Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

"Oh, it's the roe."

Ichiyoshi cheeks the rice balls.

There were about ten small rice balls in the middle of the table, all wrapped in seaweed.

Barletta sits next to Ichigo and Marie sits face-to-face, carrying rice balls into her mouth.

"I'm sorry. I made it in a hurry, so I couldn't figure out what equipment was in it..."

Looking sober, Marie bows her head.

Marie tried to stand on the wall as usual, but she suggested we eat together.

By the way, what Marie is now holding is a tuna mayo rice balls.

They have five types: roasted roe, tuna mayo, plum dried, weird, and fried mushrooms with chicken (from different worlds).

"No, no, it's good to know the utensils after you eat them. Hey, Mr. Barletta."

……

"Mr. Barletta?

"What!? Oh, yes! What is it!?

Barletta, who was chewing on the plum rice balls in a pompous manner, answers in a hurry.

There was one grain of rice stuck to the edge of my mouth.

"Oh, well, if it doesn't seem to fit your mouth, give me something else..."

"Oh, no, you're not! It's okay, because it's delicious!

"Ha, ha"

Marie nods bewildered at Barletta in a strange way.

"Still, you brought it a lot faster. It's almost like it hasn't been long since we came into the room."

"Yes. Me, as soon as I came back to the mansion, I thought of Kazura's meal, and I was making rice balls. That's where your brother came to convey the instructions from Master Reese..."

"Oh, were you so distracted? That's Mr. Marie. Thanks."

"Yes! Eh heh"

That's how the three of us were eating rice balls, and I heard them running down the hallway.

Bang, and the door opens without a knock.

"Dear Kazura!

"Mr. Isaac! Wake up..."

Isaac, who jumped into the room, lowered his head in such a momentum that his head would stick to the floor, even though Ichigo could speak up.

"Sorry!! I've been asleep before, without being able to report directly to you! Congratulations without saving Zirconia."

"Ah, Mr. Isaac, shall we calm down once? Sit over there."

Ichigo recommends Marie's next seat to Isaac, who starts apologizing with tremendous momentum.

"Oh, no! That's what happens to me."

"Yeah. You know, I'm eating."

Yiliang says as she scratches her pompous cheeks.

Isaac looked up and bowed his head in momentum again.

"Huh! I'm sorry"

"Just sit down."

"Yes, sir"

Pissed and scolded, Isaac takes his seat.

"Eat the rice balls"

"What, but"

"Eat."

"Yes."

Gu, and Isaac, who is dished and holds a rice balls.

I started eating Momogu and finally became quiet.

"Uh, how's Mr. Ixios? Are you still asleep?

"No, he was awake before me. Looks good too." How long have you been asleep, "he shrugged..."

"Did you! I've been worried because I heard you were asleep the whole time. Isaac's looking good, too."

Isaac shrugged his shoulder like he was frightened when Ichigo said in a relieved manner.

"Ha, yes...... Um, I'm so sorry. What an apology..."

"No, you don't have to apologize. Besides, what happened this time was kind of my responsibility."

"What!? Yes, no, no, no."

"No! It's not Mr. Kazra's fault!!

Barletta, who was silently watching the interaction, shouted out loud, wearing Isaac's words.

Everyone's gaze gathers on her.

"The bad news is that Barbell has broken the truce and attacked us! Mr. Kazra is not bad!! Besides, if we put more troops in the fort..."

"Ba, Mr. Barletta, calm down..."

"Ah... sorry"

He is served well and shuts his mouth as Barretta snaps.

Yiliang coughed one up and cheeked up the rice balls he had.

"Mogugu...... Anyway, even for me, I was looking too sweetly at Barbell. I thought if we weighed our diplomatic relations with other countries, there was no way we could do anything risky to break an agreement... I didn't expect you to attack us all of a sudden"

To a good word, Isaac nods.

"Yes, Master Narson didn't seem to expect an attack so soon either"

"Speaking of which, you said it would be after next summer, no matter how soon, even if you were to break the truce and attack me."

"Yeah. Plus, he didn't see any such signs in Barbell's capital or the Senate prior to this attack. The Sixth Corps of Barbell, stationed in front of the fort along the border, also seemed to have paid for the Corps fortress for training."

"Sure, the 10th Legion was the only one that attacked me this time"

"Yes."

"... this could be"

"Yes, it is possible that the Tenth Army of the enemy has launched an arbitrary attack"

"... Mr. Narson, I didn't say anything"

When Ichiyoshi leaked pompously, Isaac waved in haste in front of his chest.

"Yes, no! This is from what my father told me, I just guessed on my own! I thought Master Narson didn't talk to you because he wasn't sure yet!

"... hmm"

Ichiyoshi thinks with his arms together.

If this attack is arbitrary by some forces of the enemy, what is their intention?

If the attack was carried out without instructions from the superiors, which would also have broken the truce agreement, it would have been quite important.

There will be severe punishment for those responsible for enemy forces, and diplomatic relations with other countries will deteriorate at an irrevocable level.

If I'm bad, it seems like instead of being severely punished, they're going to take responsibility and hit me in the neck.

"Actually, in this surprise attack, I'm concerned."

"What do you care, sir?

"Yes."

Ichiyoshi turns a blind eye to Barletta.

Valletta confirmed that she nodded and Ichigo opened her mouth.

"The weapon the enemy used this time, that's Trebuschett."

"Trevuchette?"

"My world...... it is an attack weapon that existed in God's world. Structure isn't that hard."

"Huh!?

The unexpected words made Isaac a little face.

"Maybe, but there could be someone similar to me on the enemy's side. But for that matter..."

"Oh, no! Which way the hell are you!? Master Ormachiol (God of War)?!? Dear Guyelsior (God of Commerce)!?

How shocking it was, Isaac got himself on the table.

"Oh, no, uh..."

"Maybe, I'm talking about. Besides, I don't think he's likely to be there."

Everyone's gaze gathers at Barletta.

"Uh, no? What makes you think that?

One good turned a surprising face to Barletta's words, which went against expectations.

"Because we don't see technological innovation in Barbell. Technically speaking, technological advances in internal affairs are too slow compared to those in our countries. We haven't talked about an explosion in agricultural production, or about the invention of new agricultural machinery. It seems that we are still using a large number of ren furnaces (small furnaces with manual fuses) on the slopes of the mountains."

"... Indeed"

So far, when it comes to the new technology in Barbell that we have been able to confirm, it is only a massive military reform, a large stone thrower used in this attack on the fort, plus the construction of a large ship and iron equipment.

Military reform and the invention of iron weapons are not unnatural if we consider them to be needlessly pressing and newly braided technologies, in the wake of the critical situation of deterioration of war stations and the depletion of tin.

The same applies to the construction of large ships, recently confirmed.

It can be thought of as having invented a tornado (keel) that allows sharp iron tools that are good at processing wood to be used and that can greatly improve the strength of the ship, as well as the fabrication of superior ship tension and lateral plates.

A dragonbone is a thick piece of wood that is stretched from bow to stern.

Even on Earth, a large ship with a tornado first appeared after an iron vessel was invented.

If the likes of the best were in Barbell, they would have introduced water trucks and mills, like Arcadia, or brought in earth fertilizers to increase agricultural production.

Because compost is fairly inexpensive per weight, it should be possible to bring it into the world in tens of tons, even if it doesn't have the financial power to do so.

As far as the manufacture of iron vessels is concerned, there is no possibility that they are using efficient furnaces somewhere, like sneaky blast furnaces.

But if so, would the Barbell leaders allow wasted spending such as building a massive ren furnace, not to mention the fiscal pressures being made right after the war?

"And obsidian...... the distribution of glass also supports that. The only high quality coloured glass still flowing on the dark market is that brought to you by Mr. Kazura and processed into small grains. Low quality glass full of bubbles seems to circulate quite a bit though"

"Uhm... does this mean that the Trebuschett that the enemy has used this time is a weapon that we devised ourselves? Or..."

"Yes, there's someone like Mr. Kazra in the 10th legion, and maybe the legions keep it a secret"

"Hmmm......"

Ichigo arms up and thinks.

At first, it seems like the story goes through, but it's really hard to tell if someone like the best is on the other side.

If so, the existence of the tenth legion of Barbell is not a dangerous place to talk about.

You'll question the unusual strength of the walls in this attack, and you'll soon notice that you're using mortar.

Water trucks and stone lifts (the original machines in this world) should also be caught, so it's not surprising to doubt the existence of a good one.

"But that doesn't turn out to be a pretty bad situation."

"Yes, the only salvation is that this attack could be arbitrary for the 10th Legion"

"... I see that if you now hold firm with the Barbell leadership, working with each other won't be the first thing in the flow. Per the Legion Leader, they'll take extra responsibility. Before you say that, you may be disposed of as a rebel."

"Yeah. Either way, I think we'll be clear in the near future. Because we're not the only ones in a hurry."

"Right......"

Fu, the white girl I saw in the fort's defensive tower came to a good head.

Maybe he was just an ordinary person, but he is intensely impressed because he felt so out of place.

If she was the same person from Earth as herself.

- I wonder if we can manage to resolve this with a discussion.

He shook off the idea that had sprung up, and Ichigo reached for the second rice balls.

"Yes, yes. I'd also like to talk to Isaac and Marie about food."

"Mr. Kazra..."

Barletta looks a little nervous with her eyes.

"It's okay. Because it's just for someone you can trust."

"... Yes"

Seeing Barletta snort, Ichigo turned his attention to Isaacs.

Isaac, who was solidified in a mid-waist position, hurriedly lowered his back to his seat.

You're not keeping up with the story, Marie keeps the rice balls in her hand and puffy.

"Every meal I'm about to have, you two make sure you eat the food I brought you. Because it has amazing powers, like the people of the village of Grisea."

"What!?

Isaac raised his voice to his surprise.

Marie doesn't show any big reactions and looks at the rice balls in her hand alternately with Ichigo.

I never put it in my mouth before, but I guess I noticed it somehow.

"Actually, if I continue to consume the food I bring, my physical abilities will be greatly improved. That's why they were paying attention to the handling of food."

"Oh, did you? I just think Kazura is directly empowering me..."

"Well, that's what I was up to, too. We should have done this sooner, too, to Mr Zirconia and Liese. I'm sorry."

Ichigo clouds his expression.

Seeing that, Isaac panicked and rose again.

"Master Kazura doesn't have to apologize! On the contrary, it's enough not to thank you for how much!

"Yes. Thank you."

Isaac lowered his back, sayin 'a good thing about the momentum.

I've felt it a lot for a long time, but this kind of place of him is very similar to Barletta's.

"So, I'm going to ask Mr. Narson and Mr. Havel to have this power, too. And I want the Kingsguards and the escorts to have this power..."

"Ho, is that true! That's not enough to fear Barbell or anything else! Absolutely."

"Ma, wait!

When Isaac raised his joyful voice, Barletta called to wait for it.

"It's too dangerous! Empowering an unspecified number of people means publicizing the peculiar existence of Mr. Kazra!? Besides, what would you do if someone with the power to change their mind or between enemies was confused!?

"No, not if you're saying that. I need to use everything I can."

"You don't have to do that, you just need to use a more powerful new weapon! No matter who he is, you can never give him strength!

"I don't care who he is. Only those close to the Istell family, such as close guards and escorts. Such people betray..."

That's all I said, and Arond's face floated in the back of a good brain.

Yes, it is.

When you betray someone like him who is involved in the heart of the realm, you betray him.

Even he betrayed me by putting his great trust in me and powdering himself to work.

If I had empowered him, Nalson or myself might have been robbed of a souvenir of exile to Barbell.

I noticed Ichigo changed his complexion and Barletta darkened his expression.

"Mr. Kazra, that's all you can't do. Even if it empowers, we have to choose carefully."

……

"Mr. Isaac, Marie"

"Yes."

"Ha, ha!

Instead of a good one who shut up, Barletta turns to the two of us.

"I know you do, but never tell anyone about this"

"Of course it is. I won't tell anyone."

"I won't talk!

Two people snort firmly.

Baretta took a breath and turned her worried eyes to her best.
