Isekai Tensei no Boukensha - 276 Chapter 19-1 Aura of Healing and Happiness
Temma, Ernesto’s got a letter for you.
At least a month before the snow melted, a letter came to me. The sender was Ernesto, who lived in the same kingdom and was brought here by a servant of the Grand Duke who disguised himself as an important source of news.
Since it is the same king’s city, you may think it is good to call it and tell it directly, but in the past one to two months, the atmosphere of the king’s city has become rough, and even among the royalists, it is beginning to be unclear who is on the side and who is the enemy.
The cause of this is the war in the frontier province. Although the conflict is still continuing, the number of enemies is increasing, and the number of advantages is almost impossible. As a countermeasure, an additional dispatch of royalists and some neutrals was decided, but the presence of reformers has increased near the capital. Well, I would say that it is in the absence of the devil, but it is still a threat to the aristocrats who have a territory that is weak and relatively close to the territory of the reformists. Little by little, the reformers are succeeding in turning around.
The kings need to be more vigilant when they get here, and there is less contact with the Otori family (…) on the front (…) and up (…) to avoid unnecessary irritation. Well, I have exchanged letters and messages more often than before.
So, what does he say?
It looks like you’re making trouble for Marquis Samons this time.
The territory of the Marquis of Samons lies north of the Duke of Sangha, close to the mountain range. Because of this, the enemy soldiers who had crossed the mountain were caught in the crossing and looted. However, at this stage (when Ernesto reported), it was not possible to determine whether it was intended to proceed in earnest, whether it was just harassment, and whether it was accidentally targeted.
If they’re targeting the Marquis of Samons, we might have to think about joining the House of Otori in earnest.
“Well, it doesn’t matter… but in that case, it would be enough for me to take the golem with me.” If I and Temma go together, the reformers will have an opportunity and a coup now. ”
In the early stages of the New Year’s Eve, the reformists were likely to have a coup, but now it is the idea of the royalty at the top that they will have a coup. Because of this, it was connected to the atmosphere of the King’s Capital… but the kings said they couldn’t get around it.
Among them, what I can do is to make sure that people I know in the capital can escape into the Otori family’s mansion at any time, and that they can use the food and weapons obtained from the reformist territory at any time, and to refine the creation of the golem that has become a daily routine in the past few months.
However, the production of mass-produced golems increased by more than 300, including those given to the kings, but the food has not been very good since the age. In addition to the decrease in food purchases in the winter, the Reformers began to gather, and they had most of their branches filled before being imprisoned by the Reformist nobility. The only things left in reformist territory are the empty stores that were branches and the quality food and armor that were left behind as dummies.
“Grandpa, please get in touch with Uncle Mark and have another emergency evacuation meeting.” I’ll go to the Duke of Sangha and talk to Albert. ”
Because of Cain, I have decided that I would rather put Albert in touch than come directly to me, but in the unlikely event that the King’s City is involved in a war, the House of Otori should be the home of the Royal Family and the Duke of Sangha in particular, so I will discuss with Albert as soon as any problems arise or threaten to arise here. Not only that, but Albert’s reputation for royalty is skyrocketing, as he also acts as an intermediary between the Otori family and the royal family. In addition, Cain and Leon are moving for the royalty through their school friends and acquaintances, so the kings’ reputation will rise.
“Well then, I’ll go.” Primera, do you have a message for Albert? ”
“Especially… oh! No matter how busy you are, please tell oniisama not to do anything to scorn your sister-in-law.”
“Okay, just in case, I’ll leave Leiden and the wagon behind, so you can use them if you need anything.”
It’s a long way from the House of Otori to the Duke of Sangha, but if you fly by magic, you’ll get there faster than a carriage. There were just two problems.
One of them is that when the guards find him, they ask him questions about his duties, and the second one is very cold. However, the first is that as long as you can prove your identity, you will only need to be careful if there is no extra thing (such as entering the nobleman’s premises), and the second is that it is not a big deal if you wear thick enough clothes or shield yourself from the wind with magic.
It’s just me and my grandfather flying through the capital, and I and my grandfather are both well-known and well-flying in the capital, so most of the time I’m freed by just showing my face and talking one word or two. Well, some guards are loyal to their duties, so even if they know it’s me, they’ll take time to make sure it’s in accordance with the manual… but if they’re not in an emergency, they can be treated as criminals, so even if it’s troublesome, we need to deal with it properly.
“Albert, have you heard anything from Cain?”
When I arrived at the Sangha Duke’s residence, I approached the gatekeeper from the front, and when I greeted the gatekeeper, I was passed through the mansion without being asked about anything in particular. Then I greeted the butler who came to me and went straight to Albert, who was at work. Normally impossible, but I am the son of the Duke of Sangha, and above all, I have the permission of the Duke of Sangha, because this is what Albert was like when he came to my house. However, when the Duke of Sangha is present, he will properly inform the gatekeeper of the purpose of the visit and wait until the butler comes, so it is a special response only for Albert.
Has His Majesty told you to come in early?
“No, I heard from Ernesto-sama.” Well, I guess the king instructed it. ”
“I see, so it’s called Cain, and it’s from the Marquis of Sammons, but it’s enough to alert the Knights who have left it in their territory for now.” Due to its proximity to the mountains, the Marquisate of Samons lands more than the capital city and the border province of Houston. Rather than letting the Knights move and create poorly, it seemed to be a policy to strengthen their defenses. However, the situation may have changed by the time of the next report, so I would like to ask the Otori family to help me when I have to. ”
“Tell Cain I got it.” Before I came here, I was discussing the possibility with my grandfather. If so, Grandpa will fly away with the golem. ”
I’ve never ventured into a snowy area, but my grandfather seems to have some experience in his youth, so he’s probably better suited than I am. If you have any concerns, golem. Until now, I have confirmed that there is no problem with behavior in some snow, but since I have no experience in heavy snow, it may be useless if I can’t move the worst. Well, at that time, I think it will be given a role such as waiting around the city and putting the knights on the alert, so it won’t be completely a problem. Besides, it’s not a bad thing for the Otori family to go to assist the Marquis of Samons as it will be an experiment to see how far the golem can move in the heavy snow. Besides, if you settle down, you’ll pay a fair price.
“Indeed, given the current situation, it is difficult for Temma and Merlin to leave the capital at the same time.” When Cain has to, it will be reassuring to know that the experienced Merlin is ready to help a lot of Temma golems… By the way, Temma, the medicine I received before has run out, so could you be a little more accommodating? ”
Albert refers to “medicine” as the nutritional pills given to him at the New Year’s party. Eliza’s offensive seemed to be as intense as ever because I had given her the nutrients a while ago.
“This is cheap, but… it’s just a drink that can easily be nourished, and it’s not a suspicious medicine.” If you make a mistake, don’t tell anyone else. I don’t want to be gathered by strange people. ”
If this nutrient got Elsa pregnant by cutting (…) and hanging (…), and Albert told other aristocrats about it… I will gain a different popularity from the next day onwards. the popularity of the aristocrat who wants to inherit it…..
Nutritional medicine itself is not difficult to make, but it is only nutritional medicine that Albert is given, not pregnancy medicine. Health boosts and nutritional supplements may help you get pregnant, but ingredients don’t help you get pregnant easily. If you’re an acquaintance of Albert, you can share nutritional supplements, but even if you can’t get pregnant as a result, you won’t be held responsible. Even if I told you that in advance, some of the nobles who would rely on the medicine would not be satisfied. If you don’t want to work hard, you can choose not to give it to Albert, but I can’t let my best friend and brother-in-law do the same. So in the end, we have to stop Albert.
“I know that many times.” But can I just talk to Cain? He might struggle in the future, too. ”
“Cain will be fine.” Just don’t let Leon get married to Canon. In Leon’s case, even though I understand that it’s better not to say it, I’m going to slip out of my mouth and unnoticedly expand my conversation. ”
Even if Cain didn’t tell me when handing it over, there was little worry of leaking it elsewhere, but in the case of Leon, there was a high chance of leaking it. However, it is conceivable not to suspect that it is a normal nutrient that does not have the same pregnancy effect as that… but it is Leon who does not know what will happen, so it is better not to talk about nutrients as much as possible.
“I understand that, too. It’s just… I let Leon drink it, but I think I can promote it like it didn’t have such an effect.”
You could certainly claim that, but Leon’s opponent wasn’t in the King’s City, so he said, “Of course! Rather, it was more effective (in many ways) and scary! They’re going to say,” Oh, my God.
If you, Temma-san, have been partitioned, can I mix it up too?
As usual, Eliza came into the room reluctantly after falling in Leon. The reason I’m reluctant is probably because I was listening to Albert and I. Albert didn’t seem to notice that Eliza was outside the door, but I didn’t think she’d come into the room, so I’m a little uncomfortable.
“What’s the matter, Eliza?” I didn’t say anything so important, so I didn’t have to hold back so much… maybe it was for a temma? ”
Albert didn’t seem to think he’d been asked about anything to do with their nightly activities, and he thought Eliza might be asking me to do something about it.
“No, well, that’s right… but I’m not asking for it.” However, when something happened in the capital, my parents wrote to me asking me to evacuate the servants of the Sylphilde family… sometimes I wanted to ask the Otori family to help me evacuate. ”
“As the Duke of the Sangha, I don’t mind helping the Sylphilds evacuate… but when the Sylphilds are in danger, the whole capital of the kingdom is in danger?”
“I think it includes helping you escape to the outside world. Even though there was no reinforcement on the drifting rocks, it would be difficult to find a castle in the King’s Mansion. However, I will make sure to follow the Duke’s orders at that time. Can I write a reply that I don’t mind?”
“I don’t mind… but how about a house of wolves?”
“In our case, it would be impossible as an evacuation destination.” If something happens in the King’s City and you need to evacuate, the Otori family’s mansion may be nearly half filled with people related to the village of Kukri. Considering that there will be other acquaintances, it may be difficult to accommodate the people of the Sylphild family in terms of distance. However, if you need to evacuate, we will of course cooperate. ”
In this case, it is better not to decide “how far to cooperate” even if it is a close person. Evacuation means that you will be in the position of a weaker person, and perhaps you will have to break it down on the way to escape, or you may be forced to abandon the selection.
That seems to be better understood by Albert and Eliza, and now the conversation is over when they say, “If we have to, we have to cooperate and escape to the outside world.”
“By the way, Temma, how’s Primera doing?”
“I’m fine. Besides, she said that she was used to getting used to it, and the birth attendant said that it was time for her to get better. Also, at first glance, your stomach is getting bigger, so it looks like your back and hips are hurting.”
I rub my back and waist when I see it hurting, but when I’m not there, Amur and Jeanne are doing a primera massage, and I also see where they actually do it. Well, the first massage was surprising, and it didn’t seem to work very well… including for me.
I see, I want you to tell them I’m going to play soon.
It seems that Eliza’s coming to visit us is a matter of decision. Well, I usually come to play without contacting you, so it’s as usual.
Marquis Side
“Reporting! We have spotted a group of enemy soldiers who are believed to be attempting to infiltrate our forces and have immediately defeated them!”
During the afternoon meeting, a report was delivered that the cool water would be poured into the slightly floating air before the break.
Reports indicate that the number of confirmed enemies was around twenty, several of whom were defeated, while the rest escaped and could not be apprehended. We’ve had some minor casualties, but no serious casualties.
“What do you think?”
“Seeing that it was easy to find, and that it ran away early, it’s probably harassment. However, if this intrusion attempt was seriously considering a sabotage operation or the assassination of a VIP, there is a risk that other units may have infiltrated the defeated troops, so it is likely that vigilance will be necessary.”
One of the Marquis’s army cadres suggested so, and the rest of them spoke up in favor.
“Surely that would be good. Now, give the commands to be more vigilant everywhere.”
The cadres here, including me, are more alert than usual, but the ones below will be more burdensome.
“I can only say that the upper echelons of the enemy who risk their lives to harass their own soldiers are worried… Everyone, be more attentive to the situation of your men.” It’s a stressful situation even in the cold. The extra measures taken by the enemy could put a strain on us and cause trouble among our people. I want to improve my diet, but I can’t do that until the next resupply arrives at the earliest. Please take care of it by adding more breaks for each unit so that it doesn’t get in the way. ”
There are not many things that can be done now, but if you don’t do what you can do, it can be the worst kind of self-destruction. If it gets a little warmer and the snow melts, you can swap out with your own soldiers, but that should be more than a month from now.
“If the Duke Sangha Army and the Houston Frontier Army had enough personnel, we might be able to temporarily borrow them to take a break… but I don’t think we were the only ones harassed.” I don’t think the situation will change much… well, I’ll have to contact both armies about this once and for all. ”
Maybe we can afford some support from both armies, more than the Marquis of Sammons.
Marquis Sammons, it’s side.
“Why come back, I wonder if Chris is here?”
After the conversation, Albert and Eliza laughed for a while and came back to the Mansion, where Chris was packed in the dining room.
Chris seemed to have been busy since the end of last year, and even when he came to my house, he only stayed for a few hours for a cup of tea, either at work or on the way. In fact, he had enough time to come and play, but Chris also followed the king’s orders to come to the house so as not to spur the Reformers. By the way, Tedda and Luna were part of the royal family, but they played less than half the time before. The reason why they came to visit us was that Amy was my disciple and ex-adopter of the Otori family, so I came to teach Amy how to say hello. Well, since the attendant at that time was Aina, Chris never came to my house when I said this.
“C ‘mon ~, the captain is going to be even busier from now on, so I went out of my way to name me because I don’t think there will be any holidays.” That’s why I thought I’d invite you to play with the synchronization you took off….. ”
“Those people had a prior appointment, so they had no choice but to come to us.”
“That’s right ~…… but I don’t want to make any promises.”
“So you’re talking to your boyfriend? It’s kindness as a person that you don’t say.” However, I can imagine that the two of them are in the same space (faintly breathing) saying that dangerous word… but now it could be a big deal.
So, after I told Maria-sama properly, I was told that I could go play if Temma-kun wanted me to.
I didn’t allow it because I wasn’t here when Chris arrived… but I thought Primera did. However, both Primera and Chris were miscalculated because the most healing Shiroomal in the family followed his grandfather and stayed away.
“Welcome back, Temma-san.”
In order not to be fooled, when Chris was thinking of returning to his room quietly, Primera came to the cafeteria realizing that I had returned. It seems that she took a bath until just before, and her hair was still wet.
“I’m home. Was the bath… with Jeanne?” Then I’ll be fine.
Our bath is quite spacious, so when I thought it might be dangerous to enter alone in a pregnant primera, I noticed Jeanne right behind me.
“Yes, you helped me.” It seemed like I was taking care of her, so I was distracted….. ”
Jeanne laughed bitterly as Primera joked. Unexpectedly, it might be becoming a teppanyaki joke inside the primera. Well, even if you ignore nursing care every now and then, because women usually take baths together, it might be a feeling that if you try Jeanne, she helped you get into the bath together. However, Aina said, “It’s only natural as a maid.”
Just talking to Primera a little bit…..
“Chris, look over there. There’s the healing Chris was looking for.”
“That’s right, Chris.” That’s the best healing! ”
Huh? Is Shilomaru back?
I heard a conversation that made me feel uncomfortable. It wasn’t too far away, so it was loud enough to hear without concentrating, but Primera and Jeanne didn’t notice because they were just talking.
“Oh my God, there’s no Shilomaru.”
“Chris, I see things differently.”
“That’s right. The best healing is over there… there’s a (…) different mix of people now, but isn’t that the best healing?”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
As long as she kept talking loudly to Fluxstone, Primera and Jeanne, who hadn’t noticed it before, would have noticed it as well. At the same time, it seemed to me that it was going to be a nuisance.
”Hah ~… why don’t you notice… but it’s very likely that you’re trying not to notice”
“Right. No, no, no, no. Chris’s eyes seem to have a hole.”
If you can’t go that far, you’re starting to get angry even if you don’t know what it means, and Chris’s atmosphere is getting a little steeper.
“Chris, look closely again.”
“What do you see?”
“Temma-kun and Primera… and then Jeanne”
“Yes! Temma and Primera!” Jeanne has nothing to do with it this time… but you can forget about it now. ”
“Temma-sama and Primera-sama… exactly, Temma-sama and Primera-sama who are pregnant!” That is the symbol of the happiness of the Otori family! ”
A mysterious phenomenon that is too happy and has a healing effect around it!
Doesn’t Chris feel that aura of healing and happiness?
Amur and Aura stir up Chris as if they had forgotten to add to or subtract from him in a long time. That’s enough that you don’t even notice Chris’s change anymore…..
“Primera, staying here could have a negative impact on your baby’s stomach. Shall we go back to your room?”
“I see… I’ll leave it to Amur and Aura to deal with Chris.” Jeanne, we haven’t talked enough, so why don’t you come with us? ”
“I’ll be joining you!”
Primera and I evacuated Jeanne to the second floor and decided to turn our backs on the upcoming struggle.
Then, as I thought, Chris’s anger exploded, and the Otori family became a frenzy for a long time. By the way, Aura was caught and sanctioned by Chris early on, but Amur made time to run and fight back, and survived to his grandfather’s return. In addition, Aina, who had come to see Primera after being told by Maria-sama, also returned at the same time as Grandpa, so Chris and the others were all three angry for a long time.
