"Hey, come on..."

　the day after I spoke to Javier
　I was dumbfounded in front of the gate of 42 wards on the day of the confrontation.

"Bastards! Don't fall behind Austin and Zenovius!"
``Oh, my God!'

　The woodcutters of the fortieth leg are roaring with their hot muscles.

"Hey, Javier. Wouldn't you have done it by yourself?"
"Oh, that's it,"

　Javier is fiddling with his beard as if he had bitten a bitter worm.
　After that, a fluffy Demily peeped into his face.

"It's my gift, Mr. Oba,"

　It seems that this head‐scratching fanatic has produced something.
　Do you call yourself a 'shift?'

"I told all the woodcutters that I was going to do something interesting."
"Oh, Ambrose -- he's done nothing."

　Apparently, Demily set the woodcutters on fire without asking Javier's wishes.

"I'm sorry to have taken my wood once a hundred years to the Forty-second leg,"

　say with a completely unrepentant look

"This time, with the help of the loggers, I wanted to get more wood than they could get."

　I hear that this time, the lord of the manor will award him a gold seal for the best quality wood.
　In addition, the district as a whole will honor the honor by issuing a certificate of acquisition of high quality wood.
　Honor and money. Well, these hot‐blooded bosses will jump at you.

"Of course I won't interfere with your confrontation. If Oba can prepare better quality wood than Stuart, even if it's inferior to the rest of the loggers, Oba can win. I'm just taking advantage of it."
"Well, Javier. You're supposed to get only the shabbyest wood."
"Why, Ambrose?"
"You didn't say such a thing!?" Oh, Ova, don't stir me up."

　Sentence
　It's a punishment for taking advantage of my opinion.
　If other people bring good quality wood, the chances of finding me or Javier will decrease. If you don't take that into consideration, you've already caused trouble.

　...but... Even so, I won't lose.

"Imelda".
"All right,"

　Punching Imelda on the back, Imelda steps forward and gives a beautiful, passing voice.

"Guys, don't take it seriously."
"'You're a coward, O'Bayashi!'"

　bark, woodcutters
　The word cowardice is like being developed for me.

"I told you the professional Woodman that he could not use it."

　Javier is completely unmoved and has a relaxed smile.
　So I'll give it another push. Pump Imelda on the back.

"I hate it because it's so mean,"
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, my God!"Oh!?"
"Calm down, Stuart," It's a funny thing to do with Oba.k.a.

　With Imelda, wouldn't he be as good as the loggers?
　All right! I'll declare it while there's an atmosphere of victory.

"Now, boys! Let's fight fair and square!"
"Yasilo, my dear fellow," Now I'm not shy enough to say that..."
"I'd really like to learn from you as a feudal lord, how brazen you are."

　Two Ossan are praising me.
　Hmm! Oh, my God!

"And, Jillo," Where are Austin and Zenovius?"

　Javier gazes around, wondering if he wants to say hello.

"We're in the woods now,"
"What!"
"No, sir," You set a deadline, but you didn't set a start time, did you? The game has already begun."
"You...! That's really a sloppy place, isn't it?

　Javier shakes his shoulders and wriggles the ground with his feet like a gnawing kid.
　Wow... It's not cute.

"That's all right! That's all right! Eagles are coming!"

　Javier's cannon-like roar snaps the waiters into position.
　Then Javier walked ahead of the other loggers to the gate.

"Look forward to the sunset, Jillo! I'll make you bark!"

　With his right arm raised high, he crossed the gate into the woods, declaring victory.
　Javier's departure suddenly encouraged the other loggers.

"Oops! It's a rare opportunity to challenge the guild chief! Come on! It's not muddy!"
``Oh, my God!'
`I'll make the Guild-Chief go round!'
"'Huh!'"

　Shaking blunt muscles, the loggers rush into the gates carrying axes and masakari, which appear to be nothing but weapons.
　...like a Zaco character who is killed instantly by the main character.

"Yasilo, are you coming soon, too.
"Well, wait. We haven't got it all together yet.""Who is coming?"
"...I kept you waiting."

　At the same time as answering Imelda's question, my waiters appear in unison.

"""A reassuring ally and great sponsor"""
"Well..."

　There was Loretta, fully armed outside magda and knicker-pocked work clothes. And there was Estella dressed more sporty than usual.

"It was them,"

　In addition, Jeanette stood a little further away from everyone else.
　with a large basket in one's active outfit as if one were going on an excursion

"...but the equipment is disjointed."
"Well, we don't have any equipment for going out,"

　Magda and Imelda wear only the equipment that could work outside the gate.
　Imelda, as you might expect, is also well equipped. The woodcutter stands up.
　I always thought he would walk gracefully through the woods with a parasol. So it was a little surprising.

"The forest is a dangerous place next to death,"
"... well, especially since the gates of the Forty-Second Ward go deep into the forest, the level of the beast is atrocious."
"That's right, brother! The manager! You're too careless!"

　Loretta messing up on my and Jeanette's clothes.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Where did you come from, that kind of knickering?"
"I borrowed it from Mr. Womaro!"
"Oh, it's Torbeck's work clothes."

　But what... You look good on me, man?
　Even if I get fired from Yodamari-tei, I'm afraid I'll be able to eat in that direction.

"By the way! I'm just wearing it specially this time!"
"What? You didn't say anything."
"Even if I didn't say it, I looked like, 'I think I'll be able to eat in that direction even if I'm fired from the Yodamari-tei,'"

　Is this Esper?
　Or is my face that easy to understand?

　For a trial... Loretta's left breast milk, lock on!

"Huh!? Don't just stare at the left breast milk!"

　hmm
　My face seems to be easy to understand. Let's be careful.

"Well, is there a problem with my outfit? I chose the most mobile one I have..."

　Jeanette asks with a troubled look.
　Jeanette couldn't have had any weapons or protective gear, and she must have done her best at this.

　But what bothers me is the basket.

"A lunch box?"
"Yes! Let's eat it together."

　It's a completely!
　Well, that's all right with Jeanette.
　I don't want to see, or imagine, a demon slashing down with a sword.

"I don't think the manager is used to going out, let alone out of the woods."
"Huh!? Oh, you know. These days I've been going out relatively much... well, I've been to the Thirty-Fifth Ward! I've stayed there!"

　There's no comparison between the safe Thirty-Fifth Ward and the woods outside... but he's more active for Jeanette.

"...It's all right. Magda will protect the manager and Jiro."
"I'll keep it, too, Magdachy!"
"……………………………………What?"
"That 'space' is plainly hollowing out!'

　a tearful Loretta
　Well, don't worry. It's Magda, and Loretta is unlikely to be in danger.

"I may not be quite sure that I am against a deep-seated beast."

　Estella follows Marsha and sometimes goes out of the gate, but it is usually only on the 35th Ward side, so it is rare to get into the forest.
　I have a knife on my back that is more dignified than usual, but how far will it work?

"I can't believe it's time for Imelda to play a two-top wing."
"Oh, my God! As for the forest, the vaxe is more than one."

　That's true, isn't it? It's my main business.

"But Mr. Estella,"
"Well, what?"
"I'll praise you for having iron plates in your chest."
"I'm sorry, but I'm on my own, this! ... Whose chest is iron!"

　by all means
　I wonder if we can get into the woods with such a noisy member... well, I don't have to think about it. It's impossible.
　for that reason
　I choose not to work hard.

"Well, will you just wander around the entrance of the forest and eat your lunch?"
"What!? Jillo, why don't you go and get some wood?"
"... safe with Magda,"
`I'm confident in my escape!'
"I'm looking forward to your lunch".

　I think I've shared my impressions with you know...

"We can't compete with Javier and others even if we're desperate. You don't have to take the risk of trying until you know.
"Then what are you going to do about the game?"

　Estella says impatiently, wondering if she wants to win somehow.

"The game is already over,"
"What...?"Only I and Imelda know the strategy.
　The rest of the members are in a daze.
　There's only one Jeanette with a "we're all out, we're all having fun."

"But I'm still going out," I'll count on you, Magda."
「……Leave it to me."
"And Loretta,"
"Oh, do you expect me?"？」
"You have a good nose and ears," I'm counting on you."
"Wow, that's it!　Leave it to me.………"I feel like ""I'm in good shape"" is a curse!"？」

　Oh, what? Have you noticed?
　You've grown up, haven't you?

"Well, let's go," Today's introductory tax is paid by the lord. Do as many round trips as you like!」
"Why do you pass so many times?"？　One round trip is enough!？」

　a fool's
　Don't you feel like wasting other people's money?

"Guys!　Don't be poisoned by Jiro!」
「……Magda may 'accidentally' forget things several times."
`I wanted to try to jump over and over again under the gate!'」
"Then I'll charge the lord's house for the vaxe,"
"That's the enemy!"　You're all enemies!？」

　I've got this kind of face.
　I'm sure they'll get on the funny side.

"Ladies and gentlemen," You shouldn't be too bullied. Hey, Jiro?」

　Jeanette asks me a question, caressing Estella on the head.
　But the answer was, "No!That's it!

"Astera. ……You're cute when you're being bullied."
`I'm not happy!'？」

　What's wrong with you? I told you in a good‐looking voice. That's a cool guy.

"Then we'll go to the woods according to the "rules."

　At Imelda's command we stepped outside the gate.

"It's exciting,"
`I'm nervous,'

　Jeanette and Loretta's elation must be of a different kind.
　There is some fear in Loretta's tension.

"Ginnette's all over the place,"
"Why, all of a sudden!"？　It's kind of too much!」

　the depths of the woods outside
　It's a danger zone where even professional hunting guilds can defend themselves.

　I'm going to go there in a picnic mood.…He's a great guy in a way.
　I'm not that nervous either.
　Beasts, however small, do not come near the street gates.
　Gatekeepers are stationed, and after a few fights, demons avoid them.
　They want to live in peace over there, don't they?

　That's why it's relatively safe to stay by the gate. The gatekeeper will come to you in case of emergency.

「……Don't be silly from here. It's life-threatening."

　As I stepped out of the gate, Magda's ears were like, "Pink!I stood up. I feel like my expression has gotten dull.

　The gate is open to some extent by cutting down trees.
　When I leave the gate, I'm suddenly attacked by a monster who was hiding...…I don't think so.
　Well, I need to brace myself. So--

"Astella, will you stop joking?"」
"Didn't you become a joke not only on your face but also on your line of thought?"　I hope you will be respectful."
"Wherever you go, you're crazy, aren't you?"…」

　Estella gave me a cold stare.
　That's why Espeta is...…

「……Espeta."
"The last time I wrote 'Oba-Yashiro,' it looked like 'Oba-Yashiro,' but I won't fix it. It was a very important document, but I dare say."

　What's that plain harassment?
　Also, Estella's characters are similar to Ya.

"Both of you," in moderation Magda is upset."
「……Magda's advice was ignored...…」

　Magda is kicking pebbles on the ground.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Let's keep a sense of tension. That's dangerous!」
"Today, out of fear, out of fear, out of fear, out of fear.　I'll reflect deeply and listen to you, right?　Be in a good mood, Magda."
「…………Hmm."

　They go into the woods, soothing Magda with bent navels and mumbling their ears.
　……I don't feel nervous.

"By this time the loggers were like, 'Would you like to go further?'"""You can't go too far considering the time and transportation of trees,""But if you go further, there may be a better tree,""The more beautiful you get, the more time it takes to cut them down!"""』……He must be moving about thinking about something like that."
"It's pretty tough in terms of time, considering we'll be back before sunset."

　If you go deep into the woods, you may find a wonderful tree that surpasses even the once-in-a-century wood.
　But it's worth it because you can't find it very often...…It won't be something you'll discover right after you get into the woods today.

　That's why we have a chance to win.

"Magda, Imelda!"　Check the safety of the surrounding area!」
「……I understand.""It can't be helped,"

　The two accustomed to the forest go a little further and check for any magical animals.
　In the meantime, we spread the sheet to a suitable point along the outer wall, a short distance from the gatekeeper.

"Wait, Jillo," Won't you go deep into the woods?"
"Well, brother," What are you going to do here?"
"Is it a picnic?"
"'Huh!'

　Estella and Loretta all shout amusingly.
　Jeanette was the only one who happily began to prepare a lunch box.

"Imelda is clearly my team. Now we have an alibi that says we have entered the forest."

　All the people in the 42nd leg are on this team, and Austin and Zenovius are doing their best in the woods, so there's no problem already, but I wonder if I'll go, too."

"...there are no demons in this neighborhood."
"There was nothing threatening about it, either,"
"Oh, thank you,"

　The outer walls of this city are covered with "stones that emit magical powers hated by evil beasts."
　You won't be much more in danger if you stay here. I'm within sight of the gatekeeper.

　So, outside the street gate, you can make some noise.

"Well, it's too early for lunch,"
"You don't want to sing?"
"Oh! It's a celebration."
"No, no, no! I don't understand at all!"

　Estella's eyebrows began to swell.
　I think it's about time we revealed the seeds... over the course of course.


　So, with picnics outside the street gates, Loretta getting carried away and walking a little bit towards the woods, and as a result, as promised, the beast was about to attack us, we lost time until dark.

　The sun sets and the loggers come back in droves.
　And the last time Javier came back, the sun went down as if it had been timed.
　It's sunset.

"Hahaha! Jillo! I'm sorry, but this time the eagle will win!"

　It gives Javier a hearty laugh with a big, splendid tree in his arms.
　It's a tremendous thickness. It's a pretty big tree that can make two horse‐drawn wagons out of this tree.
　I guess he's a fool with one arm holding it.

`It may not be nearly as good as wood once a hundred years, but there are not many trees that exceed it! That's the way they are!'

　What Javier says is probably right.
　The people who used to hold up "Down with Javier!" snuffing before they left, all grow smaller and grow tired. Their "prey" that they brought home with confidence looks bleak as soon as possible. Javier's 'fishing' is a tree of that level.

"Well, it's Stuart, as I expected. I thought the young guys would get a little more involved, but it wouldn't be so easy."

　Demily, who instigated the young Woodman, caresses him on the head.
　I'm sure he was trying to find a successor to Javier.
　Javier is getting old. Even if Imelda takes over, she will be waiting for someone to line up with Javier in ability.
　Anyway, the Woodman's Guild is the backbone of the Forty Ward.

"Now, Jiro! Let me see your prey!? What? You can't find it anywhere, but you couldn't even pick up a twig? Haha!"

　Holding a big tree like a sacred tree in a shrine and laughing vigorously, it reminds me of a Shuten Doji living in Mt. Oe. If I were in Japan in Edo, I'm sure I'd be eliminated. --if the samurai's sword were to pass for him.

"Imelda".
"All right,"

　a laughing stock Javier But it's about time we thought about annoying the neighborhood.
　I'll give you a little silence.

"This is the wood which the vultures have prepared!"

　At Imelda's signal, the Woodman's Guild of Forty-two wards carries fine wood.
　The very familiar figure is the very wood of the century that is now a hot topic.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
"That's why this is the wood we prepared,"
"Don't you go to the woods to pick it up!"
"Who said that?"

　I smile and call out the conversation record.
　As soon as I call him out, Javier and Demily look like "Wow..." but I don't know. ignore everything

"The rules of this match were to 'pass through the gates of 42 wards' and 'get some quality wood ready,' weren't they?"
"... oh, yes,"

　Javier, who is now in complete resignation mode, writes a careless reply.
　What? Listen carefully to the end!

"Therefore we had a picnic in front of the forest, "By the Gate of the Forty-Second Ward," and when we came back, we carried the "good quality wood" here from the vault of the chapter and "prepared" it."

　Conversation records prove that I am correct.
　…but… None of them will confirm.
　Hey, there's no competition.

"Well, certainly," I didn't say, 'Get it out of the woods,' did I?"

　Demily supplements me with a wry smile.
　That's what it is.

　That's why I told you.
　This game is already over.
　I can't get anything more than this once‐in‐a‐century wood.

"Oh, my God. I thought I'd be like that, eagle, but I've done a pretty good job. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

　When Javier grumbled, he let go of his grudge.
　The negative aura is going to be terrible, isn't it?

　Oh, my God. "I can't help it!"Imelda".
"Why?"
"That's enough,"
"What?"
"Now that the game is over, you can just be normal."
"I don't know what you mean,"

　Oh my gosh!
　You're itching to jump at once.

"Javier".
"Yes,"

　He responds in a sulky voice to my call.
　Don't look like that. Look around.

"You're the guild-master, after all,"
"What's wrong with you now?"
"Well, what? I thought, 'I wouldn't be able to beat you if I didn't imitate you so cowardly.'"

　When I said so without a hitch, a slight change appeared in the loggers surrounding Javier.

"...you know?"
"Oh, that's the result in a day."
"Why, where did such a big tree grow?"
"Yes! We went quite far, but you didn't see such a severe tree, did you?"
"Well, in the first place... you used to cut down such a huge tree by yourself..."
"Buckemon?"
"What are you saying, boys? The guild is Bakemon."
``````
"I hear you, boys!"
````"Ah! The buffoon barked!"'

　Javier, barking at the young Woodman, looked a little better.
　That would suit you better.

　In short, it'sort of.
　Everyone here recognizes Javier's achievement this time. It's such a great thing that I have to admit.

　a woodman's guild that has come to life once in a hundred years
　Austin and Zenovius are certainly amazing when they got it.
　However, throwing Austins into the woods all day would make it hard to get this level of wood.
　But Javier would definitely get this level of stuff every time he gets into the woods.
　After all, the guild length is not Date.

　Above all, they are powerful enough to overwhelm the people around them. have charisma to attract

　As Demily said, it may be time for Javier to think about generational change.
　Perhaps Imelda was thinking about it too.
　It must have been because of this that Imelda showed a vague expression on her face when she came to show off her once-in-a-century timber.
　Now that young people have gained strength, I think the father's days are coming to an end...

　But it's hard.
　Buckets are alive and well. He demonstrated brilliantly that he could still be active on the front lines.
　If you take the time and plan this and that, it may be possible to get closer to Javier.
　But in these unique, restricted circumstances, Javier still stands out from the rest of his mind, or even his body. There's no one else I can count on in case of emergency.

　Well, I don't think so.
I guess you mean like, "I'm still not going to beat the young guys."
　Ugh, oh, oh, my God!

　But????

　It's far more amazing to keep making masterpieces every day, every day, for decades than to make them once in a hundred years.
　The head of an organization should be so.

"Why don't you compliment me?" for the old man did his best."

　I'll say that to Imelda, who watches the rising loggers.

"Well... your father ought to be able to do this,"

　It's the greatest compliment.
　How amazing is what we take for granted?

"But... yes,"

　Turn your back to me and say in a cool voice.

"I don't mind complimenting you once in a while,"

　He sprinted to Javier, saying so.
　I guess you didn't want me to see you. You look so relaxed with joy.

"As expected of your father!"
"Wow!? What, Imelda!? What's the matter?"

　As she sprinted, her emotions became uncontrollable, and Imelda eventually jumped at Javier.
　Hanging on an upright bear-like body, he exclaims merrily. What? There's something girlish about it, isn't there?

"Well, that's one of your aims, Mr. Oba."

　Demily comes next to me in a soft voice.
　I'm tearing my face at the sight of my frolicking friend.

"Oh... sunrise?"
"Ester! Will you re-educate your people?"

　While showing off her dexterous skill of smiling and floating blood vessels on her forehead, Demily nudges me with the same harmless face as usual.

"You're doing something you hate,"
"You also set fire to the young man and set fire to Javier,"
"Oh, have you noticed?"
There is something wrong with Ossan, who doesn't take the initiative in acting on his own initiative. Perhaps Javier has noticed."
"Huff. I guess so."

　Demily's face at the time was not that of the lord, but that of a man who looked at his old friends.

"You can't beat the young, can you?" neither he nor I."
"When you start saying that, it's finally Ossan,"
"Hahaha! That's fine, Ossan." My heart will grow bigger."Demily patted herself on the stomach and then slapped me on the shoulder.

"Thank you," You can use the wood harvested today at your disposal. I'll pay for it."
"You did it! It's an unexpected reward!"
"Laughing. You're a bad joke, Oba."

"Well," said Demily, waving away.
　There's no time left. It's coming to an end.

"Oh! This is the best day!"

　The day came to an end, listening to the shouts of old men.


　At a later date, Javier, who had a bright face, offered me a large amount of wood, and Demily paid for the horse-drawn carriage because the wood had been raised, and Umaro eagerly began to produce it, saying, "Wow! What a good wood!? My arms are ringing!"

　Forty wards are all over the place.


　Thus, the parade carriage was made quite gorgeous.
　for free, too, free of charge.
　On top of that, Javier, in good humour, lent the promised horses generously.
　Of course, it's free of charge.


　I guess it's a routine act.~. Yes.
