After sending off Celia-san and Flosche-san, I headed back to Volzard to ask the garrison to accept them, then headed for the Self-Defense Force's Nerima garrison.
After I received the iron, I had planned to deliver it to Barshania and then return to Volzard, but there were hardly any people in the Investigation Headquarters yet.
The hands of the clock hanging on the wall showed just past seven o'clock in the morning.
I vaguely felt that there was a time difference between Volzard and Japan.
When I said time difference, it meant that there was a difference in the length of a day, not the time difference between Japan and America or Japan and Europe.
Looking back, on the day we were summoned, we were summoned from Tokyo in the middle of the day to the wasteland in the middle of the night.
However, when I returned to Japan the first time, I didn't feel much of a time difference.
Intuitively, I felt that a day in Volzard was shorter than a day on Earth.
For the time being, it would be a waste to waste time idly in the morning, so I decided to call out to the member of the Self-Defense Force who was leaving early and collect information on the internet until Kajikawa-san and the others came to work.
I called out to the Self-Defense Force member who was wiping and cleaning the desks.
"Umm ... Good morning ..."
"Who is it!"
"Hii ... I, I'm Kokubu Kento!"
I thought I was being considerate when I called out to them, but I was horrified when they shouted at me.
"I apologize for that. It's quite early."
"Yes, there seems to be a slight time difference between here and there."
"I see ... A time difference, is it."
"So, I'd like to browse the internet for a while ..."
"Yes, then, please use this computer."
The Self-Defense Force member started up a computer that seemed to be shared.
As expected of the Self-Defense Force, the line speed is fast and works smoothly.(TN:Apparently talking about the internet connection.)
When I looked at the news sites of famous places, I could see a lot of topics about Kizawa-san.
Also, there is writing about calls from another world ... It seemed it was awkward to have connected all of a sudden.
I was surprised when I suddenly received a phone call from a family member who was supposed to be in another world. It cut off in about an hour, and I am rather worried ... There was a comment saying such.
On the other hand, getting a phone call was weird. Actually they didn't go to another world, but they were confined somewhere on Earth ... Some people say that.
Well, just being in another world was unrealistic, but having a phone call was even more out of the ordinary.
But, I don't think it would be a bad thing to be able to contact them, so I'll start making communication golems quickly.
An article about Sekiguchi-san's suicide was added to Kizawa-san's blog.
After being rescued from Lastock and arriving in Volzard, there were many people who, although their lives were no longer in danger, could not get used to life in another world.
Kizawa-san herself wrote that she did not know when she would be able to return to Japan, and that even if she could return, she felt a great deal of anxiety about whether she would be able to return to her former life, and that she had accumulated stress.
Sekiguchi-san's suicide was regrettable, and I pray that everyone can return to Japan as soon as possible, but at the same time, when I returned, I was under a heavy burden, It is inevitable that it would take some time, was written.
I was a little surprised because the comment was too much like an honor student.
Judging from Kizawa-san's demeanor when she was in Volzard, I thought she would criticize me, so to be honest, I was surprised and a little scared of what would happen next.
On her blog, she said that her experience in the other world changed her, but she didn't seem to have changed until just before her return.
Hey, even though you were feeling anxious and stressed, you readied videos and notes.
Furthermore, when I followed the link on the news site and read related articles, I was approached from behind.
"Hey, Kokubu-kun, you're early."
"Ah, Kajikawa-san, good morning."
"It's quite early, but is it about yesterday's phone call?"
"No, there seems to be a time difference between Japan and Volzard."
"That's right, right, it's not strange that there's a time difference."
"Yes, but, it seems that the length of the day is different rather than an overseas time difference."
"Ah, I see ... It's not Earth, is it. I didn't even think about the difference in the length of the day."
Kajikawa-san nodded when I told him that when I was summoned to Resenburg, it suddenly changed from daytime to midnight, and now it seemed that time had rewound a little.
"So, Kokubu-kun, what happened with the phone last night?"
"Yes, actually ..."
When I explained the shield of darkness and the shadow space, he nodded once again.
"So, in the current situation, Kokubu-kun is using magic to receive radio waves, right?"
"Yes, I am."
"In other words, Kokubu-kun, even if you're in that world, you can make phone calls freely."
"That's right. It's possible because it's my timing to send them, but it's difficult to receive them because I don't know when they will come."
"Is it easier for Kokubu-kun to come over here or just open the window and call me?"
"Well ... It's not a burden for me to move myself, so it won't change."
"I see ... But, it's amazing that you can move at the same level as radio waves."
"If you look at it like that, that's true."
It seemed that there was still some time before the rebar arrived, so I asked Kajikawa-san to provide some equipment.
"Kajikawa-san, can you prepare cameras that can be used for voyeurism?"
"Kokubu-kun, even though you can use your special ability, it doesn't impress me to use it for your personal desires ..."
"No, no, I'm not going to voyeur the bathroom, I'm thinking of using it as evidence to settle the internal conflict in Resenburg."
What I was thinking of spying on was Havre Calvine's camp.
Even when he declared the takeover of Resenburg, it would have been irrefutable proof if I had secretly filmed it, but since I couldn't do that, this time, I decided that I would keep track of what he was planning to do after receiving the news from Camilla.
Of course, no matter what strategy he came up with, I was going to crush him, but if he didn't come by force, but by tactics, if I didn't have evidence, it could be dismissed as an accusation.
When I told Kajikawa-san, he said he would prepare it right away.
"Kokubu-kun, we will prepare the equipment for voyeurism and eavesdropping, but there is no need to ask what the Japanese government is using it for."
"Yes, I have no intention of sticking my head into that."
"I mean, if you ask Kokubu-kun to do something like intelligence, you're invincible. You can get in anywhere."
"But in Japan, voyeurism is a crime, and won't it not be accepted as evidence in court?"
"Well, that's true for criminal investigations, but for espionage, knowing is the most important thing."
Even if the method was considered illegal in Japan, in Resenburg, it would be astounding as evidence based on overtechnology.
If Havre Calvine plotted more evil after his original plan failed, it was only a matter of suppressing the evidence and condemning him.
"Kokubu-kun, are you planning to carry the rebars as soon as they arrive?"
"Yes, I plan to bring them all into the shadow storage and deliver them to Barshania and Volzard in that order."
"Then, it doesn't matter if it is at that time, but since the vice minister of foreign affairs wants to pay a courtesy visit to the Lord of Volzard, could you please tell me what time is good?"
"Of course, you'll need an interpreter, right?"
"Yes, can you please ask a teacher?"
"I'll ask ... Rather, I'll ask them to make a plan."
The Japanese government seemed to have chosen Volzard as its base, as it had created the most amicable situation with the resource development in mind.
It seemed that the materials brought in for resource development would also be used to support the classmates who remained in Volzard at the same time.
"Currently, we are completely dependent on Kokubu-kun for travel between Japan and Volzard, but it seemed that it was decided to proceed with research so that we can travel on our own."
"Eh, you're going to proceed with the research ..."
The words, guinea pig, came to mind.
"It's okay, Kokubu-kun is the cornerstone of the plan, so we won't treat you like an experimental animal."
"Are you sure it's okay?"
"It's okay. I'll ask you to cooperate with things like physical examinations a few times, but I won't let them do anything dangerous."
If it reduced the burden as a result, I welcomed it, but shadow movement was not a magic that used spells, and the shadow space I used for movement currently belonged to me.
Even if they were able to construct a new shadow space, I didn't think it would go well because of the mountain of problems, such as how to set Volzard's coordinates and how to twist the laws of physics.
While I was talking with Kajikawa-san, he got a message that the rebar had arrived, so they used a crane to unload them from the truck to the back of the barracks.
"Kokubu-kun, these rebars are D10 standard, 5.5 meters long, and weigh about 3 kilograms, each bundle is 50 rebars, and there are 20 bundles, I've prepared one thousand total."
"Understood. Thank you."
I put out a shield of darkness next to the piled up rebars and had everyone in the Kobold Corps carry them.
The Kobolds, who were less than 140 centimeters tall, formed pairs and carried bundles of rebar.
At first, the SDF personnel who were watching were so surprised that I thought their eyes would fall out, but after that, they looked relieved at the performance of the Kobold Corps.
I planned to deliver 300 rebars in 6 bundles to Barshania and the rest to Volzard.
"Then, after carrying them, I'll ask Klaus-san when it's convenient and come back."
"Thank you very much. By that time, I think the cameras and other equipment will have arrived."
"I understand. Well then, I'll go there for a while."
The Kobold and Kent courier service would first depart for Barshania.
When I headed to Chowsk, the gateway to the desert, the Barshanian soldiers were training at the garrison.
Don, Don, the sound of drums resounded, and it seemed that they were training to advance in formation according to the tempo and the way it was beat.
Constant and the other members of the Imperial Family watched over the soldiers from the masonry stage.
Constant sat on the floor in the center, with Gregory in front of him on the right, Nicolae in front of him on the left, and Seraphima directly on his left side.(TN:Guessing only Constant and maybe Sera are sitting while Gregory and Nicolae are standing?)
In front of the stage, the stopped soldiers were glaring at each other.
The numbers were about 2,000 versus 2,000, totaling 4,000.
Constant nodded back at Gregory who glanced at him.
Facing the front, Gregory pulled out the sword from his waist and raised it high toward the sky, the sound of the drum stopped, and a tense silence descended upon the surroundings.
As the sunlight scattered and the sword was swung down, the armies facing each other began to charge while roaring.
The soldiers of both armies carried long spears that were likely to be over 4 meters long.
Of course, they were wooden spears used for training, and the tips were wrapped in rolled cloth, but the sight of so many strong soldiers clashing with each other was overwhelming.
Each group of soldiers seemed to be led by a person who seemed to be a captain, and the formation changed according to their instructions.
The group on the left changed its formation so that it was concentrated in the center, and the group attacking from the right moved its formation to encircle them.
Taking advantage of the momentum of the left group gathering together, the right group seemed to complete the siege at once, but a counterattack started immediately.
The soldiers in the left group rushed forwards like if a compressed ball burst and the internal pressure was released.
The soldiers in the left group who rushed forward like wedges pushed forward from behind, and the soldiers who became new wedges rushed in from the inside.
The siege of the right group was finally broken by a rush that was like a spear that was thrust repeatedly, and the match ended in victory for the left group.
When Nikolae launched a fireball to signal the end of the battle, the tense atmosphere in the training ground eased.
Constant nodded with satisfaction while sitting on the floor.
Perhaps the losing group on the right was also at a satisfactory level in terms of movement.
Gregory and Nikolae also looked at each other and nodded.
"It's amazing power ... If this army attacks, Resenburg will suffer great damage."
When I put out a shield of darkness on the right rear of Constant and came out to the front and called out, the escort soldiers tried to confront me, but since they were dealing with Reinhardt on the right, and Fred on the left, they couldn't step in carelessly.
Constant, who turned around with plenty of composure, wrinkled his eyebrows and glared at me.
"Hmph, what's the matter, Volzard brat? If you ask me to reduce the amount of iron, I'll refuse."
"The iron is ready, so I'm sorry to bother you."
"What do you mean, you already have fifty corads of iron?"
"Yes, where shall I put it?"
"Nuu ... Put it below the stage."
Constant pointed with his chin to indicate the location.
Under the designated stage, I put out a shield of darkness and had the Kobolds carry bundles of rebar.
"Stop! Don't mess with them!"
Among the soldiers who saw the Kobolds, there were some who raised their spears in an attempt to avenge their insomnia, but when Gregory yelled at them, they quietly retreated.
Nikolae jumped off the stage lightly, approached the bundles of rebars that had been brought out, and after taking a close look at them, gave instructions to his subordinates.
"Hey, call someone who can appraise!"
"Yes!"
One of the soldiers ran out of the training ground.
After the Kobolds finished transporting the rebars, they gave the Barshanian soldiers a Resenburg salute and returned into the shield of darkness.
Seeing the Kobolds salute, the soldiers made a commotion and groaned.
Seraphima looked at the rebars that were carried out and me alternately, and gave Constant a look as if to say something.
She was annoyed at what Constant had said.
"Hmph ... Something like a monster ..."
"Does the Barshanian Emperor look down on the soldiers of other countries who show respect?"
"What's wrong with calling a monster a monster."
"I don't mind them being called monsters, but I don't like them being looked down on as monsters."
"Hou, what if I don't like it? Shall we have a fight?"
"Do you think that the soldiers of Barshania will be a match for my genus?"
"Don't speak and make fun of us, brat ..."
Behind Constant, who threatened with a low voice, Gregory was also putting his hand on the hilt of his sword.
On the other hand, Reinhardt and Fred, who were standing next to me, hadn't even made a gesture to touch their beloved swords yet.
It was Seraphima who broke the tense atmosphere.
"Father, this is my father's fault. Kokubu Kent-sama, I apologize for my father."
"No, I acted immaturely. I'm sorry ..."
When Seraphima bowed her head sharply, I had no choice but to pull back.
Hey, the idiot parent pouts his lips, it's not cute at all even if you try to be persistent.
At that time, I heard a nervous voice from below the stage.
"I'm sorry, what you have here is definitely iron. But ..."
"But what? Tell me."
"Yes, I think it's iron with a terrifyingly high purity. It's so pure it's incomparable to Kilia's iron ..."
The eyes of everyone present focused on me.
Yeah, it's a pretty scary situation, but I have to make sure I don't show it.
"Brat, where did you get this iron? Volzard has that high of mining and refining technology?"
"No, this iron isn't from Volzard."
"Then, where is it from? It's not from Resenburg?"
"No, this iron is from another world."
"From another world ...?"
Constant averted the gaze that had been glaring at me until then, but both Gregory and Seraphima, who were looking at me, simply shook their heads.
"I am a person from another world summoned by Camilla Resenburg."
"What kind of nonsense ..."
"Then, you say that there is another reason for the purity of that iron?"
"Nuu ..."
Constant pursed his mouth like the 'へ' character.
Seraphima asked on behalf of the silent Constant.
"Kent-sama, would it be possible for you to pass on that refining technology to Barshania?"
"It would be difficult right away, but if I take my time, it's possible. To do that, I would like to have a more friendly discussion, how about it?"
"Father, do you have any objections?"
Seraphima also reminded him, and Constant nodded reluctantly.
"Gregory, begin preparations to withdraw from the army with Nikolae. I will return to the palace."
"Yes, leave the rest to me ..."
"Kokubu Kent, follow me."
Constant took the lead and began striding towards the palace.
"Kent-sama, I will guide you."
"Ah, yes, thank you ..."
The smile of Seraphima, who casually snuggled up to me, was full of royalty-like elegance, and she looked different from Meisa-chan, the only daughter of the boarding house.
Her clear expression made her look mature for her age, and her loose clothes ...
"Kent-sama, aren't you thinking of something rude?"
"N, no. No way ..."
Fuu ... I'm the type that shows my thoughts on my face, so I have to careful.
"Kent-sama?"
"Ah, umm ... I'm sorry ..."
Even if you have a graceful smile, it's really scary if your eyes aren't smiling at all.
The talk of marriage is ...
"Kent-sama ..."
"Oh, let's hurry. The Emperor has gone first."
I can't ... I don't feel like I can escape.
In addition to Camilla, Seraphima ... I wonder how long the chairman's sermon will last ...
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

"Hey, call someone who can appraise!"
"Yes!"
One of the soldiers ran out of the training ground.
After the Kobolds finished transporting the rebars, they gave the Barshanian soldiers a Resenburg salute and returned into the shield of darkness.
Seeing the Kobolds salute, the soldiers made a commotion and groaned.
Seraphima looked at the rebars that were carried out and me alternately, and gave Constant a look as if to say something.
She was annoyed at what Constant had said.
"Hmph ... Something like a monster ..."
"Does the Barshanian Emperor look down on the soldiers of other countries who show respect?"
"What's wrong with calling a monster a monster."
"I don't mind them being called monsters, but I don't like them being looked down on as monsters."
"Hou, what if I don't like it? Shall we have a fight?"
"Do you think that the soldiers of Barshania will be a match for my genus?"
"Don't speak and make fun of us, brat ..."
Behind Constant, who threatened with a low voice, Gregory was also putting his hand on the hilt of his sword.
On the other hand, Reinhardt and Fred, who were standing next to me, hadn't even made a gesture to touch their beloved swords yet.
It was Seraphima who broke the tense atmosphere.
"Father, this is my father's fault. Kokubu Kent-sama, I apologize for my father."
"No, I acted immaturely. I'm sorry ..."
When Seraphima bowed her head sharply, I had no choice but to pull back.
Hey, the idiot parent pouts his lips, it's not cute at all even if you try to be persistent.
At that time, I heard a nervous voice from below the stage.
"I'm sorry, what you have here is definitely iron. But ..."
"But what? Tell me."
"Yes, I think it's iron with a terrifyingly high purity. It's so pure it's incomparable to Kilia's iron ..."
The eyes of everyone present focused on me.
Yeah, it's a pretty scary situation, but I have to make sure I don't show it.
"Brat, where did you get this iron? Volzard has that high of mining and refining technology?"
"No, this iron isn't from Volzard."
"Then, where is it from? It's not from Resenburg?"
"No, this iron is from another world."
"From another world ...?"
Constant averted the gaze that had been glaring at me until then, but both Gregory and Seraphima, who were looking at me, simply shook their heads.
"I am a person from another world summoned by Camilla Resenburg."
"What kind of nonsense ..."
"Then, you say that there is another reason for the purity of that iron?"
"Nuu ..."
Constant pursed his mouth like the 'へ' character.
Seraphima asked on behalf of the silent Constant.
"Kent-sama, would it be possible for you to pass on that refining technology to Barshania?"
"It would be difficult right away, but if I take my time, it's possible. To do that, I would like to have a more friendly discussion, how about it?"
"Father, do you have any objections?"
Seraphima also reminded him, and Constant nodded reluctantly.
"Gregory, begin preparations to withdraw from the army with Nikolae. I will return to the palace."
"Yes, leave the rest to me ..."
"Kokubu Kent, follow me."
Constant took the lead and began striding towards the palace.
"Kent-sama, I will guide you."
"Ah, yes, thank you ..."
The smile of Seraphima, who casually snuggled up to me, was full of royalty-like elegance, and she looked different from Meisa-chan, the only daughter of the boarding house.
Her clear expression made her look mature for her age, and her loose clothes ...
"Kent-sama, aren't you thinking of something rude?"
"N, no. No way ..."
Fuu ... I'm the type that shows my thoughts on my face, so I have to careful.
"Kent-sama?"
"Ah, umm ... I'm sorry ..."
Even if you have a graceful smile, it's really scary if your eyes aren't smiling at all.
The talk of marriage is ...
"Kent-sama ..."
"Oh, let's hurry. The Emperor has gone first."
I can't ... I don't feel like I can escape.
In addition to Camilla, Seraphima ... I wonder how long the chairman's sermon will last ...
Kobold post***---***After sending off Celia-san and Flosche-san, I headed back to Volzard to ask the garrison to accept them, then headed for the Self-Defense Force's Nerima garrison.After I received the iron, I had planned to deliver it to Barshania and then return to Volzard, but there were hardly any people in the Investigation Headquarters yet.The hands of the clock hanging on the wall showed just past seven o'clock in the morning.I vaguely felt that there was a time difference between Volzard and Japan.When I said time difference, it meant that there was a difference in the length of a day, not the time difference between Japan and America or Japan and Europe.Looking back, on the day we were summoned, we were summoned from Tokyo in the middle of the day to the wasteland in the middle of the night.However, when I returned to Japan the first time, I didn't feel much of a time difference.Intuitively, I felt that a day in Volzard was shorter than a day on Earth.For the time being, it would be a waste to waste time idly in the morning, so I decided to call out to the member of the Self-Defense Force who was leaving early and collect information on the internet until Kajikawa-san and the others came to work.I called out to the Self-Defense Force member who was wiping and cleaning the desks."Umm ... Good morning ...""Who is it!""Hii ... I, I'm Kokubu Kento!"I thought I was being considerate when I called out to them, but I was horrified when they shouted at me."I apologize for that. It's quite early.""Yes, there seems to be a slight time difference between here and there.""I see ... A time difference, is it.""So, I'd like to browse the internet for a while ...""Yes, then, please use this computer."The Self-Defense Force member started up a computer that seemed to be shared.As expected of the Self-Defense Force, the line speed is fast and works smoothly.TN:Apparently talking about the internet connection.When I looked at the news sites of famous places, I could see a lot of topics about Kizawa-san.Also, there is writing about calls from another world ... It seemed it was awkward to have connected all of a sudden.I was surprised when I suddenly received a phone call from a family member who was supposed to be in another world. It cut off in about an hour, and I am rather worried ... There was a comment saying such.On the other hand, getting a phone call was weird. Actually they didn't go to another world, but they were confined somewhere on Earth ... Some people say that.Well, just being in another world was unrealistic, but having a phone call was even more out of the ordinary.But, I don't think it would be a bad thing to be able to contact them, so I'll start making communication golems quickly.An article about Sekiguchi-san's suicide was added to Kizawa-san's blog.After being rescued from Lastock and arriving in Volzard, there were many people who, although their lives were no longer in danger, could not get used to life in another world.Kizawa-san herself wrote that she did not know when she would be able to return to Japan, and that even if she could return, she felt a great deal of anxiety about whether she would be able to return to her former life, and that she had accumulated stress.Sekiguchi-san's suicide was regrettable, and I pray that everyone can return to Japan as soon as possible, but at the same time, when I returned, I was under a heavy burden, It is inevitable that it would take some time, was written.I was a little surprised because the comment was too much like an honor student.Judging from Kizawa-san's demeanor when she was in Volzard, I thought she would criticize me, so to be honest, I was surprised and a little scared of what would happen next.On her blog, she said that her experience in the other world changed her, but she didn't seem to have changed until just before her return.Hey, even though you were feeling anxious and stressed, you readied videos and notes.Furthermore, when I followed the link on the news site and read related articles, I was approached from behind."Hey, Kokubu-kun, you're early.""Ah, Kajikawa-san, good morning.""It's quite early, but is it about yesterday's phone call?""No, there seems to be a time difference between Japan and Volzard.""That's right, right, it's not strange that there's a time difference.""Yes, but, it seems that the length of the day is different rather than an overseas time difference.""Ah, I see ... It's not Earth, is it. I didn't even think about the difference in the length of the day."Kajikawa-san nodded when I told him that when I was summoned to Resenburg, it suddenly changed from daytime to midnight, and now it seemed that time had rewound a little."So, Kokubu-kun, what happened with the phone last night?""Yes, actually ..."When I explained the shield of darkness and the shadow space, he nodded once again."So, in the current situation, Kokubu-kun is using magic to receive radio waves, right?""Yes, I am.""In other words, Kokubu-kun, even if you're in that world, you can make phone calls freely.""That's right. It's possible because it's my timing to send them, but it's difficult to receive them because I don't know when they will come.""Is it easier for Kokubu-kun to come over here or just open the window and call me?""Well ... It's not a burden for me to move myself, so it won't change.""I see ... But, it's amazing that you can move at the same level as radio waves.""If you look at it like that, that's true."It seemed that there was still some time before the rebar arrived, so I asked Kajikawa-san to provide some equipment."Kajikawa-san, can you prepare cameras that can be used for voyeurism?""Kokubu-kun, even though you can use your special ability, it doesn't impress me to use it for your personal desires ...""No, no, I'm not going to voyeur the bathroom, I'm thinking of using it as evidence to settle the internal conflict in Resenburg."What I was thinking of spying on was Havre Calvine's camp.Even when he declared the takeover of Resenburg, it would have been irrefutable proof if I had secretly filmed it, but since I couldn't do that, this time, I decided that I would keep track of what he was planning to do after receiving the news from Camilla.Of course, no matter what strategy he came up with, I was going to crush him, but if he didn't come by force, but by tactics, if I didn't have evidence, it could be dismissed as an accusation.When I told Kajikawa-san, he said he would prepare it right away."Kokubu-kun, we will prepare the equipment for voyeurism and eavesdropping, but there is no need to ask what the Japanese government is using it for.""Yes, I have no intention of sticking my head into that.""I mean, if you ask Kokubu-kun to do something like intelligence, you're invincible. You can get in anywhere.""But in Japan, voyeurism is a crime, and won't it not be accepted as evidence in court?""Well, that's true for criminal investigations, but for espionage, knowing is the most important thing."Even if the method was considered illegal in Japan, in Resenburg, it would be astounding as evidence based on overtechnology.If Havre Calvine plotted more evil after his original plan failed, it was only a matter of suppressing the evidence and condemning him."Kokubu-kun, are you planning to carry the rebars as soon as they arrive?""Yes, I plan to bring them all into the shadow storage and deliver them to Barshania and Volzard in that order.""Then, it doesn't matter if it is at that time, but since the vice minister of foreign affairs wants to pay a courtesy visit to the Lord of Volzard, could you please tell me what time is good?""Of course, you'll need an interpreter, right?""Yes, can you please ask a teacher?""I'll ask ... Rather, I'll ask them to make a plan."The Japanese government seemed to have chosen Volzard as its base, as it had created the most amicable situation with the resource development in mind.It seemed that the materials brought in for resource development would also be used to support the classmates who remained in Volzard at the same time."Currently, we are completely dependent on Kokubu-kun for travel between Japan and Volzard, but it seemed that it was decided to proceed with research so that we can travel on our own.""Eh, you're going to proceed with the research ..."The words, guinea pig, came to mind."It's okay, Kokubu-kun is the cornerstone of the plan, so we won't treat you like an experimental animal.""Are you sure it's okay?""It's okay. I'll ask you to cooperate with things like physical examinations a few times, but I won't let them do anything dangerous."If it reduced the burden as a result, I welcomed it, but shadow movement was not a magic that used spells, and the shadow space I used for movement currently belonged to me.Even if they were able to construct a new shadow space, I didn't think it would go well because of the mountain of problems, such as how to set Volzard's coordinates and how to twist the laws of physics.While I was talking with Kajikawa-san, he got a message that the rebar had arrived, so they used a crane to unload them from the truck to the back of the barracks."Kokubu-kun, these rebars are D10 standard, 5.5 meters long, and weigh about 3 kilograms, each bundle is 50 rebars, and there are 20 bundles, I've prepared one thousand total.""Understood. Thank you."I put out a shield of darkness next to the piled up rebars and had everyone in the Kobold Corps carry them.The Kobolds, who were less than 140 centimeters tall, formed pairs and carried bundles of rebar.At first, the SDF personnel who were watching were so surprised that I thought their eyes would fall out, but after that, they looked relieved at the performance of the Kobold Corps.I planned to deliver 300 rebars in 6 bundles to Barshania and the rest to Volzard."Then, after carrying them, I'll ask Klaus-san when it's convenient and come back.""Thank you very much. By that time, I think the cameras and other equipment will have arrived.""I understand. Well then, I'll go there for a while."The Kobold and Kent courier service would first depart for Barshania.When I headed to Chowsk, the gateway to the desert, the Barshanian soldiers were training at the garrison.Don, Don, the sound of drums resounded, and it seemed that they were training to advance in formation according to the tempo and the way it was beat.Constant and the other members of the Imperial Family watched over the soldiers from the masonry stage.Constant sat on the floor in the center, with Gregory in front of him on the right, Nicolae in front of him on the left, and Seraphima directly on his left side.TN:Guessing only Constant and maybe Sera are sitting while Gregory and Nicolae are standing?In front of the stage, the stopped soldiers were glaring at each other.The numbers were about 2,000 versus 2,000, totaling 4,000.Constant nodded back at Gregory who glanced at him.Facing the front, Gregory pulled out the sword from his waist and raised it high toward the sky, the sound of the drum stopped, and a tense silence descended upon the surroundings.As the sunlight scattered and the sword was swung down, the armies facing each other began to charge while roaring.The soldiers of both armies carried long spears that were likely to be over 4 meters long.Of course, they were wooden spears used for training, and the tips were wrapped in rolled cloth, but the sight of so many strong soldiers clashing with each other was overwhelming.Each group of soldiers seemed to be led by a person who seemed to be a captain, and the formation changed according to their instructions.The group on the left changed its formation so that it was concentrated in the center, and the group attacking from the right moved its formation to encircle them.Taking advantage of the momentum of the left group gathering together, the right group seemed to complete the siege at once, but a counterattack started immediately.The soldiers in the left group rushed forwards like if a compressed ball burst and the internal pressure was released.The soldiers in the left group who rushed forward like wedges pushed forward from behind, and the soldiers who became new wedges rushed in from the inside.The siege of the right group was finally broken by a rush that was like a spear that was thrust repeatedly, and the match ended in victory for the left group.When Nikolae launched a fireball to signal the end of the battle, the tense atmosphere in the training ground eased.Constant nodded with satisfaction while sitting on the floor.Perhaps the losing group on the right was also at a satisfactory level in terms of movement.Gregory and Nikolae also looked at each other and nodded."It's amazing power ... If this army attacks, Resenburg will suffer great damage."When I put out a shield of darkness on the right rear of Constant and came out to the front and called out, the escort soldiers tried to confront me, but since they were dealing with Reinhardt on the right, and Fred on the left, they couldn't step in carelessly.Constant, who turned around with plenty of composure, wrinkled his eyebrows and glared at me."Hmph, what's the matter, Volzard brat? If you ask me to reduce the amount of iron, I'll refuse.""The iron is ready, so I'm sorry to bother you.""What do you mean, you already have fifty corads of iron?""Yes, where shall I put it?""Nuu ... Put it below the stage."Constant pointed with his chin to indicate the location.Under the designated stage, I put out a shield of darkness and had the Kobolds carry bundles of rebar."Stop! Don't mess with them!"Among the soldiers who saw the Kobolds, there were some who raised their spears in an attempt to avenge their insomnia, but when Gregory yelled at them, they quietly retreated.Nikolae jumped off the stage lightly, approached the bundles of rebars that had been brought out, and after taking a close look at them, gave instructions to his subordinates."Hey, call someone who can appraise!""Yes!"One of the soldiers ran out of the training ground.After the Kobolds finished transporting the rebars, they gave the Barshanian soldiers a Resenburg salute and returned into the shield of darkness.Seeing the Kobolds salute, the soldiers made a commotion and groaned.Seraphima looked at the rebars that were carried out and me alternately, and gave Constant a look as if to say something.She was annoyed at what Constant had said."Hmph ... Something like a monster ...""Does the Barshanian Emperor look down on the soldiers of other countries who show respect?""What's wrong with calling a monster a monster.""I don't mind them being called monsters, but I don't like them being looked down on as monsters.""Hou, what if I don't like it?
