Chapter 8 – 8. 5 minutes a day
Deia and the workers are looking at me blankly. Their expressions are frozen like plaster, as if time has stopped.
The person who broke it was, of course, Deia.
“what? “If you give me an hour, you’ll solve it?”
Deia mulls over the words and laughs as if she finally understands.
“Do you know what the situation is? Just understand the situation properly and keep your mouth shut… … !”
“The immigrants coming across North Sweden must be occupying our guard post on the ridge right now.”
As we enter without stopping, Deia frowns and glares at the other employees.
Everyone shook their heads as they looked at each other with a question in their eyes as to whether they had given me information.
of course.
This is what another invisible user of Verdi said.
Now is the opportunity to gain momentum. Skal recited the information he had told me.
“The number is smaller than expected. However, the problem was that they had surprisingly high-quality weapons and marched on without avoiding battle.”
“… … .”
Deia slowly turns her gaze to the bed. Darius’ thoughtful face tells me I’m not talking nonsense.
“You misunderstood their purpose. Normally, immigrants would run away to survive, but not now.”
It’s different this time.
A woman named Findenai does not run away.
It was true that she was trying to cross the mountain range and sneak into the Griffin Kingdom, but unlike other foreigners, she planned to confidently enter through the main gate.
“It may be that these immigrants are veterans with extensive combat experience, but the commander is probably the biggest problem. “A white wolf with blood-red eyes.”
Tsk and click your tongue.
When I mentioned Findeneye, Darius immediately frowned and turned over, blood gushing out of his wound.
“They are not immigrants who fled. “She is a resistance fighter who directly opposes the Clark Republic, which is known for its cruelty.”
“… … “How do you know that?”
“There is a way.”
Normally, I would have answered bluntly that I didn’t know anything. I wanted to treat Deia as well as possible.
Because I know well the feelings of being hurt by my family.
Of course, the answer that came out was not very gentle, so Deia frowned.
‘You can’t treat them like ghosts.’
Because they don’t need a reason, they just like to be told what they want.
Like Deia, it does not grasp causal relationships. He’s dead, so what does it matter?
“I’ll give you some heated liquor and a loaf of rice cake. And bring out a fine cloth to wrap it in. “If you wait just one hour, I will stop the barbarians from plundering North Weden.”
Again, we return to the original topic.
Even while trapped, I showed the ability to understand the enemy’s strength, so I showed everything I could to appeal.
All that remained was Darius and Deia’s choice.
“dog sound.”
And of course, Deia said no.
“How can you believe that? Are you saying that you will single-handedly stop the immigrants who came after Gaju was defeated? And that too with alcohol and rice cake? are you kidding? Are you going to go and have a drink to become friends?”
“… … .”
“I just learned how to be stylish somewhere.”
Deia got very annoyed and tried to ask for support from the surrounding nobles again.
Darius grabbed Deia’s wrist while she was lying on the hospital bed.
“As the head of the family, I give you this order. “Go and take responsibility for your words, Deius.”
“Are you really crazy!?”
Deia threw away her hand and screamed in anger. She berated her foolishness until her throat cracked and she vomited.
“How important is the title of Margrave! “Let’s sacrifice those who believe in us and have yet to leave their homeland?”
“Seeing as he talks like that, there must be a way.”
“Is it because you don’t know who he is? It’s Deius. “I drink with women every day and come in in the morning and go out in the evening!”
“… … .”
“You don’t trust Deius right now. You’re just relying on a possible miracle! “How is this different from kneeling down and seeking God when there are foreigners holding spears and swords standing at the door?”
Deia’s eyes were filled with dark moisture. I could feel how much she valued North Sweden.
That’s why I turned around and went to visit.
“We will leave in 10 minutes. “Be prepared.”
Just leaving a short command to the users.
“hey! hey! “Ugh!”
Deia’s screams can be heard from behind. What I need to do now is not beg you to trust me.
For that to happen, Deius up until now was too much trash. Because there is no trust in humans to simply ask them to believe in words.
It had to be seen in action.
Now was the time to prove it with results.
10 minutes later.
I made eye contact with the servants waiting at the entrance to the family home.
A bundle wrapped in luxurious cloth, carefully held by one of the maids.
I take it and collect myself.
Since I had to climb a mountain, I changed into a thick coat, and in my hand was a staff that was too much for my current magic skills.
‘I need to climb a mountain, so a cane would be useful.’
There was a good chance that it would be a hiking staff rather than a magic one.
As I was tapping the floor with the tip of my cane, Deia approached me from behind with resentful eyes.
Judging by the fact that his eyes were red and swollen, he seemed to have cried quite a bit afterwards.

Now I’m just tired and I’m just breathing hard.
I made eye contact with her and took a step closer.
“If I don’t return within an hour, contact Tolkien and Count Herameus and request assistance.”
“개새끼야! If you can’t do it, just say you can’t do it! Do you know how many heads will be blown off if your request is an hour late?!”
“I am successful.”
It clearly succeeds.
I was confident.
However, I said this because he seemed very anxious, and I don’t think it was a very satisfactory answer.
How can I talk about this relationship?
At that time, a thought suddenly crossed my mind.
“… … if.”
I looked down at Deia and asked.
“If only I could resolve this matter.”
It might be a bit coercive, but it was important to create an opportunity.
“Five minutes a day.”
So, he smiles faintly.
It wasn’t easy to smile, but I had already done it once when I was saying goodbye to my fiancee, so I was quite satisfied with it.
“Just give me 5 minutes every day.”
“… … what?”
Deia looks at me with wide eyes, wondering if she heard correctly.
Taking advantage of that opportunity, I reached out and carefully wiped the tears from her eyes.
“If you give me that much, it will be a sufficient reward for me.”
That was the end of what I had to say.
Just turn your body and head outside. Being seen off by employees who bow deeply towards me, who is inadequate and unqualified.
We leave North Wales, where February snow has begun to fall with strong winds.
*
Climb the North Wedden Mountains.
I know that the road is well made, but I do not walk along the road but climb the difficult mountain.
Tree branches pierce my body with every step I take, and the lightly piled snow reaches my knees.
For someone who came out so confidently, he looked very unsightly.
[Are you okay?]
Skal, the ghost butler who followed me.
I had heard that it was possible to travel up to the mountain range, so he was following behind me.
“Yeah, it’s okay.”
At least I could handle basic magic, so I used magic to warm my body temperature, so my body didn’t feel cold.
It burns the mana spread throughout the body.
In fact, it is a magic that is not often used because its efficiency is extremely low, but floating around with a fireball is very noticeable.
[Are you planning on conducting a surprise attack?]
“No, I cannot stop the immigrants with my skills.”
[yes? That means… … .]
Skal was taken aback by the words that were different from what he said at the mansion, but I calmly continued climbing the mountain.
Now I was climbing the mountain range, and soon I might reach the guard post occupied by the immigrants.
They were not my purpose.
Cry.
“… … !”
My body feels sore and tingles. I feel the atmosphere shaking and the surrounding landscape distorting.
The ghost Skal looked around in surprise as if he felt it too, but I stretched out my hand and stopped him.
“Go back to the mansion, Skal.”
[yes? But… … .]
“To the person I will meet in the future. “I wouldn’t want you here.”
Skal looked like he didn’t understand, but when he acted firmly and had no intention of withdrawing his order, he bowed deeply and disappeared.
[Please, I hope you return safely.]
His voice fades away.
OK.
Cry!
A ringing sound as if an electric shock had struck my ears.
For a moment, I frowned without realizing it, but the corners of my mouth turned up slightly.
“I’m glad you remembered me.”
The ridge beyond the mountain.
Blue eyes like sapphires, different from Findeneye’s blood-red eyes.
Black stripes on a white background, long fangs.
The white tiger, standing on all fours, looks down at me solemnly.
I immediately use magic to clear away the snow around me, kneel down, spread the luxurious cloth I brought with me on the floor, and spread out the alcohol and rice cakes.
I’m glad that Findeneye hasn’t come down from the mountain yet.
I am grateful for his decision to try to recover from his fatigue because he is not just a soldier, but a resistance ‘comrade’ with the name Scrap Metal Merchant.
Because you’re still on the mountain.
Because I can borrow his power.
So much so that the Margrave, who protects the northern land, and the Verdi family do not even dare to show their business cards.
A true owner of the mountain who has lived here for hundreds or thousands of years.
I bow my head towards him.
“See you Sangun.”
