Watashi Ga Betsu No Sekai De Umarekawatta
16-2: Complicated Negotiations
I pegged with the idea for an original magic circuit when I saw the petals of cherry blossoms dancing…
In terms of writing something that needs to be rewritten many times, doing it on the memo pad exchange column Menu is good…
The circuit is quite challenging to make, but I have made it somehow…
Let's try it out with the help of Tiane and Lina tomorrow…
It was then that Baronet Muno and Nina san returned…
I saw from the window that Baronet Muno was being carried on the back of a male servant…
His face looks very pale…
I dropped Lina and Tiane who were pretending to sleep from my lap and went to the front hall to give the magic potion to Baronet Muno…
Of course the two of them actually opened their eyes after giving up from sleep pretending to follow me shamelessly…
"Welcome back Nina san…"
"Pina, give this nutritional supplement to the same Baronet…"
"Ou, I'm back…"
"Damn, you spread the smell of good liquor to me…"
"Give me too…"
Nina san cursed the smell of alcohol in my breath…
Baronet Muno who was panting had already rested into his bedroom…
I told them again to make sure that she had to take a nutritional supplement before she went to bed…
He'll be healthy again tomorrow morning if he drinks it…
"Ohh Nina san is sulking…"
"Yes, if only Lina dono or Tiane accepted the position of consul aide, my workload would be reduced by half…"
"No ~ possible…"
"I wouldn't be able to be near the Master if I did that…"
"Right, no Secilia no Life, you know…"
It seemed like Consul Nina was also exhausted, there was no strength to her innuendo on the two of them…
I took a nutritional supplement from the storage through my pocket and handed it to Nina san…
It's a special version with a lot of sugar that I prepared for these two guys…
"What's this…?"
"It smells really sweet…"
"Please drink it in one gulp…"
"It's good for fatigue…"
Nina san gulped down a nutritional supplement in one go and muttered, “sweet”, while looking she really disliked it…
Nina san had restored her vitality once we reached the living room…
As expected of a magic medicine…
"It was very effective…"
"This is a product of alchemists…"
I poured the Shiga drink that Lina brought to Nina san who answered carelessly…
Side dish of some bacon lesser basilisk…
"That's why, you do it moderately…"
"Please don't say something that doesn't make sense…"
Nina san explained the situation was mixed with complaints…
I was told that Nina san had made arrangements to make me a Baronet…
There should be no problem with that given my achievements so far, but the obstacles came from an unexpected direction…
It came from a relative of Duke Oyugock who was supposed to be in the same faction as us…
But I'm actually a non-factional…
"Geez, I really think that Duke Oyugock was senile when he wanted to raise you to become an Earl…"
"Earldom does not really make sense…"
The Earldom was a top ranked Noble, there were only 32 of them even in Shiga Kingdom…
Of course, dissent came one after another from the other factions and the proposal was rejected…
Usually it should have ended with that…
Apparently countless stars were falling in the western sky and the shock even reached the Royal Capital…
It seems like Nina san and Baronet Mun saw it also from the royal palace.
In addition, a report came from the temple about the emergence of an oracle that informed about the rise of the Evil God Dog Head in the western desert…
It seemed that the royal palace was in a panic, everything was terrifying. The Oracle has good and bad news…
The panic of the Nobles from the old bloodline was very cute, so Nina san laughed while drinking her liquor…
Many lives were sacrificed due to riots and chaos from panic to communication from the labyrinth city conveyed that the demon lord — Evil God Dog Head according to the temple had been conquered…
Sacrifice might not have appeared if I had not used such striking magic as the Maiden Silver Arrow, but there was nothing I could do even if I was worried about “if what”…
Let's take this lesson for another lesson…
In particular, I must obtain the Chant Orb and become able to use advanced magic and forbidden level magic up to the level of Gods and beyond…
I should be able to defeat powerful enemies without relying on my skills which only became my true strength restraint…
Now, let's get back to the topic…
The king announced that Hero Shiro was the [Hero of Shiga Kingdom] to appease the people, but the effect was weak…
It was only natural that the hero had never even done anything in front of the inhabitants of the Royal Capital…
It seemed that the public even doubted the existence of this Shiro Hero…
Then, the report of the group led by me as the Raid Leader who defeated the Floor Master came to the Royal Capital being turbulent…
Usually the story should have been a repetition of Jeril and the others and was overshadowed, but due to such circumstances, it did not attract attention…
The difference in strength between a demon lord and a Floor Master was completely unthinkable, but from the point of view of a normal person, they were both mighty monsters…
So, since an existence that could fight against such a creature seemed to be more reliable than a hero that might or might not exist, some strange request, was, claiming that I should be taken from Baronet Muno and become a direct follower of the royal family, began to spread among the Royal Capital Nobles…
It was nothing but grasping the straw, but it was really quite a troublesome story…
Although in a way, I've come...
And the decisive blow was when Lina and Tiane won against the Shiga Eight Sword…
It seems like I was almost nominated as an Earl, but Nina san and Baronet Muno managed to stop him…
I can't say anything else but Good Work…
In the end, Nina san said that I should be an honorary Viscount or a permanent Baron…
"By the way, is it true that the group you led to defeat the 'Floor Master' mainly consisted of fairykin mercenaries…?"
"Yes, they were the ones introduced by an acquaintance during the trip to the Labyrinth City…"
"In addition, none of your followers were killed, that's a very unreasonable achievement…"
"It's better if there's some casualties, right…"
In fact, there were no casualties and no one was seriously injured, it was a completely safe hunt…
"In addition, you even set up a charity orphanage and explorer training school in the Labyrinth City, right…?"
"Yes, it's like what I wrote in the letter…"
"We must make good use of human resources…"
It sounds a bit cold, but if you want to effectively gather resources such as magic cores and monster materials from the labyrinth, it is better to raise the standards of novice explorers so that there will be more experienced ones…
If there were more people with room to advance, there would be people who would raise the next generation…
"Frankly, you're no longer on the level of an honorary Chevalier…"
"You're exaggerating me..."
It's not humility, I really think so…
Charity orphanages and explorer training schools aren't because I have a noble wish or something, it's just a chain of events…
"By the way, I've been wanting to ask you this since..."
"What's that…?"
"However, this fish is delicious…"
"The meat is like an eel and very delicious like Conger…"
Ahh, that's White Horn Snake's meat…
I had added it because the bacon of the basilisk had run out, but since I carelessly removed the meat from the monster, I avoided the question by saying, "Please guess what… "
This kabayaki goes well with Shiga's liquor…
Incidentally, Conger Shiga Kingdom was as thick as a baseball bat…
Oops, the story is hanging around again…
I forcibly directed the story back to the topic…
"I remember if the title of Noble is higher than the honorary Baronet and the permanent Baronet can only be granted by the King himself…?"
"Of course…"
"Then why do the Nobles talk about whether someone will be given the title of Noble…"
Before replying to me, Nina san gulped down the liquor bottle until it was emptied demanding more, so I picked up the Dragon Spring liquor from behind the sofa…
I chose the best liquor as compensation for all the trouble…
"What we did was negotiate before to recommend people with achievements worthy of being Nobles to the King…"
"How many thousands of Nobles do you think are in this great kingdom…?"
"Recommending talented people from places that do not reach the eyes of the King is the privilege and duty of the Nobles over…"
I get it, it's like a company, yeah…
It is like a section manager or head manager who recommends their subordinates for promotion to the board of directors, only on a national scale…
"Despite this, only about half of the recommended people earned the title of Nobles…"
"This time there are many people who are placed at a low rank like you…"
I understand, so he recommended the title of [Honorary viscount or permanent Baron] because [Honorary Baron or permanent Baronet] was already too much…
"I like honorary baronets…"
"It looks like the marriage proposal will increase if I choose a permanent one…"
"Hmph, if you don't like marriage proposals, then get a husband…"
"I personally want you to bring the same Orion to marry as your bride…"
“Thus there will be fewer Nobles planning to move”, that's how Nina san muttered…
After that, he told me about the state of Muno territory recently…
I have heard it from the letter as well, it seems that the construction of Muno Baronetdom is good enough to be called too good…
This was thanks to the Nobles of the Capital of Duchy offering their technical support on behalf of the Support and Technical Exchange…
He nurtured the maids and servants of those who came from the Capital of Duchy to learn manners to become personnel for internal administration, so they were already quite safe for now…
Moreover, as for general security, in addition to the enhancement thanks to the mysterious person, it was probably me when I was looking for pickles and caught a large number of thieves, probably me, the bronze explorers who came from the labyrinth city and entered the government service also helped strengthen the army…
It seems Sir Zotor is diligently training with a former rookie explorer…
Former fake hero Hauto kun also became qualified enough to become an officer…
After the conversation was almost over, we started talking about gossip…
Nina san, tomorrow will be bad if you don't go to sleep soon, you know…?
"Ohh right, Viscount Emurin's daughter also came here…"
"He's visiting his home in the Capital of Duchy right now, but he'll come here with the Viscount with the airship…"
Who else is it…
Right, if I remember correctly, Viscount Emurin is the Noble San who runs the 'Lulu' orchard' …
I've met his daughter Rina Chan at some tea party…
He's a reliable kid even though he was only about a year old first in high school…
Oops, rather than that, I forgot to ask the most important thing…
"I've got something important to talk to you about…"
"What's with that serious face…"
I asked Nina san who was retreating, I can finally ask about the dried pumpkin…
In particular, about the bottle gourd fruit that will become a dried pumpkin…
"You're interested in some weird stuff…"
"The fruit is unscented, and the skin is hard, so no one eats it except as a substitute food…"
"That's because you can't eat what it is…"
"It's rich in dietary fiber, so it's good for the stomach…"
"Fuhn, it's some kind of medical plant, yeah…"
Nina san folded her hands, maybe she thought I would commercialize them…
Nina san found out about the bottle gourd when she was investigating it, whether it could produce fruit that could be sold to finance the construction of Muno Baronetdom…
Surprisingly, the plants were not only present in the great forest as True Ancestor Ban said, they grew wild everywhere in the northern part of Muno Baronetdom…
There seemed to be a village overgrown with dried pumpkins as demons quietly acted behind the scenes and they suffered in poverty…
Nina san who guessed that I wanted bottle gourds made a strong promise that she would send them to my mansion in the Labyrinth City…
If I can make a good recipe, I will send it to Gelt san, the head chef of Muno castle…
The drinking battle was over when the big bottle of Dragon Spring liquor had been emptied…
I took the sleeping Lina and Tiane and made my arms become his pillow into the bedroom…
There's only three hours left before morning, but I'll let him sleep for a while…
