I Favor the Villainess

The damage from the eruption of the Sassal volcano was immense.

A third of the members of the House of Lords were dying and Congress was on the verge of stopping functioning, but it barely kept functioning due to the fact that the chancellor was alive and that the dollar wielded a spicy arm.

The first thing Parliament discussed, which restored some functionality by filling the vacancy with its blood, was who would succeed the late His Majesty Roseille?

Naturally, it was thought that Lord Rod, the first heir to the throne, would be chosen as the next king, but the key Lord Rod has been missing since just before the eruption.

According to his entourage, Master Rod went to the village at the foot of Mount Sassal to convince his own inhabitants to go and call for evacuation.

He gave up when he talked to me about the village, but he was doing his job right.

(But the timing sucked)

Perhaps Master Rod was caught in the eruption.

I'm not sure about its cheapness, but when I look at the fact that even now, five days after the eruption, I haven't heard from him, it's hard to believe that he's safe.

Parliament disputed, but the fact that things were in urgent need led to a flow to reinstate Master Sein.

Because it was obvious that it was almost impossible for a king to survive this crisis while he was vacant in the political form of kingdom.

But...

"Really... what is your father thinking..."

Lady Claire's voice echoed the room, including frustration.

Lady Claire and I were in Lady Claire's room at the Royal College.

Lady Claire, seated in her chair, is reading the newspaper with a crease on her eyebrow.

Lady Claire wanted to pursue the dollar illegally, but she only had it in her case.

For better or worse, Mr. Dollar is a competent politician.

I persuaded him that he could not lack the dollar now...

"What does it say?

I was hesitant to speak up, but Master Claire could erupt if I stayed this way.

I asked Lady Claire, who thought it was necessary to drain the gas because you could hit me.

"Master Sein's reign is in flux," he said.

When Lady Claire told her to throw up, she left a bunch of newspapers unattended.

I look through too.

There, as Claire said, there was no more talk of Sain reign.

Instead there was an article about the Rod-like aristocracy, starting with the Dollar, running the regime.

"The kingdom's sovereign is a king until he's full of it. What the House of Lords should do is elect the next king as soon as possible."

Lady Claire sees teeth.

The paper's arguments were pretty much the same as Master Claire's.

Some of them even have newspapers that say coup by nobles.

Of course, not all nobles are convinced by the current flow.

However, it was painful that many of the members of the House of Lords died as a result of the eruption to the Sains and Eugenites.

It is also significant that many of the Eugenites have been saddled with the Rod-like due to the loss of Eugenites' legs, and that the Sains were originally the smallest force.

And most importantly, the key rod is missing.

It can also be said that the maximum forces are losing control.

"Now is the time for the country to come together and face national disaster. People are confused by anxiety."

As a result of the volcanic ash and volcanic shells caused by the eruption, the crops around Wangdu were slaughtered.

There has also been a buyout in anticipation of a shortage of goods, and prices continue to soar around Wangdu.

Dear Dollars, the Interim Government - calling itself - also provides rations, but also how long it will hold.

Of course I knew this flow as a knowledge of the game.

It was unexpected that the date and time of the eruption had accelerated significantly, but we knew that political turmoil and price hikes would soon occur.

Naturally, I didn't do anything.

I had stockpiled the private wealth I had accumulated in Bloomee through the Thule Chamber of Commerce - that Mr. Hans' Chamber of Commerce that stopped in front of the vacation - in exchange for food.

I tried growing potatoes that were still ornamental in this world as edibles, and I also tried to pick up and grow soba that grew on lean land.

I also tried to announce seaweeds in the kingdom that were not customary to eat from Blume as salads.

Rumors also spread about a volcanic eruption as the wrath of the Spirit.

But what I could do was to that extent.

Volcanic eruptions are a catastrophe and are inherently a total force at national level to resist.

It is known that Japan, a volcanic power in the twenty-first century, can do things to a little girl who just knows it will happen a little in advance to catastrophe that even if she cites the country and strikes measures, she will still not catch up.

Of course, there's still work to be done.

"Ray, give me a heads-up. Lady Sayne will see you."

"... Isn't it difficult"

"Why not!

Roughing up my voice like Lady Claire had an eclampsia in my answer.

It's been a long time.

"Lady Claire is the son of Dollar, who is enclosing Lady Sein. From the point of view of the Sains, you're in a position to resent the enemy."

"... Gu"

If it was the original Claire, it would have been something she noticed without having to be pointed out to me.

Again, Master Claire is not in good shape.

"Dear Claire, you shouldn't think too much of it. From the eruption, Master Claire is working too hard."

Though there has been parliamentary turmoil and soaring prices, the state has still not lost control, for one thing, because Dear Claire's initial instructions immediately after the eruption were accurate.

It would not have been strange whenever the shape of the country had been lost if the elements so far overlapped, such as the eruption of the volcano, the disappearance of Chancellor Suras, the death of His Majesty Rosseille, the vacancy in the House of Lords and soaring crops.

It was Claire who stopped it on the water.

Of course, it was only with the back shield of Master Dollar, but I have no doubt that Master Claire's own judgment was excellent.

"I did what I had to do. And yet your father hasn't done what he needs to do."

Dollar-like behavior seems incomprehensible nowadays to Claire, who has a solid ideal image of what it is like to be noble.

In newspaper articles, there was even speculation that the dollar would usurp kingship on this occasion.

A father who was supposed to have been ideal was allowed to make such rumors, and Master Claire couldn't have been fine.

"Master Claire is doing everything she can. You should be able to rest a little now. You've been asleep most of the last few days."

The shade was also visible in Master Claire's basket of flowers.

Your skin is rough and you even have a neighborhood under your eyes.

Because I didn't have time to take my favorite bath, so much so that I kept moving with my insomnia rest.

Seriously, it's not a good idea to get flustered just because you're competent and have a lot of capacity.

"I'm still fine. I'm fine, but..."

With that said, Lady Claire came up to me and deposited her body.

"... but just a little, I'm tired. Can you just let me do this for a second?

"Ku, Master Claire!?

"I'm glad Ray's here. I was so crushed by myself."

I was surprised by Master Claire's abrupt behavior.

"Dear Claire, are you okay? No, you're not okay. It's okay to be sweet to me, Claire."

"It's dele. Is this how you want to use it?

"Uh, it's not a mistake..."

What's the matter? Suddenly.

"There are times when I want someone to sweeten me. I used to get this from Lene."

"... oh yeah"

You're not a lover thumping.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm not complaining because this is useful.

"Being a nobleman is one of my prides, but sometimes... sometimes really, but sometimes I dream of trying to be free from this sense of duty"

"Isn't that a good thing? Let's not be noble."

"That's not how it works. I've been allowed to be extravagant because I've been required to work during these events."

"You're tough, Master Claire."

Well, that's the kind of Claire I like.

"Then you can tell me as bullshit. If you are no longer a nobleman, is there anything you want to do?

"... right..."

Master Claire thought about thirty seconds before answering.

"I'd like to learn to cook and sew."

"That's an unexpected answer. You mean like a civilian like that?

"Thank you for your help. If you're no longer a nobleman, that's all you can give back."

I turned my eyes black and white in surprise again.

"What, that face? Oh, I haven't had a bath in days, have I? Can you smell it?"

"No, not at all. Rather smells good."

Simply surprised by Lady Claire's unexpected words.

"You lied. It's a good opportunity to take a bath."

"Yes."

We headed for the bath, but the water temperature didn't seem to stabilize due to the eruption, and the dorm hot springs were banned from use.

"Ah, already!

"How do you do, Master Claire?"

When I deceived Claire, I made Claire wait in her room, carrying a bucket of hot water into the room and wiping her body with a hand tug.

Brushing up my white magnetic skin, I think.

(This is where the battle comes from. Unless you guide Master Claire well)
