“Ahh, jeez! Just sitting here thinking about this all alone won't get me anywhere!”

Even if there was no one there to hear it, Caot to her feet

This wasn't the tihts like these

In situations like this, the best thing she could do was get out of the house until she felt better Maybe things would get resolved without her having to worry about it, that hat Ca else she et her mind off it

That's why Camilla was now in the kitchen, just a slither of time before noon

The kitchen was already packed full of people getting ready to cook

Most of the hastily built temporary homes didn't have kitchens in them They usually didn't even have their own bathrooms either When they said that these homes were to be te you could really say about them was that they had four walls and a roof

Therefore, communal facilities had to be hastily erected as well Another large building was constructed near the te areas and restrooms, made free to use by all

And inside the communal kitchen in that place was Camilla The kitchen, which was constructed in a way that it could be easily taken apart later, had an oven that was a nightnite and a kiln that was cumbersome to bake bread in bumpy and mismatched countertops were placed side by side to form a bench

On top of a faulty and worn-out furnace a brand new pot sat in co the pot were the cooks and chefs of the Montchat family, who had travelled all the way from the capital

After a month, help had come from further afield than just Grenze The relief from Grenze had mostly come in the forold and supplies flow

The land had begun to stray into the winter months On top of that, the land of Mohnton was the northerndom of Sonnenlicht So in Einst, a land even further north than the territory's capital, the biting chill had already begun to set in Those few farun to wither aith the animals themselves shepherded inside for the season Left to their own devices, what could they eat? Toxic plants or poisonous toads out of the bogs? With their food reserves ruined, the loo very oun to find their feet after that disaster

Therefore, in the aftermath of the calamity, meals were provided for the people of Einst Led by the cooks employed by the Montchat household, cooked food was distributed to the people daily, and Camilla often pitched in

For Cah to help in the rebuilding and reclaredients for the cooks

At first, the people there were a bit anxious about having Camilla in the kitchen, but after she put in a few shi+fts they didn't ht now, Caside the other chefs and didn't look out of place at all whilst doing it Caetables were thoroughly washed and peeled before she cut theed looks with one another, as they carried large sacks of wheat into that busy kitchen

“That's right I want to know exactly what kind of impression you have of hietables in hand, Camilla turned to look at the two otten used to

Theo and Leon looked a bit puzzled at the sudden line of questioning Wondering just how to answer her, they did their best to ansithout causing any offense

“I suppose he's a cal that so suddenly?”

“Just a whiht of him, that's all”

She was still worried about just exactly what Alois was thinking, so Ca herself If people in toere happy with Alois and hat he was doing, then everything should be fine In a way, by listening to the thoughts of the townspeople, she hoped to avail herself of her own doubts

“…I see?”

Theo nodded in a way that ied Leon who stood next to hi for help

“Lord Alois is a mild-mannered and serious man In his oay, he always seems calm and measured No matter what kind of attitude or words he received from the influential people of Einst in the past, he never once lost his cool”

“Hmm,” Camilla mused to herself This town had always had a prickly attitude against Alois Camilla had never actually witnessed those sorts of clashes in person, but it wasn't hard for her to iht about how she was received here originally

“I alondered just how he stopped hie But, he really is a sharp ed to always parry the most barbed questions and hostile remarks What can I really say? That he's quite incredible, a man who doesn't make any mistakes? It's hard forfor you to find any faults”

As Camilla said that, Theo smiled wryly

“Still, I wonder just why it was? Most people here still didn't like his are different now,” Theo added in a hurry, but Theo's amendment didn't matter much to Camilla
