Sixty Stories: Purpose, Means and Delicious Rice

The next day at noon.

In a good room at the Balin Mansion, Ichigo had opened the lids of dozens of cardboard boxes he had brought from Japan, explaining the contents to Valletta.

The contents of the cardboard box are food products such as cans and Lipo D, as well as medical products such as bandages and disinfectants, prepared quite a bit more so that even if Ichigo could not come back to the village of Gricea for a few months.

Furthermore, next to the cardboard box, a bag containing refined rice is stacked for 500 kilograms.

With all this, we would be able to make Ichiyoshi come back to the village for quite some time, even if he could no longer come back over the long term.

The village food problem has already been solved recently as the village crops have been able to be harvested in large quantities.

However, there are concerns that if Ichiyoshi discontinues food support for the village, the physical abilities of the enhanced villagers at the corner may be restored.

It is still at the speculation stage, but considering the process of strengthening the physical abilities of the villagers, Ichiyoshi thought that if Ichiyoshi stopped eating the food he had brought, his physical abilities would gradually revert to normal.

It is desirable that the physical abilities of the villagers remain in this state, as events such as the recent raid by the bandits do not necessarily occur again.

There is no need to worry about hunger, as the village's food self-sufficiency is better than 100%, even if for some reason it has run out of the food that Ichigo has brought.

It is also clear from Balin and Valletta's condition when accompanying Isaac's troops the other day that humans with enhanced physical abilities will not starve even if they continue to consume only this world's food.

The only thing to be aware of is a raid from an outside enemy.

"That's an amazing amount...... can't Mr. Kazra come back for a while?

"No, I'm going to be back in ten days. We need to recover the hydroelectric generators ordered from the Japanese factory."

Valletta opened her eyes in surprise when she answered Valletta, who looked out for the stacked supplies but asked a little anxiously.

"What!? Are you taking the generator to Isteria!?

"Yeah. Thought I'd use refrigerators and other appliances over there. If I could use the refrigerator, I thought it would be convenient because I could bring some fresh Japanese food. I thought we could use power tools and computers as long as we had generators."

"Oh, really? That was a long time ago... but will you be okay..."

When he heard about the appliance, Barletta leaked an uneasy voice.

I take a chunk of over-tech like an appliance, and I'm worried if someone sees it.

"Well, it's okay because I'm going to get Mr. Narson and the others to help me and not show it to anyone else. It should be the same for Mr. Narson and the others who don't want to see what I have, so they can move on and help me."

In the unlikely event that someone other than the Narsons sees you, you can't even understand what you're using it for to the extent that you've seen it a little.

Aside from talking about sudden mimicrys like entering Isteria by automobile, a stationary generator or refrigerator would retain the sentiment that "there's some kind of odd box," even if it was stolen with some kind of clap.

However, if you open the refrigerator and they see the contents, or if they see a laptop or power tool that is running, it can be noisy, so you have to be very careful where they are used.

"Right...... right. With the help of Master Narson...... Um, could it be the last big box Mr. Kazra brought in yesterday..."

"Yeah, there's a fridge in that one. I brought a lot of frozen vegetables and stuff, so I think I'll be able to have a pretty good meal after going to Isteria."

To answer confidently about his upcoming diet, Barletta gave a strange look.

"What, but you're bringing the generator from Japan in ten days, right? Until then, the refrigerator won't work, so the vegetables that are frozen will melt?

"Oh, I'm fine with that. Because there is also a gasoline generator in the luggage that I am taking this time. I also have a little bit of gas for two drum cans, so I should have it for a while."

"Oh, really?"

For once trying to act too thoughtfully, Barletta got a little worried.

But I guess a certain amount of impotence is acceptable beyond the fact that Nalson, Lord of Isteria, is on his side.

Nalson should never go against what he says because he wants to get some good support, even if it's not.

Instead, I would offer to cooperate with this by going ahead and thinking about a good future testimony.

Besides, Ichigo has proven in his actions in the villages to date that when he decides to do something, he goes into rather thoughtful action.

I don't have to wonder if I should weigh myself a little more, but it is now too.

"And if there's anything else you need or have trouble with, please let me know at any time. I'll be right back."

"Yes, thank you"

Baretta smiled and thanked him, but she remembered the loneliness that allowed her chest to tighten.

In a few dozen minutes, Ichigo will go to Isteria again.

The next good time to see each other is in ten days, and perhaps even then it will be clear to go to Isteria for a long time.

If you loosen your mind a little, you're going to have tears in your eyes, but make a smile so that you can't get away with it.

Over and over again, you can't expose yourself to ugliness in front of the good.

"But Mr. Kazra is fine with the village, so please concentrate on supporting Isteria. I'll be in touch when I really need Mr. Kazra's help."

When Barletta said so, Ichigo gave a slightly surprised look.

But soon.

"Yeah."

and nodded with a smile.

Then half an hour later.

Loading all his luggage into the carriage and getting himself ready, Ichigo was giving farewell greetings to the villagers at the entrance to the village.

Some of the villagers looked anxiously at the good that would go to Isteria, but the majority of the things were smiling.

They are all somewhat relieved by the safe return of the good that went to Isteria once.

In addition to that, earlier Zirconia gave a speech in front of all the villagers.

The content of the speech was an explanation of the support provided by Ichigo in Istella and an overview of the current famine occurring in Istella territory, in addition to the fact that Ichigo's safety is guaranteed by the Istella family, so I want you to feel safe.

Normally, it is unlikely that hundreds of thousands of noblemen who gather folk grass will give speeches themselves against such cold-village villagers.

The villagers listening to the speech looked somewhat nervous, but at first they seemed convinced by Zirconia's explanation.

It must also have been a reassuring element for the villagers that they had declared earlier that they would return to the village in ten days' time.

For the people of the village of Grisea, Ichigo is already the God of salvation and the base of their hearts and minds, and must be.

"Well, I'll be there. I'll be back in ten days, but if anything happens in the meantime, please call me right away."

Yiliang tells the gathered villagers so, he is taken to the carriage by Isaac, who had refrained beside him.

Marie is waiting by the carriage and seems to be riding with her on her way home.

"Mr. Kazra!

But when Ichiyoshi tried to get in the carriage, Barletta ran over to Ichiyoshi.

"Hmm, what's up?

When Barletta stood in front of the good, she looked straight up at the good and looked at each other.

"I'll do my best. So..."

Baretta said that far, closing her mouth, which was about to say something, and once she dropped her gaze on a good chest.

And look up to Ichigo again.

"Yeah?"

Barletta smiled a little lonely and bitterly as Ichigo smiled to encourage her to continue.

"... no, it's nothing. Take care of yourself and don't push yourself too hard."

"Yeah. Don't push yourself too hard, either, Mr. Barletta. You can't stay up late because you enjoy studying, can you?

When Ichiyoshi joked and said so, Baretta smiled limply.

"I can't promise you that."

"Come on, I don't even know if I'm losing my back."

"Fine, it's nothing small, I don't have a problem with it"

"You don't know."

Ichiya sneezed and stroked Barletta's head, and Barletta narrowed her eyes as she tickled.

Then make sure that the lonely shadow disappears from Barretta's expression and take your hands off Barretta's head.

"See you in ten days. Until then, cheer up."

"Yes, Mr. Kazura, please be well."

Yiliang smiled at Barletta and got into the carriage where Isaac opened the door and was waiting.

Following the good, Marie also takes a good hand to get into the carriage.

When Yi Liang finished riding the carriage, under Zirconia's decree, a large force of nearly 1,000 men, including 300 close guards of the escort, slowly began moving towards Isteria.

Baretta dropped off the troops leaving,

"So... wait"

And he whined in a small voice.

When dozens of minutes have passed since the troops began moving towards Isteria.

Zirconia was talking to Havel, who called in next door, as she rode the head of the unit on Rata.

The story is about a dish that was served well at the Louson Mansion before.

"Is this the dish served to Master Kazura?

"Yeah. Can you tell me what you put out when you had Mr. Kazra in your mansion before?

"I didn't know what Kazura liked then, so I made him cook all the dishes he could prepare with ingredients available at that time. I've had quite a bit of it, but it seemed worthwhile and Kazura was satisfied."

"Everything you can prepare… Your cook was very responsive to the sudden instructions. You stockpile that many ingredients?

Hearing Havel's answer, Zirconia inquired a little surprised.

According to what Zirconia has heard from Isaac, Yiliang's stay at the Louson Mansion was supposed to be a sudden story, and he wasn't supposed to be ready for anything.

While Yiliang was staying at the Narson Mansion, the Narsons were careful to cook and served dishes with different tastes each meal.

However, to deduce from the large amount of food prepared by Ichigo this time, many of the dishes that the Narsons had put out with this in mind did not satisfy Ichigo's tongue.

Nonetheless, how smart are you with the Louson family cooks who were able to serve dishes that Yi Liang was convinced of on a first meal?

"You don't stockpile that many ingredients, but you always try to secure a certain amount of meat, vegetables, etc. in my father's taste. And then I put it out for merchants in the near field, and I ran to buy fresh meat and potato worms."

"Yes..."

Zirconia, thinking for a moment, opened her mouth to Havel to cut the point.

"Havel, I wonder if you could give me one cook who was cooking the dishes I served to Mr. Kazra at that time. Of course I'll give you the money you deserve."

"The cook, sir?

"Yes. Thank you, Mr. Kazra. The food we serve in our mansion doesn't suit my taste. I didn't want to change my taste and serve food, but none of it seemed to work."

Zirconia explains why to Havel, who inquires in wonder.

In this way of explaining, it's like declaring that the cook at your mansion is inferior to the Louson cook, but Zirconia doesn't seem to care at all.

A nobleman of high pride would never have been able to say it, but such pride does not exist in Hate Zirconia.

If only we could get what we need right now by the shortest possible means.

Hearing Zirconia's explanation, Habel opened her mouth after rethinking for a moment.

"Then one person is qualified. I'm still young, but I'm sure of my culinary skills, and I have an understanding with Master Kazura."

"Well, that's good. How old is that cook?

"I'm thirteen. I called my first name Marie, and that's who's in the carriage with Master Kazla right now. The profession isn't cooking, you're the maid of the mansion. This time, as my squire, I accompanied the troops."

"That's a lot younger...... but being in the carriage with Mr. Kazra means that Mr. Kazra likes his daughter"

To Zirconia's solitary whining, Havel shuts up without changing her expression in particular.

Did Zirconia receive that silence as an affirmation, okay, he nodded.

"Well, could you give that daughter away? Money is worth it."

"Yes, but Marie is a slave owned by my father, Knoll. So it would be helpful if you could tell my father about ownership..."

"Oh, yeah. Then I'll come back to Isteria and talk to you in person."

Without responding at all to the word slavery, Zirconia was showing relief when the concern of a good dietary problem was allayed.

Havel exhaled softly and small as she looked sideways at such a zirconia.
