The next morning.

When they finished breakfast, they were discussing one note paper in front in a good room.

The note paper is a list of items that Barletta wrote down last night that she would like us to procure for her.

"Uh, steel circular blades, fertilizers and nails and... oh, are they fire-resistant bricks? Could it be that you were going to make iron?

I caught my eye on the letter 'refractory brick' which was written, and Ichiyoshi raised his face.

"Yes. It said a lot in the book Mr. Kazra gave me, so I thought I'd like to make it."

"I see. So you were baking charcoal? But there's a forest nearby, and you didn't have to bother charcoal-grilling in the mountains, did you?

"Eh, I have to use a thing called kamatsuchi to make coal kilns, but the soil that makes that ingredient uses mountain stuff. So it's a hassle to carry dirt all the way to the village... it doesn't take much time to run and travel, so I decided to do it all in the mountains"

Kamatsuchi is a fire-resistant mortar in which soil containing a lot of diacid is trimmed into a mortar.

Made from whitened soil found in the mountains, it is an essential part of making coal kilns.

The reason Barletta asked for a good fire-resistant brick this time is because Japanese fire-resistant bricks are of much higher quality than what she makes herself.

If you just want to create a lump iron furnace (on and off) that refines iron from iron ore, it's okay to have a fire-resistant brick that has shaped and fired the camouflage.

But Valletta's thoughts were elsewhere.

"Oh, you could have run to the mountains in an hour... What do you mean, you found iron ore in the mountains?

"Yes, we found a large iron mine"

"... seriously?

"Seriously."

I'm peeling my eyes and I'm surprised. For one thing, Barletta smiles.

"I stumbled across it along the mountain river. A lot of crushed iron ore fell on the river plains. I think maybe something crushed with cannon water or something just saved up a little bit."

"Is there such a place... can you tell me where it is?

When Yiliang gave him the file with the map, Barletta turned around and opened the page containing the map of the mountainous area.

The map is a copy of the A3 form.

"There is an iron ore vein along this river. I'm pretty sure it matched the look of the" striped iron deposits "pictures in the book perfectly."

As Baretta crawled her fingers into the single river depicted on the map, she opened a book titled 'History of Metal Refining' that she had beside her.

The open page contains a color photograph named 'Striped Iron Deposit'.

It captures red and black striped rock walls.

"Mostly around here. There were minerals up to the river, and on one side of the river, there were a lot of crushed iron ore falling."

"Hmm, is this river connected to the village... it looks like the reserves are going to be amazing"

"I think a good amount can be mined if you chop off the rock skin. It's an amazing amount of just what's falling into the river plain, so you can use it all you want."

"That's amazing. I was trying to figure out what to do with the introduction of steelmaking technology, so I was relieved to know that there were materials in the near field. If you're going to mine, can I ask you for a little help?

"Yes! I've been exploring all over the mountains lately, and I'll show you everything next time!

Once he did it and nodded happily at Barletta, he nodded again and dropped his eyes on the note paper.

"Wow, this is awesome..."

Prepared to leave for Japan, Ichiya leaked her amazement when she left the front door of the mansion.

It was dark last night and I wasn't sure, but now that it's bright, I can clearly see the whole village.

Various water wheels, large and small, are installed everywhere, starting with mortar waterways that flow through the village.

A wooden fence built to surround the village and a watchtower set up on all sides of it.

Several new buildings under construction were also seen, with large quantities of wood seen as columns and wall plates lying on the ground.

"Mr. Kazura, it's lunch."

As Yiliang watched the village, Barletta came out of the mansion with a wooden lunchbox.

When we made breakfast, we made it together and stuffed it.

"Go home by dinner. Is this right?

"Right, I don't have any plans that are going to take particularly long, and I think I'll be able to come back"

Hearing that reply, Barletta smiled happily.

"Good. I'll make you a treat and wait."

"I'll make sure you come back as soon as possible. Is there anything else on the list that you can buy me?

"I think it's probably okay...... oh, yeah. Your father said," I want to drink that booze again. "

"Is it booze? Then will you buy anything besides sake?"

So, there you go, and Barletta waved me off, and Ichigo left the mansion behind.

After dropping off Ichigo, Baretta came to the camp outside the village when she finished washing and laundry on the waterway inside the village.

Ask the soldier who was nearby to call Isaac and look at the view in the camp.

The soldiers had many in private clothes, and a few in armor.

The atmosphere of relaxation runs through the camp and everyone seems to enjoy a temporary vacation.

You can also see those walking towards the river with fishing rods in their hands, and those heading to the near-field woods.

The goal of those heading to the woods is the Arcadian worm, a specialty near here.

As Barletta watched such a sight, Isaac walked in armor, so much less.

"Good morning, Isaac."

Isaac smiled as Baretta lowered her head with a pepper.

"Good morning. Has Master Kazra gone to the kingdom of God yet?

"Yes, I just went out"

"Really? So, do you want to start fast?

"Please. But before I do, I need to talk to you..."

"Okay. Let me ask you in my tent."

That's what Isaac said, he took Barletta and started going inside the camp.

Along the way, the soldiers who saw the two of them said, "Master Isaac, you brought a pretty daughter," or "You do it when Master Isaac does it, too. I'll go and speak up too," he said, blurring out the obviously misguided dialogue.

Isaac walks quickly and moves to his tent without even showing a bare gesture that cares.

"This way, please. Leave the entrance open."

As he entered the tent, Isaac opened the entrance and secured it securely with a string.

Pull the chair at the simple table in the back and recommend it to Barletta.

"Now let me ask you something. We'll work with you as best we can, so say anything."

Barletta sat down and then sat herself in a chair, and Isaac smiled flamboyantly.

Barletta, who was a little nervous, loosened her shoulder strength to Isaac's appearance like that.

"Thank you. First of all, I'd like to talk to you about arranging a Wallstone."

"Is it a rough stone? Do you use it to write letters?

Waxy stone is a soft ore with waxy milky white.

It is also used as a stone brush and can draw lines to stone slabs and such like chalk.

Throughout the city of Isteria, the inscriptions on the stone slab at the store are written in brass stone.

It is not used for signs to be installed for a long period of time because the wind storm will blur it in a few days.

In Istel territory, brass stones have also been mined from where obsidian stones have been mined.

A common mineral, very inexpensive.

"No, I use it to make something. If possible, we'd like you to arrange for about one carriage."

"Something, is it? Is that also from the technology that Master Kazra taught you?

"That's right. I just can't even tell Isaac what it's like yet... sorry"

"That's okay. You use it to help Master Kazura, don't you?

Isaac smiled at Baretta as she seemed sorry.

What Barletta is trying to make is a brackish brick that mixes brackish stones with clay.

It is shaped and cooked in a kiln and becomes a refractory brick.

If you build a sturdy furnace using a refractory brick that you will have a good one brought to you, and bake it at high temperatures, you will be able to manufacture as many high quality refractory bricks as you can withstand quite high temperatures.

"Yes, if Mr. Kazra decides to introduce the technology to Arcadia, I'm going to prepare it now. I didn't tell Mr. Kazra what I was up to."

"What, you didn't even tell Master Kazura?

"Yes, I don't really want to annoy (wasp) Mr. Kazura's hand. I don't even want you to worry..."

Though prepared, Isaac was surprised by Barletta, who said he would proceed with the work in secret for good.

However, it seems that Ichigo has already taught Barletta the technique.

Valletta is trusted by one good cause to be taught the unknown technology ahead of time.

Then you shouldn't talk to yourself anyway.

By the way, what Barletta said "I don't want to annoy the good hand" or "I don't want to worry you" is half true and half false.

"Hmmm...... ok. Let's not say anything to Master Kazra either. I'll take care of the stone arrangements."

"Thank you. And, for my second consultation, I would like to ask you to elaborate on the content of the work currently being carried out in Isteria under the initiative of Mr Kazla. Also, I'd like you to tell me the work plan to be done in the future and the type of tools you're trying to make."

"I don't mind that, but wouldn't you ask Master Kazura directly?

"I've been listening to a lot of things about Mr. Kazra, but I hear a lot of details about it because it's... it's going to be understood..."

"Enlightened? Tell me what?

Isaac leaned his neck strangely at Barletta, who muttered badly with his teeth.

Baretta kept her mouth open as she let her gaze swim over her desk, but raised her face slightly.

"Me, I want to help you beside Mr. Kazra. But I don't like to have them put aside just because they're close."

"... hmm? What do you mean?

I'm not sure what you're talking about and Isaac asks again.

"I want Mr. Kazra to recognize his strength. I don't want you to ask me to put it aside, I want to be beside you because you need me. I don't want to be a foot wrapper anymore..."

Isaac twisted his neck for a little while thinking to Barletta, who looked embarrassed as she turned red.

But I immediately nodded, "Oh, I see."

"Is that what you mean? Well, I see."

Yeah, yeah, to Isaac nodding, Barletta blushed even more naggingly.

"But what Mr. Barletta is trying to do... no, I'm sorry. Mr. Barretta would have done it."

"Yes, I will definitely try"

Baretta looked up and nodded with a serious look.

"So I need a lot of help from Isaac as well... can you please?

"Of course it is. If there's anything I can do, I'll help. Good luck."

Barletta breathed relief at Isaac, who replied reliably.

"Good. And then there's the last consultation… or if you know what I want you to tell me…"

"Don't hesitate. Say anything."

"Uh..."

Barletta was mumbling again as she let her gaze swim to her desk, but eventually opened her mouth.

"Master Reese and Mr. Kazra are the... intimate patterns?

……

"... you know?

I noticed Isaac, losing his expression and solidifying like a sculpture, and Barletta sounded worried.

"Oh, I'm sorry...... well, you look very close"

Isaac glanced away from Barletta and looked away.

"Well, you know..."

"... I don't know that far either. However, Master Leese seems to really like Mr. Kazura."

"Oh really... Um... I'm sorry about something"

Barletta apologized to Isaac, who had suddenly become low tension, without knowing what to do.

Isaac then turned a serious look at Barletta.

"Mr. Barletta."

"Yes, sir"

"Good luck"

"but I'll do my best"

Barletta managed to nod, sweating cold at the odd force.

Meanwhile, around that time.

Havel and Marie sat side by side on the river, ready to fish.

The fishing rod was brought by Havel from his home, and the bait is an insect that came out flipping a nearby stone.

In addition to the Havels, soldiers and squires of the troops are sitting by the river fishing.

In the far downstream, some people seem to be entering the river and taking a bath in the water.

"I have to fish a lot today. Let's do our best to plug it in to Master Kazra and Isaac."

"Dear Habel, as was the case last time, it is still not possible for me, as a slave, to take time off from work..."

Marie has a troubled look on her face as she receives the baited fishing rod offered by Havel.

"It's Kazura's favor, thank you for letting me rest. Besides, if you don't rest when you can, you'll fall again like you did when we were there."

Marie used to fall asleep when she was a little girl with a fever.

It was caused by the fact that he was made to work without a holiday break because of his status as a slave and by the overlapping stress on top of the fact that he was originally sick and weak.

The main factor in stress is Alondo, my brother-in-law.

"So, but I can't leave it all to the others..."

"That's okay. Besides, you told me to play, and I don't know if I'd turn that down and work for you. Thank you for your generosity and play well."

This morning, the other squire called out to Marie to "play" as she always tried to get to work.

Marie is the youngest of the servants working at the Narson Mansion, and even the closest of his years is on three.

In the meantime, Marie, who works at all without complaining, was adored like her sister by everyone.

It never defied what the seniors said, and the attitude of constantly moving around trying to help the surroundings seemed highly appreciated.

"I don't even have a brother in Mr. Narson's mansion, and you can be a little more relaxed."

When I was at the Louson Mansion, my brother Alond was obsessed with Marie every once in a while, cursing and sometimes also waving violence.

As a result, Marie had the personality to constantly look around and move so as not to compromise Around's mood as much as possible.

Behind a hard-working attitude exists a fear of others.

Habel, who had shown a bare gesture to care about Marie for some reason since she was a young girl, had only once spoken straight to Alondo to stop the violence against Marie before joining the army.

But shortly afterwards, I was beaten to death by an exasperated arrondissement.

Havel completely atrophied by Alond's sudden behavior, which he had usually treated relatively amicably, and then just watched Marie faraway.

As the other servants pretended not to see it in fear of the flames of damage, only my mother stood up and defended Marie.

The mother was also sold out by her father Knoll about five years ago on the grounds that she tends to be sick.

It was shortly after that that Havel enlisted in the army.

Sometimes enlistment during the war, after enlistment, he went to the battlefield after rapid training in the military and never returned home until the truce.

After returning from the battlefield, Havel began to take refuge in grandeur when he saw Arond hit hard against Marie.

As a matter of course, it became a punching fight over and over, but since both of us were beaten up by a seemingly knoll, there hasn't been a violent shakedown.

By the way, the next day after he had a fight over the beating, Arond was treating Havel like he didn't have a fight or something.

Even so, as a havel, it was no longer there, as I used to knock and tease a lot of light mouths that touched the eclampsia.

"Yes......"

Without worrying about Marie, who nods with a seemingly complicated look, Havel waves her fishing rod with her face facing the river.

"You seem pretty busy every day, but are you feeling all right? If you feel weak or sick, tell Master Kazura or Mr. Eira immediately."

"That's okay. Since I started working at Master Narson's mansion, I've been feeling really good every day."

"Right. How's it going with the other servants?

"Yes, you guys make it so much better. Especially since Eira cares so much..."

"Mr. Eira seems like a good person to take care of. I'm glad you're such a sweet senior."

"Yes...... Um, thank you so much for something for me. I don't know what to thank..."

Havel smiled bitterly with her eyes on the water as she glanced at Marie.

"I'd love for you to treat me with a little more smashed attitude. Well, I'm not saying I can't."

"Also, sorry! Uh... brother..."

Havel stroked her pong and stroked Marie's head as she called her brother in a hurry.

My heart is full of unsatisfactory feelings, but I don't give it a look.

"Look, even if you have a fishing rod that way, you can't catch fish. The fish are in the water. Did you know that?

"Yes! Yikes...... ah! The needle's in my clothes!

Marie is panicking as she wields the needle caught in her clothes with each pole.

"What are you going to do fishing for yourself..."

When Havel put his fishing rod aside, for Christ's sake, he held Marie down and removed the needle.
