▶Episode I. Clear Ruthmire’s Isolation!◀

▶We succeeded in influencing the Ruthmire territory by arresting the criminal, Touspel!◀

The three knights, or rather the three bandits, were easily suppressed.

Perhaps because I had the upper hand in terms of stats, their movements were truly sloppy and pointless.

Until the end, the guy named Touspel grabbed his sword again and attacked as if struggling, but he didn’t feel very strong.

I didn’t realize it until I developed the character because I only saw the dot screen.

When I moved my body, I felt something awkward.

‘it’s okay. ‘With this, we have taken the first step.’

Is there anything complicated to think about?

I’ve only just cleared the episode.

-Tiring!

▶Deanna was successfully transported to the hospital.◀

[ Remaining time limit: 20 hours 33 minutes ]

▶There is plenty of time left. Deanna’s recovery has been accelerated and the time required to enter the village has been greatly reduced!◀

▶We succeeded in bringing about a result that went beyond the options!◀

▶Additional rewards follow!◀

‘What are the additional rewards? Even so, I’m going to mark it with three question marks again.’

I end up complaining like that in my mind.

In the beginning ??? When the mark disappears and something helpful appears. So, it was true that it was a great help when solving Camilla’s dead trigger.

So, I had high expectations the next time I saw the same message, but since the game’s system didn’t allow it, I couldn’t help it after that.

It was there in the message, but it suddenly disappeared before I knew it.

Even when I checked to see if there was anything different from the existing content, there wasn’t much change.

Thanks to this, my expectations were completely extinguished.

‘…uh?’

▶The entry grace time for Ruthmire Territory and Lemten Village is completely exhausted!◀

[You can now enter Lemten Village. ]

[Risk Level: Warning]

If you look at the sentences that are directly revealed instead of question marks, it is not something that should be overlooked.

You can enter the Rusmire territory only after the three knights who disguised themselves as bandits and plundered have been punished.

The period is about two days.

After the character named Deanna recovered in the hospital room and returned with Kiyan, the lock was unlocked and Karssein could enter.

If you shorten those two days.

If only we could enter Ruthmeyer two days earlier.

‘You will achieve a higher level of achievement. If you do this, you’ll have time to visit the Chatrene territory!’

Either way, it was a huge benefit.

While I was lost in many thoughts.

The children, who looked about 2 to 3 years younger than Karsein, seemed to have finished talking among themselves.

“Thank you so much. My lord. How can I express my gratitude…”

The girl named Deanna regained her color and expressed her gratitude in front of me.

So did the other three boys. He repeatedly bowed and said thank you over and over again.

“Thank you for helping me like this… but I don’t have anything else to give… ”

-Tiring!

▶This selection is automatic!◀

[ 1. Then, please show me around your village. ]

…oh my god.

How can things work out like this?

The original development is that they are suspicious of the real reason why they were saved.

Of course, the only person who had distrust towards the nobles was extinguished by Kiyan, and now that even Toni and Melik have become close to each other, their distrust has subsided, but Deanna must have been even more suspicious since it was her first time meeting him.

But you’re willing to give me a tour of the village like this? Even today?

“Then, please show me around your village.”

There was no reason not to go.

This alone has already saved me two days and a few more hours.

***

Since you have cleared the episode by simultaneously achieving the two biggest factors affecting Ruthmire, it will not be difficult to enter the village.

But, I know.

Even if it were possible to enter the village like this, I could never feel at ease.

The first episode of Chapter 2, which started from a sub-episode, must be completed once the main episode has been decided.

The moment there is even the slightest problem, the right to participate in the Eastern Noble Assembly is revoked, and this is directly linked to Karssein’s bad ending.

‘Even that was an episode I worked on earlier. Even though the plot has been twisted, this part will inevitably come with a bad ending.’

-Tiring!

▶Episode II. The hand that shakes it off is in progress!◀

▶Enter into the Rusmire territory and Lemten Village and resolve the suspicions of the villagers!◀

Is it finally starting?

As soon as I set foot on the land of Ruthmire’s territory, Episode II automatically appeared.

From here on, you must not make even a single mistake.

▶You have entered the warning area!◀

[Be careful! Additional options may arise through conversations with the territory’s residents! ]

As the carriage door opened, gazes filled with deep emotions turned in this direction.

To none other than me.

‘Considering the story within the game, it’s not just Kiyan. The residents of this village are also suffering. To those called nobles.’

What happened to them?

What kind of injustice was done to them?

What happened to them?

From the perspective of the residents of this village, every single thing will come to mind vividly.

And the system never misses this.

-Tiring!

[ 1. (Whistling) Everyone, your eyes are so harsh? ]

[ 2. (Frowning) This is too much. Even though the lord came all the way here, isn’t his attitude too cold? ]

[ 3. (Silence.) ]

These were choices that were dizzying just to look at.

If option 3 wasn’t changed to silence due to not being able to meet the level of intimacy with a specific person, it seemed like I would be immediately kicked out of here.

However, I was currently fully satisfied with the level of intimacy with a specific person.

“Uncle Barak!”

“Kiyan? Why are you there…”

“Stay. Tony and Melik are also seen. And Deanna?”

“What happened? Those children walked out of the nobleman’s carriage.”

Even adults seemed confused because the level of intimacy between not one but four people was raised.

Of course, according to option 3, all I have to do is keep my mouth shut.

“Master Karssein has become the owner of our village, no, the Rusmire territory!”

“That’s not all! He even lent me a carriage to take Deanna to the hospital!”

“Me. So, I am completely healed now. Can you see how lively he is?”

“And those knights from Count Modric. Even though I knew Deanna was dangerous, I deliberately didn’t get out of the way, but the lord took care of everything!”

“What…?”

The boys and girls relayed the events of today in happy voices, as if bragging.

Before long, the status window popped up again.

▶The vigilance of the people of Ruthmire Territory is softening!◀

[Risk: Caution]

Previously, the warning would only go down to the limit, and from then on, options would appear.

Optional map related to nobility. An optional map related to the Duke of Bagland, who reigned at the pinnacle of nobility. An optional map filled with all kinds of distrust and doubt.

It was going to come out again and again and harass me.

So, I was planning to take advantage of the information Camilla had gathered and my experience with Retry’s new technique.

The initial options that come up when entering the village just don’t appear. I wondered how I would react to the question of whether I had deceived Kiyan, but he didn’t even come to me. The risk level was lowered by two levels to caution rather than limit.

In that state, a man approached me.

This was an opportunity.

■Owned items

◆Ivory colored rope

[Number: 4]

I took out all four ropes and showed them to them.

The man’s eyes widened.

“I can’t say that I didn’t aim at anything, but I had no intention of fooling those guys.”

After being silent for a moment, he spoke with a calm expression.

“…I am Barak, the chief of Lemten Village. Is it okay if we change seats?”

“Any amount.”

As expected, this time too, all existing questions were omitted.

I liked it. There is no reason to refuse this as it goes straight to the next step.

***

This is the house of Barak, the chief of Lemten Village, located in the center of Rusmire.

It was a place we arrived at after passing through the pouring gaze of the villagers and residents of the territory.

Now that we’ve entered the village chief’s house, you might think that the villagers’ suspicions have been resolved.

▶Episode II. The hand that shakes it off is in progress!◀

▶Enter into the Rusmire territory and Lemten Village and resolve the suspicions of the villagers!◀

As you can see from the status window, their suspicions are not over yet.

Although Deanna announced that she was feeling better and Kiyan relayed everything that had happened today with her friends, distrust was alleviated to some extent, but the villagers’ views were still negative.

They have been ostracized and object of all kinds of hatred and contempt among the lands of the colluding nobles.

So you can be sure.

At this level, I can never get rid of the doubt.

That was the feeling I knew best, having been ostracized even by my family.

-Dalgak.

“Considering the village’s finances, it is difficult to treat the master to high-class drinks such as tea. I brought you at least a little warm milk, so please have some of it.”

Chief Barak.

He said to me, holding out a mug filled with warm milk.

A steaming glass of milk.

There’s nothing better to eat this winter, when the slightly chilly chill still lingers.

▶Drinking milk slightly reduces coldness and fatigue.◀

Looking at the window, I checked the numerical value of the condition next to me.

Although these numbers are not dangerous, the effects are not completely zero and can be a bit annoying. This is an opportunity to alleviate a condition that needs to be managed directly.

However, this is just a clever trick.

▶From now on, your episode achievements will be filled based on your choices!◀

▶Would you like to drink the milk offered by Chief Barak?

[ 1. Drink. ]

[ 2. Push out without drinking. ]

Even this small action already means the creation of a choice.

There is also a clever twist to the system. At first glance, it appears that the direction of the episode is created through choices, but there is no mention of the lack of achievement.

It means that they no longer notify you that a bad ending appears here.

I immediately pushed the mug away.

[ 2. Push out without drinking. ] ☑

“Milk is a high-quality food rich in nutrients. Feed it to the children. You’re not giving it to me.”

“Even so, shouldn’t you treat the young master as your lord?”

“I know that milk is a food that is difficult to find. I understand that because there is not a good environment to raise dairy cows, they are mainly bought and fed to children.”

Barak pursed his lips.

As he said, this milk was not something I was supposed to feed.

“…Okay. However, since this milk has already been heated, someone must be present to feed it immediately. Who can I give it to?”

-Tiring!

▶Additional options have emerged!

▶Who should I order to bring me milk?

[ 1. Barak ]

[ 2. Deanna ]

[3. Kiyan]

[4. Melik]

[5. Tony]

…

…

Additional options follow.

Intimacy changes depending on who you give the warm milk to.

Number 1 is an obvious trap.

Rather than increasing Barak’s intimacy, it falls further.

The same goes for the three boys in numbers 3, 4, and 5.

It wasn’t something that would benefit me greatly from drinking that milk.

So, I originally chose number 2 here.

The child at greatest risk was Deanna, and wouldn’t it be most reasonable to judge that feeding her milk would have the greatest effect?

Then, the intimacy not only with Deanna but also with the village residents increased, and awareness in the village also increased slightly.

However, I don’t think that’s the right answer right now.

‘No matter how you look at it, it’s awkward. Deanna must have fully recovered, so why is her name still floating around?’

That’s right. We need to give to those who need it most.

This choice is quite important.

Simply feeding milk is not everything.

This is because it is the only opportunity to create a conversation starter in this territory.

‘You can’t miss it. The moment you miss it, it’s over!’

I rolled my head, ready to recall all the information related to Ruthmeier.

Camilla cut out the documents she had brought, page by page, and began replaying them in her head.

‘statue? money? Layout of the village? no. Unlike this… something that only appears here…’

At that moment, my head lit up.

“In the Ruthmeyer estate, most children show symptoms of malnutrition. Ruthmeyer’s disease, a disease unique to children from childhood to adolescence in which the cough gets worse and the patient becomes bedridden for a while.”

Barak’s eyes, which had been locked, suddenly came to life.

“The reason is that we only eat food that grows only there. Considering that the bodies of people who ate the same food were fine, it was not the diet itself that was the problem, but it was later revealed that the cause was that children were strangely unable to absorb nutrients evenly.”

“…”

“So, in cases like this, I usually feed them milk. If you feed milk, the missing nutrients will be absorbed, and the cough will soon stop and the fever will go down. Strangely enough, it heals so quickly that you don’t think it’s a disease.”

This was a very important hint.

thanks. Camilla.

Thanks to you, I was able to recall all of these hints without missing a single one.

“Milk and nutritional deficiencies. and Ruthmeier disease. Even though there’s only one child coughing, you’re not going to serve it to me, are you?”

okay. The child must drink this milk.

“Delfina. You have to feed that child.”

Without missing a beat, I even mentioned the child’s name.

[ 7. Delfina ]☑
