I slowly got up from my seat, pushed away the daze and spoke.

“I just had a nightmare.”

“Something like that? Well, that’s a relief… … He was moaning in such pain that I was worried he might be sick.”

Iren sighed deeply and then smiled slightly.

Although I haven’t gotten used to the way he speaks yet, he seems to be a very calm person.

“Rather than that, didn’t something bigger happen on Irene’s side?”

“What are you talking about?”

I asked, looking at her squinting and asking a question.

“Or are you just wearing underwear at home?”

“… … Ah.”

She seemed to have finally realized what I meant, and her face turned red and-

He quickly took three steps back and spoke while covering his chest and pelvis with his hands.

Of course, just because it was covered, it didn’t mean that everything was covered.

“This is… … That, that… … While I was changing into my training uniform, Swen, I heard your distressed voice… … just… … !”

“Okay, so please hurry up and get dressed. I’m embarrassed too.”

“… … I’m sorry… I’m sorry… … that… … Boo, if I offended you, please forgive me. It wasn’t intentional… … !”

“It’s okay.”

It wasn’t particularly unpleasant.

To be honest, it was a body with a lot of things to see.

It may make your mouth hurt to mention the big breasts, but they were so large and attractive that I couldn’t help but mention them.

Her waist had strong, well-defined muscles that clearly showed her training as a female knight.

I thought that her thighs were also thick and solid, which would properly support her body as she continued to clash her swords with her enemies.

Black lace underwear and a garter belt were added to the beautiful female body.

In conclusion, the scenery was enough to push away my dazed mind and wake me up from sleep.

After all the commotion had passed.

“… … Hmm, hmm. It looked like I couldn’t see it. I apologize once again.”

She appeared in front of me wearing a training uniform.

… … The problem was the training uniform.

Only the exposure ratio was different from the underwear she was wearing just now, and she was wearing a top that looked similar to a tank top and shorts.

A garter belt and something resembling stockings were tightly wrapped around her thighs.

“Is this different from wearing underwear?”

“Huh? of course. Isn’t this a training uniform? Just now, that… … Cow, underwear… … It was.”

She blushed as if she were embarrassed.

Does this mean that once you put on something called clothes, you’re not embarrassed?

Well, even though the armor of the female knights in these fantasy games is armor, there are many cases where they expose their stomachs.

“So what are you planning to do today? Are you doing your job as expected?”

“It’s work… … .”

She said with a wry smile.

“If I had a task to do, I would have done it… … There is no special task given by the lord.”

‘Huh, indeed.’

Iren was an S-class general with high military power.

It was clear that carrying out tasks such as military-influenced training, conscription, and castle wall repair would be extremely effective.

Of course – I now understand why Rin doesn’t use her.

‘I’m really hated so much.’

Starting with sending me, a man, to a woman’s house.

Even though the monarch is openly criticizing and tormenting her, her loyalty remains unwavering.

It was a situation I couldn’t help but feel sorry for.

As the ‘compatibility value’, which was only set to -100 in the game, became a reality, it felt like the cruelty became clearer.

“Then?”

“You’re asking me everything. Why do you think I wore this clothes?”

Iren said that and slowly picked up a sword lying in the corner of the room.

“If I have time left, I just practice. If I waste time just because I have a given task, I will eventually become rusty. It is something that must be done in order to be active when the master calls you someday.”

“You have great will.”

“How about it, would you like to join us? We have prepared a wooden sword that is good for beginners.”

She seemed to know at a glance that I was a beginner – to be precise, my strength was not very high.

I was worried for a moment, but quickly declined.

“It’s okay. I have something else to do.”

“Is that so? Well, if you have something to do.”

“Before that, I want to ask you something.”

I pointed to the paper lying on the desk and the feather pen in the ink.

“Is it okay if I use those items?

“Do you mean paper? It’s okay to use it.”

“Then please excuse me.”

“Um.”

After answering that, she takes up the sword and approaches the place where the scarecrow is.

And then, after taking a short deep breath and sighing-

“… … Down!”

He started swinging his sword at the scarecrow with a shout of joy.

It’s a simple movement, but if you repeat it often, it will definitely have some effect.

Are the abilities of an S-class general gradually raised from the bottom like this?

Anyway, since I received permission, I approached the desk and unfolded the paper.

The most important task I have to do now.

It was about drawing a map.

Although the continents themselves looked the same in this game, the location of each country was not fixed at the start of each game.

Because I’ve played the game for 10,000 hours, I can at least memorize what countries there are – but I can’t draw the exact castle or territory they occupy.

Still, it was enough to draw at least the periphery of Brans Bureau.

My only ability is to find out ‘what the conclusion’ is.

I don’t know why that conclusion was reached.

As such, it was clear that drawing a map and organizing the information in one’s mind would provide a good insight into why this conclusion was reached.

With that thought in mind, I picked up a pen.

“Ha!”

It may be a tedious task that requires some time, but it wasn’t too bad that Iren’s cheering sound became white noise.

*

The day ended like that.

Irene, who was free from work, was living a life almost like a superhuman.

Wake up, wash your body lightly, and then start practicing.

Then eat lunch.

She prepared lunch, and it was a frugal meal consisting of plain rye bread and a quick spread of butter.

They always gave me a car, but I couldn’t tell exactly what kind of car it was.

Just black tea or something green tea… … Otherwise, it must be water brewed from some kind of tea leaves.

It wasn’t bad. The scent was pretty good too.

After eating, training continues again.

And then have dinner.

Dinner included a salad with dried fish, bread, and vegetables mixed in a moderate amount.

Her training ended only after dinner.

It was truly the image of a monk silently walking the path of the sword.

I asked her as she came out after taking a bath after dinner, with water dripping from the ends of her hair.

“Are you taking a break now?”

“Huh? That’s right.”

“Is this how you practice every day?”

“Basically, I always follow this routine when I’m not at work.”

“You’re amazing.”

Iren didn’t specifically respond to my exclamation, but slowly opened the bread and asked.

“Now that I think about it, it looks like you were drawing a map.”

“Yes, that’s right. Because I wanted to understand the surrounding situation of Brans Bureau.”

“The level of completeness of the map is very high. Do you have any experience in making maps?”

The level of completion has to be high.

It was a map I had seen dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of times while playing the game.

How many mouse clicks did you make while looking at this map?

Still, I couldn’t say it straight away.

“Well, a little bit.”

“I see. You have an unexpected history.”

When I thought it was going well, I asked her a question.

“Now that I think about it, Irene.”

“Huh?”

“I know the continent’s topography well… … I haven’t figured out what countries are around Brans yet, but if you know anything, could you help me?”

After hearing what I said, she nodded and said.

“Are you asking for help with production?”

“Yes.”

“Mmm. I don’t know if I can help.”

“It’s helpful. Irene is a multi-talented person.”

My true feelings came out without me knowing, but she said with a subtle smile, probably because she thought I was flattering her.

“Even if you float it like that, nothing comes out. Still, I don’t feel bad.”

huh?

Compared to what you say, you seem to be in a pretty good mood.

Are you the type of person who is thirsty for recognition rather than thought?

Well, no matter how hard he tried, it seemed like he would have no choice but to be persecuted by his lord, the person he most wanted to be recognized for.

“Why not? Irene likes it.”

“… … Do you tend to talk like that to just anyone?”

“It can’t be.”

I said that and grinned.

Irene looked at me like that and slowly approached me with a faint smile.

It had only been a day since we met, but I felt like I could communicate subtly well with her.

She didn’t seem to be that wary of me either.

“Well, if I can help, I’ll help you.”

She came closer to me.

Inevitably, her enormous breasts touched my body.

It doesn’t feel that bad.

“First of all, there are various weak countries in the West… … This page is filled in. ”

“I figured it out when I was working in Lunarien County.”

“Then let’s go to the east. There are three forces here, and the one that borders the border is Aethus County. I think the only country you need to be careful about is Aceus County. Beyond, the Charam and Alefel counties are weak states that rule over small territories.”

Charam County and Alefel County.

It’s a name everyone knows.

Both were small and insignificant countries.

The talent pool was so-so, and the monarch’s ability was slightly lower than that of an ordinary person.

Extra countries that cannot leave any traces in history unless the player catches them.

In the world I was possessed by, it seemed to have respawned around Aishous County.

It should be a lot better than respawning around Serphina-kun, but… … Still, they won’t have much of a way to beat the Aceers army.

but.

‘huh?’

Two weak countries… … Are they all alive?

Even so, it was a bit surprising that he was still alive.

It was a common trend in this type of confrontation that at least one of them had already been trampled by the Acious Army’s military boots and disappeared.

If it were possible for Acious to be eaten, he would have been eaten long ago, right?

Just as the Serpina army quickly eliminated the surrounding weak countries, the Aishous army also used its overwhelming talent pool to prey on the surrounding powers in just the first three months.

Could it be that two weak countries have formed an alliance and are creating a strangely balanced relationship with the Aishous army?

Then, one question remains.

If that is true, there are two fronts from the Aicious point of view, and the Brans army had no reason not to invade the Aicious army, which was inevitably slow to respond due to the divided front lines.

‘… … There’s something.’

I didn’t know exactly what it was, and I wondered if this was such important information…

In any case, it was clear that something was happening that would not have happened under normal circumstances.

I asked her a question just in case.

“Irene. Do Charam-gun and Alefel-gun still exist on the continent?”

“That’s right. Charam County recently presented gold to our county.”

“???”

You gave me money?

Of course, there were diplomatic mandates for giving money to promote friendship – but no one used them.

In this game, no matter how much friendship you raise, it doesn’t mean much unless you’re an alliance.

Rather than that, when money was given in the name of promoting friendship, it was for something else.

After raising his favorability level, he promised a joint attack… … .

‘When they hit us in the back, everything.’
