Kuro no Senki (LN)

As Chrono changed into a sneaky tunic and left the mansion, Dwarf captain Goldie approached with armor.

"Oh, Master Chrono! The new armor... well, it's a prototype, but we've got it."

"Is this the armor of the Goldie idea?"

Chrono stared carefully at the armor he had received from Goldie.

Armor is a fantastic and classic breast plate.

The colour is rather thin compared to the lustrous black, heavy-duty cavalry armor.

There are many deep grooves running on the surface to increase strength.

"That's a new design."

"It's not just the way you look! That's different material! Iron is wrapped in charcoal to work out and heat treated during the molding process! This treatment dramatically increases iron hardness and toughness!

While Goldie jumped the bubble out of his mouth, he gave a strong theory about the iron method.

"Well, give me the endurance test." I'm done!

Huh? And when Chrono looked at the armor again, there was something that looked like an arrow or sword received.

"The attack by the sword was fine, and the bow could have been prevented from close range if it was conventional, but the arrows released with the mechanical bow penetrated..."

When Goldie drooped her head without force, another Dwarf carried armor full of holes into the back of the workshop.

"Well, the armor itself is superior just because the mechanical bow is bullshit, let's switch to this armor"

"Oh, thank you"

Gordie squeezed Chrono's hand in a way that felt like she said half the joy, half the mindless.

"You didn't have to thank me because you gave me results. Well, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you how awesome the armor was."

"No, thanks to Master Chrono, I've shaped my dreams since I was young."

Goldie wiped her tears,

"Master Chrono's forgiveness is out!

Whoa! And the Dwarves responded well.

"Which way will Master Chrono go?

"Also, you pissed Tilia off. Thought I'd hang around the city until it was almost cold. Oh, speaking of which, what about paper?

"We've got fifty new ones."

"I'll just get you ten. Then don't pack too many roots."

Krono received the Japanese paper and left the workshop behind.

Moving from the Marquis of Elakis residence to the commercial district, Chrono toured the fluttering outhouse.

When it comes to shops in the city of Hashel, dewstores are the main ones, surprisingly few items.

It seems that only a large chamber of commerce like the Pics Chamber of Commerce deals with a wide range of products.

"... I don't sell 'potatoes' or 'corn'"

Come to think of it, I haven't seen potatoes and corn since I came to this world.

"" Dear Chrono!

As Chrono walked over the dry fruit he bought at the dewstore, his twin elves...... Deneb and Aridead hugged him.

I can't tell which one is Deneb and Ali Dead.

"Is that it? We both..."

"Because I went on a bandit crusade yesterday!

"Master Chrono gave you a rest."

Say, Deneb and Aridead carried the dried fruit that Chrono had in his mouth.

"" Sweet!

"Would you like some?

When Chrono offered dried fruit, Deneb and Aridead cheeked without thanking him.

"... Leila's off, too, right?"

Chrono took out a crystal for communication, which stopped him.

"I wish I could call you"

"Leila must be tired, too, and suddenly it's a little bit of a call"

"I don't think so, though?

"Yes, yes! Suddenly he said it was okay to call him down and push him down!

"No, it's not a fucking thing."

Chrono said, the twin elves tilted their necks wonderfully.

"" Leila is Master Chrono's mistress, isn't she?

"Yeah, but you can't do that"

Deneb and Aridead looked at each other and frowned hard.

"" Why?

"Why, because I love you"

"" Is it love, that?

Asked in the face by Deneb and Aridead, Krono was anxious about his love, but convinced himself that it was absolutely different to push him down.

"I know it may not be the same love you and Leila seek, but I really want to take care of Leila. Okay, I'll hang out a little bit more."

"" Hey, Master Chrono?

Deneb and Aridead made sweet voices and hugged them into Chrono's arms.

He tangles his arms and presses his chest together.

"We're free."

"Yes, yes! I'm glad you're playing with us!

"It's not purely a game, if that's okay"

Yay! and Deneb and Aridead had a full grin.

Chrono takes a look around the dew shop as he samurai the two elves.

"Dear Chrono, buy that one"

"Dear Chrono, I want this one too"

Pulled over by the two of them, Chrono paid as he was told.

I was going to say no if they screwed with expensive items, but they are subtly costly to hit choosing cheap foods like roasted chicken feet, dried fruit, juice of fruit juice, etc.

My stomach is getting swollen, the two of us snapped less, and Chrono stopped in front of one of the dewstores.

"Chopped radishes?

There were several bunches of chopped radishes lined up there.

"No, it's a beat"

A woman sitting in a crate grinned and smiled at Chrono.

Are women in their mid-twenties or something?

The skin has healthy wheat color and dark brown hair cut together in a shoulder position.

I'm wearing a loose loess robe, but the thinness of my waist stands out because of my waist string.

Pooh and his eyes are happily loose, and when he looks at it like that, he can stir up guilt asexually.

"If you think of someone, you're a priest in the Loess Temple"

"Mr. Deneb?

"Boo! I'm Aridead, that's Deneb"

Deneb and Aridead hide in Chrono and rotate before returning to their original position.

"" Come on, which is Deneb, which is Aridead, right?

"This is Mr. Aridead?

"Boo! I said I'm Deneb!

Deneb shook his arms up and said as the woman pointed at her unconfidential.

"Master Chrono knows, doesn't he?"

The two left Krono again and went around on the spot with Guru.

"" Come on, which is Deneb, which is Aridead, right?

"You must be Aridead."

"Boo! I said I'm Deneb!

That? and Chrono put his arms together.

I just named myself a twin.

I don't think it would be wrong to simply turn around.

Chrono put his hands on the two heads, gently stroking his hair and squinting his pointy ears.

"Eh heh."

……

Those who named themselves Deneb laughed ticklishly, and those who did not, turned up to weep.

"It suits you because you're better off laughing, you're better off crying, Deneb."

""... Huh!

As Chrono pointed out, Deneb and Aridead opened their eyes to surprise.

Well, in short, they used the fact that they were twins and indistinguishable to throw up lies.

"Um, Master Chrono, are you mad?

"I'm not mad at you. But apologize to the clergyman."

Chrono laughed bitterly at Alidead, who tells the boss.

"I'm sorry."

"Yes, no, I'm the one who can't tell."

Chrono was honestly impressed when he saw the cleric telling him like he was in a panic.

Apparently, this guy is not prejudiced against the subhuman.

"This, is it a beat?

"This follows the teachings of the Mother God, who makes it loess and conducts abundance, which my father has spent decades on varietal improvement. This is dried to preserve, but it is very sweet and nutritious"

"Eh, but it's livestock feed."

"Yes, you don't have to sell that."

When I glanced at the tip of the beat, it was certainly sweet.

"Yeah, Master Chrono! That's livestock food!

"That's right! We're not eating humans, are we?

"Master Chrono?... Huh! also, sorry!

Buh! and the cleric flipped the robe and lay flat with tremendous momentum.

In the Kepheus Empire, it does not make sense that clerics are free from secular power.

At any rate, it is so much so that the first emperor made a thorough repression on Nobunaga.

"I'm not great enough to be flattened... eh, Cleric?

"And my name is Theon"

"Please sell this beat"

"Yes, it will be a piece of copper coin"

When Chrono offered him a piece of copper coin, Zion received it with both hands.

"You don't have to be so freaked out. Master Chrono's not a terrible person."

"Ho, is that true?

"Yeah, well, rumors are a lie."

"Rumors?

Deneb and Aridead pulled their faces together.

"The rumours of Master Chrono... make your eyebrows brilliant, manipulate unparalleled swordsmanship and magic, and easily mask the tenfold difference in force. The owner of the divine plot, his ship's eyes, are the eyes of God who discerns the bottom of his heart. Since Kane was one of us, he's the owner of a vessel that even makes bandits sick."

"Not one of them is true."

If I had even had one of those, my life would have changed.

"I heard someone from the Loess Temple is cooking it out, but that, you mean Mr. Theon?

"Ha, yes...... just soliciting donations is painful"

"But how about selling livestock bait to humans?

Ha, and Theon shook his body like a puppy struck by rain.

"Aridead. Mr. Theon is opening an outdoor shop to help the poor."

"If you're poor, you can work."

"That's right, you know, soldiering like us."

Chrono had no choice but to sigh on the values of the two.

"... Deneb, Aridead"

"" We're not wrong. ""

"Right. But even Mr. Theon wasn't wrong."

Krono knelt and squeezed Zion's hand.

I guess it's because my hands are so stiff that I don't think of myself as a girl that I do my strenuous work on a daily basis.

"Mr. Theon, I'll revive the Sanatorium in a while. I'm thinking a lot of other things, but I'm going to make this a priority... and I just want you to be a little more patient."

"Ku, Master Chrono"

Theon stared at Chrono with his moist eyes.

"Notice the color on the priest's ass."

"Interesting."

I look dissatisfied, but Deneb and Aridead don't try to get away from Chrono.

The fact that it is difficult to walk because I have the beat I just bought, it is not better.

"Maybe, Master Chrono... I'll give you the money so you can like your body or something?

"I won't."

Sighing, Chrono looked up at the building of the Pics Chamber of Commerce.

"" Should I stay here?

"I'm not gonna keep it a secret, it's okay"

Nicola walked over faster than anyone when Chrono was in the building with the two of them.

"Dear Chrono, on what business today?

"For once, are we talking business?

"Okay, here you go"

Encouraged by Nicola, Chrono moved to the back office.

"Ver! Come on, have some incense tea!

"Ha ha!

Dotadota and sound echoed, and Chrono laughed bitterly.

"Can I help you?

"Today... I'm here to sell this"

When Chrono offered a bunch of Japanese paper, Nicola took it with a serious face.

"What's this?

"It's a piece of paper I tested in our workshop."

"Can I try writing comfort?

When Chrono nodded, Nicola wrote a letter with a feather pen.

In the early days of development, Japanese paper was hooked by the tip of the pen, but the improved Japanese paper has cleared the problem.

"Ho, brilliant writing. Thin is the difficulty, but that won't be a problem if it's fixed to the board either"

"If you're Mr. Nicolas, how much would you sell it for?

"Since the market for parchment in the Kepheus Empire is three copper coins in one piece... I was wondering if one copper coin would be reasonable in the sense of opening up the market"

"So, how much will you take?

When Chrono asked, Nicola silenced with a greasy sweat on her forehead.

Probably because Nicolas is thinking about Chrono's face, not his rush.

"Sorry, the way I hear it now was cowardly. This one has a piece of paper for a piece of brass coin, and if you can buy a thousand pieces away, you won't be in deficit. But this is when I thought about it on a labor cost basis. If you switch raw materials from collection to cultivation… maybe the price will jump more than double"

"I brought you incense tea!

Bang! and Ver set aside a cup for four, leaving the office.

Nicola took the cup with her trembling hands.

"If it was the first amount Krono said, we would profit from just selling four pieces of gold and ten pieces of silver a day... why did Krono reveal the cost?

"If you don't explain it properly, I don't think Mr. Nicolas will be able to help us."

"... I see, Master Krono is a bad business"

"So I'm here,"

Nicola sipped off the incense tea in one breath and set aside the cup.

"For the time being, then, we will buy out paper made in Master Chrono's workshop with five pieces of brass coin. When you build a new workshop, can you say that you will set the price again?

"Okay, so."

Chrono wrote two consents to the same letter, giving one to Nicola.

Finish your business meeting with Nicola from the Pics Chamber of Commerce and have a light meal at a whorehouse run by Miles.

Unsurprisingly, Miles became a soothing dining landscape without showing any difficulty in the presence of Deneb and Aridead.

"Master Krono worked for you."

"Miles is a jerk, I don't like it"

"You're not much of a favorite type. I'm going back to the mansion, but you two..."

"" Take me home to bed ""

Chrono compares the beat to the two,

"Can you use the magic of manipulating cold air?

"We're elves, so we can use the whole system."

"Then let's go to the kitchen together"

Chrono accompanied the two of them to the Marquis Elakis residence.

Now you're an elf twin! Flushing through the gaze of the targeted ministerial corps, Krono stepped into the kitchen on the first floor of the Marquis Mansion.

The kitchen at the Marquis Elakis mansion is so large that the private house is likely to fit in.

There is a huge table there, lined with polished frying pans and pans on the shelves of the walls, and the fireplace is fitted with something like a stove.

"Oh, dear Krono... why are you here?"

"I was wondering if you could lend me the kitchen for a second, and you had eggs and milk, right?

"Yeah, that."

Chrono stuck a bunch of beet into the pan and poured water until it was soaked.

"What are you doing?

"A little experiment, I guess"

Hang the pan on fire and simmer.

"What are you going to do with the livestock food?

"I thought you could make sugar."

"" Sugar!

Deneb and Aridead peered into the pan from both sides of Chrono, with an obviously discouraged look on their face.

"Stand back because it's dangerous."

I wonder if I should boil it for an hour or so, and Chrono put a lid on the pan.

"Master Chrono knows everything."

"It's all the knowledge I've read or heard in a book,"

Chrono doesn't know how far that knowledge can go either.

After about an hour, Chrono separates the juice from the beet with a monkey and simmers the juice further.

Increased viscosity, slightly burnt odor.

"Master Chrono, aren't you burning?

"Fine, I've been drooling"

It's gotten pretty sugary, but it burns like this.

"How about a hot sauce?

"Hot sauce?"

When Chrono inquired, the general put a small amount of water in the new pan and hung it on fire.

"It means warming the container in a pan with hot water. I can't believe you don't even know that, after all, you're a boy. Come on, I'll do the rest."

The general moved the burnt broth into a smaller bowl and began 'hot frying'.

"You're getting a little rough."

The general scratched the broth with her calf and after a while it turned brown sugar.

The general picked brown sugar with her fingers,

"Yeah, this is unmistakable sugar"

"" Sugar!

Deneb and Aridead embarked on themselves and stuck their fingers in the pan.

"Hot! But sweet!

"Ko, this is the legendary sugar!

Speaking of which, was sugar also a precious commodity, Krono sheltered the sugar from the two of them.

"Master Chrono, are you going to be alone?

"Not yet, midpoint...... General, milk and eggs!

"Yes, sir."

Chrono placed sugar, milk and egg yolks in a new container in eye-catches and foamed them gently.

"" Ahhh, the sugar!

While holding the container, transfer the metal bowl from the wall shelf to the table,

"Both of you, freeze the bowl"

"" Good but... ice dancing (hard)!

Gigiri! and the air swept and the frost covered the surface of the bowl.

"Just in case, another shot"

""... Ice Dance (Tough)!

Chichi! and frost increases thickness and cold air flows.

Chrono held the frozen bowl aside and poured the contents of the container all at once.

"Cold!

When foamed abusively, the mixture of sugar, milk and egg yolks turned into a sorbet.

"Like this"

Chrono divided the sorbet into plates and offered it to Deneb, Aridead and the damsel, whose eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"Eat." "Yummy!

Faster than Chrono said, Deneb and Aridead were eating sorbets.

"That's delicious. I've never eaten anything so good."

The general broke her face like a child.

"What's your name?

"... ice cream"

Put aside a moment, Chrono replied.

"Chrono." You were here, Chrono!

When I saw the voice, Tilia pushed Leila away and came into the kitchen.

"Oh, I was just about to call you both."

Chrono divided the ice cream into plates and placed it on the table.

"What is this?"

"I'll have it."

Tilia and Layla ate ice cream at the same time,

""... Huh!

I stopped moving.

"This is... what, no, you can't be deluded with this stuff"

"It's cold, sweet, delicious"

Tilia was firmly fooled, Leila wept and carried ice cream into her mouth.

"Chrono, how did you make this?

"Secrets"

"Again, that!

When Chrono smiled, Tilia said dissatisfied.

"Will you promise not to get mad at me?

"Um, I swear in the name of the First Empress of the Kepheus Empire"

Tilia stretched her chest and nodded to Eagle Deep.

"First, simmer the juice picked from livestock feed in a pan"

"You fed me something like that!

Suddenly he stood up and Tilia screamed.

"... Ended because I broke my promise"

"Ugh, wait... uuuuuu"

Tilia roared like a rattle,

"... Wow, I don't eat livestock feed"

I said uncluttered looking at the ice cream.

"Chrono, come to my room after dinner"

"" The Empress, dare you ""

"... Huh!

As Deneb and Aridead browned, Tilia opened her eyes to her surprise.

"Chi, no! I'm trying to discuss the future!

"" How many children do you want?

"Chi, scatter! Elves! Huh, disrespect!

Teared up by the two of them, Tilia cried bright red in her face.

"" Dear Chrono, please follow me ~!

Holding a container with ice cream, Deneb and Aridead jumped out of the kitchen.

"... hey, what the hell, those twins. Wow, me and Chrono, this, this, this, this kid."

Tilia was blushing her cheeks in embarrassment as Chrono entered the office after the meal.

Occasionally, my mouth is sloppily loose...... why?

"I'm here."

"... Huh! Woohoo, woohoo."

Tilia coughed at first sight.

"What is this?

When Chrono placed the vial and the japanese paper, Tilia raised the vial strangely.

"It's sugar made from livestock feed. So, paper is an ice cream recipe"

"Sugar!

Tilia puts the sugar on the palm of her hand and licks it, of course.

"... it's really sugar. Although sugar should only be made in the South?

Tilia glanced at Chrono with a swordswallowing glance.

"Chrono, who are you? It's called a mechanical bow, it's called paper, so is this sugar! When I crusaded the Bandits, no, I should have known the first time I talked to you!

"To what?

Tilia grabbed Chrono's chest and slammed him on the desk.

"... you weren't even inferior. I'm only gonna ask you one more time, who are you? Where'd you come from? What did you dive into the Kepheus Empire for?

"What if I told you I'm from another world?

Chrono expected me to say that you were tired, but all the expressions disappeared from Tyria's face.

The white blade is brilliant.

Tilia pulled out a protective dagger.

Oh, shit!

Chrono resisted desperately, but Tilia waved down her dagger at once.

Damn! and the white blade stands in front of Chrono.

"Chrono, did you tell anyone the story now?

"Looks like they think it's Yotai, but in front of my men"

Huh, and Tilia sighed in a frightened sigh and let go of her hand from Chrono.

Krono woke up his body, shuddering his knees as he hung back.

"Chrono, don't you ever talk about this again"

"Shouldn't I ask why?

"... the first emperor of the Kepheus Empire was a brunette man from another world. Using knowledge from different worlds, the man swallowed the surrounding countries and built an empire in a generation"

Tilia scratched up her hair and said in a grumpy manner.

"Just like me?

"That's right!

"Why are you trying to kill me?

"You don't get it! You... can become a flag as the return of the first emperor. Besides, knowledge of other worlds could be poisonous to the empire today."

Tilia sat on the chair and leaned down to agony.

"Absolutely, all the more trouble"

"I'm not here because I like this world... Speaking of which, what happened to the first emperor?

"Normally you get a child pregnant, normally you're dead."

"Oh, I can normally have kids"

Chrono stroked his chest down, also forgetting that he was about to be killed.

"... No way"

Tilia held her body tight to be vigilant.

"If you're from another world, it doesn't mean you can have kids."

Tilia tilted her neck to say she didn't know why.

"What are we going to do?

"Tomorrow, I'm going back to Imperial Capital, but I'm going to leave about ten ministers who are good at clerical work. I want you to report your actions."

"Can I assume that I won't be restricted in my actions?

Phew, and Tilia sighed heavily.

"Do as you please. But don't betray me."

"I won't betray you."

"You are... really, stupid"

Tilia glared and narrowed her eyes, squealing small.

The next day,

"... Chrono, master."

"Tilia is the one who's fine."

After a brief greeting, Tilia boarded without being escorted into the luxurious carriage.

The number of carriages was more than ten and the cavalry of the escorts fifty...... the Tilia ministerial corps did not seem to spare a farewell to anyone.

Well, here it is...... same goes for Chrono's men.

The twenty ex-military maids could not be remnanted because they had been entrusted with their work while being beaten by the Tilia maids, and the other faces...... the hundred captains, Leila, the damsel and Elena had no contact themselves.

"Ku, if Chrono says anything, you can stay a little longer, right?

"Go home soon."

"Enough is enough, let it out!

When Chrono responded instantly, Tilia turned her face bright red and shouted.

Bye, and Chrono waved a small hand at the carriage that ran out.
