An evening after a dozen days.

Ichigo was sitting on the couch in his own room, spreading a thick book on his lap.

The book deals with the history of the rise and fall of the ancient Roman Empire.

It describes the lives of the people at the time and how the Romans have crossed with their external enemies.

"Just now! I'm tired!

Forgetting the time and reading through it, the door to the room opened and Reese came in.

Not dressed as usual, just a perfect outfit under armor.

My hair looked like I had just untied my dough head and had a loose wave on it.

"Welcome home. Good luck."

"That, what about Valletta?

"You haven't come back yet. Looks like he's got a lot going on, and he hasn't come back."

From the day after the rebellion of the Rouson family, Barletta went out every day until midnight to keep her from coming back to the mansion.

He said he was running to fill Arond's missing hole, but even if Ichigo offered to help him, he had been turned down as' okay '.

"Oh well... I haven't been back till midnight lately, and that sounds tough. I knew I'd try to follow you tomorrow. I don't think I can do anything technical, but I think I can help a little bit."

When Reese came under Ichigo, she sat down next to Sutto to her left.

From the side, take a peek at the book Yiliang is reading.

"Wow, that's such a thick book. Could it be a book of war? It also depicts something like a monster."

The open page depicted a large number of soldiers surrounding the elephant.

An armored war elephant has several soldiers on his back and is raging in the center of soldiers with swords and spears in their hands.

"A book of war, or a book of history."

"History? Is it the history of God's kingdom?

"Well, that's the place. It's a book of history focused on a country called the Roman Empire."

"It is... what is this monster?

"It's an elephant, a creature many times the length of a person's back."

It seems that Reese became interested in the contents of the book and began to ask questions about the illustrations depicted.

Yiliang reads the text and answers the question.

"Well, God's world was at war just like ours. They're pretty similar."

"Well, if you're similar, you're similar."

"Why were you reading a book like this?

"Um, I was wondering if there was anything I could help you with."

"Weapons, tactics?

"That's true, too, but I wonder what kind of movement the country that has become a dirt ground will make. Mr. Knoll and Mr. Alond are gone, and I'm worried about what will happen to Gregorn territory."

Since then, Alond's news has remained uninterrupted.

Apparently, he's been leaving for Gregorn territory for a few days before the incident, but he has no idea what happened after his arrival in Gregorn territory at the heart.

"Oh well... you mean technology has spilled over to Barbell. Alondo's gone, which means we got the mill, the new harness, that one too."

"... it hasn't been decided yet that it is"

A good arm with a book entangles the arms of Leese all the time.

"Oh, my God, you... are so cold!

"I'm already a full body bee. My ears and cheeks are like ice."

"Oh, were you training for troop command today?"

"Yeah. It's cold because I've been crossing the lata. The armor gets cold on the kinks, and the sword looks like ice on the pattern."

"You're not weaving coats or feathers? Do you use your sword even though you're training for command?"

"I wear a coat, but when I give instructions, I just wield my sword, so it makes little sense. The snow was falling all the time, and it was cold and I was dying."

With that said, Reese stuck her cheeks on a good shoulder.

Unwrap the arms that were tangled and slide your hands as cold as ice under a good jacket.

"Uh-huh!?"

"Hehe. Brother, you're in good shape."

"No, don't! Seriously, stop it! Cold!!"

"Be patient until my hands warm."

"If your hands are cold, you can hit the fireplace!

"Er. It's warm, smells good, and I'd rather have a rash. When I go to bed at night, I'd rather have a rash than a hot tub."

Leese and the others were given one hot pot at a time when they returned to Japan.

There seemed to be no tools like hot tubs in this world, and when I explained how to use them, everyone said, "Did you have those hands!" He was hitting his knee.

One of them was immediately delivered to the pottery maker as a sample and is now produced in dozens of units per day.

"Hih! No, don't! Don't be silly!"

"It's okay, it's not going to decrease. Ihihi."

"My hands are nasty, you are! Don't talk like an old man with a pretty face!

"Praised!

"I didn't praise you!?"

From a good knee as he tried to escape Leese, the book fell to the floor with a buckwheat claw.

Reese grabs a good arm stretched out to the floor to pick it up.

Leese stayed put and pushed Guru YiLiang down on the couch.

"Wow, what the..."

You haven't been well lately, have you?

Leese looks down on the good as she pushes it down.

"... that's not true"

"I do. I'm always looking at Kazura."

Geez, the sound of the couch squeaking in the room.

"Kazla's not bad. I have no choice but to assign work over there to all sorts of people, and I can't do it all with just someone I can totally trust."

……

"It's not your fault. Don't really think of it."

Ichigo couldn't say anything to the glance that seemed clear in his heart.

How can this girl always easily spot what she thinks?

"This time, I just happened to be unlucky. I didn't know I'd betrayed the Louson family, and Arond was so good that he decided to leave the job to me."

When Arond disappeared, a detailed summary of his plans for future work was left in his room neatly tidied.

I wondered why such a thing had been left behind when it came to exile in Barbell, but Habel said, 'Isn't it making evidence to excuse that you didn't intend to, in case you failed to exile and were caught en route'?

The fact that only a few servants and servants were taken also meant that they were fully equipped to be detected in exile.

There are also some things that were missing.

This is a copy of the blueprints he kept of the mill, Tang Yu (and Umi), ore grinder, screw press and harness.

It is certain that those drawings were brought up, as they took the backing that the depositary was alond to the craftsman who copied the drawings.

Blueprints for blast furnaces, hand pumps, forging machines and other machine tools are forbidden to be taken out to the outside world and have never been in his hands.

Since multiple workshops manufacture parts individually for machine tools, it is very likely that the behavior will reach Barretta's ears even after trying to get the drawings individually from those craftsmen, which is too risky if you try from Alondo.

When the fact turns out that Alondo was unlikely to have brought up a blueprint for machine tools, Ichigo remembers that Zirconia and Narson had expressions of cardiac relief.

"... but if we segregate the roles more and isolate the people involved"

"But it's forbidden. I can't help it."

"Oh, wow."

Reese chuckled and put her hand on a good cheek.

"Don't push me alone. If you really don't like it, you can throw it all out."

"Hey, can you throw that out?"

"Why?"

"Why..."

"God, are you going to help me? Because the people of this country pray, God of mercy and abundance?

"... no. I'm not. I'm not."

With Reese smiling, she tilts her little neck.

"I'm not a god. I come from another world, just a human being."

"Yeah."

"Yeah, you..."

"Finally, you taught me."

Reese smiles and strokes her good head.

"... you're not surprised"

"I don't know, but I thought that was the place to be. Kazura, you don't look like a god at all."

"Ugh... you're right... well, you're not mad at me? I've been fooling you ever since."

"I'm not mad at you. I can't be mad at you for being so hard for us."

And Reese put his hand upon his cheek, which was stroking his good head.

Sounds lovely, gently glancing at your cheeks with your fingertips.

"Anyone can't carry it all on their own like it's hard or painful. I think if I don't have someone who can make a weak noise, one day it will crumble."

"... right"

"So! From now on, whether it's Kazra's weak voice or his stupidity, this Mr. Reese will hear it all for you! Don't worry, I'll keep secrets strictly! Drinking alcohol won't be a problem! Me, because I will never get drunk!!"

Reese wakes herself up and slaps herself in the chest more and more to say it away.

I laugh unexpectedly at that strange behavior.

"I don't know about you...... no thanks. He cares."

"So he said you don't have to worry about that. I'll get a proper consultation fee."

"Oh, you're taking the money"

"It's not money. Oh, but I guess I need a little money."

That said, grab a good arm and cause it.

"Go play! With a treat for Kazura!

"Well, it's evening to play, isn't it? It's time for dinner..."

"You can eat outside! We're gonna play till tonight!

Reese pulled a good hand and forced him to get up off the couch.

"Wow, okay, so don't pull it. I mean, do you go with that outfit?

"It's a waste of time. I'm going to weave one feather on top of something like this. Can't you?

"Well, I hope you're okay with that..."

"Yay! Go, go, go!"

Ichiyoshi smiles bitterly and is drawn to the door.

"Reese."

Where Reese hung her hand on the door knob, Ichigo spoke up.

She looks back and tilts her little neck.

"Thanks."

"... hihi"

"Hey, what's that laugh?"

"I don't care. I don't care. Look, let's go!

Reese answered in a very good mood and opened the door with momentum.
