After breakfast, Ichigo and Leese came to the library.

This library seems to be quite large, but I feel a little cramped with a large number of tall shelves installed indoors to get the paperwork done.

Since the passage between the shelves is only cleared for one person to pass through, it will be inevitable that the body will bump into each other when it is not.

The walls are only cleared for ventilation, but not a single window is installed.

For this reason the room is dark and the only source of light is the candlelight Leese has in her hand.

"It's dark, so watch your step. Here's the blueprint for the water wheel."

Reese lights her feet with a candle and proceeds to the back of the materials room.

Ichiyana followed Reese's back going between the shelves, slightly running her eyes on the indoor shelves.

"That's an amazing amount of paperwork...... are all the important paperwork stored here?

"Yes, with the exception of the one placed in your father's office, everything important is kept here. But there's too much material, and I don't know exactly where it is."

The shelf is affixed with an elongated wooden board, with notes on what documents are delivered.

In addition to the stacked leather paper, the shelves also contained a number of large, rounded leather paper.

As Reese proceeded straight to the back of the room, she transferred the fire to the candlestick candle attached to the wall.

In the back of the room, space is taken in a little spacious, with a long desk about two metres long.

When Reese took one large piece of leather paper rounded out of the shelf that was at the deepest end, she placed the candle on her desk and spread the leather paper over her desk.

Looks like he's going to make the blueprints look good on the spot.

"It's the wheel and crate part, but it looks like the craftsman redesigned it to add a little bit of strength. I can't tell if this is okay with me, so I want Kazura to see it..."

That's what Reese said, holding down the end of the drawing with one hand so the drawing wouldn't turn, and hearing hair flowing down her cheek.

The trick is strangely colorful, and Ichigo is unintentionally thrilled.

"Duh, which one..."

Careful not to turn your eyes to Reese, but one hand holds the edge of the leather paper and runs your eyes on the drawing.

The water wheel in the drawing had a slightly larger crate for discharging water than the water wheel in the drawing drawn by Yiliang, and the frame had also been added to increase the strength of the wheel itself.

From what I've seen, the design itself doesn't seem to have a problem.

"Hmm, are you trying to increase the amount of frying water? Was the amount of water discharged from the water truck I'm using not enough?

"No, it's not that I'm completely short… I was chatting with the craftsmen when I told them that it would take a long time for water to accumulate in the storage pond at the end of the waterway. Then immediately the next day, the craftsman drew a new drawing and brought it to me..."

"What, the next day? That's a lot of work for the craftsmen."

"Yes, and I don't need the money, so you just tell me to see if I can spend it... I'm sorry about something"

Apparently, the craftsmen re-drew the drawings in anticipation of Reese being in trouble.

I guess I sewed it up between busy jobs and drew it up in a big hurry for Reese.

"I see. So you haven't started making it yet, have you?"

"Yes, so far, we are using existing drawings for the production of waterwheels. Craftsmen said if we could get permission to make it, we'd start making it out of new drawings soon."

"Well... shall we prototype one for now? Try it, and if it doesn't seem to have any problems, it means it will be mass produced. I don't mind if you make something that you've already started to make, because you can use it somewhere else."

When Ichiyoshi gave her permission, Reese smiled relieved.

"Great...... Um, Dear Kazla, thank you so much for all your cooperation for Istell territory. What a thank you..."

"No, that's okay. Never mind so much"

When Ichigo said so, Reese smiled happily and turned to Ichigo.

Grasp your hand firmly on your chest and turn your eyes of respect to one another.

"Until now, the situation in the realm has gotten worse, while my father and mother have seemed very spicy...... but since Master Kazura came, I can hope for the future. I'll do anything I can. Let us continue to help you beside Kazura."

"Yeah, yeah, nice to meet you"

Ichiyoshi manages to nod while jamming his words to Reese, who looks up with a slightly upbeat face.

Is it because of the candlelight that lights up all the way through the dark room that Reese's eyes seem slightly moist?

Reese opened her mouth again and turned her eyes to a good chest.

"... what's that?

"Oh, is this it? It's called an aromatic pendant."

When Ichigo let the pendant pinch with his hand, Reese approached Ichigo and touched the pendant with her finger.

"Beautiful flower painting...... and you smell so good. Is this Kaoru?

"No, there's a cloth in this tree that's stained with a drug called essential oil. This scent belongs to its essential oils."

"Really... Um, which way is this pendant?

Ichiyoshi breathed unexpectedly into Reese's expression asking him that.

Reese's eyes, looking up right in front of him, were indeed slightly moisturized.

However, unlike earlier ones, the expression is disturbing and frightening of a good response.

Its face, lit by soft candlelight, is so beautiful that Ichigo unexpectedly sees it.

I went back to the village the other day.

"Village, is it... to the civilian, is it?

"Huh? Yeah, I do."

When Ichigo nodded, he looked as if he had a slight delight in Reese's eyes.

But it was also an instant, and when Reese dropped her eyes on a good chest at the slice, she attached the hand that was touching the pendant to a good chest as it was.

"Dear Kazura..."

"Ha, yes!?

Yiliang replies with nervousness to Reese, who looks up with a worried look.

I hadn't caught up with my head at all on why I was in this situation.

"Dear Kazura... I..."

The sound of the door opening at the entrance to the room echoed as Reese approached him to say something with a face like she had decided to.

I'm amazed at the sound of it, and the two of them distance themselves with agitation.

"Hmm? Lord Kazura, were you still here with Reese?

Glancing at his face from the entrance, Narson gave a look that seemed unexpected when he found Ichigo and Reese in the back of the room from between shelves.

"Yes, I'm just asking Master Kazura to look at the blueprints for the water wheel..."

Reese erases her earlier cut look and responds to Nalson with her usual serene expression.

"You don't have to look at anything in such a dim place, you'll just have to bring the drawings out there. It's right there in the talking room. You can use it."

"No, it was just a little something for you to look at... What materials is your father looking for?

"Um, to pick up conscription-related materials. We have to rewash the assets of the people and re-classify the equipment and organization during conscription. I've been busy lately and left the rest with my hands on the way. Jill's been trying to force me to wake up, so I decided to do it before he could get his hands on me. He seemed to care that we had to do it fast."

"Did you...... how was your mother?

"He fluttered a little and had a neighborhood under his eyes, but he wasn't that pale. If we let him rest today and tomorrow, he'll be able to return to duty again."

"Really...... good"

Seeing Reese smiling as relieved, Ichigo felt irresistible.

I have the cause of Zirconia's illness, but I can't tell you why right now.

"Mr. Narson, would you mind letting me take a look at what that job is all about?

"... Are you sure?

To a good offer, Narson gave a surprised look.

Until now Ichiyoshi has not touched on any military relations, so it would be natural to be surprised.

But when I was asked for help with the military before, I said no, but I'm not deciding that I will never provide any support.

I didn't see the diplomatic or territorial situation in this country at all then, so I just avoided snorting cheaply.

In the meantime, support on internal affairs in the territory is beginning to move forward, and we are also beginning to grasp a few areas where support is needed.

It's time for you to know more about military connections.

Because of my guilt toward Zirconia, I can't say enough that I've never offered to be present here.

"Yeah, let me see what's going on with the armaments in the realm. I just need you to let me know if I'm going to talk, and just tell me what the situation is."

"Okay. Now, let's get to the office quickly. Reese, help me carry the paperwork."

"Oh, I'll carry you, too."

Reese was clenching her fist as she stared at her good back as she walked under Narson.

The expression is what remains calm as usual, but not at all calm in the mind.

"(... I was almost there!!

If I hadn't gotten in the way earlier, Leese was going to go ahead and drop Ichigo like that.

I didn't mean to go that far when I got here, but I happened to change my mind when I heard about the pendant I was wearing earlier.

Ichigo said the pendant's giver was a civilian.

If Ichigo were a nobleman, he would not imitate the way he always wears gifts from civilians.

But I'm pretty sure that doing it means being a civilian myself.

The fact that YiLiang, a civilian, is so close to Narson means YiLiang is a leading man who has come to support from Clayrats, a country where civilians have great power.

A leading neighbor and Zirconia admittedly, a wealthy, generous worker with a calm and caring personality.

To more excellent properties, Reese has never encountered before.

Somehow there seems to be a shadow of a woman close to her home country, but in the meantime she received the 'dear bracelet' Leese gave her, which would mean she's not less interested in Leese.

Then there's only a pre-emptive strike.

If you do something to shoot a good heart, disintegrate but have a relationship, then I don't care about the rest.

Once you have a relationship with yourself, the daughter of a lord who is a great nobleman, no matter how powerful Kreilatz is, Ichigo, who is a civilian, will have to take responsibility.

If that happens, the marriage line will remain intact after that.

Happily, Ichigo will be the son-in-law of the Istell family.

But I was interrupted, more importantly by my own father, by an important first step to becoming so.

Leese was treading that he would never get in the way because only a very few people could get into this place, but apparently he misjudged.

If I hadn't gotten in the way like that, I could have taken it to a pretty good vibe.

If I could have succeeded, I could have been pushed back by the atmosphere and drawn the words of favor from the best.

Thinking of it that way, Reese had the thought of biting her teeth.

"Mr. Reese, is something wrong?

Noticing Reese standing up on the spot, Ichigo looks back and tilts his neck.

"No, it's nothing"

Reese smiled adorably, softly untying her clenching fist and pointing her foot beneath the good.
