Log Horizon

◆ Chapter1.01

"I think I made you wait."

"That's not true, my lord"

Siloe laughs calmly as she receives the Japanese umbrella from Akatsuki, who stretched her back a bit. Akiba, who was surrounded by soft silky thread-like rain, was experiencing rain showers while still moist air.

"I'm glad you didn't come down."

"Right. Because it's not a very good road."

Akatsuki and I, who look up several times, got out of a small research building at the Roderick Chamber of Commerce and started walking in a narrow alley.

Here recently, Akiba's back streets were undergoing more and more repaving. Even when fallen trees and scrap cars are decaying, they are removed, and soil and leaves are scratched out. Work is under way everywhere to dig back to the asphalt-like formations. Often compromised, gravel is laid down and then set up with bricks, tiles, etc.

Originally, it was an exercise that began concurrently with the opinion that conduits to the sewer were jammed and inconvenient. Not surprisingly, even a dozen tons of heavy goods can be transported at a high level. These works were also not led by a major guild that developed a dedicated heavy machine, but rather by a thin commercial guild with stores in the back streets, which proceeded as a snowy weekend operation. Because of this background, the narrow back streets are being maintained as "the home of my shop," but the boulevards were untouched.

Neither was the path they would pass, nor was there even a small puddle on the trail where the bricks were laid, but when they went out onto the boulevard, there was a thin puddle on the ground of black soil.

"Uh-huh."

Akatsuki jumps over it in a mild motion.

It's not like there's a puddle deep enough to be a problem.

The gentle rain just fell for a short time. I guess you didn't like your favorite braided boots getting dirty.

"That's gentle air," chuckled the cleverly half-rotated akatsuki on the slippery roots of a tree protruding from the ground.

"Right," he replies, nodding as well.

Speaking of rainy seasons, it's kind of like rain being dirty with chemicals, a siloe with a strong gray impression, but I guess that's what the urban air was making me feel. The rain since coming to Cerdesia even made me feel tender and merciful somewhere.

"How'd it go, the operation?"

"Um, pussy?

The reality is equal to no progress at all, but only a system of cooperation with the [Roderick Chamber of Commerce] could be established.

Initially, the plan talked about the need for a thirty-two metre parabona antenna and considerable power, but the policy was changed as a result of the ongoing investigation of the Fort of Calling (Shibuya Dungeon) that the equipment was likely to be able to be experimented with a four-metre parabona and a newly developed Yagi antenna.

Electronic circuits required for high-precision sensors are among the things that are currently likely to be a challenge for the plan. In something like Transistor Radio, it seems obvious but not good. That means that we shifted from the initial plan of needing funding in giant architecture in a direction that does not require much scale but requires technological innovation. With that in mind, it does not absolve the sleigh of three steps forward and two steps backward in the sense of communicating with the moon.

Siloe is already determined.

Bridge Earth and Cerdesia. I finished that statement.

So I don't mind that the business becomes a long shot, but it's a matter of siloe readiness, and there's nothing good about prolonging it to mischief.

Shiloe has a certain sense of crisis about current peace.

"Adventurers" certainly don't die, but that's just because the world provides that kind of service. There is no guarantee that the service will last forever. The catastrophe is not over, Roderick said.

If Siroe's thinking is correct, the current situation is extremely precarious.

As everything in the future is, it is a white page and there is freedom of writing. And it also meant that it was possible to fill it with malicious black ink. This peace cannot be overshadowed by the suspicion that there may be a time limit.

"My lord, you're going to be fine."

"Huh? Oh..."

If you noticed, there was a sea urchin right around the corner.

Since one of the "Fortress of Callings" cases, it seems like the escort girl has only calmed down a little and had a core. Sometimes more places to go and know each other than just after the (catastrophe), which was stunning to the Alliance House, and these days Siloe brings some surprising information.

It still is. When I looked at him, he nodded with a serious look.

Siloe still can't figure out what that means, but it's probably a "mission understanding" or a "confident" trick. Akatsuki saved you a lot, Shiloe thought. Add it to your mind's notebook. I have to thank you for something next time.

"Ah."

"... sorry"

There was an organization that passed by trying to hook up such a Akatsuki with luggage. I apologized, so neither Akatsuki nor Shiloe cared, but that look clouds me.

The group were "adventurers" who seemed to be everywhere in the six.

Put rain gear on the armor and leave early in the direction of Bridge All Ages. Probably going on a medium or long term adventure. Because Adventurers have Magic Bags (Magic Bags), you can't see the length of the journey in terms of the amount of luggage, but going out at this time after noon is what you do when you gather in the morning to prepare for the journey. It is normal to leave the city first thing in the morning if you want to take a day trip to the nearby area.

"I guess it's awkward"

"Maybe."

One line was a member of "Honesty".

I can see that from the coat crest.

"Exploring the Fairy Ring, after all."

"Yeah. I think I'm totally frustrated."

"Circle of Fairies" is the generic name for magical sites all over the world. Many look like stone circles in the woods or circularly planted wooden trees. In the centre there was a clear sway of space, like aquamarine, which was used as an instantaneous transfer device to distant and remote locations.

Where you can move from a certain Circle of Fairies was determined during the Elder Tail era by a complex timetable with added months. Adventurers often had the style of checking the destination information on the offensive site before traveling long distances.

After the Catastrophe, the Circle of Fairies has become a very dangerous means of travel for Adventurers who are no longer able to refer to the offensive site. If you just get instantly moved to a strange remote location. Still, because if you get "registered" to a destination for some trouble, even the Return Spell is no longer a guarantee of safety.

Thus the finalization of the "Fairy Wheel" timetable was an important issue for the "Adventurers" after the "Catastrophe". However, due to the number of Alliance members, the investigation failed due to the struggle of Honesty, who had undertaken the investigation mission.

"Honesty isn't so bad."

"That's, yeah. That's right. I don't have a voice to blame for that at the Roundtable."

The failure of the investigation is not the responsibility of Honesty.

It has become clear that we will probably not be able to succeed in this investigation at this time, no matter what major guilds.

It had been found at an early stage that, unlike before the Catastrophe, the "Fairy Wheel" timetable did not have a month and a time - that is, a month as a cycle (,,), but the long investigation to this point led to a tentative conclusion that the cycle was of at least six months' duration, and that some random element was added.

At least at the moment, it is only gambling to use the "Fairy Wheel" for the purpose of moving instantly to a destination. It's an outfit supported by an enormous amount of research that says it's almost impossible to predict where we're going.

This change, which is the result of a catastrophe, is not, of course, the responsibility of Honesty.

For a human like Siloe, "we cannot finalise periodic information at this stage" is one piece of information, and there is no good or evil in the results. Instead, I even think the investigation is a success in the sense that one conclusion was reached, which did not always seem to be the case for Akiba's general 'adventurers'.

"Honesty" is a big guild, and it is true that a large budget was flowing from the Round Table Conference when requesting a survey that draws on that large number of people. It is also true that the DIY spirit of the "Adventurers" who build stores, hunt, and even build streets with their own hands was flourishing, and that the investigation of the "Circle of Fairies" was almost the only ongoing utility undertaking of the "Roundtable Conference".

Because of this, some of the inhabitants of Akiba think that they are parasitic (leachers), who cannot achieve any results with a large budget.

The fact that "Honesti" actively swallowed up the "Adventurers" who lived in districts other than Akiba and their departure from the weak guild (Adventurers) and scaled them up also drove such an air between them and their residents.

Because their side perceives such an atmosphere, they often seem to flock uncomfortably all over the city or vice versa to intimidate them. The strong statements of the Guildmaster Eins of Honesty, which continue to grow in size, are also becoming more pronounced.

Not so much discomfort, but more trivial, discomfort like a different button hanging. The situation surrounding "Honesty" was changing that way.

"Mr. Marier's working hard, too."

"That's right."

I wanted to comfort Akatsuki, who softly dropped his shoulders, but there were no words to be spoken by Shiloe either. Instead, I couldn't say anything extra just to imagine the kitchen situation in Honesty.

On a rainy afternoon, the two walked over to the Alliance House.

Different people, like the two of them, each seem to have a way to go. Whether you go hunting, shopping, visiting someone, going home. That was a whisper but it must have been happy. Hopefully that time would continue, the two of them made a wish together without speaking up.

"My lord, it's kind of noisy."

"Really."

Going out onto the boulevard for a while, the "earthlings", who looked like knights, broke the people of Akiba the sight. Lead a black-painted carriage shining with enamel and head toward the square without uttering a word.

"Are you a nobleman of the Landlord?

"That's a carriage from the Cowen family in My Hama. My lord, the Duke of Sergiad, or someone inside you, is on board."

"Huh? Wow. Akatsuki, you got it."

Did Akatsuki feel better, and after that amazement of Shiloe, he strained his chest, heh.

"I wasn't sneaking up on Dada for my hama. I can remember about the crest with women's power."

Really? Really? Siroe was convinced. It certainly sounds familiar knowledge that nobility puts crests in carriages, belongings, etc. I guess it's like a family crest. But, because, why did the Cowens ask Akiba at this time of year? I don't think that information came to the Round Table Conference. Siloe tilted her neck.

Later on, I can see that this carriage belonged to a messenger destined to bring a new quest to Akiba. But Shiloe and Akatsuki, who were not gods, rather belonged to the blunt, returned to the guild house.

◆ Chapter1.02

Hough, sighing, Rainesia soaked her forehead sweat with a cotton handkerchief. This white apron appliqué is pocketed and convenient for keeping small items in it.

When the mica lizard picks the iron plate from the oven with thick cloth gloves (mittens), there is a beautiful alignment of breads with a whirlpool pattern. Dry apricots and dried grapes shine on the surface. At the behest of Micah Lizard, who lowered the iron plate on a large cooking platform, Rainesia leans on the tray with baked bread. Use tongs carefully. Although I can't say I'm used to it now, I self-admired myself for being much better than a month ago.

This is a culinary workshop rented out by Micah Lizard and is publicly one of the experimental facilities owned by the Roderick Chamber of Commerce. Micah lizards make a variety of sweets in this workshop four days a week and they are wholesale at Akiba's sales office.

Speaking of Rainesia, it is a part-time job every Wednesday in both its bakery and retailer.

"Yikes smell"

"Looks delicious"

Close your eyes and stretch your back. Next to the smelling mica lizard, Rainesia does the same trick with a triangular scarf. It has a rich (fuzzy) fragrance that calms the mind, characteristic of baked bread.

"Shea, get your sugar ready."

"Yes."

As an employee of the prestigious Micah Lizard Workshop, Rainesia pinned her spine and replied, she quickly removes the sugar from the shelf. What is needed in this case is neither flavorful brown sugar nor brilliant granulated sugar, but powdered sugar for confectionery. These delicate sugars are so expensive with delicate substitutes made of fine sieves. Perfect for decorating, resistant to melting, because it was made with a special method. Sift him with a shaver over the bread and he'll turn into a bouquet of fresh snow.

- It is, of course, the role of handing sachets of sugar to mica lizards, as Rainesia is not yet enough to be entrusted with it.

If the sugar hanging is over on the little stepping stone that the family of Mikakagu, the Ally of Summoning Arlaune, has pushed, then the rest is Rainesia's turn again.

Place a total of thirty pieces of bread in a paper vessel. Cut out into plate shapes about five centimetres in diameter, the paraffin shows Allie's face as an illustration one by one. "Micah Lizard Marked Baked Confectionery" is quite popular.

Once everything is individually packaged, put it on a large wooden basin. If you have experience working at a Japanese retailer, you would associate a wooden tray for in-store transport. Akiba is rich in wooden containers and furniture of this kind. Without having to bother to ask the Adventurer, the Artisans of the Earth will make it, and the quality is good. Even from the "earthlings", Akiba residents are well-paid customers.

"Can I?

"Leave it to me! Micah Lizard."

The firm Rainesia left the workshop with the tray firmly in place. Allie is not the only one. A "dry fruit dish" filled with this tray is today's third flight of bread, and Rainesia plans to deliver the bread to the "Eighth Mall" direct store (Suzuke Cafe) and continue to work as a waitress.

If that happens, it would seem like a continuous job, but it would be about two hours in the bakery, about two hours on the move, so it would be about a light part-time job.

"Aren't you in danger, Allie?

The two Rainesians take the sign-lined trail, noting that Allie, shaking well to the left and right but unexpectedly moving on at an early footing, is too far apart. In front of the Alliance Square the rain rises and the crowd is there. It's a big deal for Allie, who only has about a knee stretch in Rainesia, to follow the Adventurer.

The most worrisome concern is that this delivery work was originally carried out by Allie alone. On days of the week when Rainesia hasn't come to help, Micah Cage carries more and more sweets in the workshop, and Assistant Allie brings them to the store. Even now Allie was looking around a little ahead and a little bit, just so the worldless Rainesia wouldn't fall or bump, but that didn't seem to make sense to Rainesia.

Speaking of Rainesia, he considers heavily the task undertaken and carries the tray carefully with a serious look. Blouse, thick tie, apron and triangular scarf on a knee-length skirt. If you look only at her, she is the female student herself who turns her back on her part-time job, but Rainesia is a celebrity in this Akiba. The "Adventurers" on the streets are breathless so that they don't wind up and get in the way, and if they have to, put them in the help, but Rainesia herself didn't realize it.

When it comes to why Rainesia started working part-time, of course, there are various factors, but the biggest ones go back about a month. In the name of being on the way to participate in the Lords' Conference at the "Ancient Court of Eternal Ice", it was prompted by the stopping by Rainesian friends Appletta and Fevel at the "Hall of Water Maple".

They were the same generation as Rainesia, and certainly one or two were supposed to be younger, but they had the ring in their hands, a testament to their engagement.

I don't have the fact that I was shocked or jealous about it, but if you ask me if I couldn't get you to think about it, it would be a lie. As a Raynesian, he was uncommonly troubled, lost, consulted, and decided to start part-time as a result.

Rainesia's current public title will be "My Hama Consultant in Akiba". It is named Mai Hama, and the fact that the cost of living in Rainesia and the cost of operating the "Water Maple Hall" are out of the Mai Hama Duke family, but at the same time the Mai Hama Duke family is in the position of the Alliance of the Free Cities Eastal, so not only is it actually a mere advisor to Mai Hama territory, but all the consultation work of the Eastal Lords and the Eastal-based merchants [the Landlords] is Rainesia's job.

I want to sell something to Akiba.

I want to buy something from Akiba.

I want to learn something in Akiba.

I want to live in Akiba.

Such consultation is brought to Rainesia day and night. Today, Akiba is the heart of reform in East Yamato and acts like a heart. Not only are new technologies developed day and night, creating new products, but they are also major consumer destinations supported by the thriving purchasing appetite of Adventurers.

For this reason, there are many other business discussions, referral intermediaries and consultations that are brought to Rainesia.

Rainesia's current advisor is a rare title among the Eastal nobles.

For example, if you want to do business in Maihama, the person to whom you consult is a Maihama nobleman and bureaucrat, culminating in Lord Sergiad, depending on the size of the business and Conne. Reasonably, if you want to do business in Akiba, it would be best to consult the Round Table Conference.

But few (earthlings) have direct connections to the Adventurers, and there is a huge cultural separation between the two. Even "adventurers" like children crusade warcraft easily. If you piss off the Adventurer, the Earthlings have no choice. For this reason, the new mechanism of "advisors" who could be given advice in advance or referred to trusted trading partners was of greater value to the "earthlings" than to the "adventurers". More than the thought of Lord Sergiad, who had ordered Rainesia to take up his post, was what was required.

Demand also means business opportunities arise there. In fact, Rainesia's mediation and good offices were also sufficiently well established even if it took a commission. If a stingy civilian had obtained this position, he would have received enough commission - or mess - to set up a large mansion in My Hama over the past year.

But Rainesia was Rainesia no matter where she went, and she fulfilled her duty diligently for a year without coming up with such an idea. Elissa, the best samurai, said, "I can't believe that the princess of My Hama receives money from certain noblemen and merchants. It's an act without questioning fairness," so she could consciously reject it.

Either way, Rainesia was in a state where she didn't get a penny at all, even though she was actually working.

Born with the Princess of My Hama, President, to tell the truth, I had never even had a purse before, and all the dresses lived the life of an artisan in and out coming to the castle to measure and dedicate. I've never bought food or accessories myself. It was only natural to reach the castle after just pointing a finger at the castle town, such as a very rare shopping trip.

Even modestly, Rainesia was unknown to the public, and despite this, she learned the culture of the "Adventurer" as Special Envoy to Akiba, and then touched the news that friends of the same age were going to marry one after the other... upset.

When I think about my future, I see no bright prospects.

What was brought to Rainesia was the idea of a lovely professional lady (one career) told by Henrietta, a member of the "Three Days Alliance", and the idea of a craftsman to save the world (and hence banzai) told by the sisters of "Peachy Kiko" (Lucky Dice). As a result of those thoughts that penetrated after several pajama parties, Rainesia decided to start working part-time for pennies and future designs.

Chief Samurai (Elissa), who takes care of Rainesia, initially showed difficulty, but returned the palm of her hand lightly once a week when she found out that it worked for Rainesia to get up early. Nevertheless, we do not leave Rainesia alone, and now we do part-time work together. I was supposed to be waiting for Rainesia while I waitressed first at Suzuna Cafe.

So did the chief samurai (Elissa), but Rainesia's life changed slightly, but dramatically as a result. There are too many consultancy jobs to do as much as is required to devote a lot of time each day to work, and of course Rainesia wants to spend every day slowly and, if possible, in a world of naps and snacks.

Such an environment fooled the Leinesians in the direction of compressing the time consumed by aristocratic customs in the end. The life of a nobleman demands some form, elegance, and room.

Many aristocrats wake up early, but it's not that they have to wake up early and do something, but to relax for a cup of tea after they wake up and then get dressed, familiar, and even prepare for breakfast. As for Rainesia, I'd like to sleep for another hour as much as I do for early morning tea.

Unfortunately, I couldn't escape the habit of Early Morning Black Rose Tea, but I managed to reduce my dressing habits.

"Allie, I'm going to change my clothes myself."

Allie, a toddler walking her ass in front of Raynesia, looked up at Raynesia and dropped her gaze at the scarf ribbon on her chest and nodded.

There are many changes of nobility.

Even more so if it is a woman.

The common noble lady usually dresses four times a day. If you meet people more often for outings, tea parties, night clubs, etc., the number increases by five or six times. In aristocratic culture, clothing is an important tool for communicating will. It is a diplomatic means of expressing it with a combination of colors and a little trinket, what respect you have for the other person, what relationship you want. In addition, the time required for a single change of clothes will be considerable. The ornaments are managed with notebooks, and the costumes are strictly defined according to the season, the event, the person's identity and time. Akatsuki's face was also a shock to Rainesia when she told her that she had been taken for nearly six hours just to get dressed and look familiar every day.

Of course, such a culture is almost useless to the [adventurer].

The time taken to get dressed was also overwhelmingly shortened by the highly resistant Maihama samurai, who admitted that this Akiba was a special place to leave. "Adventurer" style costumes can even be worn by Rainesia alone. It is the best costume that is light, warm, moveable, dirt resistant and wrinkle resistant (hence easy to fall asleep if you let Rainesia tell you).

In that context, of course, it should not be forgotten that there were gifts from Akiba's "Sewers", who gained the material Rainesia to leap the idea, as well as plugging it into a major guild.

"Princess. Well!

Elissa is waving in front of the door of the Café.

"You don't have to panic so much, you don't get away with raisin dishes. Or is the customer waiting for you?

"No, I hope not. No doubt about it."

The confused Elissa is in a state of restlessness and gratuitous quotation: "I mean, you're coming, I need to get back soon" and so on.

"Calm down, Elissa"

"I'm not calm. Can this calm you down? Oh, you princess said that."

Elissa is never a lightly disturbed maid.

He's taken care of Rainesia from just a young age, more like a sister than a servant. In the first place, Rainesia is able to say that she is a single woman and that she will be stationed as a special envoy to Akiba, not only because she takes care of herself, but also because she has mastered the samurai squad and even arranges for the management and budget management of the hall.

If you think about it that way, you were probably more skilled than the Civilians at "Ash Himejo Castle" and "Castle Cinderella".

The way that Elissa was bluishing and pulling her lips together, even just lazy Rainesia couldn't help but realize that something was wrong.

"What the hell is going on?

"Princess, welcome back to the Water Maple Hall. Sarah, I see you. Oh, I can't believe you're out of My Hama!

Seeing Elissa look up to heaven, Rainesia suddenly wanted to lock herself up for about three days wearing a futon. This is the first time that Salaria (my mother) has come all the way from the castle to Akiba.

It will be more troublesome than Fanell (your father) than Sergiad (your grandfather). I just thought this chill was a teaser of trouble that would never come off.

◆ Chapter1.03

Sometimes Elissa has already put a no in the store owner, and the Rainesians just pulled it up to the "Water Maple Hall". She had received worrying thoughts directly from Karasin about everything, and was even worried the other way around about opening holes in her work.

Speaking of the lightness of "Adventurer" footwork (although that's what Rainesia tends to think these days, who started to be affected by it), you should go to the guest room quickly and meet her mother Salaria, who is already waiting.

But troublesome, but not more so than being a nobleman. If they were Akiba's "Adventurers," they couldn't get out of hand.

As a lazy girlfriend, Rainesia returns to her room as fast as she can, opening her closet, but falls on her way. I don't know for sure what I can do to be polite. An indoor dress was chosen at Elissa's arrangement, which caught up with her there, and she quickly changed her clothes.

The time was completely dusk when I put on a light, warm (Adventurer) specialty outfit and wore a light colored organzie of afternoon visitor-to-application to tie my hair back together.

In the rooms visited with a rash, my mother Salaria waited with a gentle grin.

"We're out of time, Mother"

"You seem healthy in this city. Rainesia. I'm delighted."

Greeting in a soft tone. From there, we move on to reporting on recent developments.

As for Rainesia, I'd like to skip such a foreground and get to the point, but I can't skip this because it's also a nobleman-class conversation technique. Always be graceful and free of gaps, think about the other person's position and the relationship between the two, and let them be inclusive. That was the basic form of aristocratic socialization, let's hide what, it was my mother Salaria who educated Rainesia about it.

Nobles never raise their children themselves, especially the higher it is. It is common practice to lay down educational policies and leave them to nannies and tutors. The Duke of Mayhama family, according to what Rainesia hears, is still a lot more family. I had a family meal a few times a week. But that's within the framework of nobility, and I don't remember saying sweet or selfish things to Salaria in Rainesia's memory. It was against Elissa, who was somewhat of an educator instead of a nanny.

Salaria-Tureuarte-Cowen.

She is the eldest daughter of the current Duke of Sergiad of the Cowen family and mother of Rainesia.

I'm supposed to be thirty-six this year, but I look a lot younger than that. As for the girl, I hear that she was often seen above her age by her brilliance and calm, but my current mother probably caught up with that talent. Even from my daughter Rainesia, she was a beautiful woman with clear pity.

She was known as a talented woman from a young age and was nicknamed "Pearl of Eastal" by the people. He helped with the affairs of his father, Lord Sergiad, from the time he was still able to call himself a girl, and his diplomatic sense and political sense were particularly excellent. Lord Sergiad, or Raynesian grandfather, said he had spilled "if Salaria had been a man" on something at a young age.

Of course, women lords and so on were not recognized in the "Alliance of Free Cities Eastal", a noble society. Unlike today, when "catastrophe" created interaction with "adventurers", times were more demanding. Nor did my grandfather Sergiad try to force his daughter to take the position of being a female lord.

As a result, Salaria was to marry a youth Fennel, who was at the head of the water treatment project in Maihama, at a slightly later time as a noble child. He is the father of Rainesia.

Salaria, my mother, is the one who inherited most intensely the blood of Corwen, the Duke's house, where only four were born in Sergiad, or this Yamato, and now only two remain.

"Rainesia"

"Yes?"

Rainesia remembered such a mother's coming history (mostly the martial arts tradition of her young mother I asked Elissa) and remembered her fatigue. While my mother, I'm too competent to be in trouble. I want you to be comparable.

If you smile vaguely to deceive it, Salaria has obviously turned her suspicious gaze of inquiry. I guess I said, "Did you hear what I said? I guess that means". Rainesia also had a loving laugh against it.

Rainesia herself has only a feeling of deception, but its smile, which puts a small breath on its neck, is the expression "The buds of winter roses (stumps) that sink in fear of the future of the people" to the maidens and the "earthlings" of the "Hall of Water Maple".

When Salaria sighed as if she had given up, she seemed to have decided to change the direction of the story.

"The incident at the end of last year, the Lords' Meeting at the Ancient Court of Eternal Ice, was also discussed."

"Really...... The"

Raynesia, with a twitchy cold sweat, desperately gave a calm look by holding it down. Being calm, calm, or is the result of enough training to no longer unconsciously adopt such an attitude in the case of Rainesia. As long as we have the gaze of others without anything, our bodies will wear cats with conditional reflexes.

It is in a situation like this that we are grateful for such a physique.

Even if I'm cold sweating on the inside, only the expression and the tip of my mouth line up the unusual words according to courtesy. That's not true, though, when it comes to guaranteeing inner peace.

The incident at the end of the year, that is to say, a series of disturbances over the murderer Embert-Nelles, who made Akiba noisy.

In the midst of that incident, Rainesia stopped being the princess of the nobility as before, who kept meditating her eyes. At least I think so myself. As a friend of the maidens living in Akiba, I wanted to do what I could.

Rainesia is said to be an amateur princess of decorations, both politics and governance, and she is aware of it. I saw it when I started walking with care, but I'm still not sure I can tell you that that decision was the right one. I don't think I'll ever have the confidence like my grandfather or mother.

That's why I can't stop at my mother's words.

Anxiety is always overflowing.

"Don't worry. This city is the city of Adventurers. If the final decision has the support of the Adventurers, the Lords' Council will not condemn Rainesia."

"Yeah, the... Thank you."

So it was a saved thought in the words.

Instead of dispelling (plumping) the guilt of not being wrong, I was glad that my friends living in Akiba didn't bring any more trouble that the "earthlings" would start with so far.

"Looks like the Round Table Conference has been running a zone liberation campaign since then in various parts of Eastal. The direct impact is not significant, but if we can remove the disaster of the future, it will benefit Mayhama and the rest of the territory."

Salaria took a sip of black rose tea from a white magnetic tea bowl and told Leinesia that after crushing "Oh delicious".

Rainesia tries to remember how it went around there.

There was another hidden case that was going on behind the killer case. It is called the "Golden Case of Sacrifice" or the "Great Blackmail of Belly Black Glasses" among the maidens gathered at the "Hall of Water Maple". Rainesia had no idea why she was being called such a disgraceful way, but given that her friend, Akatsuki, was proudly chested, she may not be called to belong to notoriety among the 'adventurers'.

Anyway, throughout the incident, the Roundtable Conference was able to "Cool Off" (Cool Off) various parts of Yamato. The full story is not yet clear to Rainesia, nor to the majority of Akiba's "Adventurers," but I hear that the Round Table Conference has thereby eased the financial burden and prevented much of Yamato's earth from being controlled by the "Adventurers".

The decisions taken by Rainesia and the Round Table Conference have left the city of Akiba without a protective community. The source of satellite power, the Magic Supply, has been cut off from the Movable Armor, and the city's defenses have been depressed to the same extent as other "Earthlings" cities. Such a disadvantage made me laugh that the "adventurers" of this city "just became like the others". Rainesia won't forget that undecorated smile.

"It seems that the movement of the Adventurers has also created new trading routes in each territory. If an airway is used, it cannot be used directly by us, but it is used for trading in rare goods or for postal services?"

Yes, and then Rainesia snapped her neck.

I didn't really understand the connection.

After a moment of reflection, I realized that this was the result of the "Adventurers" around the place in "Liberation of the Tendo" finding new cold villages and updating maps.

I guess it would be nice if the ties everywhere were stronger because of that.

"Master Woodstock's job in Grandale, right? I hear you're carrying news."

Rainesia replied.

As a special envoy, the Earthlings help solve the problem of the Adventurers as well. Crasty stripped me (Rainesia thinks that whoever said that assault was a kidnapping) Since that night, I've had several opportunities to ride the flying creature that The Adventurer could obey.

According to Reese, "Eagle Lion" (Griffon), which can fly for a long time in cooperation, has few even "Adventurers", but one of the guilds with such property is "Grandale", which currently runs the postal service. There are many mountainous villages in northeastern Yamato that can't afford to run fast to the territorial capital, and this guild, which carries blood letters and transports necessities to such villages, is an object of gratitude to the 'earthlings'.

Rainesia smiled with the pride of being able to help with such a plan.

"What does Rainesia think about the size and impact of the business? How much this has helped local lords"

"Business, is it?

Salaria asks that Rainesia again with a bewildered look.

Rainesia puts her little neck on again and thinks about it.

Out of tone, I don't think I've caused any problems, but I care that Salaria sighed like she was frightened. Maybe there's something missing, but the plan itself was set up by Grandale. Rainesia just got in on the consultation and said, "I would be so happy if your letter came from the sky to a village that is difficult to reach, even once a month," and I don't know what my mother is doing to spare me.

I had no choice but to lay down my shoulders and nag. It is a trick called "The Lakeside Maiden Who Grieves". I had no idea what my mother was thinking, so I tried to react that was likely to deceive me.

I don't know exactly because I'm dropping my gaze, but I feel my mother's gaze poured tightly over Rainesia.

Not that I could switch routes, not that I could come up with any smart answers again, and I could hear the cough "Cohon, Cohon" coming from the wall when time passed, as compared to patience.

Elissa was able to help.

Thank you, Elissa.

I could see my mother changing her mind with a loud sigh, and Rainesia could finally ask you that. I could, but waiting for Rainesia like that was an unexpected surprise.

"... Master Krusty has left the territory."

"Huh..."

Raynesia desperately suppressed her reaction, which she could not say was a lady, with years of training. Hold down the gaze that runs left and right, lifting the tea vessel, but the cup and saucer make contact to make a noise with the kachi.

Could it be that the mouthless pursuit of Appletta and Huevel, which I visited the other day, has also gone into my mother's ear? Such a question arises. My conversation with my mother has a good chance of that happening, but the topic jumped all the time today and it was bad for my heart.

Though I thought at a young age I was trying to upset my daughter by waving a flying topic to train her to settle down as a nobleman, my experience over the past few years has also been a part of my late understanding that this is one of my mother's socializations as well as her original personality.

"Mmm. Hmm...... Kohon. What's that?

"No, nothing."

To her unorthogonal mother's discourse, Rainesia sends a reprehensible gaze, but Salaria just tastes black rose tea quietly and doesn't seem to fit in.

What the hell is this visit for? What does my mother Salaria want to tell you?

Rainesia pushed upset to death and thought. However, I am not confident in your abilities, Rainesia. I don't have any refreshments.

When I heard the news of my mother's visit, I thought she was likely to be angry at me for failing something, but so far it doesn't seem to be such a conversation flow either.

The answers to Rainesia's stuffy questions were still brought abruptly.

"Rainesia"

"Yes, Mother. What is it?"

"We have an engagement story in two weeks."

"Huh?"

After hearing too many unexpected words, Salaria's words slipped down the surface of Rainesian thought. Rainesia didn't know what that meant, and it took only a few moments to reassemble and understand it after picking it up.

Engagement is the promise of marriage.

I mean, it's engagement that promises to marry.

Who and who?

"It was Saigami Touri who made the application.... you will be the owner. Rainesia."

Could this be about someone close to you?

Raynesia, desperately fleeing, thinks that.

Suddenly, a quilt duvet floated in the back of his brain. I bought it for the salary I earned from working part-time, it is the best treasure in Rainesia at the moment. Warm, soft, brightly colored, it's an excellent way to take Rainesia (literally) to the country of your dreams.

Let's get some sleep in that quilt futon again this evening. It's bad for Elissa, but I'd like to take it slow tomorrow morning and try something called brunch that merges with lunch for breakfast as well. Eating honey toast seemed such an excellent idea.

"Yes......"

But training as an aristocratic spiritual ground worn by Rainesia made Rainesia's head nod one with an obedient method. If noble children are told to get engaged by their parents, there is only one reply they can give back.

"Get ready. Don't regret it."

Elissa's clogged voice leaked from the wall.

Raynesia had heard somewhere else like HR that she had to get rid of the candy later on.
