Chapter 28:
Mutual Difference in Interest
Eight days
had passed
since the day Valetta failed to go to Japan from the other world. It
was in the morning,
Kazura was
together with Valetta behind the Village Chief’s residence, where a fence has been
erected for the two Rootcut birds. Both of them was giving the birds feed.
The type of feed
given to the birds was a feed with balanced nutrition, it was something he had bought
in Japan six day ago.[1]
The Rootcut birds were pecking at the
scattered feed on the ground like it was delicious, their appearance like this
was very similar to chickens in Japan.
「Good, good,
eat a lot and lay a lot of eggs. If you can; please also lay a fertilized egg.」(Kazura)
For the
last few days, maybe because the feed from Japan was really effective on the
Rootcut birds, in the span of 4 days they’d laid 2 eggs.
But so far,
the parent birds didn’t warm any of the eggs, but before long they might lay a
fertilized egg.
Because
there were only 2 birds and it would be troublesome if they go weak and died, Kazura
fed them with feed from Japan and just as expected their constitution had
improved.
「If in the
future the number of Rootcut bird keep increasing, after several years I think
that raising Rootcut birds can become village’s new industry...... I also need
to study about poultry farming more.」(Valetta)
Since
establishing the fact that she couldn’t go to Japan together with Kazura, Valetta
had been pursuing her studies with more zeal.
Kazura was also
studying together with Valetta, however her learning rate was tremendously
fast. Instead, Kazura ended up being taught on the study by Valetta as the
first one who grasped the field’s subject.
Since they
hadn’t learned anything about poultry farming yet, he only had the information
he’d heard from the Homecenter’s employee when he purchased the feed, but not
the fundamental knowledge of how to raise chickens.
「The next
time I return to Japan, I will buy a treatise on poultry farming..... Soon we
will need a bookshelf...」(Kazura)
During the
last 8 days, Kazura had went back to Japan several times to purchase groceries,
and while he was at it he also bought a large amount of books as a souvenir for
Valetta.
However,
recently the number of books had increased considerably, and they would keep
piling up in the corner of Kazura’s room if they didn’t prepare a place to
store them.
「That’s
true..... Since we felled a lot of trees to pay the taxes, let’s use some of
them to build bookshelves.」(Valetta)
「Since we’re
building it, how about building a large one...... Hm? It looks like someone is visiting.」(Kazura)
The two were
talking and feeding the Rootcut birds when they heard several people calling the
village chief’s name in a loud voice from the house’s entrance.
It seemed that someone from the village was visiting, but for some reason
they seemed to be in panic.
Both of them looked up at that unusual atmosphere, and while wondering what
was happening, they shuffled their feet towards the entrance.
✦✧✦✧
When both of them arrived at the residence entrance, there was Valin and
ten-odd villagers in a deep talk with serious expression on their faces.
The villagers noticed that Kazura and Valetta were coming so everyone became
silent. They were looking at Kazura with imploring expressions thoroughly mixed
with anxiety.
「.......Ummm......」(Kazura)
「Everyone, did something happen?」(Valeta)
Kazura was troubled because of the sudden stares so Valetta stepped forward
and asked the villagers.
The villagers kept their mouth shut and stared at the ground, so Valin who
unable to let the silence continue began to speak.
「......It seems that an army from Isteria is heading to Grisea Village on
the eastern highway. Their numbers are 100 people.」(Valin)
「Eh!?」(Valetta)
Hearing her father’s words, Valetta turned her head towards Kazura.
Until now, as far as Valetta knew, except for eliminating Greysior in the
legend, the Isterian Army had never come to Grisea Village.
Even the 3 soldiers who visited the village for soldier conscription during
the time of war with Balveile was already considered as a lot.
「......Umm, I think I should go back to my room for now.」(Kazura)
This time even Valetta joine in with everyone and stared at Kazura. Since
he could feel the heaviness in the air, he decided to withdraw to his room.
Excluding Valetta, everyone in this place including Valin believed that
Kazura was Greysior.
In that case, if he was still there then the villagers wouldn’t be able to
continue their talk, that was what Kazura thought.
After Kazura said so, under the gaze of everyone, he hurriedly vanished
into the residence’s interior.
After making sure that Kazura had gone inside the residence, the villagers
once again turned their face to Valin.
「Chief...... The army heading to the village is going to capture
Kazura-sama, it’s not the usual envoy who was sent by Nelson-sama!」(Villager)
「No, that still hasn’t been confirmed yet....」(Valin)
「For what other reason is such an army coming to this village? If this is
just like in the legend, then Kazura-sama...... Greysior-sama will once again
leave our side!!」
Although they were talking in low voices since they were anxious of Kazura
who was inside the residence, the bloodcurdling appeal from the villagers made
Valin unintentionally flinch.
For the villagers, Kazura was Greysior, who had came and saved them from
the problems in the village.
The villagers feared that just as in the legend, the god of benevolence and
harvest, who appeared in order to save them, would once again be seized and
carried off by the feudal lord’s hand. That was the reason the villagers fell
into panic.
「We don’t want to repeat the same mistake from the legend this time. So
please bring out the weapons inside the residence.[2]」(Villager)
「H-Hey, what are you talking about!? Do you want to point your blade on
Nelson-sama’s army?! Don’t say such a foolish thing!!」(Valin)
Bring out the weapons -- the villagers were thinking something outrageous,
so Valin yelled with a loud voice.
To point a blade at the Isterian Army held the same meaning as rebelling
against Arcadia.
Although the villagers shrunk back from the angry Valin for a moment, the
next moment they started glarng back at Valin, and stepped forward.
「Several hundred years ago, despite being their lives being saved by
Greysior-sama, our ancestor let him be captured and couldn’t protect him. But
Greysior-sama forgave us, the descendant of those sinners and once again lent
his hand towards us. We won’t let the same mistake happen again, this time we
will not abandon Greysior-sama.」(Villager)
「However, to battle with Nelson-sama’s army is......」(Valin)
Hearing the villager’s words, Valin’s expression grew sour and he grumbled.
He could personally empathize with the villagers. Even Valin himself
thought that he wanted to completely prevent Kazura from being captured.
However, if they dared defy Nelson-sama’s army then what awaited them would
be capital punishment or enslavement.
If it would be finished only by sentencing Valin to death, then he would
gladly do it numerous times for Kazura, however he had no doubt that the
village would also receive heavy punishment.
Of course, his family would be put to the death while the villagers would
be certainly be killed or turned into slaves.
「I also agree with what everyone has said. I also thought that if they came
to capture Greysior-sama, then even if our opponent was Nelson-sama’s army, we would
raise our weapons and fight them.」(Valetta)
While Valin was thinking about what he should do, Valetta, who was silent
until then, personally gave out her opinion.
Valin, who never imagined that Valetta would say something like this, was
very much surprised and looked intently at his daughter.
The villagers also had their resolve strengthened by Valetta’s opinion.
「However,」(Valetta)
When Valin was about to open his mouth to remonstrate Valetta for agreeing
with the villagers, she turned her position towards the villagers and continued
her speech.
「I’m afraid to say, even if every one of us held a weapon and went to
battle, it would still be hard for us to repulse an army close to 100 people. After
all, the people in this village who can fight on par with a soldier, based on
my estimation is only 10 people at most.」
The villagers, who were at first pleased that Valetta agreed with their
view, were making noises after having that be pointed out by Valetta.
「Ho-However, while that may be true we still have to battle! After all even
Valetta-san had said that about going to battle just now, right?!」 (Villager)
An agitated male villager approached her and spoke out. Valetta looked him
in the eyes and nodded.
「Yes. If it is necessary then of course I will fight. However, that’s only
as a last resort. Since our objective is to protect Greysior-sama, as long as
this can be achieved, there is no need to fight against Nelson-sama’s Army.」(Valetta)
「However, to protect Greysior-sama we can only fight....」(Villager)
「I’m certain that there are still other options that we could take other
than fighting. About the army who heading to the village, do anyone here know
when they will arrive?」(Valetta)
When Valetta asked that question, everyone looked at each other, then one
young male villagers raised his hand.
「From whom did you hear this?」(Valetta)
「From a Rata[4]
Cavalry. He said that, since the army will arrive in one hour, please tell the
village chief to come out and meet with them.」
After Valetta heard this, she let out a sigh of relief.
From that story she could guess the aim of the army that was coming to the village.
She believed that they weren’t coming to capture Kazura.
If their aim was to capture Kazura then they wouldn’t send a cavalryman to
inform the army’s time of arrival to the village.
When the villagers heard that an army will come, the very first thing came
to their mind was about Kazura’s existence in the village as the Greysior in
the legend, which caused them to fall into such extreme thinking.
Though Valetta had momentarily thought about explaining her reasoning to
the villagers, they wouldn’t just accept it.
Rather than explaining to the agitated villagers, she thought about another
way to temporarily calm them.
After deliberating for several seconds, she quickly faced the villagers and
started giving several instructions to them.
✦✧✦✧
While Valetta was giving instructions to the villagers, inside his own room
Kazura was stuffing his clothes and various articles into the travelling bag.
From what Valin had said, it seemed that Isterian Army was getting close to
the village.
Although he didn’t know what objective the Army had in coming to this
place, he judged that it would be better if he disappeared from the village, at
least for the time being.
If the Army was to stay at the village for several days, there was the
possibility that his existence would be discovered at some time during that
period.
After all, Kazura was a person that shouldn’t exist in this village, if the
Army was carrying something like a citizen registry of the village, even if he’d
had a similar appearance as the villagers, he would still eventually be found
out.
Kazura was stuffing his personal belongings into the bag and saw the
mountain of books in the corner of the room. He was thinking that he might need
to bring the books back, when Valetta, who had finished the talks, entered the
room.
「Kazura-san...... Ah, are you already done packing up?」
Finished with packing his bag, Kazura was looking at the books in the
corner. Looking at him like that, Valetta displayed a smile.
「Yes, for the time being, I will take refuge in Japan. The Isterian Army
that Valin talked about previously, how soon will they arrive at the village?」(Kazura)
「No, it will be 1 Koku...... 2 hours before they arrive. In the meantime, we
need to conceal everything that mustn’t be seen......」(Valetta)
Hearing Valetta’s answer, Kazura once more turned his attention towards the
piled up books.
「I wonder if it will be alright, leaving these books behind..... What’s the purpose of that army to come to
this village anyway?」(Kazura)
Valetta, who was asked by Kazura, put her hand near her mouth and thought
for awhile.
「I don’t really know their objectives, but since they sent a cavalryman to
contact the village, it seems that their reason to come to this village is not
Kazura-san. Maybe they will just pass through this village and head for another
direction or they are just stopping by as a part of training.」(Valetta)
Hearing that their objective was not him, Kazura sighed out of relief.
Previously, when he went to Isteria, there was some trouble with Nelson’s
daughter. He was worried whether or not this would cause something to happen.[5]
Just like what Valetta had said, if the army’s objective was just stopping
by for training or an expedition, then he would be able to return to the
village before long.
「I’ll be glad if that’s true. However, well... Just to be sure, it will be
better if I return to Japan...... Not only these books, but the hoes and tools
that I gave out to the villagers also need to be hidden.」
Hearing Kazura’s words, Valetta replied that it would be alright and
smiled.
「Not long ago, I instructed the villagers to put all the tools that Kazura
had brought and hide it below the floor. Even if they are checking the space
below the floor, since it was dark they wouldn’t be able to tell them apart from
bronzes hoe so I think it won’t be discovered.」(Valetta)
「Oooh, good job Valetta-san. Then, it would be alright to put these books
into a cloth bag and then put that in the corner of the storageroom, right?」(Kazura)
「That’s true...... Putting the books inside the bags in the house, then just
to make sure, put various things on top of the books. I think it will be
alright.」(Valetta)
If the objective of the army coming to the village wasn’t to capture Kazura
then they wouldn’t conduct a search in the village, but there would be no
problem to store things that would be troublesome if it got found out, into a
place that wasn’t eye catching.
Kazura nodded at Valetta’s reply and faced the mountain of books again.
「Then, should we start putting this book away quickly?」(Kazura)
「Yes. I will go and get the bags for the books.」(Valetta)
And thus, although it differed from what they had planned at first, they
began to store the piled up books in the corner.
✦✧✦✧
It was about 2 hours after the villagers of Grisea village started their
cover-up.
Isaac, who had taken the unit with him, ordered his aide to prepare a camp at
a location 200 meters from Grisea village’s entrance.
Since the time was just before the noon, the camp preparation was really
too early, however to conduct an inspection in Grisea village, Isaac as the
commandant of the unit needed to separate from them. So, in the meantime he
decided to make them prepare a camp.
Besides, the marchers this time had only brought along several Ratas as
baggage carriers and they hadn’t brought along any attendants with them, so all
the soldiers needed to prepare the camp with their own power, and since it
would take a lot of time it was something good to kill time while Isaac was
busy.
Since every soldier attached to Isaac’s unit had an aristocratic origin,
they were used to the attendants carrying and doing things for them. So it was
inevitable that it would take a lot of time since they were doing unfamiliar
work, however, their bad performance far exceeded Isaac’s expectations.
Today was the third day after they’d departed from Isteria. The camp
preparation on the first day had had really terrible result. They started
setting up the tents before dusk but when all tents had been set up and they’d
began the preparations for dinner, the sky was already sparkling with stars.
Compared to the first day, the camp preparation yesterday was more or less
relatively quick, but it seemed that even today it would still take a lot of
time.
「Then I will go to the village and begin the inspection. Perhaps it will
last until the evening, so until then I entrust the command to you.」(Isaac)
「I understand...... Ah, Captain, about the water supply, may we use the
water channel in the village?」(Aide)
While in the middle of marching, Isaac and his aide had a conversation
about Grisea Village’s state of affairs or the surrounding geography and such
other topics. It seemed that the aide had remembered about the newly built
water channel in the village.
Since it would take a long of time to fetch water from the river, if they
could take water directly from the water channel in the village, it would be
very convenient for them.
「Hmm, you’re right...... Alright, I’ll ask the village chief Valin-san for
permission to use the water channel in the village. Select 4 men to fetch the
water.」(Isaac)
The aide who received hat order, although knitting his brow at Isaac’s words,
replied with an “Understood” and called out to 4 soldiers who were sitting
nearby.
The soldiers, who were called out, quickly rose up and ran up to the wagon
and took out water buckets.
Isaac let out a sigh in his heart while watching the aide, who in turn
observed the soldiers running, “After this I need to focus my attention on Grisea
Village.”

NEXT WEEK:
ISAAC ENTERS THE VILLAGE WITH HIS TROOP.
What will happen?
Genjitsu 3B is finished, let’s just wait for
the editor. Now I’ll start working on Mira’s LN Chapter 4 and catch up with the
translated WN!
[2] Remember that the weapons are stored in Valin’s house.

DeleteI feel like the name at the top is off...for some reason
ReplyDeleteCan you elaborate?
Deleteit was about the label thingy
Deleteoh nvm, it was the label that says "When i was going out from my house to stop being a hiki-neet for 10 years; I was transported to another world"
ReplyDeleteFixed!Thanks for pointing this out.
DeleteThanks for the new chapter!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter! :)
ReplyDeletethough I'm quite confidence in my english skill but I'm cofused what is the chapter name mean.....
ReplyDeleteWell the Japanese title is "それぞれの温度差".
DeleteThe rough meaning is: "Each side/everyone's difference in temperature."
Difference in temperature is a figurative way to say difference in interest, enthusiasm, way of thought, etc.
SO I translate it as Mutual Difference in Interest:
Kazura's interest : Enjoy life
Valetta's interest : Protect Kazura's peaceful life with peacefuly
Villager's interest : For Greysior-sama!
Issac's interest : finish job
Army's interest : running away from Zirconia's hell
So everyone has diferrent intention...
Thanks! How often will you update this novel? I really like it :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter!
ReplyDeleteThe village denies all knowledge of a monstrous giant superchicken destroying the city.
ReplyDeleteI won't be surprised if the doped chickens broke down a house or two.
