"I see the army just stopped by for march training after a village visit."

"Yes, as usual, my father only accompanied Mr. Isaac on a village visit, and the army went back to Isteria. Everyone in the village stood around so well that nothing went wrong."

Under a clear sky, Ichiyoshi was receiving yesterday's report as he walked with Barletta toward the riverside where Waterwheel 2 was installed.

In Barletta's story, he apparently managed to overcome this disturbance successfully.

There were some noisy suggestions from the villagers, but it seems that Barletta's drive was able to guide the villagers successfully, making it easier.

Apparently Isaac has heard a lot about the water wheel and the crop, so an order may be made to report to Isteria in detail on how the water wheel is manufactured and how it is farmed in the near future, but that will have no choice.

"Good...... but perhaps Mr. Barletta will be summoned to Isteria to explain how to build a water wheel...... sorry I seem to have let something replace me"

"Oh, don't apologize like that! I've been helping a lot of Kazra so far, so it's so cheap for you. Plus, I'll do my best to get back to you as soon as I'm called in."

As they walked talking about it, they reached the waterway where Waterwheel 2 was installed.

The waterwheel is not moving now because yesterday Barletta has closed the watergate separating the river from the waterway with a wooden plank.

As Barletta quickly approached the side of the water wheel, she peered into the area of the axis.

"It's the part of this axis, but I think I've polished it down while I'm using it..."

In place of Barletta, who said so, Ichigo peered into the part of the axis as he stood in front of the water wheel.

"Which... uh, this is wearing off a lot. Glad I noticed before the shaft broke."

Ichigo checks the pain on the axle of the water wheel that is stopping him from moving, opens the college notebook he had in one hand and writes a note with a red pen on the picture of the water wheel painted inside.

They say that if we don't take any action on this early, Waterwheel 2 won't be of use.

"After all, should I reinforce either the shaft or the bearing with metal or something... I could bring the copper from Japan, but I guess I should use what I bought in Isteria"

If bronze or pure copper could be processed into a reinforcement material, there would be no problem in counteracting wear caused by rotational friction of the shaft.

If it's true, it's quicker to bring the ingredients themselves from Japan as well, but you might want to go to Isaac and Isteria's officials to buy the ingredients, albeit hassle-free, in case they're questioned.

"When it comes to processing in the village, we have to build a slightly larger furnace. The village only has a small furnace to use for fleas and other repairs...... ugh!?

Ichiyoshi, who was writing a note on his college notebook looking at the axes of the water wheel, looked back at Barletta, who suddenly stuffed the words behind him, saying something.

"How's the water wheel?

……

Ichiyoshi, looking back, was stunned by the appearance of three soldiers who suddenly appeared.

Barletta is also shivering small as she stares at the commander-style man standing in front of her - Isaac.

Isaac asks the two of them. The tone is familiar, but the eyes that look at them are out of cold.

While doing so, two soldiers, who had refrained behind Isaac, moved to surround both sides of Ichigo and Barletta.

"Who are you? I'm not a resident of Grisea Village."

When Isaac confirmed that his men were going around beside the good guys, he looked directly into the good eyes and questioned them.

One good thing about being stuffed was that it was only in the beginning when I saw the soldiers in front of me that my thoughts had stopped at the sudden events, but on the contrary I regain a little calm after seeing Barletta trembling beside me.

From the circumstances, these soldiers seemed to have staked out in anticipation of Ichigo's appearance in this place.

I can't give the answer to that question right now as to why they sniffed out a good existence, but we have to do something to break this situation of absolute destiny.

If I don't say them well, not only for the best, but the village of Gricea itself will find itself in a pretty bad situation.

Instead of Barletta, who is in a state of panic in front of her, she has to do something about it.

"A., Isaac, this one..."

Shut your mouth.

Isaac stares at Barletta for trying to pinch his mouth, silencing him without question, and once again looks straight at Ichigo.

"Answer now. Or is it also why you can't seem to answer?

Ichigo looks at the man staring at himself.

"(Is this guy Isaac? You're so young)"

and figure out how to answer it for a few seconds, thinking about what you're comfortable with.

If Isaac in front of you is who he was as the village chief or Barletta had told him, there is still going to be a little salvation.

It would be unlikely that it would not lend an ear to a good story and suddenly become something like tied neck.

Nevertheless, there is no difference in the critical situation.

"... I am a traveling merchant. As we wandered around the area, we reached the village of Grisea, where we were allowed to live for a little while."

When Ichigo answered that, Isaac didn't even look particularly surprised, and turned his gaze to the college notes that Ichigo had in one hand.

"Merchant...? Shall I show you the book in your hand?"

Ichigo gave Isaac the college note he had, and he said and smiled softly to Barletta, who stared at herself in a frightened manner next door, okay.

When Isaac received the note, he stroked the cover with his fingers and roared small on its paper, then rolled the whole page.

"... a blueprint for a water wheel? It says something else... you're the one who designed this waterwheel?

"Yeah, that's right."

"I've never seen the letters in this book, but what country are you a merchant from?

It was a good thing I was about to smile to calm Barletta down, but I'm not likely to come up with any good maneuvers in this short time.

When I first came to the village, as I said to the villagers, 'I am a merchant,' I answered in a locational way, but even if I tried to deceive you badly like this, things would just go in the wrong direction.

Apparently, we need to brace our bellies here.

"From the world behind the forest in the village of Grisea, do you understand?

"... what?

To an unexpected answer, Isaac asked unexpectedly.

The two soldiers surrounding the Good Guys, what are you talking about? This guy has a good look at things like that.

With such a glance at them, Ichigo took a small, deep breath and opened his mouth looking straight at Isaac.

"I said I'm from the world of God. To save the people of this village of Grisea."

……

That's a good answer, Isaac and the others looked at each other.

I see confusion in the response that I didn't expect.

In front of them like that, Ichigo is truly magnificent on the surface, but he sweats inside for unfamiliar behavior.

If I can go back to the village and show Isaac some of the tools that Ichirano is bringing in from Japan, I'm sure I can convince him to be the 'man of God's world' without saying whether or not he is, but all I have now is a notebook and a ballpoint pen.

Isaac, with a strange face, opened his mouth, wondering if Yi Liang would be convinced if he went back to the village for now and showed it on his cell phone as well.

"You just said that if you were a merchant and wandered around here, you would have reached the village. What you're saying doesn't fit."

"... that is the Aya of the Word. Even the merchants of God's world can get lost. I was lost trying to come to the village of Grisea and wandered in the woods for a little while."

It was a good thing that I was pointed out the inconsistencies in my remarks and answered that way to my misery, but to observe from Isaac's expression, it seems to be fuelling extra distrust.

"No, you just lived in the village..."

"Ho, it's true! This one is Master Graciol, who came from the world of God to save the village!

When Isaac opened his mouth again to poke at the contradiction of a good word, Barletta pinched his mouth so that he could cover it.

I guess you just didn't think this flow was good.

… the important word Graciol pops up, and I don't feel that any more inconsistencies have arisen.

"Gre... what?

"It's Master Graciol!

"Are you saying that this man is Master Graciol?

"Yes!

When Baretta affirmed so, Isaac sighed deeply in a callous manner.

"... you didn't know Master Gracior was a merchant"

"... ah"

"No, you also do business in God's world..."

Ignoring the good that he also tries to fix, Isaac tells the soldier standing beside the good

"Tie this man's arms up."

I was ordered to.

In the quiet woods, the deputy secretary, who received a report of a preaching from Isaac, had gathered his men's soldiers around him to give instructions.

The faces of the soldiers being instructed are stiff and they all seem to be uniformly nervous.

"Our aim is to keep the villagers inside the house. Instructions are to turn the message as soon as the captain returns, so don't leave your quarters until then."

"Deputy Director"

When the deputy explained so, one soldier raised his hand.

"In case the villagers resist, could I hurt him a little with this one?"

Saying so, the deputy shook his head and showed the soldier the short spear he held in his right hand.

"No. Don't commit an immediate assault just because you have taken a somewhat disobedient attitude. Try to convince me to push it inside the house. If there's nothing you can do, you can call me."

When the deputy said so, the colour of dissatisfaction appeared on the faces of the majority of the soldiers.

The army, which is also aristocratic, wonders why we must treat the peasants with such politeness.

Even as a deputy officer man, assuming he is the captain himself, he would certainly like to carry out his task, even if he imitates it somewhat rough if necessary, but Isaac, the captain, would not want such means.

For the past year, since this unit was established, he has been acting with Isaac as a deputy officer, and his thinking is largely meant to be grasped.

I also know how I can be highly regarded.

"This is an order. I don't admit to disagreement."

The deputy said so harshly,

All right, everybody, let's go.

and moved his men into action.

At a time when Isaac's men were daring to carry out a repressive operation in the village of Grisea, Ichigo walked loosely towards the village of Grisea.

Ichigo is tied with a rope in his rear hand, and the knot is squeezed down disappointingly and is unlikely to come off easily.

Seen from the side, it is as if he were a sinner himself.

Barletta, walking next to Ichigo, is not tied up, but two soldiers are following him with a close watch behind him.

"Can this be... written without ink..."

Isaac used a ballpoint pen he had taken away from Ichigo and was trying and writing on the leather paper he had while walking.

Unlike the feather pen Isaac uses every day, the ballpoint pen doesn't have to be inked every time he writes a letter.

Isaac roared small for the convenience of his first ballpoint pen.

"It's called a ballpoint pen. Back in the village, you'll find some tools from God's world."

With that said, Ichirano thought of his belongings that he kept in the village mansion.

Besides the Boston bag I brought with me when I came back to the village this morning, I also keep the carry case that my father gave me in my own room at the mansion.

I haven't checked what's in the carry case, but one or two of the items would be in there that would interest Isaac.

Besides, the contents of the Boston bag alone are enough to prove that it came from the world of God, so it is an affordable mood.

In the conversation we had earlier near the waterwheel, it seemed to distrust Isaac because of the first of the answers, but we should be able to figure it out if we show him the tools we brought from Japan.

I'd like to ask you one thing.

Isaac, who was still looking at the ballpoint pen, looked back at Ichigo as he stopped.

"How many days have you been coming to Grisea Village?

"Er... surely it's a little on the 30th"

In response to Isaac's question, Ichigo answered as he remembered the date of his retirement from the company and today.

To be precise, it will be the thirty-fourth day since Ichigo first visited the other world.

"Thirty days... twenty days before I came to the village..."

Isaac shrugged so, pushing silently in some way contemplative, and started walking forward again.

Neither do the other two soldiers speak to such superiors, but only walk silently.

When Yiliang sees Barletta walking next door, she walks silently, with a look somewhat like Isaac thinking about it.

Perhaps you're thinking about how you should behave after you get to the village.

"(Before I get to the village, I need you to untie only this rope... it's in exactly the same condition as Gracior told me...)"

If the villagers see a good condition tied to the back hand, they could beep up to protect the good by seeing the exact same situation as the legend.

Earlier, on his way to the river to see the water wheel, Ichirano had heard from Barletta about yesterday's interaction between the villagers and the village chief, so he thought it was very likely that the villagers would rise up with their weapons in their hands.

We have more than twenty minutes before the good guys arrive in the village of Grisea.

Destiny's gear was about to make a big move.
