Kuro no Senki

Lesson 5: The Sea Amendment

June 433 of the Imperial Calendar - Alan had hidden himself in the shadows of the rocks and clenched his groin. Vision is covered in earthen smoke and the impact is transmitted intermittently.

I want to get out of here as soon as possible, but I should hide myself in the shadows when there's an accident. I learned that in the past month.

Of course, there is absolutely no guarantee that I can protect myself. Even if you're hiding in the shadows, if you hit a crushed rock, it's over.

It's over if the injury gets worse, even if you're spared serious injuries. They can be pushed into a shack that is about to decay when they can no longer move.

And die. Instead of doctors, there's no bandages. I can't help anyone who helps in such a situation.

Even Alan, who has no learning, knows that.

"... fuck"

I keep thinking that you weren't supposed to come here. Alan was making a living picking up garbage in Imperial Capital.

Crawl around the market and pick up food, walk around the city and pick up rusty nails, etc. Sometimes I strip the dove because I can't live with that alone.

Dob stripping in the aristocracy's neighborhood earns money that, with luck, is not comparable to garbage collection, but competition is fierce.

Bowl with your rivals and you'll get into fights, and if you do poorly, you'll kill each other. Well, that's the same for garbage pickup.

Both tight and dirty jobs. I don't even get respect. If you fish for garbage, you strip the garbage worm, and if you strip the dob, you will be treated as a mite.

If you're a young man, they even stick you to a half-man rettel. Anyone who belongs to a criminal organization is more likely to be considered superior.

I want someone to respect me. I don't want to be called half-baked. It was from that thought that I participated in the construction of the temple.

In terms of results, it was a sweet idea. Income was more stable than garbage collection, but the hazards were unparalleled.

So I saw many people die or become imperfect in accidents. Still, I felt proud when the temple was finished.

But that mood didn't last long. The salary I earned for the construction of the temple quickly disappeared, and I picked up garbage... and went back to being a half-baker.

No, it's not accurate that I'm back. Waiting for Alan was a harsher day than before.

The construction of the temple was over and the city was overflowing with massive unemployment. Alan lost the fight and was driven further to the bottom.

That's when I heard you were looking for stone cutters in Baron Bowties territory. Pay was never high, but I was attracted to the fact that I guaranteed clothing and accommodation and even inexperienced people could apply.

Even in Imperial Capital, we know where to go. I thought it was my chance to get out of the bottom line and jumped at the story.

From there, we proceeded to a ton of clapping. The next day he left Teito in a front carriage, and ten days later he arrived in Baron Bowties territory.

I made a firm vow to get out of the bottom line watching the mountains stain the sunset. Though the oath was lost the moment I saw the abandoned house by the name of the quarters.

Accidents like today were frequent in the stone cliffs. The cause is obvious. There are no real craftsmen here.

Amateurs bring their scarce knowledge and cut out stones in trial and error. Sometimes we succeed, but sometimes we fail.

Every time we fail, the dead come out, and within repeating it, the transmission of knowledge is interrupted. We'll start over from scratch when that happens.

I don't know how many times I've done that.

"Fuck, fuck, how could you do this...... Huh!

That's when I mourned our misfortune, I realized someone was approaching me. At this time, what Alan held was not a relief for his companions being alive, but a fear of his life being threatened.

That someone will try to hide if they find a rock shade. The chance of hitting rock fragments increases if the two of us share the space.

Going past the back of my brain is about two people who died because they shared a rock shade. We both died in terrible pain.

I don't want to die like that. I'm sure someone who's getting close thinks so. If you find Alan in the shadows of the rocks, you must try to push him away.

Don't come over here, Alan squeezed the rock fragment. Despite praying not to come, one of them approaches.

"Don't come!

"Is anybody here?

When Alan screamed, the guy approached us.

"I told you not to come over here!

Alan threw rock fragments. The fragments of the rock proceeded in a straight line and hit the forehead of the man who had come with him from the Empire.

I guess I faced a sudden shock. A man only stopped moving for a moment, and Reaper didn't miss that gap.

A fragment of the flying rock pierced his head and the man fell like a thread had been cut. Blood spills and dyes the ground.

"... oh, I am"

Not bad, I scratched my head. I warned you. Yet the man approached me. Can't you help it if they throw rock fragments at you?

"... oh, shit, what's your name"

I scratch my head to see what this guy's name would have been.

"It was John, it was definitely John"

When I got in the front carriage, it was John who called out. I haven't spoken once since I got to Baron Bowties territory because the place of work is different.

John had a distracted look on his face when the rock fragments hit him. Maybe he wasn't thinking of pushing Alan away.

"Hih, hi...... heh!

The next moment I tried to scream, my vision shook loudly and Alan fell. And soon after I understood what had happened to me, my consciousness was interrupted.

Theon was sitting on a couch in the infirmary's office enjoying incense tea. The incense tea you drink when your job is over is exceptional.

That's what I think of myself, but Granet told me I smelled poor. I was also shocked when they said it smelled like baba, but I was also shocked when they said it smelled like poverty.

I said it back to the boulder, but it was further said and stuck in words. The tea set is a gift and the incense tea is a blend of its own.

Speaking of the smell of poverty, it may smell like poverty.

"... isn't that good?"

That's when I smashed into a small mess, the sound of knocking on the door sounded.

"Go ahead!"

"I'm home."

"Just now!

When Theon shouted, Granet and Plum came in. The two took their own cups and lowered their hips on the couch.

"It's tough going around the countryside."

"Mr. Granet, don't say that."

Plum poured incense tea into the cup and went in. The work of the clergyman who serves the Mother God, who makes loess and conducts abundance, does not end by passing on his knowledge and skills in agriculture.

This is the first time I've done my job to make sure my knowledge and skills are in place.

"How was it?

"It's not as bad this year as it was last year."

"But, but it's cold resistant wheat, so I think it'll do minimal damage."

"Right, I agree"

Scion nodded as he supported the cup with both hands.

"Is there anything else?

"... if you say so"

"What is it?

Suddenly, Granet stood up and bowed her head deeply.

"Mr. Granet! You lost your mind, didn't you?

"No, I'm not!

Granet stared at the pram and yelled.

"Dear Theon, Congratulations on your promotion!

"Oh, now I know why Mr. Granet bowed his head."

Pram turned his eyes, including contempt, to Granet.

"Um, how do you know?

Theon glanced at his desk with a flicker. The letter sent by the Temple headquarters said to stink the promotion, but we just arrived.

"I have friends everywhere."

Ha, and Scion nodded vaguely.

"I'm glad you recommended me as chief cleric."

"... I didn't decide to get promoted."

"I'm sure of a promotion. Successfully improved beet varieties, established new farming methods, new farming tools… I even got a thousand tooth treatments and a tang."

I haven't got Tang Yu. I just reported seeing these tools. That said, in principle, the temple will succeed in replication, as it is a simple substitute.

"The donations are expensive, and Master Krono has become the leader of the economic alliance. I'm temporarily going to have to promote Master Zion."

Ha, and Scion nodded vaguely again.

"Aren't you happy?

"... Um, I thought I'd say no"

"No!

Granet banged the table.

"Corner, not a chance I've been touring!

"But in my power..."

It's still all Chrono's power if you took the chance to get a promotion on your own. Don't you just feel uncomfortable getting promoted with it?

"The power of Lord Theon."

Granet stared at Zion and said. It was a serious attitude sometime. When I look into those eyes, I wonder if it might be my power.

"Dear Theon, don't peddle Mr. Granet's words. Mr. Granet is just after Shion's cauldron."

Granet made Plum's expression strong in his words.

"And, of course, that's not all. I think Master Zion should be born."

"Why not?

"... and I'm not going to be able to get married"

Granet groaned bossly, and Zion remembered the shock of being hit in the head with a blunt instrument. I feel even more shocked when I have my poor Plum gaze pointed at me.

"Oh, you know, it's not like I've decided I can't get married anymore..."

"How far is Master Chrono?

My heart beats. Granet said that...... do you know what Scion is doing in bed?

No, that can't be right. Theon's senses have sharpened since he was able to use Kamikaze again.

Even through the door, there is no such thing as detecting the signs of Granet. But maybe he understood what he was doing from something like leftover incense.

"Why, is it exclusive to Master Chrono?

"There is no man close to Master Theon but Master Chrono."

Asking in the guise of calmness, Granet said away as a matter of course. I find out my secret hasn't been discovered and stroke my inner chest down.

"So, how far is Master Chrono?

"... wherever they say"

I haven't gotten anywhere. Tomorrow, I promise to visit Sylvania, but Shaura and Elsa are with me.

"You should give up your marriage and choose to be born."

"Why would you say that?

"'Cause there's no progress with that Chrono-sama."

"... Huh!

Theon was stuck in words. Apart from Chrono, celibacy is hard for the rest of your life. Besides, I really don't think I can make it out in the Temple.

I mean, if you're smart enough to make it out, you're not selling beats in an outdoor store.

"What can I do?

"Love can't just wait."

Granet said in an attitude like an adult woman who split it between sour and sweet.

"If you don't approach from yourself, approach"

"… approach"

Theon shrugged back at the parrot.

"Love can't be passive. Now Master Zion is a herbivore...... rather, grass, grass"

"… grass"

If it is grass, it is likely that the herbivore will eat it, but is grass even poison grass?

"Oh, but I've approached..."

"How?

"I believe in destiny..."

"Ouch, it just hurt"

Granet blocked Zion's words and held his temples to allow him to suffer a headache.

"Is it that bad?

"You couldn't, could you?

"... Yes"

Granet asks me back and nods. Certainly Chrono was donning back then.

"But what do we do?

"It's easy. Look them in the eye, put your hands together in front of your chest, I love you. If you ask me to be your woman, I'll take one shot."

"... one shot"

Well, I didn't approach it that way.

"And then it's effective to touch and flicker."

"Can I do that?

"Hit it and smash it!

I feel like I shouldn't smash it, but I decided to shut up and listen to Granet.

As Chrono was working in the office, the sound of knocking on the door sounded. It was a knock that felt a little cluttered.

A while later the sitter opened the door and came in. My hair is sticking to my scalp and my clothes are yo-yo-yo.

In issuing permission to trade to a commercial coalition under Emperor Kai's direct jurisdiction, Krono dispatched Sitter and several of his men for pre-negotiation.

Given your position, you didn't have to go out this way. But I wanted to keep track of the air under Emperor Kai's command.

"Good job on your business trip. Corner, I'm sorry you're here, but you could have taken the day off, couldn't you?

"Thank you for your concern, yes. But I wanted to report it as soon as possible."

Sitter walked over with a handkerchief wiping his sweat and placed a bunch of paper on his desk.

There are two bundles of paper. I can tell from the paper that one book is a report, but I don't know the other. Take it in your hand, scroll through the pages with paralysis.

"... a roster of craftsmen"

"Exactly, yes"

The roster describes names and family structure, what craftsmen they are, what they specialize in, and what work they have done so far.

"This is over there?

"I told them that the artisans who responded to the invitation would be exempt from the rent and two years' worth of taxes, and that they wanted this number the next day…"

"Which means it wasn't Baroness Nam Corne's idea."

Well, if you take it for granted. It is mere fraud to use non-existent cards as a material for negotiations.

I don't care if you're a fraud, Baroness Nam Cornu named the representative of the Commercial Union.

"... there seems to be a hundred people"

"Yes, you're right"

Chrono smiled bitterly. I said it was plausible, but he was hitting it.

"Nah, you're scared there's going to be a back"

"You're right."

After all, Chrono looked up. Craftsmen… are not limited to craftsmen… they are indispensable in maintaining and developing their territory.

I'm trying to let it go. It's weirder not having a back.

"Of course, I was wondering if one of the factors was that the conditions offered by Master Krono were attractive to artisans, yes"

"Is that so fascinating?

I know it's quite a condition, but I don't think a proven craftsman will jump.

"Actually... there seems to be a whirlpool of dissatisfaction in Emperor Kai's direct jurisdiction."

"Disgruntled?"

"Yes, even if my arms were immature, I was smoking discontent about succeeding to the workshop, and my arms couldn't be independent enough, yes. The dissatisfaction with the fact that the commercial union is in control of the territory is also chilling."

I see, and Chrono nodded.

"I feel like I've been pushed to take good care of myself"

"So?"

"No, I'll accept the craftsman. It's good for us too."

Chrono leaned against the back of the chair.

"But you seem to have been treated well." Any good ideas?

"I thought I'd say that, and we talked about the security deposit."

"Security deposit?

"Yes, I will ask the commercial union to issue a deposit of ten gold coins per artisan"

"So you're convinced?

"When I told him that if there was no error in the contents of the roster, I would return it in two years, it didn't feel like reluctance, but you snorted, yes. Of course, they also tell the craftsmen to make sure they don't have a security deposit for themselves. What do you think?

"Yeah, I think that's a good idea."

Due to the operation of the sitter, the drinks dropped only slightly.

"By the way, did you pay enough to travel?

"We have received enough money, so we have made progress in gathering information"

"That's good"

Chrono stroked his chest down. Travel expenses include alcohol. According to my adoptive father, if you go to a liquor store or a whorehouse, the city's information will be gathered soon.

Elena said, 'Why do you even have to pay for alcohol and women!' I was angry, but I convinced him to submit the report on condition.

"Oh, I'm sorry I just got back"

"Please tell me what it is, yes"

I'm supposed to increase the number of clerks.

Ho, and Sitter opened his eyes to surprise.

"Ten people, two people thinking about turning to faculty."

"Accepted. I want to be a force of war by the time I pay taxes, yes. Are you sure you want to meet me tomorrow?

"There's already a rookie."

As Chrono rang his fingers with his pussy, the office door opened. It was Nege's deputy who opened the door.

"... would you like to call me?

"Redo"

Nege's deputy closed the door with his face closed as he was fed up. Ringing his finger again, Nege's deputy appeared neglected with a single knee poked along with the sound of Stadt.

"Ko, this one?

"Nin, jaaah!

"Ninja!"

When Chrono screamed, the sitter screamed like he was caught.

"She is one who has mastered magic of Oriental origin… i.e., a ninja"

"Are you a ninja? So, what's your name?

"Ninjas live in darkness..."

"I'm Klinge Hertz. And I'm going to live where the sun shines and die while my family nurses me."

Nege's deputy...... Klinge said blocking Chrono's mouth.

"Really?"

Yes, and Klinge nodded quietly.

"My background aside, I'm asking her to direct a mobile theater troupe, well, now I'm asking her to create a script. How's it going?

"We're fixing the hunting scene to a mild expression. Especially Mount Kathikachi... the scene where a raccoon slaughters his grandmother and turns it into a woman's juice is a complete cut"

"What?"

"The scene where the raccoon slaughters his grandmother and turns it into a woman's juice is a complete cut," he said.

Klinge said as he pressed up his glasses.

"That scene is just like the original!

"Rejected as originally written."

Krono screamed, but Klinge didn't get it together.

"I don't have enough respect for the original!

"What do you do if your child imitates you?

"What kind of child would you kill an old man and use him as a soup kit?!

"That's what children get."

"Sexual Malice, Kitaru!

"Master Chrono doesn't know what a child is. Children depend on education, angels and demons."

"It's not about laughing and saying!

Chrono burst into a gruesome grinning klinge.

"I'll fix the hunting scene for saying... In case they imitate it and make it a liability issue,"

"No, a ninja is a big deal"

Sitter said as impressed.

"Would you have understood?

"Make yourself at home."

Chrono said in a fed up mood.

"... then"

"Oh, wait a minute"

Call off the Klinge who tried to get out of the room.

"What is it?

"Actually, I have a gift for you"

Klinge opened her eyes to surprise.

"... If you're a ninja, this means"

"It's June."

As Chrono removed the black muffler from the drawer, Klinge frowned in surprise.

"When I say ninja, you're a muffler, right?

"... I'm not a ninja"

"Ninjah!"

Klinge was moving her mouth with a mogomogo, but screamed as Krono responded when she screamed.

"... well, I'll take what I can get"

Klinge took the muffler and wrapped it around her neck, blushing in embarrassment.

"Actually... we also have minisca sneak outfits"

……

As Chrono reached for the drawer, Klinge disappeared with the sound of shh.

"Has he escaped? Well, that's why you take care of them."

"But how do I make contact"

"Maybe I'll wait outside the room."

"Ha ha..."

Sitter nodded sighingly.

Two sounds echo in the garden of the Marquis Mansion. Khan, a hammering sound called Khan, a nail called Cancún.

Peeping into the workshop, the Dwarves seemed busy working. We work hard to produce crossbows and iron twigs.

"Dear Chrono, what can I do for you?

"I'm going to Sylvania tomorrow, so I'm here to see how much crossbow you've got."

"Thirty of them are finished."

"... thirty cars"

A month and a half after deciding to mass produce...... it would be a reasonable number considering the manpower being taken by the iron tsu.

"... I wish I could get a little more speed"

"The number of craftsmen is limited."

Goldie shrugged smugly.

"I can't believe I'm taking ten tomorrow."

"I see."

"Well, good to see you."

Beat Goldie on the shoulder and head to the stables. There Cecily, dressed in black military uniform, looked great in her arms and watched the stables build up.

"... what about Silva?

Looking around, Silva stared at the drawings quite far from Cecily. Or it also looks like he's hiding himself from irritating Cecily.

"What's going on?

"... I don't like that woman. I don't want to get involved if I can."

When Chrono hung up, Silva said in a whispering voice.

"Isn't it okay not to be so vigilant?

"I'm an architect. Before that, it was a hoofsmith, and before that, it was a masonry. I've had fights, but I've never fought bees"

"I know."

"Then you know what I mean. If that woman goes crazy and runs wild, I have no way to resist."

"I want you to share that feeling with Faye."

It would be a difference in combat ability. Faye is willing to return the favor. It's hard to stop her wanting to provoke her.

"For once, I'll call you back."

"I'm sorry."

As Chrono approached, Cecily shook her body in a vicious manner. I thought I'd just run away, but I bit my lips and stopped on the spot.

"... Cecily"

"I'm making a fool of myself to order twenty walrus horses when I say I can trade with the Hamals."

Cecily put her arms together and turned away pussy.

"No horse, no horse."

"If we're expanding the cavalry, shouldn't we order famous horses?

"Twenty normal horses over one famous horse."

Even regular horses are not cheap. Besides, we have to expand our cavalry, so we should prioritize numbers over quality.

"You know, Ceci..."

"Don't worry if it's educational policy. I'll try to stretch it out like a maid of honor."

Cecily blocked Chrono's words and told him to roll them up.

"Stretch with praise?

"What's that face? That's all I can do!

When Chrono looked up, he was angry, Cecily said, turning bright red.

"Well, education ho..."

"With that said, how about a new maid?

……

When Chrono stared silently, Cecily let her gaze wander with Kyoro Kyoro.

"Its blatant..."

"Shut up! I know as much as you are trying to humiliate me! Yes! Off-topic will only buy you time! Instead of humiliating the cat without imitating the rat!

Cecily bit her lips as she cried bright red in her face.

"I'm not trying to humiliate you today?

"I'm lying!

Affirmed. Apparently, Chrono is not trusted at all. Well, I can't help thinking about what's been going on.

Cecily has turned her gaze to Flirting and Chrono.

"... So, what can I do for you?

"I'm in the way of work, so I was hoping you'd go somewhere."

"Out of my way? Where am I in my way?

"Being?"

"Existence!"

As Chrono said with his neck tilted, Cecily opened her eyes as surprised.

"If Cecily sees me, I can't concentrate."

"Oh, I see."

Cecily said remorsefully and turned her heel back.

The next day, when Chrono went out into the garden with a box, the three...... Scion, Chaura and Elsa were waiting in front of the front carriage.

"Good morning, Master Chrono"

"" Good morning!

When Theon met, Shaura and Elsa saluted Chrono. Slightly crumbling salute, but the attitude is serious in itself.

Master Chrono, the crossbow is already loaded.

Goldie shows up from behind the front carriage.

"Good luck"

"The crossbow is in a special box."

When Chrono calls out, Goldie takes a big box out of the front carriage and opens the lid. And tilted the box so I could see it this way.

As a buffer material, or in the box, was laid dry straw.

"Thanks"

"No, this is my job, too."

Goldie closed the lid and put the box back in the front carriage.

"So, shall we go?

"Huh?"

When Chrono spoke, Elsa inquired. Mr. Elsa, and Shaura bash their arms.

"Something bothering you?

"In this carriage, is it?

"Yes, I am."

"... what about the boxcarriage?

Elsa stared at Chrono in the upper hand. Apparently, he wants to get in the box carriage. I would have prepared a boxcarriage if I knew that.

"I'm sorry, but be patient with the front carriage today"

"No, that's not why..."

Didn't you want to take the boxcarriage? and Chrono tilted his neck. Elsa glanced at the flicker and opened her mouth as she had decided to.

"Ki, aren't nobles something to ride in a fine carriage?

"I'm attached to this carriage."

When Chrono slapped him in the front, Elsa looked like a pigeon ate a bean cannon.

Let's go, then.

Come on, get in the front carriage and sit back in the free space. The next person on board is Theon.

Theon sat next to Chrono without getting lost.

"... you know?

"Duh, what's wrong?

When I call, I answer with a rubbed voice. I was very concerned about the slight glare in my eyes, but I don't pry.

I don't care if people ask me if I believe in destiny like I always do.

The front carriage slowly slowed down and stopped in front of the deputies.

"After all, my body hurts."

Chrono stretched out his body as he stepped down from the front carriage. Point your gaze at the chirali and the wheels. Although it strengthens the foot circumference, it is less comfortable to ride compared to automobiles.

"... I wish I could make tires, without rubber trees"

Goldie is developing rubber, but the development is not progressing as late. He repeatedly mixes soil with vegetable oil, tries to mix other plants, mixes ore, and heats mixed objects.

I don't have potatoes, and I wonder if I have to look for a new continent, and exhale small. Just thinking about what it takes to sail the outer ocean is going to break my heart.

How dare you, ancestor... of the original world... impress me that various technologies could be developed by hand exploration.

With that in mind, Schiff approached me with two men. One is a bearded man and the other is a red-haired young man.

"... waited"

"Oh, I've been waiting"

"They give you weapons. You should wait."

I grinned bitterly and removed the box with the crossbow from the front carriage.

"… this is the crossbow developed by Dwarf's Wonder Technology"

When I tried to kneel to open the lid, Schiff supported the box from the bottom.

"Making Master Chrono kneel is disgraceful"

"Thanks"

As he slid the lid and removed the crossbow, Schiff opened his eyes gently.

"It locks automatically when you hang your foot on the tip ring and pull the string. All you have to do is aim and pull the trigger."

"... is this the arrow?

A bunch of paper fell to the ground on the clap where Schiff took the bowgun arrow out of the box. The bearded man picked up a bunch of paper faster than Chrono bent himself over.

"... go ahead"

"Thank you"

Chrono received a bunch of paper from the bearded man and rolled it in pieces.

"Instructions."

Bunch of paper...... put the instructions back in the box. Well, even when I say instructions, it just says how to use them and how to maintain them.

"Even if we keep this?

"I brought ten, what do you think?

When Chrono inquired, Schiff silenced as he thought.

"I don't think ten would be a problem, but more than that would have a negative impact on residential sentiment. We don't want it."

"After the eleventh one, can I keep it at the deputy office?

"Oh, that's okay"

Hey, and when Schiff hung up, the bearded man and one of the others started unloading a box with a crossbow from the front carriage.

"... How are Lord Callis and Lord Luca?

"We're both fine. Callis started growing flowers in flower beds, and Luca..."

Chrono took his wallet out of his pocket.

"Is this Lord Luca?

"Yeah, embroidery or sewing sounds like a hobby. I had my wallet made. Now challenging curtains"

I would add it smaller, even if it were a smaller object. Then Schiff's mouth broke slightly.

That's not the dark grin that comes to mind when your measures go as you wish. It is such a grin that it leaked out of the blue.

Regardless of Callis, Luca has a bit of a thorny personality, so maybe she was worried.

Well, I don't know about ordering such a person to be a concubine.

"Can't we sell it as a traditional craft?

Schiff put his arms together to think he would give the box to the man with the beard.

"Not impossible, but there are a few problems. We have no weavers. Naturally, there are no sales channels."

Now it was Chrono's turn to think. The garment maker is in his men, but there are no weavers. I have to buy a cloth, but then I get a high percentage. I think we can use the Sinner Trading Union and the Pedestrian Trading Union when it comes to sales channels.

"Why don't we just collaborate with the 'Sinner Trade Union'?

"Kobo?

Schiff frowned in surprise.

"... I'm not sure what the word means, but it's possible if it means joining forces. But in that case, isn't it in Master Chrono's interest?

"I'll skip the details, but if the Sinner Trading Union makes money, my nose will be moisturized."

If there is a problem, it is in that we have to negotiate with Elaine to secure the interests of the tribal coalitions.

"... right"

"Well, think about it."

Oh, and Schiff nodded, that's when the deputy door opened. It was Kane who came out.

"Hey, you're home early."

"It's on schedule."

"Really?

Kane scratched her head so she could tobo.

"What are you going to do after this?

"I'm going to Pioneering Village, what can I do for you?

When Chrono asked, Kane gave the bat a bad looking look.

"Elaine wants to see you."

"I had something to tell you, too."

When Chrono saw the front carriage, Theon embarked on himself.

"I'm sorry, go ahead... ahhh, it might take a long time"

"Okay. Leave the inspection to me."

Theon slapped himself gently in the chest.

"I'm sorry, Shaura"

"Oh, don't worry!

Shaura stretched her spine and said in an up-rubbed voice.

"Mr. Theon, all you have to do is... and before that"

Chrono took the box out of the front carriage. I didn't make a betrayal mistake of being heavily mistaken for a crossbow.

"What is that?

"Is it the future?

Theon looked kyotoned.

"Please go to Pioneering Village!

As Chrono raised his voice, the front carriage slowly began to move.

Elaine was sitting on the couch as Chrono was led into the deputy reception room by Kane. Dressed like a clerk, stretching his spine is full of clear charm.

But don't be alarmed. It's well poisoned, even if it looks clear.

"Long time no see."

"Well, I was going to the Imperial City."

Chrono placed the box at the table and sat on the couch.

"Can I get back to work?

"Please stay here!

"Oh, wow."

As Chrono raised his voice, Kane closed the door and leaned against the nearby wall.

"So, what can I do for you?

"I'll tell you straight in. I want you to use a magic item for super long distance communications."

I didn't think it was an unexpected offer. Instead, it seems more strange that you haven't cut it out before.

"Why?"

"It's decided because it seems convenient. Unlike the major players, we don't have talent, so we're asked for instructions. I have to run my horse around every time. I'm not gonna like it."

Elaine said like she was sick of it. Apart from being genuine, it will be true that the development of human resources has not kept pace with the growth speed of the organization.

"It's good to use super long distance communication magic items, but listen to me please...... why do you look so disgusted?

"... because I don't like it."

Elaine looked disgusting from the bottom of her heart.

"I'm not going to do you that unscrupulous a favor?

"Sure, you're making me money, but the other chambers of commerce will be following you soon. I wish I could smoke some sweeter juice."

That said, Elaine scratched up her hair.

"So, what's every favor?

"You want me to pay the royalties. One month gold coin hiccup..."

"I can't have a hundred pieces of gold. Exquisite, ten gold coins."

They negotiated a price cut before I ran out. And all of a sudden it's not worth a tenth.

But there's something I need you to do, too. Concessions will be necessary to continue friendly relations.

"... I get it."

"I'm glad you're honest with me."

"Whoa, are you okay?

When Elaine smiled happily, Kane broke in.

"What do you mean, okay?

"Ultra-long distance communication magic items can't be used without being in front of the device, can they? What are we gonna do when one of us isn't here?

Oh, and Chrono understood what Kane was trying to say. What to do when the recipient is not in front of the terminal?

I can even make soldiers and servants go get them, but as a chrono, I don't want to get more extra work.

"You just have to wait all the time."

"In the office?

"You can create a room dedicated to your device."

When Kane asked, Elaine said in a tone that just didn't say what was easy.

"But wouldn't anyone else ask me that?

"Are you going to lend it to other chambers of commerce?

"Well, you can't just treat Mr. Elaine, can you?

What, and Elaine groaned.

"It's a good idea to have a room dedicated to your device."

"But someone else will ask you?

"You should also have a waiting room. If you name the Chamber of Commerce, you can go get a soldier or a servant waiting for you."

I see, and Chrono nodded. That way we can communicate in a timely manner. Well, I have to get a waiter instead.

"Wouldn't you like to impersonate me or something?

"If you decide on the code, you'll be fine."

Oh, and leaks an exclamation. It's Kane, the boulder. Coding...... if you decide on a fitting word, the chances of it being abused are GOOD diminished.

"... as operating like that for ultra-long distance communication magic items"

Beautiful purse.

Elaine shrugged small as Chrono took her purse out of her pocket.

"This was made by our maid Luca,"

"Oh, the children of the tribal federations."

"Where are you getting this information from?

"A lot, a lot."

Kane went in, but Elaine teased him.

"So, what's wrong with this?

"I was wondering if you could sell it at the 'Sinner Trade Union'. Of course, so that their share will be at least 50% in the form of a return of profits to the tribal coalitions!

"You don't have to be so cautious. You don't imitate rows."

Elaine said as muddled, but Chrono is not as popular as believing her words like that.

"Kane, please be present when the contract is signed."

"I know a shiv around here."

Kane glanced lightly at her shoulder.

"Just two favors?

"There's one more thing."

"... chip"

Elaine struck her tongue abominably. I don't know how far it's an act, but when a beauty does that, it scratches me plain.

"... I wish I could sell this too."

Chrono pulled the box towards the center of the table and opened the lid.

"... what, this"

"The future."

Elaine looked at Chrono with the same eyes as even the bugs could see. They don't even understand the contents of the box to a talented woman like her.

Too bad. I'm so sorry. I've never been seen with an eye like a bug. It is unfortunate that you do not understand the future.

"The future?"

Interested, Kane peered into the box away from the wall. And he sighed deeper than any more.

"... the future is underwear."

"Oh, does this look like underwear to you?

Elaine fished the box in a provocative tone.

"On the string, racing... you can't hide anything. Just ask again, but does this really look like underwear?

"Don't mess with me."

Right, and Elaine leaned against the back of the couch.

"Are you telling me to sell this to me? Or do you want me to use it?

"... I was wondering if I could sell it"

Elaine sighed so deeply that there was no more.

"How do you sell it?

"It's... you're the only one who can give a couple a little mannery a new stimulation or something to look like this!

"Don't make a shiatsu, it's disgusting!

"Kane would know if he was a man too!

"Don't swing at me!

Kane raised a screaming voice as Chrono rode himself out and shouted.

"No, you'll see! Here's the thing, if you take your clothes off, with your jerky underwear... if you get your face blushed with shame, you're rolling!

"So don't shake it on me!

Kane even raised his screaming voice again.

"Won't you roll?

"I don't know how you feel, but please don't make fun of me."

Kane turned away at first sight.

"... you don't even know what it feels like"

"Oh, when did you two..."

When she perceived the sweet and sour atmosphere and looked forward, Elaine was looking at her underwear with a strange face. What she floats is the face of a cold merchant.

Apparently, the sensors that sense signs of Chrono's sweet and sour are broken.

"You can have your underwear, right?

"Go ahead, go ahead"

Chrono closed the lid and offered the box to Elaine.

"Your place is a fancy whorehouse, isn't it?

"Yes, but I will actively incorporate new ideas. Master Chrono, do you have any other interesting ideas?

That said, Elaine embarked on herself.

When I finished talking to Elaine and went outside, the yang was leaning heavily.

"... tired"

"Well, if only we could talk about it."

When Chrono got bogged down, Kane said in a tone that looked like he was exhausted.

"Very helpful."

Elaine rubbed through between Chrono and Kane, flipping with Kurli, gracefully giving a bowl of grace. It's a brilliant move as if you were dancing.

"I'm glad I could help."

I have shown my maniacal knowledge as requested, but I hope a certain number of customers will be able to secure it.

If I can't do that, Chrono will be the only maniac man in this world. At least that's what it seems from Kane and Elaine.

"Next time you come to the store, I'll serve you."

"I just appreciate the feeling"

If I get poorly served, they're going to grip my weakness.

"Really? Tell me if you change your mind."

Elaine walked away with a flickering hand.

"Looks like the guys who were on the inspection are back."

A ragged noise sounded and the front carriage stopped in front of the deputy office.

"I want to go to the ocean from now on, you think I'll make it?

"You can't take a sea bath."

"Well, it's the harbor."

Talking to Kane like that, Theon and the others got off the front carriage. Is something wrong, all three of us are not well.

"Welcome home, all three. Anything wrong?

"... it's not like something happened."

Theon said in a mosquito-like voice. Perhaps Shaura felt awkward reuniting with Dino.

It can't be a touching reunion. Still, Shaura wanted some kind of connection.

"... let's go see the ocean"

"Huh?"

"It's the sea, the sea. You planned that from the beginning, didn't you?

"Oh, you know, but..."

Chrono grabbed Sion and Shaura's hand and walked out.

The sun slowly sets on the horizon. The waves sparkle, shaping the path that stretches to the sun.

"... this is the sea"

"Ha, that's awesome."

Shaura was shrilled, Elsa said as impressed. Chrono let go of Shaura's hand and stroked his head with a eagle.

"... ah"

"It's hard to be cut off from home."

Chrono spinned his words as he remembered the original world. That said, there's no word that can save Shaura's heart, heal her wounds.

"I will strive to make my territory the home of Shaura..."

"... Lord Krono's territory is my home"

Shaura shrugged small and Chrono gently pressed his back. I didn't put so much effort into it, but I stepped on a dance.

"Come and look at the sea. However, not to go too far"

"Yes!"

Shaura replied well and ran out of Elsa's hand.

"Um, Master Chrono, uh, hands."

"Oh, sorry."

As Chrono let go of his hand, Theon stared into the sunset.

"... I can't, can I? It turned out just like Master Chrono was worried about."

"I think my feelings are separated."

It didn't end the way Zion had hoped, but he found that Pioneering Village couldn't be his home. Isn't that just the harvest?

"... thanks to Master Chrono"

Theon put his hands together in front of his chest.

"I've just been helped by Master Chrono."

"I don't think it's all the time."

It is helped by the operation of the Poverty Relief Hospital and the guidance of agriculture. Relationships that either side benefits unilaterally will not last.

"You've always helped me, and I don't think I should be in that relationship..."

Theon is mojimorous.

"... Since when, I've been thinking all about Master Chrono"

……

This was a confession, Krono said, putting his strength into his facial expressions. It would ruin a lot of things if we broke up in this situation.

"Oh, but not just because you help me, but the..."

Theon bowed in embarrassment and squeezed his robe.

Silence descends.

All I can hear is the tide and the seagull squealing.

How long have you been silent?

Theon turned to Chrono and opened his mouth as he had decided to.

"Shh, shh, shh! I loved you! You're cloning me!
