Logistics Unit’s Simple Heavy Labor

Through some kind of trick, the Kingdom of Harpelia seemed to have detected the Holy Kingdom of Sunglaire’s invasion quite early. There’s a high possibility they had spies infiltrated.

Thanks to that, a considerable amount of military supplies had already been accumulated at the transit point of Basin.

Bows and arrows, throwing spears, swords, armor… There might be variations in the years they were made, but they were properly organized by specifications.

They must have gradually stockpiled them in secret so Sunglaire wouldn’t notice.

Our job was to load this huge cargo onto wagons in … Read the rest

The Logistics Corps’ Preliminary Battle

The escort mission ended without incident, and we returned to Legol.

Magic-user parties are grateful because they can prepare water, fire, and light immediately. It was a good expedition with no inconveniences. Having this kind of experience makes me want to learn magic again. But practice is troublesome. I’ll pass after all.

During the journey, I talked a lot with Vandale and came to understand his character somewhat.

Vandale apparently served in the military when he was young as a Sunglaire engineer—or rather, as a maintenance soldier for staff-type weapons. Then he was captured by … Read the rest

Rus Village’s Precious Protein

When we arrived at Rus Village, the villagers welcomed us rather matter-of-factly.

“Oh, you came. Well then, thanks in advance.”

That kind of feeling. Business-like, or like it was only natural for us to come.

Well, but it’s usually like this. Guild members are mostly rough types, and when they do come, it often leads to trouble. For the villagers, regular army patrols must be much more reassuring.

Still, the arrival of a party composed entirely of mages was apparently unexpected, as the village chief who came to greet us as a representative seemed a bit … Read the rest

Remnants of the attack

Summer ends, and the chilly season approaches. It’s September.

This busy period of wheat harvest and planting is also when beast hunting begins in earnest. It smells so good…

This year I’ve been hunting forest meat at a steady pace even before now, but even this still isn’t enough. No matter how much meat we send to the battlefield, it’s never a problem. When you’ve got a bunch of people doing nothing but fighting without producing anything, the waste really is intense.

I feel like if we just had chemical fertilizer, the food problem would be … Read the rest

Preserved Food Standing Requests

Summer is coming to an end.

When autumn comes, it’ll be the familiar busy harvest season every year. And… this year, there’s probably going to be war. The atmosphere is thick with that possibility.

War seasons are generally predetermined, and the major one is after the autumn harvest.

In Halperia, they harvest wheat. In Sunglaire, they harvest sunflowers, and then they start their fighting after finishing with those. Both are grains that are actively consumed in their respective countries.

You might think “harvesting sunflowers, what the heck is that?” I couldn’t really picture it at first … Read the rest

The Blessed Dog Whistle

That day, there was an unusual person at the guild.

I’d met him face to face several times, and we’d had work-related conversations occasionally. That kind of person.

Since he rarely showed his face, his presence was inevitably thin. However, he was undoubtedly the person with the highest position in this guild.

His muscular, large frame was adorned in the finest clothes in the guild.

The wrinkles between his brows were deep, and he had a face that always seemed angry about something.

That man, who perfectly embodied the image of a difficult, important person, was … Read the rest

The Meat of the Lowly

“Raina… I’m going on a mission. A harsh… very harsh mission.”

“Yeah.”

“So tonight… if I can return… may I come to your place, Raina?”

“Yeah Yeah.”

“Thank you, Raina… now I have no regrets left.”

Raina is staring at me with dead fish eyes.

“Why does Mongrel-senpai start talking like that just from taking a bath?”

Yes, after today’s mission ends, I was planning to use my second bath usage right at Artemis.

I heard that Nastasha will be at the clan house all day today. Then it would be a chance to have … Read the rest

Brute Force Mock Battle

“It’s war, damn it~!”

When I came to the guild, Chuck was making some kind of noise.

Not limited to summer, he occasionally makes these kinds of sounds. Let’s ignore him.

“Mongrel! I’m talking about you, you bastard~!”

“Ah, me? What is it all of a sudden. I’m about to report on city cleaning right now.”

“Oh oh, acting like such a good boy~! Then I’ll wait until you finish your damn report quickly…!”

“Oh, you’ll wait for me. Sorry, I don’t know what your business is though.”

Well, I know it’s probably some stupid talk … Read the rest

Suspicious Sunlight

“Grim Reaper” Gustav’s perspective

“Monarch, this is good.”

Entering the noble district of Legol, I stop in front of the count’s mansion.

My beloved horse Monarch exhales loudly through his large nostrils and lowers his head reluctantly.

Even for a carefully selected war horse, perhaps I overworked him a bit.

Though it was necessary, a long ride carrying me in full equipment might have been somewhat reckless.

“You worked quite hard this time. Rest well in His Lordship the Count’s stable.”

“Brrrr.”

“Don’t be stubborn… Rest up. Understood?”

I pat Monarch’s face and head into the count’s mansion.… Read the rest

The Old Guys on Their Day Off

After returning to Legol, I was immediately caught up in a flurry of activity, but afterwards I went back to the inn and slept soundly. Long journeys are mentally exhausting, you know.

However, it was good entertainment. I felt refreshed, or rather, I enjoyed myself to the fullest. Escort work is sluggish and bothersome, but going on excursions while fishing isn’t bad either.

“Hey Momo, I’ve done that data collection you asked for. And here, I’m returning the flippers.”

“Mongrel! You did the job! Well done!”

“Of course I did it, I’m a … Read the rest
