"Hey, Admiral. Are you sure you can beat the Memento family?

"What the hell, Vargas? Don't say that again after you leave."

"Because anyone would think so. There's 40,000 troops in the Memento family, right? Besides, they're saying they have 100,000. Everyone will wonder. I was wondering if we could really beat the Barca army with 2,500 or so battles."

"Well, if you do it normally, you can't win."

"Don't you think? I'm talking about the Admiral. I thought you had an idea. What are you gonna do?

"Whatever you say, keep going with the army and assault the Memento family. That's all there is to it."

"... there are no measures?

"I do. I mean, the measures to fit the Memento family are already activated. I guess I'm losing my ability to move properly by now, huh?

"Are the measures already active? Could it be you're saying the other day that the Admiral himself lit the Memento Army pantry?

"That's right. At that time, besides lighting the fire, measures are being taken. Maybe it's working."

"... hey, I knew you were going to attack me from the start, Admiral. So, what kind of measures did you use?

"It's easy. I just did the same thing when the dog man who nested in the mine got rid of him."

"What? Is that a dog man? Of the demon extermination of the iron mine in the Knights of Baltic with a part-time job?... I'm sure you used poison.

"Correct. Perhaps the Memento family will be wandering around with poison by now. I thought it would be just right for me to buy some time, but it's also time to attack. That's why we went out."

Barca Army 2500 marches toward the army of the Memento family.

Vargas, who commands that army, rushed over here to talk to me.

Apparently, I'd like to know what you're going to do to me about setting this number up against an overwhelming opponent.

Thank you for following me without complaining when I go out and listening to me on the move after I leave like this.

Without wasting any time, he began to give Vargas an overview of the operation.

I built a new airship and used it to scout the Memento army.

The airship itself was able to operate properly, flying well into the sky to get a full picture of the opponent.

And he burned the gathering point where he was gathering food to slow the Memento family down.

But I couldn't cook all their food.

Sometimes the magic used in the magic of ice used to bake has bottomed out.

But that's not why I didn't do anything to the food I couldn't cook.

Other foods were sprayed with poison.

Memento family who lost nearly half of their military food.

Carlos said a house as big as the Memento's could cover temporarily lost food, but it would be just as difficult to respond immediately.

While I manage to eat with the remaining food, I collect food from my surroundings against the backdrop of overwhelming power.

I think that's about all we can do.

That's why I sprinkled the leftover food with poison.

Perhaps the soldiers of the Memento army are eating the poisoned food.

Just like the dogs who lived in the mine.

We split the food we thought was safe, and we're all eating it.

But normally, if you have burned food and leftover food, I think it's something that the rest of you would risk as well.

Especially this time because a mysterious flying object went through the sky and sprayed something.

The Memento family should be careful.

But still, I believe that there is a good chance that this poison spraying operation will succeed.

Because there are "safety myths" in this world that did not exist in previous life.

It's an intense imprint on most people's perception that "food is safe if it's not rotten".

In this case, whether it is rotten or not is determined by color, odor, etc.

In other words, foods that are not discoloured or do not smell rotten are considered safe.

Why is that?

In fact, this perception was heavily related to the [cleansing] of life magic given by the Church.

The magic of [washing] is the magic of removing dirt from the subject.

Use [washing] on people's bodies to be clean and clean enough that they don't need to take a bath.

Conversely, as long as the house is [cleaned], it will be as clean as new in no time.

And this [washing] was also used for food relations.

Food is [cleaned] before it is cooked and all dirt that affects the human body is removed.

I'm not sure how right that actually is because I haven't been able to make a microscope yet, but in my previous experience, the food I cooked after using [wash] never caused food poisoning.

Most of the time, it is different if the food itself is old and rotten.

Rotten enough to smell bad for the human body even if [cleaned].

This means that food can smell and if it doesn't smell rotten, [wash] it will be safe to eat.

Actually, that also serves as a countermeasure to poison.

Unless you eat the original poisonous food itself, the poisoned food is almost safe if you [wash] it and then cook it, and also [wash] the dishes.

In other words, it was common sense in this world to think that there was nothing wrong with some substance being sprayed from the airship, even if it [washed] on top of their own military food.

But what I sprayed was poison that slipped through its [cleaning] effect.

I was working with Meme on the magic of [poison deactivation] as a way to deal with poison, and I was taught the existence of poison that could be poisoned by ignoring such [cleaning] action.

The most poison could only be obtained under very rare conditions, and should not have been available in large quantities.

but it was possible in Barca to prepare it.

Whatever you're hiding, the secret was in my brother Kyle.

It was made possible by Kyle's covenant with the tree spirits in the North Forest.

It was also possible to mass produce special poisonous grass that neglected the action of [washing] and had a poisonous effect, if it were a tree spirit.

Most of all, it's not that strong of a poison if you have a low intake.

Something that causes symptoms of belly down for a while at best, continued diarrhea, and dehydration.

I thought it could be used to buy time to keep the Memento family from moving, and it was loaded on the airship.

Is it possible that the Memento family, unlike the dogs, does not have to eat food covered with poison?

"Dear Ars, I have been contacted by the preceding reconnaissance unit. Apparently, the Memento army is moving very slowly."

"I wonder if the measures are haunted, Vargas. The opponent is moving slowly. Should be able to fill the difference in numbers. Let's go."

"You're still a livestock, Admiral. Well, does that feel like it? All right, all continue to the Admiral. I'll beat the Memento Army."

"" "" "Whoa!

Thus Barca attacked the army of the Memento family, who could not move.
