89 Stories: What You Can and Can't Do

When Zirconia returned to her room, she closed the door behind her back and, sloppily, knelt into the spot.

"... ugh... ugh... gu..."

Forced to hold down a whimper that was about to spill, he hugs his own body with both hands trembling in small pieces.

Zirconia has been observing a good thing for some time now about how we can get a better and more favourable impression.

I also tried to set an example and behave similarly when I saw how Reese was well into it.

Did that work, Ichigo felt he had come to treat himself more favourably than before?

But I had no idea they were going to call me in at night so soon.

I should have been prepared to be called to night games sooner or later when I started moving to get a good favor.

I thought I could do anything to gain strength.

If possible, I was hoping to seduce the good afterwards and become a favorite of the Night Game opponents.

But when it came time, the horrible sights of the past flashed back and I couldn't wait to be scared and scared.

Even though that's all it is to offer my body, my head was filled with fears that I couldn't help.

Not like then.

That's not how they get dirty.

I can't even show you that sight.

No matter how much I told myself that, I couldn't stop my trembling body.

"Holy crap... pathetic..."

Pompous and tearful, he maligns his own fuzziness.

The regret that I missed the good opportunity I had stepped in was swirling in my chest.

I didn't call it night games. I felt sorry for myself when they offered me that help boat.

I managed to squeeze my courage and offered Night Game again, but they refused without thinking about it.

Perhaps I will not be called to night games anymore.

In the future, I can only pray that Leese and Eira will be good favorites.

I don't know if the result will be the power of blessing or additional support, but I couldn't help but pray that it would work.

"Father... Mother... Guys... I'm sorry..."

Zirconia kept crying for a while as she spewed out words of penance.

Early the next morning.

Sleeping with his hands on an analog clock placed on a small table by the bed, Ichiya woke up with the sound of the door of the room being knocked.

In fact, earlier, with the shitty metal sound of the alarm clock, I am awake once.

But I stopped the clock from feeling too tired, and now I was asleep twice.

I get out of bed rubbing my sleeping eyes, and I say, "Go ahead," and I speak to the door.

The door opened immediately and Marie came into the room.

Unlike a good sleepy, dumb look, Marie in work mode is already a definite look.

Marie has a basket in her hand, and inside is clothing with a hinoshi (iron to use with charcoal cooked in a flat bronze pan).

The clothes in the basket are fine cloth trousers on collared shirts.

Usually, the clothes that Ichiyoshi wears at the Narson Mansion are more or less like this.

The clothes used as sleeping clothes are rugged loose shirts and trousers.

"Good morning, Master Kazra. Thank you for a day today."

"Yeah, good morning. Thank you again today. Hey, can I have you come over here?

Replying back with a smile to Marie, who bows her head with a dust, she gets out of bed and heads to the refrigerator that is placed on the wall.

Marie kept her basket and followed her with a quick leg.

"Uh, this is a tool called a refrigerator. Explain how to use it now, and remember. In the future, I want you to take the ingredients from here."

Marie, who came next door, asked Ichiyoshi to open the refrigerated space door in the fridge.

Inside, various foods are included, such as bottles of salmon flakes and pasta sauce, and vegetable soups of tube butter and retorts.

"It's always kept cool in here, and if you keep it inside, you can make the food last longer.... Um, are you okay?

"Ha, ha!

Marie, who had first seen the refrigerator open, had opened her eyes and stiffened her body.

Until now, Ichigo had told me to "use this today" and I had been given canned or frozen vegetables and meat, but this was the first time I had been shown inside the fridge.

I was even wondering why frozen foods would come out this mid-summer, but Marie had absolutely no idea, even if she had any doubts, to talk about it or even ask it nicely.

Because Marie had been told in advance by Havel never to imitate things like exploring or talking about a good neighborhood.

Marie has also been educated by her mother from an early age to focus solely on faithfully performing the work she was given.

It has also been taught from day to day that poorly handed and added to rumor stories doesn't do a lot of things.

Neither did the Louson family have any particular interference with Marie, except for Havel, who cares about something, and his older brother Arond, who hits me hard from day to day.

For that reason, Marie was mottled to concentrate solely on her work so that it was as discreet as possible.

Even when entering and exiting a good room, he never touched the rare tools placed in the room.

That came here, and all of a sudden, after being explained the tools, they told me to learn how to use them.

Marie was starting to get puffy early on as things unfolded.

"So, the shelf below here is called the ice making room, and inside, ice is made"

Regardless of the puffy Marie, Ichigo pulled out the ice making room in the fridge.

Inside, there are a number of square ice chunks.

"You can use this ice freely, so if you want to have a cold drink, you can use it on your own. When you want to cook something cold, you can use it."

"Ha!"

Marie snorts in desperation as she returns a tense reply, as if it were a sports party system.

"So, what's under here is a freezer, and there's a lot of frozen ingredients inside. The big box next door is also in the freezer."

"Ha!"

"I want you to be free to use what's in this to cook, but I don't think I can imagine the flavor or anything until I get used to it, so shall I choose with you for a while? I don't mind cooking with you in the cooking area."

"Ha!"

"Then pick the ingredients to use for breakfast quickly. Even so... I use frozen foods to cook in the morning. Can I have some retort soup? Can I use canned bread?"

"Ha!"

Together with Marie, who has been in a BOT-like state repeating the same reply, Ichigo began to choose the ingredients for breakfast.

Then an hour later.

Marie and I had meal support at the cooking place, and Ichigo headed to the room where she always dined with Marie.

When Ichigo arrived in the room, Leese and Narson had already taken their seats in the room.

I came into the room. For one thing, the two smile softly and say "Good morning".

"Dear Kazura, good luck with your long journey. How are you feeling?

"Good morning. I gave you a good night's rest, so you're perfectly fine... uh, what about Mr. Zirconia?

Answering Reese with a smile, Ichiyoshi glances at the seat where Zirconia usually sits.

There was no meal available for that seat.

"That seems to have made me ill this morning because of overwork. I've been contacted today to take care of things and rest in my room."

"Really..."

Clouding his expression. For one thing, Narson leaned his neck strangely.

But as soon as I'm convinced that I'm worried about Zirconia, I suggest you take a seat.

"While Lord Kazura was gone, Jill was more than usual. Happy to keep working... I guess he got too tense and exhausted all at once. You might want to give it a rest for a few days."

"Right...... let him do that"

I remember last night as I sat in my seat, and in an awkward mood Ichigo answers.

I didn't know Zirconia worked so desperately while I was away from Isteria.

But the reason she's not here is probably because of herself last night, no matter what she thinks.

Looks like we'll need to keep some kind of follow up later.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of Jill's work today. If there's anything else, anything else."

"No, I'm fine, especially. Thank you."

From this look of Narson, Zirconia doesn't seem to have told Narson what happened last night.

If we had talked, that must have been the atmosphere on this occasion being like overnight.

"Dear Kazra, in the future, I will help you as much as I can. Now that we've installed all the water trucks, we can help you with another job today."

Leese pinches her mouth from side to side so that she cares for Ichigo, who has a dark face.

"Eh, have you finished installing everything on the east and south waterways as well?

When Ichiya heard back in surprise, Reese smiled.

"Yes, they all worked so hard that I could finish the work faster than I expected. The accuracy of waterwheels is expected to improve in the near future."

"That's amazing...... but how the hell did you say accuracy would improve in the near future? I don't think there was enough manpower to do anything about it."

"I had some of the work I was doing coming to the carpenter's place on my shoulders by wounded and sick soldiers who used to serve in the military. If you've lived a long time on the front line, you've had experience building positions and repairing weapons, so I thought you had some skills."

"Um, from the day after Lord Kazra left Isteria, Reese accompanied the carpenters to visit every citizen's house. They moved to see the extent of the injury and sort out whether they could withstand the practice and find new jobs for them, as well as reducing the burden on carpenters. Our nostalgia doesn't hurt either, as Reese put together a good story on the form the carpenter pays for the job."

Ichiyoshi accidentally peeled off his eyes at the explanation Narson added.

I didn't think Leese would think of herself and do that much while I was gone.

Leese seems like a young but pretty good person to be able to take the initiative in thinking about how he can do better than just do what he's been told.

Of course, she must have carried things so well because she had been so intimate with the citizens until now.

Not a craftsman for everyone.

"I have instructed the craftsmen to carry out not only workmanship and material making work, but also chores such as buying and running, cooking, etc., so the burden on the craftsmen should be a lot less. I think I can take turns in hitting the work to the extent that I can't help it because I have more than one person in one workshop"

"I see, if we run out of chores, artisans can concentrate on their work... and take proper turns"

Until now, the craftsmen had done everything on their own: buying and delivering goods, plus cooking and laundry.

If you don't have to do most of those chores in addition to light tasks, you will be able to spend a lot more time working on them.

Injured and sick soldiers who fail to get a job can get a job at first, even if they don't want that high a wage.

Besides, if Reese is going to stand as the back shield, the wounded and sick soldiers should be able to work safely.

It can be described as an excellent measure, in which the interests of both sides coincide.

"If the craftsmen can afford the time, they should also improve their workmanship accuracy every second. And there's something I'd like to talk to Master Kazura about... If you don't mind, could you give me a moment after dinner?

"Okay. You mean carpentry?

"Yes, the craftsman has reworked the blueprints for the water wheel, so Master Kazura would like to see them too... The blueprints are in the materials room, so come with me after dinner. Father, are you sure?

"Well, Lord Kazura doesn't mind if you come in any room."

As Narson nodded, Reese looked relieved.

A large number of documents of importance to Istel territory are kept in the library where Reese is about to take Ichigo.

If Nalson shows any difficulty, if it's true, I hope Reese gets the paperwork out of the file room, but then Reese is in trouble.

With Ichigo, it doesn't make sense if you can't go to the library alone.

That place shouldn't get in the way.

"Is it the library? Speaking of which, you've never been there yet."

He was crushing that. For the best, Reese smiled cutely, as usual.
