation if I told her to.

But I want Phyllia to be happy.

Just because I saved your life, I want Phyllia to be happy working for me.

So I'm going to give you my protection and tell Phyllia about me.

"I'd like you to be a family member if you can."

A family member...

If you are a family member, you can give them a stronger benefit than protection, but there are also disadvantages.

If I am to contend with another god, it is my family who will be the first to be targeted.

If you ask me why my family is targeted first, I can only increase my divine power if my family exists.

The more relatives I have, the stronger and more divine I can be.

But if I were to die, my relatives, who have a strong connection to me, would die with me.

Normally, things like me dying rarely happen, so my family will end up with that life span, but I can't easily make the choice of adding more family members than in the unlikely event.

"You can say that I am one and the same with my family. In case I die, my family will die, too. Will you still be my family?

"I would have died if Lord Christoph hadn't helped me. So I would like to be a member of Christopher's family, and I would like to gamble with you to help Christopher."

I thought Phyllia would say that...

I knew Phyllia was going to say she was going to be a family member.

I also think that my first family will be outside of Phyllia.

This loyalty, in other words, becomes faith.

Besides, it's a stronger faith than any other.

The stronger the faith, the more divine power I have, so Phyllia is the one who can lead my family.

But if I die, so will Phyllia.

I can't easily say that all this is a good thing...

"... if I die, Phyllia will die, too, are you sure?

"If it was for Lord Christoph, I would give my life to this body, my heart, and my life!

I don't think it's a little different.

"... thanks, Phyllia"

I held Phyllia in my arms and became a family member.

... because it sounds like some sacrifice, but I just normally gave it to my family.

He summoned me to the office as soon as his father returned from the castle the evening he made Firia his family.

As I knocked and got permission to enter the office, there was the figure of Kerr von Vail, the Knight Commander of the Brutozelles Borderline Uncle family, and Rosalia von Excel, the Mage Commander.

These two are heavy towns in the military of the Brutozelles Border House.

The Brutozelles Frontier House has a knighthood that protects the Lord and the Brutozelles Frontier House, a sorcery division that is exerting its power not only in the military, but also in the internal affairs of the Brutozelles Frontier House, and a private army of the Brutozelles Frontier House, which now has no representatives here but is a necessity for attack.

There are about 5,000 Knights, about 100 Magic Division, 30,000 Private Armies and 70,000 Reserves.

"Christophe."

"Father, welcome home."

"Uhm."

The three look uniformly sinister.

"Is there a problem?

I send my gaze to Captain Vail and Captain Rosalia, and when I move my gaze to Father again, Father urges me to sit next to Captain Rosalia.

Currently, the desk where my father works, and the seat on the reception set for the six in front of it, is empty because my father's seat, Captain Vail to the right of the seat, Captain Rosalia to the left, I sit on the lower side of Captain Rosalia.

Of course, Captain Rosalia tried to give me a seat, but I stopped it and sat down.

When my father sat on the couch set, there was a knock, like he was after it, and Hannah came to get some tea and left the room sassy.

"Christoph, I need to talk to you about something important"

What do you mean, changed?

"Did you know the other day that the Allied Lords of the West and the Bossam Imperial Army collided near Fort Verdezas?

"Yeah, quite."

It's a lie.

I have a choke peek because I can see perfectly if I use a thousand eyes.

But when it comes to the battle of Fort Verdezas, the trouble is decided.

The nobles of the west were now rallying their troops at Fort Verdezas because the Bossam Empire was proceeding to the west of the Kingdom of Saint Bandham.

This fort of Verdezas is the guardian stronghold of the western part of the Holy Bandham kingdom and a robust fortress, arguably built along the border with the Bossam Empire.

"He said he had a report to His Majesty that the war situation was inconceivable. That's where I decided to send reinforcements."

Hmm, the way this story goes, you can narrow down your options to a few.

First, reinforcements, but I'm talking about the Brutozelles Border House's power.

This would be unlikely.

The Brutozelles Border House is responsible for the protection of the South, so if you turn the forces of war to the West, the protection of the South could be diminished, and it could be attached to another country, and you don't have to bother calling me not yet an adult.

It seems most likely next time, but I'm talking about supplying a ton of my magic items.

This explains what your father called me.

At the end of the day, I'm talking about wanting to use my magical talent militarily.

But it shouldn't be a battlefield so chopped up as to rely on me as a minor and a student.

You wouldn't just put me on the front line or anything.

I was wondering if you could prepare more Brute Chamber of Commerce magic items than your majesty.

You've settled in a hard place.
