Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

In a corner of the camp stained with dusk, Marie was peeling potatoes with a tense look.

Marie with the knife is trembling because of the tension and the work of peeling does not proceed as late.

Some vegetables are placed on a simple table placed in front of Marie.

I'm going to chop up some of these vegetables and simmer them with some good prepared ingredients.

At the side of the table is made an impromptu cauldron with clay bricks brought by the troops, on which a small pan of bronze is installed.

In the small pot was a good prepared vegetable stew.

"You don't have to be so nervous. I'm not asking you to make me a treat. Just cut some vegetables and let them simmer with what's in the pan"

Ichiya, who was watching from the near field, spoke up when she saw Marie looking too nervous.

"Yes! Ahhh!?

Marie, who was called out, got nervous about Sang, and slipped her hand, which had the potato, and nearly took off the potato at risk.

There is also too much force in the hand holding the knife, and this can cause injury within it.

"Also, I'm sorry. I can usually do it more handily..."

Seeing Marie nervous about the bees, Havel, who until then had swallowed solids and watched the cooking, made a good apology in such a way that she didn't care.

As a havel, I can't wait to get this far and be rebelled earlier.

I want Marie to manage to show me something handy and make a better impression of it at all.

"Hmmm...... do you get nervous when I see it after all?

"Yes, no! Kake, never do that!

Answering Marie obviously nervously, Ichigo smiled bitterly, tapping Havel's shoulder next door gently.

"I'm going around that area. Say hello later, Mr. Havel."

Ichigo spoke to Habel that way and walked away somewhere.

Havel sighed heavily as she dropped off her good back as she moved away.

"Come on, please... Master Kazura gave me permission..."

"I'm sorry...... but not while I'm being seen straight away by such a great nobleman as Kazura..."

Marie apologized to Havel in a somewhat relieved manner as to whether her nervousness had been resolved by her absence.

Even though he spoke well in the carriage while the troops were on the move, the good for Marie is on the clouds.

Besides, even though I was afraid to just let the carriage ride me, I was suddenly promoted by a good, exclusive cook this time.

Marie's heart isn't strong enough to stay calm with this.

"Um, Master Kazura is noble enough not to even take a pull from Master Narson, right? Is it okay for someone like me to be such an exclusive cook... and my cooking arm is still better than everyone else in the mansion..."

"Marie"

Are you anxious about your identity and cooking arm, Marie sends Havel a worrying glance whispering a weak sound.

Havel looked around to make sure Ichigo and Zirconia weren't nearby, and spoke to Marie in a whisper as well.

"I know you're anxious, but this is a great opportunity for you to leave the Louson family. You wouldn't want to be there forever, would you?

"That's... yes. But now we seem to be fooling Kazura and Zirconia... and there are also promises that Habel has made with Knoll..."

"Don't say bad things about people. Nothing. I'm not cheating on Master Kazura or Master Zirconia, and I'm not throwing up lies. If this works, your father will have to give up your ownership, but I'm not going to take it and reverse all my promises. You don't have to think too much, concentrate on your part. You'll be able to cook the dishes that Kazura likes as soon as possible."

"... Yes"

Marie nodded, but she's still anxious on the inside, and that look remains cloudy.

I wonder how much of a good opportunity I can get out of the Rouson family, this kind of way is unwillingness.

Havel found it a little frustrating with Marie like that, but she wouldn't put it on her face.

When Havel exhaled one thing, she decided to explain to Marie about the promise she had made earlier with Ichigo.

"That's right, and never let anyone else eat the ingredients you keep from Master Kazura. Master Kazura is trying to kill me."

"Yes, of course that's... you know, you can taste it, right?

"You don't mind if I taste it, do you? Instead, it would be more impossible to tell them to cook without a taste"

"That's right... eh, I need to see the flavor before I add the vegetables..."

When Marie put the potato and knife she had on the table, she took the wooden small plate and the egg she had placed and headed for the pan.

Then, remove a small amount of vegetable stew from the pan and transfer it to a small plate, pour your mouth on the small plate and tilt.

"... delicious"

With vegetable stew in his mouth for the first time, Marie opened her eyes to flavors she had never eaten before.

The flavor and mellowness that spreads through my mouth is exquisite, and I'm going to forget the original purpose of tasting it for its deliciousness.

I'll try to force my consciousness back and figure out how to reproduce the flavoring, but I have no idea what ingredients I can use to reproduce this flavor.

The vegetable stew Marie has just spoken of is a stew can that Ichigo purchased in the luxury gift corner of the department store.

It looks like it was made by a famous hotel supervisor, and it's a luxury item that costs 8,000 yen for a set of five cans.

I've got the right price and it seems to taste good.

"Also, just one more bite..."

"Oh, hey, it's a taste, huh? Don't eat too much."

Havel hastily cautioned Marie as she continued to pour stew out of the pan for another bite.

As Marie was about to get a second taste, Ichigo was wandering around the camp to see how the squire was doing for dinner.

And look at the squire cooking and tasting from the pan.

"Yabe, I totally forgot about the taste"

And he accidentally stopped and held his head on the spot.

Late the next night.

A line that arrived in Isteria late at night to avoid the eyes was unloading in the square of the secluded and quiet Narson mansion.

The sun has already fallen completely, so it's pretty dim except near the pine lights that are lit all over the square.

The whole city that came by the time we got to the Narson Mansion was no exception, and the lighted houses could only be seen counting.

Among other things, the Kingsguards move tightly and work with their squire to silently pile the load in the corner of the square.

The carriage in which the good personal belongings were carried had Isaac and Havel on it, and he glanced at them to avoid being handled in a cluttered manner.

Narson emerged from inside the mansion as Ichiyoshi gazed at Zirconia and its working landscape.

A good clock needle is already around 2: 00 in the middle of the night, but it seems Narson was still awake.

"Lord Kazura, good luck with your long journey. Did you do what you planned?

"Yeah, we've got all the stuff we planned. There are some items that I didn't plan on doing."

"An item that wasn't planned, was it?

"Yeah, it's a little unusual, so not too much for people...... and there's quite a bit of it, so get a little room on the ground floor. Room facing the courtyard, please."

The reason I designated the room as a room facing the courtyard on the ground floor is because I plan to use a petrol generator and a hydroelectric generator.

The location of the generator installation is planned to be in the courtyard just outside the room, so it is not convenient because wiring will be too long if it is above the second floor.

Also, for the convenience of using a hydroelectric generator later, part of the courtyard must be improved in advance to pull the waterway.

There are several water intake and drainage waterways pulled on the premises of the mansion, so you can branch one of them off and use it as a waterway for hydropower.

"Also, I'm scheduled to start work tomorrow morning...... will give me a break and work on rebuilding the barn zone that surrounds Isteria this afternoon. Can I have manpower?

I would have liked to get to work first thing tomorrow morning, but now Ichigo was exhausted.

I was in the carriage, but the wagon wobble was too harsh to fall asleep, and after a little sleep, I woke up repeatedly with a wobble.

The whole carriage wobbles with just a few steps or pebbles because the wheels of the carriage are made of all wood and there is no mechanism to dampen vibrations like shock absorbers.

Marie couldn't let go of her anti-drunken essential oils, as usual, and Ichigo herself was feeling a little sick by the time she arrived in Isteria.

"We make provision for those in the house who manage the barn zone to be able to drop in personnel as soon as instructions are given. I'm sure some of the slaves they own will also mix, okay?

"... slave, or"

When I heard he was a slave, Ichiyoshi glanced at me a little.

Before, Ichigo had heard in the course of conversation from Barletta that there was slavery in this country, so he knew that it existed.

But when I hear the word slave again, I don't feel very good.

"Now let's use our private soldiers instead of slaves. There are 600 Kingsguards in the 1st and 2nd Regiments, with the exception of the reserve, so we will mobilize them all."

Seeing as a good reaction was not aromatic, Narson offered an alternative.

Slavery is the norm for the Narsons and must be closely related to everyday life.

Nevertheless, the awareness that we treat human beings as objects also holds a small number of narsons.

In front of Gracior, the God who presides over mercy and abundance, I had some hesitation in talking about the existence of slaves, but I thought it would be a bad idea to use slaves without saying anything.

But Narson saw a good reaction and regretted what he said about slavery.

Even here, and if they tell you to let all the slaves go, etc., no matter how good the order, Nalson can't snort instantly either.

If we do that, the economy will collapse, and the aristocracy and the people in the territory will go mad before we move the slave liberation to execution, and the territory will be in a state of civil unrest.

"… no, whatever the instructions earlier. I'm guessing the Kingsguards have other assignments, right?

"We entrust the Kingsguards with the security of areas similar to those for which the Guard is responsible and with sentinels outside the town…"

"Then let the Kingsguards return to those assignments. All the work that will be done in the future will not be finished in a day or two. You can't just count on the Kingsguards every time."

For the sake of giving me a realistic opinion unexpectedly, Narson was heartily surprised and relieved.

I was just beginning to wonder how to convince Ichigo if he were instructed to free the slaves.

"Okay. Then we will summon personnel outside the city walls tomorrow afternoon. I'd like to start with the barn zone in the north, where the situation is the worst."

"That's okay. And what about the production of the parts I've instructed you to do?

"We already have about thirty pairs. I was wondering if it would be even more efficient if the craftsmen were more accustomed to working."

A good part is a part of a water wheel that I have previously instructed Zirconia to do.

I was hoping I could have done a few by the time I got back to Isteria, but they've done quite a few unexpectedly.

"Oh, are you that good? If that's all productive, don't worry about it in the future."

To Narson's words, Zirconia was also relieved to hear the conversation between the two next door.

I guess I was wondering if the parts production was going well or even while I was going to the village of Gricea.

"Good. I gave the craftsmen a little more money, so they must have done their best."

"I see, I have to work hard to get what I get... Well, it's time for me to rest..."

"Oh, so is that. I'll have the room ready right away. We also have a bath to prepare, so shouldn't they go in while we have a room to prepare?

"Will you let me?"

In the meantime, we wrapped up the story and Ichigo followed Nalson to the mansion.

"(... that, like I forgot something)"

I felt like I'd forgotten something, and Ichigo twisted his head as he walked to the mansion.

But even if I try to remember, I'm tired and I can't turn my head, and I end up abandoning my thoughts and heading for the bath.

Tons of piles of luggage behind Ichigo walking away.

Within one of them, a large cooler box, twelve hours were about to pass soon after the last missing piece of dry ice packed with frozen large quantities of food finished its role.
