Kuro no Senki (LN)

Following a wound-like path carved into the meadow, the carriage was aiming for the 'Loess Temple'.

To carry Zion's baggage, who was to serve as Dean, as he reopened the Sanatorium.

Sometimes called outbound journeys, there's plenty of room for boarding, but it's a wagon.

The wheels were just wrapped in iron, and there was no such thing as suspension.

The shock of just getting up on a pebble strikes the carrier.

As Chrono watched the view in a fed up mood, Kane, who was next door, reluctantly slapped his fat crotch.

"That woman is staring, did you do something?

"... nothing"

Stealing a glimpse of Zion, she was staring at Chrono with a rugged eye.

When we met, my eyes were happily loose.

"I'm sure I'm a crocodile."

"Can't you see the firmness for it?

"Maybe he's wrapping an invisible tsu around his body."

He's a suicide bomber who thinks he's good enough to hurt his opponent and then even himself, Krono added.

"Ah, that's it. It's like the poor guy hit him in the neck when he splashed his money on the poor guy for taking advantage of the thief."

"No, that's it"

Stealing a glimpse of Zion, she was roaring with her knees.

"Emotionally, that's how much you might be doing."

"You're doing good, but you don't fit in circles in all directions."

"Right."

Looking up to heaven, Chrono sighed.

"It's time to see the 'Temple'"

As the carriage climbed through a gentle sloping hill, a huge rock was protruding from the ground about five hundred meters away.

Is it more a rock formation than a rock? It looks like some kind of cut broke the rock bed and pushed it straight out onto the ground.

The bedrock was more than twenty meters high, and the 'Temple of the Loess' was built to hide in its shadows.

"... not like the image"

"Chi, it's small, I'm sorry"

Chrono imagined a building like the Temple of Parthenon, but the "Loess Temple" was an old brick building.

From the top of the hill, it looks like you stacked the 'T' of the alphabet high.

All around the temple is a field, with lush leaves.

We stopped the carriage near the temple and Chrono looked up at the rock.

"I'm coming."

"Ha ~ i"

Encouraged by Zion, Chrono and Kane stepped into the temple.

Naturally it is rude to say...... but I was idle in the temple.

There is no chair for believers to sit on, just a small altar in the back.

"Something like a chapel"

As Chrono shrugged, Zion leaned his neck suspiciously.

"... this back is the cleric's living space"

"Sorry to interrupt ~ su"

Diving through the door next to the altar, three doors lined up across a short passage.

"No one"

"Were you cooking it out by yourself?

Scion pointed his lips dissatisfied and stared at Chrono.

You perceived the sinister air, and Kane broke in between Theon and Chrono.

"Master Chrono. The Temple of God has to pay in return, basically it won't do anything."

"No! Me and my dad are for everyone..."

As Kane glanced at him, Theon silenced as if his temper had been cut.

Though he has become a subordinate of Chrono, Kane is the man who has dived through the training grounds as a mercenary and bandit.

It may not be difficult for him to silence a daughter like Theon with only his gaze.

"The temple gives donations and for the first time, they do all sorts of things. Seriously is the only unexpected part of the donation. Place a junior cleric. Well, you don't have to build a relationship from scratch."

Cuckoo, and Kane leaked a gloomy sneak laugh.

"... I will carry my own baggage, so the two of you will please have the back room"

Fearing to become a snake, Theon entered his room.

"Is it also an unpleasant memory of the temple?

"Well, he was a bandit."

"... yes"

Chrono shrugged small.

Once, Kane said his parents were speared to death and his sister died on the way out, but it shouldn't actually be the kind of past that could be done with words.

"It used to be. Let's get this over with."

"Okay, I get it."

Kane slapped her shoulder as she cared, and Chrono nodded.

The room instructed by Theon seemed to be used as a storage unit.

Twenty sacks of chopped beet in hemp bags, sickles and scabies and other agricultural tools were placed, and the shelves lined with old books and dirty bags.

"Dare I carry a sack of hemp?

"I'll take care of that one, and Master Chrono will ask for something lighter."

Appreciating Kane's care, Chrono took the shelf trinket in his hand.

Originally, there was sometimes less stuff, and in a shorter time than expected, Chrono and Kane finished carrying their luggage to the carriage.

That's the same with Scion...... her luggage is about two bags and ten books.

"... what should I do with the beat?

"Oh, I'll let my men take care of the fields"

When Kane answered, Theon opened his eyes to surprise.

"Now is the time to do cavalry, but when I was a kid, me and my men used to plow the fields."

"You struggled, didn't you?"

"... so indescribable"

As Kane grinned, Theon joined hands as he was impressed.

It's an incredible success story about a cavalry from a peasant.

Chrono loaded his bags and boarded a narrower carrier.

With no trouble like this, the Chronos returned to the city of Hashel.

It was impressive when it came to Theon's glittering gaze at Kane.

It's hard for a girl to hate me, and Chrono held her knee in the corner of the carriage.

"Master Chrono. Hold your knees on the carrier. What's wrong?

"Yeah, it was a little dented"

The general called out to her, and Chrono raised his face.

Soon, he had arrived at the Sanctuary… a building previously used as a sanctuary….

I hadn't used it in years, so I asked the general and her friend to clean it.

The Sanitary Hospital is brick-built, with halls on the ground floor and rooms for staff upstairs, like the hospital where Chrono was hospitalized.

In order to save on building costs, or normally paint lacquer to make it look better, the bricks peel out of this building.

Relax and get out of the carriage, Chrono stepped into the abattoir.

A little late, Theon and Kane continue.

"Master Chrono is here, say hello!

"" "" Ha ~ I!

In response to the woman general's voice, four women who were cleaning the hall run over to Chrono.

The age is the same as that of a damsel or it looks a little up.

Well, I guess this is because the general is free to use Marquis Mansion equipment.

"... I need a favor, will you listen to me?

"First, if you just ask"

As Chrono stretched her guard line, the general sighed as if she were frightened.

"Why don't you hire these kids as employees of the Sanctuary?

"Uh-huh."

Chrono stared at the lady general's friend.

"I think there's going to be people who don't have the same pattern coming?

"You can't beat a man in the arm. So, oh... but yes."

The general pressed her rich breasts against Chrono and whispered sweetly.

"Guys, can you read and write?

"Yeah, if it's about reading, writing and simple calculations"

Is it worth hiring even if you don't have strong arms or just have minimal academic skills?

"I'll hire you. I just don't want Mr. Scion to be alone, so I'd like at least one of you to be in a sanitarium."

"Nice, you guys? When you figure it out, get back to cleaning!

"" "" Yes!

The four of them went back to cleaning again.

More like commanders and soldiers than friends.

"Do women have military experience or something?

"I wouldn't do that."

Karakara and the general laughed.

"Hmm?"

When I felt my gaze and turned around, Theon was looking at Chrono with a rugged eye.

"What, are you staring at Master Chrono with horror?

"Ahhh!

The general chopped Zion's forehead without reading the air.

"... I was so easily determined to be Zului"

"That's what a lord is!

The general chopped Zion's forehead again and put her arms together great.

"It might be easy to see from the side, but look at this wound!

The general headlocked Chrono and pointed the wound to Zion in her right eye.

"Master Chrono is defending his territory by putting up his body!

"Even me and my father worked hard for everyone!

"... who are you calling 'everyone'?

"Rural people, poor people."

"Ha, don't make me laugh."

The general laughed with her nose to make a fool of herself after taking Zion's serious eyes head-on.

"When you say" everyone, "you mean you. 'Cause, right? If you've worked hard for the peasants and the poor, you can't stop staring at Master Krono for doing things you can't do."

"Admiral, Maz...... GOOD!

The general put her strength into her arms and sealed Chrono's words.

"You work hard for you, and you're just stubborn because it didn't pay off."

"Wow, my dad made beet varietal improvements... and he said he could pick sugar from that beet"

"I acknowledge your father's accomplishments. But it was Chrono-like that made sugar from beet. Your father didn't know he could pick sugar from beet, so why did he do something to improve the beet variety?

The general relentlessly takes the escape route from Zion.

"... well, it's for 'everyone'"

"Instead of doing that, teaching tunnels how to grow new crops or spreading new farming methods is better for 'everyone', right?

Totally crushed the escape route, Theon gasped pale in his face.

"Even your father used to make beet breed improvements for himself."

"And my father, my father... Huh!

Zion jumped out of the sanctuary without being able to say anything.

"Hey, hey, lady general"

"Did I say too much?

The headlock was unlocked and the general scratched her cheek at first sight.

"That's too much. Instead of trying so hard, I'm denying it to my purpose."

"But if you don't say that much, Master Chrono is hard to do, and my friends are hard to work with, right?

"Sure, you are"

When the general said, Kane agreed as she stroked her inert beard.

"... to Kane"

"If it's enough to bite a patron because of personal circumstances, you're talking about turning it down from the start, right? Whether it's a sanitary home or a beet growing, there's no reason it has to be that woman."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

"If we steal a beet like that, we'll be able to grow it ourselves, and if we put money in the Loess Temple, we'll have a cooperative guy dispatched, I suppose?

Kane is dry even though all that was favored by Scion.

"From here on out, it's up to Master Chrono to decide."

"Oh, if it's Master Krono's decision, I won't complain."

The general and Kane laughed mean.

Exhaled deeply, Chrono followed Zion.

"Oh, I'm already healthy for a cleric!

Once, Krono blurred as he ran down the road to the 'Loess Temple' where he went back and forth.

My men reported me out of Hashel's city, bracketing high that if I ran, I would be able to catch up, but whether I ran or not, I don't see Theon.

I should have gotten on the horse, when Chrono started to regret it in earnest, I saw a Scion like figure.

You were taken by the mud, the Scion-like shadow fell and didn't try to get up.

"Mr. Theon?

……

When he finally caught up, Chrono called out to Scion, who had stuck himself on the ground.

You fell many times, Zion's robe was painted on the mud.

"... Ugg"

Theon roared to soothe, waking his body with his trembling hands.

As he sloppily sipped his nose, Zion began to walk in uncertain footsteps... and fell with his feet taken by a mud within ten steps.

My hands, my legs, my face are muddy.

"... hih, higu"

Theon woke up his body and began to cry like a child.

"A child, you are."

He didn't have a handkerchief, so Chrono wiped Zion's face with his clothes sleeves.

"Duh, duh, not for everyone, can't you?

"Didn't you just not like to chant like a title for 'Everybody'? I don't know because I'm not a general."

Heh, heh, heh. Scion coughed.

"Oh, you fought for 'everyone', didn't you?

"... I'm going to stay on the battlefield for my men, but maybe in the end it's for me"

Chrono glanced at the wound to his right eye with his finger.

Eliminate elements such as positions and situations and you will come to the conclusion that you have no body or lid because you did not like it.

Whether you're investing in a workshop or mass-producing Japanese paper, agrarian reform is in Chrono's interest.

"Because I falsified my heart, did 'Mother God, who makes loess and conducts abundance' take divine authority from me?

"I don't know how God feels."

Right, and Scion leaned down like he had been beaten down.

"... me, it sucks. Make me angry with someone who excuses, obstinates, spreads, doesn't become anything, even gets rid of the divine art, corners, even helped me clean. If there's a hole, I want to bury it."

What to do with burying, Chrono stuck in his mind, but it is a depressing addition and subtraction that is going to really bury him.

"Mr. Scion."

"Hih!

Shizuka Krono slapped him on both shoulders, and Zion looked up as surprised.

"I'm sure Mr. Zion is in a fight with God right now. Otherwise, God gave me time to calm down. That's how it's decided."

"Oh, you know, I just need to know how God feels"

"If Mr. Theon could look firmly at his feelings and make up with God, even divine authority would be available..."

Pong open his mouth, Theon stared at Chrono.

"Don't you dare, just think so. Even if you can't use kamikaze... I have a job I'd like to ask Mr. Theon to do."

"For example, what happened?

"I want the Dean of the Poverty Salvation Home to teach me how to cook for people who don't want to go into the Home Salvation Home, to teach them how to study, to teach my people how to study... and I want to do something like professional good offices, so I'd like to make a compromise with each side!

Chrono stood up and reached out to Zion.

"... people are rough"

Saying blurry, Theon shook Chrono's hand back.

A week later, Chrono looked up at the lacquered abattoir with Zion.

Since then, Theon worked so hard as a lie that he was complaining, he came up with the idea of partitioning the halls with boards so residents could have their own space.

"Finally."

"I'm a little nervous, but I won't hesitate to help the staff or Master Chrono at that time."

Theon grinned softly.

He's been able to handle his emotions well this past week.

No, I'm just glad to see the results only for what I've tried,

"Dean, I'm going to start accepting residents!

"Oh, I'll be there in a minute!

Called by officials, Theon stared at Chrono with regret.

"You don't have to worry about me."

"Yes!"

Chrono stared at Zion's back and smiled small.
