(ix) is the southern knightly country.
The green circle on the road is the capital city of Donetsk
The yellow circle to the left of the capital is Manya's hometown
The red circle at the crossroads on the left is Kishina.

　After that, I left Kishina and entered the Southern Knights country without incident, but....　

　A government official overreacts to the false title of historian. [A scholar comes to the countryside! And then there was such a fuss that they flew a gryphon message to the inn towns along the road to welcome the scholars for free.

　Why did they make such a big fuss about it?　When I was troubled, Manya's hometown seemed to be this country, and she explained the situation in detail.

　The Southern Knights Country is the far east in Ares. The military strength of the Knights and the rich southern granary of black soil are their strengths, but they seem to be backward and complex in technology and culture.

　Because of such a national character, when scholars and excellent technicians come to the country, the whole nation welcomes them, and the accommodation is said to be free of charge voluntarily.

　I'd be delighted to see them for free if it were me, but when they are genuinely welcoming and in fact are fake historians, my conscience is aching and my heart is not likely to bear it.

　I'm the type of person who cares that the service is good, comfortable, privately owned and operated, and in those places, even the credit card payment is a burden to the store with fees.

　So I'd die of guilt if I had to spend a lot of money for free. So, I'm avoiding the roads that I've heard about and taking the long way around the country in an armored car.

　In addition, the two people who were newly approved for regular employment were given a goddess supply.

　A [9mm Chris Vector/Submachine Gun Modification] is provided for Hasty.
(Made of wonder material, light weight, 18.6 inch barrel, 7N31 rounds compatible (PDW, armor piercing high pressure rounds).

　This gun has very good muzzle lift control and shock absorption, and the grip is small and improved, making it suitable for small hastiness. It has been modified with a long barrel for increased power and accuracy. Local armor-piercing rounds are also available, making it easy to refuel.

　It seems that the development of the Pina's armament has been difficult. Well, we don't have the hands, so we can't use existing weapons. Therefore, since it will be designed from the first model, it cannot be helped. For now, to make flying easier, a contract wind spirit has been dispatched to make it easier.

(Senior Wind Spirit Nynrir: too high in rank and insufficient in magic power for Pina, so it's only a contract. (Countermeasures under consideration)
(Officially signed with a wind spirit who was close to Pina: Gale, propulsion up; Wahl, turning power up)

　Such is the case with this trip to the country.
　But the biggest problem at the moment is that there is nothing in the country.

"I could have stayed here for free, but I don't like sleeping in a bunk bed, it's too cramped for me.

　I slept in the driver's seat as Hasty increased, and the rest of us were in three bunk beds. The Pina's Nest is now fixed inside the armored car and it's all crowded.

'They say there's nothing scarier than free stuff in my home town. Ah, scary, scary, scary.

　Well, nothing is more expensive than free, exactly, but let's make it a cultural issue and get away from it.

Mister, this country's lodgings are only as good as the results of being chosen by foreign scholars. It's worth much more than the price.　On the other hand, if you don't stay, it means there's no place in the country that can be called an inn.

　After all, this is the birthplace where Manya's parents lived and worked.
　That's why they are upset because it's an act that will ruin the reputation of their hometown.
　I have to come up with some excuse soon!　It's pretty scary in a fight!

A ninja has the luxury of having a place to sleep. My lord, we are happy to have your consideration.

　This cute, innocent, child-faced, otherworldly ninja, actually the most dangerous daughter of the group, don't let her looks fool you. She's a genuine assassin who can turn a town into a sea of fire with her multiple flying spears (black gunpowder rockets) and silently turn around behind her and cut her head off unnoticed.

''Ladies and gentlemen, Ryota-sama's decision is not wrong. Since this is a state's touch, you will owe me a debt, and I should refrain from doing so before negotiating.

　Although they are a group of spirits who don't need a bunk, Window Flower's voice is the best in the group. She silences Midia and Manya's complaints with a pizzazz.

　Yukikaze and Mogu have given up their right to speak. Pina doesn't speak, but she seems comfortable building a nest near the air conditioner blower.

　For now, the innkeepers have been defeated, both by majority vote and by voice. However, that doesn't mean the frustration is gone. I'll need to relieve stress soon, but I wonder if there's a better way to do it.

'Anya, do you mind if I visit my parents' house?　Now, I'm a historian and Anya is an excavator, a common combination for a business associate, right?　I wouldn't be surprised if you visited them to say hello, and if you were headed to your buddy's parents' house, wouldn't that be a good reason not to stay at the inn?

　This should save face at the inn back home.

You mean he's coming to my parents' house?　Oh, oh!　Then there's no problem at all!　I'd rather you stay for a few days than just to say hello, I think my dad and mom will be happy to see you. It'll give our house a lot of foil!

　I succeeded in resolving Anya's complaints.

　Next up is Midia, but this one is not happy with the small sleeping area. I suggested that she give up the driver's seat and I would sleep in a hammock in the aisle... but she starts claiming the right to take over for her father. We managed to negotiate and agreed on a way to share the seat with the divider (wooden this time with a strong wooden one).

　But long distance travel in a land with no infrastructure, and other problems start to arise.

　Up until now, it's been a non-stop trip, stopping at Norarikula and a suitable town to get a place to stay. So there was little to no hassle in securing daily necessities and food. But now it's completely outdoors and everyone's burden is increasing.

　We're taking turns doing housework, but since we decided to stop by my parents' house, Anya has been actively trying to take over the housework.

　That's why I feel like I'm drifting off and people are looking at me like I'm crazy.

Case Study 1
'Your husband's busy with gun maintenance and making springs, right?　I'll do your laundry.
'It was overhaul day!　Thank you, don't take over when Anya is on duty.

Example 2
Pina wants to do a little sailing.　I'll do the cooking, so go ahead.
'Oh, well, I haven't had a pinna raise lately I'm sorry, but please.

Case 3
Mister, there's not enough slime in the house, have you been feeding it enough?　I'll take over the mending of the battle suit for you, and you can go see it quickly.

What!　Ska-chan's 52nd birthday is going to be a disaster.　Shit, we've got to hurry up and gather food!　Sorry, nice to meet you!

　And so on and so forth, and the duty system has become a complete skeleton.

　 And I'm in danger of losing my ability to support myself as well. Worst of all, I'm starting to feel like I'm losing my patience with Anya.

　I'm corruptible to begin with.
　Anya's kindness is a poisonous substance that erodes my ability to fend for myself.

　It's a very critical situation. I'm confident that if I don't, I'll be ruined and irredeemable in a few weeks!　In these cases, it's best to talk to Window Flowers!

　If you have little self-control, let the window flowers manage it for you. Wahoo!
