At this time, should we follow the standard of coaxing children? or something else? Judging from his age, there is nothing wrong with Wuming being a child, but he has never coaxed a child before, at most Tina and Chaoxia.

...Although Tina and Chaoxia are only ten years old, their psychological age is probably older than Wuming, and they cannot be calculated as ordinary children. Since he really has no experience in coaxing children, what should he do next? Sure enough...

Just thinking about it, Yong Ye suddenly thought of what Wuming just said, and quickly found the topic.

"Ah, by the way, you just said that you will be thirteen years old after today? That means your birthday today?"

"Yeah~ It's my birthday today, so can Yongye be my birthday present?"

"No... I'm not a birthday present. If you have anything else you want, I can find a way to get it for you after a while."

"Gift?"

Wuminghou put his head on Yongye's chest, so he looked up at Yongye from below and smiled.

"Uncle, if you don't want to be my gift, what else can be used as a gift in our iron city where supplies are scarce? Is it possible to stop and pick a flower? I don't want that. Oh?"

"...Then what do you want, just talk about it, maybe I can help you achieve it?"

"Then... how about a kiss?"

The smiling girl spoke serious words in a joking tone.

"...You're joking again, you're a naughty child."

Disapprovingly, he reached out and pulled the girl's face. Yong Ye completely took this sentence as a joke, or... planned to take it as a joke, but... the girl who slapped his hand off with a slap changed the previous joke. , stared at him very seriously with the big eyes of water and spirit.

"I'm serious."

"Even if you say so...it's getting dark, maybe there will be Kabane again tomorrow, so let's go to rest early."

Ignoring the girl's gaze, Yong Ye put his hands through the girl's armpits and lifted her up, and then stood up himself, using sleep as an excuse to forcibly end the topic.

Closing the conversation on the pretext of sleep was a success, um... yes, it was a success, but...

After Wuming replaced the birthday gift he wanted, according to the request, Yongye was lying on the bed very rarely. He looked at the ceiling in the armored iron city, feeling the weight of his body, and couldn't help but think. To sigh.

"I said no name... After tonight, you will be a 13-year-old child, so it's better to be separated? There are so many beds here, you can choose any one, why do you have to squeeze one with me? You I also know that the bed plank of this Iron Fortress is very narrow, and it is only suitable for single people."

"It's too hard, even with the sheets, it's still too hard, and the steel underneath is hard, how can you sleep comfortably?"

She wanted to act like a spoiled child on the only person who could make her act like a spoiled child, to sleep on the same bed, to hug her tightly, to rub her face on her chest, and to tell her thoughts about these days. This is Wuming's idea that appeared involuntarily after being separated for more than two months, and she is doing exactly that now.

"...You said it like I was sleeping."

He always felt that the pair of spheres on the girl's chest with overwhelming quality, Yong Ye squashed on his body, looking at the girl who rubbed her face against his chest, there was still a childish face, and there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart. The emergence of guilt.

Wuming is not the level of childishness, but a child who is quite immature... But how does she look like a child? It's growing too well, isn't it? Compared to her sixteen-year-old Chi Tong...

No, why compare? Why should he care about things that ordinary laymen would care about, and this is obviously not an act he actively requested, why should he feel guilty?

...Although the words are like this, Wuming is only thirteen years old. Children of this age are blind, and they should be stopped under normal circumstances, and then they will be thrown into the bed as before, but now they feel a little indifferent. , but inexplicably also feels a little guilty, ah... the mood is so complicated...

"Yongye? What are you thinking? Your face is so strange."

"...Well, various things make me feel a little complicated."

"I was hugged to sleep by a girl, but my heart didn't sing. Are you not treating me as a girl?"

Wuming, who put his ear to Yongye's chest, did not hear the expected high-pitched cry, and his mood became a little unhappy unconsciously, and his face was quickly filled with dissatisfaction.

"...if you are treated as the opposite sex, that's a bad situation, okay?"

You must know that although Wuming looks like a girl, she is actually a young girl, and it is a crime to have a relationship with a young girl. Although the customs of this world are different, but... children are really used to hurt, not to do anything else. , he's not a pervert of a young girl's control.

Thinking like this, Yong Ye pressed the head of the girl in his arms looking up at him, then just like more than ten years ago, he ignored the **** his body, closed his eyes and got ready to sleep.

"Okay, it's bedtime now, don't think about messy things."

"...Um~ Sure enough, Uncle seems to have changed a lot.

He removed Yong Ye's hand on his head, Wuming pressed his hands on Yong Ye's chest, propped up his upper body, and looked down at him condescendingly.

"Changed? Where? In terms of appearance, I haven't changed at all, okay?"

"Not only the scars have increased, but the temperament seems to be very different from before... It's only been more than two months, what happened??"

Leaning into Yongye, the girl carefully observed his face, as if she wanted to see why. She wanted to know everything about Yongye, so even if she was considered to be entangled, she wanted to continue entanglement.

"...More than two months?...What can happen in more than two months? Are you thinking too much?"

"Liar! Something has definitely happened! You've definitely changed a lot! If I didn't bother you before, you wouldn't have slept with me, but now it seems like you don't care about this kind of thing anymore!"

"Is that your illusion?"

"...Uncle...you...do you have another woman outside?! That's why you're so used to this kind of thing?!"

Wuming pressed down his upper body and stared at Yong Ye with wide eyes at close range, so close that Yong Ye could almost feel her breath.

"...In my eyes, you are not a woman. You think too much, so go to bed quickly."

Yong Ye didn't think that those children were his own women, and it was impossible to say that it was a habit, so he simply stretched out his hand and hugged the girl in his arms, and then turned to her side like a pillow. There was no way to stay on top of him anymore, and it turned into a situation where he was lying on his side and hugged.

"Wow...!?"

Good at taking the initiative to attack, but not good at passive Wuming, he was suddenly hugged by Yongye on his side, his face flushed instantly, and he was so nervous and flustered that he was speechless. matter.

When the girl in his arms was shy and unable to speak, Yong Ye was relieved. Although he didn't really want to sleep at all now, but... In order to avoid trouble, he decided to close his eyes and meditate to pass the test.

During the time that Yongye left, it was naturally impossible for the Iron Fortress to be driving all the time, but he stayed for a period of time in the first two of the three fortresses he passed by that were destroyed, and added in it. material.

It's just that the two fortresses were both captured by Kabane, and then the Iron Fortress could only stage a great escape as before. Although the city lord in the third fortress allowed them to stay for a while, they finally drove them away. .

Although the power to start the Iron Castle and other Juncheng is a special steam engine "Mclatchy Mechanism" developed by the United Kingdom, the boiler of the steam engine cannot run forever, so it stops and goes.

It happened that there was no destination, and the Iron Fortress gradually became like a sightseeing trip. When there was no Kabane, I stopped to find something to eat nearby. The samurai warned others to go fishing and dig wild vegetables. When Kabane appeared One or two kills directly, and if the number is more, it is natural to run.

Therefore, in fact, although more than two months have passed, the armored iron city has not run very far. They can return to King Kong Guo almost before the food is exhausted, and then get it in King Kong Guo, which has the most grain storage in this island country. food.

Early the next morning, Yong Ye went to Maeda Ian to ask for a special steam engine that was not kept secret in this era, the design drawings of the "Mclatchy Mechanism".

Although the development of conventional individual weapons in the empire is more developed than the firearms of this era, there are rifles and pistols that fire continuously, and the overall environment of the empire seems to be better than here? No... it doesn't seem to be much different, the empire is more advanced in terms of electric light styles, and the others seem to be more developed here.

In terms of communication, the empire is still only at the level of flying pigeons, and there are telegraphs in this world. It is through the telegraph that Pando Station has contacted Jingang Guo, and told Jingang Guo that he destroyed Nue of Pando Station. , unfortunately... The correspondent who received the warning was killed by the shogun, the father of Tiantori Mima, in order to prevent unnecessary news from causing panic among ordinary people.

Well... there are also artillery. Although the Empire has artillery, they are only very old-fashioned. Therefore, the long-distance siege weapons in the army are still mainly catapults. The artillery here is relatively advanced, almost equal to the first world. The level of the war, the 48-type guard gun mounted on the Iron City is a good symbol, and Dr. Fashion has also made similar guns, but they have not been mass-produced.

Regardless of black technology such as alchemy, the two worlds can be said to have their own strengths. In this case, it is very important to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses. For the future development of the North, Yongye has asked Qianxiang Tianpan a lot of blueprints, but no blueprints have been formed. Then let the steam craftsman start painting on the spot and draw the design drawings as much as possible.

For the development of the North, Yongye wants to collect the scientific and technological achievements here, but there are not many of these things in the Iron City, so the rest can only be found in King Kong Guo. Presumably the capital of King Kong Guo will definitely have technology. The reserved drawings are really not good, so I can only let the steam craftsmen draw them.
