Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

After lunch that day.

There was a look at Ayla and Marie in the cooking area of the Narson Mansion.

The cooking table in front of you is filled with a pile of colorful chocolates on a plate.

Next to it was also placed a small plate of driftwood worm smoked prepared as a sample.

Smoked has a burnt brown, wrinkly appearance and is quite impactful.

"I don't know what to do..."

"What shall we do…"

After lunch, Ichigo handed them a cardboard box full of chocolate and asked them to "process this and make something that looks just like the smoked driftwood bug."

As for the treatment of chocolate, Ayla knew it because she had read a recipe book for sweets as good during a late-night tea party.

I've eaten it several times and I know how it tastes and textures.

Yi Liang is not currently in the Mansion and meets with the craftsmen in the military section for the manufacture of new weapons.

What brings me back here is that it will be before dinner.

"Marie, have you ever made a potato dish?

"Yes. When I worked at the Louson Mansion, I used to make it. Because I liked Alondo."

"It is. You've also dealt with driftwood bugs?

"Yes. I've also made smoke. And sometimes I let you live."

"Yes, I said stay alive... ugh"

You've imagined eating, Eira holding her mouth and leaking a disgusting voice.

Eira is so bad at bugs that she honestly doesn't even want to touch them cooked.

Marie has been dealing with it at work since she was a young girl, so there is no resistance even to what is alive.

Anything from the dismantling of small animals like birds and mice to the twisting of fish.

"I don't like bugs..."

"Oh really... well, then I'll do it alone"

"... yeah. It's okay, I'll do my best. Master Kazura left it to me."

Mmm, and Eira made a grip with both hands to get her temper in.

We are both asked what the purpose of the work is and we also understand the importance of things.

Not if you're complaining about not being good or anything.

"Really? So let's cut the sample first"

Marie takes one driftwood bug smoke and puts it on a slab to serve with a knife.

The cross section of driftwood worms halved with the tongue looks like gray charcoal.

Until then the slightly drifting muddy smell became a little stronger.

"... this has to be the same as the look but also the touch, right?

"'To feel as similar as possible,' Kazra said, so doesn't it have to be exactly the same?

"Mm-hmm. I don't know if I can handle it... I haven't been told anything about the smell, but what should I do?"

"That's right...... but the purpose is to give it to Master Zirconia so that the people in Barbell can't say it's chocolate, so I guess I don't have to bother putting this smell on the chocolate"

"Oh, that too. If it stinks like this, it'll overwrite the smell of chocolate too."

Eira pinches one chocolate and smells it.

It smells sweet if you hold it nearby, but it won't work to this extent.

"Well, the problem is the appearance and the contents."

"Yes, what's in it, but why not mix it with chocolate crushed and melted with scorched cookies"

"Yeah, I thought so, too. The surface needs to be a little burnt brown, so why don't you apply a little white chocolate mix to the black chocolate?"

"The problem is the head part...... how do I describe the texture"

"Why don't you lightly apply brown chocolate to the fried mamma?

"Oh, that might be good! And I need to get a mould to shape the potato worm."

Exchange words with cuteness, and produce the essence to make potato bug chocolate.

Float a bowl of copper over a bowl of wood poured with hot water, add the chocolate and slowly dissolve.

"More than 150 by the morning after tomorrow... will we make it"

Marie snaps as she stares at the melting chocolate.

Zirconia wanted me to eat ten capsules a day, and I was told to make as many as possible.

At the same time you'll be eating real driftwood bugs, so you should be eating a fair amount of potato-type foods every day.

"Right...... but we have to do something about it"

Barletta and Ichigo are scheduled to leave for the village of Grisea as soon as the instructions to the craftsmen have been completed.

The aim, of course, is to collect the weapons in the village and request the villagers to cooperate, as well as to procure tools and supplies in Japan.

Eira and Marie are chocolate making priorities, so they are not supposed to accompany them.

"If there's anything I have to ask Master Kazura, I need to do it by the end of the day. You said it would be later than usual this time."

……

"Mr. Eira?

Marie turned to Eira, who would not respond.

Eira seems to be thinking of something, staring at the bowl of chocolate.

"Right. By the end of the day...... I need to tell you"

"Yes, sir"

Marie looks surprised at Eira, who answers as she can think of.

"Mr. Eira, you know, what..."

"I'm sorry. I'm going to Lady Kazura's."

Blocking Marie's words. That's what Eira said, she left the cooking area once and for all.

Afternoon in a few days.

Ichigo, along with Barletta, was returning to the village of Grisea.

A large number of carriages are also with them because they are supposed to bring out all the weapons in the village.

The villagers all seem to be gathering, staring at this one farther from the village entrance.

"Welcome, Master Kazura,"

Silvestria in greeted armor bows her head in a good way as she disembarks the carriage.

No heart or hard expression.

"Thank you. Is there any difference in the village?

To a good question, Sylvestria nods.

"It hasn't been particularly different since. Dear Kazra, I hear Barbell has broken the truce and invaded."

"... Yep. Forts along the border have been ambushed and plunged."

When Ichigo answered, Sylvestria put her right hand on her own chest.

"We have also heard that an emergency convocation of conscripts and reservists has begun. Let me return to the cavalry, too."

"To the cavalry..."

"Yes. As a Slan family person, you can't be trying to be alone here. Let me do my job as a knight."

To the words, Ichigo smiled a little.

"... you don't admire that saying. Village security is also an important task."

"Ah! But I'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that!

"I know it's not true for you, but this village is for Arcadia..."

"Dear Sylvestria, would you like to stay on guard here for some time now?

Barletta pinched her mouth from side to side where Ichigo spoke in a rare and tough tone.

"I will ask Master Narson from me so that we can have someone to replace him. I may not be able to do that right away, but I'm going to ask you to return to the cavalry as soon as possible."

……

Silvestria nagging in silence.

When I saw it, I realized that I was frustrated, and I took a deep breath.

I just couldn't seem to afford it, just because the situation was a situation.

I'm worried about all the things that will happen ahead, and I guess it's also big that I haven't slept very well lately.

"... Mr. Barretta, I'm going over there first. Later, please."

"Okay. When are you going to be able to go back?

"Hmm, I'm gonna go around a little bit... wonder if I can come back tonight"

"Really...... do you want to go talk to everyone in the village after you come back?

"Oh well. I knew I'd go that way first..."

"Dear Graciol!

As the two spoke, Sylvestria pounded one knee and drooped her head for good.

"We are well aware of what you are saying about the offering! But I..."

"Hey, hey, Mr. Sylvestria!

It was called Graciole aloud, and Ichigo hastily blocked Sylvestria's words.

The entourage, who was watching the three of them a little further away, has a slight face.

"In the meantime, let's go into the village and talk. Look, stand up!

Take the raised Sylvestria to the village on a fast foot.

Through the midst of the villagers looking anxious, the three crept through the village gates.

Walking a long way from the villagers, Ichigo stopped and sighed.

"Mr. Sylvestria, could you possibly know it all?

"Yes..."

Seeing Silvestria snort, Ichigo turned his attention to Barletta.

"Oh, no, I'm nothing..."

"Also, I'm sorry. I forced it, I heard it from Isaac..."

Awkwardly so, Sylvestria says with her eyes on the ground.

"When did that happen?

"On the day the assignment to the village defense team is decided..."

"... Really?"

One good leaks a tired voice.

I never dreamed Isaac would do that.

"Oh, you know, Mr. Kazra. Isaac told me because it must be Sylvestria, not to anyone..."

Seeing that, Barletta hastily put in a follow up.

For Barletta, Isaac and Sylvestria are trustworthy people.

It's a problem that she was leaking the good things to Sylvestria on her own, but she also knows she's not the kind of person to say it to people.

Isaac, too, must have revealed it because it was her.

The problem is that I didn't report it well.

"Yeah, I know. It's okay."

"Yes..."

Barletta still has her worried eyes in one place.

Ichigo didn't mind that and turned to Sylvestria.

"Mr. Silvestria, returning to the cavalry means joining the battle against Barbell, right?

"Of course I understand. That's why I want to go back to the cavalry."

"Are you sure? At least if we stay here..."

"Lady Gracior, I'm a Slan."

Sylvestria puts her hand on her chest, as she did earlier, and gives her sudden look a good one.

"I am a sword for the Istell family, and for the inhabitants. My life is for that."

Sylvestria folded her hips to 90 degrees and lowered her head.

"Please, put me in the cavalry!

I beg him to scream, and he doesn't even move as he does.

Ichiyoshi sighed small at the look of it.

"... ok"

Speak like Ichigo squeezes out.

Then Sylvestria looked up.

The expression is full of joy.

"Oh, thank you! Okay, even soon!

"No, as Mr Barletta said earlier, not immediately. We'll send a replacement within a few months, so please stay here until then."

"Su, a few months......?

Turning away from joy, Sylvestria will look like she's about to cry.

I smiled bitterly at her like that.

"Don't look like that. It'll take a while, but I'll keep my word."

"Yes......"

Sylvestria snorted for a few seconds, but quickly regained her expression and turned to her best.

Align your heels, fist your chest and salute.

"In the meantime, then, we will focus on village security!

"Please. In the meantime, would you excuse the people outside the village well? Everyone was surprised."

"Yes, I did! I will be deluded!

She replied cheerfully with a tense voice and ran back outside the village.

"Mr. Kazra..."

Barletta gently touched the good arm that dropped it off.

Ichigo remains staring at Sylvestria's back as he leaves.

"... Now if she dies, it's my fault"

"Oh, no... no..."

Baretta says so, but the words are powerless.

Earlier Barletta also made a statement that would bolster Sylvestria's offer, because she hadn't thought about it that far.

I regretted my shallowness when I ended up letting him make a good choice.

"Before you left Isteria, Mr. Eira came to see me."

"Huh? Oh, yes. There you are."

It was a few days ago when I was having a weapons production meeting with the craftsmen in Isteria's military section.

Eira, who let him out of breath, said he needed to talk to him, and he took him out.

YiLiang came back in a few minutes of things, but YiLiang didn't say anything about what he had been talking to Eira about.

As for Barletta, I was pretty curious, but I kept that clear without imitating what I heard.

I promised not to hide it, but I wasn't willing to push things like reporting everything to each other.

"That's when Ayla asked me to."

"Please, is it? Of what?

"Mr. Eira, they have two younger brothers, going to Wang Du's school. So now that conscription has begun in the city, everyone is supposed to come back to Isteria."

I can't see the story, and Barletta tips her neck.

Eira has four siblings and two younger brothers attend school while living in rental housing in Wang Du at Eira's service.

I also have two sisters, my second daughter is a hairdresser and my youngest sister is a cook. I had heard of Baretta before.

"He asked me to turn my hands around to keep those younger brothers and Ayla's family and relatives out of the army. He wants us to put him on a relatively safe mission, like an Isterian defense team."

Baretta lost her word.

In this situation, I even remembered the feeling that the back of my eye would get hot with anger such as how well I could have asked for that.

But it's also a matter of seconds, and if I were in the same position as her, I would immediately calm down.

I'm sure he must have done the same thing.

Anyone, losing a loved one is horrible.

If you have the means to avoid it, it would be natural to use it.

Who can do this, such as blaming her?

"It's a weird story, isn't it? I can't believe we can even dictate people's lives and deaths just because we're in different positions. Then it's like sorting your life."

Like some other HR, Ichigo talks.

Barletta grabbed his hand like that.

"I'm with you."

Ichigo turns to Barletta.

Baretta looked up and smiled.

"Whether it's hard or sad, I'm with you. Whatever happens, I'm on Mr. Kazra's side."

"... yeah"

Yiliang nodded and turned again to the entrance to the village.
