Virtuous Old Man, SSS-Rank is Confirmed in Your Next Life

"Speaking of which,"

I remember. That said, Eliza, with her arms around her, has looked up at me.

"What's going on?

"I wanted to hear about the fairy sword. Was it really there? It."

"The Sword of the Wise had no knowledge of it?

Question returned to question because Eliza is even a smart girl.

I know that I have the Sword of the Wise - the Stone of the Wise, which encloses all knowledge.

And directly to Eliza, even more "existed?" She instantly understood that the way she heard meant she did not gain knowledge from the Sword of the Wise.

"Yeah, the national treasure of the empire, all I could tell was"

"Oh well. Actually, I'm not sure either, am I? I wonder if it really happened. Anyway, it was gone when Hubert I."

"Before that, for example, in the literature?

"I didn't. Just."

"Just?"

"All I have left to say is that Alexander Carlisle is involved"

"Me?

After a while, Elizabeth snapped.

"No, no, there's another one, right? Alexander Carlisle."

"... ahhh"

I slapped my hand with Pong.

I haven't heard that story in over a decade.

Shortly after I was reborn, my father gave me a name.

He named me Alexander, the ancestor of the Carlisle family, who was said to have made him brave.

I remember hearing it clearly from the beginning because I was reborn.

I totally forgot.

"It's no longer what history books say you are Alexander Carlisle. Alexander II."

"Oh well... was my ancestor involved? How did you get involved?

"I don't know that either"

"I see. Maybe I should have kept my sage sword."

"Want to fly away and get it?

"Hmm."

I thought about it a little.

Somehow, it's kind of level though.

That's what I've heard. Eliza sounded like she was secretly saying, "Don't go."

It is a subtle change in the tone of the voice, also because the arms you are putting together have subtly gained strength.

Don't go, it's sweet.

I couldn't let her down like that.

"Let's keep going. Alexander Carlisle doesn't change that much, whether you know it or not."

"Yes."

Eliza stuck to me even more than she did, but happily.

Keep going further, no fatigue, but dare to rest on the road, then go further.

When the sun came just above us, it came to a place like along the coast.

"The sea, huh?"

"Yeah, the river."

"River?"

"Yes, the Gron River. If we cross over here, we'll be within Bradford's boundaries."

"Oh, is this the Gron River"

The Great River, the Gron River, separates the imperially dominated continent from north to south.

Bordered by this river, the north and south of the empire change the landscape and the lives of the people.

I've known about the Gron River since my last life, but I've never actually been here before.

"Then we'll have to cross here."

"You know what? A little east of here, there's a ferry yard."

"Oh well. Then let's go there."

He nodded with Eliza, going east through the Gron River.

I walked about an hour and came to a place that looked like a crossing yard.

"Here, is it?

"Yeah, it should be."

Me and Eliza frowned and looked over like a crossing yard.

Eliza, who was in arms, left me at some point.

Apparently, although there are buildings and piers there, there is not a single ship at the heart.

Besides, there's no one here.

It's pretty much from the size of it... and it shouldn't be strange to have dozens of people...

"What the hell is going on?

"Hey Alec, over there!

I saw where Eliza pointed.

From one of the buildings came an old man with a crooked waist.

The old man looked over and freaked out for a moment, but was relieved immediately.

Looks like something happened.

"Yeah. Let's go"

I turned to the old man with Eliza.

"Hey, Grandpa, it's a crossing yard to cross over here to the other shore."

"You two, you want to cross over?"

"Yeah."

"That was a bad time. There are no more boats or handouts here."

"What happened?

"They took them all."

The old man sighs.

I sighed like I'd given up everything.

"They took me, where?

"I'm not a rebel. They needed a navy to fight the Empire, and they forced people to take ships and water from one end."

……

Eliza's eyebrows snapped.

I thought a little and asked the old man.

"What do you mean, all this crossing of the Gron River?

"Oh, that's not all. I hear they hit the countryside or something."

"Why the countryside?

Eliza asked how she liked to eat.

I felt a rush that included anger.

"It's farm tools. Even though we need iron for weapons, we collect farm tools and retrieve iron. I hear they're also taking young men who are about to become soldiers."

……

A blue muscle stood on Eliza's temple.

Her face turned bright red and she was trembling.

I missed the point.

"Is Grandpa okay?

"What, an old man like me is useless, and there's nothing I can take away from him. You can't just go home and live your breath down until the rebellion is over."

Word with a give up in it, but that makes sense too.

If Eliza would have listened to this - it wouldn't have fit in a bit.

Even after dropping off the old man who walked away when he said he was going back to his house, Eliza was still a mess and trembling.

Usually Eliza can get a little calm with the old man's last words, but now she's still trembling in anger.

Are you all right, Eliza?

"I can't believe you did this in such a terrible way."

"Yeah, but I was a little relieved to find out it was this"

"Are you relieved?

Eliza stared at me with a harsh face - nasty.

I stared back flatly at Eliza.

Not yet, not the usual Eliza.

Shouldn't you be pretending to be me and the couple?

As a regular Eliza, the Emperor, I can look over the big picture and judge things by reason, Eliza.

I stared at her as I called Eliza back.

Staring at me, Eliza frowned for a while, but suddenly, she breathed loudly, "Huh" as it was.

"Sorry, I was wondering"

"Yeah."

"Right, Alec is right. This kind of expropriation means that Bradford's kitchen situation is once upon a time."

"Yeah."

I nodded quietly.

I went back to my usual Eliza.

"Thank you, Alec"

"You're welcome."

"And... that's amazing. Alec is ashamed that he's lost himself now."

"That's not true."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Don't think the emperor who can be angry about that is the happiness of the people. You can always be angry when you're angry."

"... okay?

"Yeah, if I'm around, I'll pull you right back."

"Thanks...... yeah, I will"

After one deep breath, Eliza was back to her usual Eliza.
