Ira snuck back in at midnight fifteen days after she left.

The report says he's a victorious general, but I felt sorry to have him come home to hide, but he doesn't seem to think anything of himself.

Looks rather in a good mood...... why?

"Dan, I'm home"

"Welcome home, Master Ira. Weren't you injured or something?

"I didn't. The one in the back is a souvenir I got from Ouran. I'm thinking about making some clothes, and why don't Dan do that?

I am referring to the mountain and the cloth piled on the three horses I am taking.

... No, this is...

"Isn't this all a thank you from Master Ouran for Ira's work?

"Right. But there's no way I can run out on my own, is there?

... I bet Karma has been rewarded with cloth before, but how could I?

If I had known, I would have used it in such a way that I could run out of bees...

"Dear Ira, if you can't use it, you can trade it for food or anything, right? I think Mr. Ouran was given a cloth to make it easier to replace it."

And Ira looked surprised when she heard my words.

... This guy really didn't have anyone to tell me.

Coming with a hollow.

Fio's guy, he's a tough guy to hang out with like a modern guy...

"There is such a way... Dan's so smart."

... It's a knowledge that anyone knows, should I say?

Normally, my parents ask me to use it or something, but in this person's case...

He was also in Japan. A guy who didn't know how to take a bath in someone else's house and was ashamed of himself.

You worried about whether you should teach then too...

"It's the range of knowledge most people know. Um, have you ever been rewarded by Mr. Talk with a cloth?

"I almost got it for the money. Then I'll exchange these tomorrow."

Yeah. That's good.

... No, wait.

If I let a beginner replace it, I could replace it at an awesome rate.

Besides, he's this subtly bogged underneath.

I don't want to make a terrible exchange.

"You don't know the flux of exchange, and this time I'll do it? You must be tired of the inconvenience I have called you at my request. I think it would be better if Ira knew about it in the form of accompanying me if she could afford it. If you say what you want, I will make sure you get as much as I can. Oh, I'll submit a proper record of the exchange."

"Oh, you will? Then I'm glad. The records are troublesome and unnecessary to be handed over.... and I guess it wasn't annoying. Because I've never been praised so much by a beast man. I was happy, and it was delicious. As much as I want to go again."

"Oh yeah...... is that right? Good for you. Well, you must be tired. Rest now. Dear Ira, thank you for asking for me this time."

The last time she smiled lightly and nodded at me, she walked into the room.

... er, ah, Master Jorg. What happened to you? What, you shot your opponent's head out in an hour and decided to win alone? Everyone was surprised and delighted to eat ten times more at the feast.

Did you come with the sheep and eat it so you could go home and eat something delicious?

I see... Mr. Ouran and Mr. Jorg are the ones who can really be concerned.

Thank you.

... Nooo, as a warlord getting food in battle, did you feel like a delicious part-time thing?

I didn't expect you to be happy......

I thought it wasn't weird to have bad feelings for me...

---

Lydia called me the night two months after Karma became Grand Chancellor.

"Dan, we have a great idea of Karma's course of action. It would be nice to talk to you right away...... it's time for you to tell me what you intend to do. The situation is becoming less and less spare."

I did wonder if it was time for me to talk too.

You should have said it from me.

If you let Ira go as a prairie reinforcement, I don't want her to know that I'm very satisfied with that. And the feeling caught me and stretched me too far.

"I understand, Master Barca. I'm so sorry to keep you waiting. I was also worried about what time I told you, and I was missing the opportunity. I'll tell you what you want and how it works now. May I take a moment?

"Yes. I've been waiting for you. You can even hang it overnight. Let me know."

No, it won't hang that long.

I'm scared my enthusiasm will come through even in a pale tone......

I've been given a really unexpected high rating.

Where did I go wrong...

"The current aim is to use Karma as a lord and on top of that create a situation where she is somewhat bound by my will.

But you are not familiar with it, and you will be forced to do so by violence. Therefore, I intend to protect Ira at that time. The reward for her is the winning chance I give Karma when she's absolutely desperate. This can also lead to Ira-like winning opportunities. Because she's going to fight for Karma.

In order to create a trust that I, a junior official, did not have, Barca told the Talk sisters and Ira before the outbreak of the Corno commotion.

Karma also handed over a locked box containing the items on the paper that predict the future that would occur if she went to Rand. It's roughly as it says at the moment. My first goal was to be more modest, but I decided to squeeze it out of her because Karma was in worse shape. "

Lydia sighed when she heard my words.

And I shake my head.

... I'm nervous just because I've been shown all this motion. What the hell is this guy?

"First of all... can you tell us about that winning opportunity and what you did?

"It's about letting Karma read the paper and have faith in my measures, so that I can go back to talk territory. And I'm a little more than Karma, but I have the trust from the Meadows. Perhaps, but not enough to ask for some reinforcement. Naturally it depends on the reward Karma gives, and if you betray that, you will be an enemy...... I wonder if, if we continue to do as Barca expects, we will be a reinforcement for Karma, who will be isolated and helpless, who will not gain even with all the money.

... I don't know what time it will be, but if it is a disturbance, there will be a battle, right? I don't think they can overlook my opinions if we talk about this at that time. "

"... he's frightened."

Mm-hmm. Are you scared? Did you feel like you were relying too much on Lydia's predictions?

I didn't mean to tell you to feel that way.

In fact, in addition to Lydia's predictions, I supplemented them with the information I gathered, because my predictions gave me the same answers.

Well, still, I'm pretty sure I relied heavily on you.

I think it's only natural to move with someone else's hundosi.

If so, would you like to apologize and ask for your request?

It's not who benefits that matters, it's the result, so any modification will work.
