Hachinan tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou! (WN)

"Suddenly, the mountains disappeared and a cave was created, and I was surprised as the folks rushed in."

When I collected the earth and sand from the exit of the vertical tunnel passing through the Major League Mountains and went outside, it was not, as expected, the outskirts of Breichrader.

The idyllic sight of farmers plowing the fields is spreading, and one of the farmers who are surprised by our appearance calls for the lord.

The lord who appeared will be about forty years old.

They are barely known as nobles, and maybe they are poorer than their parents.

But I'm surprised.

There is a noble territory that looks poorer than the old Knights of Baumeister.

Beside him is a good looking young man who looks like twenty years old, maybe his successor.

I'm dressed like my father.

The rest is a farmer who went to the news and an old man who looks about 70 years old.

The old man seems to be a butler or vassal.

I know why, because it feels like my parents' home.

"I'm sorry. Actually ..."

When I explained the situation, they were very surprised.

"No way, such a tunnel exists"

"It's the result of a known archeologist."

"So that's it"

The middle-aged lord looks at Ernest and looks as if he was impressed.

The next son and deacon were the same.

"So the exit connected to our territory?"

"Yes, so where is this?"

"Let's talk about that at the mansion. It's rough brown, but we'll serve it."

We will leave the security of the entrance to the tunnel to Thomas, and willingly accept the offer of this middle-aged lord.

Under his guidance, pass through the field, get down the field on the slope, and again through the field ...

Since it is almost a field, the rest is omitted, but the private house gradually becomes visible.

"(It's louder than the previous Baumeister mansion)"

"(Shhh!)"

I block El's mouth, muttering rudeness.

As Elle says, it would be a big problem if asked.

"Our Reimberg is such a rural village ..."

Greet each other on the way to the mansion.

The middle-aged aristocrat was Zigi Frank von Eurenberg, a knight governing a rural area with a population of about 300 people.

The young man is also a successor and introduces himself to Fight Frank von Euenberg.

The old man was named Butler's Georg.

Everyone can only be seen as a farmer ...

"I'm Count Vendelin von Benno Baumeister"

This time, if you introduce yourself, somehow suddenly they will start prostrate on the spot.

Suddenly, not only me but Elise can't hide my surprise.

"That ... Lord Sir Euremberg, we are the same kingdom noble."

I make them stand up.

No matter how small Eurailenberg territory is, they are nobles who have been granted territory and title by the kingdom.

Don't prostrate to me, who is the same aristocrat.

"Eurenberg's territory in the countryside doesn't have much public information, but we do know about Earl Baumister. You'll find yourself in such remote territories ..."

"That's right ..."

Despite being of the same aristocrat, Lord Eulenberg was terribly low and servile.

The son and the butler are the same, too sneaky, and on the contrary, they feel uncomfortable.

"Even though the great hero Count Baumeister has arrived, I can't afford much hospitality ..."

"..."

The mansion of the Knights of Eurenberg was smaller and ragged than the Knights of Baumeister.

In the world, if you go down, you think that you are rude.

"Sorry for such a ragged shop"

"Ahaha ..."

No matter what you say, this person remains vulgar.

We give up and enter a mansion or a house that can only be seen as a large farmhouse.

The inside is also a good match with the old Baumeister Knight's House.

Is the difference widening after Hermann took over, so I fixed it to some extent and made it better?

When you pass through the living room and sit down, a middle-aged woman, about the same age as Lord Eurenberg, serves tea.

"It's a rose in my house."

"I have no maid in my house, so I ..."

Bowmeister Knights were somewhat closer to "The Midnight" but had only a maid.

The lady did not exist in Eulenberg, and her wife brewed tea for herself.

Elise also brews and cooks tea, but it's about inwards and on the battlefield.

If there is a visitor now, the maid of the house brews tea for the visitor.

"It's delicious because I'm thirsty"

Luise asked for a tea change.

Unlike the Knights of Baumeister in the past, it doesn't seem to be fooled by Mate tea near Shirayu.

It is more honest and good than the old parents' house because it treats customers properly.

"Is the tea tray steamed from 'Maroimo'?"

I haven't seen it, but Ena seems to know the identity of this vegetable.

It looks like a sweet potato and potato.

The color of the skin was bright yellow and steamed like sweet potato.

I don't think it would be a good place to serve tea for nobles, but when you try it, it is sweet and delicious.

I don't know the existence of this potato, I feel like I've been losing it.

"This potato is delicious"

"Okukata-dono, I want a replacement."

Not only women but also El and Ernest were very popular.

Or rather, Ernest who can request a replacement in this situation calmly is a little enviable.

Well, I'll eat it if you change.

"Does Elise know this potato?"

"I've heard of the name of the potato named Maroimo, but I've never seen the potato."

"Isn't Elise ever seen the actual thing?"

"Because it's a potato that only occasionally appears on the outskirts of Breichrader"

It may be called “local vegetables”.

I think it's hard to get around because the production is small.

"What is that? Is it near Breichrader frontier?"

"Let's say it's close, it's a small area surrounded by the Breichrader Frontier Countries."

Sir Eulenberg, whose disobedience has finally dropped, spreads a map on the table.

"The southern territory of the Kingdom is relatively simple with the Count of Baumeister south of the Major League Mountains, the border of Breichrader in the northwest, and the minority coalition in the northeast."

"I agree"

I also check on the map I brought.

`` Although it is noted on some maps, there are also some small noble territories in the part of the map that is labeled Bleichrader and the Frontier Countries. ''

Everything seems to be no bigger than the size of Eulenberg.

There are several such knightly territories, but I was wondering about the name recognition.

"The population is about 200 to 500 people. It's just a modest knightly lord. The location is here."

The location of Eulenberg was not much different from the tunnel exit point expected by Ernest.

The only difference is that this is not the county of the Breichrader, but of the Knights of Eulenberg.

"Is that so? The story is quick."

"Are you talking early?"

"Yes. I found a tunnel through the Great League Mountains, and I want to put it into operation. I want the help of Lord Eurenberg, whose territory is on the territory."

"What? I am?"

"No, the entrance is in Eulenberg."

Additionally, about half the right to the tunnel rests with Lord Eulenberg.

Because the Great League Mountains above the tunnel were also documented by Lord Eulenberg.

"That's why I want Sir Eulenberg to have a guard, too.

Although the number of flights by Mage Airships has increased, it will not increase unless new excavations are made, and there are drawbacks in that fares are high.

It takes time to pass through the tunnel, but it was much faster than on a mountain path as in the past.

Smaller merchants are more likely to enter and will bring significant benefits to the Earl of Baumeister.

"Of course, the territory of Eulenberg is also nice."

It might not have been unfortunate for Breichrader Marsh to be not the Breichrader Margin, but to me, anyone can manage the opposite entrance.

"Do I manage?"

"Yes, even if something is wrong?"

"I can't! I can't!"

"me too!"

We were desperately denied not only by Lord Eulenberg, but also by his son-in-law, and we had a confused expression.

"" Bleichrader Margin Haku!

"Um ... we are the same kingdom noble ..."

I was confused by Lord Eulenberg's refusal to guard and manage the tunnel, and I returned with Bleichrader and Blantark in a hurry "Momentary Movement."

And, after seeing Breichrader Marshal, Eulenberg's parent and child again started prostrate, and the scene was seen somewhere where Breichrader Marshal killed.

"Why are your parents and children so submissive? We are the same nobleman ..."

Of course, it was a good idea, but this would always be a problem for Bleichrader.

Because it may be known to other nobles and used to attack Breichrader Marsh.

"Even so ..."

Euenberg's parents were calm, but Breichrader was dropping his shoulders with a dim expression.

Because of the fateful whim, the location of the Great Transile Tunnel was not your territory.

"Count, check in advance."

"But this map is the official version issued by the Kingdom Government. First, wasn't the problem unavoidable even if it was confirmed?"

"If you knew in advance, you could have worked first."

"That's right, but I didn't write it on the map. In this map, it's Bleichrader.

Since the map is military information, the military is involved in its creation.

Every aristocrat does not want to give information on the territory, but the Royal Army secretly sent out people and made detailed maps.

I suppose, though, that the map does not include some minor lords below Eulerenberg.

"In addition, this map is the latest version of this year."

"That's true. Why was it suddenly erased even though it was listed normally until last year? Absolutely! There is too much omission!"

It seems that there are many cases where it is omitted if it is another map, but it should be bad that it is not described in the official version issued by the kingdom government.

The angry Breichrader Margai removes the magic mobile phone and calls a certain person.

"Magic tool for communication!"

"Father, at home, it's not very affordable. Indeed, Breichrader Margin."

"Oh, I saw the thing for the first time."

"I've only seen it once in my hometown as a child."

"Father, great nobleman is amazing."

The aristocrat and small citizens of the aristocrat, along with their butlers, envied the enemies of Breichrader's magical mobile communication device.

"... something goes wrong ... Is it Military Edgar?"

Bleichrader was called to Military Edgar, Chief of Cartography.

Maps are also military information, so their jurisdiction lies with the military.

"It's this year's map of the kingdom ..."

"What is it!

When Breichrader Marshaku talks about the situation, a shouting sound can be heard here as well.

Naturally, the voice was led by Military Lord Edgar, who seemed to have no idea.

"Is there a Count of Bow Meister!

"Yes, beside"

"Come to pick me up!

So I flew to the Royal Castle with "Momentary Movement" and brought Military Lord Edgar with my feet.

Take an accompaniment to a companion noble who trembles like a small animal ...

I was watching.

I want Military Edgar to yell at the government office of the Kingdom House.

And he grabbed the roots of the Hoi noble, who is in charge of cartography.

The spectacle was as scary as the guru's battle scene.

"Misser Viscount! Let me explain what you mean!"

The elder noble, Viscount Meisser, who was brought by me and Military Edgar to the Margrave of Breichrader, had to sit down on the floor of the Eulenberg mansion.

Eurenberg's parents and sons and butlers were prostrate next to them, but ...

"Well, Earl Baumeister. Did they do anything wrong?"

"Um ..."

"My father-in-law, those three are just nervous looking at the ministerial noble who thought they were above the clouds."

Virma, the daughter-in-law of Military Edgar, explained the situation for me.

"Is that so, but it is troublesome because it is the same kingdom noble ..."

It seems that the anger of Military Edgar's anger has fallen due to the humility of Euenberg's parents.

"Well, that doesn't reduce your responsibilities. Viscount Miser"

Military Edgar's anger has disappeared and Viscount Meiser, a sigh of relief, is immediately nailed by Marc Bleichrader.

"Yes ... I understand it ..."

"I hope it is good"

Viscount Miser left out in making the map, which led us to think that the exit of the tunnel was Bleichrader, the outskirts of the border, and connected it.

It wasn't clear whether this would be a crime, but it's true that things have been confused.

After all, the heavy load such as the management of a large tunnel in the noble territory of the population of 300 people.

"Ask me first. Why did this happen?"

There was no great rage as before, but it was murderous in the eyes of Military Edgar, who sought Viscount Miser.

Visible Miser Viscount begins explaining the situation without any particular resistance.

"To reduce costs, change the workshop for creating maps ..."

Maps are harder to print than books, and they change every year due to small changes in terrain, changes in aristocratic territories, changes in the nobility houses governing those territories, and successful surveys on unattained lands.

Since it takes a lot of time and money to make it, Viscount Miser seems to have worked hard to reduce the cost alone.

"It's up to Viscount Miser to take charge of the decision to save money.

"But ... it was a really small mistake ..."

Sure, it's a mistake that you shouldn't mind.

After all, Military Sir Edgar and Breichrader were not even aware of it until they were pointed out.

As long as the Kingdom Government is a collective of humans, you can find as many mistakes as you can.

"But, Miser Viscount was bad."

"Such ..."

Yes, Viscount Miser was bad.

Normally, such a mistake will not result in disposal.

It's a suspicious place that you might notice.

There are few people who don't need to know, such as several small territories surrounded by the Breichrader Frontier Countries.

"Visit Miser will delay the opening of the tunnel, which must of course be heard by His Majesty."

"In your ears?"

"Naturally, the development of the southern county of Baumeister is a tribute to His Majesty. Even though the tunnels that could facilitate it remained in perfect condition, the opening was delayed for this reason. Is it? "

"No ... I don't think ..."

"I'm not officially punishable because I'm not responsible for the lack of checks."

"I have a responsibility that I didn't check properly."

So the miserable Viscount Miser retired from his current position and head.

The official reason is that it is for the purpose of medical treatment due to a major illness.

I was watching myself, trying to be careful, that the aristocrat would be held liable where no ordinary people knew.

"So what do you do?"

"We can't just decide."

"That's right, Earl Baumeister, I'll ask again.

"Yes"

I fly with the burning out Viscount Meisser and Military Edgar, and fly to the royal capital again with "Momentary Movement."

And on his feet, he picked up those nominated by Military General Edgar and returned to Eulenberg's house.

"A large tunnel through the Great League Mountains? I found something good. Count Baumeister."

"Elyse and my son-in-law seem to be fine and above all."

"Count Baumeister, let me see the tunnel later"

"Is this the work of Earl Ischlberg?

Return to the Eulenberg mansion with great people who are interested or interested in the tunnel, such as T. Lookner, Cardinal Hohenheim, Commerce Lörich, and Beckenbauer, research director of the Magic Guild.

"I'm glad she was fine. Tell me about the story after the civil war."

"What is Warren ??"

Warren was among those who brought me.

He's the commander of the Knights of the Guards, so he's not as important to call here.

However, it was indispensable as an escort for those who suddenly appeared here.

Mr. Warren, who appeared, talked to her disciple, El.

He is not a pleasure killer, but he seems to have been envied by his disciples who have achieved their achievements in actual battles.

I was asking you to tell me later.

"If you hear it's a complicated story, it's quicker for your Majesty to come out."

"This is another trick to reduce the hassle. The king is busy, he brought Warren, and there are many elites who have led the Imperial Rebellion to victory. "

"Is your Majesty too ..."

Indeed, Breichrader's outskirts seem to be surprised at his presence.

"Because such a story should be early"

"I'm grateful."

If you are a big nobleman like Breichrader, you're used to talking with your Majesty.

However, there were other high-ranking noblemen in the ministry, high-ranking guild bosses in the central authority, and cardinals of the church, and others who had just reached their homes and had their mental state reaching their limits. .

"You, Lord Eulenberg ..."

"Vell, I've been prostrate a while ago and won't move."

When Elise and Ena pointed out, they turned their eyes and saw the figures of Eulenberg's parents and butlers, sitting prostrate and not trembling.

"I'm sorry ... I saw only great people in one day today ..."

"I don't think this ever happened."

Luise and Vilma were looking at sympathy to Eulenberg's parents, who were still prostrate and did not tremble.

"By the way, Count Baumeister."

"Yes"

"Why are they so humble?"

"Uh……"

"Because the territory is a place, couldn't it be considered such as being able to see your Majesty outside of the raids?"

On behalf of me, Katarina explains the situation.

"I see ... Sir Eurandberg and his son, you can raise your head and make it normal."

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry to have a territory in this place!"

"Sorry for the heir!"

Euremberg's parents were desperately apologizing to His Majesty.

His Majesty is also confused because he doesn't understand.

"No good ..."

These guys have no way of guarding and managing the tunnel.

I decided that it would take some time unexpectedly to settle this case.

"This is a good cup of tea, or maybe a maloimo."

"I'm sorry to say that it's not something you would give to your Majesty ..."

"There is no status in the thing. If it tastes good, the person who served it would be happy."

"Because it is a specialty of our territory"

"I see. This elegant sweetness is just steamed. I like this better than bad sweets."

As the parties concerned gathered, I will continue talking.

The living room of Eulenberg's house is a meeting room, with Warren, El, Ena, Luise, Vilma, Blantaq, and Katarina on the wall, and if an assassin attacks here, it should be sent to the world in an instant It is.

Elise was serving a cup of tea and a steamed maraimo, a tea ceremony, with his wife, Lord Eulenberg.

Compared to Euremberg's parent and child who are obedient to seeing only the big nobles, their wife is friendly with her Majesty.

When it comes to women, women are more courageous in every world.

"But I don't see much on the market."

"Did you know Eina?"

"Yes. It's rarely on the market, but I saw it only once and only heard the name."

It is said that there are only a few places where it is being made, and since it is only in the Eulenberg territory, it only occasionally appears on the market in Breichburg.

It seems that the frequency of entering the market is further reduced around the capital city.

"It's delicious"

"The cultivation conditions seem a little special, isn't it? Sir Eulenberg"

"Yes. You can't cultivate it unless you have a land where the temperature drops in the night and in the morning on a sloping field. Besides, if you use the wrong soil quality or cultivation method, it will not be sweetened."

Eulenberg is bordered by the Major League Ranges.

They are cultivated in the fields created on the slopes, but on the original mountain slopes, flying dragons and Wyverns fly in and do not perform agricultural work.

However, the slopes in Eulenberg are mountain slopes formed after the collapse of the ancient magic civilization, so flying dragons and Wyverns do not fly.

That is why it can be grown, explained Lord Eurenberg.

I'm finally getting used to it, and it seems that Ena doesn't get so humble if she's an opponent.

"Is it limited to the region? It is a valuable item. It is certainly delicious with elegant sweetness."

Lookner Treasurers also seemed to appreciate the taste of the Maraimo.

"Now, back to the tunnel story, Breichrader, what is the nature of this problem?"

"In a nutshell, if the other entrance of the tunnel was at home, I couldn't rub this far."

"Excuse me!"

"That's why it's not the responsibility of Lord Eulenberg ..."

From the perspective of Lord Eulenberg, they are all great people, so they are inexperienced because of their lack of experience.

Naturally because they are the same kingdom noble.

If you leak outside, you will be troubled by the public being rumored to be arrogant.

"The tunnel seems huge"

"Yes"

There are five lanes on each side, and there is an evacuation lane dedicated to broken vehicles.

Lighting and air-conditioning equipment are available, and the power room that moves them is also installed with a huge germicite.

The latest materials and construction methods were used for the walls of roads and tunnels at the time, and if they were properly maintained, they could be used for thousands of years.

"Because there is a limit to transport by magic airships."

"We need to maintain the roads, but it would be nice to have a transport network on land too.

In the Imperial Rebellion, the Air Force recaptured a magic airship due to the example device.

But there is no guarantee that they will not be charged.

If that happens, Military Edgar explains that transport to the Countess of Baumeister will be impeded, so land would be safe.

"It takes some time, but it's much faster and more transport than walking on mountain roads. It's cheaper than a magic airship."

Treasurer Lookner also asserts that the tunnel will be opened early.

"As a magic guild, you can do research even after it's opened. Should it be opened as soon as possible for the kingdom's economy?"

Mr. Beckenbauer, there should be no opposition in this matter.

"There are some problems with opening. First of all, security is essential because things are things."

There is a risk of terrorist acts, such as destroying and closing the entrance.

Even during the ceasefire with peace, the Empire is a virtual enemy.

I could never say that there were no other noble sabotages against the Counts of Baumeister.

"Weird criminals and immigrants don't want to go out of order."

"So both sides need to hire a certain number of guards and keep them on guard at all times. Regular inspections and repairs are also needed."

"The problem of money ... no, it can be compensated for by tolls.

Lookner Finance understands that the number one problem is not money.

"If the toll on the up and down lines is different, it will be confusing, and that's all you have to decide in consultation with Earl Baumeister. One hundred cents each way is enough."

"That's right. If it's that toll, you can expect a lot of users. Are there many newcomers entering the business?"

Increases the breadth and amount of business by participating in those who spend heavily on expensive magic guided airships and those who hesitate on steep mountain roads.

It should benefit the entire kingdom.

"The problem then is that Eurenberg is a small territory."

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry for a small territory!"

Once again, Lord Eurenberg apologizes with Pekopeko.

Everyone was ignoring it because it was unlikely to heal even with caution.

"On a territory with a population of 300, do you guard and manage the tunnels and pay tolls ..."

It can be said that it is virtually impossible.

Some people say it's good to hire new people, but it's almost impossible to hire hundreds of people so quickly that they work well.

After all, Lord Eulenberg ...

He lived modestly while cultivating the fields with the folks, and is a nobleman who is far from the noble statue of the world.

Cutely, he is trying to be forced to fit his height.

The same is true of his son, and he will not be able to do that, or will not be able to.

"Military Edgar, do you manage to get out of the Royal Guard because things are things?"

"Bearmeister, that's good, but the right to the tunnel belongs to the Baumeister family and the Eulenberg family, because we can only give one third."

If you send more troops, it seems that the kingdom has put a beak into the aristocracy's interests, and it seems that it is not governingly favorable.

"One third, about a thousand?"

"Yes."

Taking into account management, repairs, collection of tolls, crackdown on suspicious persons, smuggling, and illegal goods, it is necessary to do so.

You have to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

"It's impossible to hire a thousand new people ..."

It is also difficult for a lord with a population of 300 to immediately control that number.

There is not much money to hire people and there is a place to live them and their families.

Sir Eulenberg was half-eyed, saying that was impossible.

"If this happens, will Breichrader Hakuba get an order?"

"That's not good."

Although small, the Eulenberg family is a noble family.

Not only do you speak to the rule there, but if you actually enter the territory and work, it leads to the bad reputation of Breichrader's frontiers, taking control of other aristocrats and eating them. It seems to be.

"No matter how small your territory is, you shouldn't do that, because there's a troublesome dispute system."

Even if you don't like it, it's taboo to destroy your opponent.

That is why they are having troublesome disputes to adjust their rights.

"Would you like to exchange territories? Exchange Eulerberg territories for territories that are much richer than here."

"It's a territory of the kingdom and I can't speak. If possible, my bad reputation is eel climbing."

Bleichrader, a marginalist, forced the poorly-positioned Eulenberg family to take advantage of the tunnels.

He says that if such bad reputation spreads, it will not be tolerated.

"At the moment, Earl Baumeister has made a great deal of money with his children, and the trouble is still great."

"Then, let's seal the kingdom."

"I can't do that either."

His Majesty himself denied the idea of making this a country under direct jurisdiction.

"It's an attractive idea, but the location is not good."

"Where is the place?"

"Um. I'm surrounded by the Breichrader Frontier Countries. If this were to be evident, some would ridicule the relationship between the kingdom and the Breichrader Frontiers."

"That's right. There's a way to create an unusual tension and aim for your own benefit."

The peaceful situation in the last two hundred years is nothing but lucky, and it doesn't mean that.

I understand that it is made with such considerations as to be the nervousness of the politicians.

"When then ... what should I do?"

"For a while, the magic guild, as well as the magic guild, will check into the tunnel. In the meantime, you'll save time. It's homework to take home."

It can be said that the problem is prolonged, but there is no other way.

The participants of the conference will be open today.

"So, should you buy this maloimo before sending it to Count Baumeister? Warren."

"Hah!"

Under His Majesty's order, Warren issued a wallet to pay Rose.

Immediately, the butler brings a large amount of malaimo in a hemp bag.

In addition, there were many people who purchased.

Of course I'm going to buy it and go home, but “Maroimo would be too popular! "I would think.

If it gets too popular, I can't buy it.

"I'm going to eat it with stone-baked potatoes immediately."

"The bridegroom is still keen on researching new dishes."

"It's a hobby. By the way, how about having a dinner today?"

"I think it's good too, because the eagle's turn needs to be the tunnel opening. Do you have to set up pilgrimage places at both entrances?"

Because it is a tunnel, such facilities and a resident priest are required, including a prayer for safety.

Some people might think of it as a tunnel, but it would be the same in Japan, as politicians and bureaucrats, including interests, are fighting for joy and sorrow.

"Then, buy a maroimo ... Sir Eulenberg?"

"Well, he seems to have talked about the sudden attack of His Majesty and the tunnel ...."

Today, Sir Eulenberg, who had various things in one day, was stunned with his prodigal son sitting on the ground.

We felt like we were doing something awful.
