Kuro no Senki (LN)

March 43, Empire Calendar - Arthur Weisman is a teacher.

He used to teach in military schools, but was fired and is now encouraging the development of human resources in Marquis Erakis territory.

I am not dissatisfied with my current job.

Students are overflowing with a sense of direction and show respect to Arthur.

The two female faculty members also show respect.

Occasionally, I wonder if it would have been nice to have been fired from military school.

But I can tell you this because it's now.

When I was fired from military school, I was at a loss.

No, would the shock have been bigger?

Twenty-five years, I worked as a teacher assistant.

The job was to offer supplementary courses to students who had fallen away, but I was proud to work.

When I was pronounced dismissed, I felt like I had been denied pride, pride, and life.

I'm sure my godchild must have experienced the same suffering.

I was going to try to understand how students feel, but I think I should have educated them more closely to my heart.

But this is also an idea that comes out because now that I've decided to get a job safely.

I couldn't afford to save myself then.

My legs didn't move freely because of the ancient wounds, I had no connections to work as a tutor, and nothing preceded me in trying to open a private school.

So for the first time I realized that I was protected by a robust castle fort called the Military School.

Besides, it's a dumb story not to notice until you're thrown out on your own.

I might have stood around a little better if I had noticed.

Fortunately, my next place of employment was well decided thanks to an old friend.

It's like a house I knew was built next to a castle fort.

Thus, Arthur was to be encouraged to develop human resources in the Marquis of Elakis, but he was to be begged by soldiers of the Beast to teach him to study, and he was to be in charge of the education of more than five hundred people while he said yes.

Honestly, I was looking sweetly at the connection next to the soldier.

If Chrono hadn't recruited two women as faculty members, they would have died of overwork.

Develop talent while supervising two female faculty members.

That's Arthur's job, but more recently, he added research into iron tsu and crossbows.

Besides, it's an immediate order from Empress Tilia.

What an honor.

Is there so much praise as a knight?

As Arthur was trembling with emotion, Aridead and Deneb's sisters had a pitiful look on their faces, and it seemed better to say no to anything unpleasant.

I mean, well, I know I don't mean them any harm.

Generations are different.

I guess the imperial authority is also being lost, as the throne was gradually losing value.

Still, I believe it is right to offer allegiance to the Imperial Family.

You can't change what you believe because times have changed.

I don't care who doesn't understand me. Let's just say I gave you my orders from Empress Tilia.

I laugh bitterly thinking about that.

Because I realized that it was impossible to stand around well.

Arthur climbs to do his part.

It is so robust that I don't think it's rushed.

You must have taken into account my impaired legs.

A spiral staircase is provided inside, not a ladder.

Doctor, are you okay? '(Buba ~?)

"Oh, I'm fine."

Step out of the box and wave to the minotaur below.

Robust but not enough to support Minotaur's weight.

Finish climbing the stairs and look down at the practice field.

There stands a fence made of iron tsu.

Shall I describe it as a fence like a painting of countless circles intertwined between two vertical lines?

This is the tightest way to get it.

There was a trial and error until I settled on this shape.

The iron tsu was distorted because it was wrapped around a barrel.

At first, I stretched the iron tsu straight and made it, but I couldn't help but stretch it out on purpose! to be used without stretching in a word.

Then, what do you think?

Has it just become difficult to get through, or has the nail that holds the iron tsu to its strut stopped coming out even if you wave down your weapon?

Furthermore, the fence made of iron tsu is also resistant to witchcraft.

You can't destroy it unless it's magic like blowing up every strut or special magic.

Across that fence, ten beastmen with wooden sticks and five beastmen with crossbows… behind them stand five beastmen… confronted.

"Come on, today is the day to attack!

"Uh-oh."

Faye jumped the hook from behind, but the beasts with the stick of the tree were completely unmotivated.

That too, they know they can't break through the fence.

"Ha ha! I want to taste my power!

Aridead laughs.

I know you're winning streak and you're on track... no, don't you need to point it out?

"… So, here we go"

As Arthur squirmed at the communications magic item, Faye popped the wooden sword out with one hand.

"Yikes! It's against the rules for a commander to come in!

"There is no such rule! They told me there wasn't! I want you to tell me that important thing from the beginning!

Black light rises out of Faye's body like smoke.

Divine art.

Can the Iron Tsu retain an advantage over Kamikaze?

"Shoot, shoot, shoot! It's like not letting them near you!

When Aridead screamed, five beasts pulled the crossbow trigger.

The formation consists of two rows of sidelines.

The avant-garde shoots and the rear guard pulls the strings.

A higher number of crossbows would make them more continuous, but in the current situation, where there are only ten, they are only as effective as shooting side-by-side.

Faye approaches the fence as she moves to the zigzag.

"The barrage is thin! I don't know what you're doing!

Aridead raised a screaming voice.

But I guess that was bad.

The beasts will be after Faye.

A skilled person would have been able to preface Faye's behavior, but it's hard for them not a month after they started dealing with crossbows.

As a result, arrows were set free in vain.

"God, bless my blade!

As Fay waved down the dark wooden sword, the iron tsu was easily broken.

"It's like killing iron with a wooden sword or something too insane!

"A serial defeated grudge! It is thoughtful!

Faye jumped inside the fence and hung on the beast man who erected the crossbow.

Again, it seems that the new invention does not extend to the art of divinity.

"... it's only today that the commander can penetrate."

As Arthur descended from the crown, Minot called out.

"Doctor, what do you think? '(Buba ~?)

"The iron tsu is impeccable. We don't need Yokogi, so we can save time installing it, and we have limited ways to destroy it."

'That's what I think. Faye made it easy to break through, but it's not a bad idea to be able to pull out the enemy's maximum power. "

Looking at the squad yard, Aridead was being chased around by Faye.

"Well, it's easy to conditionally say that there's someone who can fight this way." (BUZA ~)

"You'll need a hero to stop her."

Do you mean Faye's a hero too? '(Bubba?

No, she's a hero candidate.

Arthur grinned bitterly.

"Enemy heroes are a real pain in the ass. On your side..."

Arthur shut his mouth.

Claude Crawford is a civil unrest hero, but would he have felt reliable?

Wasn't it more troublesome than that, though it was reliable?

"Wouldn't it be unreliable if you were on my side?

Minot leaned her neck wonderfully.

It is an impossible story.

The heroic candidates he has acted with are decent compared to Claude.

I agree with you that the enemy hero is in trouble. When General Ignis was the enemy, he drank boiled water many times. I couldn't even stand on the same mound then. '

Minot said in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

I know about the invasion of the divine kingdom of Argo, which became a cut off for Chrono to become a lord, and the parental march that led him to lose his men.

Both temporarily took advantage of the war situation, but were disadvantaged by the power of numbers.

You could say that the defeat was confirmed before we could cross the drinks.

That's why Chrono is highly regarded and wary.

"Then let's turn to the side where we drink boiling water next. I can't believe we're on this fence, but we have to create a gap between the fence and the fence for when we turn to attack."

"Does it feel like Master Chrono made the fence he used in the first line massive? '(Buba ~?)

"Exactly."

Arthur nodded quietly.

"Well, as far as I'm concerned, I'd like to come up with another idea."

What are you going to do? '(Buba ~?)

Minotaurs have asked in a way of intrigue.

"You want to devise ways to prevent witchcraft. For example, trenches... digging moats to hide yourself. If you dig a hole, you can make a dirt base, so it's two birds a stone."

"......" (Buyabu)

Minot is mogging his mouth like he said something.

"What's wrong with you?

"No, I thought the boulder was the Admiral's teacher."

"Chrono, you've been Chrono since the beginning."

I wasn't as feminine as I am now, but Arthur smiled bitterly.

"The Admiral can't be bluffed."

"Oh. So it's my pleasure as a teacher to say another idea. Just imitating my goddaughter doesn't look good."

When Arthur clasped his shoulder, Minot shook his shoulder delightfully.

We need to work out how to operate a crossbow.

"Indeed, the range is too short compared to a normal bow."

The crossbow has a shorter range and less continuity than a normal bow.

I think it should be operated with archers, but Empress Tilia's orders also include the establishment of a method of combat dominated by crossbows.

"We can't talk about losing range to the enemy."

"Maybe we should figure out a way to do something about the archers before we get into shooting each other." (Bubba Bubba)

Right, Arthur nodded.

When the number of crossbows is aligned, they can increase the continuity in the way the Allied do, but the range can't help it.

"Thoroughly shred the number of archers and arrows with enemy ground penetration agitation, heavy raids, ambushes"

"When the enemy land is infiltrated, it's easy to need a cavalry."

"Empress Tilia is thinking of expanding her cavalry, so you don't have to worry about that. If my legs move freely, I'll make a name for myself as a teacher."

No, are you somewhat hesitant?

When I was an assistant teacher at a military school, I did supplementary classes for Chrono, as I do every day.

And yet he doesn't even remember riding a horse.

My confidence as a teacher is pretty shaky.

"You're going to collapse because you work too hard."

It's teething that I can't spear work, and I swallow those words hard.

Think about it, I think I've been trying to figure out a way to make up for what I'm missing since I was training to be a knight.

"... I'm going to be busy"

Empress Tilia seems to want to establish a way to make the inhabitants soldiers in a short period of time.

I do not know what situation you are assuming, but the damage to the inhabitants must be kept to a minimum.

Schiff put the finished letter on his desk.

Look up at the ceiling of the office and exhale, keeping your eyes closed and massaging your eyes.

"... sigh and happiness will escape"

When I opened my eyes, Bear stood in the center of the room.

"You know the habit of knocking?

"Come on, I'm a civilized man. I know about knocks."

Bear shrugged her shoulders so she could play and leaned against her desk.

I have an expanded letter on my desk, but I just glanced at it.

"What is this guy?

It's a letter from the Presbyterian Church.

"Now what are you complaining about? Immigration succeeded. Even pioneering is going well. There's got to be no connection for the Presbyterian to complain."

Bear said in a fed up tone.

I guess that's all you're dissatisfied with the way the Presbyterian Church does.

Moving to abundant lands was a grief for generations of ancestors.

Of course, it's not going to fly.

It is visible that if you do everything in your power to take the land, it will be taken back.

I have to get permission to migrate even in the distance.

But I didn't get permission.

If we do not determine where the sense of belonging of immigrants is directed, we will allow aggression.

In that sense, the guild masters in the group of free city states were smart.

Anyway, because they never actually gave permission just to use permission to migrate as bait.

I had no choice but to follow it, even if I knew it was being used well.

Because I couldn't even live without it.

You don't get what you really want by risking your life to fight.

It ends up being used for convenience.

I was imprisoned by that feeling.

I'm sure my men were the same.

"It's the usual paranoia"

"Can we take Sylvania back as a bridgehead? Do something stupid. If we do that, we're done. You don't just lose your chances of emigration forever. My assessment as a mercenary also falls to the ground. What does the Presbyterian think?"

Bear told me to throw up.

"This time it's about a woman."

"Are you talking about Princess Tilia's suggestion? Even though there's a hostage aspect to it, that's what it takes to strengthen the relationship, isn't it?

I suppose you want to appeal to the Empress of Tilia to treat her as well as the inhabitants if it helps even if she is of different ethnicity.

That's why he said he would hire the people of the tribal federations as maids.

As Bear puts it, there is undeniably a hostage aspect, but as the head of the tribal coalition, there is flavor.

"The Presbyterian Church doesn't think so"

"Did you say you were going to offer a woman and sell her flair?

……

Schiff did not answer.

Summarize the contents of the letter and Bear will be right.

"Oh, my God. Who the hell tipped you off?

"It would be someone involved. Originally, I was going to send someone with a lot of status. What's the matter? The information leaks."

Schiff leaned against the back of the chair and put his legs together.

"As usual, you're not gonna deal with the Presbyterian Church, are you?

"I intend to, but not the other chiefs"

The Presbyterian Church is an organization with no real rights, but even such people have a mouthful of abominations.

"All the Presbyterians, including my father, are fine with blood."

Should I call it a generation of relaxation?

My grandfather, my great-grandfather's generation had produced many excellent warriors, but my father's generation didn't.

"If people with no track record, no ability, are calling out in a big voice, it means they'll come out affected."

"No matter how they call us, we won't be affected."

Bear gave him a musty look.

We must mean the inhabitants of Pioneering Village.

"There are a certain number of people who believe in any ridiculous story. So no more scams"

"Will they pull their legs inside you? You're sick of it."

What now, Schiff laughed.

"So, what are you going to do? You're not gonna turn down Princess Tilia's offer, are you?

"That's the one, no way. The Moo have pushed Kalis, and the Hu have pushed Luca."

"... Callis?"

Bear had the look of a bitter bug chewed up.

He is from the Moo tribe.

We know that Callis was seen as a stone girl and separated.

Luca of the Hu tribe is in the same situation.

Perhaps the chiefs of the Moo and Hu tribes are going to say that stone women are not women if the Presbyterian Church complains.

And if the Presbyterian Church has argued, aren't you the ones who said that stone women are not women? and cut back.

Don't worry about it.

"I feel the same way, but this is politics."

Even if you don't deal with what you're saying, it's a lifesaver.

"That's why."

"If you don't make a candidate, the Nu will only get it"

The Nu have the lowest status among the tribal coalitions and are forced to shy away when deciding on something.

We want to improve this situation, but if we treat tribes with low and high contributions to tribal coalitions in the same line, it will be the source of discord.

"Sif, doesn't your tribe make a candidate?

"There's something about Quaint."

"You got me, didn't you?

"I don't think so around"

Even though they have a lot of authority.

Care must be taken not to be offended.

"I've had a successful emigration. There's no one to complain to you."

The Presbyterian Church is complaining.

Schiff poked his cheek wand and sighed.

It's all a hassle, but there's no reason to throw out the blame.

Gee, Sher, Tong Tong...... that sound sounds regular to the textile workshop.

Elaine watched the craftsman's work with one hand covering her mouth.

It will be a month before Dwarves, who work in the workshop of the Marquis of Elakis, were sent.

I was worried they would have to be closed for days, but they just finished improving the loom in two days or they built a small room inside the workshop.

If you were to name the closest thing Elaine has in her knowledge, it would be a wind decontamination chamber.

It's usually built outside the building, but the workshop faces the road, so I guess I built it inside.

At first I was surprised.

Dwarves started making things that didn't make sense without saying anything.

I'd rather not be surprised.

I finally found out that I was building a small room to prevent peeping where it was taking shape.

Together, the loom has been successfully improved and is running without any problems.

I wanted to hear a lot about it if I could, but they just left.

They're busy preparing alcohol and ingredients around the corner.

I feel they need communication skills and flexible thinking.

Well, it's not what Elaine worries about.

Good. Hey, and Elaine hung up the corner of her mouth.

The speed of weaving had just been increased thanks to the flying jaws, or the excess personnel could be allocated to yarn spinning.

On top of that, I was able to reassemble my shift so that my employees could get enough rest.

Best of all, it feels great that you're pushing your rivals away.

Just imagine your competitor weaving cloth in an inefficient way. An unspoken sense of comfort runs through your whole body.

"... kufu"

"Dear Elaine, if you want to laugh, I think you should laugh"

My voice leaks unexpectedly.

Then Siana burst in with a bell-ringing voice.

Despite the considerable time that has passed since I switched to my daytime life, I still have, like, sleepy eyes.

"He who stands at the top should be proud of himself."

"... ha"

It was a careless reply.

It seems that Siana needs communication skills and flexible thinking as well as Dwarf.

"You're doing so well as I'm afraid."

Work on Baron Mesartim, Baron Bossain and Baron Trace was also successful.

It would have taken a long time without contacts, but the three of them were 'Sinner Trade Union' customers.

It was one thing to deal with now, but it was impeccable as a customer of a whorehouse.

It was easy to induce the three of them to take an interest in the deal.

Doubt and pry if the whore you're talking about owns several expensive gems.

Aside from the whorehouse, look away and understand that Sylvania is a city of merchants.

And that Chrono made the city to be like that.

Civilians rise with one talent.

Stand on top of those who have looked down.

That is a tremendous fear.

If you do nothing, you will be driven down, but you do not want to come under the new nobility of the risen.

Should I say fortunate, excuses were available.

It's a letter from the Empress Tilia.

The three tell themselves.

I obey the Empress Tilia.

Maybe he even thinks that the development of the Marquis of Elakis and the Count of Cado territory was intended by Empress Tilia.

"Is everything okay with Master Kane, too?

"Why is Kane coming out?

Even if Elaine stares, Cyana won't move.

I just look back with my sleepy eyes.

"You look like you're taking an approach."

"Work. And insect repellent."

Being cordial with a deputy helps to take the lead in a meeting.

It's a good thing because it also reduces the number of people who dictate forcefully.

"You look unwell"

"That's not going well."

Even if Elaine asks her out, Kane laughs and runs away.

I thought I'd finally come to the store and drink some water and go home.

Impossible? And I want to hear it.

"I think you should stop that"

"Can you read my mind?

"There was a wrinkle between my eyebrows."

Ciana pointed between her eyebrows.

That can't be right.

I wouldn't serve as a whore or anything if I had briefly put my emotions on the table.

But even if we interrogate her, Cyana will deny it.

She is a daughter with strong arms or tortured without changing her complexion.

No wonder you can use reading minds.

"I hope you're convinced."

Wouldn't you really be able to read your mind?

"I don't care who you are if you don't betray me."

"Thank you"

Siana bowed her head in peculiarity.

"Well, good luck keeping your secret from leaking."

"Understood."

Although nothing is best, Elaine gently slapped Cyana on the shoulder, leaving the textile workshop behind.
