Kuro no Senki (LN)

Arthur Weisman was an assistant teacher at a military school.

The main job was to take care of the fallen students, and although it was quite a busy job, I wasn't so busy that I didn't have time to take a break.

It is a story of the past that I was a teacher assistant and not too busy.

Arthur is now the only person in Chrono's territory who makes teachers his business, and his days of teaching studies from morning to evening and preparing for classes go on until late at night.

Krono's request as an employer is to develop human resources, but it is a state of hand exploration in which he does not even know what talents are required for territorial management and how to develop them.

After his troubles, Arthur consolidated his policy of training officers through tactical education, intending to educate his deputies, Leila, Deneb, Aridead, Shilo, Hylo, Kane, the cavalry chief, and Faye, the cavalry members, to teach reading, writing and arithmetic to Tiga and Nasr, who were promoted later than they did.

By the way, Goldie, Dwarf's hundred captain, has attained a minimum level of academic achievement during his studies and was in the process of training his workshop work and his men as craftsmen, so he is off the subject of officer education.

The cadet education for the eight is going well, but as it is, they will be returning their holidays to work.

The reason is because I'm busy.

results as expected.

Try to teach five hundred and twenty soldiers to study on their own, and you'll know as stupid as this is going to be.

Of course, Arthur knew there was something he had to do, even if he did.

In the first place, the beginning of things was when one beast man was asked to teach him to study.

The beast man was an ancient senator who became Crono's men when the Holy Argo kingdom invaded beyond the coma forest last May......

Arthur was more surprised than impressed with his orientation.

No, you'd be more right to be confused than to say you were surprised.

When Arthur asked for instructions in confusion, he lightly allowed Chrono to teach him to study.

Can I have a friend with me? And he asked, so Arthur nodded without thinking deeply.

That was bad.

A friend called a friend, and at some point the number swelled to five hundred and a hundred.

They have seemed to have been looking at the opportunity to receive an education for a long time, but he says that it is difficult in a position to ask Chrono to teach them to study, and he also felt comfortable asking the Loess Temple cleric to do so.

I could also say no, but I was inspired by the appearance of an animal man dripping his tail without the force of cu ~ n.

And, Doctor, I saw them happily calling Arthur with my teacher, and I was determined to die following the flow as it was.

Arthur then bowed his head to the people to get ready for class.

Since the only day they can study as soldiers is the day off duty, they decided to do the morning and afternoon classes so that even those who were in charge of the night shift the day before could take classes.

From their point of view, it is only a half-day class once a week.

Next, Westa, an administrative apprentice, helped me print the textbook.

It was difficult to print for the number of people, so I decided to print and use 45 copies at a time, including the number of people taking classes and spare parts.

The textbook was easy to make because there was a version.

Momotaroo, Hanasaka or Grandpa, Katikachi Mountain, Monkey Crab Match...... according to Gordie, who kept the edition, it sounds like Chrono's creation, but why do the characters get strangely miserable eyes?

We prepared stones to remember sandboxes and numbers for practicing the letters… the interaction, the shape.

Looking back at such a tumultuous fortnight, Arthur entered the classroom...... one of the rooms in the Marquis Mansion.

That's the room where Chrono opens up as a classroom, with a long desk arranged in two rows horizontally and three rows vertically in the center, chairs, bookshelves.

Eight cadets are paid a feather pen and ink free of charge, which also allows them to take out books.

"... Doctor, it's late"

"I'm tired of waiting."

"I've had a little bit of trouble getting ready."

Arthur replied with a scratch of his head to the twin elves complaining about boo boo.

Their seats are in the second row on the side of the hallway.

"If you don't have enough hands, I'll help you?

"Yes, sir."

It was Layla and Faye sitting in the front row on the side of the hallway who made the honorary remark.

"No, you must be tired too."

It is a fact.

Being soldiers, they train, exercise, and coach recruits from morning to evening, and are educated officers at night.

"I wonder how far we talked yesterday?

"Thirty years ago, unrest converged" (Gaugau!

"Get rid of the Barbarians" (Gaw!

Shilo and Hylo, sitting in the front row at the window, bark as they looked at their desk.

The book is placed open on the desk.

This book is also a supply. The book named Notebook says nothing, and the candidate writes Arthur's prepared materials and classes.

The military school had no choice but to memorize the contents of the classes, but it is a unique idea in the territory of Chrono, where paper is a specialty.

"Oh, barbarians, barbarians. The barbarians who invaded the empire during the turmoil are matrilineal societies, and they have a different culture than the empire."

"Do you not believe in the Six-Pillar God?

"They believe in six-colored spirits."

It was Kane sitting at the rear of the window who answered Faye's question.

"They... they think there's spirits in the stone rolling around."

"You know very well. They also use a special magic trick called engraving."

What kind of magic is engraving? '(Bubba Bubba?

Deputy at the rear of the hallway side...... Minot said.

"Is it close to a tattoo? I don't usually see it, but when I use engraving, it brings up glowing patterns."

Glowing engravings...... The light stretching from the back tangled in two arms, a thick crotch, and as the barbarians rushed through, the six-colored light colored the battlefield.

It was as if it had torn apart the space itself, as if it were carving life into the world.

I thought it was beautiful.

Knowing it was the light that would give him death, Arthur was nevertheless struck in the chest by the sight.

"Different attributes can be manipulated depending on the color of the engraving technique. For example, red, fire, green, wind, and black can greatly enhance physical abilities."

"A barbarian, Mr. Krono's father drove him away to the Aleos Mountains, didn't he?

"Well, you could have kicked them out a lot."

"Sure, because they used different sorceries than the Empire, but they weren't many. Of course, not only is there a difference in strength, but it's also one of the reasons why food could only be secured through hunting and pillaging."

In the Kepheus Imperial Army, one soldier needs a thousand grams of wheat, fifty grams of meat, twelve grams of salt, and one horse needs five thousand grams of barley, four thousand grams of hay, and four thousand grams of straw per day.

The Kepheus Empire has not experienced wars that invade other countries in decades, so supplies tend to be lightened, but Arthur was telling the importance of supplies from his own experience.

"You don't have to fight. It's easy to eat."

"Oh, I thought I'd die of hunger until I got back to the Empire."

"When you're hungry, your temper shrivels... and you're so weak, you're encouraging everyone to the end."

Minot, Deneb and Aridead said smudged.

"It was horrible when you got turned into a heavy cavalry in the hills."

"You don't insult me, do you, horse?"

"... horses aren't the only ones who can't be insulted."

Faye pointed her lips dissatisfied.

"In fact, horse mobility is not insulting."

"Whoa! I mean, if we archers ride horses!

"While harnessing the horse's mobility, with a ranged attack, you're super invincible!

It's a childlike idea, Arthur said, staring at Deneb and Aridead.

But the idea of an archer with the mobility of a cavalry is interesting.

"But is it a good thing for a sub to ride a horse?

"Master Chrono would forgive me lightly, wouldn't he?

"There are too many horses."

The number of horses in the stables of the Marquis mansion is thirty, twenty-one belong to the cavalry, but the remaining nine are floating in space.

"Well, that's good. Honestly, I've been looking around a lot since I got more territory. Hooray for more people who can ride horses."

Kane agreed to Deneb and Aridead's proposal.

"Say hello to Master Arthur and Master Chrono!

"Dr. Arthur, I want to try to make him something called alcohol."

Then Minot also told Arthur.

"" Alcohol?

"With burning water made by Master Chrono."

That's what I want to do, this is what I want to do, but Arthur didn't pinch his mouth.

If you're into chatting, they're serious.

Rather, isn't it your role to make use of their ideas?

The next day, when Arthur cut up his lunch early and visited the office, Chrono was staring at the report-like paper with a seemingly difficult face.

"Chrono, what are you reading?

"... Silva's report. Thank you. They didn't get a good response from the residents to install the Silva 3D salt field."

That would happen, Arthur nodded.

Silva-style 3D salt fields are a great invention, but I guess the idea is too new for the inhabitants of Count Cado's territory to accept.

"When I fail, I think I'll compensate you... but they haven't made salt in Count Cado's territory before, so it's hard to draw a line on how many places are successful and how many are failures."

"Oh, that's a tough question."

From Arthur's point of view, Chrono has a sweet personality, but he doesn't seem sweet enough to promise compensation even though he doesn't have the numbers to judge success, failure.

"Then I wonder if I could leave it to the Lizardmans and Minotaurs who are engaged in harbor building first. Show me where you make salt in a Silva 3D salt field... I don't like this way of saying it, but if you know you're going to make money, you're going to tell the residents to cooperate from you too?

"After all, it takes time to spread the word."

Chrono told him to sigh and shifted his gaze from the report to Arthur.

"Where... what can I do for you?

"Actually, I'm trying to create a new kind of soldier while maintaining territorial security."

"Are you a new soldier?

Chrono opened his eyes to his surprise.

I have made detailed proposals before, but the new soldier species seemed out of my imagination.

"Deneb, it was you and Aridead's idea. Archers with horse mobility...... I'd call them bow cavalry, what do you think?

Arthur said, Chrono put his arms together to think.

"What about Kane?

"Kane, I have your approval."

"If he agrees, there's no reason for me to disagree."

Is it good that you've made such an easy decision? and Arthur couldn't hide his confusion at the speed of Chrono's decision.

"... and then, Minot, you want to make alcohol"

"Alcohol? Well, it's relatively easy to make wine or beer if you boil it in a distiller...... are you going to use it as a weapon?

Is there a verse that comes to mind, Chrono punctuated the words as he contemplated along the way.

"Yeah, that's no problem either"

The creation of a new soldier breed and refining of alcohol were allowed lightly, and to be honest, Arthur clapped out.

"The distiller is in Goldie's workshop, so use it with caution."

"Be careful."

Upon exiting the office, Arthur headed to a workshop in the garden of the Marquis Mansion.

Khan, the sound of a hammer called Khan.

"Lord Weissman. What can I do for you?

"Trying to get me a distiller to make alcohol."

"Whoa, that's a distiller! I'll bring it to you in a minute!

As soon as Goldie entered the workshop, she came back with a metal vessel.

"This is the distiller?

"Yes, you are."

Arthur put up the distiller he received from Goldie.

The teardrop-shaped distiller was fitted with box-like components at the tip from which the tube was stretched downwards.

"How can I use this?

"If you put booze in this and heat it up, the alcohol will come out of the tip of the tube."

Heat...... I mean, can't you use it indoors?

or so, I don't want to burn in the Marquis Mansion.

"It's a mobile phone."

"Oh, thank you for this"

It was followed by a barrel metal vessel.

However, some of the sides are cut so they are not fully cylindrical.

It's a frame.

"From what to what"

The last thing they gave me was a metal frame to support the distiller.

"Originally for extracting essential oils used to scent soap."

"Ha."

You're building weapons, protective equipment, farm tools, paper, printing machines and everything, Arthur left the workshop behind.

Arthur, who finished his afternoon class, was burning fire in the garden of the Marquis Mansion using portable bamboo.

Pour the liquor divided in the kitchen into the distiller and send the wind towards the portable liquor.

"It's easier to build camp positions with this mobile phone."

"" Ugh! Doctor, it's too early today!

The first to come was the sisters of Deneb and Aridead.

They are both painted to dust and smell slightly sweaty.

"May I take your place?

"Oh, please."

Instead of Layla painted with dirt and dust, Arthur stood up and gently twisted his hips.

"What are you doing with a teacher?

"Moonsight liquor?

"I was making alcohol."

Arthur rushed to take it in the cup when he saw the drops about to drip from the tip of the tube.

"Whoa! That's alcohol!

"You're gonna burn! I'll get you a fire!

When Deneb and Aridead took the cup, they brought the thin tree branches of fire closer together.

The blue light lit up and quickly disappeared.

"Ugh! Super beautiful!"

"It's amazing how the water burns!

Looking sideways at Deneb and Aridead, Arthur takes the alcohol dripping from the tube in a substitute cup.

"Sorry I'm late" (Bukuya ~)

Followed by Minot, Shilo, Hyiro, Faye and Kane, deputy officers.

"Well, I'm late."

"You don't have a choice. Officer education is important, too, but if you neglect your main position with that, you'll fall for it. You graduated from military school and you even got a jazz degree, so you don't study?

"I didn't enjoy my military school class so much."

As Kane scratched her head and argued, Faye pointed her lips as if she were obstinate.

"You got an officer education in military school, didn't you?

"Classes are different from what they are here. It's like a review of swordsmanship and equestrianism you were wearing. I feel like I've learned something about food consumption, but it's mainly about what nobility knows."

Faye proudly breasted.

"What do you know about nobility?

"On the battlefield nobility must fight bravely and bravely and remain on the battlefield until the end in honor!

"" It's a lie! It's a super lie!

As Faye said, Deneb and Aridead rode themselves out and shouted.

"Ugh, it's not a lie!

"In last year's battle, I was abandoned in Socco!

"He pushed my lord on the battlefield before me!

Mmm, and Faye was pushed to silence by the two swordscreens.

"Ku, Master Krono stayed."

"No, Master Chrono... right?

"Yeah, by saying exceptions"

Deneb and Aridead make gestures that move something sideways.

"I made alcohol."

"" I can light fire, fire, fire!

Split the alcohol in half, place one on the ground and give the other to one crack of the twin elves...... I can't tell if it's Deneb or Aridead......

Bringing the fire closer, the blue flame lights up.

Ohh! and all raised their exclamation.

"How do you convert to weapons?

"Well, you should light a fire with magic after you sprinkle it."

"Then why don't we just use magic without having to make alcohol?

Uh-huh, and the serious three roared looking down at the blue and white flames.

"Can you use it instead of lamp oil, this?

"Wouldn't it be nice to throw a light core at a kettle filled with alcohol?

Is the pot gonna crack? '(Bubba Bubba?

"But glass bottles are expensive"

"All we think about is using them as weapons" (Gaugau)

Shilo penetrated into the three people who ignored Kane's suggestion to advance the debate.

"... guh!

It was shortly after that that I heard a distressing voice.

Turning around, one of the twin elves was about to fall to the ground.

"... Gu, Ke, Ke Ha... of, my throat, I can burn!

"Hey, what are you doing!

Layla runs over to one of the twin elves clutching her throat.

"Ah, if you drink alcohol, suddenly you suffer!

"Of, have you drunk?

"Faye, it's divine art!

"God, it's a miracle of detoxification, please!

As Kane screamed, Faye laid hands on an elf to keep her throat down.

Gopo, zero black bubbles from the flat of the hands of Gopo and Fay, I can play.

"Hey, something, it's more poisonous that way!

"And you're rude!

"... something, my stomach's hot, my cheeks are hot"

Slowly one crack of the twin elves lay on the ground.

"Hey, it's not working!

"Ko, is this a novice poison!

"... I'm not going to die. The corner, I survived."

"Hold on, we're alone!

The twin elves held hands tightly together.

"... it was a life that wasn't even Loc, but it was like seeing Master Chrono and being saved a little bit?

with a transparent grin,

"I wonder if the rest of my heart could not be the named parents of the children of Master Chrono and Leila. It's two kids, how about Chlorella?

"What do you say? I don't care... I'd like you to name me a few more decent names"

"Why, you look healthy! Feel green like this!

An elf who was safe glared at Leila in tears.

"... when I die, complete my Chrono-sama's observation diary... my living proof"

"Arr, the title on the cover is a typo! Even the next generation will have a stupid name!

"Hey, replace the cover!

Oh-ung, Oh-ung, Shilo and Hylo barked at heaven.

"... Guys, what are you doing? Spring is cold on boulders at night. Ah, it's warm."

"Hey, what a mypace!

Chrono walked out of the Marquis Mansion and took the warmth with a portable bamboo.

"Ku, Master Chrono! Not if you're getting warm!

"Is Deneb going to do it in Ali Dead? Anyway, I drank too much alcohol! '(Bubba!

"I am suffering! I ask Master Chrono to intervene because he doesn't seem to die very well!

"Master Chrono's arms will only prolong his suffering!

Taking a total attack from the four, Krono turned his eyes round as surprised.

"Huh? You drank so much?

"Half a cup, Chrono."

Then you won't die.

"You can rest in time."

Instead of resting, Krono waved left and right to deny it.

"Alcohol is, in short... the intoxicating ingredient of alcohol, right? Well, if you drink too much, you'll die, but you won't die in half a cup."

Admiral, why don't you die? '(Bubba?

"I'm not dying. Why don't I try it?

You were relieved by Chrono's words, the air loosened all at once.

"Seriously, don't you want to die? I don't like it when it comes to tomorrow morning when you're poking around!

"So he said he wouldn't die."

However, the person who drank it was anxiously stuffed in chrono.

"Ali Dead is worrying."

"I could tell!

"Master Chrono, you're an insult!

The twin elves retreated like they touched hot objects.

"Where is the point of discernment? '(Bubba?

"It's Aridead who gets right on track, and Deneb who's just a little thoughtful. Is it Aridead who drinks alcohol? I just hung up on you."

When Minot asked, Chrono clapped his shoulders and said.

The next day the training of bow cavalry began.

Chosen as bow cavalry were Leila, Deneb, Aridead, Nasr...... and four other elves and half elves.

Kane is in charge of the development of the bow cavalry, while Faye leads the cavalry during his absence.

This is to prepare Faye for the increase in cavalry from now on.

After my first day of training, Leila, Deneb and Aridead looked dirtier than they did yesterday.

"Shit, my back hurts"

"Huh, the thick crotch"

……

Deneb and Aridead stuck to their desks and complained of their pain, and Leila is also a face that has no place to lose.

"How about alcohol?

"... I built a weapon based on Leila's opinion."

"Kettle Can't Crack" (K ~ N)

"We, the Fire Mill" (Cu ~ n)

Minotaur, Shilo and Hylo, who scorched their body hair, drooled their heads without force.

"It's going to take years before I can fight on a horse."

"But Layla was on board, wasn't she? Did Master Chrono teach you equestrianism personally?

"Because Master Chrono isn't very good at equestrianism," he said.

I wasn't good at equestrianism alone, swordsmanship, or witchcraft, but Arthur kept his silence thinking about Chrono's face.

"Don't you have to sit tight on your back?

"Think of bow cavalry tactics by then."

"Then I'm thinking about it."

Does it hurt, Deneb and Aridead stood up shaking with a pull.

"The secret to repeated guerrilla fights with Master Chrono and opening his eyes!

"Well, Mr. Krono thought about it."

Maybe it's Aridead with the high tension, and Deneb with the penetration.

"" Secret moves! Pretend you got away!

……

Despite the indoors, the frozen wind passed.

It is a very chrono-like measure.

"First, we will raid our enemies! Then the enemy will come after us!

"Fight appropriately and run!

"Run away, run away... Lead us to the ambush point!

"We're all going to attack!

"If the enemy turns back on the way, what are we going to do?

"" We've decided to turn back and shoot arrows into our defenseless backs, too!

As Kane penetrated, Deneb and Aridead said away as a matter of course.

Moving on or hell, going back or hell.

Again, it is a chrono-like measure.

"If you do this with a horse!

"It's like you can scratch the formation while damaging the enemy army!

"... it's kind of a cowardly way to fight"

As Faye shrugged, Deneb and Aridead looked at each other.

"You know, cowardice, I can't tell you to survive!

"Master Chrono won't be happy if we die!

Bashibashi! and Deneb and Aridead slapped the desk.

"Be prepared to die for Master Chrono!

"That does the math of survival! This is our loyalty!

Ohh! and everyone excepted Deneb and Alidead raised their exclamation and slapped their hands.

"No, if it's for Master Chrono, I'll die."

"It's like Master Krono got away with it in shock."

Speaking of chrono-like, it is a seemingly reactive reaction.

After class that day, when I got out of the classroom, Eryl stood.

"What can I do for you?

"... Marquis Elakis asked me to give him a message. Teacher Arthur Weisman will appear in the office after class."

When she finished, Eryl turned her back on Arthur just saying she was done for.

I guess this is why he calls me to the office at this hour, and Arthur hurried to the office with his cane poked.

As he knocked and entered the office, Chrono exhaled loudly and stared at Arthur.

"I'm sorry for your tiredness."

"I don't mind."

Huh and silence descend.

Crono took the letter out of his desk drawer when he thought about cutting it out of mine if it was hard to say.

"Actually... I was asked to take part in a barbarian crusade on the South Side."

"That's funny."

Orders are used to summon military personnel like Chrono, not recommendations that encourage voluntary action.

"Count Ernato sent me a letter... recommending me for a barbarian crusade."

I see, Arthur was convinced.

In order Count Ernato...... Taur recommended Chrono for the Barbarian Crusade, and the Chief of the Imperial Army could not refuse unhindered and would have taken the form of a recommendation.

Well, maybe the psychology is working that I don't want to order Chrono, who was devastated by the January war, to cause the rebellion of the new nobility.

"If you don't like it, why don't you just say no?

"I thought about that, too, because on the southern border is my father's territory, and I owe Count El Nato two great things."

Apparently, Chrono is going to follow his warnings.

"How many soldiers are you going to take?

"Uh-huh, that doesn't say how many people are coming. The other captain... He seems to be the son of Count Ernato, but I don't think it feels good to push too many people, so I'd like to be a few sharp here."

Late April 431 of the Imperial Calendar...... Krono was to go to the battlefield again.
