Kuro no Senki (LN)

Huh, and someone voiced behind my back and made a stretch.

We know who did the absenteeism.

Cavalry morning is early.

You have to move out early in the morning to guard the streets with a limited number of people, and if you try to look around to the edge of the territory, that will only take a few days, so the detention time will be longer.

I'm not going to work with you or let you, but if you're blinding yourself to one trivial thing, your people are unmotivated.

I said, if you don't pay attention, you'll lose your nervousness.

The point is a matter of degree.

It seems to me that Captain Kane was very good at adding and subtracting around here.

"Ah, the work of a bow cavalry is a lot!

"What do you care about us?"

Looking behind me over my shoulder, it was like Deneb and Aridead said exhausted...... I haven't actually worked that long...... so I was leaning on my body.

The nine remaining men don't look very tired.

However, it should be assumed that the fact that they complain of fatigue is accumulating fatigue in a small number of other subordinates.

"You have no choice. It's a break in the village ahead."

"" Roger!

I guess it's because he doesn't have as much of a nasty personality as words and deeds, even though he replies well but doesn't disturb the line.

The village that arrived some time later was… a village where Captain Kane had previously been taken care of.

The villagers are favorable and even have chairs and tables for breaks.

As he stepped down from his horse and lowered his back to Iss, Deneb and Aridead were galloping their firm bread.

When was the solid-bread adopted as a portable food… it is like bread.

"Speaking of which... fewer merchants come from the streets to the east"

"Leila says... because of the harbor or something"

Deneb and Aridead said in an easy-going tone as they chewed up Baki, Baki, Gallic and Fixed Bread.

"How could you take the west street?"

"Don't you look around focused?

"Because security is not the only purpose."

Faye just said with a little chest strain.

"" What do you mean?

"We do our job properly, so if we lick it, we smash it."

"" I see ""

Do you understand or not, Deneb and Aridead nodded.

It's not until Faye realizes what security means that he's made a mistake, so I can't say what looks great, but anyway, security is maintained by authentic efforts.

"It's time to get back to work."

"Ahhh, a little more!

"Look, I haven't finished my sturdy bread!

The wooden sword is swung down.

After a day of work, educated as a cadet, fatigue accumulates at a level that cannot be ignored, but Faye flaunts the wooden sword with sufficient leeway.

Stand back and you will be easily pursued, but if you flank them, the opponent will not move on to the next attack immediately.

Because you have to change the direction of your body.

Most importantly, it is easy for Faye to jump to a position where he will not be pursued if he is serious, or to fight back before his opponent turns his body.

There is so much difference in strength between Fay and Chrono.

Only a few moments passed for Fay to unleash a special blow, and Chrono finally unleashed a cross giraffe blow.

My upper body swims.

Chrono also accumulates fatigue so that Fay is exhausted after a day of work.

Chrono is weak.

First of all, I don't have the strength.

The next thing I know, there's no technology.

At the end of the day, I'm not talented.

It seems like it would be a good idea to give up, but it doesn't.

Step back and shove the wooden sword, you took a good opportunity or Chrono sticks it in from your shoulder.

Hilarious and foot twitching alone strike the body of Chrono.

Chrono turned around and a mild impact hit Faye's arm.

Chrono threw a wooden sword as he turned around.

"... Huh!

However, it was Chrono who opened his eyes to surprise.

Because Faye played Chrono's wooden sword with his own.

Chrono bends his knees gently and now sets up a hitting from a low position.

Fate is a short wooden sword given to the belt.

You have to be careful when fighting Chrono is where you flat out do what you would normally not do.

The same goes for throwing wooden swords, and for hiding short wooden swords.

Honestly, I don't know about being a cheater, but only this attitude should be apprenticed.

Faye gently shook the wooden sword down to Chrono.

The wooden sword struck down his arm brilliantly, and Chrono dropped a short wooden sword.

"It's my win"

While pointing the tip of the wooden sword, prompt Chrono to admit defeat.

Don't be alarmed.

Because if I had been caught off guard before, Chrono would have beaten me up.

"... surrender"

"Is that true?

With his hands up, Chrono spins on the spot.

It shows you don't have a weapon.

"Surrender."

Now it's time for Faye to de-alert.

"After all, can't you win"

"It's troubling that you don't get any compliments. Strongly put..."

Faye punctuated the words,

"… it's great not to fail to train in swordsmanship"

"It's been a long time."

Chrono drank the water he had prepared without looking offended.

"It's September."

"It's too early for the moon."

Chrono looks up to heaven.

"... seawater bath, you wanted to go"

"It's a water drill."

"No, not water practice...... put on a light costume, hang out with water, lie on the beach, dazzle"

Apparently, what Chrono calls a sea bath is a lewd, decadent, unproductive holding.

"Well, I can't help it."

"I have no choice."

Chrono wiped his sweat and stared at Faye.

"You scratched your sweat."

"That's right. I'm ready to take a hot bath, so it's good to have a day of sweating."

Chrono shook his head.

"Excuse me. I scratched my sweat"

"The hot tub is ready."

Chrono grabbed Faye's shoulder,

"I sweated, scratched,"

"... is that a reminder that you want me to sweat?

Chrono laughed.

It was a full smile.

Faye bathed in the water with Chrono for maximum fatigue, and even though fatigue shook through the limits in the night games, he got his morning in a clear mood.

"... you're in a complicated mood"

"I'm desperate to work, but I don't want to sip incense tea."

When Faye sipped incense tea, Elena said in a grumpy manner.

"What are you doing?

"Prepare under the income report."

Elena stared at a bunch of paper piled up like a mountain and told her to throw it away.

"Expenditure is about three and a half times higher thanks to the variety of things he does"

"Well, did you use it that much?

Faye turned her surprise not much voice upside down.

If you ask me, I feel like there was a lot going on with the construction of the new barracks, the old barracks, the repair of the castle fortifications, the war, the construction of the harbour, etc.

"You don't have to look like that because you're making more money too"

"I hope you're not surprised."

I'm sure Elena would say it, Faye stroked her chest down.

"If you want to earn more, you want more cavalry. And then I'm glad you're just a little bit more focused on rebuilding the Mullifine family."

"Cash. I don't hate it, but that's the place."

I wonder if I can do it myself, Faye thinks.

"That said, last night was the order of the fays, right? How do you feel about the memorial coming true?

……

Memorial, it's certainly a memorial, Faye recalls last night.

"In the night games… for some reason, I remember when I kept failing."

"Oh."

Elena struck a relationship with a subtle look like she knew and didn't.

Back then, I thought I could do it well.

"When you went to the Imperial City, you were beaten up by bandits trying to appeal to the decadent."

"Yes, sir."

I opened the lid and it was a series of failures. I mean, seriously, I was just pulling my legs, and the force that was the last fort wasn't as much as I thought it was.

Even night games...... I'm just closing my eyes and sticking to Chrono.

I can't afford to entertain Chrono like Elena.

"It didn't work out like Lord Elena."

"I'm not as good as Faye thinks I am. I didn't have any practical experience."

Oh, you're not talking about night games, and Faye blushes at herself for tying anything to that.

I think Elena is amazing, even outside of Night Game.

While everything is taken away and sold as slaves, it is worthy of respect that you are in your present position.

When I was seventeen or eight, I feel like Faye can't have mane like Elena or Chrono.

Mmm, and Faye stuck out his lower lip and stared at his flat hand.

The skin of my hand is thick, and my joints give me joints. I stand.

This hand is Faye's pride.

But...

"... my hands are similar."

"Can you read your mind?

"He who can't read your mind has no insight."

Tapping lightly, Elena raises her hand to the chest position to show Fay the ink stain.

"After all, regret doesn't stand first. I tried to think about it even now, but it was no use. I couldn't master witchcraft without it."

For what? I don't ask. Because I know Elena's family was murdered, and I could easily imagine trying to gain the strength to fight to avenge her.

"I'm telling you, you didn't give up, did you? I decided to take revenge my way."

Faye drank the incense tea and took a seat.

Out of Elena's working room, the Marquis Mansion was killing itself in Russia.

for overwork associated with paying taxes rather than to say….

When you can't afford it, people get rough.

The cavalry is also busy, but the burden has diminished since the birth of the bow cavalry, a new soldier.

The increase in the number of people is one of the reasons, but the primary reason is that the range of enemies has been extended thanks to the excellent vision and hearing of the elves and half the elves.

When I go outside the mansion, the sound of Khan, Khan and Hammer is ringing.

Faye moves to his usual place with the dwarf of the workshop he seems to be busy on the side.

Master, it's too late.

"We were talking to each other."

Phew, and the disciple nodded uninterested and resumed his bareback.

Faye lowers his back to the crate that was nearby and confirms the movement of his apprentice.

Fey weighs in on the mould archery, although he may be a mess or a handyman.

Because I believe that it is only by acquiring a proper foundation.

It is time to make the equestrian archery, but not enough horses.

Is it better to get used to the serious weight first, Faye strokes his patterned head.

It was when Faye rose that the carriage entered the Marquis' residence.

The carriage is the kind of boxcarriage that Chrono uses to go away. For some reason, I have only twenty horses with me.

It was Cecily who came down like a deep-window warrant from the carriage...... Cecily Hamal.

Not in military uniform, but in a dress like you would wear when attending a ball.

The colour is white, the chest area opens, even the stuffing (pat), or is it more voluminous in the chest than Faye remembers.

I guess the hair is all the way up to the waist, not because it's stretched out, but because it's wearing a wig.

"Master, do you know him?

"I was a colleague when I was in the Kingsguard Knights."

Haven't you noticed, Cecily accompanies her squire to the Marquis Mansion without even looking at Faye.

"It's better not to get too close."

"If you don't tell me, I'm not getting anywhere near the first nobleman I see."

When we first met, Faye stared at his disciple.

"Oh, it's easier to stay away from noblemen like that."

"I wasn't noble, was I?

The disciple looked up at Faye and put his arms around him as he conceived.

"Well... but that's not what I'm trying to say. Well, nobles don't look at us as humans, they look at us like wild dogs, bugs, raw garbage."

Yeah, yeah, and the disciple nodded many times to say he was able to describe it well.

"I'm not just a nobleman, but I'm afraid that's unforgiving. Wild dogs may be resistant, but you don't think it's a bad idea to kill bugs or clean up raw trash, do you? Rather, hey, feels like you're doing good? They're better off trying to buy us."

His disciple threw up and Faye felt his face tense.

I thought they were alive and well.

But if you think about it, you'll see.

Abandoned children.

If the three of us worked together, we might have managed to eat it.

But what if someone gets sick?

What if working doesn't secure food?

"... Master, it's not beautiful to live."

"Does Master Chrono know?

The apprentice sighed heavily.

"I think he heard it from someone."

"... Huh!

Faye got stuck in words.

While I pride myself on the fact that the young man and I say lay good governance for the people, I even learned to be angry at myself for facing my master without trying to know anything.

For his disciples, swordsmanship was not just a means to become, but a way to protect himself from irrationality.

I guess that's why the disciple followed Faye and continued his swordsmanship training to protect the other two as well.

Regret does not stand first.

No, even if I had noticed, I must not have been able to give up the rebirth of the Mullifine family and decide to raise the three orphans or anything.

"... Master"

The disciple looked up at Faye as if he were oblivious.

"Tony. All I've been and will be able to do is teach you how to fight. It's up to Tony to defend himself with that technology or to beat someone weaker than him."

"I remember my name."

"Is that where the surprise is!

Apprentice...... Tony said with his eyes round as surprised, so Faye penetrated.

"You remember about the name of your apprentice. The other apprentice is Matthew, and the girl is Sophie."

Faye coughs.

"I'd be happy if the technology I teach brightens up Tony's future."

"Master"

The moment Tony's eyes seemed to shed zero tears, the mansion's doors opened with momentum that had just not been blown away.

Cecily was furious and stomped roughly on the ground in the dew, and she was hysterically aroused.

"... it's ruined"

I know you haven't noticed, but Cecily approaches Faye with a provocative grin.

You perceived the danger, Tony hid behind Faye.

"Mr. Faye, it's been a while."

"What happened to your job at the South Side?

"I quit."

Turning away from Puy, Cecily pointed her lips like a child.

"Stuck in a mountain fort is a job I don't deserve. Besides, I'm not kidding."

"... is that so"

I had some thoughts, but Faye nodded before deciding to move in search of better treatment.

"What is it like today?

Master, and Tony pulled Faye's clothes.

"My brother asked me to greet the Marquis Elakis."

"Lord Brad?

Unexpectedly, Faye raised her voice.

Cecily's brother...... Viscount Brad Hamal is the head of the Fifth Kingsguard Knights.

It's known for its moderate character, but I don't see any contact with Chrono.

"Even though it's all famous, I joined the Kingsguard Knights. This is the best you can do to help build your strength."

"So, is there"

Nodding, Faye was perplexed by the rumors and the fallout in reality.

No, because I'm going through Cecily, maybe he really cares just because there's a fallout, Faye recapitulates.

"Corner, aren't you making a fool of yourself to be away even though your brother cared about you?

"Master Krono is busy"

Cecily narrowed her eyes uncomfortably, Faye said.

You're a new nobleman, aren't you?

……

Apparently, Cecily was convinced by the reasoning that Chrono was not speaking out of common sense because he was a new nobleman... a maker.

"I'll come back tomorrow. Then why don't you take care of the horse?

He seems to be asking for it, and it is natural to take care of the horse, or an order to take care of the horse.

All right, sir.

Faye nodded after worrying about what to do.

I'm here to greet you, so you should welcome me as a guest, and now that I don't know what Viscount Brad Hamal's intentions are, I've decided I shouldn't be buying you an unhappiness.

I understand, but it's impossible for Faye and Tony to take care of twenty horses.

Matthew and Sophie, cleaning the empty horse house and laying straw with the help of Silva, who has not returned to the Marquis territory of Elakis in a long time.

Of course, that's not the end of it.

After moving the horse to the horse house, we also had to arrange for water and water.

"... the holidays are over."

"I shouldn't have ignored what that woman said. Because you are now one of Master Chrono's men."

Saying watching the sunset, Silva said as if she was frightened.

"I am a customer of Mr. Chrono. Don't get in the way."

"Well, I don't feel like bothering Master Chrono."

Silva poked the fork to the ground and said with a flashing face.

I don't feel like bothering Chrono, but I guess I don't like working for Cecily.

Master, we're going back to the sanitarium.

Tony left the Marquis Mansion with Matthew and Sophie.

"You bought those kids clothes?

"It's an investment for the future."

In five more years, Tony will be a fine young man, and Matthew and Sophie will grow up fine.

"... you're good kids"

"I am proud, my disciples"

The next day, Cecily seemed angry.

It is an impossible story.

Everyone gets angry if they wait in the reception room until evening.

It must be frustrating even if you're not angry.

And Cecily is an old nobleman.

In the old aristocratic sense, Chrono is a riser.

Cecily's frustration probably stems not only from being awaited, but also from the awareness that the new nobility of the maker is scorning himself, the historic old nobility.

Family...... History and descent are also important among the former nobles.

However, it depends on the environment in which you grew up and the style of home.

It's going to be slaughtered now, and Faye thought at the same time he was going into the reception room.

"Master Chrono is here for you."

"Isn't it nice to have a word of apology?

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Master Krono said."

Cecily's expression adds to the risk.

"I'd like you to come to the office."

Fay leads Cecily and leads her to Chrono's office.

"Master Chrono, I have brought Lord Cecily."

"... Huh!

When the door opens, Cecily stiffens only for a moment.

Cecily stepped into the office as she managed to contain the upset.

Faye also enters the room and waits by the door.

I can't help but be surprised at Cecily.

There was another Crono in the office... Empress Tilia.

Even though we have lost the right to inherit the throne, no nobleman has more character than Empress Tilia.

And that's where Crono and the Empress Tilia stand.

It is Chrono sitting in the chair in the office, with Empress Tilia standing beside her.

It is an irrefutable sight to say to Faye as usual.

But how about Cecily?

The Empress of Tilia, with the highest stature of the Empire, has set up a chrono under some circumstances.

It should look that way.

Next...... why is Princess Tilia setting up a chrono that is just a builder? You should think about it.

The answer to this question is immediately derived.

Harbor.

The completion of the port generates enormous profits.

So far I can think of Cecily's brother...... it also explains why Viscount Brad Hamal gave twenty horses to Chrono.

No, it explains it.

"... I asked to say hello in my brother's name."

"Yeah, I'm listening."

Chrono deposited his body on the back of the chair and put his hands together over his belly.

Cecily is pale.

It is also logical to become pale if you realize that your role was not in a good mood.

What do you think, actually? And Faye thinks.

It is true that the number of merchants coming from the Viscount Hamar territory is decreasing, but the port of Count Khad territory...... the port of Silva has just opened.

Even if Cecily was mistaken, I don't see the need for Viscount Brad Hamal to snap into Chrono at the moment.

Instead, it seems like we could have a reciprocal relationship at this time.

"From now on, well, you want to get along with a lot of things. Back in the day, let the water flow."

"Oh, yeah."

"... Chrono"

It was the Empress of Tilia who watered her.

"Why do you have to get along?

Well, I got a horse, too.

When Empress Tilia asked in wonder, Chrono clouded his words.

Princess Tilia deviated from the throne as she thought,

"You do have to get along with twenty horses. But how close are we to twenty horses?

For example, and Empress Tilia sees Cecily. I didn't look at it, I didn't look at it, I saw it as a behavior after I missed it.

"For example. Isn't it too cheap as a price to have twenty horses as a bond for something like an alliance?

"Tilia, you don't have to do the kind of mane you see at your feet like that"

Empress Tilia points her lips in dissatisfaction.

"Nothing, I'm not looking at my feet. I'm saying we need the right price to have a reciprocal relationship. If you think you can have a reciprocal relationship with twenty horses, you just think you're being ridiculed."

Chrono pokes his cheek wand and slaps his right cheek with his index finger as he envisions.

"I wonder what Viscount Hamal thinks?

"... Huh!

You didn't think I'd be told the story here, Cecily was breathtaking.

Only Cecily is proxy for Viscount Brad Hamal.

In view of the fact that he did not grasp the purpose correctly, Viscount Brad Hamal should assume that Cecily came to greet him as he put it.

I don't know what your brother thinks.

"Really? Well, now I'm glad you're here after you've boiled down some more stories"

It's not a child's use, and Chrono doesn't go in.

"I don't feel so good, so excuse me."

"Faye, send him"

"Fine."

Cecily quickly left the office.

Confirming that the signs would turn away, Faye stared at Crono and Empress Tilia.

Ah, and Chrono stuck to his desk.

"She's short minded and she doesn't like it."

"So did you call the Empress Tilia?

"Oh, that's the character, so think you're weak on authority"

It did turn out just like Chrono thought.

"Is that what you call a meeting?

"I didn't do that."

Empress Tilia leaned against her desk and put her arms together to emphasize her abundant breasts.

"I just said what I thought. Aside from the alliance thing, twenty horses is cheap if you're gonna do something for Chrono."

"If you just came to say hello, there's enough change to come"

Empress Tilia sighed as if she were frightened.

"If I give you a word over there, you might end up with twenty horses."

"... I see it's a rush"

Yes, the Empress Tilia nodded satisfactorily.

I don't think if all this driving is always played out.

"I wonder what Viscount Hamal thinks?

"The port was completed and the logistics route was divided into two parts. Maybe Viscount Hamal is trying to strengthen his relationship with Krono to secure a profit?

Chrono stares at Empress Tilia as surprised.

"What's that face? I went to the commercial district and I'm trying to gather information."

"So, what developments do you think Dr. Tilia has?

Uh-huh, and Empress Tilia tilts her neck.

"... so the price of marble will go up"

"On what grounds?

"Because Minotaur, who worked at the stone cuttings in Baron Bowties' territory, is gone. That's one of the best marble regions in the empire. Without the workers who have been working for generations, the output will surely decrease."

The worker is engaged in pioneering in the territory of Count Cado, but Princess Tilia turned her gaze to Chirali and Chrono.

"Mmm, you should buy marble within the moment"

"Because I'm not sure I'll win against the merchants of Haiqian Mountain Thousand. I seriously work in territorial management."

That said, Chrono sighed.
