SIDE: Cagra Camisillo
Zapun.
Along with that sound, the water overflows and the flowing sound sounds.
At the same time, comfortable warmth envelops your body.
The name is Bath.
This place we are visiting is Weed's popular bath called Super Money Yu.
"Fu Hi......"
There's a weird voice.
I couldn't afford much when I first did, but now it's the second time, and I can afford my heart, and I honestly enjoy the weed.
……
But the princess next door seems different.
Oh, you've never been a princess before.
Honestly, I'm surprised the princess was playing Dodo, but she's actually super good, and the maid of honor, Kuno, will take care of her, and I'm not particularly concerned about it. Better.
Well, you don't have a choice, do you?
There can't be a facility in Heiden that would waste so much hot water.
I, the Duke's Lady, or even the princess, can't take a bath every day.
Or you don't feel the need to go in so hard.
A bath of water is enough, and even if you use hot water, you need to put hot water in a finely drilled barrel and use it less as a shower.
Even if it's soap, it's a luxury product.
It just doesn't seem the same in Weed.
That's it, right? You can't because you think exotic and your own culture are the same.
All you have to do is think this is common sense.
Or have a full taste of the struggle I had the first time I came to Weed.
This is about as good as it sounds because I've been swept up scattered so far, and I have resentments that have been made almost completely naked.
Oh, speaking of which, I need to give Yuki her clothes back.
With that in mind, Lady Rats came to the side.
Style is pretty much on par with me, but for being tall, you look so cool.
"Unlike princesses and maids, Kagra seems to be able to afford it."
"It's the second time."
"Oh, speaking of which, you did."
"But dinner surprised me. There are so many different types of pasta."
Yeah, yeah.
In a place called Pasta Specialty, guided by Laz, there was a type of pasta that was not countable with one hand, but lacked both hands.
"Well, it depends on the region."
"Place?"
"That's right. The pasta itself is made of wheat, but its arrangement, utensils and flavourings will be readily available in the region. For example, if the ocean is close, it feels like a pasta of sea pleasure, and if the mountain is close, it feels like a pasta of mountain pleasure."
"I see. You serve pasta from various regional specialties in stores."
"Of course, the cook is seasoning it so it's a proper product."
No, boulder weed.
The fried chicken was delicious, as was the bread.
Food culture is also an overwhelming defeat.
Well, I'm not saying the locals taste bad, because they don't look different.
With that in mind, the bewildered princess awoke and came into this conversation.
"La, Lady Rats. I know it's cheap and with ingredients that are unique to the region, but if you try to cook similar dishes in the region alone, in the distance, it's transportation costs, etc., and more importantly, the ingredients themselves can't withstand long distances of transport? How do you solve them?
Huh?
No, Princess, I asked what you were talking about and I answered before Laz answered.
"There's a gate, isn't there, Princess?"
"Gate?"
"Is that it? I told you, right? Using the gates, Weed said he was mediating with other countries, while also managing the logistics using the gates. You see, like Bide, it's easy to get to and from the gate."
"Exactly. There is no transportation cost because there is logistics using the gate, and food can be transported in before it is damaged."
……
A princess who solidifies again before my and Master Ratz's answers.
"Ha!? One, I mean, does that mean that extra food can be sold off, where there is little food?
"Right. There's a lot of exports to make that kind of financial resources."
"In that case, famine and other measures will also be taken..."
"You can. Because it is also a coalition for that time. When things go wrong, countries work together to support countries where problems have arisen. Well, there's also the purpose of monitoring each other."
"... well, then you have to be so unprepared to wage war. Every country in the Union will be enemies."
"That's the thing. There will be no better security for a small country."
"Even as a big country, we can reduce armaments at our borders, and diplomacy is easy if we can easily travel to and from other countries. Ideal if you don't want to win..."
The princess is finally right, too, and she recognizes the technique of Weed's gate, or she seems to be using her head to make use of it.
But before I do, I'm forgetting something important.
"Princess, Princess"
"What is it, Kagra? Now I'm thinking a lot to build friendship with Weed?
"No, we have to do something about Yuki first, we can't do anything about it, can we?
……
My red-dyed face turns bright white all at once on hot water to my words.
Wow, people's complexion is something that changes so easily so far.
That's fine. We're the ones who kidnapped Weed's king's wife, the core of that coalition, right?
Do you know where it is?
I'm sure I looked the same way, staring at the princess who was turning white.
Instead of friendship, evil, war is one step ahead of us, isn't it?
Weed, this is a nightmare about dealing with the Union, even though one country alone is out of hand, right?
Whatever you think, Heyden will be wiped out, won't he?
"... what should I do?"
"No, the princess has to think there. Because I'm not in a position to speak out to the government."
"Isn't Kagra an accomplice who caught Yuki too?"
"Though an accomplice, I only followed the princess's life."
Good luck with your upcoming negotiations with Weed.
I am the second daughter of the Duke's family.
As a duke, it's your father's job, and originally, I know from looking at Yuki's attitude so far that our Duke family won't be that bad because it's not that bad about the first generation, but let's throw it away here.
Since the princess has made me struggle with it so far, I think it would be nice to return the interest here.
And, as I am determined to be mean inside, Lady Rats opens her mouth with a laugh.
"Ha. You don't have to panic that far. Well, your brothers got caught, but fortunately, they're safe, and there's no benefit in losing your country."
"Why? Is it not beneficial? Wouldn't it be a good idea to attack with a big name all the time here?
"Weed isn't after the championship in particular. There's a gate in the first place, so you don't have to take the method of screwing other countries with your power. It's troublesome to rule after that even if you control it. If you're going to be such a hassle, you should develop your own country in the right harmony, right? No matter what the war is, it's only going to make the country weak."
"... is that what you mean? Already, you don't have to go out of your way to risk having a system where national security is adequately safeguarded. If you want to consume your people in war, you should use it to develop your country."
"Instead, it's going to work in the Union, so if you drop another country, you can split it it."
"Oh, even in that sense, it's hard to wage a war of aggression"
"Yeah. Whatever the defense is, it's going to pull each other's legs when it comes to aggression, because there's a treaty that once a hostile country smashes its hub, it's going to have its representatives decided in that country and rebuilt it again. Because I don't want to spend money on rebuilding a devastated country on purpose."
"If we incorporate it into our own country, are we going to have it rebuilt ourselves because it is visible that we will be indebted"
I see.
You don't have an immediate income from just getting territory, and land taken from enemies is more of a downside, is it?
There are no people, and the building is worn out, and you're not happy to get a place like that.
It's the same as the emerging aristocrats saying that they get territory in remote areas and hi-hee with talent and financial flows.
Does that mean the country is the same?
Then rebuild the country again and good luck over there. So.
"And well, this is Weed or the coalition's totality. That's not how Weed makes unscrupulous demands on Heiden. Not to mention, you're just going to have more work over here to do, like knock it off. Please don't do this any more."
"… but you will need compensation, etc."
"Right. This is not a good thing to do. Well, please talk to me there during your visit with Her Majesty the Queen of My Weed. We'll have seats tomorrow."
"... ok"
"And it's time to go up. I'll put it up."
Like that, I think about getting out of the bath and drinking coffee milk.
Her Majesty the Queen of Weed?
What the hell is he like?
He's one of Yuki's wives, and the Weed people admire him pretty much, and he's a very sweet woman?
There's so much room for discussion, I know you're a decent guy, so don't worry about that much, okay?
... and there were times when I thought.
I said, no, we, the members of Heiden, took some time off at the inn, and the next day, early in the morning, I went to see her with Her Majesty.
"Welcome, Heiden people. I am the queen of the weed, Sellaria."
KING!!
Standing in front of me making such a noise was a woman who felt a bit like kindness, a different classification, a samurai.
Because I wore a half-plate armor and appeared in this glimpse with my sword on my hips.
Moreover, he deliberately pulls out every sheath of sword he was wearing, holding it in the front and replacing it with a cane.
There was also a tingling atmosphere surrounding her.
But even with that attitude, I sensibly knew I was royal because I could see proper hegemony and elegance.
"This time we bestow upon you the honor of worship and we are in the ultimate state of delight."
That's what your father says, and I'll start with a normal greeting.
"So, what brings you to this weed? Do you understand your position?
Yes, Her Majesty said, the air got tight at once.
It was only Her Majesty the Queen, whether the tingly atmosphere was contagious around, and anger overflows from other soldiers and maids.
After all, you're naturally angry.
In that extreme tension, it was the princess who opened her mouth on behalf of your father.
"... I know. Your Majesty, Seraria, because of my inadvertent summons, I have taken your country, His Majesty's companion Yuki and his family, to Bide, my Heiden."
"There's something quite wrong with the way I put it, on the contrary, that I took him. That's a fine kidnapping, I should at least say I took it away. Quote, I hear the purpose was to make you stand on the arrow side of the battle. Is it normal in your country to kidnap people from other countries and shame people who don't know anything about it?
"... nothing like that"
"Then why is my husband still busy standing around there!!
……
"... your husband has heard of the situation. But, but. Because the present state is, for one thing, the warmth of my husband. If it's normal, it's no wonder we've already crossed paths with your country."
Right.
As Her Majesty said, if you can't believe you're using it to grab a royal family, it's a situation that's not so strange to be at war.
"What kind of compensation does Heyden intend to make to Weed, who is using my partner as if he were his hands and feet, without even decent ties to this national traffic?
Thus, Her Majesty pulls the sword out of her sheath, which was replacing her wand, and points her sword tip at the princess.
"Depending on the response, we will drop the princess's neck here, and my weed declares war against your country, Heyden. Think about it, mouth it."
What, that?
Doesn't this situation taste worse than I thought?
Hey, Weed didn't have the advantage of starting a war!? Yuki, Lady Rats!?
Hih, Princess, Chan, please make a proper sincere apology!!
"... Unfortunately, Your Majesty..."
And the princess never opens her mouth.
May it be a futuristic response for us….
