"It's been a long time, Mr. Ars. I'm home.

"It's been a long time, Leon. I'm glad you're back safe and sound. Thank you for all your work in the Royal Capital Region. You have been a great help to Fontana.

"I am glad to hear you say so. I am glad to hear you say so. It means that all the shame I have lived through, not being able to protect Carlos, has been worth it.

"I'm not ashamed of you. Without Leon, the Fontana would not have lasted very long. It is because of Leon's solitary efforts away from the territory that Fontana is what it is today. Thank you."

"No, ......, thank you, Mr. Ars. I, Leon von Graham, hereby pledge to continue to work hard for the Fontana family."

"Best regards. The late Mr. Carlos will be pleased. I hope you'll meet Mr. Garrod.

Yes. You are in Vulcania now?　...... and I was told that your sister was pregnant as well."

"That's right, Leon. In a little while, Lilina will be due. If you can spare the time, you're welcome to hold my child in your arms.

"Yes. Yes, please let me do that.

　The council meeting to create the Fontana Charter, which had been ongoing since the beginning of the New Year, came to a close.

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

　The Fontana Charter, which clearly states the existing customs and establishes new rules, will continue to be discussed and improved by the Council and other groups in the future.

　However, it was decided to take a break once the winter was over and the snow had begun to melt.

　And shortly after that, Leon returned to the city of Fontana.

　Rion has been working outside of Fontana since he and Carlos left Fontana with the King's escort.

　There must be various risks involved in leaving one's own territory.

　However, in spite of that, he has done various tasks such as concluding the North-South alliance with the Risortes, making connections in the royal capital area, and denouncing the Percival family.

　If one were to ask who has worked the hardest for Fontana in the last few years, it would certainly be none other than Rion.

　We have decided to reward Leon with an addition to the Graham estate.

　One of the reasons for Leon's return to Fontana was the pregnancy of Lilina.

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

　For Rion, whose parents have already passed away, the pregnancy and birth of his own sister, Lilina, is a big event.

　He came back to Fontana at the right time because he had a good omen that it was time for her to return.

　First of all, we welcome Rion as the acting head of the family in the city of Fontana.

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

　Then we decided to go together from Fontana to Vulcania.

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

　We walked together while discussing recent events.

"By the way, how is Leon's wife?　I thought you were married to someone related to the Resolute family."

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

Yes, sir. My wife is now living with her parents in the Risorte territory.

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

"I see. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that Rion had to marry someone from such a faraway land even though it was for the sake of the Confederation.

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

"No, it's all right, Mr. Ars. If need be, I'll marry anyone. That's what it means to live as a knight.

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

"...... Really?　I think there are a lot of relatively free people."

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

"I'm troubled to hear someone as free as you, Mr. Ars, say so. However, a member of a knight's family usually marries a partner regardless of his own will. In my case, I was related to the Risolute family. I love my wife as much as anyone else.

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

"Well, Lilina and I came to an agreement on marriage as soon as we met. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be.

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

"I'm sure that's the way it is. But more importantly, Fontana's mood has changed a lot. It seems that a lot of things have changed while I was away.

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

"Yes, it is. While Leon was away from Fontana, they cut off the southern part of Carmathia, they built a railroad track, and the town of Fontana has a new castle and a new church under construction. I guess you could say that a lot has changed."

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

"That's not all. I know this because I have seen many other places. I think there are many smiling faces in the Fontana now."

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

"Smiles?"

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

Yes. In other places, the faces of the people living there were often shadowed. They are not able to eat well, and in addition, there is a long war going on. Many people are so exhausted that they despair of living.

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

"Is despair that bad? ......"

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

"Well, I guess that's why people think of fighting to get food and other things. That is what prolongs the war and makes it endless. But this is not the case in Fontana. Many people have escaped from hunger and are leading a vibrant life. That's why the smiles come naturally.

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

"I see. Well, the yield of the land is rising steadily. Last year we had a tax cut because of the earthquake, and we have enough food to keep the price of wheat relatively low.

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

"It's also amazing how we've been able to control the effects of that earthquake. Some of the nobles' estates under the influence of the Percival family were also affected by the earthquake. The Fontana family was also affected by the earthquake, but the fact that they were able to minimize the effects of the earthquake is due to the excellent actions of Ars-sama, who moved immediately.

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

"The first response to an earthquake is very important. In the Fontana Charter, I wrote about how to respond to disasters such as earthquakes. Check it out later.

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

"The Fontana Charter is also very impressive. Normally, we don't make text that includes restrictions on the nobility. ......"

"Well, I am not only the acting head of the family, but also the head of the Barca Knight's Domain. I think we've struck a good balance with the Fontana Charter. Well, here we are, Leon. It's just down here."

　Rion, who had been traveling from place to place and had gained a lot of experience, was talking about his opinion like a local who finally settled on his opinion that his hometown was the best.

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

　I guess each place has its own good points, but I guess Rion is right that the Fontana territory is definitely better than the others.

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

　And I am glad that he appreciates what I have done.

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

　Listening to Rion's story, I came to the transporter room that I built in the basement of the city of Fontana.

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

　In addition to the knights of Barca, people of the Reed family are protecting the room from the inside with [guardian plants].

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

　I enter the transfer room with Rion and instruct him to move to the transfer room in Vulcania.

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

　The transporter stone can move to another transporter stone far away in an instant by consuming a large amount of magical power.

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

　He decides to use it to jump to Vulcania with Leon.

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

　Incidentally, it is impossible for Leon to jump to the transporter stone in Vulcania if he has never touched it.

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

　But with me by his side, it became possible.

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

　Rion touches the newly created transporter stone in the town of Fontana, and after I transfer to Vulcania with the transporter stone in my hand, the transporter stone that Rion touched is set up again.

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

　Then Rion jumps there.

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

　I had already given Rion the Vulcanian enhancement technique, and Rion had gained the power of the head of the family.

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

　As a result, Rion also succeeded in moving to Vulcania in an instant.

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

　Incidentally, to avoid complications, the newly installed transporter stone was destroyed when Rion jumped to Vulcania, making it unusable.

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

"...... What can I say, you're still as amazing as ever, Mr. Ars. I didn't think they made something like this."

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

"Handy, isn't it?　For the time being, the use of the transfer stone is permitted up to the level of the head of the family who has joined the council, so if you want to use it, please ask for permission. However, you can't go to the King's City area or the Resolute territory, though.

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

"Is that too much to ask? But it's still more than enough.

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

　Even Leon seemed surprised about this transfer stone.

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

　After all, I guess such a transporter is not available in other places.

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

　Thus, I returned to Vulcania with Rion.

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

　And on the very same day, Lilina gave birth to my child.
