"This is so cool. It's so warm, Alus."

"H-h-h-h. You should be thanking me, Bite-brother. This new down jacket can only be made in Barca so far. The raw materials for the down jackets are only available in Barca.

"Oh, I didn't know they didn't have them in the city either. I don't know how you can make such a thing so easily. I was surprised at a sweater made from goat's hair.

"It's really hard in the winter. To tell you the truth, I'd rather live in a place where the temperature is constant all year round.

No, that's impossible. That's not possible in reality. You're still thinking like a dream.

　The duvet I made for Lilina.

　And now I made a down jacket out of the same beast hair that I used for the duvet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The result is a very thick and fuzzy down jacket, and as expected, it is quite warm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now I am giving one of these jackets to my part-time brother to try on and ask him what he thinks of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At first, he was a little bit surprised to see that the down jacket was too big and fuzzy, but when he actually tried it on, he understood how good it was.

　However, you may understand that the warmth is good, but the appearance is not so fashionable.

　It kind of makes me look fat.

　Maybe you should consult with a craftsman to see if you can make a more fashionable design.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While I was thinking about the design of the clothes, I remembered another kind of clothes.

　It is a kind of coat worn in winter, and even though it was used for military purposes, it was designed to be worn as a fashion item in later generations.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It reminded me vaguely of a trench coat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How about making a knee-length long trench coat by Dressolina?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　By attaching a belt or something to tighten the waist part of the coat, it would be possible for people of various body types to wear it, and it would be cool if it is worn by the military in a more uniform way.

　Dressolina was created to help people move around after the earthquake, but at this point, we are only making T-shirt-like clothes that are not that difficult to make.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is because the newcomers to the new town, who started from scratch, are being given jobs as seamstresses, so they are still making clothes with simple structures.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Most of the clothes made in Dresslina will be used by the Fontana Army, and we have received feedback on how to make them as durable as possible.

　But I thought it was time to move on to the next step.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With this in mind, I immediately started to draw up an image of a trench coat on paper and asked the craftsmen to take a look.

"As usual, Ars. Basically, you're always trying to make something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Maybe so. Well, it's half a hobby of mine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Or better yet, why don't you play with your sword for a minute? I need some exercise."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... can't say much about me, or my brother Bite. He wants to fight in his spare time."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course you do. You never know when the next battle will break out. You have to train hard on a regular basis.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, you just don't get enough action."

　As I was quickly drawing a design for an outfit on a piece of paper, my part-time brother was looking at it and interrupting me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I feel nostalgic about this exchange.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Whenever I was working in the field, he used to jump into a fight or even try to fight with me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It has been a long time since I have received such an invitation, and I feel nostalgic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wondered when was the last time I had felt this way, and it was obviously since my brother Byte had gained independence with the territory of the Baltic Knights.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since he had a territory far away from both Vulcania and the city of Fontana, we had less and less time to see each other.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even when I visited him in Balkania on occasion, he had to take care of his work and other business.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So it has been a long time since I have received an invitation for training when I have a little extra time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, it may happen again often in the future.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason why Byte is here in Fontana is to celebrate the coming New Year's celebration.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But until last year, he would have returned to his own territory as soon as the new year came, but from now on, that will no longer be the case.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This will no longer be the case, since it is already possible to come and go from Baltonia in an instant by means of a transfer stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, I will have more opportunities to work with my brother Bite in the city of Fontana as before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thanks to the transporter stone, the family bond will be strengthened.

"By the way, I've been meaning to ask you, Ars, isn't that holy sword of yours supposed to be dedicated to the church?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm?　Oh, this one. It's already dedicated. I'm just using a sword that was once dedicated to the church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Huh?　Can you do that?　Because, you asked the three noble alliances to discuss the matter, and you offered them the holy sword as a reward. If that's the case, then isn't the holy sword supposed to be delivered to the church headquarters?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha-ha. I promised the archbishop that I would dedicate the sword to the church if we succeeded in holding a meeting between the three noble alliances. I'm keeping it to the letter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After instructing the craftsman to send the trench coat design, he and his part-time brother go out into the cold weather and begin to work out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At that time, Baito asked me about the holy sword I was holding in my hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sword was to be dedicated to the church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I went off to the battlefield with it in my hand, and now I still have it in my possession.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What is the meaning of this?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The answer is quite simple.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I delivered the sword to the church as I promised the archbishop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I did not deliver the sword to the archbishop who asked me to do the job, but to another archbishop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Who was it, then, Archbishop Paul, who was newly promoted to the rank of archbishop this year and was even canonized as a saint?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Archbishop Paul, who received the Holy Sword, however, entrusted its safekeeping to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because the new church building for Archbishop Paul is still under construction, it is not suitable to keep the sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, where is the safest place to keep them?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I still have the holy sword in my possession.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I took advantage of the fact that although I said that I would dedicate the sword to the church, I did not specify where the sword would be kept or who would receive the dedication.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　According to the main story, the sword should be given to the archbishop who requested the meeting, but no one thought that a new archbishop would be born in the Fontana territory after that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, an archbishop is a very senior figure in the Church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would not be surprising if Archbishop Paul was the one to whom the sword was dedicated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, we will have the second and the third Zanteiken in a little while.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Archbishop Paul performs a purification ceremony on them, it is not a dream to create a new holy sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we deliver the second and the third swords to the church, they will stop complaining about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, I had arranged with Archbishop Paul that I could legally bring the holy sword to the battlefield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... You really haven't changed, have you? You and Paul are both the same.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When my brother Byte heard my explanation, he was aghast, as if to say, "Oh, dear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that's normal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Anyone would have done something like this if they knew someone of such high status nearby.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's not my fault.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Saying such things, I was sweating while engaging in a mock battle with my brother Bite for the first time in a while.
