Hard Work Will Never Betray Me

Next day. Today is another day of cutting and machining in the morning, just as it was yesterday. In the afternoon, the construction work continues. The framework and a simple roof were completed yesterday, so today we will be building the floor, walls, and doors. If everything goes as planned, it should be completed by this evening, so I would say that things are going quite well. It’s not an all-night castle, but it’s pretty fast. This is the quality of the military, which has pursued efficiency to the limit.

The building we are working on will have a total of 18 rooms, with nine rooms facing each other across the hallway when it is completed. The room layout is still to be decided, but it will probably be separated by male and female. There will be wooden locks and bolts on the inside of the doors, so there will be no need to worry about security. Even though we will be eating and sleeping together, we still need some privacy. Especially since a complete stranger of the opposite sex could not sleep together, a private room was a must.

“Lily. You make the locks for the window frames and the door.”

Yes, master.”

At Marie’s order, Lily moves on to making small items. She is not as good as Mei, but she is quite handy, and she is good at machining such precision parts.

I was still doing a lot of cutting and processing using my magic power and magic sword. I’m learning the tricks of the trade, so my pace of processing is much faster than it was yesterday.

“All right, that’s enough wood for now. Let’s get to work on the floor boards and walls.”

I realized that we had a lot of wood. Since the pillars were no longer needed, there was a pile of wood that had been worked into a near-plank shape that could be used for the floor and walls. Unlike the simple ones of the present day, even the thin veneer-like pieces (not plywood, of course) that would make a proper roof were well made.

Each member of the group took a share of the work, laying the floor, attaching the walls, and putting the roof over the top. After a lunch break (today’s lunch was also excellent), the accommodation building was finally completed in the evening.

“It finally got completed ”

Even though it was a two-day rush job, everyone worked together to complete a very hard construction process. It was a very hard process, but we all worked together to complete it.

“The result is quite excellent for a first time. I think you can make it as an engineer in the army.”

The day after the building was completed. We were given individual practice in by Marie. Now it was my turn. I’m not using any “robe ” or “body enhancement” now, so I’m in my bare minimum state.

But as the strongest in the Empire, Marie is also quite skilled in the art of kumite. Of course, if I and Jet were to give it our all, we would be stronger, but her fighting style was very skillful. No matter how many powerful attacks I launched, she was always able to get the better of me by making full use of her skills.

　In fact, I have just fallen down after being caught by my right leg. I can see her, but I can’t react to her. I guess my body is not used to fighting like Marie’s yet.

　Incidentally, the Hokusho Bujin style of fighting is to be both soft and hard. I must eventually reach that state of mind. My father is still much more skilled in this area than I am, and I am reminded that he is not yet a “Hokusho” master.

　Well, it is like a high dan in martial arts. In kendo, if an old man who is a 7th or 8th dan fighter fights with a young man who is a 5th or 6th dan fighter, the younger fighter will probably win because their physical specs are so different. However, if you ask which one is more skilled in the martial arts, 10 out of 10 people would answer that it is the 8-dan master. There is still such a wall between Marie and my father and me.

If I could, I would like to preserve the overwhelming power of my rigidity and firepower while cultivating my skills as a judo practitioner. This kumite training reminded me that I am still a long way from where I wish to be.

“…. My legs still hurt!”

It was about two minutes later that my cramped leg recovered its energy. It seemed that I had not been hydrated enough.

“Really?”

　The engineers are required to have different skills and specialties from ordinary soldiers. The fact that we are as good as that is quite a compliment.

“Now that construction has been completed, you must immediately put in your belongings. From today on, you will be living here.”

“Yes, .”

　All of my, Lily’s, and Iris’s belongings are in our inventory, so we don’t have to move them, but the Schneider siblings had brought their backpacks with them. Even though they were only taking their bags with them, they would still need to move.

The assignment of the rooms was decided by Marie . On the right side are the women and on the left side are the men. But Eberhard. You will go to the far right side.

T”he women’s side?”

“Yes. And Lily next to her. This is the way it has to be because of the male/female ratio. You are engaged to be married, so it won’t bother you if your rooms are next to each other.”

Yes, master. I don’t have a problem with it.”

“I’m fine with it too, as long as Lily is fine with

I had already had the experience of living under the same roof with Lily many times before, and we had even taken a bath together. It’s just a little too much now that the rooms were next to each other.

　I’m sure I”ve taken a bath with May too, come to think of it, ……. Lily’s was, well, modest, but Mei’s was the bomb. And the only one I didn’t bathe with was Iris. Hmmm… ……

“I’ll remind you that any dishonorable behavior is not allowed during training. If you are found out, you will be punished.”

“I wouldn’t do such a thing with other people around!”

“Oh, Master!”

Lily is cute when she turns bright red and is embarrassed, but I don’t have the guts to do such a thing in an atmosphere where strangers are also present. Even if we had privacy, it would be embarrassing and humiliating if someone got the wrong idea about us.

“We will live a decent and moderate group life.”

To begin with, no matter if we are engaged It’s about the right age for both of us to be getting interested in such things (in my case, I’ve already been through it with Mei, ……), but we’re still underage. We are not old enough to be allowed to do such things under socially acceptable standards. It is not until one reaches the age of 15, the legal age of adulthood in this country, when such behavior becomes tacitly accepted.

So I have three years to go. That’s short.

I’m getting kind of excited at the thought of the ban on ( self-imposed)] behavior being accepted in three years. I’m not sure if the academy where I am enter in my 15th year is as lawless as the university in my previous life. ……　The school is a noble school, though love marriages do exist. The basic rule is arranged marriages or political marriages. In other words, it is difficult to be a non-rare person unless you have a very good reason to do so. …..

Oh, damn it!”

“What?　What happened to you?”

Don’t worry, Master. Hal, you know, sometimes he gets a little weird.”

“Only sometimes, really.”

The outside world is making a lot of noise, but this is a fight with the inner self. The former me, who ended my life as a person who was not satisfied with life, leaned over and whispered to me as Eberhard, “Explode your rear end! Explode!

But in this life, I’m surrounded by girls and am making steady progress on the road to becoming a “Rear Enrichment” person. I think it’s safe to say that I’ve conquered my former self. It’s Eberhard. Spring is just around the corner. ……

“Look, look, your right leg is getting loose!”

“I have a cramp in my leg!
