Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

About nine hours after the line of good guys left Isteria.

As the moonlight lit the neighborhood, IchiLiang was greeted by villagers, including Balin and Barletta, at the entrance to the village of Grisea.

Behind the good of being greeted by the villagers, the Kingsguards and squires are in a great hurry to pull tents and other luggage out of the carriage and start preparing the camp.

Did Isaac and Habel care for each other well, and now they seem to be leaving the former good to prepare for the camp with the close guards?

"Are you all right... good..."

When he saw the villagers looking healthy, Ichigo finally exhaled in relief.

I had heard from the escorts that the villagers were not injured, but I was not relieved until I actually checked the villagers' appearance with my own eyes.

"I honestly chilled my liver when a burglar suddenly attacked me, but thanks to the power Mr. Kazra gave me, I was able to make it back. But even though the village had never been attacked before, it was careless that you didn't even stand guard. I'm going to do a lot of things to prevent the same thing from happening in the future."

"So when we got to the village, you were all gathered at the entrance to the village."

To Balin's words, Ichigo nodded as he was convinced.

When a line of good men arrived in the village of Grisea, a large number of villagers had already gathered at the entrance to the village, despite the time usually when everyone was asleep.

Perhaps someone watching at the entrance to the village woke up the sleeping villagers when they discovered a line approaching.

"Yeah, for now, I decided to take turns watching around the village. Barletta thought of everything else."

"Mr. Barletta?

Barletta grinned and nodded as a good look at Barletta's words.

"Yes, but I also wanted to hear Mr. Kazra's opinion before we get to work on the construction... Um, can't we talk at home now?

"Construction?...... ok. I'll get my stuff, just give me a minute."

Upon hearing the word construction, Ichigo tilted his inner neck, but immediately nodded at Barletta's request, returning to the carriage to collect the Boston bag and carry case.

Marie is waiting in front of the carriage, and when Ichiyoshi returns, she pulls the Boston bag out of the carriage and hands it to her well.

The carry case then went into the carriage to pull it out as well, but the packed carry case almost to the limit seems too heavy for Marie and she seems to be struggling without moving it well.

"That's fine because it's heavy. I'll take it myself."

"also, sorry......"

Ichigo lowered Marie, who was breathing on her shoulder, into the carriage and pulled out the carry case.

"I will be spending the night in Mr. Balin's mansion. Tell Mr. Isaac and Mr. Havel, too."

"Yes, sir."

Yiliang told Marie so and went inside the village with the villagers with their luggage.

"Marie"

Marie, who was dropping off her good back as she left, broke her cheek only slightly as she looked back at the voice calling herself.

"Lady Havel, Lady Kazra is going to spend the night at Lady Balin's mansion."

"Yeah, sounds like it."

Habel turned a blind eye as she entered the village surrounded by the villagers.

The expressions of the villagers surrounding Ichigo are all bright, and the expressions of Ichigo surrounding such villagers look somewhere delightful.

"... Master Kazura is a stranger"

"Hmm?"

As Havel glanced back at Marie, Marie was staring at the good as she entered the village.

The gaze is soft and you can see that you have a good impression of the good.

"On the road, you spoke freely to someone like me, and treated me gently as if there was no difference in identity. Besides, when I got drunk in the carriage, you even split the medicine for me..."

"... oh, that one's a very good guy. You're so sweet."

When Habel glanced back at her good back, she replied grumbling.

There is no such thing as a relieved atmosphere on that look.

I guess I've always wondered what was going on in the car while Marie set herself up so I could ride the carriage with Ichigo.

"Yes...... But it's strange. I was awfully nervous at first, but for some reason I was so relieved when I was talking to you... it was like I was talking to your mother."

……

"... ah! also, sorry! Wow, I didn't mean it like that!

Marie hastily apologized to Havel for the dialogue she had spoken to herself.

But Havel apologizes for looking so horrible. He didn't look at Marie, he dropped his gaze at her feet.

"Yeah...... But I'm sorry. Because I don't have enough power... I'll make sure I find it someday"

And I groaned in a bad way.

Marie looked sadly at the havel like that,

"... Yes"

And I nodded small.

Meanwhile, Ichigo, when he returned to the Balin Mansion with Barletta and the others, had been shown a view of the village of Gricea drawn on a university note by Barletta in front of the enclosure in the living room.

Words such as "fence" and "watchtower" are written in Japanese in red pens everywhere on the schematic.

Currently, there are only two people in the living room, Ichigo and Baretta, and Balin is out of the mansion for something.

"We surround the whole village with wooden fences in this way, and its surroundings with moats. And at the four corners of the village, we'll build a watchtower, and at the entrance to the village, we'll install a jump bridge."

"... you're building like a fort. This doesn't seem like you have to worry about getting attacked by a burglar anymore... but if this happens, the moat will get in the way and the waterway won't be usable?

"Eh, the waterway in the moat part can be built and crossed, or we can go underground and pull water into the village with the Siphon principle. I'm thinking pretty much. However, if you go through the basement, you have to use stone and mortar… to see if you can get enough lime for the mortar…"

"I see... then I'll prepare the lime. I'll bring as much as you want, so use it."

To Valletta, who is concerned about the lack of materials, Ichigo immediately offered to provide the materials.

The other day, when Ichigo talked to the Narsons in Isteria, he attached a promise that the Narsons would not interfere in any way whatever Ichigo would do in the village of Grisea.

As a result, it is no longer necessary to pay much attention to the bringing of goods and technology only within the village of Grisea.

Besides, Barletta knows who she is and possesses a lot of knowledge from a large number of books, so she hardly needs to worry about leaving the handling of goods and technology to her.

Incidentally, the 'siphon principle' is the principle by which a liquid can be moved from a position to a position of interest by passing it higher or lower than the original position.

In this case, there is a constraint that the intended position must be lower than the original water surface.

When I studied with Baretta before, I studied this principle to a lesser extent.

"So, are you?"

"Yeah, use it, please. Lime is easy to get in Japan, so you can bring as much as you want."

In fact, if you go back to Japan and go to the home center, you get as much lime as you can.

Even if lime were to be used to make mortar, procurement would be easy if it was about the amount used in the village.

"... ok. Now, since it's a corner, I'll try to improve the waterways in the village and make them all made of stone and mortar. The moat part also serves as an underground waterway for experimenting with the Siphon principle, and if it doesn't go well, install a stone water bridge. Once the aqueduct in the village is complete, now the aqueduct connected to the river will also be improved, and when it is finished, the village furnace will be enlarged and then a hand pressed pump will be made, then..."

Barletta writes one after the other with a ballpoint pen, looking at the village's schematic depicted on the university notes.

Apparently, Barletta intends to use the knowledge gained from her studies with Ichigo to dramatically improve the safety and living environment of the village.

"What, are you going to make your own pump by hand?

"Yes, the structure is simple, so I can use bronze to make it myself... you know, maybe the knowledge Mr. Kazra taught me should not be used, even in the village?

When Barletta refers to a hand pump, it is a hand pump used to pump water from a well, for example.

Even in Japan, it is a substitute that can sometimes be found in fields in the countryside.

"Hmm... I told Mr. Narson and the others not to interfere with the village, so you don't have to worry about it there. Besides, I was going to teach Mr. Narson and the others how to build a hand pump in the near future, so I have no problem with that."

Barletta smiled relieved when she answered so well to Barletta, who asked anxiously.

I guess I couldn't tell if I could actually use the knowledge I had gained from Ichigo, including the subsequent impact on my surroundings.

"Good... Um, actually, I have a few other things I'd like to try to make. Would you mind if I made it, as I would be careful not to show it to anyone but the villagers?

"I don't mind, but what the hell are you going to make?

"... steam engine"

"Fuh!?

Ichigo accidentally raised a strange voice to Barletta's unexpected remarks.

We can't help but limit how much interference we have in the village of Gricea when we are about to introduce water discharging technology into Isteria that could suddenly create a substitute for an energy revolution called steam engines and so on.

Waterwheels alone are supposed to make dramatic advances in industrial technology in this world.

The introduction of steam engines goes too far with anything.

Barletta laughed mischievously and ticklishly as Ichiyoshi rushed to open her mouth to praise Barletta.

"Hehe, I'm kidding. Looks like it would be interesting to try it out. In the meantime, I'm thinking about building a machine tool that uses the rotating power of a water wheel. Let's start with the lumber mill and the powder mill."

"Oh, really? Don't hesitate to say if you have the materials or tools you need. I'll get you anything."

When I heard it was a joke, Ichigo offered that to Barletta, relieved internally.

But Valletta...

"... thank you. But I'm also going to try to make all the parts myself as much as I can. You'll learn more about it."

and when I gently turned down a good offer, I dropped my eyes on my college notebook with a slightly lonely look.

"(... I think I said something weird)"

To Barletta, whose expression had suddenly darkened, Ichigo hurriedly opened his mouth to say something.

But something caught my eye and stopped moving.

Until now, I didn't realize it was dim, but I noticed that all the floors where the good guys were sitting had black stains.

"This is..."

Ichigo stood up saying so, looking at the surrounding floors and walls.

And when you find a spot with a large spread of thin black dirt on some of the floors, you kneel closer there.

"... Is this a blood trail?

"Oh, I'm sorry. I think I've stained it and it won't fall off if I wash it. We'll be switching to a new floorboard soon."

"No, that's not what I meant... you know, there's blood stains here, did you fight the burglars here?

Even though I feel a little uncomfortable with Valletta, who answers sayingly, I say a clear question of the answer.

There's so much blood.

It would be obvious that there was a fight.

But what I heard about the escorts before they left was that when they were attacked by a bandit, Balin escaped the mansion, woke the villagers around, and fought back in a group.

Does the presence of blood on this spot mean that there was also a skirmish with the bandits when they escaped the mansion?

"Yep. That night, a bunch of bandits broke into the house... but your father quickly knocked them all out"

"... Huh? All of them, did Mr. Balin defeat all the burglars by himself?!?

"Yes, five people in the house...... ah, one was defeated by me, so your father defeated four people. After that, I heard your father chased the rest of the wild thieves and defeated them all in the woods outside the village with the villagers."

"Ba, did Mr. Barletta fight too..."

Ichigo was convinced in his heart, even as he was surprised by Barletta's story.

Better than before, the villagers who ate the good food showed considerable rigidity.

It was unexpected that only two people were strong enough to overwhelm a group of armed bandits, but the result is Aurai.

"Uh... I was so upset that I couldn't fight well, but for once... But your father was amazing! Because even when the bandits slashed me, I bounced my sword back in an instant, and on the contrary, I tore the bandits apart with one blow!

"Wow, Mr. Balin is that strong...... but you suddenly felt scared when he was raided in the middle of the night...... this raid of the bandits is my fault. If I hadn't left the village, this would have happened..."

Ichiya apologized and leaned down with a sinking face to Barletta, who talked about Balin's battle by gesturing in exaggeration.

No matter how much Balin kicked the burglar with incredible strength, the attacked Barletta would have been horrible.

Besides, Baretta herself says she fought the bandits.

Barretta, who should have actually been bladed by a burglar, can't be out of shock.

"That's not true!

When Ichigo looked up at Barletta's screaming voice, Barletta was in tears in her eyes and staring at Ichigo.

"Mr. Kazra is nothing wrong! I... what... I... am..."

"What!? Hey......!?

To Barletta, who suddenly cried out, Ichigo didn't know what was translated, he just put his hand on Barletta's back and made a dick.

I try to think back to what I said I shouldn't have said, but I can't think of anything other than apologizing for the raid of the bandits.

"(What's this!? What am I supposed to do!?

I don't know what to say. I just didn't know, and Ichiya had to wait even for Barletta to stop crying as she stroked Barletta's back.

Mindful of Ichigo and Barletta, Barrin returned to the mansion one circle around the village, solidifying in a position with his hands on the entrance to the mansion.

And

"... will you sleep in the barn today"

And when he groaned, he sighed and headed to the barn.
