Kuro no Senki (LN)

Kane slowly opened his eyes.

This isn't a hashel, Kane stood up and put on her headboard hanging trousers.

The structure of the cavalry barracks adjacent to the deputies' offices was in Hashel. Same as that, same room spacing.

No, there are two differences.

One is that the furniture provided is brand new, the other is that there are rules whereby a man uses a room on the ground floor and a woman uses a room upstairs.

I don't even have to think about why.

Apart from when you can't afford it, you should take care of good sense and discernment when you can.

Kane left the room as he bit down the absenteeism.

I smell an appetite-stimulating smell.

The maid of honor...... Minot's sister Aria's dish sounds good when it comes to harnessing the flavour of the ingredients, but it is a country dish.

But Aria's cooking suited Kane's taste.

I feel more nostalgic than delicious.

Kane enjoyed wanting to go straight to the dining room and went out to the deputy garden.

Quaint was waving a wooden sword in the garden of the deputies.

"... Huh!... Huh!

Kane kept his back on the barracks wall and stared at Quaint.

Three days passed when Quaint rolled into the deputy office.

Quaint locked himself in the room on the first and second day, and on the third day he couldn't stand hunger, and came out of the room.

Today on the fourth day, Quaint is encouraging the training of swordsmanship.

Through encouragement, you look like you're hurting your body.

"Hey, Quaint"

"... Huh!... Huh!

Even as Kane called, Quaint was waving a wooden sword.

"Why are you barebacking?

Once again, when Kane spoke, Quaint interrupted his bareback and glanced at Kane.

"To ask your father to solve the problem. If I grow up to be a warrior, I'm sure Father will reconsider. If you understand, don't talk to me anymore."

Kane thought it was childish shallow, but he didn't say it.

Quaint resumed his bareback.

"You, a virgin?

"... Huh! Hey, hey, what are you talking about, you!

Quaint interrupted his bareback, turning his face bright red and shouting.

Apparently, for this minute, Quaint is a virgin.

Well, in a sexual sense.

"Don't get me wrong. It means you've killed people before."

"... None"

Quaint leaned down regrettably.

"I see."

"I will soon abandon my virginity!

"No, no, take care of the virginity. Either that, or you're gonna die in the first place when you're on the verge of abandoning your virginity?

"I'm a warrior! Warriors don't fear death!

"... idiot"

Kane threw up.

Fortunately, Kane's whining didn't seem to sound like Quaint.

Kane grabbed the bamboo that was nearby and walked over to Quaint.

"Motivated? Take it, I'll stand! Now it's time to beat you!

"No. I'm telling you to pay for three days of inn and a day's meal before you train in swordsmanship."

Quaint roared in a grumpy manner as Kane protruded his grump.

"... I'm a warrior"

"What's wrong with that? I'm not as popular as feeding a guy who doesn't work. Oh, no, don't even think about it when you say," Please bless the rice and the bed. "

"Lend it!"

Quaint brutally snatched the bamboo from Kane.

"Leave the wooden sword behind."

"I know."

Quaint pressed a wooden sword against Kane and, in rough footsteps, headed to the front door of the deputy.

"Well, let's get started"

Kane grabbed the wooden sword and began to waver.

Kane washed away the sweat in the bathroom as she finished her bareback.

Spring, though, the bathroom air was cold.

Kane thought it would have been nice if he had prepared water, but soon admonishes himself that luxury is an enemy.

There is only one maid in the deputy office.

I feel bad about Kane putting a strain on her just to take a hot bath.

When Kane shaved his beard and went to the dining room, Westa and Rona were in their seats.

Quaint is also well seated.

Kane took his seat.

Then Aria brought the dish at the perfect time.

Aria first put the dish in front of Kane. Whitefish soup and wheat porridge.

Kane shut up and ate the food.

I miss a table without conversation.

I know that's Kane, but I don't know what to tell you.

If you're a woman in an inn, a tavern, or a whorehouse, it's easy to talk to.

They're also in business, so if they don't shake the topic so tochi crazy, they'll ride.

In the end, Kane finished his meal without a word.

'Dear Kane, how was your cooking today?' (pupa?

"Oh, it's not bad. But there's still a lot of salt."

According to Chrono's story, Aria was cooking out to workers during the building of the port.

So I guess Aria's cooking is seasoned for manual workers.

"I'll try to reduce it a little bit" (pupa)

That said, Aria put a plate on the tray.

Miscellaneous lady in the deputy office (Maid All Works) Aria is a worker.

Initially, Kane heard that Minotaur was going to be the maid of honor, and I thought it was impossible, but I thought this might be it.

Aria of Minotaur can do cleaning, laundry, cooking, and even work hard.

The fact that I can do this hard work is very helpful as a middle-aged maid (Maid All Works).

Aria recovered Rona's plate and stopped next to Westa.

There is only a little barley congee left.

Even though Westa has fallen, he comes from a wealthy merchant.

Westa's tongue will be quite fat, so maybe Aria's dish doesn't fit her tongue.

Rona is worried in the opposite sense of Westa.

Rona completes the dishes served, but doesn't say anything about preference or flavoring.

"Hey, Rona. Did the rice taste good?

"Huh?"

When Kane was driven by curiosity to ask, Rona stared at Kane with a decent face.

"Just so we can have dinner"

Rona leaned down embarrassed.

"Master Chrono doesn't take rent or anything."

Chrono does not deduct utilities, food or clothing to be worn in the mansion from the employee's salary.

There are special holidays and special allowances at the end of the year.

"Hey there! Don't try to leave the cafeteria!

"Why not? You finished your breakfast, huh?

Kane stopped Quaint from trying to leave the dining room.

"If you've had dinner, help wash the dishes"

"As far as I'm concerned, does a guy named Chrono just feed you?

"No. Master Krono is kind to his men and servants. Are you one of Lord Chrono's men? Are you a servant of Master Chrono?

"... no"

Quaint replied in a grumpy manner.

"But I'm a warrior. Demand treatment as a warrior!

"All right, warrior. I'm always holding my sword. Why don't you wash the dishes with that hand instead of lodging? Not as much as cleaning the front door of the bureau, not even for dinner."

Gugugugugugu, and Quaint roared strangely.

"... ok. Aria, tell me how to wash the dishes."

"Yes" (pupa)

"It's Aria, Aria. He's your senior."

"... I hate you"

That said, Quaint left the dining room with Aria.

"Isn't that a little too much, Mr. Kane?

"The kid in that hand, if you're nice, he'll follow you up."

Haha, and Westa laughed in a dry voice.

Kane poked his cheek wand and checked Westa's plate.

The plates are empty.

Apparently, Aria's wheat porridge also fits Westa's tongue.

Although it is possible that Westa is patient.

Kane went back to his room and changed his clothes.

I checked in the mirror to see if there was any shaving residue on my beard and laughed bitterly.

It's been about two years since Kane became one of Chrono's men.

In the meantime, take care of your beard.

As soon as that becomes deputy, I care about the shaving residue of my beard.

It means there will be one bitter laugh.

Kane headed to the deputy office and came across Quaint along the way.

Quaint looked abominably at Kane.

"Quaint, have you washed the dishes properly?

"Washed."

Quaint threw up and tried to walk away from the spot.

Kane poked his hand at the wall and blocked Quaint's going.

"What can I do for you yet?

"When you're done washing your dishes, clean your barracks and wash your laundry. When you're done cleaning and laundry, get ready to take a bath."

"I'm a warrior! I'm not your slave!

"Say that kind of dialogue after you work like a slave. By and large, you're a warrior, but you can't earn your own food."

Quaint stared at Kane in a haunted shape.

"You don't have a problem if you make me money, do you?

"Oh, if you even pay me, I'll treat you like a customer. I wish I could make my own money."

"Don't forget that word!

"I won't forget."

Quaint disowned Kane's hand and left in a rough foothold.

Well, I guess not, Kane scratched her neck.

Kane stops by the dining room.

Aria was wiping the table in the dining room.

"Well, Master Kane! '(pupa!

When Aria looked at Kane, she rested her hand wiping the table.

"Hey, how was Quaint?

……

Aria tilted her neck to say she didn't know what it meant.

I was wondering if Quaint was working seriously.

'Oh, yes, Quaint worked seriously' (puppy, puppy ~)

Why, Kane wanted to go in and put "Chan" on it, but he felt good about it.

Aria is ten years older than Quant, so it's no wonder she's 'Chan' attached.

"... just" (... pupa ~)

Aria put her hand on her cheek and sighed depressingly.

"Just what?

"Because Quaint never seemed to have done much chores" (Puppy)

Apparently, Quaint was a bad dishwasher.

It is not surprising that dishwashing is poor given the chief's position as a child.

"Evil, but why don't you teach Quaint a lot?

'... I don't mind that' (... puta)

Aria seems confused.

"I don't know how serious Schiff is, but you can't lose it remembering. How many mercenaries do you need to fight?"

Combat technology is important to mercenaries, but so are chore skills.

Housekeeping in general is a new job in any mercenary regiment.

"Yes, if I may" (pupa)

I asked you, and Kane left the dining room behind.

Kane stopped in the middle of the courtyard.

I felt uncomfortable.

Housekeeping in general is a new job in any mercenary regiment.

Yet Quaint was poorly dishwashed.

Kane cheaply wondered if Quaint had not done his chores because he was the chief's child, but would Schiff treat his own child special?

If Schiff treats Quaint specially, there will always be dissatisfaction from Ancient Ginseng's men.

It wouldn't be a shiv not realizing that.

"... you mean Quaint doesn't know common sense as a mercenary? Oh, no, maybe I was going to educate you."

Kane scratched his head with gassi.

Naturally, Mary and Kate, the receptionists, were at the reception counter.

The first floor of the deputy is the waiting room.

The waiting room is just a murderous room lined with long chairs.

Merchants who trade contracts with mercenary guilds are supposed to fill in their names at the reception and wait in the order, but they don't have to wait in the waiting room.

"Hey, what do you say?

"I'm worried they won't fire me if I'm so free"

"Corner, I thought I could get a job"

Mary and Kate sighed depressingly.

They're renting their own room, so I guess they have somewhere to think about what's going on.

All of a sudden, I don't think there's any layoffs.

"I have quite a bit of storage, because it's only 'quite'"

"At this age, you can hire me."

Huh, and Mary and Kate sighed depressingly again.

Kane went upstairs to the deputies' office without telling them to rest.

On the second floor of the deputy office, Westa and Rona worked cleaning.

Westa and Rona keep cleaning, so there's no garbage-like trash.

Kane got to his seat and poked his cheek wand.

The work of the deputies is basically dependent on the activities of mercenary guilds.

Mercenary operations are not considered full-time in the Kepheus Empire, so it may be natural for the deputies to be free.

Kane poked his cheek wand and watched as Westa and Rona cleaned.

Westa's handiwork is bad as a lady growing up.

Rona is cleaning up.

The cleaning upstairs took less than an hour.

"Dear Kane, it's my job."

"Oh, let me through"

Mary's voice echoed from a communications magic item on Kane's desk.

The communications magic items on Kane's desk are for ultra-short distances that connect the first and second floors.

When Schiff and the merchant entered the room, Rona received the contract and placed it at Westa's desk.

Westa reads the contract and checks with Schiff and the merchant to see if there are any inaccuracies in the contract details.

Kane signed the contract as a witness and the job is done.

"Sif, stay a little"

"Okay."

Schiff had a brief meeting with the merchant and the merchant left the room first.

Schiff stands in front of Kane's desk.

"Um, shall we take it off?

"No big deal."

Kane answered Westa and stared at Schiff.

"It's about Quaint."

"I made an allowance for that. Bake, boil, peel, whatever you want."

"A ghost, you are."

Kane put a penetration into the sif he said out without changing one complexion.

Well, I'm guessing Schiff is convinced Kane won't let Quaint look terrible.

"Hey, if it's enough to make a mistake, why did you bring Quaint?

"... Quaint is one of the candidates for chieftaincy. But I don't know where I grew up wrong."

Schiff put his arms together and exhaled.

"Not to mention one of the candidates for chieftaincy, then the future of our clan is dark"

"Well, yeah."

Kane nodded at Schiff's words.

"We don't talk about pig warriors."

"So, take a break and re-educate?

"That's the thing. It's not like I want you to see the wider world as a parent."

Which way, Kane burst into his mind.

"By the way, what about Quaint?

"I don't know, you mean parents. He said he'd make money as a warrior, and he's out there. Well, if you're hungry, why don't you come home?

Hmm, Schiff stroked his jaw to think about it.

"Well, that didn't seem like a mistake."

"Oh, you look like you're seriously looking for a job"

Kane imagined Quaint looking for a job and laughed bitterly.

"Oh, I was in the cage. Apparently, the slave trader caught me."

"It doesn't look like it! Instead of the wider world, you're in a narrow cage!

Kane stood up and slapped her desk.

"Seriously abandon your own child, dude!

"That's what I'm talking about."

"Seriously, ghost, you are!

Kane jumped out of the room.

Running down the stairs and opening the door with momentum,

"It's not dangerous!

Elaine's anger was slapped by Kane.

"If you're complaining, I'll ask you later! Quaint said... Quaint!

Kane noticed that Quaint was next to Elaine and peeled her surprised less eyes.

Quaint was weaving a borough cloth.

Looks like you're naked under a borough cloth or close to it.

"Instead of earning food, you're being stripped."

"... ugh."

Kane sarcastically quainted as he stroked his chest down inside.

Quaint is going to cry now.

"Hey, isn't that the way you put it?

Elaine walked out to shelter Quaint.

Kane can't hide his surprise at his non-Elaine-like behavior.

"... would you both please step back"

Schiff's voice echoes from behind Kane.

As Kane cleared the way, Schiff passed right in front of Kane without saying anything.

"... Father"

Quaint called Sif with a voice inviting pity.

But Schiff doesn't answer.

It's as if you haven't heard a voice.

"... Father"

Quaint said in a stronger tone than earlier.

Don't abandon me, Father, and Quaint was complaining with his eyes.

Schiff looked at Quaint.

However, it was not the reaction Quaint wanted.

Schiff looked at Quaint with the same eyes as even the worm could see.

That broke Quaint's heart.

Quaint leaned down, pounding and tearing away.

"Oh, my God, get back in your room. I'll have my clothes delivered later."

Quaint honestly followed Kane's orders.

I headed to the barracks in flirtatious footsteps.

"You don't like children?

"I'm more surprised you like kids."

"Do you like kids? Though I don't really like families who seem happy."

"You're distorted."

Kane shrugged and glared at Elaine half-eyed.

"So you don't like children?

"Oh, such a busy kid."

There's nothing you can do. There's nothing you can do.

I can put up with it if I'm not close to myself, but being close makes me annoying.

"By that logic, did I say Elena? Is that the same with that girl?

"He was aggressive because of everything, wasn't he?

Huh, and Elaine pointed a meaningful gaze at Kane.

"It's not the busy kids you hate, it's the old you."

"Maybe so."

"Oh, you're not angry?

"If I were a little younger, I would have been angry."

Kane flaunted her shoulders.

If you think you're gonna piss me off, don't bother talking to me, but don't think so.

I'm going back to work.

"Yeah, I'm going back to work too"

That said, Elaine scratched up her hair.

When Kane finished his job, he headed to the barracks.

I spoke to Aria, who was drawing water from the deputy well.

"What about Quaint?

"After that, I'm not coming out of my room." (puppy, puppy)

"Okay. I'll see."

Kane headed to Quaint's room on the ground floor of the barracks.

I knocked on the door, but there was no response.

Kane sighed and entered Quaint's room.

Quaint's room is a killing landscape, just like Kane's.

In the dim room, Quaint was round in bed.

"... don't come"

"You're in a closed cage, so I guess I'm here to watch you worried."

Kane approached the bed where Quaint was rounded and lowered his hips with momentum.

Quaint shook his body with Vikri.

Kane did not speak to Quaint.

"... after that, I looked for a job"

"Right."

Quaint's voice was shaking miserably.

"He told me he'd introduce me to work, drink incense tea, and when I realized, I was in a cage"

Kane glanced.

In addition to the slave trade and prostitution, Chrono is careful not to let the inhabitants become slaves.

Because Pre-Construction does not diminish the productive power of the territory, the genuine desire is to protect the inhabitants as lords.

You know the long-time merchant, don't you? Does that mean the economy's getting better and poor quality guys are pouring in? and Kane scratched her hair .

"My father and everyone knew I was in a cage."

"Come on, are you serious ghost"

Quaint whimpered like he was no longer comfortable.

Neither Schiff nor Schiff's men could help the table because Quaint was being accounted for.

"I can't do anything."

As Schiff expects, Quaint is heartbroken.

I'm guessing Quaint felt powerless without the position of a mercenary guild backshield or a chief child in this case.

Though I feel so painful that I have even lost my temper as a warrior.

"You know, there's nothing a child can do."

……

Kane stroked Quaint's head.

"I really can't do anything, really"

With strength, with wisdom, with some talent... my sister would still be next to Kane if someone gentle had reached out to me.

But power and wisdom were not in Kane back then.

I don't have talent now.

Nor was there anyone kind enough to reach out to me.

So my sister is not next to Kane.

Kane exhaled.

"Quaint, I'll protect you until you can be alone."

……

Kane tapped Quaint's head lightly and stepped out of Quaint's room.

Close the door in your rear hand and exhale only once more.

"Um, how was it?

Seeing Kane speak, Westa stood in a worried face.

"You're gonna be okay, maybe."

"Um, I... Elena asked me about the slave trader"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it here."

Kane tapped Westa's shoulder lightly and headed to the deputy office.

To report the incident to Chrono on a communications magic item.

It was late at night that Chrono led his men and arrived in Sylvania.

Not so many people.

The number is about a hundred, and the proportion is where the elf archer said two, and the beast man said eight?

The overall command appears to be directed by the Deputy Minotaur, the Elf Archer by Nasr, and the Beastman by Shilo and Hyiro.

"As always, the footwork is light"

Kane stared at the carriage lined up in the street.

"Soldiers say they respect God's speed, and I wonder if it's important that they don't prepare them."

Chrono said in a tone where he couldn't even feel the shards of tension.

As for Kane, who was drunk of boiled water, I just have to laugh bitterly.

"Does a candidate make sense?

"The commander of the sniper unit is Nasr, and he chose Shilo and Hylo because the erasure method... Minotaur and Lizardman are not easy to get around, and Tiga is a big sword for what he gets"

Chrono flaunted his shoulder.

Shiro and Hyiro, who were told to have been brought here by the erasure method, may be staring at Chrono with lonely eyes.

"Admiral, what are you going to do? '(Bubba?

"Just like we talked about in the carriage. I'd like to catch him alive if I could, but not if he resists."

Chrono retrieved the communication magic item.

From the results, the merchant who tried to grab Quaint was caught lightly.

The merchant did not have escort-like escorts and seemed to lack experience in rough matters.

Even if he had some experience with merchants, he couldn't beat Crono's men.

Chrono's men have a lot of experience in action and are heavily trained.

The merchant may have been wise.

At any rate, the merchant surrendered when Shilo and Hylo entered with his men.

That's why the merchant and his four companions, who tried to grab Quaint, are drawn to Sylvania's vacant land and tied behind their backs.

"If you want to slash your neck, shouldn't you just do it?

"Mm-hmm. It's a good opportunity, so I thought I'd stab you in the nail."

Chrono was sitting in a chair, legged together.

It feels like a good lord.

Chrono's attitude continued even upon the arrival of the seven leading Sylvanian merchants from the city… some of them Elaine…

"... Elaine, Elaine Sinner? This man Kane is protecting... the killer who tried to grab Quaint?

"Yes, it is."

Chrono stood up looking like a hundred million bucks.

"Though I'm talking about it?

"I am a good merchant. Grabbing, etc., very, very"

When Chrono inquired, the main culprit and the merchant shook his head beside him.

"Shiro, finger"

"Oh no... Hino, no, no, no, no!

Shilo turned around behind the main culprit and did something.

Shiro ran over to Chrono and offered Chrono the blood-soaked merchant's finger.

"... I wanted to say broken?

"Me, Fail" (ha!

When Shilo threw down the merchant's fingers, he circled behind the merchant again.

"Stop, stop! I did it, I did it, I did it!

"Siro, be gentle, huh?

Bekin, bekin and dried sound sounded intermittent.

"So what do we do with the disposition?

"Uh-huh. Well, it's my first offense."

Chrono replied with a laugh to Elaine.

The tone was mild, but my eyes weren't laughing.

Chrono walked over to the main culprit merchant.

At the next moment, Chrono's toe was piercing the face of a merchant of the main character.

As Chrono slowly pulled through his toenails, the unsupported main criminal merchant fell to the ground.

"... it's my first offense, so I'll only save your life. However, all property is confiscated! If you don't get out of my territory by the end of the day, I'll kill you."

Chrono turned to Elaine and the others.

"Encouraging business is fine, but lawlessness is troubling. Everybody, I think I know."

Chrono flaunted his shoulder.

And that evening...... the merchant and his companions, who tried to grab Quaint, came back to Sylvania dead.

The body had been severely damaged as it had been attacked by a beast.

I want you to open this box after I leave.

Krono left Sylvania, leaving behind what Kane needed.

By the way, Kane deposited the box he had deposited from Chrono with Aria.

The next day, Kane headed to the front door of the deputies' office as he bit down the absences.

On the doorstep of the deputies there is a placard that reads' We are in the presence of a contract '.

The matter of Quaint, even in its extremes, will cause a lot of trouble as Sylvania develops.

Kane's intention to undertake the presence of various contracts at the deputies' office was to prevent trouble.

Of course, I got Chrono's permission.

"... you also need to read the contract"

"Good morning, Master Kane" (pupa ~)

Kane looked at Aria.

Aria stood in her hand with a pair of chillies.

For some reason, Quaint was hiding in Aria's shadow.

"Say hello, Quaint" (pupa)

"... ugh."

Quaint remains hidden in Aria's shadow.

Quaint may have been heartbroken and asked Aria for his place of mind.

"Quaint? '(pupa?

"Okay."

Quaint slowly walked out of Aria's shadow.

Quaint was wearing made-up clothes.

The skirt is short in length.

A little longer than Elaine's clothes.

There are no sleeves and the chest is heavily exposed.

Quaint's chest is flat through a small swing.

Close to being flat.

"You, were you a woman?

"Oh, I was... a warrior"

Quaint shyly suppressed his skirt, folding his thighs and thighs together.

Because of the shame, Quaint is bright red to his ears.

"Where were those clothes?

"In a Box Deposited by Master Kane" (pupa)

"Leave me the bad word, don't go home!

Kane shouted and returned to me.

"Bye, you idiot! Don't come out dressed like that! If Schiff sees..."

"Father, don't look."

Quaint said with a face that was still going to cry.

When Kane looked back at the word Father, Schiff stood pale in his face.

Schiff covered his face with one hand.

"I'll put it down just in case. That's Mr. Chrono's hobby, isn't it?

"From what I've told you, he says he's a legitimate man"

"Master Chrono is generally legitimate, isn't he? Some of them are pointy. You didn't ask Elaine?

Schiff is likely to fall down now.

But it was Schiff himself who caused the situation.

Kane laughed bitterly and dropped off Schiff leaving in an unbridled foothold.
