And then three days went by.
My magic armor arrived and I got busy assembling it.
It is fundamentally designed for close combat so I won't be able to really use it until the fort is infiltrated.
Magic consumption is also large and I can only go one battle inside of it, so I will fight without wearing it for now.
I must not forget that there is a possibility that I will have to fight one of the 7 major powers.
After I completed the assembly of the magic armor, I participated in reinforcing the fort with Zanoba.
I block openings and strengthen walls.
If only to this degree, consumption of magic is insignificant so there isn't a problem.
While I was doing that, Roxy was teaching magic to some of the soldiers in the fort.
She wasn't only teaching magic to the soldiers, but also the rank and file.
In a pinch, having the use of elementary magic could be the difference between life and death.
Within the fort Roxy was popular, but I found myself being avoided.
They aren't hostile toward me.
In short, they are afraid.
This seems to have happened because I rearranged the battled field in one day.
Soldiers in front of me get out of my way in a hurry, and if I ask for something then it will be answered with a polite and respectful tone.
On the other hand, the soldiers do not approach me to talk.
I'm a little alienated.
Even though Roxy and Zanoba are already being accepted by the soldiers...
Could it be a difference in communication skills?
If I went and spoke with them more, would it be good I wonder?
No no, I didn't come here to make friends. I'll be fine.
The soldiers are cold and distant towards me, but there is rice.
This is because the Kingdom of Dragon King is backing this war.
They may not have sent reinforcements, but they have sent supplies.
In particular, they have sent food.
Sanachia rice is eaten on a daily basis in the Kingdom of Dragon King.
It is also eaten in the Shirone kingdom.
As such it has become a staple in this fort.
The taste is a little different from the rice that Aisha is breeding back home.
Aisha has been diligently attempting many different things to meet my preference.
When it comes to taste, I prefer Aisha's rice.
But originally it's the same rice.
If I can eat this rice every day then I am fine becoming a soldier of the Shirone kingdom.
While thinking that, I feel a moment of bliss.
However, I'll pass on the idea of working under Pax.
Then on the fourth day:
From an allied scout, we were told that the enemy troops have departed for the front.
