The day after I got in touch with the teachers, I went to the guild first.
This is because all of the girls asked Manon to help them find a job earlier in the week and left it at that.
I think it's okay after the boys caused such a ruckus, but I'm worried about leaving it unattended, so I decided to keep an eye on it, including the progress along the way.
The front of the board is still very crowded this morning, and it seems that no girls are willing to rush into this place with a quarry.
Yeah, as usual, Ridnell and the others are getting rubbed out, but they never learn.....
There were girls from my classmates by the wall, away from the bulletin board.
Today, there are the Bumpy Sisters, and Manon seems to be in the center of everyone's attention, being asked a lot of questions.
The light blue short hair stands out among the group of black hair.
I don't know what they're asking me about, but Manon blushing and awkwardly blushing is so cute and so soothing.
When Manon noticed me and gave a small wave, all of the girls' gazes were directed at me at once.
When the girls turned around with a grin as if they were making a grisly sound, when they saw me, they smiled with a grin and left Manon in the center, and quickly took their distance to both sides.
Some of them even beckoned to me to come in, but it's hard to get close.
'Oh, good morning, Kent.
Good morning Manon.
As I awkwardly approached through the warm, raw gaze, I could hear all the girls whispering.
'Kisses, I'm going to kiss you good morning,'
Silly me, I'm gonna start with a hug, squeezing, squeezing...
No, no, no, no, I'm not nerve-wrackingly brazen enough to perform under such an expectant gaze.
I mean, Manon? Why are you turning bright red and closing your eyes?
I gently hugged Manon, who was trembling a bit, and kissed her on the cheek.
''Hee hee, you're hot since morning........''
Really, why is it that mornings in Volzard are so hot... hey!
It's hazed, I've been so hazed all morning.
I hurriedly release the hug, but Manon is grabbing my shirt tightly and I can't get away from him.
I mean, that kind of gesture is foul, it makes me want to hug him again.
'Kent you don't smell like Beatrice today...'
'Well, yeah, I haven't seen you today.
Well, thank goodness...
'Well, um ... so, what's everyone's job like?'
I tried to change the topic without that, but the Uneven Sisters gave me the wrong idea.
'Totally Kokubun, why do you talk so quickly about something that has no atmosphere...'
'Yes, Tomo-chan is right, you should have hugged me more.
No, no, no, guys, look, you know, I think I need to get a job and...
I tried to change the subject somehow, but this time Sagara and Motomiya-san ran into me from the other side.
'We can't look for a job with that crowd yet, and Manon will take care of us, so we'll be fine.
Really, I am super, super grateful to Manon. You've worked so hard on this, so why don't you just give it to Manon?
Manon explained in detail what the job entailed, gave us directions to the workplace, introduced us to the people at the job, and explained the situation, so everyone was able to experience the job smoothly.
'Come on, Kokubun, why don't you stay here and live happily with Manon?
Yeah, yeah, Tomo-chan's right.
All of you are nodding at the words of the Bumpy Sisters.
Manon is turning bright red and looking down, but I think his mouth is a bit nihilistic and loose.
''No, it's not decided that we can go home yet, and we haven't finished rescuing everyone else...''
Speaking of which, I heard that you're flirting with Tadaka too, Kokubun-kun?
Manon's here and they're sainted, Kokubun, sainted!
No, no, no, because even the chairman of the committee was working so hard that he collapsed all by himself... ouch.
Sagara-san said something so unnecessary that the jit-eyed Manon pinched me in the side.
Manon, when did you get everyone on your side?
But for now, I was relieved to see that the girls here seemed to be working fine, but I knew there weren't enough of them.
'Oh, speaking of which, where are the rest of them?
Everyone's expressions clouded over as soon as they heard it.
''Ah........I'm sorry for Kokubun, but maybe not for Sumika and the others.......''
'Yeah, the riding was only for one day, and then...'
Kizawa Sumika's group was still reluctant to clean the stalls and brush the horses during the riding experience, and at the end of that day's training, she was declared not to participate anymore.
'So what are you doing now then?'
'You weren't up when we came out, and I'm guessing you're gathering around and goofing off.
'I think they got together and talked until midnight last night, so I guess they couldn't get up.
You're not in any trouble...?
'Oh, I think that's okay, because unlike Takayama and the others, I'm pretty good at getting around.
According to Mr. Kobayashi, he doesn't complain or try to do anything he doesn't like, but he's wise enough to keep his distance or stay out of the way with someone who is troublesome if he disobeys.
It just might make a bad impression on us...
Mr. Sakurai says that even if he doesn't do anything to cause a ruckus like the boys do, his sarcastic attitude and mannerisms make people around him dislike him.......
That being said, I've seen him face to face a few times in the past when I've been explaining things to him, but he hasn't been very agreeable to me.
'All right, I'll go ask the guard for a favor after this, and we'll see how it goes then. You all do what you can.
What are you going to ask for, please?
Are the rest of us going to help them too?
Not only Sagara-san and Motomiya-san, but everyone seemed very interested in the project, so I told them briefly about the plan.
My attendants said they will be clearing the area around the road and clearing the roads today, and I was able to get in touch with the teachers, so things are going well for now. Maybe by noon on the day of light, I can get everyone there.
All of the girls held hands and rejoiced when they found out that the rescue mission was progressing in a concrete way.
'Thank goodness I was worried about everyone who stayed behind.
Well, if the doctor is coming, why don't we just leave Kizawa-san and the others to him?
'But wouldn't you be extraordinarily repulsed if the teacher warned you about your current situation?
'Oh that could be it...'
It's true that when I was in Japan, I would have had the backing of the school authority, but in this world, the teacher is also the one who is involved in the situation in terms of position, so if you're not careful, you might get a backlash.
While we were talking about this, the front of the board started to open up, so all the girls headed off to find work for the day.
'Manon, thank you for taking care of everyone,'
No, it's the least I can do...
I should really be the one to do it but you're really helping me out, thank you.
'I'd be happy if it helped Kent in any way....
I couldn't help but hug Manon softly, loving her with a shy smile on her face.
''Manon........''
"Kent I see everyone is watching...
What...?
Next thing you know, everyone who should have gone looking for a job is back and surrounded by grinning eyes.
So, the pressure of that ickiness is....
Kent....
'Oh no! Deal? Have you decided on Manon already?
'Shit, what are we going to do about that red-haired girl?
Where's Yuuka, by the way? What's going on with you and Yuuka?
I gave in to the pressure, or perhaps I couldn't resist my personal desire, and I gave Manon another hug.
Naturally, all of the girls were in an uproar, and perhaps because of hearing the names of Beatrice and the chairperson, Manon also hugged me sizzling.
''I won't lose.......''
It's bad, I've already thrown out my classmates and everything and I want to run away somewhere with Manon.
'Kent you're busy today, aren't you?
Uh, yeah...
I hope I can take it slow soon...
'Yeah...'
Oh, can't we really just throw out all the troublesome things and everything?
'Hey, Kokubun I think it's time for you to let Manon go...'
Tomochan, that's just tactless.
But, A-chan, a lot of things will go wrong without Manon and me...
That's right, too...
As I unclasped my arms to shake off my regrets, Manon let go of my body for a moment and stared into my eyes.
'Okay, Kent, I'll be off.
Yes, please.
With bouncy steps, Manon walked over to all the girls.
All of the girls are making a lot of noise around Manon, making a lot of noise and giving me warm looks as well.
Yeah, it's kind of like they're filling the outer moat.
The group that's coming to the guild to look for work seems to be fine, so let's check on the Kizawa group while I go to ask the guards for a favor.
The chairman said that if I tell them directly, it's going to cause more trouble, but in some cases, I have to tell them.
That's why I visited the quarters, but there was no answer when I called out to them.
I peeked in from the world of the shadows to see if he was still sleeping, but there was no sign of him in the quarters.
I went to the mess hall to see if he was asleep, but I heard some kind of noisy voice.
We're cooking a meal for everyone in the squad, not for you. What are you talking about, coming here now?
'Oh, my God! I'm paying for food and accommodation and the service is too bad...
'We're not an inn, we're just accepting them because they don't have anywhere else to go, and if you don't want to go, then get out.'
'Oh, my God! Take your money and don't be silly, get on with making your meal!
Apparently, Kizawa Sumika's group, who overslept, didn't make it to breakfast on time.
The garrison's cafeteria has fixed times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
If it's at the last minute, they will be flexible, but it seems that quite a bit of time has passed since breakfast time ended and the kitchen has finished cleaning up.
I was about to step into the cafeteria when I heard a voice from behind me saying, "You're making a lot of noise.
'It's so noisy, what's going on?'
When I turned around, my eyes were met by a red-haired bunny ears.
It's Marianne-san, the general commander, dressed neatly in her garrison uniform.
''Oh, good morning, Marianne-san,''
Good morning, Mr. Kent. So, what's this all about?
''Well I just got here myself, so I don't know much about it...''
Kizawa Sumika and the rest of the group have blatantly unhappy faces.
''Hey Kokubun, we can't even get a meal ready for you, what's going on?''
I'm being treated badly...
You better be prepared for this, because it's really useless...
Ugh I hate it when people think this is the standard in our world, too much.
You don't think about how ugly we look with our mouths twisted up in a grumpy way.
'Manuela, what's going on here?'
At Marianne's request, the diner lady explained that breakfast was long over and that she had already finished cleaning up the kitchen.
''I didn't ask for a time limit...''
Yes, we pay for it.
No, you've been saying you're paying me, but I'm the one who's paying you.
'Okay, well, if you didn't ask me about the mealtime, I don't blame you. Manuela, make him something to tie you up until lunch.
Okay.....
I'm sorry to put you through all this.
Manuela-san seemed reluctant, but she started to prepare the meal for the Kizawa group.
I couldn't help but apologize, but Kizawa Sumika and the others look like they deserved it.
''Auntie, you're pretty good at talking...''
'Hey, Marianne, you're the captain of the garrison, and you're the wife of the lord, Klaus, so don't be rude.
'Hmmm ... yeah ...'
Yeah, I see what you were saying, Sakurai-san.
This attitude is, frankly, annoying.
By the way, Kent-san, you're not all here, are you? What about the rest of you?
Oh, yes, I'm working for the guild looking for a job.
Oh, right. So, what about you guys over here?
'Well ... well ...'
The Kizawa Group members who were grinning when they found out they could get a meal, turned into a sullen, ugly face as soon as the subject of work came up.
''I mean... why do we have to work...?''
Yes, we were the victims of a crime...
'I mean, Kokubun can't go in anywhere, right? Get the money out of their vault.
Yes, you're being treated so badly, spend more money...
I can't help but want to punch him, and I'm ashamed to show such an ugly face in front of Marianne-san.
That Marianne-san is neither dumbfounded nor angry, but is listening to the conversation while maintaining her composure.
'Well, since it looks like you're ready to eat, let's continue the conversation while you eat. Manuela, could you get some tea for me and Kent-san, too?
For me, I wanted to walk away now that the commotion was over, but I didn't think I could just leave it all to Marianne-san, did I?
The Kizawa group was sitting at a long table in the cafeteria with four of us facing each other, and Marianne and I were sitting at the far end facing each other.
Kent-san, how is the rescue mission going?
Yes, oh, I need to ask you a favor about that...
The timing was perfect, so I asked if I could borrow the stable and carriage.
'It's a small price to pay, so tomorrow is fine? Even so, to let a demon tow you, even though you're a member of the family, is....
'Yes, at first I was going to select a rescue team from my friends and come back in the carriage we took...'
When I explained that we were not used to handling horses, that it would take a lot of time to prepare the carriage, and that the Military would be able to move to Rustock at once by shadow transfer, Marianne-san nodded her head in agreement.
''And, in the meantime, I plan to put the Riesenburg knights to sleep, but I'm afraid we'll encounter danger if we participate, so I've decided not to let my companions participate.
'I see, but from what I've heard, isn't Mr. Kent the only one struggling?
Huh, but I happen to have the power, so I guess I have no choice...
The Kizawa group seems to be curious about the rescue mission, and they are listening in while glancing at each other.
"I mean, if you've got that kind of ability, you should come and rescue me sooner!
Yeah, yeah, you've been flirting with your girlfriend over here.
"I mean, I heard you went to the girls' baths in Rastock, you piece of shit!
You're messing with Asakawa too, aren't you, Sci-Tech...
I don't know if they think I can't touch her in front of Marianne, or if she's fundamentally licked me, but my clenched fist trembles under the table when she says whatever she wants.
I can't help but notice that Kent-san is quite windy, isn't he? Would you all be okay with Kent-san's disappearance?
With a feeling that the stinging air was a breeze, Kizawa Sumika and the others looked at each other at Marianne's words that were released with a relieved smile.
I don't have any intention of going anywhere myself, and no one seems to think that such a thing will not happen, so no one tries to answer.
I don't know about your world, so I'll use Volzard's standards. You all understand that Mr. Kent is now very important to Volzard, don't you?
The Kizawa Group members all nodded in response to Marianne's question.
''Being important means you have that much talent, and even if you're not Volzard, Kent-san can live without any problems.
Marianne broke off and looked around the room.
'That means that Mr. Kent will not suffer any inconvenience by abandoning you all and disappearing, but on the other hand, will you all be okay with Mr. Kent's disappearance?'
Seven people's eyes were drawn to the tall girl who looked victorious, so she must be Kizawa Sumika.
Yeah, her style is........modest type.
''I mean, that's not allowed........''
'Well, Mr. Kent's character would never leave you all behind. But, you see, you never know when you're going to die, do you? You've lost one of your friends, haven't you?
What Marianne-san is talking about is probably what someone told her about Funayama.
When confronted with the fact that there was an actual dead classmate, Kizawa and the others fell silent.
It's a good thing that you have a powerful family member as your bodyguard, so you won't be putting your life in danger so much. But that doesn't guarantee that you are absolutely safe, that you won't die, that you won't disappear.......
The eight of you have a subtle mixture of frustration and anxiety on your faces.
''I suppose it's only natural for you all to feel frustrated when you suddenly find yourself in a situation you didn't even hope for. I just don't think you all are prepared for it right now.
You want us to work for you?
Marianne smiled smugly before answering when Sumika Kizawa asked her with a mouthful of frustration, ''I'm not asking you to work.
''I'm not asking you to simply work. I'm saying let's start preparing for independence........
Marianne began to talk again about the situation of our age in the city of Volzard.
In Volzard," she said, "when people are your age, they start to become independent from their parents. Whether you want to work or study further, you decide for yourselves and set out on your own path. Some of you get married, get a house and have children at your age.
But... we're not from here...
Well, maybe it's not quite the same world you all were in. But when can you guys get back to your world?
When did you do that, Kokubun?
'If we're going to rescue everyone and start negotiating right away and we're going to be able to get back soon, a week or so... but there's so much we don't know at all, it's hard to know for sure...'
Marianne nodded a few times before she began to continue her story.
'If I can get back to my world soon, then there's no need to force myself to work. But if you don't know when you will be able to return, or if it will take a long time to get back, then the possibility of unforeseen events increases, and that's when you'll have to think about losing Kent-san. Wouldn't it be better to be prepared for the time when you have to live on your own, instead of simply working?
Even if Kokubun is gone, it doesn't mean that everyone else will be gone...
While saying that, Kizawa Sumika turns an anxious gaze at the other girls, and the side that is looking at her nods awkwardly.
''Right now, Volzard is making preparations for the extreme outbreak of demons. An extreme outbreak is a situation where demons in the thousands or tens of thousands of units are rushing in, and there's been a lot of damage in the past. Right now, we've been working on the city walls and evacuation centers, and Kent-san is here, so the damage may not be as bad as it was in the past, but if a demon horde on a scale greater than we can imagine attacks, we don't know how many people will survive. If we survive in that kind of situation, will you guys be okay? You may not have anyone you can rely on.
I guess what Marianne is saying is not a threat or anything, it's just the reality of Volzard.
To those of us who lived in peaceful Japan, we tend to think it's a ridiculous thing, but we were actually attacked by demons before we came to Volzard, and it's not something we can laugh at and deny.
'From my point of view, Kent-san seems to be doing very well, but from your point of view, I guess I'm full of complaints. But it's a very fragile and dangerous situation to be depending on one person. Learn enough tricks to live with impunity when that person is gone.
With that, Marianne left her seat.
'Whenever you don't know what to do, you can ask the garrison for help. Come on, Mr. Kent, aren't you busy, too?
'Oh, yes, yes, I still have a lot of preparations to do...'
With Marianne's help, I also decided to leave the dining room.
Kizawa Sumika and the others began to discuss something in whispers, but it wasn't just grumbling as before.
When they left the cafeteria, they thanked Marianne for her help.
'Um...thank you, Marianne-san,'
'Oh, it's only natural to lead the younger ones. We don't waste available people in Volzard.
That's right, in the farthest city, Volzard, human resources were precious.
''By the way, Kent-san, will you take my daughter?
What? Well ... it's ... it's ...
Oh my god, Reece, I don't think you're pushing it hard enough...
No, no, no, no, I'm too pushy and I'm in trouble because I get so much jealousy from so many places...
Isn't that because Mr. Kent isn't clear?
'Goo ... yes, but ...'
Mr. Kent....
I can't help but straighten my posture as Marianne's expression suddenly turns serious.
''Ha, yes, what is it?''
Polygamy is allowed in Landshelt, you see.
'No, no ... it's not ...'
"If you can't make up your mind, declare it all yours.
Well Marianne, would you say that...
Smiling, Marianne-san smiled and went with a flutter and a wave of her hand.
I know from many people who have told me since I came to Volzard that the reason why Klaus-san, the lord, can't get a second wife or cheat on her is because Marianne-san is afraid of him.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
The day after I got in touch with the teachers, I went to the guild first.
This is because all of the girls asked Manon to help them find a job earlier in the week and left it at that.
I think it's okay after the boys caused such a ruckus, but I'm worried about leaving it unattended, so I decided to keep an eye on it, including the progress along the way.

'Kent you don't smell like Beatrice today...'
'Well, yeah, I haven't seen you today.

I tried to change the topic without that, but the Uneven Sisters gave me the wrong idea.
'Totally Kokubun, why do you talk so quickly about something that has no atmosphere...'
'Yes, Tomo-chan is right, you should have hugged me more.

I tried to change the subject somehow, but this time Sagara and Motomiya-san ran into me from the other side.
'We can't look for a job with that crowd yet, and Manon will take care of us, so we'll be fine.
Really, I am super, super grateful to Manon. You've worked so hard on this, so why don't you just give it to Manon?
Manon explained in detail what the job entailed, gave us directions to the workplace, introduced us to the people at the job, and explained the situation, so everyone was able to experience the job smoothly.
'Come on, Kokubun, why don't you stay here and live happily with Manon?

I went to the mess hall to see if he was asleep, but I heard some kind of noisy voice.
We're cooking a meal for everyone in the squad, not for you. What are you talking about, coming here now?
'Oh, my God! I'm paying for food and accommodation and the service is too bad...
'We're not an inn, we're just accepting them because they don't have anywhere else to go, and if you don't want to go, then get out.'
'Oh, my God! Take your money and don't be silly, get on with making your meal!
Apparently, Kizawa Sumika's group, who overslept, didn't make it to breakfast on time.
The garrison's cafeteria has fixed times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
If it's at the last minute, they will be flexible, but it seems that quite a bit of time has passed since breakfast time ended and the kitchen has finished cleaning up.
I was about to step into the cafeteria when I heard a voice from behind me saying, "You're making a lot of noise.
'It's so noisy, what's going on?'
When I turned around, my eyes were met by a red-haired bunny ears.
It's Marianne-san, the general commander, dressed neatly in her garrison uniform.
''Oh, good morning, Marianne-san,''
Good morning, Mr. Kent. So, what's this all about?
''Well I just got here myself, so I don't know much about it...''
Kizawa Sumika and the rest of the group have blatantly unhappy faces.
''Hey Kokubun, we can't even get a meal ready for you, what's going on?''
I'm being treated badly...
You better be prepared for this, because it's really useless...
Ugh I hate it when people think this is the standard in our world, too much.
You don't think about how ugly we look with our mouths twisted up in a grumpy way.
'Manuela, what's going on here?'
At Marianne's request, the diner lady explained that breakfast was long over and that she had already finished cleaning up the kitchen.
''I didn't ask for a time limit...''
Yes, we pay for it.
No, you've been saying you're paying me, but I'm the one who's paying you.
'Okay, well, if you didn't ask me about the mealtime, I don't blame you. Manuela, make him something to tie you up until lunch.
Okay.....
I'm sorry to put you through all this.
Manuela-san seemed reluctant, but she started to prepare the meal for the Kizawa group.
I couldn't help but apologize, but Kizawa Sumika and the others look like they deserved it.
''Auntie, you're pretty good at talking...''
'Hey, Marianne, you're the captain of the garrison, and you're the wife of the lord, Klaus, so don't be rude.
'Hmmm ... yeah ...'
Yeah, I see what you were saying, Sakurai-san.
This attitude is, frankly, annoying.
By the way, Kent-san, you're not all here, are you? What about the rest of you?
Oh, yes, I'm working for the guild looking for a job.
Oh, right. So, what about you guys over here?
'Well ... well ...'
The Kizawa Group members who were grinning when they found out they could get a meal, turned into a sullen, ugly face as soon as the subject of work came up.
''I mean... why do we have to work...?''
Yes, we were the victims of a crime...
'I mean, Kokubun can't go in anywhere, right? Get the money out of their vault.
Yes, you're being treated so badly, spend more money...
I can't help but want to punch him, and I'm ashamed to show such an ugly face in front of Marianne-san.
That Marianne-san is neither dumbfounded nor angry, but is listening to the conversation while maintaining her composure.
'Well, since it looks like you're ready to eat, let's continue the conversation while you eat. Manuela, could you get some tea for me and Kent-san, too?
For me, I wanted to walk away now that the commotion was over, but I didn't think I could just leave it all to Marianne-san, did I?
The Kizawa group was sitting at a long table in the cafeteria with four of us facing each other, and Marianne and I were sitting at the far end facing each other.
Kent-san, how is the rescue mission going?
Yes, oh, I need to ask you a favor about that...
The timing was perfect, so I asked if I could borrow the stable and carriage.
'It's a small price to pay, so tomorrow is fine? Even so, to let a demon tow you, even though you're a member of the family, is....
'Yes, at first I was going to select a rescue team from my friends and come back in the carriage we took...'
When I explained that we were not used to handling horses, that it would take a lot of time to prepare the carriage, and that the Military would be able to move to Rustock at once by shadow transfer, Marianne-san nodded her head in agreement.
''And, in the meantime, I plan to put the Riesenburg knights to sleep, but I'm afraid we'll encounter danger if we participate, so I've decided not to let my companions participate.
'I see, but from what I've heard, isn't Mr. Kent the only one struggling?
Huh, but I happen to have the power, so I guess I have no choice...
The Kizawa group seems to be curious about the rescue mission, and they are listening in while glancing at each other.
"I mean, if you've got that kind of ability, you should come and rescue me sooner!
Yeah, yeah, you've been flirting with your girlfriend over here.
"I mean, I heard you went to the girls' baths in Rastock, you piece of shit!
You're messing with Asakawa too, aren't you, Sci-Tech...
I don't know if they think I can't touch her in front of Marianne, or if she's fundamentally licked me, but my clenched fist trembles under the table when she says whatever she wants.
I can't help but notice that Kent-san is quite windy, isn't he? Would you all be okay with Kent-san's disappearance?
With a feeling that the stinging air was a breeze, Kizawa Sumika and the others looked at each other at Marianne's words that were released with a relieved smile.
I don't have any intention of going anywhere myself, and no one seems to think that such a thing will not happen, so no one tries to answer.
I don't know about your world, so I'll use Volzard's standards. You all understand that Mr. Kent is now very important to Volzard, don't you?
The Kizawa Group members all nodded in response to Marianne's question.
''Being important means you have that much talent, and even if you're not Volzard, Kent-san can live without any problems.
Marianne broke off and looked around the room.
'That means that Mr. Kent will not suffer any inconvenience by abandoning you all and disappearing, but on the other hand, will you all be okay with Mr. Kent's disappearance?'
Seven people's eyes were drawn to the tall girl who looked victorious, so she must be Kizawa Sumika.
Yeah, her style is........modest type.
''I mean, that's not allowed........''
'Well, Mr. Kent's character would never leave you all behind. But, you see, you never know when you're going to die, do you? You've lost one of your friends, haven't you?
What Marianne-san is talking about is probably what someone told her about Funayama.
When confronted with the fact that there was an actual dead classmate, Kizawa and the others fell silent.
It's a good thing that you have a powerful family member as your bodyguard, so you won't be putting your life in danger so much. But that doesn't guarantee that you are absolutely safe, that you won't die, that you won't disappear.......
The eight of you have a subtle mixture of frustration and anxiety on your faces.
''I suppose it's only natural for you all to feel frustrated when you suddenly find yourself in a situation you didn't even hope for. I just don't think you all are prepared for it right now.
You want us to work for you?
Marianne smiled smugly before answering when Sumika Kizawa asked her with a mouthful of frustration, ''I'm not asking you to work.
''I'm not asking you to simply work. I'm saying let's start preparing for independence........
Marianne began to talk again about the situation of our age in the city of Volzard.
In Volzard," she said, "when people are your age, they start to become independent from their parents. Whether you want to work or study further, you decide for yourselves and set out on your own path. Some of you get married, get a house and have children at your age.
But... we're not from here...
Well, maybe it's not quite the same world you all were in. But when can you guys get back to your world?
When did you do that, Kokubun?
'If we're going to rescue everyone and start negotiating right away and we're going to be able to get back soon, a week or so... but there's so much we don't know at all, it's hard to know for sure...'
Marianne nodded a few times before she began to continue her story.
'If I can get back to my world soon, then there's no need to force myself to work. But if you don't know when you will be able to return, or if it will take a long time to get back, then the possibility of unforeseen events increases, and that's when you'll have to think about losing Kent-san. Wouldn't it be better to be prepared for the time when you have to live on your own, instead of simply working?
Even if Kokubun is gone, it doesn't mean that everyone else will be gone...
While saying that, Kizawa Sumika turns an anxious gaze at the other girls, and the side that is looking at her nods awkwardly.
''Right now, Volzard is making preparations for the extreme outbreak of demons. An extreme outbreak is a situation where demons in the thousands or tens of thousands of units are rushing in, and there's been a lot of damage in the past. Right now, we've been working on the city walls and evacuation centers, and Kent-san is here, so the damage may not be as bad as it was in the past, but if a demon horde on a scale greater than we can imagine attacks, we don't know how many people will survive. If we survive in that kind of situation, will you guys be okay? You may not have anyone you can rely on.
I guess what Marianne is saying is not a threat or anything, it's just the reality of Volzard.
To those of us who lived in peaceful Japan, we tend to think it's a ridiculous thing, but we were actually attacked by demons before we came to Volzard, and it's not something we can laugh at and deny.
'From my point of view, Kent-san seems to be doing very well, but from your point of view, I guess I'm full of complaints. But it's a very fragile and dangerous situation to be depending on one person. Learn enough tricks to live with impunity when that person is gone.
With that, Marianne left her seat.
'Whenever you don't know what to do, you can ask the garrison for help. Come on, Mr. Kent, aren't you busy, too?
'Oh, yes, yes, I still have a lot of preparations to do...'
With Marianne's help, I also decided to leave the dining room.
Kizawa Sumika and the others began to discuss something in whispers, but it wasn't just grumbling as before.
When they left the cafeteria, they thanked Marianne for her help.
'Um...thank you, Marianne-san,'
'Oh, it's only natural to lead the younger ones. We don't waste available people in Volzard.
That's right, in the farthest city, Volzard, human resources were precious.
''By the way, Kent-san, will you take my daughter?
What? Well ... it's ... it's ...
Oh my god, Reece, I don't think you're pushing it hard enough...
No, no, no, no, I'm too pushy and I'm in trouble because I get so much jealousy from so many places...
Isn't that because Mr. Kent isn't clear?
'Goo ... yes, but ...'
Mr. Kent....
I can't help but straighten my posture as Marianne's expression suddenly turns serious.
''Ha, yes, what is it?''
Polygamy is allowed in Landshelt, you see.
'No, no ... it's not ...'
"If you can't make up your mind, declare it all yours.
Well Marianne, would you say that...
Smiling, Marianne-san smiled and went with a flutter and a wave of her hand.
I know from many people who have told me since I came to Volzard that the reason why Klaus-san, the lord, can't get a second wife or cheat on her is because Marianne-san is afraid of him.
The day after I got in touch with the teachers, I went to the guild first.This is because all of the girls asked Manon to help them find a job earlier in the week and left it at that.I think it's okay after the boys caused such a ruckus, but I'm worried about leaving it unattended, so I decided to keep an eye on it, including the progress along the way.The front of the board is still very crowded this morning, and it seems that no girls are willing to rush into this place with a quarry.Yeah, as usual, Ridnell and the others are getting rubbed out, but they never learn.....There were girls from my classmates by the wall, away from the bulletin board.Today, there are the Bumpy Sisters, and Manon seems to be in the center of everyone's attention, being asked a lot of questions.The light blue short hair stands out among the group of black hair.I don't know what they're asking me about, but Manon blushing and awkwardly blushing is so cute and so soothing.When Manon noticed me and gave a small wave, all of the girls' gazes were directed at me at once.When the girls turned around with a grin as if they were making a grisly sound, when they saw me, they smiled with a grin and left Manon in the center, and quickly took their distance to both sides.Some of them even beckoned to me to come in, but it's hard to get close.'Oh, good morning, Kent.Good morning Manon.As I awkwardly approached through the warm, raw gaze, I could hear all the girls whispering.'Kisses, I'm going to kiss you good morning,'Silly me, I'm gonna start with a hug, squeezing, squeezing...No, no, no, no, I'm not nerve-wrackingly brazen enough to perform under such an expectant gaze.I mean, Manon? Why are you turning bright red and closing your eyes?I gently hugged Manon, who was trembling a bit, and kissed her on the cheek.''Hee hee, you're hot since morning........''Really, why is it that mornings in Volzard are so hot... hey!It's hazed, I've been so hazed all morning.I hurriedly release the hug, but Manon is grabbing my shirt tightly and I can't get away from him.I mean, that kind of gesture is foul, it makes me want to hug him again.'Kent you don't smell like Beatrice today...''Well, yeah, I haven't seen you today.Well, thank goodness...'Well, um ... so, what's everyone's job like?'I tried to change the topic without that, but the Uneven Sisters gave me the wrong idea.'Totally Kokubun, why do you talk so quickly about something that has no atmosphere...''Yes, Tomo-chan is right, you should have hugged me more.No, no, no, guys, look, you know, I think I need to get a job and...I tried to change the subject somehow, but this time Sagara and Motomiya-san ran into me from the other side.'We can't look for a job with that crowd yet, and Manon will take care of us, so we'll be fine.Really, I am super, super grateful to Manon. You've worked so hard on this, so why don't you just give it to Manon?Manon explained in detail what the job entailed, gave us directions to the workplace, introduced us to the people at the job, and explained the situation, so everyone was able to experience the job smoothly.'Come on, Kokubun, why don't you stay here and live happily with Manon?Yeah, yeah, Tomo-chan's right.All of you are nodding at the words of the Bumpy Sisters.Manon is turning bright red and looking down, but I think his mouth is a bit nihilistic and loose.''No, it's not decided that we can go home yet, and we haven't finished rescuing everyone else...''Speaking of which, I heard that you're flirting with Tadaka too, Kokubun-kun?Manon's here and they're sainted, Kokubun, sainted!No, no, no, because even the chairman of the committee was working so hard that he collapsed all by himself... ouch.Sagara-san said something so unnecessary that the jit-eyed Manon pinched me in the side.Manon, when did you get everyone on your side?But for now, I was relieved to see that the girls here seemed to be working fine, but I knew there weren't enough of them.'Oh, speaking of which, where are the rest of them?Everyone's expressions clouded over as soon as they heard it.''Ah........I'm sorry for Kokubun, but maybe not for Sumika and the others.......'''Yeah, the riding was only for one day, and then...'Kizawa Sumika's group was still reluctant to clean the stalls and brush the horses during the riding experience, and at the end of that day's training, she was declared not to participate anymore.'So what are you doing now then?''You weren't up when we came out, and I'm guessing you're gathering around and goofing off.'I think they got together and talked until midnight last night, so I guess they couldn't get up.You're not in any trouble...?'Oh, I think that's okay, because unlike Takayama and the others, I'm pretty good at getting around.According to Mr. Kobayashi, he doesn't complain or try to do anything he doesn't like, but he's wise enough to keep his distance or stay out of the way with someone who is troublesome if he disobeys.It just might make a bad impression on us...Mr. Sakurai says that even if he doesn't do anything to cause a ruckus like the boys do, his sarcastic attitude and mannerisms make people around him dislike him.......That being said, I've seen him face to face a few times in the past when I've been explaining things to him, but he hasn't been very agreeable to me.'All right, I'll go ask the guard for a favor after this, and we'll see how it goes then. You all do what you can.What are you going to ask for, please?Are the rest of us going to help them too?Not only Sagara-san and Motomiya-san, but everyone seemed very interested in the project, so I told them briefly about the plan.My attendants said they will be clearing the area around the road and clearing the roads today, and I was able to get in touch with the teachers, so things are going well for now. Maybe by noon on the day of light, I can get everyone there.All of the girls held hands and rejoiced when they found out that the rescue mission was progressing in a concrete way.'Thank goodness I was worried about everyone who stayed behind.Well, if the doctor is coming, why don't we just leave Kizawa-san and the others to him?'But wouldn't you be extraordinarily repulsed if the teacher warned you about your current situation?'Oh that could be it...'It's true that when I was in Japan, I would have had the backing of the school authority, but in this world, the teacher is also the one who is involved in the situation in terms of position, so if you're not careful, you might get a backlash.While we were talking about this, the front of the board started to open up, so all the girls headed off to find work for the day.'Manon, thank you for taking care of everyone,'No, it's the least I can do...I should really be the one to do it but you're really helping me out, thank you.'I'd be happy if it helped Kent in any way....I couldn't help but hug Manon softly, loving her with a shy smile on her face.''Manon........''"Kent I see everyone is watching...What...?Next thing you know, everyone who should have gone looking for a job is back and surrounded by grinning eyes.So, the pressure of that ickiness is....Kent....'Oh no! Deal? Have you decided on Manon already?'Shit, what are we going to do about that red-haired girl?Where's Yuuka, by the way? What's going on with you and Yuuka?I gave in to the pressure, or perhaps I couldn't resist my personal desire, and I gave Manon another hug.Naturally, all of the girls were in an uproar, and perhaps because of hearing the names of Beatrice and the chairperson, Manon also hugged me sizzling.''I won't lose.......''It's bad, I've already thrown out my classmates and everything and I want to run away somewhere with Manon.'Kent you're busy today, aren't you?Uh, yeah...I hope I can take it slow soon...'Yeah...'Oh, can't we really just throw out all the troublesome things and everything?'Hey, Kokubun I think it's time for you to let Manon go...'Tomochan, that's just tactless.But, A-chan, a lot of things will go wrong without Manon and me...That's right, too...As I unclasped my arms to shake off my regrets, Manon let go of my body for a moment and stared into my eyes.'Okay, Kent, I'll be off.Yes, please.With bouncy steps, Manon walked over to all the girls.All of the girls are making a lot of noise around Manon, making a lot of noise and giving me warm looks as well.Yeah, it's kind of like they're filling the outer moat.The group that's coming to the guild to look for work seems to be fine, so let's check on the Kizawa group while I go to ask the guards for a favor.The chairman said that if I tell them directly, it's going to cause more trouble, but in some cases, I have to tell them.That's why I visited the quarters, but there was no answer when I called out to them.I peeked in from the world of the shadows to see if he was still sleeping, but there was no sign of him in the quarters.I went to the mess hall to see if he was asleep, but I heard some kind of noisy voice.We're cooking a meal for everyone in the squad, not for you.

I'm paying for food and accommodation and the service is too bad...'We're not an inn, we're just accepting them because they don't have anywhere else to go, and if you don't want to go, then get out.''Oh, my God!
