Patrick's body is buried near Isaac's flowerbed.

The grave was dug by Isaac with his own hands.

I'm digging a hole.

Once Isaac buries the bulb, Patrick, interested in what he buried, digs it back.

- I remember that there was such an exchange.

But they don't dig back anymore.

At the time I thought, "Don't get in the way," but now it was a nostalgic exchange.

"Patrick, did I screw you?

"Yeah...... You look tired, so let me put you to bed."

Next to Isaac digging a hole, Kendra is staring at Patrick.

I don't know how Lisa can explain it, I'm holding Kendra tight and deluding her.

herself, her eyes were moist.

When he finishes digging the hole, Lisa hugs Patrick and offers it to Isaac.

"Isaac, yes"

Same interaction Patrick had when he came to the house.

But the meaning of the word is very different.

- Meet and break up.

Too extreme.

When I received the body from Lisa, I felt as heavy as the first time I tried to lift Patrick.

"Kendra, say good night to Patrick."

"Good night, Patrick"

Kendra stroked Patrick's head to say goodbye.

Patrick's body is placed at the bottom of the hole with the cushion he's been using instead of the bed.

As Isaac gets out of the hole, he fills the soil back with a large shovel.

Lisa and Kendra also began to soil over Patrick with scoops for horticulture.

"Patrick Coo. Yah!

I guess I felt something as a child.

Kendra cried out as Patrick became invisible in the dirt.

Seeing as it hurts, Lisa hugs Kendra.

Tears were also spilling out of her eyes.

Isaac cried, too, and covered himself with dirt.

When he finished filling the hole, Isaac took three flowers from the flowerbed.

Give that to Kendra and Lisa one at a time.

"Good night, Patrick. Thanks for everything."

"Get some rest."

Isaac and Lisa place flowers in Patrick's grave.

"... I'll see you soon."

Imitate the two of you, and Kendra puts down the flowers, too.

I can't help but understand something called death yet.

You will learn to realize that there is no Patrick in your future life.

"When you don't have a brother, I want Kendra to send flowers to Patrick sometimes. If I did, I wouldn't miss Patrick either."

"... yeah"

Isaac holds Kendra and cries with her.

It's the same with Kendra who lost her friend.

Even though we've also made human friends lately, it should be hard to lose Patrick, who's been with us forever.

I have to figure out a way to distract the loneliness.

As Isaac thought about what was to come, he felt signs that someone would pick flowers.

Turning around, there was Tiffany.

"Tiffany, what's wrong?

"'What's wrong? It's not. If Patrick was dead, you would have told me."

She offers flowers to Patrick's grave.

"My grandfather told me Isaac was home too and I came to see how things were going. So when I came to your mansion, I was surprised to hear you were burying Patrick. I wanted to say goodbye, too."

"Sorry, looks like it was working. I forgot to tell you."

To Tiffany with a grudging eye, Isaac returns with a bitter smile.

She's also a friend of Patrick's.

I should have taught you right.

But seeing the fact that "Patrick is dead," such an idea had blown out of my mind.

I'm gonna miss you.

Tiffany squeaks.

Tiffany started sleeping with Patrick's tummy on his pillow.

I can't sleep with you anymore, and I can't feel the weight in my arms.

If this were to happen, I would have regretted coming to see you more.

"You're really gonna miss me. But it's not like that time anymore..."

Isaac now has family and friends.

There are also Tiffany and Lisa, so there is nothing frustrating about not being able to recover.

The hard times without friends were overcome thanks to Patrick.

I just want to thank you for that.

I added Kendra to the three people I once played with Patrick and we all prayed for Patrick's blessing.

----------

That evening, Isaac asked the office.

To talk to Randolph.

I'm sorry about Patrick.

He seemed to know about Patrick, too.

I've said the most unfortunate thing about opening up.

But there's not much emotion caged in there.

Because I'm disturbed by the paperwork in front of me.

"Yeah, I needed to talk to you about Patrick. Can you get Kendra a new dog or a cat? It's almost my fifth birthday, and it'll be just fine."

"Right. Maybe I can give Kendra a gift so she doesn't miss me. You don't want Isaac?

"Yeah, you don't need me. I'm going to be busy being a student. It would be pathetic if I didn't have time for you."

To tell you the truth, he wants a little.

But like I said, I'm going to be busy with a lot of things (...).

I couldn't play with my new pet and didn't want to make him lonely.

Isaac didn't want it until his own minute because he thought it was enough to play with Kendra's gifted pet.

"Okay. This year I have been contacted to come to Wang Capital earlier than usual to reward me. If we leave after your birthday, we should reach the King's Capital before Kendra's birthday. Ask your father to prepare it for you."

I was going to leave it to Morgan to look after my pet.

Randolph himself because he can't afford that much.

"Still, it's horrible to just look at cash spending. What would have happened if I hadn't done something like let Dwarf's goods be delivered once and sold off to the merchants?"

Show Isaac the paperwork that is Randolph's troubled seed.

There it was written about soldiers' field allowances, condolences to the survivors of the war victims, and the cost of purchasing soldiers' food.

Isaac also frowns at spending over 10 billion leads.

"That's a great forehead."

"Without cash income, the cash changeover would have taken a while. Thanks to what you did, I was saved. Thanks to you, I can make up for the cost of war for everyone tomorrow. There's no war at all."

The Marquis have enormous assets.

But until now, I haven't had much in the form of cash.

Had Isaac not collected gold from merchants in his dealings with Dwarves, he would still have been desperate to collect cash.

"Don't you have a filling from the royal family?

"It is in the form of a reward. But that's since I went to King's Capital, and I wouldn't be able to expect that much. We're fine, but some of the nobles under the umbrella will be getting more nostalgic with the cost of war. You should give me as much as you can right now."

"Oh, I see"

This war is not a war of aggression, but a war of defence.

There is no territory to be allocated as a reward.

Naturally, there shouldn't be too many rewards we can get out of the Reid royal family.

The warring lords will rely on gratuities from the kingdom of Fartil and gold that sold Rockwell's equipment as scraps of iron.

(I wonder if you could be like the Shogun of Kamakura after the ex-koku)

Isaac thinks about that.

Shogun Kamakura couldn't offer your family enough rewards.

Hooray for the equally dissatisfied nobles to lose their loyalty to the royal family.

He died on the battlefield, but the war might have been profitable enough.

"It's hard to lose the trick and the money you've saved all at once."

"I don't have a choice. Because I don't save money to save, I save it to use. Let's give up thinking that the time has come. As long as our relationship with Dwarf continues, we're going to save money, so it's no use worrying."

"Exactly.... Damn, you're such a thoughtful guy."

That's what Randolph laughs at.

Isaac has no hesitation in paying such a large sum of money "because it is necessary".

Because Randolph could only laugh and accept the size of the vessel.

What would Isaac think if he found out "the amount is too big and he just can't imagine how much money it is"?

"I can't help but what I need. Be excited for Kendra, too. I like a sweet kid like Patrick."

"Okay. Let me tell your father."

Isaac went back to his room when he asked Randolph about his pet.

And call Norman.

"Norman, send a messenger to Uncle Lancaster. I want you to tell him I'll lend you an indefinite interest from my hand, without a loan."

"Is it five billion? It would be helpful if you could tell me why."

It's too big a sum for Norman to answer immediately, "Yes, I understand."

Ask Isaac why.

"I just went to Father's. Seems like he was spending a lot of war money on this war. The Marquis Welrod family makes money doing business with Dwarves, which is fine, but the Count Lancaster family is as it has always been. There are also war casualties out there, so it should be tough with condolences and all that. I want to help the people I fought with."

"I see...... I know it's no deadline or interest. But I don't think it's a good idea that there's no borrowing."

"That's easy. If you take the letter of borrowing, you may also be able to say, 'Isaac is about to tangle Uncle Lancaster in a geese cross for a leap'. It would be easy to step down without a loan. For each other."

"Is that what happened? I get it. I'll send a messenger right away."

"I asked for it."

Norman left the room to let out the messenger.

Make sure he leaves, Isaac has a dark grin.

(That old man feels like he's in charge. Just because you don't have a letter of borrowing won't make it easy to step down. If you sell grace, that should stay in the corner of your mind. easier to side with, and will be less likely to be enemies)

The confectioners themselves had plain sales, but they just haven't made enough money to give them five billion leads.

What I give to the Earl of Lancaster is the gold I once earned from an iron ore bid in the city of Tilly Hill.

After all, it wasn't a mistake to save it for when you spend money.

(If I can help you in trouble, I'd be many times happier than I am in nothing. There comes a time when these actions will bear fruit one day)

Thinking about it, Isaac returned it to me.

(If Patrick just died, why are you thinking this? I am! Until this time...... That's what I was, myself? Because of this body? Or is it because of my childhood life?

If I were myself in my previous life, I'd think a week was such a big shock that I couldn't do anything with a snag.

The loss of Patrick was such a big thing.

- But now I'm sad but I'm doing what I have to do.

Is that because you got a new body?

Or was it because of the childhood situation that Isaac couldn't tell?

However, I was made to understand that I was becoming a different person than I was in my previous life.

----------

The next day.

Randolph was explaining the grant by gathering the nobles who had joined the war.

Hearing that the Marquis Welrod family would pay for all the soldiers' allowances, etc., they were stroking their breasts down with ho.

Because in some cases, they were prepared to say, "Half the price is borne by the deputy."

With this one explanation, you can see the good feathering of the Marquis Welrod family.

I was thankful to God for my good fortune as an umbrella nobleman of the Marquis of Wellrod.

Although, it's a subsidy for now (...).

There is no "no money to go to Wangdu", only about the amount of money.

The bounty will be paid separately, but that will be determined after seeing the amount of reward coming out of the royal family.

Even though the royal family gave him a reward of 10 million leads, there's no way the Marquis Wellrod family would give him a reward of 20 million leads.

Then it is because it will paint mud on the royal face.

How much you give away can be decided after you go to the King's Capital.

Here Isaac was thinking of rewarding certain two people for not being monetary.

The matter is discussed with Randolph in advance.

Isaac stands before everyone after Randolph finishes his talk to announce those who reward him.

"There are two people from me who would like to personally honor my achievements. Perhaps you already know."

Responding to Isaac's words, the nobles move their gaze.

At the end of that gaze were Matt and Tommy.

Everyone thought, "You want to brag about your own kids".

The fact that his men are good is also a compliment to his superiors.

I expected everyone to say Matt's name first.

"Let's start with Kai. Kai, come forward."

"Ha, yes!

- The anticipation of many fell out.

Indeed, Kai took over Leo, the enemy of his predecessor, the Marquis of Wellrod.

But he was also a friend of Nathan's.

I've never heard that Isaac and I are close.

Kai, who would have been neglected, was upset that he had been called first.

Everyone listens to what Isaac tells them.

"Kai, you and I had a lot going on."

"Yes, I am very sorry for that verse..."

Kai was atrophied, even though he didn't think they would say anything bad.

After all, past causes are affecting.

But Isaac didn't show the bare hands that cared about the past.

"But I am very grateful to Grandpa Song for taking his revenge. I want you to accept the Dwarf spear for your bravery."

"Eh."

Isaac received a spear from Norman and offered it to Kai.

Kai finally received the spear.

"Thank you, Ky. Well done. And if you don't mind, could you be friends with me?

"But I told Isaac..."

Kai couldn't accept Isaac's offer.

That's all the past was an unforgettable event.

"Are you sure you're forgiving me? There is also anxiety."

Isaac stared with a sincere eye with his hand on Kai's shoulder so as to blow Kai's worries like that.

"You said you served because you wanted to help me. This time the handles don't just make you forget about the past. It's worth building a new relationship. Will you stay with me as a friend from now on? Plus, I don't have many friends, so I'm glad they're friends."

"Dear Isaac..."

I had just lost Patrick, so Isaac's words contained something somewhat damp.

That created persuasion in the words and caused Kai's body to tremble with joy.

"From now on, I'll go with you. Call me Isaac."

"Thank you, Isaac. Thank you for forgiving me."

Kai weeps and says a word of gratitude.

Isaac held his body tight like that.

"That's all you did. It's this way to thank you. Thank you, Ky."

Seeing this exchange, applause boiled from all around us.

Reconciliation between the two is a wonderful thing.

But it means more than that.

- Isaac allowed Kai.

This, including the case of Count Bristol, proved that Isaac was not the same type as Jude.

Isaac has something scary about Isaac, but he's better than Jude.

The fact that "with proper results, it will water past things" is huge.

It is the same for everyone who is happier that human beings take the lead, not just in strictness, but in a combination of rigour and kindness.

This applause was not only a celebration of Kai, but also of Isaac's growth as a human being.

And to our own future.

When Kai returned to his seat with a spear, even Isaac could see his father Viscount Maxwell stroking his head, "Good for you".

"Baron Kincaid is next. Come forward."

Now I call Baron Kincaid.

He has several reasons to keep the reward.

But that was supposed to be given to Isaac in the future when he became Lord's deputy.

This is a great opportunity to give you that reward with dignity.

Isaac didn't want to miss this opportunity.

"Baron Kincaid. You've often assisted your father. Many have returned safely thanks to you."

"No, thanks to Isaac's conceived operation."

Baron Kincaid makes a statement standing Isaac.

But Isaac shook his head to the side and denied it.

"That's not true. Perhaps it would be rude to compare it to being too big...... If I were Victor Ford, Baron Kincaid would be Charlene Ford. You made the operation I had in mind workable. We believe that the achievement is significant. Therefore, I will consult with your father and grandfather and entrust you with the new deputies of the city who are now sending a government official to govern you."

"What, are you a deputy?

I knew that one day I would get Isaac as a reward for cooperating, but I didn't think I'd get it anymore.

It was a delightful miscalculation for Baron Kincaid.

But there's also a problem.

"You can use the Clerk of State or something like that as it is, but it would be better for the future to go to King's Capital this year and hire a new bureaucratic candidate. Please notify the Marquis Wellrod family of the cost of new employment, etc."

"Thank you"

Baron Kincaid was relieved that Isaac had crushed the seeds of concern first.

You can use the bureaucrats you are in as they are, but it still doesn't feel good to use the men of those who were deputies of the previous generations as they are.

Because I'm used to my job, so I can't wait to be snuck up on the wrongdoing behind so my new deputy doesn't notice me.

I would have appreciated it if you could give me a subsidy for the replacement because I needed to replace people in moderation.

"Please also receive this spear. Next time, not just wisdom, but spear work, maybe."

Give Baron Kincaid a Dwarf spear, too.

I'm in charge of the staff officer now, but one day I might have him fighting on the front line.

To those who depended, I wanted to bring good equipment to increase my chances of survival.

Isaac ends up looking around at all the attendees.

"This is a thank you from me to those who have done a remarkable job. Of course, it doesn't mean you weren't all working. Your father will give you enough bounty next year when you return from Wang Du. I'm sure you'll wait a little while, but stay tuned."

Isaac's words reassured the attendees.

Humans are creatures that get anxious if they don't get something soon.

Promises alone make me wonder "what will happen".

So Isaac was the first to give Kai a reward.

- Even if there are causes in the past, you get a reward commensurate with your work.

The guarantee was Isaac's behavior.

Kai was rewarded for his personal (...).

Aside from the position of spears and Isaac's friends, the Viscount Maxwell family should be given an adequate bounty.

Baron Kincaid was also given a great reward for entrusting a new city deputy.

There will be no new office-holders, but you can expect a reward from money.

"I'll be a student next year. While I'm gone, I want you all to support your father."

"Yes!"

Candy using Kai (...) was working well enough.

Especially parents with kids who were Nathan's friends are changing the color of their eyes.

"If we get results, we'll be forgiven for our mistakes," I figured out, so I started thinking about the future and thinking about what I could do.

This incident, by forgiving Count Bristol, led to the consolidation of Isaac's assessment, which was shaking between "good" and "bad", in a good direction.

That would be a small but significant step towards the future.
