▶Memorial has ended.◀

“…”

Afterwards, Memorial showed a scene where they tried to prove the weak efficacy contained in rotten seeds.

Karssein felt like grasping at straws and had to use up this rotten seed. As we delved deeper into Lohea seeds, we discovered that its benefits actually exist even in rotten seeds. However, its efficacy is very weak and is much lower than its original power.

Still, the guy didn’t give up.

Lohea seeds are effective when sowed widely in the soil anyway. In that case, it was thought that the weak power of this rotten seed would be sufficient if it were applied only to the flowerpot area or to a single crop.

It was a smart decision.

If we created and proved the hypothesis that this could be proven in a small number of pots rather than a large number of seeds, all misunderstandings on both sides could be resolved…

I already know the future of that flower pot.

Flower Pot Memorial. The flower pot, which had long since been destroyed by Arina in the main hall, remained unrecovered even when I found it.

It was not enough. Just that rotten seed.

“Ha, fuck.”

If Claire had heard, she would have yelled at me, asking if I was crazy, but right now, all I could do was laugh and swear.

Even though Karssein took on this difficult task, he tried to find a breakthrough somehow.

It was a perfect breakthrough. If you regain trust from the Chatrene fiefdom and at the same time clear the false accusations of Count Lilpeten through a deal, you will gain a reliable ally.

However, Claire blocked this breakthrough.

This is the summary of the memorial, right?

Once again, unpleasant memories began to come back to life.

I still can’t forget the memory of being fired from my part-time job because my second child found out about the injuries I suffered while working.

Even though it was really an innocuous wound, she started nagging me and telling me not to go around getting hit, and then I told the whole family about this, and my second child started to leave school at my dismissal time.

-under. Look no one is coming because I’m next to you. Did you see it? If someone is bullying you, tell them. You foolish bastard.

But, do you know that?

Those bullies bully you even worse when you can’t see them.

That they are being tormented in a way that doesn’t even leave scars.

In the end, school life did not change.

The biggest problem was that after that, part-time hours completely disappeared.

Even if I made the excuse of studying, my second child clung to me like a leech and did not make time for me.

I don’t know about her, but I was barely able to eat a decent meal while working that part-time job.

I didn’t have to get scolded for not being able to buy supplies because my youngest always stole my pocket money.

Only then did I no longer have to use broken school supplies here and there.

But, the days of enjoying that little happiness disappeared in an instant.

Afterwards, I couldn’t work part-time for a while because of my second child, so I couldn’t save money.

After that, I couldn’t find a part-time job because they were watching my movements for a long time, so the hellish days started again.

It was my third child who really bothered me, but paradoxically, it was because of my second child that my plan to escape from home was delayed.

Karsein also had his plans ruined, right?

I knew there was no point in telling my family, so I tried to come up with a plan.

That was ruined because of Claire. Just like that seed.

It didn’t seem like it had been long since I started getting chills.

Blood begins to flow coldly through my body again.

My head, which had been so angry, cools down.

okay. At a time like this, it wasn’t something to react emotionally.

I looked away and looked at the circumstances of the episode that had not yet ended.

“Yes. I will go back somewhere and give you everything you want.”

Change of plans.

The plan to go to Chatelaine has been completely cancelled.

***

Three days have passed since we arrived in Ruthmeyer.

After checking on the fallen Carcein and lighting a fire in the fireplace, Claire soon called someone to the Duke’s house.

Shayden, the attending physician.

I called him here and asked him to look after Karssein.

After Shayden arrived, the follow-up proceeded without a problem.

However, if there is one thing that has not yet been resolved, it is none other than the fact that Karssein suffers from Dipeshan Syndrome.

I knew that the disease that only appears in the western region appeared in Karssein, but in order to suffer from this disease, Karssein must go to the western region.

But doesn’t the timing fit strangely?

There is not much of a discrepancy between the date the transaction statement arrived and the time when the secondary symptoms of Dipeshan Syndrome that Karssein suffered from appeared.

After hearing that fact from Carcein, I looked at Ruthmayer with a feeling of déjà vu.

As Karssein said. A lot had changed in Ruthmeyer.

Ruthmire Estate was a place that all nobles avoided and abandoned, claiming that it only paid more taxes.

It was expected that the place would be no different from a slum.

However, even with the naked eye, I could tell that the prediction was wrong.

Although it is a rural area, they live an affluent life that cannot even be compared to places like slums.

Not only the food, but also the smiles on the faces of the residents, and the sound of laughter echoed throughout the village.

Simply by receiving Karssein’s support?

To put it bluntly, absolutely not.

Just looking at the food alone, it is not an amount that can be solved with Karsein’s money alone.

Their clothes are also in good condition, not dirty or tattered compared to commoners, and the streets are also clean.

Even if problems occasionally arose, they showed systematic movement to deal with them, and they continued to conduct active transactions with passing merchants, even if they did not know where the money came from.

Absolutely, absolutely, Karssein’s money alone could not have changed this territory in an instant.

The cause is.

‘Aisle… That big passage.’

Merchants are paying money every time they pass through that cave-like passage.

no. Not only merchants but also nobles are coming. As I looked into other passages, I was fascinated by the artistic sense of the sculptures painted inside.

The toll alone looks very hectic.

It seems like it will be enough not only for Karssein’s share but also for the residents of Rusmire’s territory to live comfortably.

Tourism expenses also pile up quite a lot.

The pictures that changed from time to time depending on the light, angle, and time were enough to attract the attention of nobles.

Did they even say that the person they were trading with was the Marquis of Ipheros?

I also heard that those dealing with demonic beasts have recently been lacking in aggregate. But the news was discontinued within a few days. It would have been worth it if the rocks obtained by digging that hole had been sold as aggregate. Then, a lot of money would have been in hand.

Everything about this estate came into Claire’s sight.

A conclusion is reached quickly.

The reason why this territory, which was once located on Mt. Wagluu, has undergone such a big change…

My younger brother who became the new lord.

The only answer that came out was that it was because of Karsein.

“…”

Clutching her mouth, Claire turned back to Carcein’s house.

‘okay. I have to admit what I have to admit. It is true that he became a person capable of ruling the territory, whether through studying or receiving instruction from others.’

However, if you take her to the Duke’s house, she will probably be scolded harshly by her sister.

For my sister, who didn’t know what happened at the tea party, all that happened was that a transaction statement suddenly came flying to her.

Even if something was upsetting, the stay-out lasted long enough to dampen the mood in the Duke’s house.

As the lord of Ruthmire, he recklessly dealt with nobles.

The transaction continued without even receiving permission.

There are a lot of other things to get scolded for.

Considering all these things, it seemed difficult for Karssein to avoid her sister’s anger.

“What can I do? I have no choice but to make a reasonably good excuse.”

In the first place, if Karssein had met her sister here, she would have been taken to the Duke’s house and sentenced to imprisonment.

The plan was to stop that and force them to return to the Tyler duchy, but… seeing how the Ruthmire territory has grown like that, it’s hard to say that they should go back easily.

So, you should make a good excuse.

This is to prevent Karssein from incurring all of her sister’s anger.

After making that promise, Claire entered Karssein’s house.

However, in the bedroom, Karssein had already finished changing clothes.

Claire asked, holding onto Carcein’s arm.

“Carcein, Shayden said he needed to lie down more! Where are you going with that body?”

“You were coming to pick me up anyway, right? At least I was planning on nagging him about how long I stayed out all night.”

“Hey. it’s okay. I deliberately didn’t tell my sister to just do whatever she wanted about staying out. It’s enough if I just talk around it a bit.”

Of course, there will be talk of a trade, but that can be done by announcing the results of Ruthmeyer.

I studied step by step and achieved these results, so not getting permission was a trivial matter anyway.

So I said it would be better to rest a little more.

However, Karsein perseveres in tidying up the blankets.

“No need.”

“Hey!”

Claire got nervous at that sight.

“Why are you so foolish as to scold me? Leave it to me, take a break, and come back later! Why are you so inflexible?!”

Claire puffed out her bangs with her mouth.

It meant I was stressed.

“Don’t you know what will happen if you get caught by your sister? The curfew has been lifted, but dealings with nobles are still ongoing. It’s obvious that you’ll get scolded the moment you get caught! But, even if you knew that, you still deliberately went to break it?!”

Why would you do such a stupid thing based on common sense?

You can avoid making mistakes by going through these things.

It was no different from other people.

Claire also received help from her mother and older sister Arina when she made a mistake.

On the other hand, he also took care of Flora when she did something wrong.

However, Karssein shows no signs of doing so.

“I said there was no need.”

Don’t you need it?

It was frustrating.

It was the same when I talked to my mother.

Even when I bought the Ruthmire estate, I was so frustrated that I was just getting scolded when I should have said I bought it for a reason.

But, you’re going to get scolded for doing something so bad again?

I couldn’t help but feel a heat rising inside me.

“Fuck, yes! You have to go back to your stupid state, get broken by your sister, and suffer from your mother before you come to your senses! Please give me some trouble. Whether you lock yourself in your room or do nothing, do whatever you want and then wake up! You idiot!”

In a fit of anger, I ended up saying those harsh words again.

however.

Despite Claire’s anger, Karssein calmly left the room.

This means that the intention to return to the Duke’s residence did not change in the end.

“Oh, really!”

Claire, who was left alone, was extremely irritated.

“Ha, Mr. I don’t know about my mom, but I’m sure my sister will break it…!”

My sister wasn’t the type of person to take things so lightly.

And since Karssein was a very stubborn person, there was a high possibility that he would only mention transactions in the western region this time without mentioning Ruthmire at all.

I can help you as much as I want as long as you ask for help.

Why do you get scolded for exaggerating your mistakes and not talking about any of the good things you did?

“I just can’t understand─”

After getting so irritated, I suddenly remembered the time when Karssein returned from the west.

Without any place intact.

Karssein sneaked into the house as if no one had noticed him.

And I found that Carcein myself.

Claire, realizing this fact, carefully turned her head towards the table.

A glass bottle containing indigo oral medicine is visible.

This is the medicine taken by Karshein, who hid the fact that he had secretly gone to the West, and this time also to help him recover from Dipeshan Syndrome.

It was the same.

Then and now.

After realizing this fact, Claire was struck by a strange sense of déjà vu.

“…No way. Because of me?”

He tried to secretly trade, but got caught and couldn’t do anything.

I tried to hide it at the time, but did the situation escalate when people found out about this?

What if the reason you didn’t hide it this time, unlike then, was because you wanted to protect the deal even if it meant getting in trouble?

I wanted to say it was too much, but I couldn’t deny it.

Other than that, there is no reason for Karssein to act like that.

“Really… you did it because of me?”

Claire purses her lips.

If that was true, it was his karma.

If that’s why Karssein stopped bragging about things that deserved praise, and was punished regardless of what he did wrong…

Karsein is in a position where he will not be able to receive a single excellent evaluation in the future.

And actually too.

Even though there was Flora’s intervention, it was like this every time.

It was taken for granted that I would be punished, and no matter what I did, I became a person who would end up in an accident.

He has also received such evaluations from nobles outside the Duke’s residence.

It was he who approached Karsein every time, asking if he had had an accident again.

Claire Bagland was always scolding Karssein Bagland.

I immediately smile bitterly and deny it.

“No. No way. There’s no way things could have happened like this.”

But the question comes back to myself.

Do you really think that way?

“Hey, Karsein!”

In the end, Claire, who couldn’t shake off the uncomfortable feeling, ran out of the house and screamed, but there was no way she could reach Karssein.

He had already gone on horseback first.

“ Coachman!”

“Yes, Miss Claire!”

“I’m going to the duke’s residence right now. Please go as quickly as possible.”

Following Carcein, who had left for the Duke’s house, Claire kept telling the coachman to speed up.

‘no way. ‘That can’t be possible.’

But I couldn’t hide my nervousness.
