Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

After noon the next day.

At Isteria's training ground was the figure of Carnelian, the military commander of Clayrats.

As his companion, the secretary of the young man is with him.

Elmia, Lugro, Narson and Zirconia also sit on the bench alongside the Carnelians.

Dozens of soldiers had lined up at the training ground and had been trained by the shooting commander.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the recapture of the border fort"

Carnelian makes a meeting with Elmia.

Normally, I would be put through to the conference room, but Elmia had told me today that she wanted to "show me something" and had been brought to the training ground.

The secretary I'm accompanying looks a little confused.

"I doubted my ear when I heard it... but in just one day, you said two legions of Barbell troops had attacked down the caged fort? What the hell kind of hand did you use?

"It's a positive attack. From the front, I beat him with dignity. Hey, Narson."

As Elmia turns her eyes to the soldiers, she says aloud.

In front of the soldiers, one cannon gun was available.

"Yes, we used only the troops of our territory to crush our enemies in a siege battle directly from the front"

"Right in front of you, that's only for the Istel Army, right? Was the Barbell army that vulnerable?

"No, he was a strongman with a combination of seriousness and war will. But our realm developed a new weapon that overwhelmed our enemies."

Narson says things like confident.

"Hmm. I hear that one new tool after another is invented in Istell territory than before... is that it?

Carnelian turns his attention to the cannon cannon.

"Exactly. I'll show you now, so I was hoping you'd wait a little longer."

"I'm looking forward to that. Now, let's get this over with while we're getting ready."

Carnelian returns her gaze to the soldiers.

"Your Majesty. As I'm sure you already know, my country had been advised to surrender from Barbell"

"Mm-hmm. So does the Kingdom of Protia and the Kingdom of El Tire"

To Elmia's words, Carnelian nodded with a serious look.

"Yes, you're right. It was about destroying the Alliance of Four, giving in to Barbell and joining the umbrella. This story came about a year and a half ago."

"But your country stuck with it… rather than asking the people for their faith, did you decide to maintain the alliance"

"Yeah. More importantly, our people respect freedom above all else. It's impossible to abandon it and choose the path of obedience."

"I was relieved to hear that. But Protia and Ertile seem to have some suspicious moves."

Carnelian snorts at Elmia's words.

"Yes. They still seem to be dying to decide how to shake themselves. Perhaps you intend to decide on opportunism for a while"

"Wow. Why would you think that?

"It's one of your fortifications. Barbell unilaterally rebelled the truce agreement and ambushed the fort to occupy it. If there was a gap, it proved to be someone who would attack without even keeping their promises to each other, so you can't trust them very much."

"Right. Those savages don't seem to think anything of breaking a pact or anything. Even if you join hands with a country like that, it's up to you to let your military force say something and attack you."

"Yes, but Barbell is a tremendous power. Both Protia and Ertile painstakingly prevented the invasion in the last battle, but have yet to recover from the painful hands of the day. Now there is the idea that it is better to surrender on condition of preserving the rights of royalty and nobility than to be completely ravaged by bad teeth."

"I'm not going to be on the winless side."

"I'm pretty sure that's what you're thinking."

Carnelian takes a glimpse of Narson.

"The Barbell army seems strongly obsessed with defeating your country. The troops are also on their way to my Clayrats, but not large enough to attack directly into the country. As you can see from the Legion's movements, I'm pretty sure the land of the showdown is the border between your country and Barbell."

"Mm-hmm. Between my country, Arcadia, and Barbell, there is an indelible resentment. With the enemy, it's the same. They burned their villages to pieces."

In the battle 11 years ago, the Arcadia army carried out the burning of a considerable number of villages for the purpose of destroying supply plots near the border after defeating Balbert in combat.

For this reason, the Barbell people's hatred of Arcadia is quite strong.

However, Arcadia's hatred of them is more than that.

Before the war began, Barbell repeated several times the massacre of villages near the border by soldiers dressed as bandits for the purpose of getting their hands on them from the Arcadia side.

The Arcadians, especially the Isthère people, have a gruesome distrust and hatred of Barbell.

This is why Arcadia had no countermanipulation from the Alliance.

"It would be a very rude question, did we not come to your country to talk about disobedience from Barbell?

"Oh, there's no such story at all"

Elmia answers promptly without even giving her a bite about Diaz the other day.

"Was I? My country had become suspicious, wondering if Arcadia, like any other country, was well within reach of counter-insurgency efforts. Earlier, I apologize for the disrespectful imitation of Master Zirconia."

Carnelian tells me and Zirconia nods "Oh".

A year ago, when I had a meeting with Carnelian, I was approached in a way that allowed me to explore.

I was wondering what the hell you were suspicious of, but that question finally resolved.

"That's what happened. Rest assured, there can be no such thing as us joining hands with Barbell."

Smile at Zirconia, who smiles bitterly, the way Carnelian relieves herself.

"I was relieved to hear that. First, you need to defeat Barbell in the next battle or have him attack you for a long time in order to bring Protia and Ertile back to the Alliance."

"Mm-hmm. Don't worry. In the next battle, we're going to beat them completely."

Elmia says with a confident look.

"Oh, here we go. Try not to lose your hips."

Cannon cannons are ready, and the shooting commander turned this way and raised his hand.

Elmia raises her hand and returns it.

When the shooting commander gave the order, a soldier with a lit stick of fire stuck it in the hole in the tail of a cannon cannon.

At the next moment, a shell was ejected along with the exploding sound of a dong, crushing a pile of bricks that had been piled up about 100 meters earlier.

Carnelian and his secretary stare at a pile of bricks splattered with a flashing face.

"Here's the thing. This is called a cannon gun. With this, you can easily crush them in any castle fort."

Carnelian nods slowly at Elmia, who says in such a way that she can afford it.

"... I see. This is awkward."

"Cannon cannons are siege weapons, but there's another weapon for interpersonal use. Well, take your time."

"Thank you. This is going to be a good souvenir story."

Elmia nodded contentedly at Carnelian staring at the cannon cannon as she ate in.

Around that time, Ichiyoshi and Barletta were stopping by the assembly workshop where they manufactured the crossbow.

Barletta asked me to come and see the production of the crossbow as it was completely on track.

By the way, Reese is lecturing at the Mansion.

I am desperate and digesting a lecture that I have been away for a long time and have accumulated, half crying.

"... Mr. Barletta, you've often thought about this"

Dozens of craftsmen line up in a row, scraping wood with iron fleas and hammers.

What we're building is the gunbed part of the crossbow.

When the parts are finished, the craftsmen leave it on the belt conveyor behind them.

On a cloth belt conveyor powered by a water wheel, the finished crossbow parts are carried one after the other.

"Anyway, I wasted a lot of time, so when I figured out a way to produce it a little more efficiently, this was the best I could do. I just imitated what was in the book."

The parts transported to the conveyor fall flabby on the crate placed at the end point, but the place where the crate was located had a gentle slope.

The crate has a wheel, and when it weighs a certain amount of weight, it's a mechanism by which the wheel passes through the stop and automatically rolls under the craftsman ahead of it.

The amount of content per box is almost constant even if you don't bother to count it because the crate overtakes the stop at a certain weight.

The crate is heavily numbered and you can quickly tell from a distance how many boxes it is currently.

It was easy for the craftsmen to grasp the pace of their work because they could see at a glance how much they were making right now.

Incidentally, there are a number of empty boxes placed in a row behind the crate placed at the end of the conveyor, so that they are automatically replaced with full boxes.

"No, no, no, no matter how it works, wasn't it pretty hard to make things this far?

"Right. I have reviewed the layout in the workshop completely so...... But the water truck diverted something that had been treated as defective due to uneven rotation speed, so we were able to handle the inventory and the warehouse was neat."

"Oh, could you even handle the defective inventory? I had no idea we were going to see mass production lines in this world."

The craftsmen are comfortably working in a chat with each other.

Basically, private language and restroom breaks look free.

Nevertheless, the conveyor will be loaded with one finished part after another.

"Something's going on, I'm getting some parts done with great momentum, but is it okay with accuracy or something?

"It's okay. Because the parts made are supposed to be color-coded by the manufacturer, attention is paid to the person if defective products are found in the inspection. That's the inspection department."

At the tip Barletta pointed out, several women were checking the dimensions of the parts with their statutes and mould frames in their hands.

The defective product is the mechanism that begins there.

"I see. If you find a defect along the way, it won't sound later."

"Yes, and I try to multiply their paychecks according to production, so even the craftsmen keep an eye out for me not to skip it"

"You're thorough...... but that doesn't make them and the craftsmen unfriendly?

"That's okay. Because they're all artisan wives or mothers."

"Well, you can't skip that... I didn't know you even thought about assigning people to place"

The production of crossbows seemed to be a mechanism for completing them all in the workshop, with several soldiers on the edge testing the finished crossbows.

Nearly 200 people are working in the same place throughout the journey, and the daily production is likely to be weak.

Efficiency is the difference between gathering craftsmen and having them work individually.

"That's Mr. Barletta! I didn't think you'd make it this far. Really, you can count on it!

"Uh heh, thank you. I think in the future this mechanism can also be diverted to daily items and groceries, so I need to build up my know-how now!

Well praised, Barletta smiles happily.

In one word, it felt like all the hard work I had ever had had had paid off.

"But it was the craftsmen who worked the hardest. While we were away, he made everything exactly as we instructed."

"Yeah. You have to appreciate that, don't you? Another banquet to reward you... No, I wonder if a gold seal would be more delightful."

"Right. I knew money would please you the most"

"Right. And we have to reward Mr. Barletta with something."

"What!? Wow, I don't mind!

"No, no, that's not how it works. I'm always working twice as hard on people, anything? Whatever!

"Uh... why... ugh"

The first request came to my mind, "I want you two to be alone for the whole day," but if I don't kick the herbs out of Clarissage, I'm not going to be able to say it, though.

It's because Nina and the others call me heckles around here.

By the way, Nina and the others are following as escorts, but they're not on the spot because they're either paying attention to the two of them or "waiting outside the workshop".

To Barletta, who started roaring with her head in her arms, Ichiyoshi was so thrilled inside, "What the hell are you thinking".

"As it were, well, you can say it later. If you come up with anything, let me know."

"Yes. Ugh..."

"That's right, there's something I need to tell Mr. Barletta. What is it about Reese... Um, are you okay?

"Ugh, what do I do...... Ah, yes! It's okay!"

"Uh, well, it's a little complicated... shall we talk over there"

Travel with two people in the corner of the workshop and sit side by side on the bench.

Ichiyoshi discusses Nibel's sexual harassment and yesterday's Zirconia story.

"That's what... Dear Leese, you've been putting up with me for a long time"

Barletta says with a rugged look.

Baretta has never heard anything like that from Liese before.

Originally, it was before I came to Isteria, so I don't know and deserve it.

Barletta also had previous experience of being attached to Alondo, so I could somehow understand her twitching.

"Yeah, I don't know what's going to happen in the future, and it's like Zirconia's idea to get rid of him."

"Eliminating... assassinating Mr. Niebel, you mean?

Barletta turns a good face that looks suspicious.

"Yeah. If I drag you down from your current position, it looks like you're going to do it"

"Mr. Kazra, did you agree with that?

"Agreed...... yeah, right. Because I can't risk leaving you at risk. I don't know what's coming."

"Really..."

"Uh, you know, me, am I wrong?

One good looks in a panic at Barletta, who got sad and depressed.

"No... I just thought you weren't like Mr. Kazla..."

"Isn't it like me?"

"Yes."

Barletta looks worried and sees the good.

"I feel too extreme... to drag him down, to arrest him after uncovering some injustice and put him on trial, or more orderly... I think it's better to do it the right way"

Reese had pleaded guilty to Elmia "just picked a quick way because the roundabout was troublesome".

What would she think if Zirconia and Ichigo found out about the assassination of Nibel?

I'm sure Baretta was impressed by the shock.

Besides, it was more than anything surprising to Barletta that Ichigo endorsed such a radical method.

"That's true... after you get your hands on the territory of Gregorn territory and let the current system completely revamp. He's got a lot of vested interests, and I was wondering if he'd honestly get on the ropes... and get involved in a lot of commotion."

"I know that, but after all, I don't agree"

Barletta drops her eyes on her own lap.

"Even if I meant to understand with my head, if I did that, maybe that would stay a heartbreak for the rest of my life. Isn't that the kind of reason you have to do it, or you can't help it?"

"Isn't that rational?"

"Yes. I don't think it's like killing each other on the battlefield like it was before. What Zirconia is trying to do is assassinate an individual."

"... Am I wrong?

"I think I'm the only one who can decide that"

Barletta responds instantly.

"I just thought Mr. Kazra was really convinced..."

Barletta turns her anxious eyes to one good.

"I'm sorry I said something great. But I'm worried about Kazura..."

"I can't believe you look great... are you convinced,"

I wonder what I really want to do.

If possible, of course, I don't want to kill anyone, etc.

But as Zirconia told me yesterday, if something happened "if" without risk, that would be the only thing I wouldn't regret.

"I, I don't want Mr. Kazra involved in the matter. I think we should leave it to Master Zirconia."

When Ichiyoshi had been thinking about it for a while, Barletta said it was pompous.

"But if Mr. Kazra wants to do it with me, I'll do it with him then."

Barletta looks up to the good.

"All the time, no matter what, I'm right next to Mr. Kazura... Shh..."

Valletta solidifies herself in a good looking outfit.

Because from the lattice window over his head, Nina and her five village daughters made sure to stick to the lattice, and they were in desperate shape and somewhat mouth puckered.

"... Mr. Barletta?

Ichigo follows Barletta's gaze and looks back behind her.

At that moment, Nina hid herself.

Ichigo tilts his neck and returns his face to Valletta.

"Is there something in the window?

"Yes, no, the...!

Barletta glances at the plaid window.

Nina and the others peeked into her face again, and it was time for them all to have a mouth ache.

"Konya Isioni Nesacete Kudasaite Yea!

"Here, tonight, um..."

"Ah, yes. What is it?

"Uh... eh, why don't you watch it with me in the movies!?

"" "" "" Are you an asshole? Ahhh!?

"Whew!?

Suddenly sounding out loud, not only good, but even all the craftsmen in the workshop look back into the lattice window a little bit.

At the same time, the sound of multiple people falling on the verge and the fine screams echoed from across the window.

Ichiyoshi stands up and peeks into the window.

Nina and the others were lying on their backs and falling over.

Nina and I have a good eye.

"... me, mehe"

"What the fuck... is that why? Aah!!

"" "" "Oh, I'm sorry -!!

Nina runs away in a great panic, with a good look on her face.

"Were you eavesdropping? We need to stop talking about the assassination… I don't know if I'm going to tell you."

Behind the blur, Barletta held her head.
