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

About two weeks have passed since the Oliviers returned home from the shrine of Mechia.

The Eighth Army, led by Olivia, departed King Phis. It had arrived in the fortified city of Emlead via the city of Saince Para on the Fitz Street. This is to be based in Emlead until a major offensive operation is launched. Olivia was on Central Street with Ashton to keep her promise of the past ─ ─.

"You've got a lot of energy back here."

It won't go as far as before the war, but there are a lot of people in the streets compared to the last time I visited. It is difficult to find stalls that were closed now. What's more, it was impressive how people walking with darker expressions were shopping with brighter faces.

"The shop wasn't open at all when I came here."

Olivia is losing face with the food she bought at the stall. We are recapturing the Kingdom's largest barn as a result of the retreat of the Imperial Army that nested in the north. This has probably had an impact on the significant improvement in the food situation.

Moreover, I have heard that once merchants who no longer limit themselves to the kingdom have gradually begun to return. Although the situation surrounding the Farnest kingdom was still harsh, it was clear that it was definitely heading in a good direction.

"By the way, I've been eating without hesitation for a while, but you know I'm paying for it, right?

"I don't know how to spend my money."

"No, you're never going to remember, are you?

Olivia is smart. That's why you can read academic and medical books with care. That said, I still don't know how to spend the money.

"That's not true. I tried to remember."

Olivia shouted "uhhh" and "uhh", claiming that she tried at the same time with a huge gesture.

Ashton sent a warm gaze to Olivia.

(I don't suppose you mistake the way money is spent for salary or something. Someone in the world can call and learn how to spend money....)

With Ashton stunned, Olivia gladly started raiding new stalls. Ashton, who exhaled a huge sigh, headed down to Olivia, asking him to "hurry up."

After that, she was walking along with Olivia's grocery shopping, and she saw someone she knew raise a powerful voice over the stall.

Olivia soon realized that she was heading for the stall for a short run.

Auntie!

……

The called aunt ran out of the stall and hugged Olivia, stroking her head over and over again.

"It's good to be alive....."

"... Auntie, it's painful"

The aunt hugged Olivia even harder.

It's painful ~

"Ahahah! This is what worried my aunt."

After a while, the aunt who liberated Olivia turned to Ashton.

"Looks like you protected her."

"Yes, for now."

Ashton replied in a deceptive manner. It is we who are actually protected, but it's not like we can't read enough air to talk about it.

The aunt nodded with satisfaction and turned to Olivia.

"When the Major said he was going to chase the Imperial Army away, I was honest with him... but he didn't really do it..."

"Now your aunt won't cry anymore."

Olivia smiled at Nishi.

"... thank you. ─ ─ By the way, you're wearing an unfamiliar uniform."

"Oh, this? I've changed because I've risen in rank."

"Really?

When she whispered Olivia's rank to an aunt looking strangely at Olivia's whole body, she began to gaze at Olivia's collar after a faint expression.

"... are you sure you've become a general...?"

The aunt, who quickly turned to Ashton's collar, said, "You too," and finally took a big breath.

Well, there's been a lot since then.

I guess so. You were a Warrant Officer anyway, and you've become a major in a short time. I've heard rumors of a recent Royal Army victory, but... you're all involved, right?

Ashton was honest when he decided that he couldn't talk about military secrets, but he had to ask questions of that magnitude. The aunt seemed to know the situation and didn't ask any further questions.

"I came all the way here to see you, and my aunt needs to get excited."

After clapping her hands on bread and returning to the stall with pride, the aunt filled the bags with Emreed's specialty yakitori skewers. Not only that, I started packing round food in another bag that I didn't have the last time I came. Looking at the standing signs placed, it was written, "Emreed's new specialty, Tontoro-yaki".

"Yes, Auntie's prized grilled skewers and thick scallops. Eat it carefully so that it doesn't burn because the contents are creamy."

That said, the aunt gave Olivia a bag that she couldn't hold in both hands.

"Thank you!"

Despite thanking Olivia, there's still no sign of giving her money. I didn't carry it with me in the first place, so I couldn't get it out.

Ashton asked his aunt with a big sigh.

"How much is it?

To Ashton, the aunt turned steep.

"Don't say wild things. You kept your promise to me, and you came all the way to see me while I was busy. That's enough."

"I don't know what to say, but I wouldn't spend money on an opportunity like this. So please take it."

Ashton, who took the gold bag out of her pocket, forced her to hold the gold in her palm, and the aunt began to get angry with an incredible sword.

"Hey! You don't want me ─!?

"Well, it's time to go home. If it's too late, General Blood will kill you."

Ashton dared ignore her and pushed Olivia's back.

"Yeah."

"Wait a minute! ─ ─ Even if I were to accept it without your manners, there would be too many gold coins."

Ashton pondered when he stopped.

"Well, think of it as a thank you for cheering Olivia up."

"─ ─ Soon you started to look like a Han."

"I was a man from the beginning?

"Hmm. Your face is too nice for a soldier. It would be better if it was just your mouth."

"... thank you for coming, Olivia."

Auntie, I'll see you again

Olivia waves her hand loudly to say goodbye, and the aunt waves her hand back. Looking up at the sky, the blue sky continued to spread.
