"Long time no see, Ars. I'm home."
"It's been a long time, Leon. I'm glad you're back safely. Thank you for your time in the King's Land. It was a huge job for Fontana Territory."
"I'm glad you said that. You couldn't protect Carlos, and you've been exposed to shame."
"It's no shame. Without Leon, Fontana territory would have been very small. We have Fontana territory because Leon fought alone away from the realm. Thank you."
"No... thank you, Ars. Leon von Graham pledges to continue working in powder for the Fontana family."
"Nice to meet you. The deceased Carlos will be delighted. I hope you'll go and see Garrod-sama."
"Yeah, you're in Vulcania now, right?... and my sister was wearing it, too."
"That's right, Leon. It should be the expected date of delivery in a little while. If time permits, please take my child with you."
"Yes, please let me."
The council for the creation of the Fontana Charter, which continued after the celebration of the New Year, closed.
The Fontana Charter, which established new rules while clarifying the customs of the past, will continue to be discussed and improved in the Council and other forums.
But it also sandwiched the break time at the dawn of winter when the snow began to melt.
And shortly after that, Leon returned to Fontana's city.
Leon, who once left Fontana territory with Carlos on the King's escort, has been outside Fontana territory for a long time.
Being away from your own territory should have all sorts of risks.
Nevertheless, starting with the signing of the North-South alliance with House Resolute, he did various tasks such as making connections in the King's Land and the Percival family's bullets.
When it comes to who worked for Fontana the most in the last few years, it's definitely left Leon alone.
I have decided to increase Graham territory as a reward for Leon.
One of the reasons that Leon returned to Fontana was because of Liliana's pregnancy.
For Leon, whose parents have already left the world, the pregnancy and childbirth of her real sister, Liliana, will be a major event.
It was time to return to Fontana, so there was good news.
Start by welcoming the Rion to Fontana City as your principal agent.
Then we decided to go from the city of Fontana to Vulcania with our feet.
Walk while discussing the latest developments.
"Speaking of which, how's Leon's wife? You must have been married to a member of the Rizzolte family."
"Yes, that's right. Now my wife lives in a resort home."
I see. I'm sorry. Though for the North-South Alliance, Leon was to marry someone from such a distant land. "
"No, it's okay, Ars. Anyone can be tied to each other if necessary. It means living as a knight."
"... is that so? I think there are a lot of free people."
"I'm troubled if someone as free as Ars says so. However, if you are a knight, you will normally marry someone you've decided to marry, regardless of your will. This time I was just a friend of the Rizzolte family. I love my wife like a human being."
"Well, as soon as I met Lilina, the marriage story came to an end. It could be that way."
"That's what it looks like. Instead, Fontana's atmosphere has changed considerably. A lot of things changed while I was gone."
I see. While Leon was away from Fontana territory, he cut off the southern Carmus territory, built tracks, and the city of Fontana is new and under construction, both a castle and a church. I suppose a lot has changed. "
"That's not all. I've seen a lot of other lands. I think there are a lot of smiles in Fontana territory right now."
"Smile?
"Yes, in many other lands there were shadows on the faces of the people who lived there. Because you can't eat satisfactorily, and in addition, there's a long war going on. Many people are so tired that they despair of living."
"Despair is so terrible...."
"Well, that's why you think about fighting and getting food. That's what prolongs and keeps the war going. But Fontana territory is not. Many people escape from hunger and live a vibrant life. That's why smiles come out naturally."
"I see. Well, the harvest on the land is going up on the right shoulder. We cut taxes last year because of the earthquake, and there's enough food to lower the price of wheat."
"It's amazing that you're keeping the earthquake under control. It seems that some of the aristocracy under the influence of the Percival family could not stand because of the earthquake. Despite the influence of the Fontana family, I think what kept it to a minimum was the remarkable behavior of Mr. Ars, who moved immediately."
"Earthquakes are important for initial vibrations. I wrote in the Fontana Charter about the response to earthquakes and other disasters. Please check back later."
"The Fontana Charter is amazing. Normally, I don't create a writing that contains things that are restrictive to the noble side....."
"Well, at the same time as I am the principal, I am also the principal of the Balkan Knights. Well balanced, I think, the Fontana Charter. Here we are, Leon. This is the back."
Leon, who had spread the word by turning places around, eventually said something like a local that settled down on his assessment that the place was the best.
I think there are some good things about each of the other lands, but, as Leon says, Fontana territory is definitely better than the others.
And honestly, I'm glad you appreciate what I've done.
While listening to Leon, I came to a transfer room built in the basement of the city of Fontana.
In the room where I installed the Forwarder Stone that I remembered and reproduced in the Labyrinth, besides the Barca Knight, the Reed family's human beings used Protective Plants to secure the interior of the room.
Enter the transfer room with Leon and instruct him to move to the Vulcanian transfer room.
Transferring stones consume a great deal of magic, allowing them to move in an instant to another far away Transferring Stone.
And I decided to use it to jump to Vulcania with Leon.
Incidentally, it is impossible for Leon, who has never touched a transfer stone in Vulcania, to jump there.
But being by my side made it possible.
Rion touches the city of Fontana, transfers it to Vulcania once I have the stone, and then reinstalls the stone that Rion touched.
That's where Leon jumps.
Leon had already been subjected to Vulcan enhancement, and Leon had acquired the power of the current class.
As a result, Leon was able to move quickly to Vulcania.
Incidentally, the newly installed transfer stone was destroyed and rendered useless when Leon jumped into Vulcania.
"... somehow, it's as amazing as ever, Ars. I didn't think we were making anything like this."
"Convenient, isn't it? For now, I'm allowing the use of Forwarder Stones until I'm on the council, so if you want to use Leon, get permission to use it. Even so, I can't go to the King's Land or the Risolte."
"Is that really impossible? However, it's still too much."
That's right, even Leon, they seem surprised at this transfer stone.
After all, there is no such transfer device on other lands.
So I brought Leon back to Vulcania.
And it was precisely that day that Liliana gave birth to me and my child.
