"What!? Oh, is that true!?

Surprised Barletta grabs both Leese's arms.

"Ugh, yeah. I think it was around the end of last fall, but suddenly there was a month of increased ore production. So I asked your father what it was."

Reese had studied computers well before compiling income and expenditure reports and reports of variations in material reserves coming up from each of the officers in charge into spreadsheet software.

Ichigo, Narson and Zirconia use the data for their monthly revenue and expenditure reporting meetings.

Monthly income and expenditure were easily contrasted and summarized in a bar chart.

That's how when I was working on the materials, I noticed a sharp increase in the production of ores like copper, lead, tin and silver from that month.

"Then he said, 'I'm using a hand pump to store water in one place, collapse an abandoned mine, and re-mine it'. So I'm pretty sure."

"Oh, no... Oh, so do I. Speaking of...!

Listening to Reese, Baretta also recalled that she had previously heard such stories from the carpenters.

That is certainly the story of a day when the craftsmen were about to force me to take them out for a drink and Arond helped me.

'I heard rumors that a large quantity of copper and lead ore would reach the city,' the carpenters said in a chat they were having before the drinking story came out.

At that time, just after iron ore mining had begun, Barletta thought that the rumors heard by the craftsmen might be mistaking copper and lead for iron.

I never dreamed I was collapsing an abandoned mine, etc.

"Oh, but if it's a rash..."

"I'm going to Isteria!!

"What!? Hey, hey!!

Despite what Reese was about to say, Barletta ran away with great momentum.

Reese grabbed her arm there. Hands down, sighing at him.

With that momentum, I'm not going to catch up with you from now on.

"Why do you go all the way to Isteria... you can use the radio"

I'm heartened about the abandoned mine, but Reese wasn't thinking that seriously.

Because even if all the abandoned mines in Istel territory have been crushed, there are plenty of abandoned mines in other territories and in the Wang capital.

Of course, we have to be careful with information management when mining, but since we plan to show The Video of Hell to the royals and lords, there's no way a weird cross spear can get in when we start mining.

"I mean, I think Kazura would know about that... but I think I could have waited till I got back"

Now, what do I do, I look inside the cabin.

Nothing can be done because Barletta hasn't explained anything yet.

Or so, if you go back now, you'll be the wings that will definitely grab and chase the kids.

Bad for the Eira's, but I'd like to beg your pardon for that.

"Ugh, what do I do... oh, yeah"

When she came up with something, Reese left the cabin.

"Maybe we can get through this time. Give it a try."

Stand at the entrance to the grove, okay, and temper.

Then from among the trees, an unexpected figure appeared.

"What, Kazra?

"That's Reese. What's the matter, in here?"

A good one with a shovel and a cardboard box sees Reese with a decent face.

Say what's going on, but that's Liese's dialogue.

"I thought maybe I could get through, so I came back to try again."

"What's the challenge... what's wrong with Mr. Barletta? You were planning on building a bomb with me, weren't you?

"Uh..."

Reese explains the upside earlier.

Ichiyana turned out convinced that, oh,

"That's okay. I asked Mr. Barletta where the mine was and then immediately told Mr. Narson to stop crushing the abandoned mine. Some of it was after crushing it, but it should still be there."

"I knew you knew Kazura. So, you didn't tell Barletta?

"Yeah. Mr. Barletta wasn't involved in the re-mining thing, so I didn't even think I needed to say anything. Abandoned mines themselves, there were still a lot of them."

"Oh well. The only thing Barletta's involved in is iron ore mining... oh, I said something extra"

"Right. You've done something wrong to Mr. Barletta..."

Oh, and the two of us sigh.

Barletta must change her blood phase and clog up on Narson.

If he's reasonable, he'll realize that gunpowder material is in the abandoned mine.

So I don't see how he's going to do this, but it's going to be awkward somehow.

"At this point, I don't think Mr. Narson can find out anymore, but should I stop it for once? Contact Isteria wirelessly. I need someone to stop Mr. Barletta."

"Yeah. I'll get the radio."

"Whoa, please"

Unload the cardboard box that Ichiyoshi holds to the ground.

"Speaking of which, what?

"Probably my ancestors"

"What!?

"Well, I'll talk to you later. Can you get me a radio for now?

"Ugh, yeah."

Leaving Ichigo on the spot, Reese headed to Balin Mansion.

When Reese came back with the radio and a portable antenna, Ichigo was digging the ground with a shovel.

"I'm home."

"Welcome back. All right, why don't we do that first"

"... hey, maybe what's in that box, human bones?

Reese listens, handing over the antenna and the radio.

"Yeah. I made a grave in the woods and I buried it, and they said no."

"Who told you that?

"Uribou's sister, who helped us the other day. The night before you left the fort, you came back to send out the soldiers' souls. That's when they taught me."

"Sister? You mean Master Ormachiol?

"No, that's what he said, not ormaciol."

"What, what do you mean?

"I'm not sure either. You just said," That's what they might call it in the future. "

Ichigo sticks the shovel to the ground at his feet and wipes sweat with his sleeves.

Reese doesn't really know what that means, he's a puzzled face.

"So, that sister was saying. The same smelling soul that I've been wandering in the woods for almost 300 years."

"Three hundred years... could it be that Master Gracior, who appears in the legend, is the ancestor of Kazura?

"Maybe."

The two of us drop our eyes on a cardboard box.

A white skull was peeking through a gap in the half-opened lid.

"There's a stone aisle that leads to Japan at the end of this jungle. In the middle of the aisle, there was a white bone body dressed in a mutilated shoulder. Legend has it that he fled with the sword of the lord, but I guess it was inevitable."

……

Reese clogged the words.

If a good guess is correct, it is a man in the same position as himself who killed a good ancestor.

I don't know if there was a blood connection between the then lord and the Istell family, but it seemed like he was in a position to be resented by this remains figure.

"So your sister couldn't even get her hands on you because you were in the back of the jungle. After all, can you get through there... Reese?

I notice Reese with a dark face, and Ichigo stops his hand.

"... yeah, it's nothing. I'll do the burial, so Kazura can go to Japan. If you don't go fast, you're gonna be late to come home, aren't you?

"That's right... okay? You think this is gonna be tough?

"Yeah, but it's okay. 'Cause I'm gonna make sure you do."

"Well, let me ask you a favor"

"Yeah. Is there anything I should be aware of? Should I bury it normally?

"I'd be in trouble if the animals dug me up, so dig a little deeper and bury me. We'll make tomb marks later."

"Yeah."

Yiliang connected the antenna to the radio and pointed it in the direction of Isteria.

Turn it on and press the submit button.

"This is the village of Grisea. Isteria, can you hear me? Go ahead."

Wait a dozen seconds, but no response, silence flows.

On the rooftop of the Narson Mansion, a villager from the village of Grisea is supposed to be taking the turn of a radio.

When Yiliang tried to press the transmit button again, a voice sounded heard from the radio.

"This is Isteria! I hear it a lot. Go ahead! '

"... it's Mr. Zirconia, isn't it?

"Ugh, yeah."

For some reason, the two look at each other in the voice of the zirconia that resonated.

What the hell are you doing on the roof?

"Mr. Zirconia, why are you doing a radio number? Go ahead."

"Uh... I'm tired of continuing the meeting. I've been running to the roof. I was messing with the radio because I was free, and suddenly I heard a voice, and I fell in surprise. Go ahead. '

"Yeah... what are you doing? It won't be a good idea if you get out. Go ahead."

'No, I'm done with one thing I have to leave, so I'm fine. But Nalson tells me to get out of the other meetings, and that kind of meetings are painful to death.'

I have often thought of Ichigo lately, but I think Zirconia has become more childish than before, or I feel like I have a tea eye.

It seems like it's only for me and myself, but would I panic if I found out there was Reese on this occasion?

He seemed somewhat pathetic, so I decided to keep quiet.

'And I can't help but be bored without Mr. Kazra. Please come back here soon. Go ahead.'

"No, you can say that... hey, that's okay, I need to ask you one thing. Mr. Barletta's on his way over there right now, can you stop him before he runs into Mr. Narson's? Go ahead."

"Huh? Run? Why not? '

"Um... sorry, I thought you could ask me why. Anyway, grab him and send him back here. Go ahead."

'Okay. You can thank me for something delicious. Go ahead.'

"... your mother is a real eater, isn't she?"

As Zirconia put it, Reese laughs bitterly.

"Well, eating is stressful, isn't it? Mr. Zirconia's position seems stressful."

"Mr. Kazra? What's the matter, sir? Go ahead. '

"Oh, excuse me. Then the next time you come to the village, you'll do the dishes you bought in Japanese shops. Go ahead."

'Yes! So... so maybe dinner over there tonight was something I bought in Japan? Go ahead.'

"Huh? Yes, I do. Go ahead."

'I'm going that way now, too. Barletta will pick it up on the way, won't she? End of Communication'

"What!? Mr. Zirconia, isn't it a good idea to leave Isteria? Go ahead."

I'll wait for a response from Zirconia, but I won't even say yes.

Apparently, we're already on our way.

Oh, boy. Turn off the radio and hand it to Reese.

"Well, okay. Well, then, I'm gonna go buy it out. Graves, please."

"Yeah, okay. Be careful. Go ahead."

"Ooh, thanks. I'm coming."

Waving off a good thing to leave, Reese dropped her eyes on the remains.
