"Yo, are you okay, Kristina?"

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

"Yes. That was really something, though. I heard there was gonna be a big storm, but I didn't know it was gonna be that big. I couldn't sleep at all because I was afraid of the noise outside."

"Me too."

　The storm has passed.

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

　Overnight has already passed, and it is noon the next day.

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

　It was raining now, but it was getting lighter and the strong winds had calmed down.

　Kristina came to my house.

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

　It seems that she was not injured in any way.

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

　She just said she was scared many times.

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

　I welcomed her and we had lunch together as she was just ready.

　She seemed to be relieved to have a hot meal with Galius and others who had stayed at my house.

"I haven't left this house yet today, how was it in the city?"

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

"It was amazing. I saw things everywhere, things that I don't know where they came from, shards of glass and broken trees. I guess we'll have to work on the recovery for a while.

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

"Oh, I saw that too, that I did. Yesterday, on the way to this house, a tree was snapped by the strong wind, that I saw. I was surprised that a tree could break like that, that I was not.

"Did Mr. Galius come all the way here in that big storm yesterday?　That's a dangerous thing to do."

Marlon was here, that he was. Besides, once I got here, I felt safer here than in my own house.

"That's true, too. But you might want to go home. Windows and such may be broken, and I recommend you to check them.

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

"Hmm, you may be right. I understand, that I do. I will go back to see what is going on, that I will.

　It seems that the situation outside is quite difficult.

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

　I mean, there are broken windows here, too.

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

　We may have to do some cleanup work for a while.

"But it's going to be hard from now on, Mr. Alphonse..."

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

"Hmm?　What?"

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

"What's that?" "It's a mutual aid society. You know, where believers help each other?　I'm sure they'll be getting requests from all kinds of people about this big storm."

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

"That reminds me. Everyone's been affected this time. There may be more people who will send out requests than those who will take on the work. Maybe we should make sure that we can dispatch mercenaries efficiently."

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

"I think we should. I also think we should send people to the village as soon as possible.

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

"In the village?　It seems to me that the number of requests would be more likely to come from the more populated towns, right?"

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

"Of course, if we compare the numbers, there will be more requests for help from cities such as New Barca and the Orient. But this time it's a different story. We are trading rice futures with the villagers."

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

"Does that mean we need to check on the rice situation?"

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

"But first, we need to confirm the safety of the farmers, don't you think?　I think we need to make sure that the people we traded with are still alive."

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

　I see.

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

　Kristina gave her opinion like a merchant.

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

　Even in an emergency situation like this, it seems that business is always at the forefront of her mind.

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

　In anticipation of the rice crop failure caused by the recent storm, each village had been trading rice futures.

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

　However, they did not consider whether their trading partners were safe or not.

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

　Yesterday, the sound of the wind and the rain alone was terrible.

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

　Maybe the villages far from this town might have suffered more damage from the flooding of the river.

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

　If so, it would be better to send mercenaries to the villages and let the believers in the town help each other as much as possible.

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

　The range of mutual help is different between a town and a village where the number of inhabitants is different.

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

　Once that is decided, we should move as soon as possible.

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

　I gather those who can move from the new Barca town and go to check on the village.

"Listen, you two. Each of you will have an eye. You'll follow the Eye's instructions when you get there."

"Yes, Commander Alphonse. You can find people in distress, can't you, Mr. Ai?

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

Yes, Zen. The only person I know is the one who wears the bracelet of this grimoire. There are followers of the Barka Church in the villages we are going to visit, so as long as they are wearing the bracelets, we should be able to find them even if they are swept away by the water.

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

"But what are you going to do if you find him, Commander?　I don't know what the village looks like, but it looks like the houses have been damaged."

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

"In the meantime, save as many lives as you can, Walter. Just get us out of the wind and rain for now. Worst case, we can shelter them in the fortress-like church in the village. And I'm willing to give you a little rice afterwards."

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

"A soup kitchen. That's a good idea. I'm sure the storm victims will be happy. Okay. All right, Walter's squad, let's get going.

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

"I'm going with you, Commander Alphonse. Let's go, Zen Squad.

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

"Please. But be careful. But be careful... so that the mercenaries you go to help don't get hurt.

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

　And in times like these, you need the strength of an organization.

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

　I decided to send out several squads from the Barka Mercenaries to rescue the village.

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

　Ai is among them.

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

　Normally, Ai works mostly in my house, but on this particular occasion, I loaned him out to help me find people.

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

　Thus, the day after the great storm that hit the Orient, the Barka Mercenaries dispatched a rescue team.
