Chapter 138

It’s the nature of the world to change with the ages

The age with the kingdoht of prosperity is also approaching a turning point

The one to throw the dice was the commonwealth

The commonwealth declared war and made an accord with Sacra soon after

While Alseid kingdom is surrounded by enemies from three directions, it would be left with a situation of eneton principality that’s currently continuing a desperate resistance falls and, given that, the downfall would be a matter of time

According to the reports fro of 80 thousand members from the commonwealth’s forces, 50 thousand from Austia principality’s and, 50 thousand fro preparations to advance

The total count for the ar that is 100 thousand, the Wilton principality force that Kran stationed in the royal capital is 5 thousandAs such, the sum total becomes a formation of 105 thousand

The people’s livelihood has become a strained affair, as this has already completely entered a wartime system

The capabilities of transportation should be taken note of as, co has become rare to the extreme and, that seems to have become yet another restriction

Additionally, dealing with the large quantity of refugees accepted in fro as could be hoped, the kingdo by as the decisive battle approaches

It’ll be a huge issue if so like the National Mobilization Law comes into effect

「Saira, Saira～?」

「Ah, hai desu nya!」

I found who I was searching for, while walking about the mansion

Though while saying that since she was in the book rooh

She ca happy, when I came into the room

Saira’s cute

「Is so the matter desu nya?」

「Un, I’ht I should do Saira tooI’d like for you to answer this after considering properly but……」

Pausing for one beat, I urge the Saira with a curious see face to ready her heart

「I, will intervene in the fight that’s going to occur after thisI can’t guarantee life and deathIf you return to the countryside, I’ll guarantee your livelihood so I’d like you to prepare your things」

「I don’t like that nya!」

It was an instant response

After that, it was a little angry

「……You’ve properly considered it?」

「I, don’t want to separate fro armaments such that Alice-san and everyone stays alive is also, my role! I won’t hand it over to anyone desu nya!」

There’s no lie, in those eyes overfloith strong determination

I suppose this isn’t a conclusion that ca with the flow

「It can’t be helped can itCertainly, you arelike an imouto」

「Hai desu nya! We’ll be together until death!」

No no, haven’t you made too much of a resolution

「Ma, since I won’t die」

「Nyafu」

I lightly gifted her the chop I inherited directly from Till

Saira bent her ani embarrassed

「Shall we do cooking together after this, Saira? I’ll see how proficient you’ve become for you」

「Hai desu! I’m happy desu nya!」

Did you know that I can occasionally hear the maid-sans’s screams, when you

force your way into the mansion’s kitchen?

「Since such things as follow up attacks being made on everyone while they rest on the battlefield for ic isn’t it……if we don’t plan ahead while worrying about what is to come……」

U and this ti eyes

「Awful desu nya」

◇■◇■◇

We arrived at the kitchen, with such a reason

While cooking tools and seasonings are gathered here, it’s also sparkling fro

Of course, there shouldn’t be any Cs showing up

I’ll cry if one comes out

I’ll faint if it flies

「The ingredients are……AWhat should we make, Saira?」

I try looking into the freezer that uses ice crystals and, e quantities

While saying that, there aren’t all thatin this mansion so, I suppose an a in the annexe

「It’s haer here desu nyaa!」

「NyaI see～」

Tasty～stuff isn’t it, haer?

With that decided it’s preparation time

Tyingaprons on

Saira has a pink flower pattern, she has an adorable apron on

Eh, me?

It’s a plain cream color apron you know, is there a necessity, for adorability?

「Nyafu, Alice-san loves changing hairstyles nyaEvery hairstyle is beautiful!」

「Tha, thank youBut I just tied it back because it was getting in the way okay?」

Ponytail, I suppose people who love it love it though

「Recently Alice-san’s, hairstyle has changed a little nya」

「Aah, un……since I want to use this ribbon you see」

I try stroking Till’s blue ribbon that’s tied on the back of my head

「O-shi+shou-sama……uu」

「Wawaa, please don’t cry Saira! Look, cooking! Shall we enjoy cooking?」

Further as the phylactery for Ilya’s dragon pact so, I have to keep it on without re it even when I’m naked okay?

「Gusu……hai desu nya……soy」

「Look, would you blow your nose～?」

I offered a tissue out and, Saira took that and fully blew her nosea chiーーーn sound

She’d become a little red

「Fufu, you’re like a reindeer」

「It, it’s e and kind……I, feel safe when I’m with Alice-san……So I don’t want us to separate desu nya」

Turning red, while grasping her apron, the Saira saying that while fidgeting is too cute the extent of a cheat

「Thank you, but I also cried a lot you know……Even now, tears co」

「Is it okay, for us to sleep together tonight!?」

「Fufu……then, perhaps I’ll ask for that? I’llpillow so, be prepared okay～?」

「Hai desu nya!」

Even if I’uard, Saira’s cattily cute issn’t she

「Then shall we do cooking? To start with use the onion to……onion……?」

I tried looking in Saira’s direction

I made her cat ears jump up, with a puzzled face

「Ano……Saira, are you alright with onions?」

To be sure when given to dogs, cats or such, I’ve heard that it causes the syh

「? Onions, are tasty you know?」

「Ah, that so? That’s so isn’t it……」

It’s thethat even if she has cat ears, Saira is human

It’s still full of things I don’t know, fantasy

「On that note, are we using onions?」

「Eh? They’re

They’re norer」

「I, thought ere just frying the mince nya……」

「……Could it be that」

Saira nodded with her jaw hanging

「This isthis nya……」

I seee

Then this er, she chose what she wanted to eat doesn’t it?

「I understand, then let’s ether? Since it’s a promise okay」

「Hai desu! Cooking with Alice-san, happy desu nya!」

E～tto, then start by finely cutting the onion, I suppose

「Saira, can you cut finely?」

「Cut finely?」

「Nn, let’s have me demonstrate」

I put the skinned onion on the chopping board

After pro it into halves with the kitchen knife, I quickly startit……mince……!

「My eyes……my eyes……s!!」

「A, Alice-san!?」

「Ah, I’ it」

「Eh, eeeh!?」

But, it’s true that it stings doesn’t it～

「Te, tears are co out nya……」

「They always do, when cutting onions don’t they?」

The onions over here really are, also the same aren’t they～

Onions, I wonder how they’re called over here?

Maa, it’s fine either way though

「Hai finishedCutting finely is done in thisit?」

A tirasped the kitchen knife

Herit was, that, how to say it……very, unwieldy

She’s putting in too much power or rather……

At this point I’m afraid……
