Two nights later.

By the time it was a little past dinner time, the good guys had arrived at the square of the Narson Mansion.

The square is always idle at this hour, but oddly many carriages stop today.

Entry into and exit from the mansion also seemed intense, and several people were seen entering the mansion on a small run.

Narson came out of the mansion to pick him up when Ichiya, who got off the carriage first, was lending a hand to Barletta and Reese, who would come down later.

"Good luck, Lord Kazura. Much sooner on your way home...... what about that bandage on your head?

"That's what got me a little hurt and hung up."

When Ichigo answered, Narson raised his eyebrows a little surprised.

"Oh, my God, did I? Is the wound okay?

"Yeah, it's okay because it's not a big injury. Better yet, it seems to be a bit of a blur, is something wrong?

Ichigo says, looking at the servants entering and leaving the mansion at all costs.

"That suddenly led to the opening of the Feast of the New Years on our territory. We're in a hurry to get all the civilians and servants ready."

"New Year's Feast?... Oh, it was definitely the one where the leading players from all over the country gathered for a nocturnal greeting match"

"As it were, well, it's a banquet like that. In turn, it was supposed to be held in Gregorn territory this year, but a messenger came to me saying, 'I really want to give up my order in Istaire territory because the summer famine is so unpredictable' … I've been talking about wanting to change my hand around other territories for a long time, but I can't say no in that terrible situation, and I decided to take it on."

"What, is Gregorn territory in such a terrible state?

"It seems so. Support for our territory was also abruptly depressing, and I was wondering if I could help."

The story of a sudden decline in food support from Gregorn territory was grasped by Narson's story and the contents of the dossier.

But I didn't expect to be in so much trouble by now.

Besides, whatever it is, this time it seems too steep.

"Really... but why is it Istell territory?

"As I say, the rapid reconstruction of our territory is clearly unusual. I suppose the lords and royalties of other realms are going to confirm with their own eyes what the state is, in fact, in the name of the feast. Perhaps it is this request from the Wang capital to work on Gregorn soil."

"I see... Whatever it is, it's going to be hard"

"Right. Well, let's get around to it. By the way, have you eaten?

"I haven't eaten yet. We're all hungry, so we need you to hurry up and get ready."

"Okay, let's get it ready right away. I'm ready for a bath, so why don't you go in first?

"Right, let me do that"

Thus, the conversation was cut off once and we were to eat after the bath.

After dinner, Ichigo was gathering everyone in the work room next to his room and spreading his souvenirs to the table.

Eira and Marie are also in their seats, but Marie is shrinking in a way she's afraid she won't calm down.

"Yes, this is Mr. Barletta. This is Liese."

Hand them one elegant Kiryu box at a time.

When Reese received the box, she let her eyes shine in anticipation.

"Can I open it?

"Ouch."

In response, everyone opens the lid simultaneously.

"Wow!? What is this? Awesome!!

Reese raised her amazement at the tumblr of two blue Edo incisions peeking from inside.

I had hoped in advance for a clear blue glass cup, but I didn't expect it to be so finely crafted.

Each bought a set of two different objects with the same color pattern in them.

By the way, the price is about 20,000 yen for a set.

It is also available for Isaac and Havel, which is to be delivered tomorrow by Marie.

Because Havel has been overseeing work here at the new opening lately, so it is rare to come to the Narson Mansion while traveling back and forth from home to the scene.

"It's so beautiful... it's like a gem"

Take the orange tumbler and Barletta leaks her admiration as she leaks against the light of the LED light pouring down from the ceiling.

Zirconia was also taking the red tumbler and leaking her impressed voice of "ooh".

Marie is stuck staring at a pretty pink tumbler as she leaves her lid off.

Eira isn't so surprised even though she looks frightened because she often looks at glass teapots.

"What are you talking about? It's glass, so it's not a gem."

"So is that.... Does this mean this is a cup made of gems? It's also the finest quality."

"If you think about it, it's a hell of a substitute..."

"Right......"

Reese and Barletta are staring at them in their hands and breathing in relief.

"And to Mr. Zirconia, this too. It's a plate for oyster ice."

Zirconia smiled happily as she gave her clear red oyster ice dish.

"Well, thank you. Let me start using it today."

"Ki, are you starting today?"

"Yes, this plate is going to make oyster ice taste better than ever...... Narson, what's wrong?

Noticed Narson solidifying with a peek inside the box, Zirconia peeks into the box from the side.

"What, that's amazing"

"What is it?

To the zirconia that opens his eyes, Reese tilts his neck.

"Hey, what an awkward substitute... I didn't know something like this existed..."

Narson, saying so, took it out of the box.

"Wow, wow"

"It's beautiful..."

To its beauty, Liese and Barletta leaked their surprise.

It was a rock glass made up of two colors: amber and green.

The bottom surface is dark amber, with green and amber gradients on the inside, and dark green as we proceed from there to the two sides.

Similar to the tumblers held by other faces, a fine Edo incision was also applied.

The price is 30,000 yen per item, a little higher than what we all have.

"I forgot to ask Mr. Nalson what color he wanted, so I brought it to see if it was personal. It's beautiful, isn't it?

"Yes. But are you sure you want this kind of item?

"Go ahead. 'Cause it's always a thank you I get better."

"Thank you. But it's like us who are getting better..."

"Fair enough, isn't it?"

Then, because of this, I decided to drink something, and Narson brought a few bottles of "preserved" fruit liquor from his room into a silver bottle and poured it around himself.

In the center of the table are arranged knobs such as salted fruit and meat, in a situation like a little banquet.

Barletta said she didn't like alcohol, so she's drinking barley tea instead of fruit liquor.

Zirconia had made a pile of oyster ice while Narson was out of his seat and carried it to his mouth as if to take back what he hadn't been able to eat in the past few days.

"Ho, is the construction going so well?"

"Yes, we are proceeding at an even faster pace as we no longer have to struggle from the stone cutting yard to carry stones and process them. Mortar is really convenient when shaped and freely shaped, even though it's overwhelmingly cheaper than stone."

Answered by red-faced Narson, shaking to enjoy the movement of fruit liquor in the glass.

It's only my second drink, but it doesn't seem to be very liquor-resistant.

In exchange, Reese hasn't changed her complexion one by one, and she drinks grumpy, hopefully delicious.

"It's going too fast, and this minute is going to shorten the construction time on a yearly basis. Especially if you jump."

"What, jump?

I don't know what it's for. I lean my neck. For the best, Narson snorts.

"The artisans at the scene have modified their jumping gear and invented tools to lift and unload their luggage. Work efficiency has jumped because things can be raised and lowered easily to heights."

"Remodeling... oh, you're holding things up with the Seesaw principle"

"Well, is that the Seesaw principle? We hear that the craftsmen attached a movable pedestal to it so that they could quickly move it anywhere and lift and unload their luggage."

What Narson is talking about is a lifting device that builds a strut in the center of a long stick, just like a jumper, builds heavy baggage on one side of it, and pulls the other side up and lifts it.

It would be like a manpower version of a crane car used at a Japanese building site or something.

"There also seems to be a tool that further modifies it to wrap the rope around the wheel and lift the luggage little by little while turning it with a handle on the wheel. You think it's convenient without eating a place, and it seems to be treasured in a small place."

"Oh, you're all working hard. I'm very motivated to invent tools."

"I'm letting anything that achieves noticeable results take a reward, so I thought it might have an impact. If you build your fort faster, it will be very helpful because you can focus on opening it near the fort and curing the Isteria in case of war for that matter. Your budget will float dramatically, and you'll do all you can."

"Right. But the craftsmen are amazing. I can't believe I invented such a tool in this short period of time."

"I think I was inspired by the novelty of the machines and tools that Lord Kazra taught me. More tools may be developed in the future."

"That's a good trend. If the site is so motivated, the construction is cheap."

"Yes, and since the introduction of timber mills has begun, we expect to be able to significantly reduce costs even though the speed of timber processing is getting faster than before. However, the construction is going too fast to keep up with the supply of materials, so we have to make haste there as well. I didn't have enough sand to use for the mortar ingredients, and I tried finely grinding gravel and mixing it in small amounts to increase the amount to try it, and it worked, and it's in a state of delusion and delusion. I'm a little worried about the quality."

"Oh, that's okay. Rather, it's gaining strength. I didn't say I thought it would cost a lot of material, but mixing crushed gravel with mortar would be a building material called concrete."

"Mm, really? Craftsmen in our territory are pretty good at inventing new building materials without realizing it. The ore crusher must also be mass produced and sent to the site as soon as possible. Ha ha."

Because of the booze in it, Narson is a lot more tense than usual.

I was in a pretty good mood because of how well things were going in the territory.

"But if the construction is going on so well, I'd like to go check out that fort for once"

"Oh, I appreciate that. It would be helpful if you could inspect it. Besides, use the hand pump we talked about before to scrap the pit with water..."

"Hey, that's about it for work, let's talk more fun. See, Kazura, drink more alcohol too. This is delicious."

When Narson was about to say it, Leese, who took a seat, put her hand on a good shoulder (better not hurt) and offered her a tumbler.

Rarely are you a little drunk, your face is slightly red.

"Hmm. Right."

Yiliang took a sip when he received it from Reese.

A very elegant, fruity sweet scent spreads through the nasal cavity.

It has a strong sweetness and tastes close to dessert wine.

"Ugh, delicious this. I've never had such delicious fruit liquor...... what's up?

Unexpectedly impressed, he noticed that Reese was seeing it as Niyaniya.

"Nfu, indirect kiss"

"A child, you are."

"Uh, what's that reaction? It's boring."

Different from the expected reaction, Reese is swelling her cheeks.

"Why don't you drink this too, Mr. Barletta? It's so sweet, you can drink it like juice."

"I'll drink!

Valletta receives the tumbler that Ichiyoshi offered immediately.

"Eh, I refused to drink when I recommended earlier..."

"Reese, would you give me a glass of that, too? The one I've been looking forward to, and I haven't actually had a sip yet."

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's the last one in the cup that Barletta has."

When Reese answered, Narson erased his expression and turned to the truth.

"Oh my God... that's a super rare exotic fine drink I took from Wang Du... I heard it was softer and tastier when I was old, so don't open it all the time..."

"Don't worry, there are still many others. Are Eira and Marie drinking, too? I rarely drink this good alcohol, so you should drink a lot."

"True, they're all delicious.... Marie, are you okay? Haven't you been drinking a lot since just now?

"It's okay... it's kind of a good feeling..."

Marie has a tranced look while holding the pink tumbler with both hands looking important.

I have been drinking quite a bit as recommended by Reese for a while now, but my skin was just slightly red and I was smiling all the time.

"Oh, Mr. Barletta, you can drink normally."

"This is not very alcoholic and sweet and delicious. You can drink this."

"Sure, you don't look very alcoholic. How about a drink over here?

"Yes, I'll take it"

"Mr. Kazura, this fruit liquor will go great with oyster ice."

When Ichiyoshi was pouring liquor on Valletta, Zirconia offered half melted oyster ice from across the table.

"Oh, thank you. I mean, Mr. Zirconia's face is bright red. Aren't you drinking too much?

Zirconia has a bright red face and neck muscles and even looks a little fluttered.

It looks perfectly ready.

"It's okay. Because I grew up in the mountains."

"No, I don't know what that means...... oh sure this is delicious"

When Ichigo carried the spoon to his mouth, Zirconia did the trick of putting his hand on his cheek and illuminating it.

"It's an indirect kiss..."

"You too. I mean, what are you talking about in front of your own husband, you drunk?"

"Hey Reese, the bottle over here is empty too, did you drink it all by yourself?

"Oh, that was vacated by your mother. What I've vacated is this and this."

"You guys are going to drink it all up by the end of the night..."

That's how the liquor platter ended up late at night.

Barletta still didn't accept the alcohol, or after a while she suddenly blued and dashed to the bathroom, and after returning, she was stuck at the table in a glocky state.

Leese and Marie were the only ones who didn't crush it eventually, and the other faces were completely crushed.
