Kuro no Senki

Episode 3: Office

Late March 432 of the Imperial Calendar...... you know, Kane was thinking about that, shaken by a boxcarriage.

Become a deputy from the farmer Xiaozhi.

That's an incredible event, but given that I've turned myself into a bandit twice, I feel like I'm living an unexplained life.

Whenever, the future betrays Kane's expectations.

When I was a mercenary, I thought they would kill me on the way to work one day, and when I was a bandit, I thought crusaders would kill me or drool me.

When I was a farmer, I should have thought about working and dying.

Well, I guess these guys are thinking the same thing, but Kane put his gaze around the two people riding the boxcarriage.

Sitting directly in front of Kane is Rona... a former mercenary of the Free City Nation group.

Age is thirty. It's the owner of a smart body line.

I don't have a crude atmosphere for being a mercenary, and I get the cold impression that one way or another.

According to the sitter, Rona seemed to be confused about unfamiliar work at first, but it was her first job to see it as unacceptable and impossible for the entire training period.

Westa sitting next to it is fleshy as opposed to Rona.

My hips and buttocks aren't, but my breasts are big anyway.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! My breasts are big enough to say.

Well, I won't tell you.

I'm not in the carriage, but two more... former luxury whores who worked in a whorehouse run by Elaine... are going to join.

The preparation of the documents would be left to Westa and Rona, while the two referred would be left to the reception.

After all, it's not a pattern, Kane stroked her jaw.

It's not the feel of a stinging beard that passes to your fingers, it's the feel of a twitch.

Kane noticed Westa was turning her gaze.

"Is there something on my face?

"You shaved your beard."

"It's not good for a boulder that a deputy grows an insensitive mustache, is it?

When Kane said as she scratched her neck, Westa laughed cously at what was fun.

"Dude, is that where you laugh?

"After all, as Elena said, I thought you were serious."

Her attitude softened a little, Kane said, poking her cheek wand.

Since then, Kane has been talking to Westa since she found time.

Genuine efforts have finally borne fruit.

The one thing I don't understand right now was Rona.

It doesn't seem like a quality to know, but Lorna doesn't try to relate to others and occasionally exhales deep sighs.

For Rona, I guess the condition of slavery is unacceptable.

Well, what are we gonna do, Kane stroked his jaw.

Kane is aware that his vessels are not as large as they depend on him, and that his sweetness, which he will not be able to throw away if he knows what the circumstances are.

So it's bad to step too far in.

It was my boss who passed the back of my brain... Chrono.

I don't think he's thinking that far.

In his case, he feels supported by his mistress.

No, I'm thinking about supporting you or something. Am I crazy? and Kane put his arms together.

It was Silva who greeted Kane when she arrived in Sylvania.

Silva bragged her chest with the deputy behind her back.

"Look, this is my greatest masterpiece... the agency"

"Mmm, isn't Mr. Silva's greatest masterpiece the harbor?

When Faye asked, Silva laughed all the time saying she'd listened.

"Every time I build one building, I make progress. Learn from old architecture and create new buildings. That's the architect."

"I see. It is."

That's normal for a masterpiece, Kane looked up to the deputy office.

The deputies were built on the eastern edge of Sylvania.

The grounds are large and there is room for all three, even though there are buildings.

One is three floors of brickwork, the second is two floors of brickwork as well... it's like I've seen somewhere, and this is long on the side.

The last one was the stables.

Why are you so far away? and Kane stared alternately at the deputy office and the harbor.

Sylvania is a town that is developing with ports as its starting point.

One day shops and homes should fill between the deputies and the harbour, but now vacant land is spread out.

"Hey, Faye. Why are you here?

"The office serves as a resting point for the cavalry."

"Ahhh, so long on the side"

I think I saw it somewhere by reason.

The horizontal building behind the deputies looks just like the cavalry quarters on the Marquis of Elakis.

"I would be grateful to have accommodation in Count Cado's territory"

"You don't have to bother the villagers."

Kane nodded at Faye's words.

Street security can span several days, when he was lodging in a village en route.

Of course, we talked ahead of time, and we were paying the price, but regardless of the farming idleness, bedding and meal preparation should have been a burden for the farming villages.

"... and now Captain Kane is the Lord of every castle in the land."

"I don't get paid as much as a castle."

Faye stared jealously at Kane.

Four monthly payroll coins...... they were going to be able to hoist the amount a little more, but Kane hit his hand with the first amount offered.

There is no use in hoisting the amount.

That is why we did not actively negotiate salaries.

"Still, it is"

That said, Faye lay her eyes down spicy.

I don't know how Faye feels. But I don't.

Even Kane no longer feels comfortable when he sees a close family, when he sees a peasant who sweats on his forehead and works in a field.

I envy and regret that others have what they have lost, what they want.

And I'm even disgusted with myself like that.

What words should I hang?

"Whoa, what are you talking about? Until a while ago, I was a hoofsmith, and you were a stables cleaner. That is now the Architect in the Lord's arms and the Commander of the Cavalry of the Kingsguard Knights. We've been here a long time."

"You're right, Mr. Silva. Don't forget the beginning, it is."

When Silva told him to teach, Faye looked up as if he had regained his mind.

When I was in the 12th Kingsguard Knights, Faye was the cleaner of the stables, so I'd say he was born.

"... no, well, you better forget your beginnings a little"

"Why is that?

"Well, because your beginnings are vivid. In general, if you're lucky, you can't rebuild your home in one go, right?

She was gazed at by Silva as she asked for her consent, and Kane laughed bitterly.

Rehabilitate the Mullifine family with a chrono child in a cage.

Now if we don't have a physical relationship with Chrono, we need to be belly black, but Chrono and Faye are close to men and women.

Without forgetting the beginning, Faye has achieved his original purpose.

She's a surprisingly brainless woman.

"Back then, I didn't know anything."

"I don't mind that, but don't shake it on me."

As Kane took control of the front desk and said, Faye leaned his neck strangely.

"No 'why', no 'why'. If you were a man, I'd talk to you. You're a woman. I don't care if a woman shakes that kind of topic."

……

Faye leaned down silently.

I think I'm going to hear a noise.

I feel a little sorry for you, but it's better than being shaken up about that.

"If it's okay with me, I'll talk to you, okay?

"I don't want to!

"Too bad."

Turning to a less unfortunate voice, Elaine stood smiling.

Two women are holding back behind Elaine.

Are they both in their late thirties or something?

One has red hair, the other has chestnut hair.

We both have blue and white skin and a little thick makeup.

Prejudice, maybe, but we're both normal faces for being fancy whores.

Rubbing off in the city won't impress you.

Out of the way, there may be more demand for faces that make you think you can reach them.

"The redhead is more Mary, and the chestnut hair is Kate. They both have an aristocratic upbringing and are good at cleaning, laundry and cooking. And then you can dance."

"... aristocratic"

Turning her gaze, Faye stared back at Kane with a decent face.

I felt it when I ate, but I wonder if Elaine overestimated the nobility.

Well, it seems likely that the nobility close to Kane is out of standard.

"Faye, are you good at dancing?

"I don't like it"

"How do you do that?

"I don't like it"

"Like study, what do you say?

"Lord Leila can do better."

"What are you good at?

"I'm good at swordsmanship and equestrianism"

This is the nobleman, Kane grabbed Faye's head and was driven by the urge to offer Elaine.

Of course, I don't intend to transfer it to execution.

"Mr. Kane!

Westa rode herself out of the deputy window and shouted, even cleaning.

"What's up?

"I am contacted by Master Chrono!

For a moment, Kane couldn't understand the meaning of the word, but soon remembered that ultra-long distance communication magic items were available.

Magic items for ultra-long distance communication connect the Marquis of Elakis with the Earl of Cado.

Correctly, the office of the Crono in the Marquis of Elakis and the deputy office of the Count of Cado.

There are multiple sets of communication magic items, each of which has transmission/reception and relay functions.

Chrono focused on the relay function… if we align the number of communication magic items and place them on a straight line, we can also communicate over long distances? I thought so.

"I'll be there in a minute!

Kane headed to the deputy office.

"Hello, can you hear me? Hello!

When Kane reached the second floor of the deputy office, the voice of Chrono was echoing from the sphere placed on the pedestal.

The second floor of the deputies...... so was the first floor, which combines reception and waiting room, but it was a killing landscape.

Except for the ultra-long distance communication magic item and the pedestal on which it is mounted, there is only about a desk and chair for three.

"You don't have to shout like that. I hear you."

"Good. Sounds like Magic Items is working. '

Chrono said as relieved.

Even though technological development and the creation of jobs through public utilities are also included in the objective, Chrono has invested heavily.

That would be trouble with boulders in 'Failed'.

I don't know about technology, but it's convenient, Kane thinks.

Because you don't have to bother running a horse to get in touch in an instant.

"How's it going over there?

"Elaine's here to greet the woman she hires in the deputy office. They called me right away, so I didn't tell them anything. With that said, I didn't hear you set up a barracks in the deputy office?

"... because I forgot to tell you"

"Well, I don't mind."

'Then there's another thing I forgot to tell you, I hired a new maid to work in the deputy office. The job is cleaning, laundry, cooking... well, he's a maid of honor.'

Well, Kane hammered appropriately.

Honestly, I have trouble reacting to what they say about hiring a new maid.

"You don't seem interested."

"I don't have to."

'I think Kane will like it, too. First of all... I'm in my mid-twenties, unmarried'

You mean there's something wrong with not being married in his mid twenties, Kane sat in a chair and put his legs together.

"Tall, big breasts."

Hmm, and Kane stroked his jaw.

It is the beauty of thin fortune that Kane imagined from Chrono's words.

"Hair is chestnut-colored, with crushed eyes......"

"Of crushed eyes?

"It's Minotaur."

"Minotaur!

Standing up, Kane screamed.

An imaginary light-hearted beauty turned prematurely into a minotaur in maid clothes.

"Is that statement racist?

"Chi!

'Well, who prefers it? Black-eyed, cool Mr. Lizako? Adorable and nostalgic, Mr. Warko?

"You're also obsessed with the Beast Man!

Flashing his arms, Kane screamed.

Sure, Lizardman has a black eye, but not if he says it's cool.

"The other day, listeners asked me if Master Krono's men had any beastly women."

"Who's the listener!

'... I'd like to do something radio in the future, what do you think?

"What's a radio? What radio?"

Chrono told me something unexplained, and Kane screamed, abandoning herself.

"Well, not to mention the joke......"

Are you kidding me?

'Oh, no, the last place is not a joke. I really want to be able to use ultra-long distance communication magic items even for civilians. "

"Isn't that hard? It's not like they can talk when we want to, and it's just the two of us on the edge with all this money and effort."

Could it be military? and Kane asked himself.

If we set it up at the border, we'll be able to communicate information faster and more accurately than wolf smoke when the enemy takes action.

In that sense, there seems to be a balance between the amount of investment and the effect.

'Uh-huh, why don't you write down what we talked about over here and keep it, even if you don't carry it like a letter?

It should be useful for military use, but Chrono doesn't seem to think that far.

Perhaps the process is missing because I understand the finished form.

"Evil or not."

'I don't seem very interested... well, no'

"Hey, I want to ask you one thing."

Kane stared at the transparent sphere placed on the pedestal,

"What do you do when you don't use it, this?

"Come on?"

Huh, and Kane sighed and put his hand on his forehead.

"Oh, come on, you mean the conversation's lost."

"You've become a tense workplace at once."

Not enough to make such a serious voice, I thought, but Kane didn't say anything.

I don't have a hobby for poking snakes when they might come out.

"Don't you dare wear a cloth?

'Then put it over there.' Cause I'm basically in the office until evening, and if I hear voices even at night, the maid will let me know. '

"Ooh."

Since there was no suitable cloth, Kane took off her jacket and put it on the pedestal.

Exhales from his nose, Kane sits in a chair.

"You're close, aren't you?"

"Not bad."

Raising her gaze, Rona stood.

When Kane poked her cheekstick, Rona looked down at first, thinking she was in a bad mood.

"I'm not mad at you. I was just ashamed they asked me that stupid conversation."

"Really?"

I don't seem convinced, but Rona seems to have appeased just a little.

"Did we look that close?

"Yes, he said he was a really close brother"

"... brother?

When Kane inquired, Rona opened her eyes to surprise.

"Isn't Lady Kane and Lady Chrono brothers?

"It must be a blood connection."

Kane ran out of words.

If I were Claude Crawford's real son, I might have had a blood connection about a drop, but Crono is a man from another world.

Chrono has no blood connection to anyone in this world.

"... he just said he was a half-brother"

"Isn't it unusual to be a good half-brother?

That said, Kane had a bitter laugh.

Though I also feel that there may be more close half-brothers than lords who can hold former bandits as deputies.

"Master Kane is amazing."

"No way. Precisely. Precisely."

Rona seemed to think Kane had been appointed deputy on merit, but Kane hasn't overestimated his strengths that much.

The strength of the armpits is considerable, as is the ability to be the leader of the mercenary regiment.

"Well... let's get this job done."

Kane got up slowly.

I said let's just get the job done... but the barracks and deputies are already loaded with supplies.

Unlike Westa and Rona, who have to sort out supplies and know where to store them, Kane never does much work.

"... you seem free"

"Well, yeah"

Spending no time in the garden of the deputies...... it's just an empty space surrounded by tripartites in the deputies, barracks and stables...... walking around, Faye called out to me.

Apparently, Faye has plenty of time, too.

"How about a match?

"You look tired when you're free."

"There are two wooden swords here."

Faye took the wooden sword that was standing against the barracks wall and threw it at Kane.

There was also an option not to take it, but Kane flew in a straight line. I grabbed that.

"... it's the first time you've fought Captain Kane, if you think about it"

"Well, I was avoiding it."

Faye distanced himself from Kane and slowly placed the wooden sword in the middle.

"Why is that?

"Whether you win or lose, you're gonna stink."

Mmm, and Faye pointed her lips dissatisfied.

"It is to go!

"Whoa!"

Though I tried to impress you, the first blow paralyzed your arm, and from there on ahead is on the defensive side.

Five times more than Faye's offense and whether he has one chance to fight back.

I don't know how many more times it's gonna be. The shock passes on Kane's arm.

Too fast to react in time.

Shit! Kane cursed in his heart.

For once, I see Faye's attack, but I can't react.

For this reason, Kane used the wooden sword as a shield... as an obstacle to inhibiting the attack.

I don't like it, and Kane can put his strength in his hand holding the wooden sword.

To live, I learned the art of fighting to avenge my family.

So what was made me understand was that there was a top up there, and Kane didn't have the talent to get over the wall.

Faye is strong.

Even when we met, Faye's technology outperformed Kane's.

technology completed at a high level and Kane felt, but Faye is still growing.

Does not respond to feints.

He also rushes to make sure Kane has the moves.

You'll clearly understand the difference in strength, but you won't even be alarmed.

Is this because you're dealing with Master Chrono? Chrono's attitude to change hands, change objects and manage to pick up wins deserves favor.

Well, if I were attached, I'd have another emotion.

Kane was tempted by Faye's attack.

You decided it was a chance, Faye launched an attack like a raging tao.

Faye's wooden sword plunders Kane's arms and shoulders.

Somehow, Kane distance herself from Faye and repeatedly breathed on her shoulders.

"Captain Kane is on the defensive side!

"That's good, man!

When I noticed, the twin elves...... had gathered bow cavalry and light cavalry.

Not subject to betting is at least salvation.

"Shut the fuck up for a second!

Faye set it up at the same time Kane finished yelling.

Whatever you need to set me up while I'm yelling at you... must be your chance.

Faye packs the distance and waves the wooden sword down.

Fast, but Kane's rolling spikes are just as fast.

It stopped where Faye's wooden sword touched Kane's forehead or not.

Likewise, Kane's wooden sword has stopped to touch or not touch Faye's neck.

"Phew, no, don't get tired of boulders."

"Mmm, is it an act?

Faye frowned in surprise as Kane exhaled heavily.

"It wasn't acting that was on the defensive side. It's acting like you breathed on your shoulders."

If it was a situation where you could expect your buddies to cover you, you could have focused on surpassing the offense, but unfortunately you can't win a game even if you're thoroughly defensive.

"Were you designed to strike while leaving room for the best blow?

"It's not that big of a deal."

It's one of the finest craftsmen to beat a superior opponent.

Speaking of petty workmanship, it boasts a considerable rate of success, but you won't have to explain it that far.

When Kane pulled the wooden sword, Faye also pulled the wooden sword to match it.

"So, which win?

"It's impossible to end a victory or defeat."

"Faye won. It's a draw without divine authority."

Don't let me tell you, Kane looked up.

"Mmm, is that right?

"Convince me. Well, it's hard to be overconfident."

It's not uncommon for a guy who was unbeaten in training to die in the first line lightly.

Faye's been through a real fight, so I think he'll be fine around here.

Evening… the white light of magic items illuminates the dining room of the barracks.

Kane, Westa and Rona surround the table… and the cavalry.

Why are you in the barracks, because there was no dining room in the deputy.

There may be other reasons why it is less annoying or more efficient to lay down a place of life in a barracks, but all the equipment that seems necessary for life is in the barracks.

No complaints, but Kane spooned the soup utensils.

It feels like country food, but it doesn't taste bad.

You'd be the best cook I've ever eaten.

'Does it fit your mouth?' (pupa?

"Oh, it's not bad."

It's delicious, isn't it?

"Not bad or anything."

"It's too considerate."

Aria... Sounds like Minot's sister, Crono's deputy... When Kane answered the question, Faye, Deneb and Aridead continued.

"So what do you guys think?

"It's like I'm just happy to have a warm meal!

"Fixed bread is delicious, but that's like it!

"Delicious, sturdy bread?

"Super delicious!

"Like the despair of eating up solid bread!

As Kane looked up and said, Deneb and Aridead rode themselves out and shouted.

"... just you guys, three meals of solidified bread, okay?

"Holy molestation!

"If you're a weak-minded kid, you're on the level of crying!

Apparently, Deneb and Aridead don't like three-meal solidified bread either.

He then appropriately enjoyed the conversation and Kane headed to his room in the barracks.

The next day, Kane woke up with the sound of a hard knock on the door.

Dear Kane! The voice you call belongs to Rona, and she seems in some kind of a hurry.

Thoughts were frivolous when she woke up, but Kane jumped out of bed and opened the door.

How hard I was knocking, when I opened the door, Rona jumped in.

Kane held Rona in reflexively.

"Dear Kane!

"There's got to be some time before work starts, right?

"That's... the Sylvanians want to say hello to Master Kane"

Saying as Kane bit down the absenteeism, Rona replied as she turned away.

"Can't you just let me go home?

"I think it's hard"

"Oh, you're right."

Enough to bother pushing me to say hello, so I can't honestly go home.

"Okay. Work with Westa to hand out the paper that wrote the numbers."

"In the order in which it came, is it?

"Exactly. I don't know if it's going to be a little rough, but I haven't been able to get this one ready yet, so I pushed it. You're not complaining strongly."

"Okay."

Dropping Lorna off, Kane stroked her jaw.

It won't be a good idea if you don't shave this one properly.

PM...... Kane kept her weight on the back of the couch and exhaled heavily.

I get a little anxiety about having a reception room in the deputy office, but now I appreciate the presence of the couch.

"Oh, taking a break?

"What about souvenirs?

Keeping his weight on his back, Kane glanced at Elaine, who came in without even knocking.

Elaine was dressed very plain to see if it was also by any standards.

"It's a handful. If you want a souvenir, I'll have it ready soon.

"I'm not here."

"Really?"

So Elaine sat on the couch opposite her.

"So, did you receive the souvenir?

"You're not going to take it. They probably know I'm not taking bribes."

"Even you knew you were coming to bribe me."

When Kane threw up, Elaine said as if she was stunned.

Without Elaine pointing it out, Kane expected the guys to be coming to bribe him.

However, I am a member of the XX Chamber of Commerce and my name is We were dealing with ▲ ▲...... please give us this one for the approaching mark, and if I repeat the same thing in the morning, I'm sick of it.

"About a little bit, don't you think?

I'm not thinking about it.

Kane woke up and scratched his head with gassi.

Experience has shown that corruption and poverty among officials become hotbeds of crime.

And it is not easy to restore deteriorated security.

"Really serious."

"In character."

"... I wonder if that child has anything to do with making you work seriously"

I told you sexually, Kane poisoned me in the heart.

But, well, Chrono owes me for saving my life.

Some brother-in-law took care of my job, and some burdens made me wipe my endless ass.

"You don't have anything big enough to say."
