As expected, or perhaps it was a natural consequence, all of the girls had cleanly spent the three thousand hectares that I gave them.

I don't need to tell you who was the ringleader, right?

''The expenses associated with residing in the garrison's temporary quarters, including the cost of food for the cafeteria, I'll pay for that, but I didn't think I could pay for the rest...''

When I spoke to the girls in the meeting room about the upcoming support, I was asked a question by Mr. Kobayashi.

'Is that because the boys...well, I guess Takayama, but is that because Kokubu will pay for the compensation for the store that was burned?

'Yes, maybe if I just shove all the money I have in my pocket it will be enough, but I don't know how much they're going to charge me yet, so I can't give them any extra money.

But I wonder if that's something the government will pay for?

Of course not, if that's true.

'Then let the boys pay for that one and support the girls, as was the original policy.

Huh ... do you really think you can do that?

Ugh that's just what I'm saying.

I'm not responsible for all of the girls, but my mood is whispering, and I can't help but feel like I'm dealing with a blow-up stick.

'As Mr. Donovan told me this morning, we're not exactly welcome here. And yet, if we cause a ruckus like this and then don't make a proper apology or reparations, we can't really complain about being thrown out, can we please get rid of our naive ideas.......

Looking around at the faces of the girls gathered in the conference room, half of them look remorseful and the other half look like they're victims, wondering why they're.......

'Sure, we were summoned by Camilla even though we didn't want to be, but that's none of the people of Volzard's city, and whether we don't like it or not, we'll just have to live here until we get a way to go back to the world we came from.......'

Even if I try to connect words to make them understand the current situation, more than 30 percent of them seem to show an even more puzzled expression.

I really feel like I should just throw it all out and stop going home and live freely in Volzard.

'That's all I'm going to tell you, but do you have any questions?

'Um ... riding training ...'

Sakurai-san seemed to like riding so much, but I'm not sure it will live up to my expectations.

'Sorry, I'll try to negotiate that one myself, and I'll focus on the rescue mission for the rest of you.

'Okay I'm sorry I'm sorry...'

Since there are no more questions I guess I'll have to go.

I asked the Bumpy Sisters, Motomiya-san, and Sagara-san to follow me out of the conference room, and I immediately heard them complaining, but I covered my ears and ducked into the shadow world.

Next, I have to go to the guild and apologize to Donovan-san.

I can't afford to be a spoiled brat.

When I go to the guild, Donovan-san is working alone as usual, but the pile of papers on his desk seems to be higher than usual.

If not, it's probably for cleaning up after the brawl.

'I'm sorry...'

Kent....

"Yes, I'm sorry to have caused you any inconvenience.

''Hm ... you're certainly inconvenienced, but it's not your fault.''

'But ... it happened to the guys I brought in, and ...'

'You're taking too much of the blame for everything. I nailed you so much before the registration process, and you still caused a ruckus, you're ready for it...

No, I don't think they're ready for that, and, well, you know, I just don't want to let them go.

I asked, bowing my head so deeply that my forehead came to my knees.

''Hmm ... that depends on their attitude. In Volzard, at your age, you'll have the same responsibilities as an adult. You'll be able to judge whether wielding a weapon in the streets and unleashing magic is acceptable or not, to that extent.

Yes, I'm not saying they're innocent, and I hope that they will be dealt with strictly according to Volzard's laws, but if you can, please don't let them get away with it.

Once again, I bowed deeply and asked for help.

If they were to be expelled, they would have to look around for a place to stay when they could return to their home world.

We can't take Funayama back with us already, we can't afford to have any more people who can't return.

'Kent, you won't be able to tell me that Klaus-san's story is messed up.

Yes I'm aware of that, I'm sorry.

I'll consider it but don't expect it.

'Yes, thank you and I would also like to apologize to Klaus.

'Well, you can show up at the beginning of the week, Tuesday before noon. I should be in the guild at that time.

Yes, okay, I'll do that.

'Kent, tomorrow's Sabbath day you're going to do nothing but sleep with a cobolt in your arms, you're doing well enough, you understand.

'Yes ... yes ... yes ... excuse me.

I hurriedly fled into the shadows as I was about to cry unbearably at Donovan-san's words, which were so curt but thoughtful.

Mart, Milt, and Moult came up to me, wagging their tails and wagging their tails, as if they had heard me talking to Mr. Donovan.

'Master, will you be with us all tomorrow?'

Can you hold her?

Stroke me. Stroke me a lot!

'Yeah, why don't we just relax tomorrow?

'Wow! Nonchalant, nonchalant!

My whispered mind calms down as I watch the Marts running around me in circles.

All that's left to do is take care of the chairman, and today's quota is over.

Tomorrow, as Donovan says, let's mooch off the malts and go to sleep.

I shadowed over to Rastock and met up with Fred and Basten.

"Master Kent you need to rest now...

'Yes, I don't think Master Kent will suffer any more because of them.

''Yes, but the chairman of the committee has nothing to do with the ruckus, and he's working hard over here...''

Normally, I'd be waiting for Erna to leave while I peeked at the chairman, but tonight I decided to let Fred watch and wait until it was time to mop up the marts.

The three cows come up around me as I sit down and rub their bodies against me, telling me to hurry up and pet them.

Even though it's the result of my own imagination, the exquisite mofo feeling is soothing.

''Kent-sama the caretaker has left........''

All right, you guys wait right here and...

Leaving Marto and the others in the shadow world, I enter the chairman's room.

'Good evening ... Yuka.

'Kenjin...? What's going on?

What ... why?

You sound like you're tired as hell...

No. This isn't the way to take care of the chairman of the committee, is it?

'Yeah, actually...'

I didn't have the confidence to continue to deny and misrepresent the chairman's concerns, so I told him about the brawl.

'I can't believe it! You're an idiot!

"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention...

'No!  ...

The chairperson hugs me tightly and cries for me.

I also put my arms around the chairperson's back and hug her back.

''Thank you.......thank you, Yuka.

I'm sorry, I left it up to Kento alone...

No, I'm not alone, I have a lot of strong, loyal family members.

Your family...?

I told the chairman of the committee about Reinhardt and the other tribesmen.

'I'll always have someone with me, and I'll be fine.

Always... now?

Yes, Basten, Mart, Milt, Murt, come out.

Yes....

The titanium-colored skeleton that came out of the shadows gave a snappy knight's salute, and Malt and the others turned envious glances at the commissioner who was hugging me.

''Ka, cute........''

I know, right?

Come on. Can I touch it?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Fluffy....

The chairman of the committee began to walk with a wobbly gait and walked straight up to Basten.

'That way!'

Yeah? Because it's so pretty, wow, this is something metallic, isn't it?

Basten seems puzzled by being called pretty.

'Basten was a troop leader in the Order, and he's a master spearman. I enhanced it to resemble sandblasted titanium.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!

Yeah, I have no idea what the standard of cuteness is for the chairman of the committee looking at Basten with his sparkling eyes.

'Master, is it your master's turn to have this female?'

Yeah, well, I'm not on duty yet, but, you know, I'm a very important person.

Ummm... so you're our rival?

Hmmm, he's just as important as everyone else.

Wow, so you're one of them.

Even the Marts, who had been a little wary of him until then, seem to have accepted the chairman of the committee, wagging their tails loosely.

''Kent-sama, this is, shall we say, a bit embarrassing.......''

"Yeah, sorry Basten, just bear with me a little longer.

The chairman looks at Basten from the top of his head to his toes as he licks him from the top of his head to his toes.

'Hey, hey Kento, why doesn't Basten-san fall apart?'

'Ummm ... because you're a skeleton? Did something magical act on you?

'Awesome....hey Kento, are you strong, Basten-san?'

Oh my God, are you in another dimension? Maybe even if all the knights here hung on, we'd be no match for them.

What... what?

Suddenly, the chairman of the committee turned around and stared at me.

'Hey Kento, what are the knights here going to do when they rescue us? Are you going to kill him?

No, we just put him to sleep with a pill.

'Huh ... good, I was afraid you'd say you were going to kill us all.

If you kill a knight, there will be no one left to protect the city.

The chairman nodded broadly when I told him that the demon forest has been revitalized since the mass outbreak of the rock ogre, and that if the demons came across the river, only knights would be there to protect the city if they came in, the chairman nodded broadly.

''Now that we've increased our subordinates, we don't have to rely on everyone we've rescued, so we're going to rescue everyone here in about another week or so.

Kento, where are the teachers?

Don't worry, I know where he is and I'll get you out of there in one piece.

Good. Kenjin's good.

The chairman left Basten's place and gave him another gentle hug.

'I'll let you know when we have a detailed plan and a date to execute it.

'All right, I'll tell everyone not to give up hope and to be prepared to run away at any time.

But don't let the Riesenburgers know you're there.

Yeah, I'll be careful...

The chairman gently closes his eyes and rests his head on my shoulder.

''Kent-sama the caretaker will be back........''

'Yuka, Erna's back, I'm going to go........

Yeah, I'll be waiting for you...

I untied my arms around the chairperson's back and dove into the shadows with Basten and the others.

Spending time with the chairman for a short period of time has brought my rough and tumble mind back to normal.

I have a reassuring family member following me around, and I have the Chairman and Manon, so I don't have time to look down.

When I returned to Volzard, the boarding house was already asleep.

Amanda-san might have heard about the commotion and got worried, so I'll have to apologize tomorrow morning.

''Welcome back, Master Kent, Lord Amanda was worried about you.''

"I knew it. I'll explain it all tomorrow.

"It would be better for you.

"Yes, I'm tired indeed today...

"There's absolutely no need to extend a hand to those idiots.

'Yeah, I'm really starting to run out of patience now, so I'm not going to give you any more help.

That's good, because tomorrow is your day of rest, and you should get some rest.

"Yes, I will...

When I dive into the bed in the small boarding house, the bedding is indeed cold.

Yes, I need a hot water bottle here.

''Mart, come on........''

"Wufu...

I fall asleep with Malt in my arms as he comes out of the futon.

It's mofo, and I guess it's the image of the reinforcement that keeps me warm.

Starting tomorrow, we'll mofo with a rotation of Malt, Milt, and Murt.

But I'm not so sure about summer... hey.

I woke up the next morning before Reinhardt woke me up because I was having trouble sleeping.

I'm on a small bed, sandwiched between Mart and Murt, with Milt curled up at my feet.

Yeah, I made the mistake of not explaining that it was my turn.

It's still a little early, but let's get up.

''Hmmm ... yeah, guys, thanks for that, once you're back in the shadows.

Wufu, pet him, master.

"Okay, okay, I'll give you a big pat later.

I put Malt and the others back in the shadows and suddenly checked the bed, and yes, no hair has fallen out.

This is the ideal pet, in a way.

He can speak, he's strong, he's strong, he's fast, he's fuzzy, he's got nothing to say.

When I walk out of the room, Amanda is already starting to prepare, and a good smell rises from downstairs.

'Good morning, Amanda,'

Oh, Kent, you sure you're okay?

'I'm sorry, sir, but I'm afraid my classmates have caused a stir and I'm not very happy about it.

So you didn't get hurt, huh?

Yes, I was somewhere else, so I didn't come back until after the riot.

Huh well, that's a relief to hear.

Amanda-san seemed truly relieved, and I'm really sorry to have caused her so much worry.

''Um....Amanda-san, is there quite a bit of talk about it?

The situation doesn't look good when I see Amanda's expression cloud over as soon as I ask her about it.

'It's not unusual if it's just a fistfight, and everyone knows their limits in their own way.

Yes, Mr. Kurtz told me.

The fact that you wielded a weapon and... well, it's still good because it looks like they took it away from you and hurt you in reverse.

Oh you're a shoemaker, aren't you?

Yes, it's a bit unacceptable to use magic in the city that could cause trouble and damage to those around you.

No wonder Camilla isn't disappointed at all when she thinks Takayama is dead.

It's not a blade for a crazy person, but I don't know why Takayama had such powerful magical qualities dwelling in him, I can only think it's God's harassment.

''Huh........that idiot, what are you really doing, I told you not to cause trouble like that.......''

'Well, I don't think anyone is going to tell Kent to get out, but you'd better expect to be pretty winded about the rest of them.

Huh ... right?

I told all the girls yesterday that it would be hard to help them any more, but in a situation where it might be difficult to find a job if they are not good enough, they might have no choice but to continue helping.

'But come on, Kent hasn't done anything wrong, has he? Isn't it odd that Kent would apologize?

''Yes, Meisa, I know, but I was the one who brought those people who caused a ruckus yesterday to Volzard, so I'm still responsible for them.

But Kent saved the city, didn't he?

Yes, but it was Reinhardt and his team that protected the city and...

But if Kent hadn't come to Volzard, Reinhardt's uncles wouldn't have come to Volzard either, would they?

'Yeah, well, that's what it is,'

'You're crazy! It's absolutely ridiculous that Kent would apologize!

When I saw that Meisa was pouting and angry with me on the ground, I felt tears spill out of my eyes again.

'Don't worry, we know exactly what Kent is doing, we know he's doing his best...'

Meline also gave me a squeaky hug.

'Come on, now, we'll have breakfast, we're open for business as usual today!

I have a lot of people who care about me and support me when bad and unpleasant things happen to me, even if it breaks my heart.

So I have to do my best.

If the relationship has broken down or the emotions have deteriorated, then we can repair and rebuild it.

We're not dead and there are still ways to start over, so don't give up.

Eat a good breakfast and get on with your day.
