"Huh ..."

That's really troublesome.

Currently, there is a small fire in the village.

In short, it is a conflict between us and the refugees.

However, they are not completely offended. Rather, they can be said to have a good relationship.

Refugee children and children in our village often play together.

From a child's perspective, it doesn't matter who is or is nourished.

And it's complicated, but some kids are ex-brothers. Children are good friends.

Now, adults and us, some are good and the other is unrest.

Due to my blessing, the people in our village have proven to be very capable.

Also, I usually train my sword, and refugees are afraid of seeing it.

She seems to be aware that she is nourished, and she is trying to build a good relationship with him.

Of course I want to build it too.

So I had a spree regularly. It's drinking two applications.

After all, sake seems to be an excellent means of communication and I can talk as it is.

And we try to do military training together.

This is to fight together when King Ferm attacks.

Refugees understand that losing to Ferm is not enough. After all, he was a fugitive from King Ferm.

Good and total slaves, common sense kills all.

So I am working hard on my training. Naturally, it takes life.

If you see that you are training hard, you will feel better. A sense of companion grows.

Ron is good at spears, Rosward is good at swords, and Gram is good at bows.

However, swords and bows are also difficult to handle, so spears are likely to be the main weapon.

After all, it seems good to have a common enemy.

King Ferm ... No, we're living together because of King Ferm.

By the way, the next one is disturbing ... In short, it's a fire.

One is a group of people who don't want to hear what children say.

But when I killed the bear that hit the village with a javelin throw, everyone shut up.

In addition, Ron, Rosward, and Gram have shown their abilities to this extent, and those who have been shown to do so have become guilty.

And Iar seemed to have persuaded me a lot, and this is not really a problem.

Well, it's a minority.

Second, this is the biggest problem.

She wants to make friends with her abandoned child.

There are three other groups besides Lulu.

They seem to want to reconcile with the children and are regularly shaken by the children.

Lulu chilled when he sprinkled with his parents during the feast. Thanks to that, no one could talk for about an hour.

Since there was no help for it, he issued a ban on approaching four former families.

But I really want to reconcile ...

__________________

"I must have ordered you to stay away. What do you mean?"

I look down at the men and women prostrate in front of me.

Lulu's parents.

They wanted to make friends with Lulu, so they secretly escaped from the refugee settlement and went to meet.

But just because you meet, you don't make up for it.

The two were thrown at Lulu's angry stones and prompted by a hawk, but Lulu began to cry as she tried to approach.

In addition, Gramm, who was put in, beat them and stunned them and brought them to me.

Lulu, who has gone through an old wound, is crying with Soyeon and Tetra.

I am a person.

That is why people always give priority.

First, Tetra and Yulia. Next are Ron and Lulu who are younger or will help me. And other children. By the way, Rosward ’s bride ’s rear. This is the line for important people.

I talk to Ial, who organizes the refugees well, so I get along well. It is likely to be promoted to an important person soon.

And the slave who works well. They have been serving me well. They can be called semi-important people.

The next one is King Rossais, who has a good relationship with him, but ... And a Christian merchant, Ains. The favorability has risen a little since they lost when they purchased weapons.

And finally refugees.

My image is not calm because the lowest priority refugees made the higher Lulu cry.

I just want to be honest.

Well I'm glad I hit it.

"Are you open for anything?"

When I ask again, they say they cling.

"Please! Would you please arbitrate?"

Huh ...

I don't seem to reflect on you. what to do.

I just ignored my orders and I have to give them some punishment. Thinking about the future.

But there is no law in our village.

Because I used to live alone with children.

But when I punish me directly, tensions erupt among the refugees.

What should I do……

"You got rid of Lulu's old wound. He doesn't want to see your face. Lulu is hurt just by looking at your face. Do you understand?"

"But we ..."

"It doesn't matter why! You have abandoned Lulu. This is the same. Lulu hates you. This is the same. Give up!"

I just yell.

As I shouted, Iar entered the room.

Iar approached quietly, grabbing and pounding the two chests.

"Hey! Why did you disobey Alms !!!! Do you know what you did?"

"But ..."

Once again, Ial's fist hits his cheek.

And Ial held himself prostrate, holding down their heads.

"I'm sorry. I've punished. Could you ... forgive them?"

"... The next time you do the same, get rid of it.

I say so and leave the room.

Ial's stock went up in me.

It was decided to advance to someone important.

"Hey, Iaal. Actually, I have a request."

"What?"

Me and Tetra walk to Iar.

"You were a village mayor since that area was under Lagou's rule, right?"

"No, then my father was the village chief."

"Is that so? Either way, do you know who is still loyal to Lagou?"

"Every influential person has been executed all over the place ... but the person who was a judge remains as it is."

"Please come in contact with those people, and if they do, would you ask me to respond?"

"Hmm, I just say ... but hope is thin? I don't think we'll win at all."

"I don't mind. If I can be sure that my loyalty to Lagou is genuine, my hatred for Ferm is certain, and my personality can be trusted ..."

I listen to Iar.

"Please reveal that Tetra is Lagou's daughter."

Ial's eyes are wide open.

"Okay, only six people, including you, know this. Never leak. If you do ... do you know?"

"Of course. We don't avenge you for what you helped us, but ... really?"

Well, I don't believe it.

He knows little about Tetra.

that? Speaking of which, I haven't seen any solid evidence.

"Oh, Tetra. Could you show me your sacred character?"

"Roger that"

Tetra says, turns back and raises her clothes a little.

At the waist was a family crest and a sacred letter meaning "wisdom."

"Certainly the crest of the Asu family ... undoubtedly ..."

Iar looks at Tetra's family crest.

Don't look at my bride's back too much.

"I'm sorry. I'll sneak in."

"I'll ask you. You don't have to. You're in trouble if you die."

After all, this is the only person who can control the new residents.

"Please also write a will and your will. Please give me a replacement."

"I can't write Greek?"

"Tetra or I will write it."

___________________

Iar was visiting the kingdom of Ferm.

There are more than a few hundred villages in the kingdom of Ferm, roughly fifty to two hundred.

So there are as many village chiefs.

The village of Iar is the most remote in the kingdom of Ferm, with a small population.

Ial became a village mayor three years ago after his father died suddenly.

So little is known about the face.

Nevertheless, it is better to think that you are famous as a mayor of a village that fled a while ago.

You probably don't have to worry, though, because you're probably dead.

Now, the question is how to get in touch with the A s who may be frustrated with King Ferm.

Ial was aware of humans who might be ass.

The man's name is Boros.

Former family of the Ass family, having repeatedly battled the kingdom of Domorgar.

When King Ferm rebelled, he was on vacation and stayed at home.

That's why I was caught easily.

At first King Ferm tried to kill Boros.

Because Boros's loyalty to Lagou As appeared to be real.

But he could not be killed.

The reason is simple.

Soldiers uprising by Ferm and residents of Boros territory made a petition for help.

Indeed King Ferm cannot be killed if his supporters are pleading for life.

Boros was later allowed to swear loyalty to King Ferm and was relegated to security in a remote area.

Many other tribes have been deemed not to need to be killed for similar reasons or because of their low standing.

The problem is that Boros doesn't know why he has loyalty to King Ferm, either because of his regret or revenge.

But Ial believes that he is almost certainly an Azite.

There are rumors that he is in contact with other allowed clans.

However, rumors only.

King Ferm has not been able to execute because he cannot be confirmed.

He also desperately denies.

That said, you'll have to hang on this.

__________________

First, Iar came to the village where Boros was relegated.

Close to the border with King Domorgar, but of little strategic value.

Such a place.

So Iar dressed as a merchant.

The products are fur and wine from Almus.

First, go to a small mountain right next to the village.

Then climb the tree, which is as high as the fruit is ..... it falls as the villagers pass by.

I forcibly broke my right leg bone.

A kind inhabitant helped him ... and infiltrated the village a bit unnaturally.

Well, he talked about his pseudonym and fake origin to Perapera.

She asked her if she would pay for her own product as a stay and manage to stay until her broken bones healed.

The villagers were greatly pleased with this.

The product he paid for the stay was more valuable than the food cost he consumed.

And Ial contacts Boros via the village chief.

We drank together and became friends.

What I found out was that Boros was a very nice guy.

And watchful.

Even if Iar casually talked about Ferm and Lagou As, he did not complain about him.

However, the expression moves only a little.

Apparently the lie seems bad.

Thus Ial thought Boros was almost certainly an Azite.

However, there is no confirmation yet.

I want more definitive evidence.

But one unexpected thing happened here.

Healing of a broken leg is faster than expected.

It usually takes two months, even if you don't like it.

But in one week, I was able to walk in two weeks.

So Ial lied and sneaked out at midnight to watch Boros secretly, presuming he had not healed.

But I can't go around in front of Boros's house.

Ial sneaking around in the village, holding a crutch.

In the worst case, it was to make an excuse that they could not practice walking.

But evidence is not so easily found.

After all, do you know the danger and put Boros's house ...?

Iar looks at the full moon while thinking so.

And a small shadow crossed before the full moon.

It was invisible to normal human sight, but seemed faint to Ial, who began to be affected by blessing.

The shadow was an owl with a tube-like object tied to its foot.

The owl flew straight to Boros's house.

The official messenger of King Ferm never uses an owl.

In other words ... a fellow Ath, King Rosais, or even Domorgal.

Either way, you're definitely dissatisfied with King Ferm.

Thus Ial had firm evidence.

The next day, Iar went to Boros's house.

"In fact, yesterday I saw an owl while practicing a quiet walk. I tied a letter to my feet."

As Iar said, Boros withdrew his sword almost at the same time.

The sword stops at the end of Iar's neck.

"What do you want to say?"

"Do you want to know where Tetra Ass is?"

Later, Iar said that Boros' face at that time was very spectacular.

___________________

"Are you okay with Almus?"

"That's it"

A poor man with large eyes in front of me. And an old woman with a cane.

Iar is next to it.

And a tetra beside me.

"Are you sure you want to see me?"

"Do you get it"

Tetra turns his back on a large man and turns his clothes on.

The old woman touches the sacred character on Tetra's back. It began to glow.

"No doubt, this is the sacred character and crest I carved on my four-year-old Tetra-sama."

The old woman affirmed.

"Tetra-sama!"

"Wow!"

As soon as the large man saw the crest, he knelt to Tetra's feet.

"I'm sorry for the doubt. But ... good. It was really good !! I haven't had any more happy days since this defeat in Boros!"

Wow, a big adult is crying ...

I'm loved, Lagou. I will visit the grave someday.

"Arms!"

"Wow!"

I suddenly grabbed my shoulder.

Your nails are biting!

Pain, get away from it!

"I'm sorry! Thank you! Thank you very much for protecting your lady so far. All of you and your vassals, including me, will pledge allegiance to you."

"Oh, thank you.

I will give you a handkerchief.

Boros wipes his tears with a handkerchief.

Hey, don't blow your nose!

"But we don't always fight? We have a difference in strength. We avoid fighting as much as possible. You know?"

"Yes, I understand that low wins should not be attempted."

"In that case it's fine"

My goal is to protect everyone, this place.

I don't want to be a king or a royal.

I only do this because it is more advantageous to attach it to the ally.

"But it's a very good facility for a small village."

"I did my best in the pier work. After that I dug a lot of pitfalls and it was completed."

Ten months since then.

It was very hard.

"By the way, is there a secret weapon?"

"Well, do you see it? In fact, it's almost finished."

I take out the black powder prototype NO100.

The hundredth anniversary. I want to succeed.

The ratio is saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal = 75, 10, and 15.

And put it in a sealed container.

At that time it becomes a bomb.

"I've tried and wrote it ninety-nine times. I think this ratio is perfect."

Black powder is easy to make.

But turning it into a killing bomb is very difficult.

It explodes when given a strong impact, but only burns when lit.

Only such a thing is completed.

I put the black powder on the magic circle and put my hand on the magic circle.

The magic circle begins to glow.

This magic circle was developed by Tetra.

The effect is to ignite 5 seconds after playing magic.

I hurry away.

Five seconds elapse.

The roar pierces through the head and the ground shakes.

"Is it a success?"

Look at the site where the explosion occurred.

When the white smoke clears, the scoured ground comes out. It seems that killing power can be expected considerably.

"This is amazing, what a magic?"

"It's not magic. Well, I use some magic."

Boros was showing a slightly frightened look.

A big man is scared. Perhaps it wasn't accumulated from King Ferm's soldiers.

"I'll definitely win with this!"

"Well, how about?"

The area is pretty suspicious.

After all, there are many enemies.

"If there is a war, two months later?"

"Oh, it's the harvest time, so it's just a year. It's likely to come to collecting tribute. This year was colder than usual, so that would be a bad harvest. We don't have any stockpile. "

I really want to make time for another year ...

"Basically, it's an assault after destroying an opponent's row with a bomb."

Phalanx is strong because he is in a solid formation.

If it breaks, it's here.

Phalanx has the disadvantage of not being able to move flexibly.

Moreover, the skill and morale of that soldier are low.

Hopefully he will withdraw before coming to the village if possible.
