My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending

After that, I recovered the sword safely and returned to the room, but I couldn’t sleep because I felt something like a catch on my chest.

I turned over on the bed many times, and finally the sleeper came when it was almost dawn. Kazuki falls to the edge of sleep with a slight white sky in her back.

The pool seemed to be deeper than I expected, and Kazuki woke up after noon.

Get up as if you were dragging a heavy body. Maybe yesterday’s damage still remains.

(It’s not really on your body)

Erica’s cheeks. Physically, there is no pain left.

It is the inside of the body and the heart that resonates.

Even after one night, I’m still feeling guilty about making a young girl cry.

However, I couldn’t say “I didn’t kill” there even if my mouth broke. It’s not just for Kazuki’s self-protection, but also for Erica.

“Hmm, I can’t go down”

Harold’s mouth doesn’t even allow me to sigh and mutter “I can’t help it” rice field. If this is his source, I’m impressed with his mental strength.

It can be said that it is just selfish.

As soon as I got up, I was hungry after having skipped breakfast and lunch, but first I decided to take a shower to get up and refresh my slow-moving head.

By the way, there is no bath in Stokes’s house. This is because the culture of bathing itself has not taken root.

It’s almost 4 months since I possessed Harold. During that time, I took a bath only when I stayed at Sumeragi’s house for one night.

Moreover, the large cypress-like public bath installed outdoors was more like a hot spring than a bath. If I have a chance to enter again, I swear to check if it is the source.

After finishing the shower feeling a thirst for bathing, Kazuki went to the cafeteria to satisfy his hunger.

On the way, I come across Yunho walking from the other side of the corridor. Harold doesn’t have to bother to speak to Yunho, the maid who stops and gives a bow.

However, when Erica’s crying face flashed back, Kazuki noticed and asked Yunho what she was doing.

“How is the sick woman?”

Harold recognizes that Erica suddenly changed her class from a boxed girl to a sick woman. Was there.

I’m worried about this, so I can’t handle it.

“That’s what makes me feel even worse today ~. As Harold said, you should consider returning to the Sumeragi territory to calm down. I don’t know ~ “

Although it was a name that wasn’t so common, Yuno passed it off without changing his expression. Kazuki, who was surprised that he might get angry at the help of his generosity, secretly wiped his cold sweat.

It seems like it’s just a waste of time to get sick and return to the dominion at the evacuation site, but I’ve been hit by the unexpected situation of staying at Erica. As a result, Kazuki can be relieved if they can return home promptly. I didn’t want Erica and others to know about Clara’s case for another reason than her parents.

“By the way, does Harold know why Erica is sick?”

“Do you know?” I’m not a doctor. “

It’s a lie.

I don’t know what’s going wrong in the last two weeks, but it’s safe to say that it’s worse today, probably because of last night’s agitation.

In addition, Kazuki didn’t know the reason, because he was shocked by the rumors that Harold had killed Clara and her daughter. In other words, Kazuki is the cause from 1 to 10.

If Kazuki knew it, he would have been attacked by further conscience. Kazuki is not a person with a broken personality who is pleased with the pain of a 10-year-old girl.

An abnormal situation occurred in my own territory, and while my family was chased by the response and exhausted, many people still suffered and suffered from such weaknesses. Engagement suddenly arranged to be soaked. Erica’s stress would be considerable if that person would be the worst crap that would be hard to kill without even thinking of a person.

Kazuki can assure you that it’s cheap to eat as much as a slap, considering the circumstances and psychological condition of her.

Instead, I wanted to ask for the lowest liking.

“That’s a shame ~. I thought I was familiar with illnesses because I could make medicine ~”

Yuno is trying to find out. I’m pretty worried about her because I don’t know the source of that medicine.

Kazuki doesn’t notice such an intention and is surprised at his evaluation, “Do you think I’m like that?”

“If you’re worried, see your doctor. Even if you’re here, it’s just a waste of time.”

As big as Sumeragi It’s no wonder you have one or two doctors at home. If you’re worried about keeping yourself in your own territory, you can solve it by putting Erica and a doctor in a separate house or villa.

I’m aware that there may be some purpose because I’m sticking like this without doing it. It was still unclear what they were aiming for.

Yuno’s purpose is roughly divided into two, to explore the inside of the Stokes family and Harold’s identity. The former is not a monolith, or the Stokes family is disliked, so the servants of the house are basically light-hearted, and the information they want can be obtained simply by listening to their complaints.

However, the latter, only around Harold, has an unusually tight guard.

First of all, because of the person’s alertness and high ability to detect and detect, he cannot approach him properly. First day of observation 《 First action 》 That’s right.

This forced Yunho to change his target.

Therefore, I tried to contact the three servants who often gathered with him, but they also continue to be distracted. Zen, who seems to be the easiest to get in, tried to slip his mouth once, but he still hasn’t got a strong clue so far.

Yuno feels that he is thoroughly aware of information control, including being careful not to feel uncomfortable in chats in daily conversation. Was there. The current situation is that they are attacking without knowing whether it is due to loyalty or intimidation.

(It seems that the insider team frequently goes to rural areas …)

Stokes I’m exchanging information with the insiders hiding at my knees, but I still don’t know what they’re doing there. It is difficult to infiltrate a group of individual farmers because a small community has been established.

If I did, I had to hit things in a span of several years, and this time I couldn’t afford to prepare that much. It can be said that it is a mistake in arranging the task of concentrating the insiders in the center of the city, which is too populous in a hurry.

After finishing the conversation in two or three words, Kazuki resumed his march. There are three dining rooms in the mansion: the dining room normally used by the Stokes family, the large hall where guests are invited to eat, and the popular dining room dedicated to servants.

Kazuki headed for the first of these, dining.

Open the door without hesitation without knocking. Since it was already around 14:00, my parents weren’t there, and a girl in a maid outfit who was always serving food was in the middle of exchanging tablecloths.

The girl is surprised and upset by Harold who suddenly appears.

(I saw that I couldn’t move because of fear and confusion)

Basically, people of all ages who know Harold’s face I’m used to this kind of reaction because I’m scared regardless. Far from being shocked, I can even afford to observe.

I sat down in a seat that didn’t get in the way of her, considering her feelings.

“Tell the kitchen to make a light meal when you’re done. Call Norman here. Don’t linger.”

” Haha! “

The girl who received the order rushed out of the dining room after quickly exchanging the cloth. The sound of fluttering in the corridor goes away.

The food was delivered in less than 10 minutes. Perhaps he was in the middle of work, Norman arrived when he was about to finish eating it roughly.

“Sorry, I’m late”

“Sit down and wait”

Throw the remaining bread into your mouth and pour it into your stomach with the soup with almost no chewing. It’s not good manners, but you don’t have to worry because there are only Norman and maids.

Norman calls out after seeing the maid lower the plate and being alone.

“You woke up late today. Maybe you’re tired?”

“No problem. It was just bad. “

” I wish I could. “

” Well, I had time to squeeze my wisdom. ”

Kazuki 《 Harold 》 lifted the corner of the mouth. Looking at that expression, Norman makes a point.

“Is it about the shortage of personnel?”

“Oh. “Isn’t it?”

“Do you have any ideas?”

“Call you to see if that’s the case.”

I thought that I would be sleepy if I thought about small difficulties without running the classic means such as counting sheep, but contrary to expectations. I didn’t feel drowsy at all, and I was completely immersed in the sea of thought until dawn.

I’ve come up with the idea, but after all, it’s amateur Asahi. Whether it is feasible or not cannot be answered without asking Norman and Jake.

“So, about external collaborators, is it possible to show the benefits of LP farming to merchants and conclude a contract with that concession?”

I was convinced that even Kazuki, who is not familiar with commerce, can harvest LP farming crops in a high cycle, and the technology itself is also profitable. Although it costs a little more than before, the production efficiency will increase dramatically.

Differences in taste can be achieved, which may lead to the development of new markets.

Sell the technology of LP farming to the merchant, and the merchant sells it to the farmer. Kazuki’s ideal is that the farmer pays the contract fee for using the LP farming method to the merchant and splits it between Harold and the merchant.

However, at this stage, it is necessary to intentionally control the yield, and the Chamber is large enough to send people who regularly audit the farmers so that they do not violate it. It’s difficult unless it’s of Commerce.

Norman is Kazuki 《 Harold 》 I am impressed with the plan of and ask the part that interests me.

“And do you have any idea about that Chamber of Commerce?”

“No. And Jake’s opinion. “

” If you don’t have a message, you won’t be able to talk to the Chamber of Commerce suddenly. The merchants wouldn’t have enough manpower … “

If it’s a biography, Harold’s parents will probably have some. However, Kazuki thinks that it is still premature to clarify the existence of LP farming in order to communicate.

“Is there no way to make it happen at the moment?”

“Unfortunately, but I have a merchant on my side.” Is that a good idea? “

” Then, let’s boil down the story in that direction. Tell Jake the policy. “

“I’m afraid. The problem is how to make a crossover with a credible merchant.”

After that, the two of them exchanged opinions with each other. No further progress was made.

◇

A carriage that makes a rattling noise and traces the ruts carved on the ridges through the gate of Stokes’ mansion. dive. The horse-drawn carriage jockey who came in while exchanging light words with the guard soldier standing on the gatepost was Zen with a carefree smile.

After finishing the purchase of the stockpile, Zen unloads the wagon, puts the wagon back in place, and heads to Harold’s room with his feet. If Kazuki 《 Harold 》 sees the scene, It’s like a crap dog that depends on its owner. ”

However, the person who seems to be unaware of such poisonous tongue, when he comes to the front of the door with his familiar footsteps, recently knocked on the strict order of the room owner. I confirmed that I was in the room, but there was no response.

“Harold-sama? Isn’t it?” Zen, who is unrivaled, opens the door and looks inside.

, but even after doing that, it was still unmanned.

If I weren’t there at this time, I could see a small silhouette standing in the corridor trying to escape, wondering if it was a training of swordsmanship.

Zen, who was disappointed by the small shadow that he saw, tried hard and cheerfully called out.

“Hello Erica”

Looking back with a slow motion, Erica seemed to recognize Zen for the first time in her voice. I opened my eyes small.

“Good morning. You are …”

“Oh, I’m Zen. What happened to Yuno-san?” ? “

I feel such a question about Erica, who is rarely alone. I wonder if he’s not feeling well even in a fight, but it’s completely out of place.

“She’s out for private use now, so I’m out to the city.”

I’m out to exchange information. I just came out today, so I won’t be back for another 1-2 hours.

I can’t say that.

“Was that so? So why are you here … maybe it was something like Harold?”

In the room It was not unreasonable for Zen to think so because it was close. But as soon as Harold’s name came out, Erica’s expression became even more cloudy.

The person I don’t want to meet most now.

But Erica suddenly realized that the opponent in front of him wasn’t steep against Harold.

Does he not know that rumor? When he thought so, Erica reflexively asked Zen.

“Don’t you know?”

“Well, what about?”

“About Harold’s magical killing of a servant”

“Well, that’s what I mean …”

>

Now it’s Zen’s turn to upset.

Seeing the reaction, Erica is convinced that he knows Harold’s barbarity. And at the same time, questions arise.

Knowing that, why can you mainly deal with Harold? I thought it was external, but the hesitation of words exudes not the awe and disgust of Harold, but the frustration of wanting to hold his shoulder but not having it.

“Ah … I’ve heard that such rumors are whispered in the streets, but I’m sure it’s true. It’s not done, so it’s uncertain whether it’s true or false, but it’s confusing to judge Harold … “

” Harold said the rumor. Was affirmed. You must know that it is true because it was the person who worked here that was killed in the first place. “

” U … ”

As Erica says. With a muddy apology, Zen digs a grave himself and gets stuck in words.

To be clear, Zen doesn’t have the eloquence to turn this situation over or wrap it in smoke.

He was expected to be Norman because he is a good person, that is, a person who understands Harold’s heart and can be an ally.

However, the goodness of people is not limited to Harold. Today Erica has been sunk enough to stimulate such a good taste.

“Why are you … no, how can you love Harold like you?”

It was a questionable but pleading voice, uttered with a heavy voice.

Erica has to marry Harold for the Sumeragi family, no matter what their humanity is. It’s just a hindrance to my unacceptable intentions.

Even though I understand it in my head, Erica keeps shaking between responsibility and emotion, and she doesn’t know how to convince herself.

I gave up free romance and marriage from the time I realized my position.

I was angry when I learned that my fiancée’s house was purebred and oppressed.

Still, Harold has given light to the suffering Summeragi.

However, he didn’t think that a human without aristocratic blood was a human after all.

Until then, if you were told that you were disappointed with your own expectations. There are no words to return.

But the reality of a single hope in the darkness was more than enough to push Erica to the bottom of his disappointment.

Erica was so ruthless that she was about to be crushed by her mission and emotions, but still struggling to find an exit.

But Zen knows. That the despair that rises in front of her is a virtual image that was intentionally created.

I’m sure the world waiting for her is very kind.

Because Harold, who was hated and despised by someone and saved their lives until he was prepared to carry the blame of “murder”, abandoned Erica as it is. There is no reason.

And I think again.

She is a human being who has the same strength and kindness as Harold, who tries to kill her heart for the sake of the people and for the sake of the house.

Harold and Erica try to keep up with their intentions even though they are young and carry a heavy burden on their backs. A very clumsy way of life that will only hit the wall.

These similar people do not pass each other, but face each other and are real self 《 Mochi >> should be exposed, isn’t it the one and only person who can do it?

“Mr. Erica, could you come to me?”

So unreliable Adult 《 Jibun 》 If you can support it even if it is only a little power, even if Harold is displeased You can buy it or you can limit it.

“Please give me some time. I have a story I want you to hear.”
