We headed to Castel Ame, not Castel Venuro.

We had originally planned to head to Castel Benuro, but we had a medical examination from the other side that it would be difficult to head to the mountainous Castel Benuro, which quickly became a face-to-face meeting at Castel Ame.

Maybe this is our concern, maybe he didn't want to put us in base... I'm not sure about that area.

Ame Castle is a castle city.

The scale is about 400 units, but it is located in the center of the northeast and very convenient for transportation.

It is a commercial town and has the potential to expand even further if there were no walls.

In fact, the poor seem to be building huts outside the walls.

… but it is difficult to say walls.

It is difficult to say that only one part of the walls will be renovated and expanded.

If the position of the wall changes, the arrangement of the towers and guard towers will have to be changed, and there will be a balance as a structure.

It will still need to be broken and rebuilt to some extent.

When this happens, the cost of defense under renovation and construction will be…… considerably more burdensome.

It's a troubling problem inside.

As I was squirming over the bumps and Castle Ame, Jose, with a face that didn't float, spoke to me.

"Um…… may I be present, I ran away from Venuro………"

"Hmm? You were running away?

I was surprised at the sudden shock remark.

Jose ran away... which means he was running away from home.

... you weren't leaving Yen Man... or I thought I was a spy... is that objectively going to mean that I pulled relatives from my allies?

I twist my neck.

It's not illegal, but it's definitely not a complimented act.

"Um, I'll lend you a cheek and a helmet, so put it on."

"Ha, ha"

Serious Jose couldn't disobey my orders and wore them.

The discomfort with fashionable clothing is terrific.

"On the contrary, don't stand out... stop it."

"…… right. I'll discuss it properly with my father."

I laughed bitterly and received my cheek, too.

... I thought you'd be like a masked knight... but you'd be just a pervert if you were actually there...

Somehow I put on the cheeks and helmets I received and the kids looked at this one with a subtle face and talked hisso.

Probably has weird cheeks and helmets on her everyday clothes, but Emma and others seem to blatantly hate it.

"Father again……………"

"Is that where you're meeting Baron Benuro? I don't like it."

"I might be ashamed to walk with you"

The children have no mercy.

I don't want to be with you. It hurts my feelings.

Jose, who has good guidelines, said, "I am irrelevant," and left at some point with his face.

………………

The castle soldiers led us to face the Baron Benuro family in the square.

That's right. I don't wear a cheek or a helmet either.

The Baron and his wife, his son and grandson, Albert, are the only Barons of Benuro.

He says your son's wife, or Albert-kun's mother, is young and in other worlds.

We greet each other.

Albert and Emma were nervous.

What two adorable people.

Albert is 11 years old and unlike our kids, who have a big physique, he has a slightly smaller and more luxurious impression.

He is no different from Simon, who is nine years old.

But blue eyes on a luxurious platinum blonde... will not look bad, at least more than a concomitant handsome face.

I crouched down and looked at Albert's face from the front.

He slipped away with his eyes down whether he was a little nervous or not, but there was no alternative to this.

When you gaze at a skewered variant, most people lose their gaze.

"Albert, can you get along with Emma for me?

"Ah, yes," he answered, a little confused.

"How's Emma?

"Uh, yeah... that"

When I talk to Emma, she's a rare mojo for her grandmother.

... Again, a man is a face...

I laugh and stare at Emma.

"Good for you, that's your type of preference, isn't it?

"Hey, don't be weird!! … Ah."

Emma shouted out loud when I made fun of her, holding her mouth in a hurry.

Because shouting is not the right thing to do as a lady.

"Barrian, come on. I feel sorry for Emma."

Lucienne, who I saw, whispered to Emma, "I don't know."

But Emma wasn't bad and winked and tongued as she gazed at Albert and said, "I did it."

It is called "heppeiro".

It's not a bruise, it's a natural product of a seven-year-old girl.

This seems to have worked, and Albert's face is red.

... Don't do it, Emma...

I felt complicated when I caught a glimpse of the "calculation of a woman" my daughter showed me there.

By the way, Emma is tall at the age, only about 10 centimeters different from Albert.

The little Albert and Emma have just the right balance. We can't help but be aware of each other.

"Heh heh heh, the impression of the first meeting is important... the two of you are going to do well"

"Yes, I thought it would suit you inside."

Baron Benuro and your son are nodding at each other.

"Let's leave the rest to the two younger ones."

"It was. Get out of the way here."

When I spoke of a line like Oba, Baron Benullo took care of it and opened the door.

Albert is a gentleman inside, escorting Emma through all sorts of stories to please her.

Emma looks like she's been totally hit, and if it's a comic book, her eyes are going to be hearty.

... Oh, you're too chowdy with my daughter...

I smiled bitterly and left the place.

... Emma also lusts as a gene in our family... Is there a strong interest in heterosexuality at all...

I thought, "Hmm."

What a complicated feeling that my daughter is choroin.

………………

In the banquet seat, Jose still left it unlocked.

I felt sorry for Baron Benuro, although I would have earned it if he had run away.

"Baron, even though I don't know, I apologize deeply for the fact that I was in the shape of an anonymous (kakuma) Jose who ran away"

When I apologized, the banquet seat wandered a little.

The servants of the Lioncool family look bitter, "the newcomer has shamed the master," and Baron Benuro's servants also look ridiculous, "I've been able to put on a good face".

But you have to be patient about this.

If you don't appeal to "Jose is my minister" in front of everyone, Jose will always remain in a delicate position.

"Hmm, that sounds like foolishness is bothering you... at all, he's having trouble telling me that we're short on manpower."

The baron has a tone to blame Jose for, and he seems to be getting smaller and smaller.

"Many ministers sounded like sounds to Sir Lioncool, please return the foolishness to our home"

"No, I have nothing to give one hand to a person because I have two arms. José de Benuro is a minister who also asks for my right arm. Please forgive me for all that manners."

I take the form of sheltering Jose.

You know enough to force the Baron to return Jose and he won't make it.

This is a long way from me asking for consideration.

"Now that our family and the Baron Benullo have just made a new good, I don't want to break the relationship."

I also went away and said, "Anything you want instead? I asked."

Jose is so serious and competent that he wants to use it, even if he suspects he is a spy.

It is something I would like to hear if it were not so impossible.

"Hum, my house is still understaffed. I'd like some talent."

"Well, that's all in person."

I put my arms together and close my eyes.

If you ask the Brotherhood "who wants to serve Baron Benuro" on this occasion, it is visible that the Brotherhood members are angry that they have been "lighter than Jose the newcomer".

Trade in talent is difficult.

"Then why don't you try to hire a mercenary from El Wagne? If we hire them, the impact on the realm will be enormous… and the trade route."

The Baron's request is for the development of a trading route linking Castel Cokers and Castel Benuro.

The Lioncool side has asked to have this.

You may think that for one Jose... but if Lioncool holds Jose, he will fall out of the topography of Baron Benuro and even the positional relationship of the fortress.

In case both houses go to war, this advantage is huge.

Besides, the expansion of the trading route will benefit Lioncool as well, a plan that was originally planned.

There is no choice but to increase the burden somewhat.

"I understand about the street. Let me also talk about El Wagne. Again, please send a messenger from the Baron."

The baron nods "That and" and opens his mouth.

I reacted pickly to Baron Benullo's words.

...... is there anything else yet?

I wondered if there would be any difficulty yet.

"The fool has left his wife…… please order the fool to take it away"

I was surprised at the unexpected Baron's words.

It is also my idea to leave my wife behind and say that Baron Benullo will hand over a possible hostage wife to Jose.

"Jose, did you leave your wife and run away?

"Yes," Jose replied briefly.

His tension seems to be coming through.

I can't help it.

When sending spies to other territories, it is good to be wary of treachery and take hostages from spies.

If Jose was a spy, it would be natural for the Baron to take his wife hostage from Jose, and Jose would have wanted him protected in a safer place to take his wife on a mission.

In other words, it reinforces the suspicion that he was a "spy" to say that he had left his wife behind.

It is also mean of Baron Benuro to say it on this occasion.

But it doesn't prove that this is a spy.

At this stage, in my opinion, it's almost possible that he was a spy.

"Jose, take care of your family. I don't like to abandon my family. And then... my trust is unshakeable with triviality. Don't worry about it."

Jose lowered her head and replied briefly, "Ha."

The surrounding area is slightly noisy.

"That's a tolerant thing. Sir Lioncool imagined a fiercer samurai."

I said that the Baron hated it, but it doesn't change my mind.

That's not why I'm changing my attitude toward my men.

"Yeah, if you can't believe it, don't use it, once you believe it, you don't doubt it... it's natural."

My servants are happy to snort at my words.

"My lord does not doubt my men, not even my newcomers. Then you can trust us with the score."

This is how they felt.

Originally, they thought I was the type to take care of my people.

"Jose, talk to the Baron well. Orders."

I said so and left the place.

And then I want you to talk to me inside.

………………

After a while, at some point, the banquet seat also returned to liveliness.

Looks like the kids are making a scene when they look into the corner of the hall.

It looks like Emma is standing between Simon and Albert and protesting against Simon in some way.

Apparently, Simon was involved with Albert.

And Emma's eating and hanging on Simon.

Robert is somewhat unlocked.

… You can't talk about what a child does……

I grinned and looked at the baron.

Soon Albert-kun's father seems to be talking to each other.

It wasn't a sinister atmosphere, but a little relief.

After this, Jose, who served Lioncool with both his fame, entertains the new Benuro family in Lioncool as the second class of the Baron Benuro family.

His child was seven years old and after this he was to join as one of Robert's alumni.

………………

The bridesmaid's street back home was already an autumn outfit.

The itinerary departed waiting for the spring snow melt also comes to an end.

Confirm with each lord the development of the trading route, which is the purpose of this journey, and there are no particular problems.

There are streets that have already begun to be maintained, and the profit-savvy Ulu artisans are beginning to move.

I also saw Emma's fiancée, Albert-kun's face.

He said he was handsome inside and Emma, who had become impatient, snatched her lips in a pushdown mood... but she's just a kid there.

The damage should have been about velochu.

Emma is carnivorous about who she looks like...... yeah, just trying to say.

A new friend named Baron Albor was made, and octopus dried could become a traded product as a new ingredient.

We started crossbowing, and we decided to export weapons.

As always, Lucienne was screaming at the bugs in her solon settlement on her way home, but she did something like, "Ah, that's horrible" while holding onto Roland Causey.

It looks like the same heroine physique.

Smina gave birth to a girl and Chiara also lived a new life.

This is how my 27-year-old passes.

Breaking this peaceful time was the news from Rudolph brought in at the turn of the year.
