Well, I’m glad to hear that. I feel more comfortable here in the military than going back to my family. Oh, right. What did you petition village chief for?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The installation of a teleportation gate connecting the rear fortress town to the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I also asked for a Village Five store to be opened in the fortress town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Any chance it’ll go through?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve angered Count Chrome, so I can’t expect his support…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe I should try asking Marquis Britoa for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「If it gets rejected, I’ll be submitting a long vacation request.
