The members who go to the city of Dwarf are basically the same as those who went to the village of Elf.

The difference was that Bridget wouldn't go and there were a few more escorts.

"The Dwarf city stinks, and you don't want to go because you feel like smoking," Bridget refused.

Members other than Isaac regretted this decision.

Because the colour of the journey has been lost.

More escorts because Dwarves don't use magic.

The escort was increased on the grounds that "Dwarves are strong, but not magically irrational strength".

It doesn't make sense to escort that one magic shot would exhaust every Isaac.

"Now we may have a turn," the escort thought, motivated.

But I have trouble with their appearance, so I just have trouble getting motivated.

One line arrives at the border city of Alster.

Stay here for the night before heading to Saltstadt.

Hospitality is basically done by Viscount Maxwell, but naturally his son Kai also responds.

- This Kai was the problem.

"Take your time"

At the end of Isaac and the others' welcome, time was created to talk only to the children.

But there was one big problem here.

Kai was at the top of Nathan's friends.

But Isaac's friends were the bottom line as Nathan's friends.

That is now the friend of Isaac, whom Nathan has made the enemy of his eyes.

- Isaac and his friends are like enemies if you take it to Kai.

It was too awkward for Kai to deal with Isaac and the others.

In fact, Paul and Raymond didn't seem to have any favorable feelings for Kai.

I felt like cursing my father for throwing me into this situation that children would be able to get along with each other.

"Don't slow down, just go" was what Kai meant.

Knowing Kai's thoughts or not, Isaac was smiling.

The grin seemed to say, "What shall I do?" and Kai wanted to get away with it now.

Speaking of which, there's something I wanted to ask Kai.

"Hey, what is it?

"I'm here!" Kai thought.

I know what they're going to say here.

Anyway, I said, "How are you feeling now?" or something like that is decided to be asked.

Kai fell from a winning Nathan faction to a loser in just one day.

It will be about those who were attached to the Nathan faction that have experienced such a rapid change in recent years.

I didn't want to, but Kai was only one person who had had that valuable experience, freaking out at Isaac's every step of the way.

"Once upon a time." Isn't he really a woman? Remember when you told me you were always playing with women?

"What, no, that's... Remember..., there isn't. Maybe even when I said it, it was pretty small..."

- Words I don't remember saying.

Given the contents, perhaps what I said seven or eight years ago?

Even if they brought up old things that they didn't remember, Kai couldn't help but react.

"Oh, you're done," so my breasts were full.

This is not just Kai.

Paul and the others who were listening beside Isaac thought the same thing.

But Isaac had no intention of hunting down Kai.

"Come on then. I was fooling around with girls, but I thought," In a decade, you'll be able to see a woman's complexion. "

"Huh?"

Kai leaked the missing voice between them as the conversation turned in a different direction than he thought.

"What do you say? I heard you had a fiancée, but are you peeking at the girl's complexion or something?

I know Kai was a Nathan child.

As I said earlier, I also remember you making a statement to be deducted.

But now that Alster has become an important city due to the start of a deal with Dwarf, it is better to repair our relationship with the Viscount Maxwell family.

Since it was not sufficiently subtracted to be subject to solemnity, Isaac decided to carry out a reconciliation measure against Kai.

That was what cut out the story of the past.

"No, I'm not paying particular attention"

"What, why!?

Now it was Isaac's turn to be surprised.

If I had a lover or fiancée, I'd be careful.

I'm a junior high school student at my age.

I don't know how to deal with heterosexuals, and it's not strange to treat them politely.

I couldn't help but wonder how Kai handled it.

"Whatever you say..."

Kai was just having trouble with Isaac's reaction.

Unexpectedly, turn your gaze for salvation to Raymond.

Raymond decided to send out a help ship, like, "Oh, boy."

Because this isn't just for Kai, it's also for Isaac.

"Isaac. We're deputies' sons, and we're successors. Whatever their daughter is connected to the Marquis or the leading Count family, they're in a position for the other side to be concerned."

"Heh, yeah. I thought you were staring at the girl's complexion."

"No, Isaac should know that much"

"'Cause I don't know because I don't have a girlfriend or fiancée."

That's what I say, Isaac laughs.

The other kids are confused not knowing how to react.

Just one.

Only Paul, who also had no lover or fiancée, had a bitter laugh.

"But it's boring." I used to say that, and now I'm staring at the girl's complexion. "

"I'm sorry"

Kai bows his head and apologizes.

"Nothing's fine. It's not like they're gonna apologize."

Isaac waved lightly and took an eagle attitude that he didn't care.

"Thank you. I regret that I should have thought better about how I dated Isaac for a long time."

Kai looks remorseful.

However, this is not just the pure thought of "I wanted to hang out as a friend".

It also included many regrets for political miscalculations that I should have made friends with leading men like Isaac.

Nevertheless, it was the parents' orders that made us friends with Nathan.

What's more, it's just because Margaret was rooting for it.

It was not the responsibility of Kai alone, who could not judge for herself at a young age.

But Kai regretted his decision.

Because I was actually the one who was acting.

"I don't really care. Raymond and the others were originally my brother's friends, but now they're friends with me. Well, it's just that there wasn't as much contact as there was in the roots."

"It would be helpful if you could say that"

Kai exhales a ho soothing sigh.

Surely, as Isaac put it, we have not kept away all those who were Nathan's friends.

I was able to believe the words because they are indicated in my actions.

"But apart from Kai's relationship with the other kids. You know, I've actually been dating a lot of people."

When Isaac turned his gaze to his friends, they nodded silently.

Even though he was a friend of Nathan's, some of them were Hieralky.

Kai, who was at the top, and Paul, who was at the bottom, were treated differently.

Isaac wanted it to be resolved between the parties because he wasn't willing to stick his neck in anything around it.

"I could have taken Kai to Saltstadt, too, but we'll sort things out around there first. You can't go out on an AC with giddy air."

"Yes......"

Kai also looked at Isaac's attitude and said, "Maybe we can go together," which just seemed a little too bad to start expecting.

But I know why.

If there was a giddy air between Paul and the others, it might make me feel bad about the Dwarf side.

I had to admit, though reluctantly.

Isaac, who feels such Kai's emotions, tries to change the story.

"Speaking of which, Dwarves were here to check prices in the human city, weren't they? Didn't you talk to her then?

"We talked. It's about public speaking..."

"Then let me tell you a little bit about it. I'd like some information before we meet."

Following Isaac's words, Kai begins to talk a little bit about Dwarves visiting Alster.

In between, Isaac and the others ask questions, and Kai answers.

The conversation continued without silence, although there was still a shaky air.

----------

After a night in Alster, Isaac and the others leave for Saltstadt.

On the road, it was different from many wagons.

The road was surrounded by wasteland, so it looked like a carriage going wilderness in the pioneering era.

(So even if they come out to rob a carriage, I'm in trouble)

There is no city around, so I really remain insecure in terms of security.

For once, he deploys many soldiers to patrol.

But given the value of the luggage you're carrying, some people should think about taking it away.

I'm concerned about keeping the trading route safe now, but I'm afraid one day I'll loosen my mind.

You will also need to check if the suspicious are in and out of the vicinity of Alster.

But Isaac thought, "That's exactly what I think."

"What's going on with that one?" Even if it's good enough to confirm, it's not good enough to say anything in detail.

I have some difficulty getting them to move at the discretion of the field.

For that reason too, I thought excessive intervention should be avoided.

When the problem seemed to arise, I thought I would just keep it out in the form of suggestions for improvement.

Besides, this is not the same time I visited the village of Elf.

The Sieghardts who come to pick me up, and negotiations to keep Dwarves on their side, must also proceed.

I couldn't afford to think of anything extra.

If it's about security, I can even think about it when I get home.

It wasn't something I had to think about right now.

As the carriage rocked me for a while, I saw a rest stop at the midpoint.

I'm going to be staying here for the night.

Where Isaac and the others stayed was secured by the preceding Normans.

For dinner, a barbecue with a cooking table prepared for the lounge.

Paul shrugged in front of the roasted meat.

"Barbecue. The village of elves had a lot of fun with cute kids...... Is the Dwarf girl cute?

Paul, who still has no fiancée, seemed really concerned about the girl.

But that's the same for Isaac.

I was worried about a Dwarf girl I hadn't seen yet.

But I wasn't expecting it.

"Dwarves. So was my uncle, but my kid Sieghardt was still quite a mucky body too...... I don't think you can expect much from a girl, can you?

"I wonder if so. What did Mr. Claude think of the Dwarf girl?

"The Dwarf girl."

Claude was a little surprised when suddenly she shook the girl's subject, but soon returned to her usual look.

"Isn't she cute? I'm sure it depends on your taste."

"Are you cute! I hope we get along."

Paul brightens his expression.

The other kids have the same, slightly expected look.

But only Isaac couldn't be that optimistic.

(You can't say you're not cute to someone in a friendly relationship)

Besides, given Claude's character, I don't think he'd say bad things about the other guy.

You should think about it at some discount.

(I'm not expecting anything from a girl. I don't... but I wonder if a pretty girl would be better anyway)

Isaac thought, "I hope we can get along."

But this time it's not about getting along with girls.

- Ask them to sell the required amount of gunpowder in five years.

At the very least, we have to keep this story together.

It bothers me, but Isaac didn't have room for me to be out of line about the girl.
