I Said Make My Abilities Average!

241 Viscount Askham Ten

The Imperial Army continued to march desperately.

The term forcible army is also a raw, unscrupulous march. But you don't have to fight after you arrive at your destination, and if your enemies catch up with you, you die. In this situation, I had to move on with my willingness to die.

It's all about being able to return alive, with no intention of fighting at all anymore. And the imperial army, which had originally lost most of its consumables, was light because it was approved by the commander and allowed to relinquish unnecessary supplies, equipment, etc., and it was possible to shake off the Royal Army, which was fully equipped and accompanied by a supply unit.... if the Imperial Army soldiers were in their normal condition.

The Imperial Army, which had already lost most of its food and water many days earlier, relied on the meagre food and water found elsewhere than in the supply depot, the slight distribution of water magically created by magicians, and the small animals and weeds collected on the way around, but the majority of the soldiers could not even get to them, and the water that was in their personal water bottles and leather bags when they stopped at the river was running out. And on the way home, we can't afford to go far and go through the river. If you do that, you'll be caught up and captured by the Royal Army you're chasing.

Soldiers who flutter in hunger and thirst but move their feet almost unconsciously.

Through Viscount Askham territory, if you are in Count Cessdor territory bordering the border with the Empire, there are villages where you can conjure food, as well as wells. Join the soldiers deployed to maintain control of Count Sethdor's territory and share the food with them...

When the soldiers of the leading unit walked with a hazy consciousness thinking so, slightly raised their top-down faces and glanced forward, there it was.

... a tent of tension. And the long desk placed in front of it, and the three girls, seated in a simple chair. And behind it, placed between the girls and the tent, barrels and crates.

The tent, where the entrance and exit were closed and the inside was not visible, had signs on it.

"Moving Cafeteria Virgin's House"

"" "" "." "What, then? Ahhhhhhh!!

"... do you have any water?

When the soldier stopped in front of the long desk asked so in a trembling voice, a girl with a big breast, even though she was still old enough to be an adult, replied with a smile.

"Yes, water, one cup, five silver coins. Ale has one small gold coin and two wines."

"" "". "" High. (Gasps) Yeah, yeah!!

Yes, five pieces of silver coins cost about 5,000 yen in Japanese yen. One small coin had a sense of money worth 10,000 yen.

"It would be too expensive!

So yelling soldier, the girl answered plainly.

"Balance between demand and supply. It's the basics of business. If you think it's expensive, you just have to not buy it. We just buy it from customers who say we can buy it at this price.

Besides, what do you think of your young daughter coming to the battlefield with a water barrel on her back?

The danger of getting into battle, of being attacked by soldiers, of being prepared for all of them, that the water you've carried over the days is only worth the same as the water you drink all over the city?

"Ugh..."

I can't argue.

"But..."

"Give me some water!

A voice rang from the side blocking the soldier who tried to eat down and ask for a discount.

"You should spare the money and die on your own with silver coins in your pocket. I will gladly buy the water that the girl carried for us, risking her life! Five silver coins, for the price of life, it's cheap!

That's what I said, a soldier who puts five silver coins on the long desk.

"Yes, thank you!

The girl immediately hands over a cup of water drawn from the barrel.

"Ugh! Ugh..."

Soldiers drinking grubby and water. Extravagant to drink, but not overflowing with a drop.

The soldier, who drank water happily, murmured with a remorseful face.

"I'd like another drink, but I can't drink the limited amount of water alone. We have to give it to the others..."

And, bam, five silver coins were slapped on the long desk again.

"Water!

"Oh, me too!

"E, Yale me!

"Out of the way, if you're not buying, get out of the way!

Soldiers who were complaining about the price were pushed aside and pushed one after the other.

"Yes, yes, I'm not the only one who carried it, so I still have it in stock. Please don't panic, don't push, calm down and line up. If you push too hard, the desk will collapse and it will all be zero (spilled) ~"

The truth is, Yale has diuretic properties, which makes it easy to reject and become dehydrated. But Pauline and the others don't know that, so there's no choice. It was never offensive.

When Pauline and the others were busy selling drinks, one soldier muttered as if he noticed something.

"Mobile dining room, Virgin's house..."

And the soldier asked Pauline.

"Hey, does' dining room 'mean you're selling food, too?

Soldiers around me heard that stopped moving and shut up.

Pauline answers with a smile in the midst of

"Of course, there is?

…………

"Hey, what do you got?

A soldier who asks with a trembling voice.

"Uh, the one with the rice cooking, the sturdy bread, the dried meat, the ingredients of the soup dissolved in hot water and the scum vegetables, or something.

All in one small gold coin. "

"" "". "" High. (Gasps) Yeah, yeah!!

And the drinks and the food, sold to fly.

The soldiers in the back relaxed because the front stopped, and the corporal with the blue muscles flew in from the rear, but when he knew why, he immediately began to divide me.

"Don't stop! Buy it now and keep moving forward! Why don't you give it to the one behind you! Besides, the Royal Army is approaching, if you're feeling better, move on!

Thanks to the corporal, it went pretty smoothly. Those who wish to do so are also provided with the service of putting them in water bottles rather than drinking them on the spot. Using a funnel is easy. After receiving the rice cooking and soup, eat around the tent in large circles, return the container and move on. It is an idea to avoid blocking the front of the sales floor. That's right, Corporal, wisdom turns. Of course, anyone with their own cup will be poured into it and continue straight down the street.

"Thank you, thanks to you, many soldiers can return home alive. Appreciate it.

Looks like it's time to run out of sales, so you better run before the Royal Army finds you. "

That's what the corporal told me, and when Pauline turned around, the barrels and crates that were piled there were almost empty.

"Ah. Please."

"" Roger!

In reply to Pauline, Lena and Mavis entered the tent and came out with a barrel and a crate.

"Huh..."

And again and again, Lena and Mavis go back and forth with the tent and the sales office, carrying out new barrels and crates, and bringing the emptied ones into the tent.

"It's okay, because we still have plenty of water and food.

As long as there are those who suffer from hunger and thirst, be it on the battlefield or at the bottom of hell, but if you call, immediately, ascend! That's us... "

Lena and Mavis rushed to Pauline's left and right to pose.

"" "Mobile dining room, Virgin House!!

This time, there is no color smoke or explosion sound.

And he curled (meshed) just a little at the entrance to the tent, staring at it with miles biting his teeth critically from inside.

Although I was wearing a mask at that time because I was witnessed by a lot of people, it was just a bad idea to show the soldiers their faces, miles that were dedicated to the purpose of caging them in the tent and getting replenishments out of the item box, but apparently, they wanted to do it themselves.

"Ooh..."

And beside Paulines, a pompous corporal stood up.
