Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

After Ichirano was on his way to Japan, Baretta was coming to the woods with Reese and the children of the village.

Zirconia wants to look around the village, leaving a message with Eira and the others.

"There it is! Master Reese, over here!

We find a giant tree that is about to rot, and the children pull Reese's hand and rush over.

"Is there an Arcadian bug here?

"That's right! He's hiding in here!

One of the boys pulled the surface of the fallen tree with his hands and stuck out a tiny Arcadian worm larvae from the inside.

Pay wood scraps with your breath and offer them to Liese.

"Yes! You can eat it!

"... uh, eating, like this? Raw?"

"Yeah. It's delicious!

With an innocent smile, the boy tries to hand the larvae to Reese.

"Uh, I'm a bit raw..."

"Why?

"Hey, why..."

With Reese's pulled smile, he sends Baretta a gaze for help.

"Maybe you've never eaten raw ones? It's mellow and delicious."

"It's not like that, it's a bit like keeping it moving... and I don't really like bugs per se..."

To Reese's answer, the kids said, "Huh?" and raise a dissatisfied voice.

"Really? Then you'll pick some nuts instead. I think this is a good time to have Kua's fruit."

"Oh, then I'll be with you"

"Master Reese catches potato worms with us!

"Don't go!

"Ugh, like I get it... I don't really want to touch it..."

Leese nods in a cheeky manner as the children snort at her.

"Haha...... then, Master Reese, please these kids"

"Yeah, come back soon..."

Leaving the children to Liese, Barletta walked to the back of the woods.

Reese, who had her eyes on the fallen tree, looked back and stared at her back like that.

"Master Reese, what's wrong?

A girl noticed how it was, tilted her little neck.

"... yeah, it's nothing. Potato bug."

"Yeah!"

Leese nodded at the girl who was hiding around here.

After breaking up with the Reese, Barletta walked for a few minutes and found a shrub with lots of purple fruit like a very small grain of grapes in chunks.

It is a sweet and sour forest fruit that can only be picked this time of year.

It won't be on the market much because if you harvest it, it will hurt you without holding it for two days.

Lift the skirt up a little and use it as a receptacle, picking one puff at a time and picking the nuts.

"Hey, hey, Barletta, sister"

As Barletta turned around, the Colts stood a few meters away.

Apparently, he snuck up on me.

Colts is twitching, moving his gaze to the right and to the left.

"Oh, Colts, you're here, too. What's the matter with you?

Barletta turns around and smiles.

The Colts glanced up at Barletta after a few words.

"You know, Master Kazura and your sister, it's like they're fighting. Your sister doesn't seem to care anymore, so tell Master Kazura to make up for it."

"What, you mean Sister, Master Ormachiol?

"Yeah. Sister, it's mean, I'm sorry, Master Kazura. If we don't, we probably won't be able to make up. He said he was going to see me next time, but if we got into another fight, it'd be tough, so I thought I'd have to tell you first."

"Fighting, why are you fighting?

"I don't know. But your sister is so sweet and I've never seen anything angry, so I'm sure Kazura did something."

"Oh yeah...... uh, I just need you to tell me, does that person do something unusual or something?

"Something unusual?

Barletta nods at the neck tilting colts.

"Yeah. Like lighting a fire in an instant, or shadow shapes aren't human"

"I don't know because I've never cared about the shadows, and I've never seen them light a fire. Oh, but I'll be standing right behind you at some point. I've been surprised many times. And then you'll disappear somewhere in an instant."

"Oh well..."

From what I've heard, it still doesn't seem like the person is human.

Barletta was relieved to conclude that he was not from the same Japan as Ichirano.

"Do you hear that person's name?

"So, Master Olmachiol, right?

"That's what you asked yourself?

"Just once. 'You're Master Ormachiol, aren't you?' I've heard of it. But he looked in trouble, so I try to call him 'sister'. He taught me swordsmanship, and I'm sure it's Olmasiol."

Barletta heard it and remembered that she had previously said from Sylvestria: 'The Colts used the shape of a two-handed sword as little as it is now used'.

I wonder if it's Master Ormachiol after all, inside.

"You can't apologize to your sister and tell Master Kazura what I was saying. It's gonna be like I told you."

"Yeah, I get it. I'll tell Mr. Kazra."

"Yeah!"

The Colts replied fine in a relieved manner, as the chest grasp had been removed.

"Kua Nut, I'll pick it too!

"Yeah. Let's pick a lot and go home."

That's how they lined up and picked up Kua's fruit.

Around that time, at Balin Mansion, Zirconia and Balin were sitting across from each other in the enclosure.

A pan with water is sprinkled behind the furnace and the water is boiling.

Zirconia, as usual, has a serene expression.

Is Balin nervous or sweating on his forehead?

"… Indeed, the village manufactures weapons. If it's true, you should tell Master Narson from me.

thought...... I can't help it "

"You don't have to apologize for anything. Don't interfere with the village, Mr. Kazra tells you to be tough. 'Cause I don't even have the balls to blame you."

Zirconia smiles at Balin, who bows her head deeply.

Soon after Yiliang and Barletta left the village, Zirconia visited Balin to ask about the manufacture of weapons in the village.

The results were astonishing.

Multiple types of attack weapons and arrows with iron special shapes are stored in large quantities in the village.

They continue to make it every day, although it is still a little bit.

"I've only ever seen one weapon from Barletta, but I didn't think they kept making that many. Where do you keep it in the village?

"I keep it in a warehouse I made in the heart of the village. Can you see it?

"Hmmm...... I don't know what to do. I also find it tempting to look at Valletta in silence on her own...... Besides, you shouldn't tell Mr. Kazra, should you?

"Yes, Valletta tells me it's tight, so if possible, you can keep it a secret"

"But if you keep hiding it and making it, wouldn't it be a bad time when Mr. Kazra beats you with some kind of clap?

"That's true... I don't even know how Baretta feels, so as far as I'm concerned, it's hard to say"

Balin sighs, as in sincere trouble.

And when I lifted my face, I opened my mouth with a granny.

"One, may I ask you something?

"Yeah, whatever you want"

"Is the war with Barbell going to happen again?

"It's definitely going to happen. Not immediately, but by the time the truce is over, it's bound to happen."

To the zirconia she uttered, Balin roared in arms.

"… means that sooner or later Mr. Kazra will know about the weapons he is building in the village"

"Yeah. So I think we should tell him this as soon as possible. I can't tell you from my mouth, so it would help if you persuaded Baretta."

"Is that persuasive... I didn't know that stubborn daughter would break..."

"Right... that girl, you wouldn't ask me if I told you, would you?

"Yes. Most things break from me to suit them, but I will never bend this and what I decide to do. It's like you're looking at a dead wife."

Zirconia smiles bitterly at Balin scratching her head.

"This may sound strange to me, but did your wife die in the war?

"Yes, I heard it was in the hands of an enemy soldier who broke through a defensive position at his last meeting five years ago."

"Yes... the tomb is in the village?

"No, I buried him with my companion's body in the place of the hill consolation tablet. Because I wasn't in such a condition to take you home."

"Oh well... you've made me feel hard. I apologize on behalf of the Istell family. I'm so sorry."

"Yes, no! Not like Master Zirconia apologizes! Heads up, please!

Balin raises her voice as she warms up to Zirconia, who bows her head deeply.

Zirconia heeded for a few seconds and slowly raised her face.

"Thanks, but I'm really sorry"

"It's a matter of no choice. It's nobody's fault."

Zirconia smiles at Balin's words.

"If you say so, you'll be saved... This is my personal opinion, but I want that girl to work with Mr. Kazra on the manufacture of weapons. You might get mad at me for saying this, but that girl is a tool... a weapon builder genius. Honestly, I think it's over Mr. Kazra."

"Well, that would be too much to buy anything at all. That Kazura... above Master Graciol is just..."

"No, I can't be overbought. It's just that that girl can't see around when it comes to Mr. Kazla. I'm trying to carry all the hard stuff for him instead. Besides, Mr. Kazra is not like Graciol. Normal people."

"What?"

Balin makes a decent face.

"You've been living and watching with him in the village, haven't you? Mr. Kazra is tired and injured if he works like a normal person. Even when the straw hut collapsed during this time, if you were unlucky, you would have stayed dead. That man must be a normal person from somewhere else..."

"No, Mr. Kazra is Mr. Graciol."

Zirconia looks surprised at Balin, who whispers and affirms his words.

"You know, I've always worshipped Mr. Kazra because I thought he was like Gracior, and now he might be confused to say this, but he really..."

"Dear Zirconia, that is not the case. It's not about being a god or anything, Mr. Kazra is our Graciol."

Zirconia stopped her words and nodded, "Oh," to Balin, who answered with a flamboyant look.

"Oh well... yeah, right. It doesn't matter if it's God or not."

"Yes, thanks to Mr. Kazra, we have been saved lives. And still, you're desperate to do your part for us, for those who live in this country. That one is the Savior to us, Master Gracior. Doesn't it matter who you are or what you do?"

Zirconia also loosens her cheeks to Balin, who laughs out loud.

"What Master Zirconia has just said should convince everyone in the village adults. That's why it doesn't change anything. Mr. Kazra is Mr. Kazra. That said, we must not be disrespectful, so we tell our children that Mr. Kazra is God."

"Heh heh, you guys are so much more grown up than me. I wish you guys knew he was a normal person, but I was worried sick."

Ugh, and Zirconia breathed, staring at the fire behind the furnace.

Zirconia's eyes shake in the flames behind the red-burning enclosure.

"... I suck, don't I? I'm not talking about revenge. Keep him this good and try to get him into the war. Because if it's that guy's personality, I know I can't pretend not to see it, and I'm trying to do it."

……

The water in the pan boiled.

Balin raises his hips and transfers hot water to a glass teapot with herbs (grown in the village) placed beside him.

"Dear Zirconia"

"Yeah?"

Zirconia looked up at the fluttering herbs in the teapot to Balin's call.

"We are the ones who had him save his life. For that matter, I am determined and prepared not to die. Use us as you please to fold things."

Zirconia smiles bitterly at the words.

"If I do that, I'll be resented by Mr. Kazra for the rest of my life."

"It's to protect Mr. Kazra. We need you to compromise."

"You...... oh, okay. I don't know if they resent me, but I'll take it."

Hand Zirconia a sighing zirconia a herbal tea put in a wooden cup by Balin.

For decades, silence ensued.

"… what I just said, I will correct it"

"Hmm?"

I drop my eyes on my cup and Balin crumbles.

"I want to protect that girl... this country where Barletta lives. Whatever you use,. And to do that, we need that one."

"... yeah"

"I'm the worst."

"'We', right? It's just a different purpose, and I'm doing the same thing. It really sucks already."

Zirconia laughed small, as she mocked herself.

"If you drink tea, why don't we come to the warehouse?"

"... right"

Zirconia nodded and put her mouth on the cup.
