Winter brought me to twelve.

Considering medical hygiene in this world, even if it is as sweet as honey, it is good to think that one-quarter of life is over. Compared to the average life expectancy (not measured), it may be about one-third.

In literary terms, he's already twelve years old.

Twenty or thirty more years before I can pursue my dreams. I want to use this life efficiently and carefully while taking care of my health because of my dreams.

As the first bullet of a 12-year-old torturer, I am assisting the Lord's Hand in his task.

A year ago, when he first came to the city, Itsuki was busy processing annual reports from all over the territory.

There is only so much work that it is said to reduce the lifespan of a serious lord, and there is a lot to regret even if it is turned over to me.

I've been watching other civilians, but it's the same amount as them.

I just offered to help, but how about the official workload?

As I sighed, Arthur, driven out to help me, smiled bitterly next door.

"It's been a topic of discussion in the Consulate since Ash helped manage the Army's supplies last year. If you can do that, I've heard several times that you need help with my work."

"The maids, the butlers?

"I heard directly from my brother Itsuki."

My Lord, are you the culprit?

It should be noted that other project members are also driven to work.

Miss Mayka is helping Mr. Itsuki with his own wishes. Because of the harsh work, I think you want the healing of a loving niece.

Miss Reina, who will be doing this work in the future, helped under her mother, Mrs. Lynn. Hermes, who was working in pairs with Miss Reina, is here, too.

In addition, the military equipment management I conducted last year involved Glenn and other members of the study group, who were willing to help. Since the plan to divide it into four parts per year has been adopted this year, Sir George is also pleased and accepts Glenn as a trainee.

"I appreciate your expectations, but I'm not used to this kind of work, so I'm worried if you leave me here all of a sudden."

"Ash doesn't feel anxious."

"Mr. Arthur?

Don't you think I'm insensitive and can't read the air in my self?

When I look next to my eyebrows, I see a pleasant smile. He's glad you changed me. If you look at me like that, I won't be able to complain.

I think it was Madame Yuika's influence on me. Because of the special effect of first love, I became vulnerable to this face of the opposite sex.

"I've done a lot of things I've never done, I'm not good at, and trying to do it makes me nervous."

"Fufu, of course. Ash is my age."

But Arthur leans his neck with pleasure.

"Ash moves from one thing to the next so that he doesn't feel that way. I wonder if you feel any anxiety, hesitation, or anything like that."

"We're doing a thorough investigation and planning before we actually move, right?

"Ah, I see. If you think about it... no, in the first place, the investigation and the plan itself are not usually enough for anyone to move."

It will take a long time to investigate.

I'm not always moving around without feeling tired or troubled. I'm going to explode modestly, such as why the prior literature is not available, and why I have to explain such prehistoric common sense from scratch.

That's why I don't feel anything.

"There are always people who help me, and I feel very grateful and burdened. Of course, I'm always grateful to Arthur."

"That's... you're welcome. I'm having fun, so I don't need to thank you... but I'm glad Ash told me that."

Arthur's expression looks a little more personal than usual. Under the face of the public official, including the acting, there is a face that makes you feel like a girl.

"But then, how could Ash have done so much? May I be taught for the after-school?"

Wow, that's a tough question.

I've never thought about it.

Even when I was born in this world, I was so impatient with despair. It may have been a good match with the priest of the dead.

That's why the motivation to be born with it is not particularly high compared to people.

Why can I move this way without losing the trouble and laziness?

Because I know that I can do it one day, with memories like in my previous life. It seems that this will have an impact. At least you don't feel like a myth about ancient civilizations, you're more likely to get motivated.

But this is hard to explain to others. I've never heard of anyone in a city who has a memorable past.

It's easier to think of another reason.

Because the situation in this world is so painful, I can't do it unless I follow one or two of my dreams. This one comes true to me. Reading a book of stories is as important to me as ever.

Let me explain.

"Even if you stay still, it's always painful and painful. It is painful to try to do something, and it is usually painful to do nothing. In that case, at least to make the future a little easier, you can hope for the future if you move now, right?

If you put it on, here's what it looks like.

"In other words, I need time to follow my dreams in order to connect my hopes for life."

Arthur is staring at me with a neat face.

Shit, I took it off.

The fierce shame blows my heart out.

Why do I sometimes play Date Man who doesn't suit me? I always do it and regret it, but I haven't learned anything at all. I'm embarrassed in many ways.

Arthur finally responded when I withdrew from my disgraceful posture.

"Hope? What? Does Ash need hope?

Are you saying you don't give me any hope? I wonder if this man is actually the Devil King?

Arthur rushed to find out that I was stunned.

"Ah, sorry, maybe it means something different than what Ash is thinking. Um, Ash, I think we need more hope right now... ah, this is a bit of a terrible way of saying it."

Arthur desperately changed his language and hit him.

"Yes! Ash is always positive, so I thought you weren't feeling desperate."

Though you said it again, I don't think it is a very healing content.

"No, well, I'm a normal blood and nervous person, so I always feel desperate."

I thought it was the end of the world when the core part of the book I finally found was missing.

"That's right...."

The inside of the cute costume was an old man, and she looked like a child who knew the stunning truth. No, Mr. Arthur is a good kid.

"Well, think that's why you're chasing your dreams and running all the way to overcome your despair. I'm desperate to live."

"You must be desperate... I've never felt much from Ash before, but would it explain how to start new things one after the other?

"Yes, perhaps."

I mean, let me explain.

It's time to get back to work.
