Fun Territory Defense of the Easy-Going Lord - Chapter 108
[Another Viewpoint] Arte’s Homecoming and the Investigator
[Arte]
“Are you sure you don’t mind? Don’t you need to see your parents?”
When Ortho-san asks me that, I laugh in annoyance.
“I’ll only embarrass them if I go back…”
When I told him this, Ortho looked at the carriage going one behind with a complicated look on his face. The top of the carriage was gone, and two battered dolls sat quietly there.
Their armor had been cruelly peeled off, and they were deformed. The dolls themselves had scratches all over.
Looking at them sideways, Ortho let out a sigh.
“Thanks to those two and ballista, that city was saved. If they knew that Miss Arte, the daughter of the lord of that city, had done it, the people would be overjoyed, wouldn’t they? Even the parents…”
“…I don’t know. My mother hated my puppet magic… only Master Van approved of my magic.”
Ortho shushes as he replies with his eyes downcast.
In fact, I didn’t think he would be pleased when I left. Besides, I had accomplished my goal of repelling the enemy forces under the banner of the Countess of Ferdinand.
“…Come on, let’s go home, Master Van is waiting for us. For me, the only place I can return to is Van-sama’s side now.”
When he cheerfully announced this and laughed, Ortho blinked his eyes, but then immediately laughed as if he were about to blow up.
“I see. Well, if it’s okay with Miss Arte, we won’t say anything. Then, let’s report the victory to Mr. Van. Maybe he will celebrate with a barbecue.”
“Hmmm…yes. I’m looking forward to it.”
With that conversation, I headed home.
Strangely, I felt as if my shoulders were lighter. I felt as if all the worries I had always felt about my mother, about my own misery, and about the meaning of my existence, had been lifted.
I still miss my mother a little and want her praise, but now I miss Van more than anything. I want to see him and tell him that I did my best, that I made it.
So, without looking back, I headed straight for Seat Village, where Van was waiting for me.
[Ferdinand]
Mysterious reinforcements left Jiernetta’s army in ruins with overwhelming force.
The banner belonged to the Count of Ferdinand.
Hearing this information, there was a great commotion in the castle of the Ferdinand family.
“Who in the world is that?”
“Isn’t he a noble from a neighboring domain who belongs to the Count’s faction?”
“Don’t be ridiculous. No one can defeat Jiernetta’s large army, which even includes a flying dragon, with just a few men.”
Everywhere, knights, lords, and even maids were talking.
Meanwhile, Arte’s mother and sister, who understood that she had miraculously survived, looked out the window as if in a daze.
After a few moments, Arte’s sister opens her mouth.
“…Who in the world came to save us…?”
Arte’s mother did not reply, but stared outside. The walls of the castle town had been cruelly broken down, and smoke was rising from some parts. It was a far cry from the usual peaceful appearance of the town.
Then, one of the knights who had seen off the departing reinforcements came to report.
“I have a report. Of the knights who went to the defense, about 1,000 were killed. The number of seriously wounded is 1,500. However, thanks to the reinforcements, miraculously, the damage to the territory is expected to be minimal so far.”
“I see.”
Hearing the reply, the knight bowed and was about to leave when Arte’s sister turned around.
“Do you know anything about those reinforcements?”
The knight paused, momentarily reluctant to answer, but then turned to Arte’s mother and opened his mouth.
“…Yes. There are four things we now know. The first is that the reinforcements were flying the flag of the Counts of Ferdinand. The second is that they were a group of mercenaries or adventurers, based on reports that there was no uniformity in armor or equipment. Third, the direction in which the reinforcements appeared and left was in the direction of the Marquis de Fertio’s domain. And…”
In the middle of her report, Arte’s mother also turned her gaze away from the window and looked sideways at the knight.
“…Fourth, it is rumored that the one who was riding and commanding the horse at the front looked like a young girl with white hair. That is all.”
Then, hearing the last report, he shakes his shoulders and turns his head out the window again.
“…No way, no way…”
Muttering something in a small, trembling voice, Arte’s mother stopped speaking. Arte’s sister just stared at her mother’s back, not saying a word.
[Investigator].
In Scuderia, a new business with extraordinary revenues is born. To my surprise, it seems that the new trading company is not based in Royal Capital, but in a small village in the middle of nowhere.
Impossible. There is something behind it. Rumors like this spread immediately among the guild staff.
The Commerce Guild gathers information on various countries and their merchant associations, and members of the Commerce Guild can obtain a detailed list of import/export goods and their prices from various countries. Furthermore, with the cooperation of guild members, it is possible to exchange letters to distant places and to be introduced to business partners in countries and cities that are new to you.
This would be impossible only for large merchant associations with roots in multiple countries. There are countless other benefits to Commerce Guild membership, but most will join to expand their sales channels and learn about products in other countries.
However, joining the Commerce Guild not only requires an annual membership fee based on the size of the chamber of commerce, but also a percentage of sales.
Some chambers of commerce have been reluctant to do so, and have repeatedly misrepresented their sales and size.
The chambers of commerce that violate this discipline pay a penalty and are expelled, but most of them do not follow through. Some even try to kill investigators to keep them quiet.
Therefore, when investigators such as ours are dispatched, they are accompanied by a group of people with sufficient self-defense capabilities.
Since branches of the Commerce Guild are located in the Royal Capital of each country, the itinerary is small, but the large number of people involved in the trip makes it expensive.
This time, the Mary Chamber of Commerce, which has a base in the Royal Capital, was able to cooperate with us and allowed us to accompany a caravan to the same destination, but we still hired ten adventurers with ties to the Commerce Guild.
Considering the remote location, the cost of this survey would be moderate.
“Apollo-sama? You seem to have a grim look on your face…?”
I was interrupted in my thoughts by a voice.
I look up and see two people sitting in front of me. One is Diane Triumph, the owner of this carriage and the third daughter of the Triumph sisters, who at a young age is the president of the Mary Chamber of Commerce; she is a charming girl with red hair and a green-colored dress, but her ability is such that even within the Commerce Guild she is occasionally mentioned.
Sitting next to her is Rosalie, a 30-something year-old woman who manages one of the Mary Commerce Guild’s Royal Capital stores. As far as I can tell, from their conversation, she is an outsider who has nothing to do with Triumph, the family of the first chairman of the board, and is a rare person who started out as an apprentice merchant and worked her way up to store manager.
In short, they are two of the Mary Chamber of Commerce’s most talented merchants.
I looked back at them, both of them raising their eyebrows at the same time, each with different emotions, and opened my mouth.
“No, being an investigator for the Commerce Guild, I have to think about all the things I don’t want to think about… ah, no, I’m sorry.”
Rosalie nods as she tells him this with a wry smile.
“It’s the same for us.”
“I see. No, I don’t. Certainly, your position must be similar to mine, with similar problems.”
When I responded, they both laughed as if they were troubled. They seem to be having a casual conversation, but I can see that their eyes are trying to find out what’s in my gut.
That’s probably true. We are now heading to the Belrango Chamber of Commerce, which was newly established by a former member of the Mary Chamber of Commerce. In some cases, the eyes of the investigators will turn to the Mary Chamber of Commerce as well.
Is the Belrango Chamber of Commerce, which is making a profit that is hard to believe for a newly established chamber of commerce, in cahoots with the Mary Chamber of Commerce? Or is it the Marquise Fertio?
Worst-case scenario, we may have to consider the involvement of the kingdom.
“…Totally, it’s all things I don’t want to think about.”
I muttered and laughed dryly. If we do poorly, we will have enemies all around us. I must be prepared for that.

This hormone performs an important position in muscle development, power
growth, and general athletic performance. Understanding its
benefits, different forms, and correct administration is important
for these considering its use in bodybuilding.
The article will examine several compounds typically thought to be safer decisions amongst anabolic steroids.
It will cowl testosterone as the foundation for secure steroid use, Anavar as
a milder oral possibility, and Primobolan as an injectable with fewer unwanted aspect

traditional steroids and supply insights on implementing protected steroid cycles.
Whereas not a well being issue, hair loss may be distressing for young steroid users.
Nevertheless, if females are prepared to inject, Equipoise can ship lovely, regular gains in lean muscle over
an extended cycle at low doses. It’s usually well
tolerated by girls, offering a wonderful introduction to steroids.
You need to run an extended cycle with Equipoise because of
its long half-life of about 15 days, leading to a slower onset of results within the early phases.
Anadrol just isn’t a dry AAS, and it’ll trigger water retention for that portion of the cycle.
However the upside is the pumped-up, full look Anadrol offers
while EQ takes its time to kick in to start leaning you out and enhancing vascularity.
Anadrol’s power enhance may be felt nearly instantly and can energy your workouts from the start
of this cycle. Optionally, HCG at 500iu each different day ranging from the end
of the cycle to get a head begin on stimulating natural check manufacturing.
After two weeks, continue with Nolvadex for 4-6 weeks at 20mg/day,
decreased to 10mg/day for the ultimate week.
It may even enhance power into the stratosphere – far more so
than Boldenone. However you also get the lengthy listing of
Tren side effects that don’t exist with Equipoise.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accredited these drugs

Compared with serum creatinine, serum cystatin C concentrations are much less
affected by age, sex, race, and, most importantly, muscle mass (167).
One examine so far has investigated the impact of high dosages of AAS on serum cystatin C concentrations (168).
Serum creatinine and cystatin C concentrations
had been measured in fifty seven current AAS users, 28 previous customers, and 52 non-AAS-using weightlifters.
Purple yeast rice extract incorporates monacolin K (lovastatin),
which explains its efficacy in decreasing LDL-cholesterol (144).
While its use is likely protected (145), commercial red yeast rice dietary supplements can range significantly of their lovastatin content (146).
Berberine additionally reduces LDL-cholesterol, though this discovering is usually supported by
trials of poor methodological high quality (147).
Thus AAS use must be strongly discouraged in those who develop polycythemia.
Alternatively, therapeutic phlebotomy could be thought-about for those who, towards better judgment, proceed AAS use for extended durations of time.
Certain side effects of anabolic steroids may be permanent, corresponding to organ harm and stretch marks on your skin. Treating
physique dysmorphic disorder may decrease the probability of unhealthy behaviors, similar to misuse of anabolic steroids.
Nandrolone supplementation will increase neuroinflammatory
markers, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-?) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1B), indicating a neurotoxic
response in the hippocampus (El-Shamarka et al., 2019).
When nitric oxide function is inhibited and the blood vessels aren’t dilated, the constriction of the vessels and blood circulate
can lead to a rise in blood strain, this is named hypertension.
Sure, steroid use, particularly the misuse or abuse of anabolic steroids, can doubtlessly lead to psychosis in susceptible people.
While psychosis isn’t a common facet effect of steroid use, it has
been reported in some instances, notably with excessive doses or long-term use of steroids.
In females within the ovaries, Testosterone and Androstenedione act as precursors for the manufacturing of Estrogen,
and Estradiol is the first estrogen manufactured within the ovaries in females by way of
the method of aromatization[3]. Aromatization is basically the conversion of androgens
(such as Testosterone) into Estradiol (E2), and the enzyme
responsible for this conversion is the aromatase enzyme.
This is what is liable for the small level of Estrogen that’s present in men, while the
method and price of aromatization in females is far greater, leading to a much larger
stage of Estrogen in women than in males.

Subsequently, bodybuilders commonly complement with TUDCA throughout or after a cycle for liver safety.
In one other study, 28 adults with chronic anemia were given a
really excessive dose of Anadrol, 5 mg/kg of body weight (9).
Two research have concluded that Anadrol burns significant
quantities of subcutaneous fat when dosed at one hundred mg per day (3, 4).
Strength ranges can decrease by 40% post-cycle, which correlates with the same diploma of weight
reduction. Anadrol is 3x extra anabolic than testosterone, to place its muscle-building potential into perspective.
Women usually take the lower finish of this vary, 10 mg/day, in a bid to keep away from virilization effects.
Eating in a calorie deficit may have contributed to
a portion of the fats loss skilled throughout his transformation. This failure
was due to insignificant improvements in muscular power, regardless of will increase in muscle hypertrophy.
Some people can turn into used to the sensation of
power or endurance that steroids give them and become dangerously addicted.
Healthcare suppliers primarily prescribe anabolic steroids to deal with low testosterone (male hypogonadism).
However they use it for other situations as well,
similar to to stimulate muscle growth for people with certain cancers or acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Elevated bloating and water
retention presents elevated risks for cardiovascular problems as
a outcome of rising blood stress and elevated fluids in the cardiovascular system.
Estrogen is thought in this manner to control fluid retention within the body in each sexes[19].
It stands to reason that increased AVP levels are
correlated with increased Estrogen ranges within the body.
Anabolic steroids that don’t aromatize (such as Trenbolone,
Anavar, Winstrol, and tons of more) excluding Anadrol, do not contribute to this effect.
These doses are much higher than people who well being care suppliers use
for medical causes.
The commonest unwanted facet effects of steroid use that occurs in girls should do with a lower in female elements and the looks of male characteristics.
Some believe that PCT only applies to males because they’ve greater testosterone levels; nevertheless, testosterone still stays
a vital hormone for women’s sexual and psychological function. Nonetheless, there may be evidence
to counsel that clenbuterol has some anabolic properties, with its ability to increase skeletal muscle in animals (4).
We have had girls declare that Clenbuterol does assist them construct
muscle and increase power, whereas others discover little
(if any) improvement.
It is crucial to notice that every individual could react differently to Primobolan,
and the occurrence and severity of unwanted effects can differ.
Consulting with a healthcare skilled experienced in anabolic steroid utilization is very
really helpful to make sure personalized steerage and monitoring.
By following responsible utilization protocols, being aware of potential side effects,
and employing applicable mitigation strategies, individuals can mitigate dangers and maximize the benefits of Primobolan. Methenolone
has a notable impact on performance, making it a preferred selection amongst athletes and health fanatics.
By promoting lean muscle mass growth and increasing energy, Methenolone
enhances bodily performance capabilities. The improved muscle strength and energy contribute to enhanced athletic efficiency, enabling individuals to carry out at greater intensities and achieve their targets.
These changes are often irreversible as quickly as the hormonal
steadiness has been disrupted for too long. Anabolic steroids are
Schedule III substances underneath the Controlled Substances Act.
Solely a small number of anabolic steroids are approved for either human or
veterinary use. To use anabolic steroids safely, you want a prescription and supervision of
a well being care provider.
One Other androgenic aspect impact we see with Dianabol is oily skin, or zits vulgaris.
Several of the above have been shown to be efficient in restoring normal HPT axis operate and thus
rising endogenous (natural) testosterone back to regular levels.
If a user repeatedly takes oral Dianabol for several months
with out cycling off, they’ll be vulnerable to creating peliosis hepatis.
This is a vascular condition the place blood-filled cysts appear all
through the liver. This may cause pain within the higher right of the stomach, jaundice,
anemia, or bleeding. Gynecomastia is when breast tissue in males begins to enlarge, resulting in swollen nipples or the pectorals beginning to kind the shape of
feminine breasts. We have discovered regular cardiovascular
train to be essentially the most helpful protocol
for reducing high blood pressure in patients.
The above cycle will be much less troublesome compared to Anadrol and testosterone stacked together, nonetheless, it will almost match the
strength and measurement features. If you want to actually maximize your gains on deca it’s to mix it with either testosterone or dianabol
(oral). However, Dianabol is thought to trigger a fair amount of
water retention, so 15 lbs of the burden you gain on D-Bol could
be water retention. The acquisition of Anavar for beauty functions
additionally poses hazards to customers, as we’ve discovered counterfeiting to
be common with this steroid. A frequent rip-off we see is for methandrostenolone (Dianabol) to replace
oxandrolone, as it’s cheaper to supply. This poses additional risks for females,
as research has shown virilization to be a extra frequent prevalence with Dianabol use (16).
Anavar may cause adverse effects that may reduce well-being in customers,
such as male pattern baldness or benign prostatic hyperplasia
(enlarged prostate).
This is what some steroids earlier than and after footage and guides
promise you. Sure, even though they most likely
have some inspiring transformation footage. Your physician may recommend you’re taking
them for a brief time to treat allergic reactions, like a extreme poison ivy rash.
Acute harm to the liver can be detected by an increase within the ALT
enzyme; nonetheless, if injury to the liver leads
to additional deterioration of different organs, this might be
highlighted by a spike in AST. Thus, the liver will virtually definitely turn into broken during a cycle of Dianabol.
This spike in vascularity is due to Dianabol’s vasodilation effect, the place blood vessels dilate and become larger
in measurement, thus being positioned closer to the floor of the skin. This superior capability to get well is
how Arnold Schwarzenegger and other classic bodybuilders could get away with training for a quantity of hours each
day (intensely) with out overexerting themselves. This is why bodybuilders eat copious quantities of protein in an try to shift this nitrogen balance right into a constructive state for as lengthy as possible.
Nonetheless, this impact from consuming protein may be very gentle compared to Dianabol’s
effect on nitrogen retention, which is more efficacious
(4). Nonetheless, it is legal to obtain Dianabol (and different steroids) today in international
locations corresponding to Mexico, where they
can be purchased over-the-counter at a close-by Walmart store or native
pharmacy.
