"It might be a little too long, so let's have a meal."

　Right after eating the baked sweets, Maul happily offered it to us.
　Everything was said that Marul rarely invited anyone to the building, and that he was the only one except for the merchants who went there, and that it was so enjoyable to treat themselves.

　Relatives don't stop by often, and there are no close friends in the same ward.
　But I'm by no means picky, and I'd like to invite guests and talk to them every day if possible.

　I know a shy, lonely pharmacist like that.
　I'm not like him.

　But what is definitely different from him is that he is very active.
　He is the sort of man who comes to the Forty-second leg in search of bricks, and he seems to go all out looking for flowers in the garden until he finds something he likes.
　And they love new things, and they like even more unusual things.

"It's a beautiful garden,"
"Oh, really? Thank you."

　There were countless flowers planted in the garden of the house, but there was a larger garden behind it.
　The huge garden, so vast that even a giant maze would have cost you a fortune, spread all over the place.

　This building I thought was a small hill overlooking the river.
　Before entering the building, I saw Estella bustling down the river from the garden, but it was like a bonus.
　The river extended into the garden in the backyard in a large curve.
　In other words, it was connected to a cliff beyond.

　In other words, the garden at the back of Marul's house stretched out on a cliff rising above the border with the Forty-two wards.

"All the land we see from here is our land." I was told to be selfish when I left home."

　Originally, it seems that all the places where the interests of rivers and waterfalls could be created were managed by the lord, and all the watermills that stood along the river seemed to belong to the lord.
　There was a plan to build a waterwheel in the waterfall, but if it was installed there, it would be somewhat out of the 42 wards, and there was a possibility of a territorial dispute.
　Moreover, it was judged that the 29 wards, which had a narrow territory, had a small population and did not require much water wheels for milling wheat, so there was nothing in the waterfall.

　Therefore, the previous lord handed over the land on the condition that the house was built on a difficult land that could not be infringed by others, and that it was managed by Maul.
　However, there seems to be a good chance of immediate confiscation if the lord speaks to them.
　Marul seemed to give up thinking that if he could find a way to use the waterfall, he would be robbed regardless.


　--and
　Estella's beautiful scenery and my attention to money and interests... all I have to do is escape from the food at the table.

"Come on. Face the reality... No, you're not."

　Lucia calls out to our backs looking out of the wide open window at the backyard.
　Knock on the table and push for attention.
　I couldn't help it, so if I look back...

"I'm going to face these large quantities of beans."

　On the table, a large amount of bean food, which accounts for about 60 percent of the total, has been burned into the retina. ...this sight looks like a dream for a while.

"I'm sorry," It's a rule to use beans for more than 60 percent of the food when serving guests."
"...who made the decision, that's it?"
"Of course, the lords of each ward," You can say 'BU' in other words."

the rules set out in BU
　It's a rule to impose beans on others. ...Review it.

"I don't mind leaving this," There's no way I can eat so much anyway."

　Marul seemed to want to welcome us according to the rules, and the amount of food served was much larger than usual.
　In short, '60% of all beans are beans, but ignore beans and enjoy other dishes.'
　Only 40% excluding beans is about the average serving.

　Beans are wasted because in order to serve only ordinary rice, you have to put as much extra beans on the table as much as possible.
　There are 1.5 times as many beans on the table as ordinary rice.It's something that makes me want to express it.
　Some of them seem to have been boiled, but... most of them are green beans.

"I see. As long as I don't cook, I can use it all over again."

　Place raw beans on the table as "salads" and drop them as "remains" without touching them.
　Naturally untouched, it's just beans, not leftovers.
　You can eat it later or sell it somewhere.

"Well, there's no one who's going to get this large amount of stock,"

　a lonely muttering maul
　It may have been a way of thinking of wasting even a little food, but that won't reduce our stock.
　If the warehouse is flooded with beans, one day they will have to be damaged and disposed of.

　How could Maul, who has few friends, handle so many beans?
　I waste food no matter what to eat.
　He looks as if he is distressed by such a thing.

　...a little like the dismal expression Jeanette once showed.

"If you don't want it, I'll take it for free."

　I found myself talking such a ridiculous thing.
　... d*mn it!
　Does he want to excite me, smaller than a grain of rice, even if I'm not there?
　The cliffs are so close that there may be some air coming in from the 42 wards.

"But unlike everywhere else, we only have flounder,"

　I've heard that the specialty of the twenty‐nine wards is turmeric.
　Coffee shops and other shops used to serve peanuts and edamame, but as a blood relative of the lord of the manor, they were bound to serve a specialty product, Soramame.
　Come to think of it, it was only the lord who sent the bean to me in this ward.

"There's no other way but to boil and eat the bean, so it's a problem for both the recipients and the cook."
"I guess coffee shops prefer things that customers can eat up because they don't want to be left behind."
"According to what I hear, the rules in BU are 'serve beans to customers.' Beans that sell well are probably more interesting."

　Listening to Marul, Estella and Lucia guess the situation in this ward.
　It's probably not that far off.

"The percentage of beans served in a shop, the percentage of beans served by the lord and his relatives to guests, and other than that, the percentage of beans served varies depending on various circumstances. It's just a matter of consideration to make sure that it's not unreasonable... but it's strange when you say, 'Let the customer serve the beans.'"

　self-deprecating the distorted situation in which they were placedMull.
　Rather than complaining about the strange rules surrounding the residents...

"So, you know. You don't have to push yourself like that, palm pippie."

　It seemed like an overly detailed consideration to try not to bother me when I said I'd get all the flounder.

　... by all means. Do you think I'm saying it out of kindness?
　I have no idea of helping or reaching out to anyone in need with a good heart, even if there were some negative effects of Jeanette's good-natured aura.
　If I look kind, it's time for me to see and hide the benefits ahead of course.

"I'll tell you two things,"

　So, I'll tell Marul who cares about me under a misunderstanding.

"I don't like to eat too much. And then... if you give me this, I'll have a delicious time."

　Of course, it's not like eating dried beans and saying, "It's delicious!"
　Soramame is now a well-prepared ingredient to turn into bean paste.
　It's more efficient to stock up on what's available in advance than to rake up what you need after the plan has started working. That's all."If only we could manage tax measures, we would make a whole profit."
"Oh, then," I hope you'll take this with you."

　Maul instructs Cindy to bring a piece of paper.
　It was like a certificate with the words, 'This is a gift from the lord, to be exempted from taxes.'
　This seems to be free of taxes when you take out beans.

　It's only natural if you think about it.
　Not only beans, but also landlords would give gifts to the people they were acquainted with.
　Sometimes I make a tribute to my superiors.
　If you tax even such gifts, the gift will, on the contrary, be an enemy and crack your relationship with the other party.

　Tax exemptions are a proper system.
　Tax revenues will go into the hands of the lords anyway, and if they just "don't take it," it won't hurt the lords.

"Phew. You've gotten a lot nicer, haven't you?"

　Estella caresses my bangs in a teasing manner.
　Yes, it's unpleasant. Don't touch your bangs. be impatient of

"Assent said he was serious. The production of soy sauce is as good as a decision. Then we're just trying to gather the material so that it can be produced immediately into production. If I could get it for free, it would be a long time."
"Oh, I didn't know you trusted Assent so much."

　Come to think of it like this.

"When it comes to money, no one can be more reliable than him. whether you like it or not."
"Well, that'said he. Yes, yes."

　That know-it-all face, if you don't quit right now, you'll scream like a mountain climber from the cliff to the 42nd leg.
　Would you like to hear Yamabiko say "pettong" or "pettong"?

`Well, it's a red bean, you know?"
"Ah... it's hard to explain, but it's a kind of seasoning... and I'll treat you to it if I have the chance."
"Oh, I'm looking forward to it,"

　They give me so much bean. That's about all I can do. I hope they will also help me with tax exemptions when I bring them in.
　Otherwise, come and eat at the Yodamari-tei.

"Now, I'm ready,"

　Cindy, who was cooking with Natalia and Gilberta, speaks to us.
　I looked at the garden with amusement, ignored it completely, immersed themselves in the world, grabbed them by the neck of Theron and Wendy, who were all chattering with each other, and sat down.

"Ah, my hero... we're not messing with each other..."
"What? You did things like 'Pretty Flowers,' 'You're prettier,' and '...I'm so happy!'"
"Any newlywed would do that!"
"Did you do it!? I wish you would deny it, there!"

I expected the words "I didn't do that!"

　I swear to myself that I will never bring it again, and I will touch the food that is served.
　The taste was quite good, and even after eating baked sweets, chopsticks went on. ...well, I used a fork and a knife.
　I liked it quite a bit because it wasn't a typical aristocratic dish, but a rare yet nostalgic flavor like home cooking in a foreign country.

"I wonder what it's easy to get across,"

　Meanwhile, Marul broke the bread and let out a sigh.
　BU's bound by funny rules and 29 wards that cannot be defied. It was such a heavy sigh, as if I were worrying about the people of the domain who were submitting to such a situation.

　After thinking about it for a while, he glanced at me and nodded convincingly.

"Well, answer the palm-pippi question first."

　As he eats, Marul begins to speak quietly.
　She was born the daughter of a lord... and the process of living in this house.

"I was born the daughter of a lord, and learned, indoctrinated, and given everything to rule this ward... and at the same time everything else was taken away."

　He never puts any blame in his face, but turns the facts into words in a calm tone.

"My mother was not a very strong person, so I couldn't wish for any other child. Even my safe birth was called a miracle."

　As Estella used to say, there are few aristocrats in this town who like to marry twice.
　In the same way in the twenty-ninth district, it is said that the lord of the manor will continue to love one person throughout his life.
　Theron and Wendy were listening to the story with blank eyes. ...blow it up later.

"From the time I was six years old, my husband-in-law had been constantly visiting the house, and he gave me a lot of presents." But none of them reached me. If I receive it, it will be conveyed to the other party as a wrong answer."
"Even if I make up the facts, I'd like to marry my lord's son-in-law... I don't know there were many people like that."
"Well, you must have been desperate. But that desperation seemed terrifying to me as I was still young. I was beginning to feel scared of men."

　Everyone quietly listens to Marul's words so as not to interrupt.
　He was basically devoted to listening, asking questions instead of responding.

"By the time I reached adulthood, I was determined to remain alone for the rest of my life. I've spent my whole life defending this land--that's all I thought about. ...you were young, weren't you? I didn't think much about the rest of the rest of the world. I didn't know what to do."

　If Marul remains single all his life, the blood of the Erin family, the lord of the twenty-ninth district, will cease.
　If you've been in an environment where you've had male phobia since you were six years old, it's no use if your view of love becomes distorted and you can't have the right knowledge.
　Without some kind of positive interest, people don't want to learn the unknown.

　It is highly likely that Marul didn't even know how to have children, let alone the significance and significance of leaving offspring.
　It's nothing to be in a box. She is an iron‐walled lady locked herself up in an iron prison.

　That's exactly what Theron's father Bojek told him about Marul.
"The Lady of the Deep Window, who decided to stay single all her life."
　Marul's feelings must have been well known both inside and outside the building.

"My father was in a hurry, wasn't he?" You're in danger of extinction. ...but I had no intention of marrying my husband. At this rate, the Erin family will cease to exist. That's what everybody thought, and things changed suddenly when the aristocrats around me began to make noise."

　Perhaps the previous lord--Murr's father--was very impatient.
　Considering his age and appearance, he acted rather recklessly.

"I have a brother,"It would have caused considerable shock and despair to the aristocrats around here.
　If you can drop Maul -- I'm sorry to say it -- you can become a blood relative of the lord.
　Otherwise, if Marul succeeds to the lordship, the Erin family will eventually cease and the other nobles will succeed to the lordship.

　In preparation for either, the nobles must have spent considerable time and money preparing.
　That's the unexpected birth of a son.

　The Erin family took over by themselves.

"It was when I was twenty," My parents are quite old... I guess my selfishness has forced them to... my mother passed away shortly after she gave birth to her brother."

　Marul's mother, who was not physically strong. That's why she gave birth again twenty years after Marul's birth. The burden on the body is immeasurable.

"My world has changed completely since the birth of the heir. All the people who stuck to me suffocatingly disappeared at once, and all the expectations, responsibilities, pressures, and so on, disappeared in an instant. My whereabouts, and even my mission, which I never doubted because I believed I should risk my life."

　At the age of 20, Marul became a 'do-well' as soon as his successor was born.
　Maybe my mother's other world has something to do with it...Marul was reportedly forced out of the building.

"I'm surprised," Everything that used to belong to me, or at least everything that I thought it was, was gone. This body is all I have left. There was no one I could trust."

　However, the education he had received to become a lord and his own courage remained in Marul as "weapons."

"I created a place for myself on the condition that I manage this land that had been left untouched by the succession issue for a long time ago. This is my castle."

　A daughter negotiates with her father.
　If you are an aristocrat, it may be considered impudent or rude.
　However, the previous lord accepted it.

　I might have thought it was better than to mess with a funny guy.
　Marul is cornered, married to a lord of a neighboring district, and the territorial and succession issues are raised.
　It would have been the most convenient decision for a lord to let him have his own way and keep him there.

"When I was a child, I was envious of one thing that I liked when I was just thinking about becoming a feudal lord."
"Is that the garden?"
"Yes,"

　The lord's residence had a well‐maintained garden.
　That garden must have been the only thing that comforted Marul who could not do anything girlish.

"I was really eager to make a garden more beautiful than that one. Like a loser... That's when I met Cindy."

　Cindy frowned shyly at the mention of her story.

"It was so much fun to make a garden with Cindy, and from that day on my life became a garden. I thought I didn't need anything else."

　The gardens created in this way were incomparable in scale, incomparable in beauty, and incomparable in beauty.

"I wonder if it's because my parents' house was like that's why. I was very attracted to Theron's bricks, who believed in his skills and continued to push along his own route."
"I beg your pardon,"

　Theron, who shrugs his shoulders and bows his head impatiently.
　I feel a great distance from you, how you deal with it... Be more magnificent.
　Regardless of the real intentions, I feel a little sorry for Marul's attitude of "I'm so far away from you" to him when he asked me to marry him, but... well, it's a man called Theron who can't get away from that. I can't imagine Theron taking girls for granted.

"Mr. Merle,"

　Estella leaned forward and spoke modestly.

"Do you mean you didn't have any freedom when you said "like that" to your parents?"

　Marul had no decision, no veto, and everything was decided by his predecessor and his surroundings.
　deprive someone of his freedom, play with him, and, after all, abandon him easily.
　It's no use crying over spilt milk at such a family home...

　The meaning of the word 'like that' as Marul said refers to a self-righteous thing similar to such coldness. You would normally think so.
　However, Estella's expression is clouded if it is about coldness, then the phrase "unununununununununununununununununununununununununununununununununununununununununununununununununununununununununununununununun

　And the reading seemed correct, and Marul moved on to another problem.

"That's not the case... it's not the sort of thing, it's the lack of humanity, those people... no, all the people in this city."

　Marul, who lived his childhood believing that he would soon become a lord, must have been looking at this district with young eyes.

"In this city, majority rule is everything."

　I want to destroy such a system. I might have thought so.

　And Marul's story shifts to the actual state of BU, which created this unusual rule.
