Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

A few days later in the evening.

Ichiran, along with Reese and Zirconia, was in the mountainous area northwest of Isteria.

The place now is by the river near the middle belly of the mountain.

Just a short walk from here, there's an abandoned farm.

Already the sky is stained with sunset colors, and soldiers and squires have begun to prepare for camp around.

Incineration was burning all over the camp, and one tent after another was beginning to be strewn.

Including the escorts and craftsmen, more than a hundred would be superior.

It's a mass camp by a pretty big area.

"My back hurts. Whatever it is, that carriage rocks too much..."

Ichigo put his hands on his hips and stretched his back to defy his body.

So far the three of us traveled by carriage, but the mountain roads were bumpy and the shaking in the car was terrible.

Because there is no mechanism such as a shock absorber, it is natural because the vibration is transmitted immediately to the entire body of the vehicle.

Unaccustomed to the carriage's travel, Ichigo and Reese could not even rest slowly, clutching handkerchiefs stained with anti-drunken essential oils all the time.

Next time you go back to Japan, you can look into the history of the carriage and try to bring the vibration mitigation methods into this world.

You may buy the shock absorber parts or the carriage itself and bring them in, but if there is another method, you can try using it.

"Dear Leese, are you okay? Sit back here."

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks."

Sitting in a round chair that Eira pulled out of the carriage, Reese sighed small.

You're getting a lot tired, you look pretty tired and laid back.

Near the good ones, the squire is beginning to prepare dinner.

Beyond its squire, Marie was also rushing around.

Neither Eira nor Marie dress lightly to make it easier for them to act outdoors rather than in the usual samurai attire.

Footwear also wears leather boots rather than shoes as usual.

"Mr. Kazra, are you okay?

Zirconia sounded worried as Ichiyoshi was holding her hips and groaning.

"I'm fine with it somehow. But when the carriage travel lasts for four days, there's just something hard..."

"Because you rocked quite a bit on the road. Eira, rub Mr. Kazura's hips after dinner."

"Yes, sir."

"Oh, no, that's okay. If you rest a little, you'll be cured."

Ichigo rushes to say no to Zirconia, who gives instructions to Eira.

Eira and her squire must be tired from a long journey.

Perhaps it's natural for you to serve in a position, but I can draw you to that.

Incidentally, squires and craftsmen like Eira, who take care of the good ones, are also moving around in carriages.

Travelling on foot are the soldiers and other servants of the escort and the workers of the general public who have gathered to recruit workers.

"Okay. But don't push it too hard. If Mr. Kazra falls now, I will die from overwork."

I'm reluctant. For one thing, I joke and Zirconia says.

Because we are already face-to-face all morning and all evening, from Zirconia we have had the same steadfastness as before, and these days we have become joking too.

The same is true of Narson and Isaac, who have recently become better at chatting about things around them and so on.

"I'll give you lots of pills that will cheer you up then, so good luck taking that. I support you from the shadows of the grass leaves."

"Why, I absolutely don't like it...... or Mr. Kazra should take that medicine, not me. We can stay behind."

"Uh... those pills don't really work for me because they're specific to these people, do they? It doesn't mean it doesn't work at all."

With that said, Zirconia gave a slightly surprised look.

But soon, he nodded, "Really?" and returned his gaze to the servants who were continuing their work.

As usual already, he's not going to ask you a penetrating question about these contents.

"Still, it's been a long time since you got here. I didn't expect you to spend four days just traveling..."

The mountain path was inconsiderably steep, and it took me two days to get here from the foot of the mountain.

It is also the fourth day of camp today, as we are using it for two days from Isteria to reach the foot of the mountain.

"I've brought a lot of people here, and I've brought a lot of materials and camping tools for mortars. I think it's rather good to get there in four days."

Around the camp are parked carriages carrying lime, sand and other supplies brought from Isteria.

We still don't have enough ingredients to build mortars for ice ponds (hike), so we'll have to transport them in several portions in the future.

Since this place will have dozens of artisans and workers permanently stationed to carry out the work, food should also be transported on a regular basis.

An ice pond is a storage pond that stores water to make ice.

"We were able to determine where to install the water wheel, so get up early tomorrow and get to work on the other tasks as soon as possible. We have to give the craftsmen all the work instructions by sundown. If you can, I'd like to leave here early the morning after tomorrow."

To Zirconia's expression to say so, fatigue does not even feel fine dust.

Zirconia did not seem to move even in the violently rocking car, and took a brief nap as it was brought to the wall.

When it comes to sleeping well in that shake, Ichigo and Leese are flashy.

"Right. When we leave early in the morning the day after tomorrow, it will be seven days before we go to the village of Grisea… well, just in time to receive the construction plan"

This will be the first delivery due date of the water treatment work plan shortly, so I would like to return to Japan by then if possible.

The delay in receiving it for a few days does not pose a problem, but the director of the construction company who is designing it is in no good condition to be contacted.

No matter how long without the tone out, they will be anxious to know how much advance they are paying.

By the way, I'm talking to the Zirconians about the river construction plan.

The reason for the next return to the village of Grisea has also been explained that the purpose of the plan is to collect it.

"While Mr. Kazra is going to the village of Grisea, I'll keep you recruiting work personnel. How many do you need?

"Uh... I don't know the details of what's going on in the plan, either, so I still don't know how many people I'm going to mobilize. I think carpenters and plasterers should have some assurance."

"Are you a carpenter and plasterer... I hope you don't need too many people because carpenters are already pulling out everywhere..."

Heard pulling out more craftsmen, Zirconia looked anxious.

"Hopefully we can finish the partial renovation by next rainy season, so we can still afford it over the period. If craftsmen can't secure it, knock the plan down a bit overall. I can't help it all."

"Right...... depending on the content of the work, most of those who were in the military have experience building camps and fortresses. If it's an easy carpentry job, you should be used to it, so mobilize military experience as a priority."

"Well, that's a good idea"

The river renovation work that will be carried out this time is partial, so a large number of people will not be needed that far.

But there is an overwhelming shortage of craftsmen because they are pulling out craftsmen everywhere.

We cannot delay the development of machine tools, so there will be no choice but to delay river construction.

"Also, I would like to ask the citizens who will be spending this time on work such as book renovation and street maintenance after partial renovation. So please do not let the contract continue without being dissolved after this construction. During the rainy season, you can turn it to another job."

"Okay. There's going to be some room for funds, and let the contract continue as a receptacle for the unemployed. During the rainy season, we'll hit the city's walls."

"... Hey, Kazura"

"Hmm?"

When Ichigo and Zirconia were talking in, Reese, who had listened in silence until then, called out.

"Is there a lot of other people like Kazura in Kazura country? Master Ormachiol or Mr. Guyelsior."

You care not to be heard by the soldiers around you, Reese whispers.

An ormacior is a god of battle, and a gaiercior is a god of commerce.

"Speaking of which, I am. That sounds like a lot of things."

"Oh, yeah.... Then why don't you bring someone from that field in person to help? Kazura has mercy... uh, salvation and abundance, right? I feel like I don't have to do everything by myself."

To Reese, who says with a much different look, stuffs the words as to what Ichigo should answer.

It's a fairly remarkable story, but it seemed stranger to me that these stories had never come up before.

The first thing that comes to mind is the idea of abandoning God's settings and blowing it all up.

It is clear to everyone that the good deeds so far have been so much more than the legend of Graciol.

Even if Ichiyoshi confessed, "Actually, I'm not a god, I'm a normal person from another world," he said, "You were! You liar! I'll kill you!! It won't be."

But when it comes to the benefits of smashing it, it's about eliminating the need to explain a terrible lie and eliminating the backwardness of being lying.

On the contrary, considering what would be the disadvantage, a number of unpleasant ideas came to mind, such as that Ichigo himself might be imprisoned or tortured for the sucking up of knowledge, or that the villagers in the village of Grisea might be taken hostage.

I don't think the Narsons are the kind of people who do that, but I can't be sure of all this.

But I'm pretty sure the Narsons are not putting any exploration into it because they believe that Ichigo is a god named Gracior, and they're not putting any restrictions on Ichigo's behavior.

When I thought about it this way, I felt there was little benefit in daring to blame myself for who I was.

Even if you're set up as a god in a state like this, if it's working, you'd better let it go.

This is what God is, there is no such thing as guidelines, so I would have to wonder "is this what it is" from the Narsons.

"(I mean, what the hell is' God '...)"

"Mr. Kazra has a lot of things to do, too. You can't get us in too much trouble because we're saying we can't and you're getting help, okay?

When Ichiyoshi thought of that and pressed silently, Zirconia pinched her mouth to teach Reese.

"Oh, I didn't mean to..."

"Well, I'll be checking the road to the field now, won't I? Have dinner first."

Zirconia said so, walking alone to the dim woods.

Leese stared at Zirconia's back as she left with an uninterrupted look.

About an hour later.

IchiLiang was sitting on a rock alongside Reese and having dinner overlooking the river.

The two of them sitting are big flat rocks sitting on the riverside.

Next to each is a laying cloth, and there is a wooden jar with stewed dishes, as well as bread and fruit liquor.

We were supposed to eat in the tent, but we were supposed to eat by the river with a good suggestion.

A flame of burning fire nearby softly illuminates the surroundings, and the sound of water rustling through the river echoes around.

The translocation effect, or the meal eaten in this beautiful nature, was felt to be the most delicious in the past few days.

"Well, if they did do that, they'd even want to say, 'I wish I was dead'"

"Isn't it? I've touched my body a few times before, and I feel really bad already.... Uh, I'm getting angry when I remember!

Leese is pungently angry as she chops the bread and throws it into her mouth.

What the two of you are talking about right now is about Leese's visitor.

I've always wondered what kind of people would come when I saw Reese, who was a helo with frequent visitors.

So I handed over one of the cases at the grocery store in the meantime and casually shook up the story, with the result that stupidity spills out of Reese's mouth, which had accumulated depression, like he cut a weir.

"But if you don't like it that much, why don't you just say no? If you're not going to marry him, you don't have to force him to keep seeing you."

"Hmm, that's not going to happen either. I don't like it when you can easily say no and spread a bad reputation, and most people support the Istell family with commercial deals and job manners. A lot of people have been able to accommodate me since I started seeing them, so if I say no to them, they'll annoy your father and mother."

I can't even feel the slightest dust on Reese, who talks like that, the reluctance and perseverance she felt until a few days ago.

As one good suggestion was to stop saluting and hang out in a vegan state, Reese was committed to dealing with it in a completely vegan state.

But to be honest, I'm not completely used to it yet, and I'm finding it difficult to do it.

"What, does that mean that everyone cares about the Istell family with everything Leese is looking for?

"I don't think everyone is after me because there are so many people who are looking for the status of lord. I guess it's been like this for years."

Without any emotion, Reese talks pale.

"So you're not going to marry someone who's somewhat powerful and not rich. That said, I definitely don't like disgusting guys like Nibel, or guys like me thinking about being a lord and doing whatever I want. And on the other hand, I don't like people who are too keenly."

"Seriously. You're struggling with Reese too... are they all coming at us for marriage from the start?"

He says that he seems to be in a difficult position and sympathetic.

Even if the status of the lord's daughter was too great and there were a lot of people to say to, it couldn't be easy to fall in love or anything.

Besides, some of the people who come to see me seem to be out of common sense guys like Nibel.

The stress of having to deal with those people, too, would be a considerable burden for young Liese.

"A lord's daughter is such a thing. There's no way you can fall in love and get married."

With that said, Reese carries the dish to her mouth as she puts her eyes on the river.

Ichigo felt so lonely for Reese, who looked like she was objectifying.

"I can get a lot from the guys who come by for that, so I'm selling it and eating good food and buying beautiful clothes. If you do that, you won't have a bee."

"I see you're playing around with the money you sold the gift to is stressful about the interview"

"Yeah."

"But if there were to be so many visitors, wasn't there one or two that seemed right?

"... if you were here, you'd be married already"

"... is that so too"

Reese stops the hand of the meal and turns a good eye with Zito's eyes.

And when I put the bread I had on the laying cloth, I said, "Oh," and I put my gaze back on the river.

"I thought I'd finally found someone nice. The guy hates me as much as he wants, and I don't know what to do now."

"No, he said he didn't hate anything else."

"Really?"

"Oh, it's true."

"Will you marry me?

"And you're not talking about this."

"Bu."

Ichiyoshi laughed a little at Reese as she was swelling her cheeks.

Concerned about the atmosphere that was getting spicy, Leese must have made him joke a little bit.

"By the way, Mr. Zirconia, isn't it a long time? Is the field that far from here?"

"I looked at the map before I left Isteria, and I don't think it was that far away.... Sure, it's a little late."

Reese had looked at the map beforehand and tapped the terrain of the surrounding area into his head.

The field should have been about a 10 minute walk from the river, so it sure seems like it's too late to get home.

"Was there something wrong over there as well? Why don't we go check on him?

"But also accompany the escort..."

That's about it, Reese remembered how Zirconia was when she left.

Zirconia walked into the woods by herself without anyone.

In other words, Zirconia is now alone in these dark woods.

It is an extremely dangerous act, such as walking around the mountains at night alone where wild beasts may come out.

"(How could you do such a dangerous thing... ah)"

"... escort, you're not following me. Let's hurry up and pick him up. Maybe something happened."

"Wait."

Reese grabbed and pulled back the good arm that stood up in a hurry.

"Just a little more, shall we wait?

"No, you should pick him up right away. If anything happens, you can't take it back."

"I think this is probably your mother's home."

"... Hometown?

"Yeah."

Reese nodded with a slightly different look on her face.

"'Cause nobody's lived here for a long time now, right? The villages that lie ahead are also abandoned..."

"About 10 years ago, a few villages around here were attacked by bandits and all the residents were killed."

Ichigo had a surprised look at the story he hadn't predicted.

"Kill them all... then, Mr. Zirconia..."

"Yeah. Probably a survivor of that village"

That's what Reese said, staring at the dark forest beast path Zirconia walked on and narrowing her eyes.

"So just a little more, shall we wait?

"... ok"

The two remained silent and stared into the dark woods.

Around that time, Zirconia sat in front of three graves full of soil and stones, looking at the moon.

It sits in such a way that one small tomb is sandwiched between the two tombs that the light of the blue and white moon illuminates the area.

In front of each grave were placed a number of mountain flowers that Zirconia had picked on the road.

In front of the small tomb was also placed the little doll dressed as a girl made of yarn.

Zirconia watched the moon for a while as it was, but when he breathed small, he rose and turned his back on the grave to return to the camp.
