"And you looked it up!? About Dan!! No. Absolutely not! Please, Fio, don't do it again.... I don't know what to do, if I apologize with you... Yeah, I'd rather not say..."

Are you scared? That Ira?

Nothing. It would be so normal.

"Isla, are you scared of anything? What are you afraid of? It's not natural enough to examine your reputation. It's like a public story."

"Oh, yeah.... Ugh. Well... I wouldn't like it if I could check myself out where no one knows. You shouldn't do that. I don't want Dan to get mad at me. Ugh... food and drinks are very unsavory. Fio, you can't check on Dan anyway. You don't need it, do you?

With such a general theory, it's troublesome to be told about the importance of the territory.

But I wonder what he's feeding Ira.

I've been thinking, this girl's got sweet sides.

If Fio had lost room for Dan to come in, it wouldn't have been such a hassle.

... unscrupulous demands on boulders?

"If you need it, su. Son says if you know your enemies and you know yourself, you won't be in danger of a hundred battles. Is that a good idea? It is likely that Dan will have an unscrupulous idea and seek further power. And for the one without soldiers, the only way to incorporate a meadow tribe that is not under Karma's command. On the contrary, if you only watch the distance between Dan and the Beast Man, the problem will not arise for the moment. I don't care if you tell Dan you're looking into it. If you know this one's careful, you won't be wasting your time."

"Ugh.... I can't say very much. Karma thinks the same thing?

If Dan hadn't called Karma back from Rand, it would have been in the same eyes as Viviana is now. A benefactor to our lives. I think there's a reason to be subordinate. Besides, in a world like this, we should do anything to survive, right?

"I trust Dan clean. Are there people in this world who don't know that much? As someone who stands above men, you can't leave the fate of 10,000 men like that to you."

"It is only natural for the First Hand to risk his life for his master and help him. Once that's reversed, you know this country won't be made, right? Yet after his demeanor and his mouth went beyond his subordination, he went crazy because he made Ira his own subordinate."

"Maybe if you killed Dan, you thought I'd be back and you gave him an assassin?... If Dan dies, I won't be under Karma's command. Be under Lydia's command. And if Lydia says she will take Dan's revenge...... kill Karma and Grace. I think Rusty can help us out then."

"Hey, hey!? Lord Ira... why did you get all the way there... uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

"... So Ira picks Dan over us?

"I really didn't want to say this... But they don't know anything. I listened to the conversation and found out who the winning man was. Karmas who don't know if they can win... can't survive without Lydia.

Besides, Dan is a lifesaver and his family is alike. I thank you. "

"Uhm...... uhm! Ira, that's the way of the samurai. A samurai is something to be thankful for. You were as free as a tiger... you've become splendid. I'm glad to hear that."

... as the Gare is left alone.

Oh, my God, I can't believe Dan has this far to go.

Or maybe you don't want me to go hostile with Dan?

The idea of Ira, a wild child, is simple, but the basics are too different to guess all the time.

If you think about it, those four guys over there are the only ones who can't read their thoughts.

Oh, my God. Those guys, you could be gare alone.

... No more sending assassins.

Ira, you can't risk your opponent just in case.

Dan's decision to make Ira and Rusty carry weapons all the time, so against it, Raven and Gare are always wearing swords, too.

If it is a dispute, how much damage will it do?

But it's hard to misunderstand. It seems ungrateful to Gare and the others.

"I'm telling you I didn't send an assassin earlier. And there seems to be a misunderstanding. I know we've been helped by Viviana more than this. Lydia, of course, even Dan, well, seriously works for me as my secretary, and naturally, if you're my subordinate, I'll use it even more heavily to heed your opinions.

Yeah, I think I'll give you something to thank you for when I get back. What do you think would be a good idea if I were to give it to Dan, Ira? Eggs? Onions? Or beautiful crafts. "

Looks like Lydia had an affair with Viviana, and she needs Lydia to be close to Viviana.

Better keep those two in the mood.

Besides, it would be best if Dan could get in touch with you.

"... Dan isn't interested in it all. When it comes to hobbies, it's like Beecher, but I don't think he's that enthusiastic."

What's that?

What's he having so much fun and living for?

"So how about a woman? Thin men like him can help some woman every day."

Oh, you had a hand in giving women.

Good question, Gare.

"Ah! Yes, Lord Ira! Have you ever lived with that man and felt in danger? Don't be alarmed because you're stronger. What dirty means are you targeting Lord Ira......!

"... I'm not feeling it. I don't even know a woman who seems close. Dan's probably at home, but she's never been here before."

"Oh, my God. Oh, my God, what if he's a man?

"! If I do it about my skin, I may be familiar or feminine... I heard it was a common story, but people close to men started.... Ugh. My attitude is going to change. Grace, are you okay?

"Beh, nothing that unfamiliar. Wouldn't it be safer if you were a man?... I'm worried about Raven."

"That man, was he that disgusting... That said, considering Lord Ira, it's certainly safe. Maybe I should be happy with it. Shh... Even a small job is better for a woman than a man..."

"Uh... I don't think he's probably a man, huh? Hey, guys, are you listening?

Oh, right.

I've been upset because I haven't had much time in my life.

"Ah... because I don't know what kind of man Lydia likes. And Lydia had nothing to do with me when I turned her over. [M] I'm scared..."

Eh ".

"Nobody's thinking about that! Don't you, sister?"

"Ugh, um. You know the difference between growing up just by eating that girl's meal? I didn't know you'd find the right man anywhere in Talk Territory that's the border you're looking for...... Even if he gave away a beautiful man, he couldn't bear to be next to Lydia, something he was proud of.... or even though I have to find a man and make an inheritance... I can afford to be talking like this..."

Oh, this topic doesn't taste good.

"Hold on, well, that's it! I can't help but talk about this at the banquet table! Let's add alcohol. Drink more!

"Ah, then I, do the art. A special art of walking that Dan taught me from a traveling artist."

"Huh. Lord Ira is a geisha? I'm sooo interested, but the man who has no talent in martial arts taught me how to walk...... uhm. I can expect it. I can't."

"Fool. That Ira is trying to give us a banquet. Be honest and happy. Ira, I'm counting on you."

"Yeah. I'll do my best. Everybody go that way. It looks better."

I knew Ira had changed.

I used to eat, eat, eat, and just drink.

But that change happened because of Dan, and I had trouble being so loyal.

... You didn't give up delivering us.

No, I'm coming.

I understood Ira's thoughts to some extent. That's just one step forward.

After that, we just have to change the situation little by little.

………………

Huh?

How come you're walking forward and you're backing off?

***

Phew... I drank too much boulder.

I'm tired and I want to go to bed fast, but I can't sleep until I hear the most important report, so let's do another thing.

"So? Were you in his room?

"Ha. It's not particularly keyed or anything, and I put it in easily. No one should have seen me, but as you can tell, I came in at the behest of an official, so I was wondering if anyone would be suspicious."

... That's a careless thing for him.

No, I'll be away for six months, so I guess I'll have to think about cleaning or something?

"What's the room like, what's the item you keep?

"Very normal intermediate...... no, if you consider it a junior official's room. With all the furniture, accessories and all the cheap stuff I keep. As for personality, Beecher's board, the Book of War. Oh, there's one thing that looks like money hanging. Tea. There were several empty teapots for you. And there's a well-used farm tool in the room. It didn't seem to be managed in the garden for a while, but also a fairly large vegetable field and edible fruit trees. Thank you for your vegetables."

Tea does cost money...

Agricultural sounds like a common man.

No ambitious person or nobleman is normal.

"Wasn't there some kind of sentence? For example, something from a prairie opponent."

"Absolutely. The handwriting was the same as the one you showed me, and there was just one thing on the way to copying the book of war."

"Other balls, onions, gold, ornaments. What kind of treasure?

"Everybody."

"Underground, did you check the walls for a hidden room? That's where they hide their wealth."

"We've looked into it. I won't be sitting in his room. I won't be sitting here long enough to check the whole house."

"Yeah, that room's good enough."

... I asked Ira once, but I don't know Ira if that reaction.

Hiding wealth without Ira knowing it at all will be quite harsh.

So there's really nothing?

You think I haven't received a tribute from the Beast Man or stockpiled a treasure to give to the Beast Man?

Besides, life to the extent of a junior official? He said he could live many times better now if he wanted to.

What's he really enjoying and living for?

Creepy guy everywhere......

Yeah... didn't you find the hang-up to contact me after all?

Even as I let people dive in as servants, Lydia's minister began to take care of the house, so it was a thousand opportunities for Ira to adjust her time away from home.

"Okay. Good luck. Back off today."

"Ha."

I'd also like to look into Lydia's house, but that house would be impossible if she did it with the hard-mouthed ministers guarding her absence.

... you're a tough guy.

I wish there was at least evidence of convenience for the Meadows and 'what they can do'.

Is Dan cautious or not a big relationship from the beginning......

There was nothing at all about being taken care of by the Meadows...

Chip. Knowing your enemies is the foundation of the foundation in military law, and I can't believe you're struggling so far with a human opponent who hasn't even learned military law properly.

Or am I just dancing alone?... then nothing like that, okay?

I know exactly how much Dan and the others helped me, and who I am without alarm, in the battle that's going on right now.

During a state of instability like now, you won't be foolish enough to start a civil conflict, but you have to be prepared to take the lead.

It's time to think alone......

Oh, Fio was looking into Dan too... shall I leave it to her to look into it?

... Let's talk to your sister too.

At least I thought it was after my eyes and nose came on.

Ha...... I need some more hand pawns.

That would reduce Lydia's relative importance and make Dan easier to contain.

But you don't have a big person coming to such a neighborhood...
