A guest room in the Godwin County residence.
Count Godwin returned home, with all the main aspects of the mansion.
"Um... can we stay here?"
Lauretta asks Jesse in horror.
"It's okay."
It's better to listen to Lauretta and Manuel. ”
Jesse says cheerfully.
"Hah... I see."
Lauretta nodded.
"Well... I took tea and something sweet to explain."
After Count Godwin has flattened the tea with the sweets in front of him, he says:
Everyone's attitude is straightened out by the words.
"Well... what?"
Today, before noon, a declaration of war arrived from the Demon Kingdom.
In summary, 'the Kingdom of Azpar shall return the territory of our people that it took 400 years and decades ago, or else it shall only be recaptured with the exercise of power'. "
“As usual.”
Jesse nodded to Count Godwin's words.
Hmmm.
The date of the war was August 15. ”
"August 15th? Today is July 9.
You're faster than usual. ”
Jesse leans over.
"Oh, right.
The declaration of war before the war was delivered to the capital a month ago.
We arrived about five days early. ”
Nhh... is there something about this?
"I don't know where it is.
We had a meeting together... but there was nothing in particular I thought of.
Therefore, I decided to take a positive view that preparation would take about a week. "
"If you think so, that's fine."
So, did you request to join the war? "
"Hmm, I reported to the King's Capital, and I told the Elvis and Templars."
And of course the Kitamizato family.
However, Takeo leads His Majesty's Royal Institution.
No matter how much I have to obey all the orders, I won't have any right to do so. "
"Yes... but you'll come, won't you?"
Jesse says.
"Oh, you'll come."
I heard about the city raid at the Earl of Elvis earlier, and I've actually met him, but I don't think he's going to join us here. ”
Everyone nodded to the words of Count Godwin.
"Therefore, at present, we are making reports and requests to various places."
I've arranged to stock up on more stockpiles of this mansion since it's wartime, as we decided. ”
"Yeah, I'm sorry.
That's fine as a mansion.
Experience has shown that prices fluctuate frequently during periods of war.
It would be good if I could add it to my current purchase when it is stable.
The amount to bring to Seki is stored in a town close to Seki based on the stockpile status of each town, and it is to be brought to the battlefield at any time. "
“That's exactly what I planned.”
Jesse nods.
"Every time it happens, a store will be opened in a tent near Kansai... Originally, we had to keep the local people away from the battlefield, but we will remain silent.
If you're going to do something bad, you're going to get caught. ”
You should ask each union to do that, right?
"The General Superintendent's Office and the Economic Affairs Bureau are moving to manage it."
"Well... I guess I'll be relieved."
Jesse nods.
"Hmm... so, that's it.
Jesse, would you please go to the Count Elvis' house during the war? "
Count Godwin tells Jesse.
"... I am certainly a member of the Elvis family, and I am the one who came to marry the Godwin family."
But I'm Fred Jerry Godwin's wife.
I'm not going to leave the territory and run backwards, I'm not going backwards until I let the territory run away.
There may be no territory, but if there's a territory, there's a nation.
That's why we need to evacuate even one of our own, and we need someone to make a decision.
I will not relinquish that responsibility. ”
Count Godwin is listening with his eyes closed.
Everyone nodded at Jesse's readiness.
"Hah... that's what I used to say."
"That's what you said last time."
Count Godwin nodded as Jesse muttered as if he had given up.
"If you're wearing a boy..."
This time, after seeing everyone off, there will be my parents, Alice and the others, and it will be safe. "
Jesse rubbed his stomach and said.
"Ma'am! Are you a boy?!"
The maid said in amazement.
Everyone is surprised with their eyes wide open.
"Yeah, I only told everyone that I was tortured, but I know that Alice's spirit Konoha-sama and Takeo-san's spirit Pana-sama had diagnosed as boys."
I was going to announce it in a few minutes.
... I didn't think it would be today. "
Jesse smiles bitterly.
"Countess! Madam! Congratulations again!"
"" "Congratulations!" "
After the butler's words, everyone bows their heads at once.
At the Godwin's house, it was a day when the murder came at the same time.
------------------------
The staff room in the dormitory.
"Sure enough... you have the signature of the Acting Dean of the Academy and the Director of the Human Resources Bureau."
... I see.
We will accept the night out notification of five Elvis and the others. "
Officials say it.
“Thank you.
It's hard to take them out unexpectedly, isn't it? ”
“Basically, we value autonomy.
However, if the student submits an outing notification during the night, the reason will be confirmed and the student will be allowed to go out.
Gina goes to the Imperial Castle too, so she comes out often. "
"I'm sorry, most of that is my business."
"No, I think Gina is eager to ripen her work because she says, 'It's both jobs.'"
We will continue to do so, but thank you very much.
Takeo lowered his head.
