Time flew by and the day of the lordship meeting came.
　Lucia, who had stayed overnight in the 42nd leg from the day before yesterday, had once returned to the 35th leg before the talks.
　Estella and others are scheduled to go up to 35 wards, join again, and then head to 29 wards.

　Information from Gilberta suggests that the last few days there have been guards at each of the 'BU' checkpoints and greater than usual security.
　Perhaps if I tried to force myself into the BU, I would have been stopped there.
　There is also information that letters have been checked.

　Under such circumstances, Estella and Natalia decided to go this time.
　If we go against it, even the talks could be in jeopardy.
　Their one‐sided attitude told us exactly that.

　A new letter from Maul also told him not to jump ahead.
　So I quietly saw Estella off at the Yodamari-tei.

　Jeanette sees Estella back into the carriage with a slightly anxious look on her face.
　The matter is finally settled today.
　Even if the content is unsatisfactory, it is not the right time to file an objection.
　In other words, if you raise an objection, the relationship with BU will be the worst, and the distribution will be destroyed.
　It's a piece of course.
Heavy taxes on taking out the goods to the outer peripheral area.'
You just have to make two rules: "heavy taxes on bringing in specialties from the outer peripheral area.

　Then, the 42 wards who resisted it will compete against BU...the result will be a war of attrition.
　We can't afford to be unharmed.
　I guess the BU think that the poor and humble outer cities will lose their economies in a long war.

"Have they come over here to scout?"
"…that's not it." On the orders of Medra-Mama, the guilds stood here and there as guards, but no one was caught in the net."
"Oh, that's what you've been doing,"
"...'Give me a hunting guild which is more useful than a fishing guild,'"
"What is that?"
"...the slogan of the present hunting guild."

　Medra seems to be burning with rivalry against Marsha.
　Don't compete.

"And can you trust the hunting guilds?"
"...not to mention the technical aspects."

　They're skilled at finding and hunting prey in the woods, and they're the first to detect and evacuate dangerous animals. I guess you're good at keeping watch and guarding.

"...and the Gustave seemed to be very enthusiastic, putting pressure on his juniors."
"Gustave?"
"...a piranha man in love with Marsha."
"Well...……?"
"...a high-pitched voice."
"Oh! That guy from that big eater!"

　That strangely religious, dream-land mouse-like piranha who confronted me in that piranha? Come to think of it, he was a zoccon for Marsha.

"Was it burning down Marsha?"
"...no. Rather, I was appealing for a joint fight. But he is suffering from a disease that, if named 'Sea Fishing Guild,' would unconditionally become too aggressive."
"My consciousness worked to see what's good about it said.He's the kind of guy who upset Filman."

　There are a lot of innocent men in this town. That's too much.

"Well, I think I'll be leaving soon."
"Ah, Mr. Jiro,"

　Jeanette stops me from going out.
　Then, ask him to wait a little while and enter the Yangtari-tei.
　Looking at Magda, Magda didn't seem to know what Jeanette was going to do.

　Just a little time passed and Jeanette came out with a huge basket. It's about the size of enough rice for ten people.
　offer me the basket ...I think it's too much for a lunch box for one person.

"If you are going to Newtown, could you deliver this to Mr. Loretta?"
"Oh, that's the case,"
"... Loretta, I hope you are alive."
"No, I'm alive."
"...excessive muscle pain... ...death."

　Well, that may be the case, but...

　To tell the truth, the day after returning from the 24th leg, Loretta had left the Yomari tei and engaged in an important task in a certain place since the afternoon after meeting Lucia at the Yomari tei.
　The work, which should normally take nearly a month, was completed in two and a half days.
　He looked like he was going to die again yesterday morning, but his energy continued because of his remaining work. However, fatigue is what comes to mind as soon as work is over.
　I'm sure things will be worse this morning.
　It is no wonder that Jeanette wants to feed her with something to eat.

"Isn't it too much to feed Loretta?"
"No, you know, Mr. Loretta seemed to eat a lot of snacks from his brothers."
"That's a wise decision,"

　Loretta's suffering from muscle pain means that Loretta's food is eaten up by her brothers and sisters.
　...they don't seem to listen very well at home.
　I mean, Loretta is kind of sweet. When you're seriously angry, all of your siblings are tight and licking means that you're considered safe.

　He seems to want to play the role of a strict eldest daughter, but his sweetness is blatant.

"Ginnette, if you want Loretta to eat for sure, choose a 'caregiver' from among your brothers and sisters. and the appointed man will take responsibility for taking care of Loretta."
"Well, Mr. Yashiro. I understand your siblings very well."
"...the eldest son as expected."
"No, it's not?"

　Loretta calls me "Big Brother" and it's kind of like that.
　Though my brothers and sisters have a lot of affection for me, too.
　I mean, I'm too nostalgic.

"Then, please appoint a person to eat deliciously with everyone who worked hard yesterday."
"Then this is not enough,"

　All my brothers and sisters were mobilized yesterday.

"Then, if you don't have enough, we'll ask you to come and eat at the Yodamari-tei."
"... you're in the red today, aren't you?"
"That's, you know, um... that's it, um... what did I say... ...Mr. Jiro often says... ...that's right, it's an 'investment!"
"When did I tell you?"

　Say something like, "I'll trust you and help you first."
　I'm not that kind of person.
　Also, what you pay later is not called an investment, is it?

"…you deserve a reward." "That's pretty amazing."Even Magda is highly praised.
　Well, is the "are" they've made up in two days worth it?
　And it's certain that 'are' will be the decisive factor in breaking down 'BU'......well, I guess it can't be helped.

"Then, just to-day,"
"Yes, it's special. ...huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

　What? That kind of smile?
　If you have anything to say, speak up. No, you don't have to tell me. I don't even want to hear it.

"Well, I'll be back,"
"Yes. Take care."
"...say hello to Loretta, 'Take a good rest.'"
"Hey, hey".

　Having been sent off, I'm leaving the Yodamari-tei.
　with a hefty





　set foot in a new town ......what day of the fair is it?
　There were stores lined up on either side of the New Town road. None of them, though, are open.
　Yesterday, and the day before yesterday, there were a lot of carpenters and loggers here, and there were many food shops for them.
　It's after the festival, isn't it? Since it's early in the morning, there's still silence around.

　Side-by-side with a row of stalls heading for the river, towards Loretta's house.
　Come to think of it, it might be the first time I've ever been to his house. I was always calling him out for something or other than that.

　The Lorettas, who had lived here from the beginning, had their house built in a very nice place during the redevelopment of the new town.
　Eviction fees and other implications.
　The place where they used to live was muddy all day because of bad water, but now they're moving to a fashionable place in New Town where the sun shines a little. The water is well drained.
　It's one of the best places in Newtown where Lucia's villa should be built, given the conditions. ...but Hammaro will be at risk, so Lucia's villa will be across the river.

"Oh... it's powerful to be in line."

　After a while, I found houses that looked like for sale, which gave me a sense of unity but showed me a subtle sense of individuality. three houses in all
　One is the main house, and the slightly larger one is the children's room -- or rather, the children's house.
　And there's one barn-like detached house where you can store your work tools.
　These are all houses for the Loretta family.
　If you look closely, all the houses are connected by a corridor.

　The main house is home to parents and Loretta, while all other siblings live in children's homes.
　In fact, I was thinking of letting them live in three separate houses, but the cramped ones calmed down, so my brothers and sisters get along well and live close together.
　Come to think of it, the hamsters I saw at the pet shop were sleeping in a small place piled up.

　And the hamsters in charge of all kinds of occupations in the 42 wards own as many tools as they can. The amount was not too much, and when there was a place to put tools, a maintenance room, and a training room to teach how to handle them, the detached building was completely filled.

　There was a time when I said I'd build another house, but I didn't need Loretta or my siblings.
　Oh, no, I think Loretta said... "If you're going to make it anyway, I'd like a small room to keep my parents separate from my children..."
　But he says he lives in the main house with Loretta, who knows he'll have endless children.

　Maybe I'll give you a hanging scroll with the words 'principle' written on it as a present.

　So I head to the main building.
　The main building is equipped with a large bath and a kitchen as big as a dining room, and a living room for the whole family.
　So even if my brother and sister's room is in a separate building, we meet several times a day. Family ties are a treasure to the Lorettas.

"Hey, Loretta! Are you alive?"

　I knocked on the door and my sister peeped into it.

"Oh! My brother!"

　My sister is about 11-13 years old, and she is old enough to sell at Yodamari-tei's second store, 7th store.
　He's a hamster in the solid category.

"Do you want me, sister or father?"
"... Loretta,"
"What a shame."

　I don't know what's disappointing about it, but I guess it's a little too firm.
　I hope the hamsters will remain innocent children who don't care about anything like that.

"Sister, I couldn't get out of bed this morning."
"Is it that bad?"
"It's the younger brothers' job to dig a hole, but they dug a lot to show their good points."
"He... wants to play a good game with his brother and sister."
"""The eldest daughter's dignity"" is my habit."

　That kind of stubbornness undermines your dignity.

"Then, for the time being, ask me what I have come and if I may go to see you."
"I wish I could come in,"
"When I'm about Loretta's age, I'm ashamed to see my dressing-gown."
"...I'm wearing it?"
"...I don't think Loretta is naked, either."

　No matter how much Natalia is made much of in BU, Natalia's nightclothes won't be popular. . . . . . . . . . . . . in the first place. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Well, I'll ask you,"

　see one's sister off with a flutter
　A little sister appeared with her little brother in her arms.

"Ah! Hey, hey!
"Hey! Hey!"
"Are you guys not in church?"

　The little hamster should be looked after in church.

"You're home today!"
"What!"

　To sum up her barking sister's words, she went home temporarily to help heal her siblings after working hard.
　...isn't it taking more time to look after you?

"I'm going to clean up the shop today."
"Oh, no, wait. Tell him to leave the shop as it is."
"To whom?"
"Well... do you know Umaro?"
"The carpenter's fox!"
"... your perception of wombaro sometimes gets cold when you look at it from the end."

　Well, it's probably my fault."Tell her that you know Umaro,"
"All right!"

　My sister runs away with her arms up.
　Holding in my sister's arms, my brother is also waving his arms up.
　I guess you're old enough to copy me.

"Yay! I got a job!"
"Picker!"
"Wait a minute! How do you know that?"

　Are there any monsters in this world that make a twinkling sound?
　Or the game of Forced Translation Magic.........the latter, perhaps.

"Brother. My sister said, 'Wait five more minutes! Put the room away for a second... Itatata! ... wait about 40 minutes after all...' with an interesting movement.
"The impersonation was very similar... but I don't have to reproduce it so faithfully."

　I could easily imagine Loretta falling out of bed with muscle pain as she hurriedly tried to clean it up.

"Wait in the living room!"
"Is that so? Well, let me interrupt you."
"Yes! But if you hear anything upstairs, cover your ears!"

　... Yeah. My parents' room is upstairs, isn't it?
　It's not good from an educational standpoint, is it, my parents?

　Well, let me go up for now.

　My sister takes me to the comfortable living room where I feel like a woman.
　It's a fairly spacious living room, but it's natural for all the brothers. I wonder where they eat.
　If we wanted to eat together, we'd have a barbecue outside, wouldn't we?
　Do you want me to make a furnace in the garden?

"Whoa!? Whoa! Home visit!"

　Hammaro's eyes roll when he finds me in the living room.
　hold a large basket in one's hands What's inside is probably laundry.

"Are you all right, Hammaro?"
"Hummallow?"
"You've been working all these two days, haven't you?"

　Loretta has a pretty dry face, though she's tired to the point-blank.

"I don't care! My body is different! At the genetic level!"
"The genes are exactly the same, you boys,"
"I can't resist it, the curse of blood!"

　Where do you remember those words? Well, you've completely forgotten metaphorical expressions.

"Are you going to wash your clothes now.
"Yes! Your pants are delicate, so you need to wash your hands!"
"... now that you know what Loretta has told you, don't spread your pretty pink pants and show them to me. You'll be knocked off later."

　Loretta seems to be wearing pretty pants, too.
　I was wondering what I would do if I had worn tattered clothes to save money, but I'm relieved.
　Then her sister returns.

"Big brother. My sister is going to go get me."
"Oh, well, shall we go?"
"I'll go, too!"
"No, you go wash it."
`For the rest of the fun!"
"It's just putting off work, isn't it?

　Stuck between my sister and Hammaro, I head upstairs to the main building.
　There are several rooms upstairs, too... well, it's dangerous to let my little brothers live here... those parents.

"This is my sister's room."
"If you open it without knocking, you'll get in trouble!"
"It's easy to imagine you being scolded."

　Loretta is also an old girl, isn't she?
He's saying, "I'm telling you to knock!"

"Well, let's open it without knocking. --clack!'
"Wow!? No, I always tell you to knock!"

　Loretta wraps up in bed.
　Yeah. That's what I expected.

"What would you do if you were changing, brother?"
"You don't go out of your way to change clothes when you hear I'm here, do you?"
"Yes! You can change into a pretty nightclothes!"
"...don't go out in your night-gown,"

　He soothes the red-faced Loretta into his room.
　... well, even though it's Loretta, it smells a little sweet and sweet.

"Are you messing up your snacks in your room?"
"You have poppuri that Milichy taught you!"

　Oh, come to think of it, you've been taught before.
　There is a small bottle filled with bright petals.

"Did you make it yourself?"
"Yes, I've been doing it a lot since I was taught. It's just a hobby."
"Did you have any hobbies?"
"Yes,"
"And what do you mean by making things?"
"Hehe... when I see your brother, I think I want to make something."

　That's why you're making things that you can do.

"You look like a girl,"
"It's a girl!? What do you think I am, me!"Loretta's room was very girlish.
　There is a white, round doll by the bedside that Jeanette has made for me. ... you're a teru boshi, that motif.
　The sheets on the bed are also floralized as to how they were made.
　That's a good deal if you want the ukurinez to make it.

"I dyed this with Mr. Neferry".
"Neferry, can you dye?"
"That's great, Mr. Neferry," I think I can live on that road."

　Well, I don't think we'll do anything other than a chicken farm.
　I see, I'm not that good at that... ...let me dye my hair indigo. in the fabric of a yukata

"You're good at it. You'll be happy if you use Jeanette."
"Next time, I'll make it for the manager and Magdachy."
"Yes, do it,"
"I'm going to make it for you, too. Please look forward to it".

　Well... I don't like floral patterns...

"Do what I like,"
"The milk is a little..."
"Who sleeps on that blanket?"

　It seems that in Japan there are bedsheets and stuff like that.
　I don't want it. A flat drawing of milk is not milk!
　I like that bulge!

`The plane is not breast!'
"Apologize to Mr. Estella!"

　That's an open‐minded tip.
　You're the only one who should apologize.

"And Jeanette made you a lunch box."
"Wow! That's great! If you eat the manager's food, you'll all recover from muscle pain, cramps, and mysterious sleep paralysis!"
"Erikser, his cooking... you've been overworked, your muscles."

　The cramps and sleep paralysis are evidence of a lot of fatigue.

"Sister, can you call me two more and take care of Loretta?"
"All right! I'll call you!"
"Well, brother," I don't need to be taken care of."
"No, without a nurse..."
"Oh! That's a great snack!"
` -- and you can't prevent them, can you?'
"Hammaro, what are you eating with?"
"Hummallow?"
"It's you! It's you who's putting on your fried chicken without permission!"

　A guy who is about to go washing is picking fried chicken with his bare hands.
　So don't touch the laundry...

"Wipe it off! Just my clothes."
"Hey! Don't wipe it with your clothes!"
"I don't care! This is my brother's pantyhose!"
"Hey!? Don't spread it out! Don't even look at it!"

　Yes. Sorry.
　I already saw it.

`You're going to go and do the laundry!'
"You're in your prime, flatly refusing!"
"Hammaro, when you're done with your work, go to Yodamari-tei. You can eat as much as you like."
"If I get a reward, I can do my best!"

　Hammaro goes to the laundry in high spirits.
　...it's really hard to deal with them every day.

"Good job, Loretta."
"... I'm really tired."

　Hammaro, who was noisy, went to the laundry, and my sister went to secure a nurse, so I and Loretta were alone in the room.
　...yeah, d*mn it! This sweet scent makes the girl in Loretta conscious.

"Why don't you put up a statue of Javier around here?"
"I don't like it, it's a place where you can see it when you sleep!"

　Since it's Loretta's room, I'd like a little more laughable ingredient.
　First of all, I will complete the messenger I was asked to do.

"Can you eat a lunch box lunch.
`I have a pain in my arm, but I can eat it,'
"I don't usually dig holes, but I'm very excited."
"Because... she's the eldest daughter."
"I told you to lead the battle, didn't I? I thought it was the best way to mobilize all the hamsters and take control of them."
"I think it was a little difficult to finish it in two days because Umaro and others are sweet to their younger brothers and sisters."

　No matter how much a hamster likes to work, it doesn't mean he won't get tired.
　Most importantly, they are still children. Their physical strength is not limitless, and their energy doesn't last long when they want to play.
　That's what I kept working without a break. You must be harsh.
　In that case, it's also difficult for other people, the umaro.

　So it's Loretta.

"You've made me crazy,"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... But..."

　Hold your knees and gently place your head on them.
　Sitting triangularly on the bed, enjoying and proudly saying.

`I thought, 'Oh, we're working now.' I thought, 'It's great that this is good for the Forty-two wards.'And embarrassedly.

"...I'll do whatever you want,"

　He told me so.
　You'll be happy to say...
　You need a reward for this, don't you?

"Loretta, what do you want to eat? I'll feed you."
"Huh!? Well, that's what I do when I'm taking care of my child. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

　He seems to have been at odds with something, but he seems to have given in after all.
　Cut an egg into bite-sized pieces and pick them up with chopsticks and carry them to Loretta's mouth.

"Oh, um... I want you to tell me, too.Well, the standard...

　Oh, that's the standard... Oh, that's it.

"Loretta is normal~"
"That's not it! And it's not the norm!"

　I know.

"... I love you, oh!
"Hehe... You're nice."
"Hurry up,"
"Yes, yes. ... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

　Loretta opened her mouth and... closed her eyelids for some reason.
　Don't kiss me. Keep your eyes open.
　Keep the eggs close to the mouth of the waiting Loretta to avoid dropping them.
　At that time--

"I've decided to take care of your sister!"
"Great selection!"
"I'll cure you of any disease or injury!"

　--my sister rushed into the three-man room and hardened.

"'…'"
`Oh, my God, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, no!'

　a rush‐back Loretta
　a broiled egg left on chopsticks
　You don't want to show your sister how spoiled you are, do you?

"Sister,"
"Big Brother".
"Why...?"
"'Do you want me to call you father and mother?'"
"You don't have to do anything unnecessary!"

　Somehow, I feel like I'm going to be made a part of my family if I'm in this house. So I decided to leave early.





　Then walk around pla and New Town.

　At last the sky is turning morning color.
　Estella will still be a long way off joining Lucia. We will arrive at the twenty-ninth leg a long way before that.

　I've got to do it by then.
Prepare the groundwork to turn the BU upside down.

　That's why I start walking towards the river again.
　in the direction of the cliff where No. 1 stands
