"Good luck, Mr. Narson. That was a famous speech!

"Good luck, Father"

Once back in the office, Nalson is greeted with words from Ichigo and Leese.

Narson sat down somewhat on the couch, sighing like a heartfelt tired.

"Oh man, I wondered what would happen for a while, but now you're just going to march on"

He hasn't slept well in the past few days, and fatigue remains intense on his face.

Narson, like Reese and Eira, is strengthening his physical abilities by feeding him Japanese food.

I was also giving essential oils and herbal teas, but they didn't seem to be very effective because of the excessive mental load.

"Father, it's a tiresome herbal tea"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Thanks."

Narson smiles and receives the tea Leese serves.

Eira removed the chilled towel from the ice fridge and wiped Nalson's sweat.

Marie has a radio turn on the roof, and she's not here.

"Speaking of which, during your speech earlier, you said you and Mr. Zirconia would take back the fort, or something, and you would ask Mr. Zirconia to take command?

"No, you're injuring your shoulders and your legs, you just won't be able to. To reassure the soldiers, I was wondering if it would be to the point of showing their faces. I'll escort you to the Corps."

"Really...... But you can't make me do much. It could have broken legs or cracks in it."

"That's true, but I need you to bear it there. There's a difference between having her and not having her, because there's a cloud mud in morale."

"So much, is it something different when Mr. Zirconia is around?

For the best of surprises, Narson nods.

"Yes, unlike a general commander, she is in a position of general, yet shoulder to shoulder with the soldiers as a heavily armed infantry, at the forefront of the troops. Since the commander in chief of the legion fights for his own life, the soldiers also fight in madness to death without pulling a step. There's not a single other commander like her in Arcadia."

"Is that the front line, Commander? I can't seem to command..."

"Yes, the soldiers' will go up to each step, but not in command or anything else. In fact, it is Deputy McGregor who takes command of the Legion. She's got a little bit of a say in the planning of the operation."

"I see, there's a division of roles. But if you suck at that, Mr. Zirconia will die..."

"Yeah. So I told you many times to stop, 'It doesn't make sense if you do it with these hands,' and you don't have ears to listen to at all."

"Were you..."

"Father, may I ask you one thing?"

Reese, who was listening in silence, pinned her mouth to the conversation between the two.

"What?"

"In my earlier speech..."

When Reese was about to say, Concon, and the door were knocked.

When Narson replied, one guard came in.

"Dear Nalson, a transmission has arrived from the territory of milling."

"From milling territory? What can I do for you?

"Three squadrons of heavily armed infantry and 400 cavalry of regular soldiers will arrive in Isteria in five days. They also arrive with large quantities of food at the same time, so they want you to use it as you like."

"... the one from Haychelles, I didn't expect to send nearly half the standing guards. And so soon."

Narson roared as he stroked his forehead.

About half a month ago, at a meeting by the envoys of each territory in the Wang capital, the Fleis territory had declared to Istaire territory that it would 'send a standing army in a hurry'.

I executed that brilliantly, but this would considerably reduce the strength that milling territory would break into border guards.

The territory of Fryce borders Kreilatz, as does the territory of Istael.

It would be tough in the unlikely event that Clayrats betrayed him and attacked milling territory.

"Lord Kazura, I will meet with the decree."

"Okay."

"And did you think about your company?

"It's okay. I'll follow you."

Prior to the speech, Ichigo had been asked by Narson to 'accompany me to the legion at all costs'.

I didn't think it would be particularly surprising because I thought it would be good to be accompanied.

Of Reese, Barletta, and the people of the village of Grisea, I suppose they tell me to be spiritual supporters.

Given Narson's character, maybe there's more to it than that.

But I think that's okay.

I'm not going to say a word then.

Incidentally, Liese is supposed to be the second Legion Leader on an ad hoc basis instead of Zirconia.

Since it is McGregor, the deputy director, who actually commands, she is the only Legion leader in form.

Keeping away is Ixios in therapy.

"Thank you. Ella, do you have the gear?

"Yes, we have a set of things for the commander and a dagger with the Istell family crest"

"Is that armor?"

Leaking a slightly more anticipated voice, Reese laughed softly.

"Heh heh, sounds kind of happy. I knew Kazura was a boy."

"Ugh... I may be careless at a time like this, but oh you have an admiration for that. I've never worn it before."

"Oh well. Then I'll help you put it on. Eira, please put our armor in the work room."

"Yes, sir."

Considering the conversation has come together, Narson takes a seat.

"Well, I'll come and see you after the interview, so please wait"

"Okay. See you later."

"Well, that's how you make your hair."

Once back in the working room, Ichiya looked at Reese as she was tied to her hair by a samurai in front of a mirror.

The samurai is a really brilliant handkerchief and quickly makes a dough head.

I'm just wearing my armor while Ichigo is being helped by another samurai.

"Do you want to try Kazura next time? Can I borrow your head?

"No, no, I can't do that. I'm not that clever."

"Uh, that's good. When you have kids in the future, it'll help, won't it?

"How far ahead are we talking? I can't imagine myself being a parent."

"He said he could be right away. They're here."

Over the mirror, Reese sends a good flush.

The samurai continue to work silently, smiling bitterly at the conversation between the two.

"Oh, my God, in front of the ladies. I mean, Leese just turned 15. You're not old enough to say you're a kid."

"Huh? Early kids are caged at 14 and have babies at 15, and it's nothing strange, is it?

"... Huh? You're gonna get pregnant at 14?

"Yeah, I don't really see it in the aristocracy, but I don't think it's that uncommon for the people in the city."

"Seriously... this way, is that normal..."

I just finished tying my hair up and wearing it under my armor, and Ella came in with a cart pressed with armor on it.

"Excuse me. We have your armor."

"Ooh..."

Ichigo accidentally leaks his voice into the appearance of silver shining armor.

Seeing that, Reese chuckled.

"Well, let's start with the kazula."

"Oh, please"

Ichirya stares at herself in the mirror as she is armored for four.

I put on my hipster and put on my torso armor.

It looks pretty heavy but not as heavy as I thought I'd try it on.

Seemed pretty much alike.

"You dress him up for a horse, too. While I'm at it, I think it looks pretty good."

"What's that, a proverb? What do you mean?"

"It means if you wear a fine costume, you look fine to any human being. It's a good proverb for me to look poor."

"You don't mean poor. I think you're feeling reasonably well, instead of doing all the clerical work? Hey, Eira too...... what's up?

Realizing that she has the look that Eira came up with, Reese turns a strange face.

"Oh, yes, no"

"... are you crying?

To that word, everyone's gaze turns to Eira.

As soon as that happened, there were tears in Ayla's eyes.

"Eh! I don't know what to say!

Reese looked a little dull, but immediately took the handkerchief out of her pocket and gave it to her.

"You guys, back off now."

We exit the two maids, and Reese turns to Eira.

"What's going on? Anything wrong?

……

"If it's about the fight, don't worry about it. Even Kazura cooperated, and you can never lose. 'Cause I'm sure it'll work."

Eira says nothing, shaking her shoulders and sobbing.

To that appearance, Leese frowned like she was in trouble.

It's just never happened before, like Ella wept in front of Reese.

If you mean her, who's always with you, Reese was going to know anything.

But now I have no idea what she thinks or why she's crying.

"Mr. Eira......"

Seeing how it was, Ichigo called out to Eira.

Bitter, Eira's shoulder moved slightly.

Reese glances up at Ichigo and drops her gaze to her feet.

"... I'm going to the next room."

"Huh? Oh, hey, Reese!

Reese just left the room, and the room was left with a good and eira.

Eira is shuddering her shoulders as she sobs.

"Uh... Mr. Eira, what's going on? Why are you crying?

"... eh"

Cutting the voice off, Eira crouched on the spot, squeaking and crying out.

Ichigo didn't know what to do, and he knelt down on the spot and put his hand on her back.

"Mr. Eira, could I be the cause..."

"I'm sorry! I, Lord Kazura, what a...!

Eyla turned her tearful, sniveling face to one good.

"Just me, do what you say about being selfish! Everyone, desperate, with their lives...! And yet, I am...!

With that word, I finally figured out what she was talking about.

About a month ago, she said she asked me to turn my hand to keep her relatives out of the army.

I guess I've seen the good armor I'm going to go out with the Legion and I'm full of guilt.

"Mr. Eira, it's okay."

Ichigo stares straight at her as she stares with wet eyes with tears.

"It's natural that you don't want to put your family in danger. If I were in Mr. Eira's shoes, I'm sure I would have done the same. Anyone must have done that."

"Ugh... Ugh..."

Eira nodded, raising her voice and crying out.

Ichiyoshi attracted her and hugged her.

Fluffy, soft lavender aroma felt from her hair.

"That's okay. There's nothing wrong with Mr. Eira. You don't have to cry like that."

"Higu... Kazura... Sama... eh"

Eyla continues to cry as she clamps against Kazura's chest.

Speaking of which, something similar had happened before, and Yiliang was reminded of Baretta, Eira, who regained her composure, looked up.

"... I knew it."

"What is it?

When Ichigo inquired, Eira held a strong hand that was accompanied by Ichigo's armor.

"Oh and say, Master Kazura would say the words you said earlier...... sorry"

"... well. I'm glad I got the right answer. If I had the wrong answer, what would have happened by now?"

I joke and say, well, Eira laughs small.

"Dear Kazura,"

"Yes, what is it?

"Even after it's all over...... would you like to come to the tea party?

"Tea party? Yeah, sure. As always, I'll be there every night. If I don't have tea with Ayla, I don't think the day is over."

"... Yes. Me too."

To Eira, who answers that, Ichigo stood up when she smiled relieved.

Take the hand offered, and Eira rises too.

"Then shall we go to Liese? I'm sure you're tired of waiting."

"... Yes"

Eira stared at the good back going to the door.
