Herscherik (Reincarnated Prince Series)

"Ah, good evening, Mr. Crowe.

Hershelik, the seventh prince of the Kingdom of Gracis, who turned four this spring, greeted the intruder, who is not an exaggeration to say that he was already familiar with his face.

It's also like talking to the old chi, who just met me on the side of the road, but the place is the Knights arsenal and time is about to go around late at night.

"I work late at night.

Yes, Hershelik bows to the intruder with a peck and just goes back to his work.

(I just thought you wouldn't be here...)

It was six months earlier when he met the prince, the intruder and what the prince unilaterally named Cro. The child is growing faster, and his height and growing face are gradually falling out.

Why is he watching the Prince grow so much? That's because Crowe has broken into the royal castle many times over the course of six months. At one point, I received a request to gather information, so at one point, I received various requests in the back guild to collect false evidence from a certain nobleman, and sneaked into the royal castle at night. By the way, this is a request to deliver a letter to a certain lady's adulterer. Because the opponent was a knight, he broke into this building adjacent to the Military Department and adjacent quarters and warehouses.

But when I peered into the armory and saw signs, the little shadow was moving a little bit. It's this castle that does that, and he's the only seventh prince I met that night.

For now, head to the room of the adulterer's knight and insert the letter inside through the door gap. Tomorrow morning, the adulterer who received the letter will surely bluish his face, but that's not what Crowe found out. Returning to the arsenal again, the prince was glaring with notes with a difficult face.

(Wherever this prince has been lately, it has taken for granted......)

At one point, the treasury's material vault, at one point, the police station's chief's office, and at another time, the royal castle's food vault... It's strange to think that Crowe is breaking in, but we meet in a place that makes us want to ask why we meet in such a place. Because it is not a normal toddler's range of activities or time, but it is always bowled together in unexpected places, this is the chrome that I have been feeling normal lately.

Now to see how Crowe was doing, apparently the Prince of the Day was like an arsenal inventory survey. Hershelik checks his handmade notes, but apparently he's lurking his eyebrows because everything doesn't fill.

"I knew it wouldn't fit...... just late delivery or false?

"What's wrong?

Crowe speaks from behind the prince twisting his head. He looked up at Crow in surprise.

"Mr. Crowe, are you done with your work? For once I ask, it's not a bad thing for the country, is it?

"Oh. Well, it would be a bad thing for them.

Urging marriage from an adulterer would be an unparalleled bad thing. I put my hand on a married man in the position of knight. There is no future as a knight if we don't put an end to it somehow.

"Then no.

Hershelik is not otherwise interested unless it is to avenge his country, his father, and his family. I didn't think Crowe would talk easily when I questioned that.

Besides, Crowe's work hasn't had much of an impact over the past six months, and he doesn't have the help to stop it because he's making it work himself.

Hershelik lost interest in Cro's work early and decided to figure out his current challenges.

"Mr. Crowe, just tell me what's common. Delivery of weapons and equipment is a time consuming thing?

"It depends. Sometimes it takes time because what the Knights and Army use will be somewhat good.

"…… for four months?

Crowe answered the Prince's question silently.

It was a waste of time even though Crowe's mood was silent that delivery was just so slow.

Hershelik also takes that silence as an affirmation.

"Payment has been made, but delivery is now. None. No signs of use…………………………"

(Whatever it is, it's a false deal. Thank you so much.

Hershelik weakens. The more we look at it, the more we find stray payables and suspicious applications that are common to the facts.

(If it was a normal company, it would be bankruptcy......)

Tax revenues and treasury still outweigh each other, so much so that the Treasury doesn't seem to see it as a problem. No, maybe the Treasury missed it. Plus, he might think I should give you tax revenues.

In the past six months, Hershelik looked around and said, "Assault. It's an internal audit of its own accord." Hershelik had found more or less suspicious points in each department.

It was just the administrative skills, experience, and intuition I developed when I was Ryoko.

(There is too little experience and information in this world.

Maybe the suspicion I felt is legitimate. Besides, your bureau says in every world, "Do you need that? It's no use, is it? I have a job to do.

So if we don't fill in the difference as soon as possible, Hershelik thinks.

"Mr. Crowe, I need a favor.

"Is………?

(What I need is experience and knowledge in this world. So maybe it's time to move on to the next phase.

Hershelik, who looked up at the clo and did the trick of tilting his neck, smiled very, very cutely.

The first time I came to Castle Town was very busy. Shops are lined up here and there, and there is a powerful voice calling in customers.

(This is Castle Town!

Hershelik looked around like you.

The clothes I was wearing were somewhat more elegant than they always came. I asked Meliá to make clothes that could be dirty. Bring a poncho with a hood from the top of your clothes to hide your face. I don't care what you think of the children of Castle Town, but if you think it's a good place to be, it's all hail.

The other day, Hershelik asked Kuro to teach him the way out to Castle Town.

There's no way he can easily come and go to and from the royal castle where the bond is supposed to be, just because he's an armed snitch. Hershelik glared that he knew the secret and safe route.

Hershelik threatens to persuade Kro, who blocks the suggestive language……… to try to persuade him.

"When we first met, I helped, didn't I?

"... no, that's offset because you gave me information afterwards, right?

"Plus then you told me where the paperwork was, right? If I hadn't told you, it would have taken longer, wouldn't it?

Ultimately, Crowe raised the white flag. Because I found out Hershelik wouldn't give up on any kind of saying no. And it was a rift between multiple off-site and commutable junctions, and he taught me where Hershelik could pass.

The location is behind a building with a lab or library. In that place, which is also shaded by trees, there were waterways that were not currently in use. No one cared about the place, and the height and breadth were accessible to adults if they bent their hips and children if they stood.

The entrance was fitted with an iron lattice, but the iron lattice came off when I twirled around where I was taught, and I could afford to go through it if I was as physical as Hershelik. Waterways that have already withered and been abandoned for decades have no moisture and no smell to worry about. And the exit also turned the iron lattice as taught, and I was able to leave the premises. Beyond it was also shaded by the trees, which were not noticeable.

(I don't have class this afternoon, and she said she was going to the library with Meliá, so I'm fine.

Even if he was searched, Hershelik thought about playing hide-and-seek at a secret base, and rolled out to Castle Town for the first time.

(Prices are lower than in Japan......?

Hershelik looks at the price tags written in stores, compared to previous lives.

Red fruit sold, for example. In previous life, the fruit known as apples was ten copper coins in this world. Then there are fifty copper coins for any of the clothes at the cheap sale of the clothes store. Assuming that a copper coin is worth about ten yen, a hundred yen of apples is considered a good deal.

(But one fifty copper coin is purchased for the castle. Five times the market price. Amount too unnatural.

Is that unusual profit disappearing into someone's nostalgia?

When Hershelik was about to sink into the abyss of thought, the noise of a disturbing noise echoed the market.

"Hey, again?

"Yeah, apparently the guys at the police station are wearing it.

My husband, who is a grocery store right next door, asked the person on the road.

"Right now, the Police Department and the Commercial Guild are in trouble. Poor Fruit Shop wife... They wanted to stop by because they don't have a husband today..."

Without asking to the end, Hershelik goes for the center of a noisy place for a small run.

Through the hedge of a man, struggling with a small body, but coming from the crowd, the red fruit almost hit the ground.

"Please stop!

A woman's screaming voice sounds.

She was a very healthy and attractive woman, who would be in her early thirties. He's a worker. His skin is tanned, and his hands stretched out of his sleeve seem to be heavy enough to carry. However, the puffiness characteristic of a woman had a lingering fragrance. It was the beauty of a working woman opposite to her father's daughters.

But she was now surrounded by three police officers and distorted by a bitter expression.

"But, ma'am. You can't leave the product over the determined premises.

"I didn't put it down!

"But I saw that we kept it.

"I guess you guys are just saying! Evidence that it was there!?

The three men are laughing slightly at the woman's voice.

"So do you have proof that you didn't put it the other way around? In this case, it would be better to ask a third party for their opinion. Does anyone in here testify that you haven't crossed the premises?

Officials at the police station looked around, but the rallying horses shifted away from looking at each other. No one is named. Nobody wants to get involved.

(Woohoo, what a promise......)

Hershelik sighs sneakingly. I didn't expect to see such an easy-to-understand and disgusting three-sentence play.

A police station is a department that maintains internal security. When it comes to Japan, it's called the police.

Originally, even if it wasn't Hershelik, there would be a sigh of sighing at the unsatisfactory actions of officials to protect citizens.

People around you don't want to get involved or never try to help. It's true that sympathy doesn't want us all to get anywhere near danger.

"You can find out more at the station, right? Well, if you'll show me your sincerity... hey?

(What's more, a bribery request……)

With the corruption of officials in sight, Hershelik held his head in his heart. What do you think of royalty when the officials most involved in the people are this? Even thinking is horrible.

Employees are the face of the company.

That's what they said at work in my previous life. If one employee makes a good impression on the customer or supplier, it leads to trust in the company and therefore profit. And vice versa. Sometimes the company leans because of the actions of a single employee.

State officials, even at the end of the line. The credibility of the people cannot be gained by officials doing this.

Besides, Hershelik didn't make sense, he hated people who did this before he was reincarnated.

"Sister! I'm here to buy some today!

Hershelik jumped out of the hedge vigorously while removing his hood and smiled with a well-groomed and nostalgic smile.
