The dried at my father had ordered had entered Alice and Alyssa’s storage magic box. With their ability to master the storage magic box properly, it will put the dried at my father ordered into a safe place.
The magic chant perford by Alice and Alyssa made the cold basent room seem spacious after the dried at, piled high to the top, was placed into their magic storage box.
"Alice..."
"Alyssa..."
"You girls did a great job," I said, giving Alice and Alyssa a few complints in this cold basent.
Caress...
Caress...
After the dried at stored in the basent disappeared into Alice and Alyssa’s magic storage box, I stroked their hair as a reward for their hard work.
Even though I could put the dried at into my magic storage box, it would be better if a magical genius stepped in, on this matter.
I want to do things related to magical abilities, but I feel that my ability to control magic should be kept well before the military expedition is carried out.
As much as possible, I want to restrain myself from using my magical abilities.
My caress of Alice and Alyssa’s hair ended quickly, so we started walking upstairs.
As I walked towards the upper floor, which was connected to the ground floor of the restaurant, I could see so dried at which had been wrapped well and in large quantities.
It makes wonder about this dried at.
Judging by the sheer quantity, it wasn’t at that would be consud and finished anyti soon.
"You all prepared for this well, huh, even though the town you live in has beco a ghost town that looks uninhabited," said Alyssa with her gaze fixed on the pile of dried at that I was also looking at.
It seed that Alyssa realized sothing and said sothing like that.
"Yes, we are doing sothing to survive during the war season between the nobles, Alyssa-sama," Helena replied with her eyes fixed on the wild boar at that was still wet and not yet completely dry.
"I’m sorry to put you in such a vulnerable and tense situation," Alyssa said as if she understood what the people who chose to survive inside Marquess Roml’s territory were preparing for.
"About that... Alyssa-sama should not worry too much about this. We have received a notification letter from Marquess Roml to evacuate to a safe place or gather at a safe refuge point before Marquess Roml’s Main Knight Division moves towards a strategic defense points."
"Is that so? Is the Adventurer’s Guild also involved in this?"
"Yes, we were a little involved in the process of build a basent that looked like a at storage basent, but was ford as a basent used as a temporary residence. If I’m not mistaken... it was called... Uuhh—" Helena seed confused by the words she wanted to say.
Helena’s paused words made Alice and Alyssa curious.
Tap...
Tap...
I understood the words Helena wanted to say and tried to help her, "Bunker..."
With my gentle words, I tried to give Helena a hint about the words that were hard for her to rember.
"Yes, Bunker! That’s it! You seem to have figured this one out, Lily-sama," Helena said to complete the words she found difficult to say.
"I only have a rough understanding of the plan and designed the blueprint without overseeing the actual construction process. Is it working properly?" I asked Helena, who seed to know about Marquess Roml’s secret plan, in case sothing bad happened to one of the towns within Marquess Roml’s territory.
The plan to build this Bunker was once expressed by my father, who was worried about a town in the borders enemy territory or a forest that is still actively inhabited by wild monsters.
One of the magic books written by a Great Hero once ntioned his understanding of an underground building that was similar to a basent, but was used as a temporary shelter by civilians who received ergency warnings of air raids.
I, who didn’t know what the Great Hero had written, asked my Goddess and got a new term called Bunker.
Thanks to my Goddess’s convoluted and difficult-to-understand explanations, I designed an underground building deep enough to house several townspeople in the event of a bandit attack or a wild monster invasion.
"Yes, it has been completed under the Main Church of this town. Whether it is a coincidence or not, Princess Anastasia and the Saintess nad Myoko Hana helped build the Bunker that is located under the Main Church of this town," said Helena, which made feel confused by the big changes that have happened to this town.
After the Marquess Roml family went on vacation and returned unprepared for a traditional warti royal event, I was surprised by the massive developnt of the plans my father had drawn up during the family vacation.
I didn’t know my father would be this great.
Will I be able to do sothing big like this in the future?
Making a solid plan when an uncertain future occurs?
It seems like I still have a lot to learn as a Matriarch who will replace my father in the future.
"Phew... this is really beyond my expectations," I grumbled as I stepped the stairs leading to the ground floor of the restaurant.
When I was on the ground floor of the restaurant and ca out of a room connected to the basent entrance, I saw the figure of a strange woman I knew.
Without hiding her face and sitting casually at one of the restaurant tables, she seed to glance at to say a word silently.
The movent of her lips seed to say, "Leave it to to protect this place from those fools who try to attack from the shadows, Lily-sama."
Nod...
I know that I cannot protect this place without the help of others, and I feel grateful when there is help given directly to .
Right beside the girl, I could see several other girls who seed to have abilities not much different from hers.
A group of high-ranking adventurers is guarding the town from a secret attack by the opposition noble faction and the noble faction that supports the royal family, or more precisely, the figures that support the forr Crown Prince.
The old woman and the young man had returned to the cashier’s desk to serve so custors who had been waiting at the dining table.
Before the young man left to give the nu, I stopped him to give sothing to a group of high-ranking parties sent directly by Duchess Kaori.
"Wait a minute," I said to the young man as I opened my magic storage box to take out so ergency food that I had bought from the Yurification Shop.
Pluk...
Plok...
Plop...
Pam...
I also took out so canned food that is used as ergency food that can keep soone full for a day.
"I want to do a food promotion for them, is that okay?" I asked the young man and the old woman in front of for permission.
I know that my actions will look impolite when I offer my food to a restaurant that also sells food.
Several piles of canned food were on the cashier’s desk, making the old woman and the young man curious.
"Lily-sama, is this the ergency food you provided when Marquess Roml’s territory was attacked by a rare monster called the Golden King Bear?" Helena asked as she picked up one of the cans containing the heavy food.
"Yes, this is the food I once gave to the adventurers who joined the Golden King Bear hunting operation," I replied to Helena’s question.
"Ah, so this is the food that those visiting adventurers often complain about."
"Um, is there a problem with canned food like this, Helena?"
"You know, Lily-sama. So adventurers from the Royal Capital who co to this Adventurer’s Guild building often ask about the availability of this food and leave disappointed because this food is only used by Marquess Roml’s knights, right?" Helena said, asking another question.
"Not really, this is just ergency food that is not for sale, even to the Knight Marquess Roml himself."
"Eh? Didn’t Lily-sama say that she wanted to promote this food to them?" Helena’s gaze suddenly shifted to a group of adventurer parties who were sitting, waiting patiently.
"Yes, this is the perfect food promotion to repay the loyalty of those who entrusted their lives to Marquess Roml’s leadership," I replied with a snap of my fingers.
Snap...
Crack...
Crack...
When I snapped my fingers, a magic circle connected to my magic storage box opened and revealed a pile of ergency food stored in cans neatly arranged on the cashier’s desk of this restaurant.
The pile of ergency food with various flavors surprised Helena.
"L-Lily-sama, isn’t this..." Helenan’s surprise made Alice, Alyssa, and Nimi laugh when they saw the pile of canned food in front of her.
The old woman and the young man were also surprised by the pile of canned food I had.
Besides the pile of canned food, I also took out so ergency cooking equipnt ready for use at any ti.
"Unlike the ergency canned food used by the adventurers participating in the Golden King Bear hunting operation, this one has several improvents in quality and taste. While previously a person wouldn’t feel hungry for half a day, this one will make a person not feel hungry for the next day. Isn’t that perfect for the current ergency, Helena?" I said while explaining sothing to Helena and making myself look like a chatty noblewoman.
Tap...
Tap...
While I was explaining sothing to Helena, I could hear the sound of footsteps approaching .
"Please forgive my insolence in being curious about this. Is what you said true?" asked the woman who had attacked with a sharp arrow earlier that morning.
"Yes, that’s right. Would you like to try so ergency food that’s exclusively available in Marquess Roml’s territory, which is facing so many problems like this?" I replied with a friendly smile.
The arrival of the girl who approached made Alice and Alyssa imdiately hug my arm as if to protect from not doing sothing to the girl in front of .
Helena, who saw this, just chuckled, and Nimi looked confused about what was happening.
