BXBX NOVEL 143 Episode 91: War Preparation And Udon
At first he looks gnawed, but many of the attendees look like they were convinced shortly afterwards.
Honestly, I don\'t know if it makes sense for me to be in a meeting. I\'ve already had a meeting for over an hour, but I haven\'t spoken in the meantime.
Yeah, this is more or less what I\'ve talked about in the last hour to sum up.
Sakya: declared war by Eldia (no writ yet).
Sakya: The army that attacked us before the declaration of war arrived destroyed us, including the brave ones.
Sakya: There\'s no better reason not to attack Lilalka than to be damaged and even broken.
Participant: I can\'t believe what the story is about.
Sakya: The Masked Queen Knight did it all.
Participants: Convinced.
PARTICIPANT: Says he\'s going to attack, but is there any chance he can beat the brave?
Sakya: The Masked Queen Knight will do it.
Minister: Convinced. Here and Now.
I don\'t know why, but saying \'The Masked Queen Knight\' was killing me.
I would like to complain to the participants who will be convinced by that.... Is that all right? State operation?
A: Most participants understand that \'The Masked Queen Knight\' is the master. Because I was helping Sakuya during the Kastal rebuild. Naturally, I also understand its irrationality, which seems to be generating some sort of persuasion.
I can\'t solve it. I\'m hiding the corner identity...
A: Everyone knows that Sakya was looking for the \'Mysterious Prince Mask (Hiding Mask)\' if he is at all satirical in his ears. You won\'t come up with anyone other than your master that Sakuya would give away looking for such magic tools (magic items).
Even if you can hide who you are, you can\'t hide it until you know it. Sakuya has a sweet filling, too.
Is that a punishing butt pen later? No, should I say this is a glitch for what I\'ve done with dignity in Castar? But let\'s just keep the butt pen.
"Pi!?
"What\'s wrong? Queen Sakya?"
"Hey, it\'s nothing..."
Sakuya, who saw my face, screams strangely.
You\'re a rude guy to look people in the face and scream. All right, let\'s change \'Butt Pen\' to \'Butt Pen (Enhanced)\'.
"Really?... So, Lord Gene will help you, so you don\'t want to recruit adventurers, but only the Knights?
One of the ministers taking part in the meeting tells him to sum up his story until then.
"Ugh, um, you\'re right. One Gene would be better suited to attack than an adventurer who could betray you. Originally, you might not even need to join the Knights"
"Isn\'t that an insult to the Knights?
Gold, the head of the Knights of the Queens, frowns against Sakya\'s supplement.
Sakya\'s remarks now are like what the Knights say they are on their feet.
By the way, this captain, he has also risen to level 5 since I met him before, and he\'s entered a big 90 level platform. Whatever I say, but you\'ve been quitting for a long time.
"But will the Lord also understand the power of Gene? And the Knights alone can\'t contain the Eldians with their brave men."
"Indeed, His Majesty the Queen is right, his strength is as far as we know. It must also be a fact that if we are going to war the brave against us, whether they are the Knights or not, we have no chance of winning. But we are the Knights who protect our country and our people. There\'s no way you\'re not going to fight to determine the fate of your country."
"You know that. But I don\'t need that many people. The Knights are not assistants to Gene. Gene does everything in battle, so the Knights will be in charge of post-war processing and so on. Gene is a gatekeeper when it comes to post-war processing."
Sakuya\'s way of saying it sounds like a brain muscle bastard I can only ram...
Well, it\'s also true that I\'m not sure about post-war processing or anything. Maybe if I were alone, I\'d leave it to the Advanced Chamber of Commerce.... I still feel like I\'m only doing the rumbling.
"I see, putting untrained people like him into the chain of command would just be confusing. Are you saying that you will completely divide the roles? Then you certainly won\'t have to go with all the Knights."
"Um, and the rest of the Knights want Gene to consolidate his defense while he\'s attacking. One brave man is a threat. In case even the guerrillas with the brave attacked us, that could destroy the king\'s capital."
"Right. You\'ll have to pay particular attention to staffing."
Huh? Captain Gold is also snorting heavily, but are brave men that strong?
A: Socially they are treated as so strong.
Heh. But as far as status goes, Captain Gold is much stronger.
Well, there will be no shortage of defense in the King\'s Capital of Castar because of our mansion and the small number of combat personnel.
"So when do you plan to march?
"Right. They\'ll be ready, too. However, when I started getting ready now, I would have just said it would be a week before I entered Eldia."
With a paragraph in the story, the next topic was the date of departure.
"We will leave as soon as we are ready. Yeah, there\'s nothing to worry about when it comes to dates. I\'m asking Gene to help me with that."
"Lord Gene again..."
In response to Sakya\'s remarks, one of the ministers murmured.
I lost my temper for Eldia in this case. So, I\'m sorry, but I\'m going to let you go with everything I can.
It doesn\'t make much sense within this country, but externally, I\'m hiding who I am, and I\'m going to forget about my weight for a bit. Just a little bit.
"From Gene, I rent 100 inferior wind dragons (Wyburn). The knights who accompany Gene train them to ride the inferior dragon."
"Hey, what..."
This inferior wind dragon (Wyburn) was created by Elle\'s Initial Dragon Art.
Has the ability to revive and rule dragons from demonic stones.
I recently slaughtered about 10,000 inferior wind dragons (Wyburn). I duly revived and ruled 100 of those demonic stones.
The accompanying knights will be Knights of the Inferior Wind Dragon (Wyburn).
I also thought that Sakura would create magic and transfer a large number of knights at once.
However, in the unlikely event that Sakura\'s powers were found out, he decided to strike a hand at transportation by 100 inferior wind dragons (Wyburn) as a second best measure.
I also feel a little overdone, but it would be better than Sakura\'s magic.
"We can cross the Galan Mountains with the Bad Wind Dragon (Wyburn). That way the travel time can be considerably reduced. Besides, if you aim directly at the King\'s Capital, you will minimize the cost to the citizens."
Let us briefly describe here the geography of Queen Castar and the Kingdom of Eldia.
First, there\'s Eldia on the west side from Castar. From a simple distance alone, the capital of the kings of Castar and Eldia is actually not so far apart.
In the meantime, however, there are huge mountain ranges, called the Galan Mountains, and the demons that inhabit them are also powerful, making it very difficult to get to and from them directly, rather than in environments where people can safely cross paths.
The city of Lilalka is in the northwest direction from Castar, making it a bypassing route through the Galan Mountains.
Therefore, the Eldian army, including the brave ones, also attacked Eldia via Lilaluca.
Using inferior wind dragons (Wyburn) eliminates the need to pass through Lilalka, which reduces time considerably. Naturally, the ambush is also quite high.
And, as Sakya put it, it would also be a great advantage not to make extra sacrifices.
As far as I\'m concerned, the general public doesn\'t care as long as Eldia\'s head and brave men are crushed.
"Is Her Majesty the Queen going to destroy the Kingdom of Eldia...?
One of the ministers whines about that. What now...
But the other participants look equally puzzled.
"Um, naturally. The opponent drove the brave into war. I mean, I\'m not gonna pull it off. I let out the brave men and lost the war, because if I were to pull my hand, I would not be talking about the loss of authority. You can\'t explore the drops."
"I see..."
Sakuya said something particularly self-confident, but yesterday was a passive attitude toward destroying Eldia. Oh, can\'t I show that attitude in front of my subordinates?
"But if you harm the brave, it will affect your front with the Demons..."
"Don\'t worry. There are about 200 brave people working with Eldia right now, not less but not more from the whole point of view. Besides, if you\'re a brave man who won\'t hesitate to take part in a war with your neighbor, you\'ll be the same whether you\'re here or not.
"Duh, where did you get that information?!?
Eldia\'s brave circumstances were examined by Alta, so the ministers didn\'t even know how.
"Gene, it\'s not a relationship."
"Is it Lord Gene again...... You\'re already an ant for everything, hah..."
Numerous participants take a deep breath.
It\'s what Alta did, so I (Gene) can\'t be wrong about the relationship, but the way you put it, it sounds like I ate all the preparations on my own.
"We have some drafts for the future of the Kingdom of Eldia. I\'m going to talk about it now."
Sakya explains\' After the destruction of the kingdom of Eldia \'.
Honestly, it\'s something I\'m not really interested in, so let\'s just say I listen to it lightly. Because I wear a mask, it\'s hard to be noticed even when I\'m confused.
In the end, the meeting ended after noon.
That\'s quite a long time. I hadn\'t heard from you on the way. It\'s not even what I\'m saying...
At the end of the meeting, each of the participants left the meeting hall in a hurry. I guess I have a lot to do.
It is Captain Gold who seems particularly busy. In addition to the selection of those who will accompany me (Gene), I will also be trained to ride the Bad Wind Dragon (Wyburn).
Yeah, I\'ll add, my inferior wind dragon (Wyburn) is ordering me to follow the instructions of a rider. You won\'t have to worry about riding unless you give some weird orders.
"It\'s free time for the next three days, and in three days, we\'ll be attacking Eldia in earnest"
"You\'ve got a little time, haven\'t you?
Back at Castar\'s mansion, I told the members about the meeting in the hall.
The last three days will be spent preparing for (cleaning up) the war and training for riding the inferior wind dragon (Wyburn).
Calculately, even after three days of training, you can march to Eldia many times faster by road.
"I can\'t help it because it\'s time to train to ride the inferior dragon (Wyburn). It\'s more about where you\'re going for the last three days."
"Ah, my husband, we normally sightseeing even though we\'re in a time of war..."
"Your liver\'s fat, your husband."
Mio and Sella laugh bitterly at what I say.
Ask Alta to keep the city level alert. Just in case a brave man or Eldia army attacked you, so you can deal with it.
But there\'s no need for us to be canned in Castar just for that.
It is subtly halfway to say 3 days, but since we have free time around the corner, we want to do one of the sightseeing.
I also relax while fishing, if you say yes...
"Jen, why don\'t you go to Izmo Republic because it\'s a corner...? Just because the war interrupted my trip to Izmo Republic..."
"Ah! Sakura, that\'s a nice idea! Master, it\'s free time in the corner, so let\'s relax and enjoy Japanese culture in Izmo Republic?
"That\'s good too..."
Sakura and Mio seem to want to go to Izmo Republic. Of course, I don\'t either.
Not that I can afford the time, but I would be able to do some sightseeing if I had 3 days (practically 2 1/2 days because it\'s too late for noon now).
"Japanese culture, the culture of Jen-san\'s hometown, right? I\'m so excited."
Do you have anything delicious?
"I\'m worried about that, too."
Maria means culture about me, and Dora and Serra seem to be looking forward to the Izmo Nation in the sense of food.
"We set up the \'portal\' of the Izmo Republic a little far from the capital, and from there, if you take a carriage to the city, you\'ll be there in less than 10 minutes. It\'s lunch time, but I\'m going to have a little patience for lunch in Izmo Republic."
With a few supplements, we were able to go to the Izmo Republic because the "Dragon Gate", a transfer device that was in the "Secret Border of the Dragon Race (Dragon Newt)", was connected to the Izmo Republic.
But the problem there is where the \'Dragon Gate\' is installed.
Surprisingly, the Dragon Gate was connected to the capital of the Izmo Republic.
Fortunately, it was less popular, and although it was good because it was transparent in "Transparency (Invisibility)" in < No Attribute Magic >, I didn\'t expect it to transfer to a country\'s capital.
You can\'t just set up a \'portal\' in a popular place.
I had no choice but to set up a "portal" a short distance from the capital.
If you get in the carriage from there, pussy will only look like a normal traveler.
"Yay! You can eat Japanese food quickly! That\'ll give you another repertoire."
"I want you to leave the taste to me!
I\'ll eat Dora too!
I can\'t really say much about people, but they\'re people who are true to their desires...
Yeah, you can\'t say anything about people at all.
"Dear Jen, to say traveling by carriage, will you also take Asha as your lord?
"Maria is right, let Asha take care of you. She handles horses best."
Be careful not to say that you treat horses (equines) well.
"You\'re so good at riding horses!
"He said he was careful not to say..."
"Oh, seriously?
But Mio told me, so I ruined it.
I feel like Mio and I are in the right place...
"Well, it\'s time to get ready for sightseeing..."
"Lord, the carriage is ready"
Now that we\'re done talking, I tried to get ready for a tour of the Izmo Republic, and Lucea, the maid chief who came into the hall, said that. I\'m just finishing up the conversation...
"That\'s fast..."
"I can\'t keep you waiting for the Lord."
I honestly have a problem with you saying that with your unmistakable eyes......
I mean, the maids don\'t want me to do anything? As soon as I try to do something in the mansion, the maid will come and take care of the work on her own. Naturally, you\'re better than me...
A: Consideration is to allow the master to immerse himself in his hobby, his desire alone.
I\'m almost lost in judgment as to whether that\'s okay with just the word "overprotective".
If you accept that completely, no, human. Isn\'t that a straight line? Even now, I think it\'s a little dangerous...
A: If you explicitly reject it, the maids have no right of veto.
Is that true? All right, when we get past degrees, let\'s refuse to help.
"We have already allowed the carriage to be transferred to the Izmo Republic. Likewise, Asha has been transferred. After that, as soon as the lords moved, we could leave."
"Ooh..."
The degree of blame is unusual.
I\'m sure it\'s my fault that I feel like I\'ve already crossed the line... right?
As Lucea showed us, we moved to Izmo Republic on the "Portal".
"Well, then, Asha, I\'ll take care of the carriage."
"Yeah, I get it. We just have to head to the capital, right?
"Oh, yeah"
Copy that.
When we made sure we got in the carriage, your man Asha drove the carriage.
Your husband, Asha and the carriage are similar, aren\'t they?
He arrived in the capital of the Republic of Izmo less than 10 minutes after Asha drove the carriage.
By the way, Asha\'s guy, he\'s plainly increasing his obedience. There are only A-rank adventurers who specialize in boulders and demons.
Next to Asha, who is still with you, is a slime that would have tasted.... Why slime?
A: After a mock fight with Tamo, Asha began to think of Tamo as an \'ideal demon\'. For this reason, it seems that we have decided to start by taming and growing slime.
Mr. Tamo\'s influence, Pane.
Well, Mr. Tamo is still in this carriage.
Look, you\'re sticking around the ceiling. That\'s what they\'re doing to keep us out of our sight.
Well, let\'s get back to Izmo Republic.
The name of the capital of the Republic of Izmo is\' End \'.
Are you taking it from Edo? Or are you taking it from Ozhang?
Either way, it\'s sprinkling inside. And it\'s a completely Japanese idea.
From what I can see on the map, there\'s a lot of interesting stuff going on.
The end was exactly as we imagined it to be in Castle Town.
It is surrounded by huge digs strewn with water and several bridges support the traffic.
The town centre is sloped, and on its top is another splendid Japanese-style castle.
There are a number of settlements around the moat that are not as central as they are, but they seem to be lively.
Those settlements are set with fields. Perhaps this settlement and the fields support the food situation. I don\'t see many fields in the center of the moat.
Not that there\'s a gate, but there\'s a gate on the bridge, and it looks like you have to go through the formalities at the gate to get into the capital.
"Hey, did you guys come from abroad?
As Asha moved the carriage closer to the station, a man receiving at the station spoke to her.
The man is wearing Japanese clothes with a disappointing physique. And he is a blonde blue-eyed.
Yes, almost all of this Izmo country is Japanese-style, and the only race is not Japanese. Instead, I don\'t see it enough to say dark-haired black eyes at all.
And the other thing that draws is the little one horn on the man\'s forehead. Yes, this man is a ghost race.
A ghost race is a species of ghosts with horns in their foreheads, such as foreheads, although a pah is not so different from a human being. Though physical ability outweighs human beings, it is a brain muscle race that does not treat magic well.
Incidentally, the Izmo Republic is also a brain muscle nation with ghost races accounting for about half of its population.
"Yeah, that\'s right."
"Oh, that\'s a long way to go. Even the nearest country is a few months out on the ocean, right? I like things."
Actually, the Izmo Republic is an island country.... No, I think I could have predicted enough.
I\'m not clandestine like Japan used to be, but there aren\'t many ships going to the Izmo Republic that don\'t have good transportation, and people rarely come in.
Therefore, in this country full of Japanese clothes, it even stands out when dressed close to clothes.
"Sort of. So, I\'d like you to issue a bill for seven, okay?
"Whoa, that\'s for seven. Wait a minute."
That\'s what I said. The receptionist prepared seven wooden plaques. This is the country, the town pass.
"It\'s 2,000 yen a piece, so it\'s 14,000 yen. Foreigners don\'t mind paying gold. The rate is one gold, one yen."
"If the rates are the same, shouldn\'t we share the currencies?
Asha throws the natural question.
But don\'t do anything thoughtful about \'circles\'...... Later, in the Edo period, it wasn\'t the currency unit \'yen\'. No, I know currency units are troublesome when they fit into the Edo era...
"Oh, that\'s what everyone thinks. But my first lord, who founded this country, has pushed me. I hear you\'re a great guy, but you\'re also famous for passing some impositions."
Maybe that \'impossibility\' was due to an attempt to fit Japanese culture.
How much I wanted to create a Japanese-style country...
"Heh, yeah. Yes, this is the price. After that, I\'d like you to change the gold to a circle?
"If that\'s the case, there\'s a bureau of exchange just across the bridge. You should have it replaced there. Yeah, they charge a little bit."
"I get it. Thank you."
Having said that, we are finally entering the capital of the Republic of Izmo, the End.... No, I went inside when I metastasized.
We crossed the bridge, switched the gold to a circle at a nearby exchange point, and left the carriage in the depository (Mr. Tamo will be sneaking around) and we finally decided to embark on a full sightseeing trip.
"Oh, it just feels like EDO!
"It\'s a view I\'ve only seen in a time play...... What do you use that tool for..."
In front of the familiar landscape, tensions between Mio and Sakura are skyrocketing.
I glance at my surroundings for a moment. It is as if it were you.
I\'m just saying capital, it\'s busy with quite a few people.
As a result, naturally speaking, our outfits are remarkable because of exotic culture.
"Maybe you should buy some clothes somewhere."
"Right. It\'s not good to stand out inadvertently."
Maria says to my statement that she\'s always on guard around her.
Oh, well. A lot of people means a lot of people to be wary of.
... I totally care too much though.
"With that said, Sakura and Mio had Japanese clothes before..., didn\'t you get a kimono?
I would have received an ancient kimono from Mr. Yukari (separate from his first lover) in the village of Queen Castar. Really sometimes, but I see him wearing it in the mansion.
"I have it, but it\'s pretty good, so I don\'t know if you want to wear it when wandering around town"
"Yes, so if you want to buy clothes, I want you to buy our share at that time..."
"Roger. So, where do you want to go from lunch or clothes?
"" "Lunch!
Three people say it together: Dora, Mio and Serra. Right!
By the way, Maria was about to say "clotheshop" for my safety, but she was being wiped out by three voices.
This will be a while later, but I forgot to prepare my Japanese clothes, so Maria, Lucea and about 100 maids are going to sit down against me.
"Take a look! Master, udon, udon!
"With that said, udon isn\'t in Mio\'s repertoire..."
As I was searching for a place to eat, Mio discovered the udon shop I was looking for.
Sakura\'s right, there were no other noodles in Mio\'s repertoire than pasta.
"Noodles other than pasta have to be made from noodles, right? I didn\'t even make noodles on boulders in my previous life. I made it if it was about bread...... But since it\'s a corner, I wonder if you can remember it here."
"If you\'re going to make noodles for real, I want you to get your hands on some ramen or something."
"Whoa, I\'ll give it a shot sooner or later."
Well, it\'s not unlikely there\'s a ramen recipe somewhere in this world.
The Japanese are moving so far. No wonder some uncompromising Japanese have reproduced ramen when it comes to cooking. No, you must be there.
"Well, let\'s just do the udon for lunch"
"Sassy!
"I\'m not sure, but if Mio says so, there\'s no mistake."
Udon Tataru!
There seems to be no objection, so lunch is up to Udon.
"Whoa! Are you guys eating udon? Then why don\'t you come to us? It\'s a delicious udon shop."
That\'s what brought me closer was a beautiful girl about 12 years old.
The girl wears a floral kimono and ponytails her red hair.
Second, I was concerned about the status, so I\'ll check it out. Which......
Name: Hannah Hattori
LV49
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Race: Human
Skills: Sneaky LV5
Title: Shinobu Hattori
What shall we do...... It\'s been a long time since I\'ve had too many scratches.
... All right!
"Well, I\'ll be there, can you show me around? Lady."
"Yes, 7 people. Oh, my name is Atri. Nice to meet you."
It\'s just completely through.
No, I saw the color of the unit on the map, and it was green showing indifference, so it doesn\'t look like something is going to happen right now.
Because I\'m not so barbaric as to rule it out just saying it\'s suspicious.
Looks like he\'s using a pseudonym, and maybe it means undercover assignments or superficial positions.
Just a word. I\'ve seen a lot of ninjas lately...
Guided by Atri (Hannah), he headed to the udon shop, a little off the main street.
Right. When I say hidden famous stores, I say they\'re not hidden (Strange Theory).
"Uncle, I\'ll show you 7 people ~"
"Oh, Han." Gohon! "... Dear Atri, Good luck!
When I opened the drawer and entered the store, Atri called out to a middle-aged man (old man), thinking he was the owner of the store with a voice he used to go through.
And Atri coughs to control the old man who almost accidentally runs the extra thing.
Apparently, this old man is also a ninja associate.
The store is an orthodox dining area lined with wooden tables and a number of benches.
Guests just chill out and don\'t seem to be thriving that far.
"Do you have a recommendation?
"I don\'t recommend it as a product name because the basics are Udon and the topping is the format I choose later. It\'s just that toppings are tough, I think it\'s popular around shrimp heaven."
Atri answers my questions without precipitation.
But was the type of udon store that picks toppings in the Edo period? No, can it happen...
Looking at the list of toppings in the store, there seem to be quite a few types of toppings.
"In the meantime, put all the toppings on it, please"
When they say toppings, they\'ll have no choice but to want to put it all on.
There, I don\'t say childish or anything.
"Is that so!? Well, I\'ll do that, too, please!
And Dora!
"Eh, one for all and... tight, shrimp heaven, one udon with an understanding..., a few noodles please..."
Sella and Dora also choose to ride them all, naturally.
Dora can\'t talk, so Sakura tells her about it.
"I\'m tough, prawn heaven, please. But I\'ll have the topping on a different plate. First of all, I want to identify the taste of vegetable udon."
Mio is totally the cook\'s gaze.
Maria and Asha also pick toppings and close the order.
"Aye, I can do it in about 10 minutes!
That said the old man went on to cook.
When we got to our seats, Apron... no, Atri in cooking clothes brought cold.
"Yes, this is cold. Brothers, you\'re dressed not to see, but a foreigner? What are you doing here at the end?
Atri asks me with an intriguing look, but I can peek at the secret seriousness behind its eyes.
I see you see Atri\'s role. For example, if a group like ours, suspicious to see, enters the capital, they will insignificantly approach it and gather information.
Thinking about it like that, it\'s too biased and unnatural to think that the target audience is just Udon stores. I wonder if it is in such a state that I can introduce a number of stores to the needs of customers.
A: There are a number of ninja-owned stores around.
Markings are made on some of the buildings on the map with Alta\'s remarks.
There are more than 10 of them. Rather, is most of the dining area near the entrance ninja-related?
The face of the ninjas\' table means cook. I\'m also convinced Atri has some cooking skills.
"Mm, tourism, tourism. I hear the culture of this country is interesting."
"Hmm, I love it when you pay so much for sightseeing."
"Yeah, because travel and sightseeing are like my hobbies."
Since I\'ve come to this world, my actions have generally been travel and tourism.
For once, I have a home...
"I can\'t believe tourism is a hobby these days. You\'re unusual."
"They often say that."
If I still chatted with Atri afterwards (an investigation of the name), it would not be long before 10 minutes had passed.
"Atri, I made seven udons!
"Ah, yes. Well, I\'ll get your udon."
Atri, called by the old man, walked over to the kitchen and came back with udon in the basin.
7 The basin hasn\'t rocked at all, while I have the udon on it. Yeah, how well the sense of balance in front of you (in a ninja sense) is showing.
"I\'ll have it" x 6
"Ma-su!
After the udon is arranged by Atri, we eat udon quickly.... I\'ll stretch.
"It was a pleasure" x 6
I did!
Yeah, it was delicious enough to beat the udon I ate in Japan.
Mio snorted satisfactorily.
However, I was a little concerned that Atri was observing us the whole time...
