Chapter 72: My sister

It just hit me. Maybe I'm a genius.
The bed in the boarding house is made up of two rows of five crates each.
Then, if we added three rows of boxes, it would turn into a semi-double bed in the blink of an eye.
Yes, this would prevent us from getting jammed in the bed with Marto and the others.
Anyway, I should have realized this earlier.
Maybe it's because I was freed from the squishy stuffing, or maybe it's because I was still tired, but I slept soundly until night without even eating lunch.
'Kento........are you there? It's time for dinner....
'Mmm ... oh, good morning, Meisa ...'
Good morning, baby, it's night. I mean, that's not fair, Kent! Three mofos all by themselves, that's not fair!
'Uh ... Malt and the others have been working hard and they're tired.
Mmm I wish I could sleep with you...
So, shall we take turns sleeping with Meisa?
I want to sleep with all three of them!
'Well, that's...'
When I look at the faces of Mart and the others, they all have a look of 'that's a bit.......'
' "Maisa, Kent, come on down, I won't let you eat if you're goofing off!
Okay, I'm coming. Come on, Meisa, let's go.
'Mmmm ... Kent's not fair ...'
It seemed that she really wanted to sleep with Mart and the others, and Meisa remained on her budding face for the entire dinner.
Meisa, don't eat with such a puffy face. You're making a bad meal of it.
"Because... because Kent's cheating...
Oh, my God, if you want to sleep with the Kobolds so badly, you should sleep in Kent's room.
'Yes! Mom, you're so smart!
'What, yeah ... wait a minute, Meisa, are you going to sleep in my room?'
I asked, surprised by the suddenness of the situation, and Meisa crossed her arms, snorting with Huns, and nodded her head as a matter of course.
'If I go to Kent's room, I can sleep with Fluffy!
Yes but, Meisa, I'm wetting myself...
I don't! I'm never going to wet myself in bed again!
''Ummm....I wonder if it's true...''
I glanced at Amanda-san and she signaled me with her eyes to be patient.
''Huh ... I can't help it, you have to go to the bathroom properly before you go to bed.
I'm going, and Jiboula doesn't overeat!
And I want you to do your arithmetic homework.
Ugh ... no ... I'll do it ... I'll do it right, please ...
Yeah okay. Okay, you can sleep with me.
'Yay! I love Kent!
Meisa hugged me and rubbed my cheek, but I couldn't be honestly happy about it because I'm usually so normal.
"Sorry, Kent.
No, it's not too small if you have more boxes to line up, it's fine.
'Oh, yeah, right. Then I'll let you take Meisa's bedding with you so it doesn't stick out.
'Yes, well, with Malt and the others attached to it, I don't think it's going to catch a cold.
So I had to line up the boxes further, but wouldn't it be faster to lie on the floor?
But unlike Japan, we live with shoes in the house, so I guess we'll just have to line up the boxes.
After dinner, Amanda and Meline asked me about the extreme outbreak.
They were surprised when I told them about reaching Volzard at the last minute and how the goblins that had been pushed in were almost over the city walls.
'You had that many demons rushing in?
''Yes, there were so many that you couldn't see the ground, maybe it was hundreds of thousands to over a million.
Where did all those goblins go?
When I told them that the salamanders were chasing us and panicking, and that some of them seemed to have passed through Volzard and gone further inland, Amanda and Meline got a reluctant look on their faces.
''Well I guess it's still poorly done, isn't it?''
'Hmm it's a goblin I don't know how much of an effect it will have, but the price of grain might go up.
What? Why?
It's not...
According to Meline's story, Volzard also produces crops, but the absolute amount is not enough, and many of the grains are dependent on imports from other cities.
If the rate of encounters with demons on the way to bring them to Volzard increases, it will cost more money to protect them, and as a result the price of grain will increase.
''I see........but there shouldn't be any high-level species mixed in with the goblins, so it won't have that big of an effect, right?
I hope so... but it's said that when there are more goblins and such, the number of other demons increases as well.
'Really? Well if that's the case, then I guess I'm poor...
In some cases, I may need to sweep up the goblins between Volzard and the next city, if I'm lucky.
Or if I stick out, will I be taking away the work of other adventurers who are happy to have more work to do as guards?
It seems like I should listen to Donovan's opinion before moving here.
In addition to grains and the like, the price of medicinal herbs and the like is also likely to increase.
It is said that the collection of medicinal herbs is done in the forest that is located in the interior of the city rather than Volzard, and not many demons live there.
The goblins that bypassed Volzade during the recent outbreak would undoubtedly live in those forests.
Muel-san, whose main job is to collect, has a bodyguard called Giliq, but depending on the situation, it might be better to have one Kobold attached to her.
After we finish talking, Meline-san goes home, Meisa takes a bath, and I line up a new box and make the bed.
I mean, if you put four rows of boxes together, it's like we have boxes as soon as we open the door, but it can't be helped, can it?
In the morning, I just put them back on the table and chairs and cupboards.
"Sorry, Kent, I didn't mean to ask you to do this.
No, he'll sleep on his own when he's a little older, so he'll be fine.
'If you want, you can have Kent get it too, Maysa.
Huh? What are you talking about, Amanda?
'Haha, just kidding. You won't be married before you've recovered from your bedwetting.
Huh ... please don't surprise me again.
Meisa is in the fifth grade of elementary school in Japan, and I wouldn't think of her as a love interest.
In other words, she's like a little sister who needs a lot of help.
As I was lying on the spacious bed with Marto and the others, there was a small knock on the door.
'Yes, it's open,'
Ugh....
Meisa, who has changed into her pajamas and has come in with a pillow of her own, groans softly at the door.
'What's wrong?'
'Ugh ... tiny lights ...'
Oh I see, it's scary in the dark...
No, no! Well, I don't want to wake up in the bathroom when it's dark...
Oh, yeah, well, it's a different room tonight.
Yeah, well, I'm not used to...
'Yeah, yeah, let's just put it that way...'
'Kiwi ... cheeky ... cheeky, Kent, you're cheeky!
"Okay, okay, here's the light, you can sleep in the middle of the bed.
'Mmm ... stupid Kent ...'
Meisa's lips were pouting, but as soon as she climbed up on the bed and was surrounded by Marto and the others, her face was prodigal.
Okay, I'm going to go take a bath, so you can go to bed first, okay?
Okay ... good night ...
Yes, good night, Maysa.
When I got out of the bath and went back to my room, Meisa seemed to be sleeping soundly.
I don't really want to sleep much, since I slept a lot during the day, but it's been a busy day since I came to this world, so I'll take a break when I can.
As I was thinking, Fred spoke to me.
''Kent-sama........report.......''
How's Camilla doing?
"Quite a blow... and much more moody...
I asked Fred to return to scout out the Rustock once the extreme outbreak had died down.
Fred reports that the garrison, where his classmates have disappeared, is now working to fortify the city's defenses.
Camilla seems to think that the ringleader is one of the five people who took part in the first real battle, after gathering information from Paul, Gert, and the other people in the city who witnessed it.
However, it seems that they can't even guess what method they used to survive, how they put the knights including themselves to sleep, or how they used the demons.
Since the scale of the operation is so large, they think there are collaborators, but they think the possibility of the Landsholt Republic being involved is low.
It's probably because it's practically impossible to run a country in such a short period of time.
Camilla seems to think it's more likely that the second prince group is in the dark.
Based on the eyewitness testimony, it is highly likely that the escapees have crossed the bridge and escaped to the other side of the Devil's Forest.
However, we can't rule out the possibility that the escapees may have crossed the river by boat from a different location and are hiding in the Riesenburg, after being led to believe so.
In any case, they are strengthening their defense system since they have regained their hostages and their numbers have increased.
Some of the knights said that if they were gone, they could summon new slaves, but it seems that the preparations for summoning them would take a long time and cost a lot of money, so it seems that they can't summon new slaves at the moment.
And the loss of a large number of servitude armbands has also been a sore point.
As I felt, the bangles my classmates were fitted with seem to be carved with a special technique, and it seems that it will take time and money to gather a number of them as well.
''I was thinking of thrusting the bangles back together, but it looks like it would be better to get rid of them.
"Leave him in the shadows and he'll be fine, but it's safer to destroy him...
'Yeah, well, for what we have on hand, and for what's in Rastock's storage room, I broke it all up.
"Master Kent, I suggest you begin negotiations with Camilla before she gets better.
Fred and Basten also seem to agree with Reinhardt's opinion.
''Hmm.........negotiations, I know that the sooner the better, but I'm not too sure......''
"Master Kent, don't worry, we'll take care of you.
"Of course, I'm going to ask for everyone's full support...
"You're concerned about what Lord Cawley said, aren't you?
"Yeah, that's right...
My communication skills are poor to begin with, so my nervousness and agitation come out on my face.
"Maybe it's the mask after all...
"Master Kent, you'll never grow if you run from your difficulties.
'Yeah, I know that, but this time we don't have time to grow, and that doesn't mean we're in a good situation to fail.'
'Hmm ... well, then, how about this?'
What Reinhardt has suggested is a way to leave both possibilities open.
In the meantime, I'll prepare a mask in case I can't make it in time.
On the other hand, as a way of encouraging my growth, he said he would practice negotiating.
''Well, if you're not good at it, then you can practice, right?''
"How, and you can mask your face, but you can't hide your voice.
I see.
Thinking back, when I encounter something unexpected, I tend to say 'whew' or 'whew' unintentionally.
Yes, you need to practice it.
"Kent-sama, you will discuss the content of your negotiations with your teachers as well, right?
'Yes, we need to discuss how much compensation should be set and how to find out the true nature of the repatriation technique and all that stuff,'
So why don't you ask him to be a trainer, too?
What, you can't do that with Reinhardt's group?
We're a little too close to each other now, aren't we?
''I see... it's true, you have a strong sense of family and relatives.
"And I think people who don't talk to each other often enough are more aware of the importance of negotiation.
'Well, yeah, I'll do that.'
The teachers were talking about things like working, but the most important thing we need to focus on is getting a way to get back to the original world.
To be honest, if it's money, the money from selling the salamanders will come in, and we'll be able to cover the cost of all two hundred people.
For now, let's visit the garrison's temporary quarters first thing tomorrow morning and discuss it with the teachers.
''Now, if you've made your plans for tomorrow, Kent-sama, you should also rest.
'Bu-ha-ha, I see you haven't eaten any jiboula tonight, so you should be fine.
'Yes, I hope so.'
Maisa is slumbering in her sleep, sandwiched between Malt and Milt.
I was going to sleep with Milt between me and Meisa, but Milt moved so that he was on the outside.
'It's okay if I'm on the outside,'
Master is in the middle. We'll heat it from the outside.
Okay well thank you.
Kuhn....
Not only did I pet Milt, but I also petted Malt and Moult before diving under the covers.
''Mmmm ... fluffy ...''
Meisa is still with me in my dreams, or maybe she's rubbing her cheeks against Malt and making her sleeping face prodigal.
Yes, she's cute in this way.
I'm an only child, so I don't understand it well, but if I had a younger sister, it would be like this.
Mmmm........fluffy........
Huh....
Meisa, who has turned over in her sleep, clings to me.
Since Marto is lying outside of the futon, she seems to be able to rub her cheek, but not hug me.
Or rather, it's like Marto is guarding her from being hugged....
'Ummm ... Kent can't be dead ...'
'Eh....'
I wasn't expecting my name to be called in my sleep, so I was a little nervous.
I was thinking again, though, as Meisa, soft and warm, hugged me.
Huh? She's like a sister... but she's not actually related to Meisa by blood... no, she's a stranger to me, but she's like family... huh?
No, no, no, I'm four years older than Meisa... but when you're an adult, it's not unusual for couples to have a four-year age difference... Huh? Huh?
''Mmm ... skeletal ... crybaby ... skeletal ...''
Goooooooooo........is Meisa awake?
I suspected that she was awake, but she was cooing in her sleep after her sleep talk and I was already losing strength all at once.
I don't know what they'd say later if they knew I was having trouble with Meisa, right?
I mean, I'm okay with talking in my sleep, I'm sure I'm not running around talking about bad things or anything.
Just when I was starting to feel like an idiot for thinking about it, all at once, sleep came over me and lured me into a world of sleep.
The next morning, I woke up feeling somewhat breathless.
I thought I was being crushed again, but I extended the bed so Malt and the others were curled up quietly beside me.
I felt a heaviness and coldness around my pigeon tail and rolled up the covers and found Meisa sleeping with me as a pillow.
On top of that, she's drooling all over my belly in a big way... I wonder if she's not parched from sleeping with her mouth half open like this.
'Reinhardt, what time is it?'
It's a little early to be getting up, isn't it?
''Huh........it can't be helped, I'll let you sleep on it a little longer......''
'Bu-ha-ha, I'm looking forward to seeing you after you wake up, Meisa.
"It's not funny anymore. I don't think I'm going to get a chance to laugh at it.
"Buh-ha-ha, it's hard to be with my brother.
"Huh........it's true........
I stroked Meisa's head as she was sleeping soundly, and she smiled a happy smile at me, nihilistically.
Yeah, but let's close my mouth for a minute, I'm drooling...
As I was observing Meisa's sleeping face for a while, the door to the room opened quietly and quietly.
The one who came into the room, killing the sound of footsteps, was of course Amanda.
Meisa-chan is completely under the covers, and Amanda-san, who couldn't see her, has a suspicious look on her face.
When I rolled up the futon to show her the devastation, Amanda-san held her forehead with her right hand and looked up at the ceiling.
'Huh ... I'm sorry, Kent,'
Well, it wasn't a bed wetting, so it's still...
'Huh ... Meisa! Come on, get up, for God's sake! We're going to be late for school!
Hmm.................
Apparently, Meisa is not very good in the morning.
Then let's get her up for a minute.
Meisa-chan, Meisa-chan, bed-wetting!
Whew! Eh, eh..........
Oh, and the bedwetting was okay, I see.
What, Kent? What, that?
'Meisa, my belly is drooling all over the place...'
"Well, no, it wasn't me, it was Murt...
If you keep talking like that, you won't be able to sleep with us.
'Yeah ... no, I'm going to sleep with ... sorry ...'
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, I've got to wash my face, get dressed, and get ready for school.
Ummm ... okay ...
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, I'm up.
Yeah, good morning, Kent.
Good morning, Maisa.
Yeah, I knew you were a handful of little sisters, Meisa.
Let's just play with the drooling stuff for a while.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
It just hit me. Maybe I'm a genius.
The bed in the boarding house is made up of two rows of five crates each.
Then, if we added three rows of boxes, it would turn into a semi-double bed in the blink of an eye.

Or rather, it's like Marto is guarding her from being hugged....
'Ummm ... Kent can't be dead ...'
'Eh....'
I wasn't expecting my name to be called in my sleep, so I was a little nervous.
I was thinking again, though, as Meisa, soft and warm, hugged me.
Huh? She's like a sister... but she's not actually related to Meisa by blood... no, she's a stranger to me, but she's like family... huh?
No, no, no, I'm four years older than Meisa... but when you're an adult, it's not unusual for couples to have a four-year age difference... Huh? Huh?
''Mmm ... skeletal ... crybaby ... skeletal ...''
Goooooooooo........is Meisa awake?
I suspected that she was awake, but she was cooing in her sleep after her sleep talk and I was already losing strength all at once.
I don't know what they'd say later if they knew I was having trouble with Meisa, right?
I mean, I'm okay with talking in my sleep, I'm sure I'm not running around talking about bad things or anything.
Just when I was starting to feel like an idiot for thinking about it, all at once, sleep came over me and lured me into a world of sleep.
The next morning, I woke up feeling somewhat breathless.
I thought I was being crushed again, but I extended the bed so Malt and the others were curled up quietly beside me.
I felt a heaviness and coldness around my pigeon tail and rolled up the covers and found Meisa sleeping with me as a pillow.
On top of that, she's drooling all over my belly in a big way... I wonder if she's not parched from sleeping with her mouth half open like this.
'Reinhardt, what time is it?'
It's a little early to be getting up, isn't it?
''Huh........it can't be helped, I'll let you sleep on it a little longer......''
'Bu-ha-ha, I'm looking forward to seeing you after you wake up, Meisa.
"It's not funny anymore. I don't think I'm going to get a chance to laugh at it.
"Buh-ha-ha, it's hard to be with my brother.
"Huh........it's true........
I stroked Meisa's head as she was sleeping soundly, and she smiled a happy smile at me, nihilistically.
Yeah, but let's close my mouth for a minute, I'm drooling...
As I was observing Meisa's sleeping face for a while, the door to the room opened quietly and quietly.
The one who came into the room, killing the sound of footsteps, was of course Amanda.
Meisa-chan is completely under the covers, and Amanda-san, who couldn't see her, has a suspicious look on her face.
When I rolled up the futon to show her the devastation, Amanda-san held her forehead with her right hand and looked up at the ceiling.
'Huh ... I'm sorry, Kent,'
Well, it wasn't a bed wetting, so it's still...
'Huh ... Meisa! Come on, get up, for God's sake! We're going to be late for school!
Hmm.................
Apparently, Meisa is not very good in the morning.
Then let's get her up for a minute.
Meisa-chan, Meisa-chan, bed-wetting!
Whew! Eh, eh..........
Oh, and the bedwetting was okay, I see.
What, Kent? What, that?
'Meisa, my belly is drooling all over the place...'
"Well, no, it wasn't me, it was Murt...
If you keep talking like that, you won't be able to sleep with us.
'Yeah ... no, I'm going to sleep with ... sorry ...'
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, I've got to wash my face, get dressed, and get ready for school.
Ummm ... okay ...
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, I'm up.
Yeah, good morning, Kent.
Good morning, Maisa.
Yeah, I knew you were a handful of little sisters, Meisa.
Let's just play with the drooling stuff for a while.
It just hit me. Maybe I'm a genius.The bed in the boarding house is made up of two rows of five crates each.Then, if we added three rows of boxes, it would turn into a semi-double bed in the blink of an eye.Yes, this would prevent us from getting jammed in the bed with Marto and the others.Anyway, I should have realized this earlier.Maybe it's because I was freed from the squishy stuffing, or maybe it's because I was still tired, but I slept soundly until night without even eating lunch.'Kento........are you there? It's time for dinner....'Mmm ... oh, good morning, Meisa ...'Good morning, baby, it's night. I mean, that's not fair, Kent! Three mofos all by themselves, that's not fair!'Uh ... Malt and the others have been working hard and they're tired.Mmm I wish I could sleep with you...So, shall we take turns sleeping with Meisa?I want to sleep with all three of them!'Well, that's...'When I look at the faces of Mart and the others, they all have a look of 'that's a bit.......'' "Maisa, Kent, come on down, I won't let you eat if you're goofing off!Okay, I'm coming. Come on, Meisa, let's go.'Mmmm ... Kent's not fair ...'It seemed that she really wanted to sleep with Mart and the others, and Meisa remained on her budding face for the entire dinner.Meisa, don't eat with such a puffy face. You're making a bad meal of it."Because... because Kent's cheating...Oh, my God, if you want to sleep with the Kobolds so badly, you should sleep in Kent's room.'Yes! Mom, you're so smart!'What, yeah ... wait a minute, Meisa, are you going to sleep in my room?'I asked, surprised by the suddenness of the situation, and Meisa crossed her arms, snorting with Huns, and nodded her head as a matter of course.'If I go to Kent's room, I can sleep with Fluffy!Yes but, Meisa, I'm wetting myself...I don't! I'm never going to wet myself in bed again!''Ummm....I wonder if it's true...''I glanced at Amanda-san and she signaled me with her eyes to be patient.''Huh ... I can't help it, you have to go to the bathroom properly before you go to bed.I'm going, and Jiboula doesn't overeat!And I want you to do your arithmetic homework.Ugh ... no ... I'll do it ... I'll do it right, please ...Yeah okay. Okay, you can sleep with me.'Yay! I love Kent!Meisa hugged me and rubbed my cheek, but I couldn't be honestly happy about it because I'm usually so normal."Sorry, Kent.No, it's not too small if you have more boxes to line up, it's fine.'Oh, yeah, right. Then I'll let you take Meisa's bedding with you so it doesn't stick out.'Yes, well, with Malt and the others attached to it, I don't think it's going to catch a cold.So I had to line up the boxes further, but wouldn't it be faster to lie on the floor?But unlike Japan, we live with shoes in the house, so I guess we'll just have to line up the boxes.After dinner, Amanda and Meline asked me about the extreme outbreak.They were surprised when I told them about reaching Volzard at the last minute and how the goblins that had been pushed in were almost over the city walls.'You had that many demons rushing in?''Yes, there were so many that you couldn't see the ground, maybe it was hundreds of thousands to over a million.Where did all those goblins go?When I told them that the salamanders were chasing us and panicking, and that some of them seemed to have passed through Volzard and gone further inland, Amanda and Meline got a reluctant look on their faces.''Well I guess it's still poorly done, isn't it?'''Hmm it's a goblin I don't know how much of an effect it will have, but the price of grain might go up.What? Why?It's not...According to Meline's story, Volzard also produces crops, but the absolute amount is not enough, and many of the grains are dependent on imports from other cities.If the rate of encounters with demons on the way to bring them to Volzard increases, it will cost more money to protect them, and as a result the price of grain will increase.''I see........but there shouldn't be any high-level species mixed in with the goblins, so it won't have that big of an effect, right?I hope so... but it's said that when there are more goblins and such, the number of other demons increases as well.'Really? Well if that's the case, then I guess I'm poor...In some cases, I may need to sweep up the goblins between Volzard and the next city, if I'm lucky.Or if I stick out, will I be taking away the work of other adventurers who are happy to have more work to do as guards?It seems like I should listen to Donovan's opinion before moving here.In addition to grains and the like, the price of medicinal herbs and the like is also likely to increase.It is said that the collection of medicinal herbs is done in the forest that is located in the interior of the city rather than Volzard, and not many demons live there.The goblins that bypassed Volzade during the recent outbreak would undoubtedly live in those forests.Muel-san, whose main job is to collect, has a bodyguard called Giliq, but depending on the situation, it might be better to have one Kobold attached to her.After we finish talking, Meline-san goes home, Meisa takes a bath, and I line up a new box and make the bed.I mean, if you put four rows of boxes together, it's like we have boxes as soon as we open the door, but it can't be helped, can it?In the morning, I just put them back on the table and chairs and cupboards."Sorry, Kent, I didn't mean to ask you to do this.No, he'll sleep on his own when he's a little older, so he'll be fine.'If you want, you can have Kent get it too, Maysa.Huh?What are you talking about, Amanda?'Haha, just kidding. You won't be married before you've recovered from your bedwetting.Huh ... please don't surprise me again.Meisa is in the fifth grade of elementary school in Japan, and I wouldn't think of her as a love interest.In other words, she's like a little sister who needs a lot of help.As I was lying on the spacious bed with Marto and the others, there was a small knock on the door.'Yes, it's open,'Ugh....Meisa, who has changed into her pajamas and has come in with a pillow of her own, groans softly at the door.'What's wrong?''Ugh ... tiny lights ...'Oh I see, it's scary in the dark...No, no! Well, I don't want to wake up in the bathroom when it's dark...Oh, yeah, well, it's a different room tonight.Yeah, well, I'm not used to...'Yeah, yeah, let's just put it that way...''Kiwi ... cheeky ... cheeky, Kent, you're cheeky!"Okay, okay, here's the light, you can sleep in the middle of the bed.'Mmm ... stupid Kent ...'Meisa's lips were pouting, but as soon as she climbed up on the bed and was surrounded by Marto and the others, her face was prodigal.Okay, I'm going to go take a bath, so you can go to bed first, okay?Okay ... good night ...Yes, good night, Maysa.When I got out of the bath and went back to my room, Meisa seemed to be sleeping soundly.I don't really want to sleep much, since I slept a lot during the day, but it's been a busy day since I came to this world, so I'll take a break when I can.As I was thinking, Fred spoke to me.''Kent-sama........report.......''How's Camilla doing?"Quite a blow... and much more moody...I asked Fred to return to scout out the Rustock once the extreme outbreak had died down.Fred reports that the garrison, where his classmates have disappeared, is now working to fortify the city's defenses.Camilla seems to think that the ringleader is one of the five people who took part in the first real battle, after gathering information from Paul, Gert, and the other people in the city who witnessed it.However, it seems that they can't even guess what method they used to survive, how they put the knights including themselves to sleep, or how they used the demons.Since the scale of the operation is so large, they think there are collaborators, but they think the possibility of the Landsholt Republic being involved is low.It's probably because it's practically impossible to run a country in such a short period of time.Camilla seems to think it's more likely that the second prince group is in the dark.Based on the eyewitness testimony, it is highly likely that the escapees have crossed the bridge and escaped to the other side of the Devil's Forest.However, we can't rule out the possibility that the escapees may have crossed the river by boat from a different location and are hiding in the Riesenburg, after being led to believe so.In any case, they are strengthening their defense system since they have regained their hostages and their numbers have increased.Some of the knights said that if they were gone, they could summon new slaves, but it seems that the preparations for summoning them would take a long time and cost a lot of money, so it seems that they can't summon new slaves at the moment.And the loss of a large number of servitude armbands has also been a sore point.As I felt, the bangles my classmates were fitted with seem to be carved with a special technique, and it seems that it will take time and money to gather a number of them as well.''I was thinking of thrusting the bangles back together, but it looks like it would be better to get rid of them."Leave him in the shadows and he'll be fine, but it's safer to destroy him...'Yeah, well, for what we have on hand, and for what's in Rastock's storage room, I broke it all up."Master Kent, I suggest you begin negotiations with Camilla before she gets better.Fred and Basten also seem to agree with Reinhardt's opinion.''Hmm.........negotiations, I know that the sooner the better, but I'm not too sure......''"Master Kent, don't worry, we'll take care of you."Of course, I'm going to ask for everyone's full support..."You're concerned about what Lord Cawley said, aren't you?"Yeah, that's right...My communication skills are poor to begin with, so my nervousness and agitation come out on my face."Maybe it's the mask after all..."Master Kent, you'll never grow if you run from your difficulties.'Yeah, I know that, but this time we don't have time to grow, and that doesn't mean we're in a good situation to fail.''Hmm ... well, then, how about this?'What Reinhardt has suggested is a way to leave both possibilities open.In the meantime, I'll prepare a mask in case I can't make it in time.On the other hand, as a way of encouraging my growth, he said he would practice negotiating.''Well, if you're not good at it, then you can practice, right?''"How, and you can mask your face, but you can't hide your voice.I see.Thinking back, when I encounter something unexpected, I tend to say 'whew' or 'whew' unintentionally.Yes, you need to practice it."Kent-sama, you will discuss the content of your negotiations with your teachers as well, right?'Yes, we need to discuss how much compensation should be set and how to find out the true nature of the repatriation technique and all that stuff,'So why don't you ask him to be a trainer, too?What, you can't do that with Reinhardt's group?We're a little too close to each other now, aren't we?''I see... it's true, you have a strong sense of family and relatives."And I think people who don't talk to each other often enough are more aware of the importance of negotiation.'Well, yeah, I'll do that.'The teachers were talking about things like working, but the most important thing we need to focus on is getting a way to get back to the original world.To be honest, if it's money, the money from selling the salamanders will come in, and we'll be able to cover the cost of all two hundred people.For now, let's visit the garrison's temporary quarters first thing tomorrow morning and discuss it with the teachers.''Now, if you've made your plans for tomorrow, Kent-sama, you should also rest.'Bu-ha-ha, I see you haven't eaten any jiboula tonight, so you should be fine.'Yes, I hope so.'Maisa is slumbering in her sleep, sandwiched between Malt and Milt.I was going to sleep with Milt between me and Meisa, but Milt moved so that he was on the outside.'It's okay if I'm on the outside,'Master is in the middle. We'll heat it from the outside.Okay well thank you.Kuhn....Not only did I pet Milt, but I also petted Malt and Moult before diving under the covers.''Mmmm ... fluffy ...''Meisa is still with me in my dreams, or maybe she's rubbing her cheeks against Malt and making her sleeping face prodigal.Yes, she's cute in this way.I'm an only child, so I don't understand it well, but if I had a younger sister, it would be like this.Mmmm........fluffy........Huh....Meisa, who has turned over in her sleep, clings to me.Since Marto is lying outside of the futon, she seems to be able to rub her cheek, but not hug me.Or rather, it's like Marto is guarding her from being hugged....'Ummm ...
