Chapter 93: Trial Digging
Commence
Two days later, morning.
At breakfast, when Kazura arrived at the dining room together with Marie, there
were already other people inside.
This morning, Zirconia also participated and she smiled when she noticed
Kazura’s presence.
There were no trace nor signs of the slightly exhausted expression she had the
other day and her physical condition seems to be excellent.
Since Kazura had I given Lipo-D for Zirconia to Eira, perhaps this was the
result of its effect.
「Kazura-san, good morning. Please
accept my apology to be absent for two days.」(Zirconia)
「No, it's fine. Do you feel
better today?」(Kazura)
「Yes, I’m already feeling well,
I can work even right now.」(Zirconia)
Zirconia spoke with a bright expression, so Kazura sighed a relief inside
his mind.
For the past two days, Kazura couldn’t erase the Zirconia’s crying face
that stuck in his mind and felt depressed of what’s happened with her.
However, seeing her expression, it seemed that for the time being, she had recovered
somehow.
「Ano, Kazura-sama, about the work for today……」(Lieze)
When Kazura took his seat, Lieze who was sitting on his right, spoke to him
with an apologetic face.
It seemed that there was traces of fatigue remained on her face.
「Similar to the yesterday, there
are another audiences has been scheduled and so I couldn’t accompany you for
today…… I am terribly sorry.」(Lieze)
「Is that so?…… but the audiences
are also important matters, right? I already appreciate if you can help me when
you are free, so please don’t worry about it.」(Kazura)
「Thank you very much. Actually,
tomorrow and the day after tomorrow there will be audiences even until the
evening…… So will it be alright if the military inspection is performed 3 days from
now?」(Lieze)
「The audiences are 4
consecutive days? It will be alright even if the inspection is at a later date,
so please take a rest at least for a day……」(Kazura)
「No, 3 days from now, my
schedule will be absolutely empty, so please let me accompany you. 」(Lieze)
Since Lieze’s schedule was very packed, Kazura was worried about her.
Lieze must have been very busy with the waterwheel installation in the farmlands
and negotiation with the craftsmen every day in his absence.
Furthermore, it seemed that she received territory administration and
military related lectures from her exclusive tutor between the gaps of her crowded
schedule,.
Although he felt sorry to interrupt her meager break day, the person herself
didn’t feel like taking a day off.
「Are you planning to inspect
the military?」(Zirconia)
Listening to their conversation, Zirconia looked at Kazura with a surprised
face.
「Yes, the day before yesterday,
Nelson-san had given me some explanation about the armament, but I wanted to at
least see it personally firsthand. Also, if there is a time later, then I would
like to hear about the diplomatic situation.」(Kazura)
「Oh my, thank you very much! Then
if you don’t mind then…… ah, no, it’s nothing.」(Zirconia)
Zirconia was about to say, “should I guide you for the inspection after the
breakfast”, but she felt a dark aura behind Lieze who sat opposite of her, so
she retracted her words back.
Since she heard unanticipated words coming from Kazura, it seemed that she
had unconsciously going to say an unnecessary remark.
From Eira’s words, the relationship between the two was progressing
favorably.
Since Liese seemed to aggressively trying to conquer Kazura, so in a situation
where these two were together, then it would be better if she stepped aside as
much as possible.
In these past few days, Zirconia was aware that Kazura was really concerned
about her.
Until the yesterday evening, she kept feeling depressed due to the failure
of the night visit, but after having experienced the effect of the cosmetic
products and the Lipo-D brought by Eira, she felt that her mood made a complete
change into an exhilarated state.
After drinking the Lipo D, her body that felt heavy like lead from overwork
and lack of sleep was fully relieved in a mere 2 hours and her current physical
condition was top form.
In addition, thanks to the cosmetics given to her, her skin that looked
rough began to radically improve overnight.
She experienced similar phenomenon when taking a bath with the bath
salt, but the effect of the cosmetics surpassed that by a wide margin.
Even though she had been surprised many times by the performance of the goods that
were brought by Kazura, it was unexpected for her that he even possessed
drugs and cosmetics with magic-like effect.
For him to give medicines and cosmetics with such effects to her as if
these were apology gifts, she realized that she was just she was too
over-concerned about the event that evening.
If Kazura had lost interest in her, then he wouldn’t be this concerned for
her like this.
On the contrary, her really depressed-like state was able to induce Kazura’s
sympathy and concern.
If she made good use of this situation then she could successfully attract Kazura’s
attention even more.
「If there is any information
you that you need, please inform me. Since I supervise the military, I believe
I can answer that question.」(Zirconia)
「I understand. Then, I hope for
your cooperation when that time comes. But, since I don’t know if I can give
any advise, please don’t expect too much.」(Kazura)
I mustn’t fan their expectations conceitedly, Kazura appended his words.
However, Zirconia didn’t made any particularly disappointed expression and
smiled brightly at Kazura.
「It will be enough, even if you
only observing. Thank you very much.」(Zirconia)
「Yes, we are truly obliged that
Kazura-dono is helping us in internal affairs as well…… Nonetheless, we are
truly saved to also receive an advice in the military affairs. We are extremely
grateful.」(Nelson)
「Ah, yes, for now, I’ll be just
looking around. Lieze-san, I’ll be depending on you next time.」(Kazura)
「Yes!」(Lieze)
Meanwhile, the breakfast preparation had been finished, so after 2 days, the
four of them finally ate the breakfast together.
✦✧✦✧✦
The same day, afternoon.
In a certain corner of the Isteria city, kazura explained to the well-diggers
about how to use the small well-digging auger.
Beside Kazura there was the armored figure of Zirconia, who was listening to
his explanation seriously.
There were cloths stretched around to conceal the work scene from the
surrounding.
Isaac and Havel didn’t accompany Kazura, so the people in this place were
Kazura, Zirconia, several escorts, servants, and the craftsmen in this place.
Since it was necessary to construct aqueducts for the hydroturbine generator
at Nelson’s mansion, Isaac and Havel were working at that task.
「Pierce the tip into the ground
like this, then turn the handle and it will dig the ground. The dug up soil will
be gathered at the tip, so after you dig to a certain extent, raise the
well-digging auger and remove the soil. Keep repeat this step.」(Kazura)
The small well-digging auger brought by Kazura was a T–shaped handle
attached to a cylindrical container at its tip.
The container tips was a sharp edge shaped like opened bird's beak, if the handle
is turned when it was pierced into the ground, then it will gouge the ground to
dig it.
Because there was a valve inside of the container, the dug soil wouldn’t
flow back.
Since it was made from steel, unless they didn’t apply too much force then
its edge shouldn’t break.
Although it wasn’t able to pulverize large bedrock, if it was just a seam of
a small stone, then it could crush the stone by exchanging the tip with a
special blade fitting.
「If you keep digging throughout
the day, I believe you will reach the brown sand layer where the poor quality
water gushed out, but don’t stop digging even when water comes out, but please
continue to dig until it reached the layer where good quality gushed out. But
if you hit the rock bed, stop digging and dig elsewhere.」(Kazura)
The wells in the city of Isteria, not only turned up water that containing
large amounts of iron content, which was called metallic water, but the amount
of water also varies depending on the season.
There should be a groundwater water vein where good quality water could gush
out more steadily in deeper depths, so the current hole digging work was to dig
into that underground water vein.
However, because there was a thick bedrock under the ground, the objective
was to find a place to reach the underground water vein without hitting the bedrock.
If they couldn’t find layer without a bedrock even after digging at many
places, then there was no other way but to use the prepared ultrahard steel
chisel to manually dig through the bedrock to secure the good quality water.
Since the existing wells had already reached the bedrock layer, he planned
to distribute the chisel to the craftsmen and conduct the bedrock digging work
in parallel.
Since it was currently a drought season, most of the well had dried out, so
this was a good timing to perform the bedrock drilling work.
If he uses the gasoline-engine rock breaker then it would the work would be
finished in the blink of an eye, but because the noise during the rock drilling
was too extensively loud and so conspicuous, he didn’t consider to use it inside
the city.
When Kazura and Zirconia observed that the craftsmen who began their work, they
moved to the next place with only the escort soldiers.
「Kazura-san, I apologize for losing
my composure the other day, also I am grateful for medicine and cosmetics.」(Zirconia)
Kazura walked alongside with Zirconia in the middle of the group, and then
Zirconia started talking to him in low voice.
Perhaps Zirconia had been waiting for Kazura’s reaction, she made an
apologetic downcast look.
「No, it was my actions that
caused the misunderstanding, I’m truly sorry for this. That…… ended up gave you
a frightening experience……」(Kazura)
「Ah, no! Since I misunderstanding
of my own accord, it’s not Kazura-san’s fault! Since I’ already alright, please
don’t be bothered with it too much.」(Zirconia)
Kazura apologized and so Zirconia hurriedly made a follow-up response.
「I am thankful…… Umm, did the
medicine I gave effective?」(Kazura)
「Yes, it was truly a wonderful
medicine. After drinking it, just one night passed and all of the tiredness in
my body had vanished. As one would expect from a medicine from the God’s Realm.」(Zirconia)
Zirconia answered with her usual gentle smile and Kazura felt relieved from
the bottom of his heart.
Although he had seen her cheerful figure at the breakfast, he didn’t have
the confidence that they could normally converse like this again.
But looking from her current state, it seemed that he didn’t need to worry
anymore.
「That’s good to hear. Are you
pleased with the cosmetics as well?」(Kazura)
「Yes, after I applied it, my
skin became so beautiful overnight, that I couldn’t recognize myself. It is
truly like a magic.」(Zirconia)
When he looked closely at Zirconia’s happy smiling face, certainly the skin
felt more firm and moist than before.
Perhaps because the effects of shampoo and conditioner also began to
appear, her hair also looked glossier and more beautiful than before.
「Since I still have some in
hand, please inform me when the cosmetics are about to be used up. Also, please
inform me immediately if your body felt unwell, since I'll give you that
medicine again.」(Kazura)
「Thank you very much. However, I
will be careful to not overdo myself in the future, so please don’t worry about
me. But, perhaps…… If you do not mind, I wish that you can share the medicine
with Nelson and Isaac as well. Surely, they should be more tired than me……」(Zirconia)
Timidly Zirconia came forward with a suggestion, the greedy atmosphere that
she had previously had completely disappeared.
Kazura didn’t know what is happening on her, but recently he really felt
that she held gratitude and attentiveness towards him.
This might be too meddling, but somehow after seeing how she was doing her
best with her own power, he ended wanted to help her.
「I understand, I’ll give it to
them after this.」(Kazura)
「Thank you very much. Since Nelson
doesn’t know the medicine’s effectiveness, surely he would be surprised.」(Zirconia)
Zirconia said this while smiling delightedly and Kazura smiled back and
then he asked the question that had been bothering him since last night.
「By the way, you have caught
three bandits who attacked Grisea Village before, right? Did you interrogate those
bandits?」(Kazura)
「Yes, when Kazura headed back
to the village, I interrogated them.」(Zirconia)
「So Zirconia-san personally interrogated
them…… What kind of thing had you heard from them?」(Kazura)
Kazura asked and Zirconia thought for a while as if to recall it before she
opened her mouth to reply.
「Etto, I heard about the details of the crime they had committed
so far. Since it matched the content of the other damages recorded in the
documents, it seemed that they had confessed honestly without lying.」(Zirconia)
「So they habitually attacked
people…… Did they told anything else?」(Kazura)
When Kazura continued to inquire, after a while, Zirconia made a sidelong
gaze at Kazura.
That gaze was trying to infer Kazura’s expression.
「About that…… they said that
the villagers of Grisea Village were strong like a monster……」(Zirconia)
「…… Like a monster?」(Kazura)
When Kazura murmured like this, Zirconia looked at Kazura’s face with a
panicked expression.
「Ah, no, it doesn’t mean that I
intend to treat the people in Grisea Village differently! As for the blessing
of strength, only Naruson who knows about it besides me…… Ah, Eira also knows
this….. Then I should have properly conveyed the content of the interrogation……
I apology for not saying anything……」(Zirconia)
「No, it's alright. Please don’t
mind it.」(Kazura)
While calming Zirconia who was ruefully apologizing, Kazura felt relieved.
He didn’t know how much had Zirconia aware of the villagers' strength, but
at least if she knew about it then she would like to utilize it.
From her words 『Blessing of Strengh』, perhaps she didn’t aware that the strength was gained from the continuous
consumption of the food.
He also thought that she would appeal to him to give them that strength too,
but there was no sign that she would do this at all.
She was nothing but modest and this was an unexpected response for Kazura.
「So where are those bandits now?
Are they being imprisoned in a gaol somewhere?」(Kazura)
「No, they were executed
immediately after the interrogation. Their heads were displayed on the South
Gate exit, but soon might be the right time to collect them.」(Zirconia)
「……」(Kazura)
「Because they had honestly
confessed about their past deed, I decided to punish with the least pain, …… ano, I wonder if I should have consulted
about the execution method too?」(Zirconia)
「N-no, it's alright. I see, so
they were decapitated……」(Kazura)
Although Kazura was at a loss for words from this sudden dreadful
information, he could understand that this was natural for this world.
Though he thought that the bandits weren’t given any trial if they were executed
immediately after interrogation, but there might be no need to try each and
every bandit.
While Kazura shuddered at this difference with his own world, he shifted
the topic of the conversation into a harmless and peaceful one.

Should be:
She experienced a similar phenomenon when taking a bath with the salt, but the effect of the cosmetics surpassed that by a wide margin.
Even though she had been surprised many times by the performance of the goods that were brought by Kazura, it was unexpected for her that he possessed drugs and cosmetics with an effect that seemed like magic.
thanks!!
