I’m an Adventurer! ~Musou Skill is Plane Magic~

Episode 189 - Public Officials Are Tough

"Well, first of all, the report on support activities. I heard that the format has not been decided, so I wrote it properly. I've already handed the bill for expenses and so on to the housekeeper."

Show me all of them.

The king rolls the bundle of reports I handed over with a boring face.

We left Raptor Island and returned to the kingdom by air.

I really wanted to go and give my mom a souvenir right away, but as a social worker, I have to finish my work. I'm on official business this time, and I'm a government official called a nobleman. Submitting a report is mandatory when you travel.

I dropped off the wagon directly on Dejima, the entrance to the imperial castle, and let the amazing guards take over with some intimidation, and somehow I met the king again directly. Are you free?

The location is also "Blue Rose Room". At the corner of a large table, me and the king are sitting opposite each other. This is supposed to be a room with only heavy towns... well, there's definitely something we can't talk about at all. I feel like I've done too much to get the Knights of the Guard out of their seats. I hope you don't drag your children into such a backward society.

"Hmm, you're well wrapped up. It is easy to understand the purpose and significance, the results and the details are divided into items. Let's unify it into this format in the future... Thank you. So, what about the back job?

"Yes, this. I've had a hard time watching you.

As a compliment, the king throws my report on the table with a clumsy handwriting. Writing that was a lot of trouble. I think you can take care of it a little bit more. You hate bosses who don't pay attention to things like that.

I give the King another piece of paper that was stuck in his bag. It is rounded, but it is a large piece of paper about A1 size when it is expanded.

The king spreads it to the table with both hands.

"... you're doing well. I only gave instructions around Minora, but it covers almost all of Ende, from the location of the fort to the approximate troop size. I don't even have an army general over there. You made it in the short term."

The King laughs ten times happier than the previous report. But it's a black smile. This is the back mission I was given on this mission, Ende's troop survey and mapping.

In this era of the world, maps are one of the most important military secrets. Information such as city and military bases, street connections, and terrain that can interfere with marches can be very important factors in controlling a battle in times of war. Therefore, maps are not generally available, and they are so hidden that they can be punished if they are made without permission.

Naturally, the military forces of other countries try to look into it, and the heads of state try to hide it. And a fierce intelligence battle.

Even in our support activities this time, actions near military bases were intentionally avoided. Even in the Allies, it's a bad place to be seen.

There are no true friends in the country. Even a good neighbor now doesn't know when to become a vicious criminal psychopath, which is the state. In the previous life, Korea had set Japan as a virtual enemy, but as a nation, it was a natural response. Don't say, "Fraudsters always approach in the mask of a good man." Don't be too vigilant.

You can say that I became the con artist this time. I've been wearing the mask of a good man called support, and I've been robbing him of his secret property. Sorry, wankers. But it was my job, so I had no choice. I was the dog of the country, one!

Of course, the other side was also alert. Grandpa Murdoch was watching me during the day, but the secret came from nowhere at night. But normal surveillance is useless in the face of signs detection and planar magic.

It's not hard to get out of the inn avoiding the sight, because you know where the secret is with signs. I am confident in my ability to hide in the big forest. You should be careful with the smell because the other party is a dog, but if you suck it up in the whirlpool field, you won't remember.

If we get out of here, it's ours. It would not have been possible without more high-ranking wizards, such as capturing high-speed movements in planar magic. I flew around to make a map.

The task itself is simply to shoot the ground with a camera while flying at a constant speed. The number of troops can be easily understood by using sign detection. Rather, it took longer to write it down on this paper. It was dark in the night photos, so it took a while to process the images.

The map thus written shows the terrain, streets, towns and villages on the black line, and the fortifications and army bases and approximate troop numbers in red. Since it is a photo trace, there is little error. A map of this level in this era may also be of value as a work of art. Unfortunately, I can't publish it.

Incidentally, my library of planar magic stores a three-dimensional model that can no longer be called a precision diorama. Because I fly in the sky, I also need a difference in height and height.

However, it may be a useless gift now. After all, there's a god-made map of the world in my head. It is not an exaggeration to say that the autoparts were written on distant continents that are not yet known in this country. Its value as a nation and as a human being is immeasurable. I can't publish it.

No, but God maps are flat, so in some cases my flat magic 3D maps might be more useful? It's kind of confusing.

"The front and the back are more work than expected. You don't look like a kid at all. Here, this is your reward. Don't take it."

If you praise me, you can praise me honestly, but there's always a lot to say, this king. Are you a tunderer? Is there demand?

The king took it out of his pocket and picked up the letter he threw at the desk and spread it. What.....

"As a reward for your contribution to the country,

One is to raise Baron Beat-Face to Baron Ascension and delegate him to Dolton, the kingdom's immediate subordinate. The period shall enter into force immediately and shall continue thereafter until otherwise ordered.

One, give Baron Beat-Face fifty large gold coins. Above "

... what? Dolton's deputy?

"Your Majesty, I know the Ascension and the big gold coins, but what do you mean, Dolton's deputy? That's Bani... Count Dolton territory, isn't it? When did you come under royal authority?...! No way, something for Bunny!?"

Bunny Chanko and Count Dolton were supposed to be playing against Jarkin in the west. Maybe something unexpected happened there!? I only met him once, but he wasn't a bad guy. I was a freak.

"Well, you just got back, and you still don't know the status quo. In order to explain it, we must first explain the situation in the present kingdom and surrounding countries. -It 'll be a long story, but just listen to me patiently. You have nothing to do with it, because you're one of the parties."

The king shook his arm's elbows to the table and began explaining the situation with such a low voice.

First of all, it seems that the situation on the Noran side of the Lute Sea was not damaged by the destruction of the pirate base by me.

The Royal Army, which has finally moved to a reverse offensive, is sweeping the remnants of the pirates north on the coast of the Sea of Lute with a large convoy of ships…. Well, it's a pirate-noran army, so you're wrong.

Noran's moves in response have been slow, with little counter-attack or protest. Apparently there has been a coup d 'état in the capital, and the aristocrats have been busy responding to you… Rather, there are aristocrats who are asking for support for the kingdom to take advantage of themselves. There's nothing but the traffickers, like inviting in troops from other countries. You idiot is everywhere. I wonder how confused you are.

But the coup d 'état is probably because we destroyed the Three Houses, right? I didn't mean to do that... but if you're backing the kingdom, it turns out to be Aurei.

Soon the Royal Fleet will complete its domination of the northern part of the Sea of Lout, so that almost the entire area of the Sea of Lout will be under the control of the Kingdom. Pirate damage will also decrease dramatically in the future.

On the other hand, Jarkin said that a peace treaty was signed about 20 days ago. The truce was broken and the war was over. Was it such a sudden development as soon as I traveled?

Regardless, the Royal Army, which commanded the village chief, Count Dantes-Weissman, attacked the town of Jarkin and its military bases in a furious offensive and proceeded with the army until just before the Imperial Taillord in less than ten days.

Normally, such a ruthless march is not possible, but for some reason (...) each base was already destroyed, so there was no resistance and it was a fast attack. I wonder why.

It seems the ship with the magic equipment caught was useful for transporting troops and supplies. The King was delighted that the second harvest in this series of disturbances was likely to revolutionize logistics if operated peacefully. What's the best part? When I heard it, he stared at me without saying anything and smiled. Ah, is that so? I laughed back vaguely for the time being.

The terms of the rapprochement were the transfer of territory and compensation, all the magic equipment produced by the army and its research materials, and the handover of the military superiors who led the invasion. I burned down the research facilities and materials of the Imperial Capital's military, but I don't think they're the only ones there, so it's better to keep what you get. Well, isn't that reasonable?

It seems that it is difficult to deliver the military leader. Because Croix, the top face, is royal and crown prince, the handover involves Jarkin's tickets, and there is opposition from inside and outside the army. I don't think 'there are any tickets in the losing country', but it seems to be a point that cannot be given away as a country.

If that's the case, General Left, who was the top in the back, seems to have long fled and gone missing. The assassin's reverted black aura. Intelligence also seems to have been keeping an ear, and it will be difficult to catch him.

After all, it seems that only a few executives have been sent by General Tai and General Right, who were only in charge of practical work, and that the handover of the Crown Prince is under negotiation and the search for General Left is difficult. This case seems to be dragging on.

Territorial concessions are likely to be difficult to maintain close to the Imperial Capital, so they have gained access to the Jade Park fort in the middle of the previous border and Imperial Capital. I could have given you all the places I suppressed, but it's humble.

In the newly acquired territory, several local aristocracies that were active in this war were relocated and sealed up, and other aristocracy were relocated to the original vacant territory and became directly under the control of the kingdom.

Some of these nobles included Bani, who was said to have been increased and sealed from around Dorton to the coast of the Lute Sea. Specifically, it was given from the former County of Hexas, mainly Oats, to the former County of Minos. In terms of the size of the territory alone, it is said to be a territory comparable to the three Marquises. Well done, Bunny!

Now it's rough, but Oats is a logistics hub linking King's Land to the Sea of Lute. If the Sea of Lute is stabilized under the Kingdom's control, there is no doubt about its future development. You can trade from the Marquis of Minos to Ende, and if you build the port and secure the flow to Oats, this is also expected to grow significantly. Perfect winner.

"The truth is, Dan is the first prize, so I was going to make him the King of Ascension and increase and seal him. But he was a Vicomte a few months ago, wasn't he? Because it was too soon for the boulders, the grandpa of the interior faction objected to it. So we're going to give it to the second Count Dolton. Instead, I gave Dan 10,000 gold medals and prizes. Do you think it's time we thought about how we could use it in the Territory?

Ten thousand large gold coins is about ten billion yen. It's a lot of money I've never seen before, but it's going to be gone soon if I run a territory. The village of Dantes is still under development.

I'm sure Bunny is the second best, but that's probably not the only reason.

In this war, the "aristocracy" aristocracy who want to strengthen the sovereignty of the aristocracy have often spoken out against their own decline in power in the event of losing. Less than 10% of the troops were sent out.

Therefore, it was only the "royalists" who were trying to concentrate on the royals that were active and increased. Among them, Bani-chan, the leading royalist, has the audacity to suppress the momentum of the aristocracy by giving him power and expanding the power of the royalty. My replacement must have come from the same intention. [M] But...

"It's been a long time since you became a baron, but barons without territory are as accommodating as they can be. Then the lord left Dolton and the deputies in the villages around him, and he practically became Count Ascension. It's a real medal to the first prize, so you're excited?

Eh? Because it looks like it stinks.

"Ahhhhhhhh!?"

The king shouted at you. With blue lines on her forehead, she looks like a weekly Yankee comic book. Are you going to the "other side of the speed"?

'Cause I'm still a kid. I don't think anybody's gonna listen to you when you're a substitute.

"There's no need to worry about that. You're pretty good at your job because you're a vice president of the Adventurers Guild, right? Well, to put it bluntly, it's just a decoration. Sometimes I need you to sign for me as a substitute for work."

The deputy manager, Imelda? He is indeed an excellent man. The lord ruled the city without any problems in his absence during the war. The character is also thick and interesting when it comes to masturbating like a beautiful girl. The receptionist Tamara seems to be calm and competent, and if they can help us, it won't be too much trouble? I might be able to do the job just by signing the papers, and I'll have plenty of time to go on an adventure. Perhaps this is the reward I was thinking about.

Nevertheless, it feels like it is steadily being taken over by the country, and it is also a fact that it is kind of creepy. I don't think I can help living as a nobleman to some extent, but it's still frustrating to decide about me in places I don't know. I want to give you a little something back.

Okay, I'll take care of the deputy.

"Oh, it looks like they're ready for the other side. Ask them for more details."

"Yeah, I will. Then I'm ready to go home."

Oh.

That seems to be the end of the king's story. I'll head for the exit and put my hand on the door.

"Oh, yeah. It was written at the end of the report, because it enslaved the survival of the royal family of the Old Seama dynasty. Now I'm working in a village built in the woods."

"What!?"

"The villagers have already applied for development. And since I've been circulating that information over there (Ende), people from the old Shema kingdom may come from Ende in a while. Don't be a mess, okay? Bye!"

"Oh, wait a minute, kid! Don't leave me in trouble when you leave!! Whoa, wait!!"

It is bad for the king not to look at the report properly until the end. Thank you for your hard work. Close the door between the blue roses ignoring the king's screams.

Well, will you be free now?
