March 11, the day after Mr. Eina became my subordinate. We were walking in the market of Ausal, the capital of the former Kingdom of Saidal.

The members told me and my sister, Mr. Reina, the Eina sisters. About 10 other soldiers from the escort have arrived a little further away.

The surrounding buildings can show burning marks everywhere, but the market is busy with quite a few people and there are many items lined up.

Looking only at the vibrancy, it seems a lie that it was a battlefield until the other day.

Thanks to Eina for taking into account my request for an early settlement, the inhabitants, of course, hardly any of them starved to death by Mr. Elf.

I guess the fact that there were fewer victims also leads to a faster recovery.

Supplies still seem to be coming in from neighboring cities, and carriages loaded with luggage frequently go to (hippos) to cross. If Mr. Listella were here, I would feel the smell of business.

The money seems to be common on the continent, so I spend some time with my sister buying things like baked sweets and eating them and looking at the store because I could use my stuff.

My sister was interested in replenishing the seasonings she had consumed during her long journey and the rare ingredients that were specialty to this country.

I hope that sounds fun, but as a brother, I'm a little worried that you'd also like me to show interest in clothes and cute little things.

Maybe that's not what I was able to say when I left the whole dish to myself...

So I gently slapped Rhina in the ear and asked her to pick a store that looked good and decided to go in there.

Mr. Rhina is still a samurai who doesn't lack spear training (Tamron) as long as she has time, but there's actually a girly side to it, which can be pretty tasteful.

What Rhina chose for me was a small accessory store, where an old woman, not knowing if she was awake or asleep, was alone in the store number.

It is also lined up from hundreds of Astres to tens of thousands of Astres for the general public with expensive items. But it's just right for Rhina's eyes, and there's an array of delicacies.

... Well, I just don't know what's good or bad about accessories.

Either way, I walk into the store and say the words.

"I always take care of everyone, so pick whatever you like because I'll have the price. Oh, will Rhina pick for you for Eina?

"... Huh?

The look on Eina's face, taken aback, is quite rare.

Try Eina, the finance minister of the kingdom of Pharos and the next king's most prominent candidate, and it will be like a toy (a toy) to be lined up in this store.

But if it's one of those dishes that my favorite sister picked out, there's got to be some value there that can't be converted into money.

In fact, it was Eina who saw this one with a surprised look at my words, but now she seems so happy that she rarely sees it, she blushes her cheeks (cheeks) lightly and asks Reina to pick that item.

... If you look at it this way, Eina is a normal girl too. I don't think he's a schemer who would go into three fingers on the continent if he were to patrol a very conspiracy.

Anyway, I hope this makes a good impression on me. There's very little I can do for you when you're my husband.

Meanwhile, my sister is eagerly searching for accessories while talking to Rhina.

It's been a long time since you've had such a peaceful time...

... So it seems that shopping for girls is something that takes time, and it took about three to four hours for her to feel physically and the selection finally ended.

I slept alongside the owner's grandmother.

In the end, her sister fastened her hair in silver, Rhina's decorative string (string) with blue glass balls, and Rhina's selection of items for Eina became small rings to attach to her pinky fingers. At least 36,400 astr.

It's too cheap to think of as a thank you so far, but my sister is happy to put her hair fastening on her forehead quickly, and Rhina tied a decorative string to her favorite spear. As for Eina, she looks at the ring on her finger and sneers. That's a really rare sight.

Whatever it is, we all seem to be pleased.

This world does not have the concept of a basic lunch, but instead of lunch we eat lightly in the street and continue to look around the store.

As I walked in wondering if it was clothes next, a loud yell sounded unexpectedly nearby.

"Wait, thief!

Seeing, the Lord of Voices is a large middle-aged man like the master of a bakery. In the direction of shouting, there was a barefoot (dashing) child running with a large bread about half the length of his body......

And before a child who runs desperately, two shadows stand.

"Agoo!

At the next moment, I could hear the child screaming at the same time as the heavy blow.

If you look closely, it was the city guard who stood up, and he struck the child with the spear he had.

The bakery master catches up to a child who nods to the ground and still doesn't let go with bread.

"Thank you. Goddamn it, you little shit!

When the bakery master thanks the guard, he relentlessly kicks the child lying on the ground by making his attitude leopard.

That's not just once, either. Twice, three times. It is a momentum that will likely kill you.

There are a lot of people walking around and no one tries to stop it.

Few people even stopped their legs, rather as if they were not interested.

The guard, too, confirms that the bakery master caught up with him, and then he just walks away saying he left the rest to him. It's as if it's natural that it's happening right now...

I was on my way to the scene when I found out. That's certainly something no thief should do, but that's obviously too much.

Running over, the kid I saw nearby is smaller than Nina when I first met her, she looks about seven or eight years old and has a lean body. I'm not sure if it's a boy or a girl because of my hair stretched out to bosom.

"Um, I'll pay for it, so why don't you forgive the kid?

"Ahem?

He was the master of the bakery who looked at this one uncomfortably at my words, but changed his expression in an instant. Behind me, it must have caught my eye that the Pharos Kingdoms soldiers from the escort were coming after me.

For this city, the Pharos kingdom soldiers are the occupiers.

We have also heard that looting and other things are strictly forbidden by Mr. Eina's order, and a few former Idra Imperial soldiers who broke it have been tied up, but they must still be horrible to the inhabitants of this city.

When I gave the bakery master, who obviously showed the colour of the upset, five copper coins for now because he didn't know the price of the bread, the master took it and went back to the store with the crunch.

When he dropped it off and looked at the child, he stood up with a loaf of bread in his arms and was about to escape into the alley.

"Oh, wait."

That's what I said, but the kid runs away with his legs as fast as he threatened.

"... if you can move that much, I don't think you're seriously wounded."

Eina, who was coming next door at some point, utters that word with a difficult look.

Seeing it, my sister and Rhina also looked complicated, staring at the alley where the child disappeared with a sad look on her face...

"Mr. Eina, is that kid an orphan or something who lost his parents in the war?

"No, to see the pain and stretched hair in those clothes, it won't be oh in the last month or two. I think we've probably been living like that for quite some time now."

"Well, wasn't this city a place rich in food?

"It's a different story about the abundance of food and whether it fairly reaches all inhabitants."

…………

I'm familiar with what Eina says in my original knowledge of the world.

While a lot of leftover dishes could be discarded, the situation where a hungry person fished for garbage (asa) was also evident in developed countries where it was said to be abundant.

"Brother..."

I can hear you right next door, my sister's sad voice.

Moving my gaze, I have a sister looking up at me with tears in her eyes. Oh, if they see me like that, I...

"Eina, I need to talk to you about something."

"I understand. Let's go back to the castle."

The outing, which was fun, ended in a heavy atmosphere, and when we returned to the castle, we were to gather in Eina's office to talk...
