"I heard a whisper by the ear of a man standing at the cliff. 'I wish I were dead'.

Kah!

Thanks for reacting as expected to the Betty Spirit Tale.

It was just Tina who reacted.

Tina Willis, a macho girl. Cousin of literary girl Anne Willis.

Hate ghosts, is it a Willis family tradition?

Give me a break.

"Hey, Tina. The reason I hate necromancers, not because they're creepy or unmanly, but simply because they're walking with ghosts...

"Don't ask me if I know! Bad taste, Hiro!

I admit I have a bad taste.

But I can't stop talking like this without clearing up my worries!

After the report at Takaoka Castle, there were two stories waiting for me back at the camp.

One is the story of a mountain that you can see up front to the right.

"North Avenue" extends west from Takaoka Castle. Sticking out on its north side, a small mountain.

Up to this mountain is considered the "eastern Daghda Basin".

Only in its eastern part can I assure you that it is the dominion of the kingdom at the moment.

This little mountain, locally, they call it "hill" or "hill mountain".

From here I'm facing "Takaoka" to the east, but "Hill" because it's not that high.

The chief of the near-field settlement, who brought him here to listen, explained that to me.

"There is another theory about the origin of the name, Master Wujia.

That's the long, sad face I told you about.

In retrospect of that, it was still an evil hobby to tell a spiritual tale.

Another theory, that is.

"Whoa, that mountain," so "Oyama".

It was called "Mount Bastard."

The Daghda Basin is poor. There were also circumstances in which the state of dispute continued.

Even if "that's what happened," no wonder.

"Oh no! Hido..."

I told you, Sarah covered her mouth.

Don't talk about it, I think it's splendid, even if I just noticed it on the way.

I'm only thirteen.

Growing up under the good governance of my father/Meadier Borderline Uncle, she must have never even heard of Mount Bastard.

"Political stability...... Efficient administration, due to the domination of large forces…. And the prevention of conflicts......

I can hear Sarah snapping.

I know exactly what you're thinking.

"So the Great Wall of Defense. Fort Rossa. Father was not cowardly...

Sarah spoke of, "The Great Wall of Defense, by name, Fort Rossa".

It is the so-called "Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles", built on the northern boundary of the Meadier Frontier Bo Territory. Of course, though not as long as that.

Well, we'll see about that later.

"Lately, the battle is gone and it's easier to live with. For years now, no old man has gone to the hills. Thanks to the martial artists. Thank you, thank you.

They put their hands together.

Being treated like a Buddha is so, so awkward.

Before that, because I had just become a ghost.

Another report that made me a ghost.

That's a scandal while you're away.

Situation of the camp while away, history from the first day of entry into the Daghda Basin.

It had the following flow:

Even if not as much as the second squad, our first squad, which is lighter than the main squad, had arrived at this camp after noon on the first day of the basin.

So finish the maps and reports and get the soldiers ready for their accommodation.

Run the light rider/snook of the decree to make him pick up the engineer who had requested the dispatch in advance.

Engineers arrive in the evening.

We had a meeting, stayed overnight, then in the morning we went around about the engineer captain and toured the construction a little bit.

So, on the afternoon of the second day, I went to Takaoka Castle in Griffon and attended the meeting that night.

The captain's deputies while away were left to Seimi de Woodmell.

The captains of each squadron are Sarah, Semi, Li, and Jack.

As an aristocrat, Seimi, who is set to become an Earl, is the highest.

It's not bad for Sarah, if you say it just by character. Exactly, it's premature to let Meadier lead Mel and Woodmell.

Besides, while the captain is away (more than an actual war), we have to get things going by agreement... If the proxy is the child Semi, it's only natural that he can't take leadership.

Naturally, it has to be discussed.

So, that second afternoon.

There was a small incident.

This camp is a location that should be a chase "station building".

"Station building," that's it. He's like a highway service area or a "road station" along the national highway.

Military accommodation is the main purpose, but it can also provide benefits for travellers. It also plays a role in revitalising the economy.

So even if we don't make it to full creation at the moment, we didn't just get the task of "cutting through the woods and creating space to put up tents".

Very simple, strike piles, do territory, set up watchtowers, make gateways...... and the Corps of Engineers planned to do that kind of work.

Our first unit is in charge of perimeter alert and meal support, as well as chores.

"Is that all you need? I would be able to cut trees..."

Just looking at the morning work. I see. Amateurs just get in the way.

Everything is done manpower, kingdom society.

The group named "Corps of Engineers," which indicates that they are experts, is exactly the expert, the master.

Work that had begun at dawn.

Before I put in my breakfast break, the woods were full of stumps.

Great view of the lake under the high ground.

Is this "before breakfast"?

Fifty years ago, I thought, I called the captain of the engineer, "Parent" by accident.

I thought I'd be pissed off, and "Hmm" spiraled laughter.

Anyway, next to its parent, I drooled a lesson for everyone.

"Gentlemen, never let it just get in the way! Ensuring the smooth operation of the Corps of Engineers is a task!

After that, I should have flown to Takaoka Castle.

Leo did it again.

No, maybe I didn't do it.

The only person who knows the truth will be the sun in the summer, which was illuminating the spot.

I was on guard, Leo.

It was time for a change, I tried to get away from the fence, slipped and fell.

Whether it's because of the shock. The lumber that stood in the vicinity fell.

Not Leo, towards the replacement crew.

Happy or unhappy, it was Sarah who was on patrol.

It would be nice if the preacher (Monk) 's girlfriend skipped the lumber with about three adult men's muscle strength.

He suffered a slight scratch on his hand and also broke a few pieces of lumber.

The fact that it was Agent Woodmell who was helped is another bad time or so.

Li Xiao apologizes to Ping.

Try the parent (captain of engineers) and say, "It's my mistake, I'm sorry.

Helped Woodmell operatives pale in the face when they heard that Sarah of Meadier was injured.

Sarah said in Sarah, "I broke the lumber and caused delays in my work.

"I thought I told you never to disturb me!

I yelled up.

He would have been beaten up scattered by Li Xiao, turning to Leo, whose face is full of blue bruises.

"Sorry! Battalion Commander!"

For some reason, Li Xiao popped up and lowered his head.

No, I have no doubt about bowing my head.

The odd thing is, the position that popped up.

I felt my gaze.

Joe, who was here to inspect, is looking at this one.

Mine, I'm looking at my hands.

I was pulling Asakura in, thumbing on the wax, my left hand.

Li Xiao was watching too.

Let me pull it out, and no, you're not gonna be a shield? So you jumped forward?

I'm trying to kill Leo...?

I feel cold and put Asakura aside.

It was clear to me that Li Xiao's nervousness was resolved.

"Leo! You always do!

In front of the crowd, Li Xiao waves his fist again.

It's painful, but if you look closely, the steeple was removed properly.

"Li Xiao. Do it by then. I want to hear the report. Is there an injured person? And progress, with or without delay.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Battalion Leader. Me and this young man did some nasty work. There is no delay. Don't worry, it's on schedule.... Thousand Early friends, Vagan's benefactor, you can't put a scratch in it.

Lurk your voice, I'll add.

You're a member of the Innocence Society!

Engineers are in the civil industry, too.

"No, a crew member at my place has caused you trouble.

He said, "It's okay! Look, don't go back to squad duty, Captain! Are there any injuries?

"Meadier Squad, no injuries.... I just fell and rubbed my palm off. Rest assured that the wound has been washed and treated.

Sarah knows too.

So that's what you decided?

"Woodmell Squad, no injuries! Mr. Hiro... not the battalion commander, sorry for the accident while you were away!

At times like this, the brightness of Semi really saves me.

If I pursue it any further, will I become a Saimi wound anyway?

"That's why I'm telling you, right? Battalion captain. Me and this mistake!

"Parent, no, Chief Engineer. If there are no injuries and there are no delays in construction, there are no mistakes or anything. The only thing my crew said was that they made some fuss. We will take care of this as a problem within the team.... Mr. Joe, for the truth, please pass it on.

"Hiro, you're an idiot. Honest. Hey. Isn't that where you ask for a mouthful? What do you want to ride?

"If you do that, you'll lose faith, won't you? Me and Mr. Joe.

"Don't you get caught?

"Gentlemen, the main unit will be staying in this camp tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, we will be staying at the new government building in Daghda Quasi-State, so there is no need for us to set up a camp. Our task tomorrow, therefore, is to scout and map. Take a small pause an hour's distance to the government building. In the meantime I come to see if there is any spiritual danger in the 'hills'. The command while away, as it is today, rests with you, Semi.

"I'll follow 'Hill', too. As a grading officer.... The truth is, I just want to climb.

"Okay, please. Mr. Joe."

"Yeah, yeah, and.

Joe, with his face up, was erasing his expression.

"Leo, shall I take you too? Semi, you wouldn't want to bother me, would you?
