Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

Then a few hours later.

Zirconia, who had completed today's work in the barn zone, was in the guest room of the Louson residence, where she had a meeting with Knoll, the head of the Louson family.

There is no one in the room but Zirconia and Knoll, and the soldiers and squires Zirconia was taking are kept waiting outside the room.

The walls of the guest rooms are decorated with exquisite balance to such an extent that luxurious dishes and paintings do not become persistent.

The floor is laid with marble, shiny polished and I don't see a single stain.

Zirconia glanced (bestied) into the room and smiled face-to-face at Knoll sitting opposite him across the table.

"I'm sorry I forced you to screw my appointments. I really need to ask you something."

"I'm sorry to bother you. And what is that favor?

Like Zirconia, Knoll answered with a soft waist with a smile.

I didn't see anything particularly nervous in front of Zirconia, and it behaved really grandiose.

"I'm a slave in your house, and I have a daughter who wants me to give up one. I'm a slave by the name of Marie."

When Zirconia named Marie, Knoll's gaze narrowed much.

"... do you want Marie?

"Yeah. Ten days ago, a friend of Narson's named Kazra stayed at your mansion, right? I think Mr. Kazura really liked the dinner that was served at your mansion."

"... ten days ago, you said your son Havel had taken you?

"Yeah, that's right. Mr. Kazra is still planning on staying at our mansion for a while, but the food our cook made doesn't seem to fit his mouth. So, I thought I'd use Marie, who was in charge of making Mr. Kazura's dinner ten days ago, as Kazura's exclusive cook. I wonder if you could sell her the money at that price."

When Zirconia said so, Knoll shifted his gaze away from Zirconia, wrinkling between his eyebrows and pressing him into silence.

"... anything inconvenient?

Zirconia tilts her little neck at such a knoll appearance.

To Zirconia's inquiry, Knoll opened his mouth with a bitter look as he raised his face.

"... can't anyone else? There are several other ladies in charge of cooking at home."

"You can't. Because Mr. Kazra seems to like not only the food, but the very thing about that girl. I can't replace anyone else."

……

"Is that also why you're in trouble? If there is, can you explain it?

Zirconia turned away her smile and asked with a slight glance at Knoll, who had once again missed her eyes and pressed her silence.

In contrast, Knoll looks up in a hurry.

"Marie is my common son and I want to keep it with me if I can. I would appreciate it if we could take the form of a limited time loan..."

"... is Marie that important?

"Yes, because he's my child for once, even though he's a bastard"

When Zirconia inquired with a decent look, Knoll returned the words with a really serious look.

"... I don't know what you're talking about. Marie is the child you made a slave of, isn't she? If it's so important, why did you leave it as a slave? If you apply as an Isterian citizen during the annual household registration survey, you can be freed from slavery."

"Doing so will mean putting Marie in the family line of the Rouson family... formally incorporating the child of slavery into the family line is just... and my wife and sons won't be able to convince me, so I have no choice but to remain a slave"

"But isn't that what Marie thinks of her narrow shoulder in this house? Does that mean the rest of your family doesn't like Marie? Isn't it better to take this opportunity to get you out there, to be guaranteed a future life, and Marie happy?

When Zirconia pointed that out, Knoll gave such a windy look as "Shit" for a moment.

"Oh, no... that's... yes..."

"(... oh, that's the thing)"

To Knoll, who answers badly with a broken tooth, Zirconia understands what position Marie is in.

Perhaps, but Marie is like a collar to tie Havel to the Louson family.

Zirconia has heard from Isaac that Marie was riding in a carriage with Ichigo on good instructions the other day when Ichigo accompanied the Habels to the village of Grisea.

Isaac said Habel seemed to have taken good care of herself and brought in a good and knowledgeable Marie, but that probably wouldn't be the case.

Because at the time when Ichigo was set to head to the village of Grisea, no problems had surfaced regarding Ichigo's dietary preferences.

If there was already a problem with the meal, I can also understand that Havel came with Marie, distracted.

But at that point, when no problems with the meal had surfaced, I see no reason to bring Marie in.

When it comes to taking Marie to take care of and talk to a good person around her, it sounds like it, but on second thought, it's slightly unnatural.

Zirconia accompanied him well and left him in charge of taking good care of himself while he was staying at the Istel family.

Havel and you should know about it, so would you choose Marie, a girl who is not old enough just because she is good and knowledgeable, to go out of her way to let her squire take care of herself?

Moreover, unlike a squire who took good care of himself for a few days at the Istell family, Marie took good care of him only for one night.

I don't know how close Marie and Ichigo became in the meantime, but even though how many are loving Ichigo to 10,000 people, will they get that close to their first servants in one night?

Furthermore, in the words of Knoll earlier, no one other than Knoll of the Rouson family should have a good heart about Marie.

If that's true, all the more reason why Habel chose Marie as her squire creates a contradiction.

Even when Zirconia brought Havel the story of a good meal, Havel recommended Marie first.

If Havel hates Marie, then she won't imitate Marie like she would.

If Marie were to be a good and exclusive cook, Marie would be under the shelter of the Istell family.

Perhaps Zirconia came to the conclusion that Havel was after it.

"... well, if that's what you're saying, you can take the form of a loan for now."

Nevertheless, there is no reason why Zirconia should bother to match Habel's thoughts.

Even pushing through the shape of being forced to buy Marie's ownership here only makes the Rouson family's heart certificate worse than it needs to be against the Istails.

After things have already gone according to Havel's thoughts to some extent, the original purpose of sending Marie to the best of us will not change.

As a zirconia, in any way, Marie can be a good cook.

If Ichiyoshi says he wants Marie to be his own, no questions asked. Marie's ownership is bought from the Rouson family, but otherwise there's nothing wrong with it in the form of a loan.

"Oh, really? Thank you."

"Except"

Zirconia adds words to Knoll, who is relieved to hear Zirconia's response.

"While we're renting Marie, Marie's gonna let us live in our mansion. Ownership remains with the Louson family, but if Mr. Kazra comes and says he wants Marie, then give up on Marie."

"... ok"

Zirconia loosened her expression and smiled when she confirmed that Knoll nodded in such a way as reluctantly.

"I'm sorry I said I couldn't. Well, I'll keep collecting Marie's personal effects, so can I get them ready?

"Yes, please wait a moment"

Nor left the guest room as he graced Zirconia and then rose.

Meanwhile, around that time.

In the courtyard of the Narson mansion, where the sun was completely sunken and darkened, Ichigo and Isaac were speaking in front of the generator.

Havel has undertaken to clean up the carriages and luggage that he has returned with, and is not on this occasion now.

The route I have been watching the generator has been instructed earlier by Ichigo to arrange a large number of corners and boards, and to go to the material storage area in the mansion.

"When you surround this and attach it to the roof, it's like a little cabin."

"I want to close the door so that I can get inside and out, so I can't have a wooden box that completely covers this... and I want to leave the drum can in the room in the courtyard, and I want to build a cabin for it."

When Ichirano said so, he turned to the edge of the courtyard where the generator would be opposite the place where it was located.

The sun is already down, but the two of them are preparing to build a storage shed for placing drum cans and other materials in the courtyard.

Of course, starting construction tonight can't be over, and it's nighttime to arrange personnel, so full construction is scheduled to take a few days tomorrow morning.

But before we do that, we're going to build a simple cabin by the end of the night surrounding the generators that are still running.

With several wooden plates now standing on the generator blindfolded, there is a risk that if people are not attached, they will get a quick peek.

But if we make something like a cabin and lock it up, even though it's a simple ceremony, no one will show up to destroy it on purpose until we take a peek.

Naturally, we can make them stand guard nearby, but if they can build a cabin, they can get rid of things like limited personnel that can be used as they are now.

Nevertheless, even if I hear the intermittent sounds coming out of the generator, I have to choose someone who doesn't imitate things like losing curiosity and peeking.

As the two chatted on the spot for a while, the route returned by pulling a luggage car with wooden planks and other materials on it.

"Dear Kazura, is this enough?

"Yeah, that's about enough. Thank you."

Ichiyoshi nodded satisfactorily at the large quantities of material placed on the luggage.

"So shall we assemble it properly now? I'll get some tools, so Mr. Isaac will wait here. You can go home today, Mr. Route. I'm sorry I kept you on guard for so long."

"No, let me help you too. I'll do anything."

When Ichiyoshi gave Root permission to go home, Root offered to help him by posturing correctly.

Route should have been on generator watch all morning, so he should be quite tired.

Nonetheless, the look on Route's face was full of motivation.

"Yeah, but Mr. Routt won't even be having dinner yet, and you're tired, right? I think I'll be asking for help again tomorrow, so I'd better go home and rest today..."

"Thank you for your concern. But I'm still fine, so let me help you out."

For a good care, Root is slightly moisturizing his eyes as if he was thrilled.

Next to it, Isaac looked to the route with a little joy.

By the way, Ichigo and Isaac have already finished dinner.

Neither Narson nor Reese had plans today, and we couldn't have dinner together, so we each assembled here after dinner alone.

"(Ah, this guy's a little Mr. Isaac. It's Mr. Petite Isaac.)"

When Ichigo exchanged a few words with Root this morning, he felt that the atmosphere of Root was similar to someone else's, but it seemed to belong to Isaac.

The route is a little over 160cm tall, much smaller than Isaac, who has about 180cm.

But the body is as tight as Isaac in his daily workouts, and none of the wasted luxury flesh.

He has a slight stiffness in his standing behavior, but he is a good young man with a proper courtesy and an honest impression.

I mean, my age is only seventeen, but in a few more years I'll be growing up as a fine adult soldier like Isaac.

"Dear Kazra, Root is not the kind of man who leaks secrets to others. I know Master Kazura is Gracior better than I was, and I was wondering if there was a problem with letting him help me."

"... well, let's do it. Let's just do it for the three of us and get it over with."

There was also Isaac's advance, and when Ichiyoshi accepted the offer of help, Route gave his expression.

"Thank you! We will do everything we can to work on it!

When I laughed bitterly at the route I answered, I headed to my room to get the tools.
