BXBX NOVEL Chapter 91
「Nelson-san, about the diplomatic situation with the other countries......」(Kazura) Kazura spoke up until that point when he realized that Lieze who was sitting next to him was staring him with a curious expression . He was careless . Lieze didn’t know that Kazura is Greysior . Of course, she would be curious since she observed how Kazura was asking about armaments like he was completely clueless about it . 「...... Please let me hear the details at some other time . There is still opportunity to continue this talk later . 」(Kazura) Kazura said this and stood up, and beside him, Lieze also stood up . 「Hm is that so? I understand . The details will be for another time . Thank you for listening to our situation . 」(Nelson) Nelson deeply bowed his head to Kazura . ✦✧✦✧✦ After leaving the office room, Kazura was walking on the mansion’s corridor with Lieze . Right now, it was almost noon, but later this evening, he planned to dig a water channel in the courtyard for the hydroelectric generator with Isaac and Havel . The current time was a bit past 11 o’clock and there was still quite some time left before the lunchtime . 「Kazura-sama, about the conversation before......」(Lieze) Kazura was walking while thinking about the armaments when Lieze spoke out timidly . 「Ah, yes . What is it?」(Kazura) After he gave his reply, Kazura remembered the series of events in the reference room and he felt as if his back was wet with cold sweat . If Nelson didn’t enter the reference room at that time, then he can’t imagine what would have happened . He felt as if he was drawn by a great influence, but what is that really? 「If you are interested in the military affairs, then I can guide you around in the military . Since the Noble Guards soldier and the other private soldiers are training every day, then you can see their training if we go to the training ground or barracks . 」(Lieze) 「Huh, it’s not that topic?」(Kazura)
「Eh?」(Lieze) 「Ah, it’s nothing! Please do so! Since I would like to see the army even for a moment!」(Kazura) Kazura thought that she was surely going to continue their conversation in the reference room, so he never thought of an unexpected proposal that he unintentionally yelped . Like this, it was like he was expecting for that conversation to happen, so he hurriedly returned a nod to Lieze . 「Then, since it will be noon soon . . . . . . Ah, I am scheduled to have an audience soon...... Tomorrow...... there also an audience...... I’m sorry, I will set the time later, then let’s go together . 」(Lieze) Lieze became dejected when she remembered her schedules . When Kazura returned back to Grisea Village, Lieze refused every audience request that came to her so she could finish her work as much as possible . However, the refused suitors didn’t just give up, but postponed the audience and requested for an audience again, so Lieze was in a condition where she was unable to move . Lieze was thinking that if she canceled the audience by saying that the circumstances not permit, then those scheduled audiences itself would disappear, but this idea wasn’t that good . As expected, if she continues to repeatedly refuse it will tarnish her social appearance, so this situation couldn’t be helped . She would receive the audience from the noon today . 「Oh, that’s fine . I also have a schedule this afternoon, so let’s go together on the next occasion . 」(Kazura) 「Thank you very much . Then when that time comes, please say so . I am also looking forward to it, even if it’s only a trip to the city . 」(Lieze) 「Well, as soon as the circumstances permit, let’s take that trip . 」(Kazura) When Kazura matched her conversation, Lieze made a very happy smile . 「Yes! Then, I’ll inform you about the possible time after I sort my schedule later!」(Lieze) 「Eh? Yes, I understand . 」(Kazura) Seeing how Lieze was looking forward to that event, Kazura nodded even when he was a bit bewildered . From the event in the reference room, and how she clung unto the conversation just now, Kazura felt that Lieze’s attitude suddenly changed, after he returned to Isteria . He thought that it was because she was a rather sociable girl, but he felt that somehow the vector had changed into an unexpected direction . After that, Kazura passed time talking with Lieze until the lunchtime arrived . ✦✧✦✧✦ That afternoon . After his lunch with Nelson and Lieze, Kazura was in the courtyard just outside his room with Isaac and Havel .
Besides Kazura, there was a cardboard box that contained the hydroturbine generator, and above it, the unfolded instructions . By the way, Zirconia didn’t show up at the lunch . It seems that for today she was taking a good rest in her room . 「Let’s see, 『You need a slope to some extent fort the generator to operate』...... So, I can’t generate electricity in a flat ground . 」(Kazura) The hydroturbine generator that was purchased by Kazura was a type that uses the water flow inside a thick vinyl chloride tube . Fan-like blades were attached inside the tube, that rotated when water flows in the cylinder and exerted its force on the blades . The blade shaft was connected directly to the generator, so when the shaft was rotated by the force from the water current, it will drive the generator . 「Is it necessary for the water to flow from higher place?」(Havel) Havel, who heard Kazura’s muttering, asked . 「Yes . We have no other way but draw water with the waterwheel, construct an aqueduct at a higher position and then directly connect it with this tube . So it will be another do-it-yourself work......」(Kazura) 「We will prepare the personnel who would undertake the work, so please tell us anything that we needed to do, since we will quickly work on it」(Havel) 「Then, can you install a waterwheel in the waterway of the estate to draw the water from it and then built an aqueduct to bring that drawn water until it reaches the front of this room?」(Kazura) He had originally thought that it would be enough if he just extended the waterway that was flowing in the estate until it reached his room, but it looks like this wouldn’t work . Although it would be quite taxing, it seems that there was no other way than using a waterwheel and the aqueduct to bring the water into the front of his room and then install the generator at its end . 「Certainly . Then I will gather the needed personnel immediately . 」(Havel) 「Please do so . I will confirm the necessary components and the installation location for the aqueduct . Isaac-san please prepare the waterwheel . I’m sure that there are some waterwheels that are under construction in the carpenter workshops, please bring them all here . 」(Kazura) 「I understood . 」(Isaac) Currently, the gasoline generator could only cover the electricity for the refrigerator, but if he could use the hydroturbine generator he prepared this time, then he would be able to use other electric appliances such as the air conditioner and the microwave oven . The gasoline used for the generator could be kept in reserve and be brought out together with the generator when he needed electricity at another place . And the best above all, if he could use the air conditioners then his daily life ought to be slightly more comfortable . From the amount of the electricity that can be generated by the hydroturbine generator that will be installed, it could cover every electric power requirement needed by the home appliances that he brought here . If the installation of the hydroturbine generator was successful, then he would be able to pass the days in almost the same as his life back in Japan for the foreseeable future .
