Shinigami ni Sodaterareta Shoujo wa Shikkoku no Ken wo Mune ni Idaku

The castle city of Emrid is divided into three sections due to its nature as a major impact. Residential compartments inhabited mainly by people and warehouse compartments temporarily storing cereals, etc. harvested in the north.

And it's a military compartment with garrison equipment and so on.

One of its military installations. The two men who came out of the barracks were walking through the military section and stepping into the neighborhood - Central Avenue - where there were many outdoor shops, even in the residential section.

"Ashton, there's plenty of shops, but there aren't many people."

Olivia says as she looks over the dewstore with interest. He said he was a busy street with quite a few people before the war, but now he's less than half of them.

It seemed to Ashton that the people on the road also had a somewhat dark expression.

"I don't have a choice. What is this time of year?

Olivia, who has been next door until now, disappeared at some point. I saw Olivia in Ashton's eyes, who hastily searched, not making it slight in front of the dewstore.

A fragrant smell drifts through Ashton's nose at the same time as he breathes a ho.

"Don't go away on your own. You'll worry about it."

"Ashton, I want this"

Ashton complaining over his shoulder, but Olivia fingers the skewer without giving it back at all. Apparently, food soaked with a sweet sauce in the bird meat.

"It's Emreed's specialty. Eat it because it's delicious."

With that said, a well-deserved aunt has wielded a loving smile.

"You want to eat, even though it hasn't been an hour since you had breakfast?

"Yeah! Because it's a growing season!

"Yep... ha... how much is it?

Towards Ashton, who reluctantly took the gold bag out of his nostrils, his aunt answered the errand.

One silver coin at a time.

"High!?... Isn't it expensive, no matter how much? For once, I'm a merchant's son, so you know about the market, don't you?

Dewstores sometimes change prices depending on the customer. I had noticed that my aunt was looking right at this chest.

So much so that there's a military section, the military should be used to seeing it. It's not strange to be able to identify a class by looking at a collar badge.

"Mr. Associate Lieutenant. Nothing. I'm not looking at the ranks and plunging them. In the first place, do you really think you can imitate a soldier like that?

"Huh!?

When Ashton is surprised that he was lightly spotted, he sighs like his aunt was frightened.

"Huh. The Associate Lieutenant would also know if he was the merchant's son. how valuable food is right now."

Without having to tell my aunt, Ashton also understands that food is worth as much. It's just too expensive to compare to the Wang Du market.

If you're not plucked, there's only one reason. The repercussions of being subdued by the Northern Army have already extended throughout the north. That's what you should think.

Ashton took two pieces of silver out of the gold bag and offered it to his aunt.

"I'm sorry to say something I doubt. Its skewered, please two (...)"

"Haha, I'm sorry I kind of got you worried the other way around"

My aunt has been giggling and offering skewers. When Olivia receives it with a full smile, she is quickly wearing it.

My aunt stares at the look with tender eyes. An eye that feels like watching my daughter, if you like.

"Major, are you delicious?"

"Yeah! It's delicious!

When Olivia answers well, her aunt breaks up with her.

"Well... when I asked you if the Imperial Army had attacked me, I thought no more, but you guys got rid of me, didn't you? It's a face I don't see around here."

"Well, for once, yes"

"I knew it. Aside from the Lieutenant General, the Major would still be a child... yes fine, will this country perish too"

My aunt squeaks bossly, looking somewhere far away. I don't know if he realizes it, but the current language is a case of conflict with the Order Control Act. If the gendarmerie had listened, they would have been forcibly taken.

Ashton dared to pretend he hadn't noticed. It can't be normal for a girl to be on the battlefield. So I also know how to make you feel at risk.

After finishing the first skewer, Olivia spoke with a serious stare at her aunt's face.

"Is your aunt sad if the kingdom dies? Full of tears?

"Right. There are a lot of problems, but I knew it was a country where I was born and raised. If it's gone, it'll be like a tear."

"Hmmm...... but I'm fine. Because we'll get rid of the Imperial Army in the north. So your aunt won't cry."

Olivia rolls up her sleeves and makes her try to make a force kobu. Then the aunt started laughing luxuriously as she rocked her big belly.

"Haha! Is that so? Will the Majors get rid of the Imperial Army? Then I'm looking forward to that day."

When the aunt packed all the skewers she was baking into a bag, she forcefully handed them to Olivia. Olivia is keeping her eyes closed in front of the massive skewering suddenly given to her.

"Huh!? Are you sure?"

"Oh, take it all. Instead, will you promise me one thing for this aunt?

"Promise? It's okay. Because the Imperial Army will get rid of them."

"It's not."

So when I cut the word, my aunt holds Olivia's hand.

"Never die."

That's just a word I hope Olivia's okay. Olivia gave him a full grin after giving him a surprised look.

"Yeah! I promise I'll never die. If I die, I won't be able to eat any delicious rice or sweets. And this skewer."

With that said, Olivia pampers the second skewer with luxury. Ashton was simply surprised. It's the first time Olivia's made promises to people.

Besides, I haven't met enough people yet.

I honestly don't know what kind of behavioral philosophy this weird girl is based on. Maybe he still just made promises on a whim.

Still, Ashton was happy to somehow feel Olivia nearby.

Say goodbye to your aunt and walk to where you should be heading.

"Hey, where are you going after all?

"Well, well, shut up and follow me,"

Asking Olivia as she threw the skewers one after the other into her mouth, Ashton urges her to go ahead without indicating where she was going. Through Central Avenue, some narrow alleys along the way, I could see where I was going.

"Here we are, Olivia"

Boneless brick building in front of you. If you don't notice the little sign that's securely placed, no one will think it's a store.

Fact is Ashton also made his first visit by bareback in front of the store many times.

"What is this... a blacksmith?

Ashton opens the store door with Olivia on her ass calling out like she's confused. What I saw in my eyes was a large shopkeeper waving a hammer in the center of the room.

"I'm sorry, but I can't take orders right now..."

"Do you have what you asked for?

"Oh, what can I say for myself, but I think I could make quite a delicacy. Wait a minute."

The shopkeeper laughed niggardly and once he pulled into the back of the store, he immediately came back with his armor. It is a black and dark armor with a fine silver print.

The left shoulder and chest are engraved with the Valedstorm family crest. Ashton nods loudly at the finish as ordered.

"That's what you sometimes call Emreed's best blacksmith. Perfect."

"I was just flattering you, and I'll get the rest of the money."

"Naturally. Good things need to be worth the price."

"Hmm. You know why you're so young."

The owner lifts the edge of his mouth slightly. Olivia, who saw the armor, had opened her mouth with Pokhan.

"Ashton, what is this..."

"We're going to have a real fight, right? No matter how strong Olivia is, it doesn't necessarily mean she won't continue to suffer from hand injuries. So think of some sturdy armor."

"Oh, strength guarantees. It's made from multiple layers of thinly stretched steel. There should be no problem with some attacks."

The store owner explains it so as to capture Ashton's words.

"I also tried to match the color with the sword. I hope you like it."

"... can I touch it?

"It's a good decision. It's Olivia's armor."

Grabbing both of Olivia's confused shoulders makes her stand in front of the armor placed on her desk. Olivia starts touching her armor with a serious look she rarely shows.

(Well, there's also a reason blood isn't noticeable when it comes to color. Something tells me the recruit sees Olivia bloodstained and scares the hell out of her)

Ashton was horrible at first too. So the more painful I know how recruits feel.

"Thank you, Ashton! It's so cool and I really liked it!

Olivia turns a smile that's going to take her soul away. The shopkeeper laughed slightly as he coughed and misled his face getting hot at once.

"Ah what. Glad you like it."

"Let's go home to the barracks! I need to show Claudia!

As soon as I give the rest of the money to the store owner, they hold my hand and pull me gooey. Until I got home, the shop owner's sneering laughter never subsided.
