Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

A few hours later, after the screening and lunch, Ichigo had arrived at a training ground located in a military facility in the city.

Several close guards have aligned the improved crossbow in their hands and are aiming at the armor secured to the pedestal about 50 metres away.

Behind it, the villagers in the village of Grisea were packing their hand cannons with gunpowder to prepare them for shooting.

In addition, there are cannon cannons, catapults, rata wearables, and portable civil tool rigos and drabras for soldiers.

"Ready... shoot!

Bolts were fired simultaneously from the crossbow along with the order of the Kingsguard Commander.

An iron bolt ejected at high speed pierces the armor with a dull sound.

A soldier beside him removed his armor and brought it under everyone.

"You're right, we'll pierce the armor at that distance. As you saw earlier, if you place soldiers in multiple stages, you can also shoot serially."

Nodding in the way the Elmias were impressed by Narson's explanation.

Diaz is also already calm, silently refraining next to Elmia.

"Uhm, you're stabbing me deeply. Can't even iron armor prevent it?"

Elmia grabs a bolt stuck in her armor.

I move it around, but the bolt that stabbed me deeply naturally doesn't fall out.

"Nalson, you said that in Istaire territory we already produce large quantities of crossbows, but there is no obstacle to the production of weapons in general?

"Yes, there is more production for other products as well, as production has been bottomed up by the introduction of a large number of machine tools such as forging machines and lumber mills. Those machine-tools will also be brought back with specimens and blueprints."

"Mr. Kazra."

As Ichiyoshi watched the Narsons interact, Barletta rushed over with a hand-throated bomb in her hand.

I was alone at the warehouse in the mansion, picking it up.

"Oh, thank you. Shall I use it to show you last?"

"Okay. Well, apart from that, Colts asked me to leave a message."

"Huh? Mr. Colts?

"Yes. He said someone wanted Mr. Kazra to meet him. A soldier named Woodbell."

"WOOD...... Oh, on behalf of Mr. Zirconia, was he the one who was teaching you swordsmanship"

Ichigo reminds me of what I talked to the Colts about the other day.

The Colts had been told by a black woman to "teach the swordsmanship to Zirconia," but since it wouldn't come true, they were being taught by friendly soldiers instead, he said.

That's when the Colts said, "Mr. Wood."

"Yes, the soldier said he wanted to say hello to Mr. Kazra once."

"Say hello to me? Why not?"

"That's what they're saying." It's rude not to say hello to Master Kazura when he teaches you the sword to protect Master Kazura. "

"Hmm... you're a lot of disciplined people. You don't have to worry about that."

"Yes. That's what I told you, too, Colts, but why are you saying that? Um, instead of Mr. Kazra, can I talk to you now?

"Mr. Barletta?

A good one, Barletta nods.

"Yes, thank you from me."

"No, then I'll come with you. That's it."

"No, because I'm fine. I'll be there in a minute."

Barletta did not wait for a good reply, and when she handed the hand-throated bomb to her well, she ran to the gate of the training ground.

"Kazra, what's wrong?

I noticed how well I was talking to Barletta, and Reese speaks up.

"Hmm? No, Colts, a soldier who teaches you swordsmanship says he wants to say hi to me. Mr. Barretta went to talk to me instead."

"Say hello... hey that guy, you're too common sense. You can't take that."

Reese flaunts her face.

"Oh, really?

"It's obvious. Think about it. It's like a friend of a samurai who works at a mansion says, 'I want you to meet Master Narson because he usually takes care of her,' and asks the samurai, right? You think I'm gonna go through with this?

"... Sure, you're impotent"

"Right? Because it's not the same as being greeted by the artisans there when you're going to the workshop to inspect them. I don't care who he is. You can't go see him easily."

"Ugh... oh, sorry"

"Oh, I'm not mad at you for anything!

It's getting sober. For the best, Reese panics.

"Well, even if you want to see him, you better see him properly. We have to follow the procedure properly."

"Yeah, right. From now on, I will."

While Yi Liang and I were talking about that, we were going to do a hand-cannon shooting this time.

Several villagers aim for the mountain of nuts imo, which is piled as a target.

A few seconds later, a loud shooting sound echoed the training ground.

As Barletta left the training ground gate, the Colts were waiting.

A soldier on the lookout closes the gate immediately.

"Sister Barletta, what did Master Kazura say?

"Mr. Kazra is busy at work, and I can't say hello for a second. Instead, I'll meet Mr. Woodbell."

Colts looks a little sorry for Barletta smiling at him.

"Um, I really want you to meet Master Kazura... Mr. Wood, I missed Master Kazura so much. I'm sure you'll be sorry."

"I'm sorry. But Mr. Kazra is very busy. Now, is it okay if I go say hello?

Barletta said, the Colts nodded reluctantly and so on.

"... yeah. Follow me."

Barletta is taken by the Colts to proceed inside the military compound.

At that time, the shooting noise of the hand cannon sounded from the training area.

Some of the off-duty soldiers who were nearby turned to you, but mostly chatting and drying their laundry without even showing how they cared.

Everyone seems to be getting used to it.

One way or another, my gaze was pointed at Barletta, a young woman who I don't usually see in this place.

"Speaking of which, Colts, do you come to this place often?

Barletta asks the Colts, who walk like they know they are.

"Yeah. Mom and Dad come here a lot to train."

"Oh, well. Everyone in the village is training here."

The remaining villagers of the village of Gricea in Isteria always take turns and hit a good guard.

Even so, the only time one goes around beside the good is when the good goes out.

I usually spend time mixing with the soldiers to train them and doing chores like cooking and helping them buy out.

"I wanted to train with everyone, but they wouldn't let me near them because they're in the way."

"Oh well... don't you teach your father swordsmanship?

"Dad, I suck at swords. I didn't have much shape, and I think I'm better at it."

"Oh, yeah."

"Sister Barletta, what was the battle of the fort like?

The Colts walk, looking up at Barletta.

"Hmm... the soldiers worked really hard and it was over in no time"

"Wasn't there anything that would put Master Kazura in danger?

"Yeah, I was fine. Everyone in the village was there to protect me, and I've always been there for you."

"Sister Barletta, did you fight the enemy, too?

Barletta smiles at the Colts, who say worryingly.

"Yeah. I didn't do anything. The soldiers did it all, so there was nothing dangerous about it."

"It was. Oh, I would have liked to go with you. I've been leaving messages ever since I came to Isteria."

"Leave a message. It's an important job, isn't it? There's someone waiting for me, so we can all work hard."

"But my sister tells me to stay beside Master Kazura. I haven't kept my promise to your sister at all."

Badly dissatisfied, Colts says.

Look at that, Valletta laughs bitterly.

"There's something I can and can't do, so I can't help it. Speaking of which, with that woman, have you seen her since?

"Yeah. I've never seen him before."

"Oh well. If I see you again, can you tell me? And I'd like to see you, too, if I could."

"Yeah, okay. I'll tell you when I see you."

That's how I walked for a while and came in front of one barracks.

Colts rush over to Woodbell sitting on the bench chatting with his fellow soldiers.

"Mr. Wood."

"Oh, are you back? How did it go... and what about your lady?

My eyes are turned to Woodbell, and Barletta puts her head down with a pepper.

"It's called Valletta. On behalf of Mr. Kazra, I'm here to say hello."

When Barletta named him, Woodbell looked a little surprised.

I get up right away and run over to Barletta.

"Shh, excuse me! You came all the way here! Uh, it's Kazura's side, isn't it?

To Woodbell's words, the soldiers who were with him stood up in a panic with a surprised look.

"Yes. Mr. Kazra can't get his hands off me for a second, so I'll take his place. You've always taught me swordsmanship, haven't you, Colts?

"Yeah. This guy's got a lot of prospects, and he's got his vertigo arm up!

Woodbell strokes around the Colts' head.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Wood! Don't do this!

"Hmm? What, I'm praising you"

"I'm glad to hear that, but my hair is messed up..."

"Oh, bad, bad. Ha."

Woodbell laughs, hands off the Colts' head.

There was also a laugh from the soldiers watching.

Barletta smiles at the way it looks.

Everyone seems very close.

If the Colts were with them, they would be able to live their days without feeling it.

"Thank you for always talking about you, Colts. I really wish I could have taught you swordsmanship."

"No, I was just free, too, and I just moved over here and wanted a friend. I'm the one who's got it figured out."

When Woodbell smiled refreshingly, he turned his attention to the long sword that was falling back on Barletta's hips.

"Um, this may be a rude question, but does Master Barletta use his sword, too?

"Yes, for once, because I'm escorting Mr. Kazra"

"Really? No, I can't believe such a beautiful person would use a sword...... uhm, just imagining it would be cool!

To Woodbell's words, the soldiers nod, "Sure."

Sometimes there are female soldiers, but after quite a few, soldiers as old as Valletta are very rare.

Barletta took it as a compliment and smiled.

"Thank you. Uh, so... if you don't mind, I'll keep teaching you swordsmanship..."

"Of course! Because I'll take care of it until it's properly served!

Barletta was relieved by Woodbell's prompt response.

The Colts seem to miss it, and Woodbell doesn't seem too bad to be a crowd.

There are a lot of other soldiers out there, and everyone will care about the Colts.

"Good. Thank you. I'd like to thank the captain of the unit for that."

"What, is that okay!? Hey, my instructor, he's coming very hard. Tell me Woodbell's doing great."

"Hehe, I get it. So it's time for me to go back."

"Yes! Thank you for taking the time!

Woodbell salutes with a fist on his chest.

"Thank you for letting me take the time. Bye."

Baretta smiled and replied, returning to the training ground.

"... hey, Colts!

Colts shoulder to shoulder as Woodbell looks at Barretta's back as she leaves.

"Hey, what?

"That guy is so cute! If you know someone that cute, let me know sooner!

"Oh, if you're Sister Barletta, you should give up. 'Cause it seems like I'm only interested in Master Kazura."

As Colts said, Woodbell tipped his little neck strangely.

"Not interested? Could it be Master Kazura's lover?

"Hmm... what do you think? I don't know, but we're both really close."

"... you know. I've heard about Kazura and Leese's fiancée. Do you know what the Colts are?

To Woodbell's question, the Colts look a little annoying.

"I don't know. But Master Leese is close to Master Kazura, too. Lady Reese and Sister Barletta are very close."

"Hmmm......"

"So you should give up on Sister Barletta. Because I can never do it."

"Wood, I'm sorry to hear that!

"Well, she's not the kind of woman you can reach from the beginning. I mean, you, you always knew he was close to Master Kazura."

Woodbell laughs bitterly at the soldiers flying in the wild.

"No, whatever you know, you said 'instead of Mr. Kazra' from that guy himself. He said it's normal to think of it as proximity."

"Oh, sure, if you ask me"

"Mr. Wood."

The Colts speak to Woodbell, who is talking to a soldier.

"Even today, do you teach me swordsmanship?

"Oh, of course! Look, I have a wooden sword right there, too. Get it."

"Yeah!"

Colts rush over to the wooden sword placed on the bench.

Woodbell took his gaze off him like that and turned his attention to Barletta, who was going away in the distance.
