"This is awesome. It's so warm, Ars."
"Pfft. Thank you, brother Byte. This new down jacket can only be made in Barca so far. Because Barca is the only servant beast of raw materials."
"Heh, don't you even go to the city? You can often make something like this pompous, you. Even a sweater made of goat hair surprised me."
"Winter's really hard. Truth be told, I want to live at a constant temperature all year."
"No, you can't do that. It can't be real. You're still thinking like a dream."
Duvet made for Lilina.
And now I've turned the hair of the servant beast I used for that duvet into a down jacket.
I finished a pretty thick mockingbird down jacket, but I could do something pretty warm as I thought.
Now I'm just giving it to my part-time brother to try it on and ask him what he thinks.
At first he was a part-time brother who looked at that down jacket that was too mockingbird and too big, but when he actually wore it, he could understand how good it was.
But you might also find that it's nice to be warm, but it doesn't look a bit stylish.
You look fat somehow.
Maybe you should consult with the craftsmen to see if you can make the design a little more stylish.
When I was thinking so much about the design of fudge clothes, I remembered something else.
It is a kind of coat to be worn in winter, but it is also designed to be worn as a fashion in future generations, even though it was also used for military purposes.
I kind of remembered about the trench coat.
How about I make a long trench coat with a dresslina that has a knee length or so?
Attaching belts and the like that make sure to tighten the waist part from the top of the coat will also allow people of all body sizes to wear them, and more importantly, would it be cool if they wore them in uniform and in the military?
Dresslina I made to combat people's mobility due to the earthquake, but at the moment I'm making just T-shirt-like clothes that aren't that difficult.
This is giving needle work to people who have moved to a new city starting from scratch, so as things stand, they were still making simple structural clothes.
Most of the clothes made in Dresslina were decided to be used in the Fontana army, and they also give feedback on their opinions to make them as durable as possible.
But I thought it might be time to move on to the next step.
That's what I thought. I quickly started moving to get my trench coat imagery up on paper for artisans to see.
"Really, you're the same, Ars is. Basically, you're always doing something to make something."
"Maybe. Well, it's like half a hobby."
"More than that, do me a little sword opponent. I want to move my body."
"... you can't say much about me, either, my part-time brother. If I had time, I'd fight."
"That's right. I don't know when the next battle will begin. You know, working out really well from time to time."
"No, it's just not rampant enough."
When I paint a clothes design proposal on a piece of paper, my part-time brother pinches his mouth as he looks at it.
I also feel kind of nostalgic for this exchange.
When I used to do field work and stuff for a long time, I jumped right out into fights and tried to fight me too.
It's been a long time since I've been invited to do that, and I somehow miss it.
Considering when this was the first time, that was obviously since Bite Brother gained his independence as a territory called the Knights of Baltic.
Both Vulcania and the city of Fontana were to have territory far away, so my brother and I had less time to face each other in the extreme.
Occasionally, when I went to Bartonia, where I have a part-time brother, I basically prioritized you because I have work to do.
So it's been a long time since I've had a training invitation to come out when I have a little time left like this.
Well, that could be another little bit in the future, too.
Now it is only to spend one New Year's celebration here that my Bite brother is in this city of Fontana.
but until last year i would have returned to my territory as soon as the year dawned and it was time to be able to travel, but from now on it will be gone too.
Because Bartonia and I are already able to come and go in an instant with a transfer stone.
This means that from now on, my part-time brother and I will have more opportunities to work together in the city of Fontana, just like before.
It means the family ties are deeper thanks to the transfer stone.
"Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask you, Ars, wasn't that holy sword you have dedicated to the Church?
"Hmm? Oh, this. I've already given this to you. He said I was using the Holy Sword to serve the Church once."
"Am I? Can you do that? 'Cause it was the Holy Sword who asked you, the Trinity Alliance, to discuss it and present it to that reward. Then wouldn't that holy sword be handed over to church headquarters?
"Haha. I promised the Archbishop that I would give the Holy Sword to the Church if I succeeded in holding talks between the three noble alliances. That's what I protect with my chickens."
Instruct the craftsman to send the trench coat drawings, then go out under the cold sky with his part-time brother and start moving his body.
That's when Brother Byte asked me about the holy sword I had in my hand.
The Holy Sword Gran Barca was determined to serve the Church.
but with it I rolled out to the battlefield, and I still possess it myself.
It is Brother Byte's question what the hell is this all about.
The answer is really simple.
I gave the Holy Sword to the Church, as I promised the Archbishop.
but it didn't send the Holy Sword to the Archbishop who asked for the job, it gave it to another archbishop.
Who the hell is that, then, is Archbishop Paul, who was newly promoted to Archbishop this year, and yet even received his Saint's Certification?
Archbishop Paul, who received the Holy Sword, left the safekeeping to me, however.
Because the new church building for Archbishop Paul is still under construction and is not fit to keep the Holy Sword.
So where is the safest place to keep it, isn't it best under the Holy Knight in Fontana?
With all due respect, I still possess the Holy Sword myself.
Although I said this would serve the Church, I took advantage of the fact that I had not made it clear where to store the Holy Sword or who would receive it.
From the main point of view, it is the flow to give it to the Archbishop who requested the realization of the talks, but no one thought that a new archbishop would be born on Fontana territory afterwards.
But speaking of archbishops, they amount to quite a few executives in the Church.
Even if Archbishop Paul is the Holy Sword's destination, his position is not strange.
Well, in a few moments, I can have a second and third iron slaughter sword.
Whatever. Besides, if Archbishop Paul performs the ritual of cleansing, it is no dream either to create a new holy sword.
Sooner or later, if you hand over the second or third holy sword to the church, you will not complain.
That's why Archbishop Paul and I had a system in place where I could legally take the Holy Sword to the battlefield.
"... you're really the same. You and Paul."
When I heard my explanation, my part-time brother was frightened like, "Oh, man."
But that's how normal it is.
If anyone knew him that high up close, anyone would do this much.
I'm not bad.
With that in mind, it was the first time in a long time that I sweated in a mock fight with my brother Bite.
