I moved from the Royal Capital of Resenburg, Aldaros, to the Nerima garrison.
Due to the time difference, it was before dawn in Nerima, but the roller conveyors I had ordered from the warehouse had arrived.
I signed the receipt that was place in the warehouse and had the Kobold Corps carry them.
[ I see ... If it turns this smoothly, you can move heavy loads easily. ]
"Yup, I'm planning on installing this with some tweaks."
Reinhardt was checking the rotation of the rollers with great interest, and everyone in the Kobold Corps thought it was fun and started playing with the rollers on the conveyors.
"Yes, yes, I'll keep two in reserve, so you can play with them later."
Four roller conveyors, each ten meters long, were brought into the shadow space.
Next, I headed to the Volzard Guild warehouse.
At this place, Angelina-san was in charge of transporting luggage from Breichberg.
"Ange-oneechan, the roller conveyors have arrived, so let's reinstall the gate."
"Ye~s, alright."
The roller conveyor to be installed was first taken to the Volzard warehouse and then moved to Breichberg.
"Augusto-san, the roller conveyor has arrived, so I will erase the shield of darkness for now."
"Oohh, it arrived. I'll ask you to install it."
"Yes, I'll finish it right away."
We had already discussed the installation locations on the Volzard side and Breichberg side.
I issued a command to the dark attribute golem, erased the shield of darkness that had been opened, and reinstalled it.
Then, I installed the roller conveyor so that it passed from shield of darkness to shield of darkness, and the work was complete.
In the shadow space, the gap between the shield of darkness on the Volzard side and the shield of darkness on the Breichberg side was about 50 centimeters.
In this case, if you pushed the baggage from the Volzard side, a part of the luggage would come out the Breichberg side, so the Kobold Corps no longer needed to carry it.(TN:Basically, as the luggage enters one side, it basically exits on the other side because there's hardly any space in the shadow space between the gates.)
"It's amazing that just by pushing your luggage in, you can send it to Breichberg, Kent."
"That voice, is it Ange?"
"Ara, I can hear Nii-san's voice."
"Though your body can't enter, it seems like your voice can be heard."
"One in Volzard, one in Breichberg, it's amazing you can talk."
It seemed that by narrowing the distance between the shields, voices could now be heard.
If I applied this, I would be able to talk to people far away.
If you used a Japanese mobile phone, you could make calls more conveniently, though.
"If we apply this, it seems like the council of Lords can be held without having to gather in Breichberg."
"Kent, do you think my pops would agree?"
"Ehh ... ?'
"My pops would probably object, saying things like 'Can you negotiate without even looking at the other person's face!'. Of course, the real purpose is to freely roam in Breichberg under the guise of an inspection."
"Haa ..."
Actually, what surprised me was that Augusto-san called Klaus-san 'pops'.(TN:Remember, Augusto usually called Klaus 'Chichiue', a very stiff 'Father', and is currently calling him 'Oyaji', or 'Pops/Old Man'.)
Whether it was because he was aware that he had left Volzard and was working as a transport hub in Breichberg, or because he was seriously implementing Klaus-san's instructions, either way, I was surprised.
"Augusto-san too, you seem to be quite tainted by the atmosphere of the city."
"What are you talking about, Kent. Rather than Augusto-san, please call me Aniki."
"Huh? A, Aniki ... ?"
"Good, that's fine."
Next to Augusto-san, who had a happy expression on his face, Carolina-san was holding back a laugh.
"Then, Aniki. I'll go back to Volzard."
"Good, please give my regards to Riche as well."
"Gotcha, Aniki!"
I waved to Augusto-san and Carolina-san, who burst into uncontrollable laughter, and headed back to Volzard.
I'll also confirm the situation at the collection point on the Volzard side, and while reporting to Klaus-san, I'll pick up Beatriche.
When I visited the office, I saw Donovan-san in addition to Klaus-san.
"What is it, Kent."
"Yes, I came here to improve the transportation system with Breichberg and report on the progress of the Kraken subjugation."
"Okay, just sit down and wait."
Klaus-san asked me to sit on the sofa, but Donovan-san was looking at me.
What is it? I have already completed the notification about Sahel, so I'm sure I haven't done anything wrong ...
"Klaus-san, do you need to make use of me?"
"Forget it, it's just an Ogre, it's not the stage for an S-rank."
"Is that so. I was just asking."
Apparently, there had been a number of reports of sightings of Ogres in the Rivarre Pass between Volzard and Marburg.
"If we rely on Kent for everything, the quality of our adventurers will drop. If we haven't received any damage reports yet, there's no need to raise the price of escorts."
"Understood. Then, until we receive a report of an engagement, we will maintain the status quo."
After finishing the meeting, Donovan-san returned to his post.
"Now, Kent. Let's talk about the Krakens."
"Understood."
Seidolf-tachi acted as a decoy, and although two of the Krakens were defeated, the corpses were eaten by a giant fish that was thought to be a Bahamut, when I told him that, Klaus-san seemed surprised but satisfied.
"I see ... Is that the reason why the Krakens have disappeared even though they have never been subjugated."
"Perhaps, that might be so ..."
"Well then, the Kraken issue is resolved, right?"
"That seems to be the case? Is there a way to prove that the Krakens are gone?"
"Who knows, trade has been resumed after the Kraken's appearance in the past, so there must be some way to do so, right?"
As Klaus-san said, the Kraken has appeared many times in the past, and each time trade had been stopped and restarted again.
I'll as Vajardi-san tomorrow how they've been checking safety so far.
"So, what do you mean by improving the transportation system?"
"Yes, the burden on the Kobolds has increased due to the increased amount of cargo being transported using the shadow space between Breichberg and other places ..."
I explained to Klaus-san about the mechanism that used a roller conveyor so that the Kobold Corps didn't have to worry about transportation.
"I see, then it just doesn't let people in, and you can just push your belongings in, right?"
"Yes, with this method, all the Kobolds to do is have one of them watch over it to make sure there are no troubles."
"Okay, you guys need to be able to move at any time, or we'll be in trouble."
"So, about Augusto-san ..."
"What, is something wrong with Augusto?"
"Yes ..."
I reported about
"Dahahahaha! Augusto calls me Pops? And he said to call him Aniki? Dahahahaha ... Oh no, my stomach hurts, it's cramping, it's cramping ... Dahahahaha ..."
"Maa, that kind of reaction is expected. But, please be prepared when he returns to Volzard."
"Of course. When he comes back, I'll tell you if he comes back and calls me Pops."
"He did his best ... didn't he?"
"That idiot, calling me Father(Chichiue) ... like that. Dahahahaha!"
Haa, I knew it, but now I'm starting to worry again about whether it's okay for me to become this person's son-in-law.
I decided to take Beatrice, who was also stunned, with me and go home.
"Then, I'll go home with Riche. I delivered some Lance Fish to the mansion's kitchen, so please go home and enjoy yourself without drinking around."
"Ou, Lance Fish, is it, that's something I'm looking forward to."
I left the Guild with Beatriche and headed to the garrison's quarters.
Today, in addition to Yuika and Manon, I had also invited Ayako-sensei, who translated the victim list.
"I'm sorry. Sensei and Kent, please wait for a while."
Yuika, Manon, and Beatriche started helping out at the store, but they couldn't ask Ayako-sensei, who had been invited, to help.
I asked Ayako-sensei to wait in my room until they were finished with the shop.
"I, I'm sorry. Please wait just a moment."
It was a good thing that I led Ayako-sensei to the second floor, but when I thought about it, my room was covered with boxes and the state of the room was almost completely a bed.
I cleaned it up quickly, but it was clearly seen.
"Sorry to bother you. Is this Kokubu-kun's room ... I thought it would be a bigger room."
"I eat at the restaurant downstairs, and I mostly just sleep here."
"I wouldn't think this was an S-rank adventurer's room. Kokubu-kun, why are you so selfless?"
"That's outrageous. I am, an extremely greedy person. I'm planning on having four wives, and I'm also building a mansion."
"Ahh ... that's right. Ever since I came here, you still talk to me casually, so I forgot."
Right now, I'm living with a box bed, box table, and box chair, but once I have a house, I plan to enjoy spending time with everyone, including my genus.
Maybe because I was thinking about that, before I knew it, the bed was occupied by Mart-tachi, and Sahel was crouching down next to me, urging me to stroke her quickly.
"Yes, yes, I understand."
As I gently stroked her head, Sahel narrowed her eyes and purred at me.
"Nushi-sama, what about this one?"
"She's a teacher at my school, so it's no good to kill her."
"Of course. Do you think that I will attack without thinking? It's vexing."
"I'm sorry, I don't mean that, she's an important person ... what I said has that sort of meaning."
"As you wish, Nushi-sama."
"A, an important person ..."
Ayako-sensei covered her mouth with both hands and blushed for some reason.
"Sensei, is something the matter?"
"Ehh, something like that, to be mentally prepared at such short notice ..."
"Huh? Did you forget to report that you were going out?"
"Ehh?"
"Huh?"
"A, an important person, you said ..."
"Aahh, Sahel has only been a genus for a short time and is not used to living here yet, so I am very careful about distinguishing between friend and foe."
"Haa ... Is that so."
For some reason, Ayako-sensei looked disappointed, but it wasn't like Sahel wanted to fight her.
In fact, when I stroked her, Sahel's body shook happily, and her breasts also swayed, making it difficult to focus my eyes.
Hii, you're giving me an icy stare, but Ayako-sensei's body shape is not my responsibility.
"I see, the reason why you made the bed so wide is because Kobold-chan also sleeps with you, right?"
"Yes, and Meisa-chan from the boarding house."
"Ehh, what now?"
"Meisa-chan from the boarding house uses me as a pillow every night ..."
"Kokubu-kun, Seiza right there."
"Eeehhh ..."
As soon as I told her that I was sleeping with Meisa-chan, Ayako-sensei's eyebrows shot up and she made me sit in Seiza without any questions asked.
"She's the daughter of the landlord, moreover, how can you even touch such a small child, what are you thinking."
"No, wait a minute. We're sleeping together, but ..."
"Be quiet. No matter how much you love little girls, there is a limit."
"No, I don't particularly like little girls ..."
"If you like little girls that much, there's no problem with the age as long as you have me do it ..."
"Ehh? Sensei, what are you talking about?"
"Nushi-sama, should I kill her after all?"
"No good, no good, that's no good."
"I see, that's a shame ..."
"Kent, it's time to eat ... rather, why are you sitting on the floor?"
No, no, it's your fault, Meisa-chan.
Due to Ayako-sensei's misunderstanding, in addition to the natural airhead Sahel, it took a lot of time and effort to explain.
Actually, the legal Loli Girl who is going to be my wife is currently on a journey through the desert.
For dinner, the long-awaited Lance Fish was served.
First, the appetizer was a thinly made carpaccio.
A colorful pattern was drawn on a white canvas using herbs, vinegar, and olive oil.
I enjoyed it with my eyes, and then was about to enjoy it with my tongue, but Yuika stopped me.
"Kento, the finishing touch please."
"Ehh, finishing touch?"
"Yup, bring out a shield of darkness."
"Shield of darkness? It's fine, but what for?"
When I put out a shield of darkness next to the table, I was handed a plate of carpaccio.
Yuika instructed me to put the carpaccio plate inside the shield.
I see, I get it, is that what you meant.
I stuck the plate into the shield of darkness, then pulled it out immediately.
The carpaccio was still on the plate.
Apparently, there were no parasites.
"Yuika, in the first place, the Lance Fish was brought back via the shadow space, so the parasites should have been exterminated at that time."
"Ahh, that's true, too."
"Then, I checked ... Itadakima~su! Mm~ delicious!"
At first, I tried just the thin sashimi, it had been a long time since I had eaten sashimi, and the fat had no taste or odor, and the flavor spread as it melted on my tongue.
Next, when I wrapped it in herbs and ate it, the bitterness and crunchy texture brought out the sweetness of the fillet even more.
The reason why it had a rich yet refreshing aftertaste was probably due to the exquisite blend of vinegar.
The next menu was Fritters ... Or rather, it was already tempura, wasn't it.
This was served with salt.
"Mm~~h! It's crispy, fluffy and deliciou~s!"
The meat, wrapped in crispy fried batter, was plump and had even more sweetness and flavor.
The dipping salt was mixed with citrus peel, which added a refreshing scent and eliminated the oiliness.
"Okay, next is Meuniere."
As soon as the plate came out, the aroma of cooked butter spread across the air.
The fillet was crispy on the outside and chewy in the center, giving it a rare flavor, and was served with a sauce made from walnuts and crushed nuts.
The crunchy texture doubled the aroma and blended harmoniously with the flavor of the Lance Fish ... Paradise!
"Mm~h, happiness ..."
When we were eating the carpaccio, everyone who had been actively exchanging their impressions became silent with enchanted expressions on their faces.
"I tried making something like this after learning from Yuika."
What Amanda-san brought was a fish burger.
A chunky whole-wheat bun, crunchy lettuce, fried Lance Fish, and it was filled with plenty of tartar sauce made from an avocado-like fruit.
Something like this is sure to be delicious.
"Yumm~y! It's crazy, it's crazy, this is crazy delicious."
"Kento, what should I do. This is amazing ..."
Yuika, Manon, Beatriche, and even Ayako-sensei all had teary eyes.
"Yup, it's crazy delicious, isn't it."
"Yup ... It's really delicious, but the Calories are ..."
"Ahh ... I see."
Heaps of tempura, large Meuniere, large Fish Burger, plenty of Tartar ... It's true that if you were to count the Calories, it seemed pretty terrible.
"What are you talking about. At your age, even if you eat a little too much, you'll be fine as long as you work hard. Don't worry about it and eat!"
Everyone continued eating with bitter smiles on their faces, but Amanda-san, who was estimated to be three sizes, 120, 140, and 130, didn't seem convincing.
Maa, I was growing up so I didn't hesitate to eat it, but everyone was staring at me looking like they wanted to say something.
At the tea table after dinner, Ayako-sensei brought up the subject of sleeping with Meisa-chan, but Amanda-san laughed it off.
"I'm not at all worried about Kent messing with her. I'm more worried about Meisa wetting the bed."
"I don't! I haven't wet the bed even once since I started sleeping with Kent!"
When Amanda-san said such, Meisa-chan turned red and denied it.
"Haa ... Meisa-chan, the way you say that is like saying that you were still wetting the bed before you slept with me."
"Ehh ... ?"
Yup, there was a mode where she could be even more red.
"I, I, I hadn't. Even before I slept with Kent, I hadn't done it in about a month!"
The blood was already rushing to her head so much that she didn't seem to even realize that she dug her own grave, so let's keep an eye on her warmly.
After enjoying a leisurely cup of tea, I tried to send everyone home, but they refused.
"Kent-sama, we have Hert-tachi with us, so it's okay."
"If Kent is still worried, you can ask Reinhardt-tachi to protect us from the shadows."
"And so, Kento, please go to Seraphima."
It seemed that the three of them received a message from Seraphima that she would be leaving the desert tomorrow evening.
It seemed that the three of them could sense Seraphima's anxiety from the expressions on her face in the video letter using my tablet.
That's right, no matter how many hundred escort knights you have with you, there's no way you won't feel anxious since you're stepping into Resenburg, which has been your enemy for many years.
"Thank you, as expected, I'm really happy."
I hugged them all in turn and kissed them on the cheek.
Ayako-sensei was flustered, isn't her resistance too low?
I asked Fred to escort Yuika and Ayako-sensei, and Reinhardt to escort Manon and Beatriche, and I headed to the oasis in the Davira Desert.
I moved from the Royal Capital of Resenburg, Aldaros, to the Nerima garrison.
Due to the time difference, it was before dawn in Nerima, but the roller conveyors I had ordered from the warehouse had arrived.
I signed the receipt that was place in the warehouse and had the Kobold Corps carry them.
[ I see ... If it turns this smoothly, you can move heavy loads easily. ]
"Yup, I'm planning on installing this with some tweaks."
Reinhardt was checking the rotation of the rollers with great interest, and everyone in the Kobold Corps thought it was fun and started playing with the rollers on the conveyors.
"Yes, yes, I'll keep two in reserve, so you can play with them later."
Four roller conveyors, each ten meters long, were brought into the shadow space.
Next, I headed to the Volzard Guild warehouse.
At this place, Angelina-san was in charge of transporting luggage from Breichberg.
"Ange-oneechan, the roller conveyors have arrived, so let's reinstall the gate."
"Ye~s, alright."
The roller conveyor to be installed was first taken to the Volzard warehouse and then moved to Breichberg.

"Mm~~h! It's crispy, fluffy and deliciou~s!"
The meat, wrapped in crispy fried batter, was plump and had even more sweetness and flavor.
The dipping salt was mixed with citrus peel, which added a refreshing scent and eliminated the oiliness.
"Okay, next is Meuniere."
As soon as the plate came out, the aroma of cooked butter spread across the air.
The fillet was crispy on the outside and chewy in the center, giving it a rare flavor, and was served with a sauce made from walnuts and crushed nuts.
The crunchy texture doubled the aroma and blended harmoniously with the flavor of the Lance Fish ... Paradise!
"Mm~h, happiness ..."
When we were eating the carpaccio, everyone who had been actively exchanging their impressions became silent with enchanted expressions on their faces.
"I tried making something like this after learning from Yuika."
What Amanda-san brought was a fish burger.
A chunky whole-wheat bun, crunchy lettuce, fried Lance Fish, and it was filled with plenty of tartar sauce made from an avocado-like fruit.
Something like this is sure to be delicious.
"Yumm~y! It's crazy, it's crazy, this is crazy delicious."
"Kento, what should I do. This is amazing ..."
Yuika, Manon, Beatriche, and even Ayako-sensei all had teary eyes.
"Yup, it's crazy delicious, isn't it."
"Yup ... It's really delicious, but the Calories are ..."
"Ahh ... I see."
Heaps of tempura, large Meuniere, large Fish Burger, plenty of Tartar ... It's true that if you were to count the Calories, it seemed pretty terrible.
"What are you talking about. At your age, even if you eat a little too much, you'll be fine as long as you work hard. Don't worry about it and eat!"
Everyone continued eating with bitter smiles on their faces, but Amanda-san, who was estimated to be three sizes, 120, 140, and 130, didn't seem convincing.
Maa, I was growing up so I didn't hesitate to eat it, but everyone was staring at me looking like they wanted to say something.
At the tea table after dinner, Ayako-sensei brought up the subject of sleeping with Meisa-chan, but Amanda-san laughed it off.
"I'm not at all worried about Kent messing with her. I'm more worried about Meisa wetting the bed."
"I don't! I haven't wet the bed even once since I started sleeping with Kent!"
When Amanda-san said such, Meisa-chan turned red and denied it.
"Haa ... Meisa-chan, the way you say that is like saying that you were still wetting the bed before you slept with me."
"Ehh ... ?"
Yup, there was a mode where she could be even more red.
"I, I, I hadn't. Even before I slept with Kent, I hadn't done it in about a month!"
The blood was already rushing to her head so much that she didn't seem to even realize that she dug her own grave, so let's keep an eye on her warmly.
After enjoying a leisurely cup of tea, I tried to send everyone home, but they refused.
"Kent-sama, we have Hert-tachi with us, so it's okay."
"If Kent is still worried, you can ask Reinhardt-tachi to protect us from the shadows."
"And so, Kento, please go to Seraphima."
It seemed that the three of them received a message from Seraphima that she would be leaving the desert tomorrow evening.
It seemed that the three of them could sense Seraphima's anxiety from the expressions on her face in the video letter using my tablet.
That's right, no matter how many hundred escort knights you have with you, there's no way you won't feel anxious since you're stepping into Resenburg, which has been your enemy for many years.
"Thank you, as expected, I'm really happy."
I hugged them all in turn and kissed them on the cheek.
Ayako-sensei was flustered, isn't her resistance too low?
I asked Fred to escort Yuika and Ayako-sensei, and Reinhardt to escort Manon and Beatriche, and I headed to the oasis in the Davira Desert.
