I’m an Adventurer! ~Musou Skill is Plane Magic~
Episode 216 - Party Break
Host the ship to the pier on Dejima, which leads to the royal castle, and take the loaded barrels to the guard knight. The total number of barrels brought in this time is 20. Ten barrels are dedicated to the royal family, and eight barrels for today's event tomorrow. The remainder of the lid barrels are for the Knights of the Kimikaze, who work hard to protect them during the event. I don't think we're going to make it through with just two barrels, but I want you to think this is a comfort to the unfavourable faces that were assigned guard duties early in the year. I gave it to the knight in charge, and he thanked me with the most courtesy.
Actually, this is also part of the shochu publicity campaign.
The aristocracy will be promoted by us to merchants and wealthy people at upcoming events, but Toneriko and Vincent would like to spread shochu to the general public if possible. However, the current production volume is not so large, so it is expected to be a premium product that can only be obtained in a limited number of layers for a while. Even the wealthy people will not be able to do anything about it.
The average wealthy person is still a state official who serves the country. In other words, the bureaucrats, the knights, the so-called celebrities.
Because bureaucrats have connections to merchants and wealthy people, they shouldn't have to advertise in particular. Economic circles and bureaucrats are bound together in every country, from time to time. I've never heard of any exceptions.
On the other hand, the coup d 'état has been overhauled, and the Knights are almost in a new state. You can think of fewer bonds with the wealthy. But it is a powerful seller of alcohol. I can't separate manual labor from alcohol. If you do well, you will become a big customer. There is no reason not to advertise.
"Absolutely, I think about it. Why don't you be a merchant? I appreciate the expansion of our sales channels."
"Eh? I'm a casual adventurer."
"Ordinary adventurers, they're not always easy next to danger, are they?
"Well, then, an unusual adventurer."
"... I see. That's the same as it is now."
Something about a sigh of relinquishment from the Vicomte. No, I don't specialize in business. I'm the creator.
While talking about that, he guided his servant who was waiting for him to leave the island to go to the event venue of the royal castle. Um, was it during the "response period"? It's an area I've never been to before. It is quite far away from the view and the blue roses. This is an administrative area, and this is an event area. It's also reasonable in terms of security.
On the way to the long, ornately decorated corridor, which twisted corners and corners several times, was a large, fairly heavy doorway. Inside, you can hear the signs of a crowd called gayagaya and the sounds of stringed instruments (lutes) and whistles (fives) that the band may be playing. Apparently, this is the middle of a struggle.
The servant who guided us so far whispered something to one of the knights on either side of the door and turned back the way he came to thank us. I wonder if I can guide the next customer.
"Welcome, Countess Weissman and his wife, as well as Baron Face and his companions!
The knight who was being whispered opens the door with the other knight, announcing our visit in a loud voice. I see. Did you take over the ear slap just now?
When the door opened, the faint music overflowed with a louder sound pressure than expected. The doors and walls seem to be thick there.
The stone room is quite large. Maybe there's a gym in a little big high school? The ceiling is also high and has a loose arch shape. Some of the chandeliers hung up seem expensive in another sense. It's not glass, it's crystal, right? Each color is subtly different.
In that hall, some of you in glorious costumes split into groups and laughed... Now a lot of people are looking at us and whispering to Hisohiso. I feel uncomfortable because it seems to be worth it.
Just as the music separated, the silence fell on the venue for a moment, but soon the next song began. As if it was a sign, our attention was cut off and the chat resumed.
"Never mind, it's the usual. Many nobles in King's Landing are exclusive."
"Really? I thought everybody was socializing because they were socializing."
"Indeed. It's ironic."
The Vicomte smiles bitterly.
Everything seems to be gathered at the New Year's Festival by a relatively large number of aristocrats living near King's Landing. Well, from afar, there's a danger of being attacked by monsters and bandits. Without a large aristocrat with a large private army, I can't even get to King's Landing. And since most such great aristocracy are aristocrats, they rarely appear at royalty-sponsored events, and they end up sending congratulations.
Most of the nobles who live near King's Landing are court nobles, that is, nobles who work in the royal castle without any territory. He inherited the position from generation to generation and lived in the Loc. It seems that many court nobles are relatively wealthy because they also receive separate pensions as nobles. Shochu is a promising vendor. I'll do it for you.
That's why it seems that many people stick to that position. They say they are vigilant and exclusive to emerging nobles who may threaten their position. I see.
Well, don't worry about it. I am not at all interested in serving as a royal castle. I'd rather avoid it. After all, there is no place in King's City where Wu and the others can go for a walk or hunt as much as they want. There is no way to live in such a place. Dog lovers are dog-centric no matter what they think.
On the other hand, it seems that the participants of the aristocracy in a few territories are super-social. Especially against the wizard, which is why my partner Jasmine's sister came around. Be sure to get rid of it.
Get a drink from the service that tours the venue and move to the corner of the venue. When I asked the other aristocrats if I didn't have to greet them, the Vicomte told me that I should just greet the royal family today. If I speak ill, I will soon be caught up in factional strife in the royal castle.
Faction fights are not superficial royalty and aristocracy, they are more subtle power fights within the imperial castle. Previously on "The Opposition", it wasn't a factional struggle, it was a factional struggle within the party. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no I wonder if that's the species nature of humans.
When Jasmine and Ginger thought they were so quiet, they both ate the dishes on the plates silently. When did that happen?
There are cooks in several places near the walls of this hall who cook a lot on the spot. Looks like I got a lot from there. It's a pile of meat. Really, when?
"I mean, we're both just talking about things that look like trouble. I'm hungry."
"Isn't there an opportunity to eat dinner at the royal castle? I have to eat it when I can."
Her mother and daughter smiled and didn't stop the fork from moving. Parents and sons of the like? Yeah, I'm a parent-child. Jasmine and Ginger are very similar in appearance and character. When Ginger's hair turns red and taller, she becomes Jasmine's sister. Here, a red-haired and even taller Vicomte makes the parent-child relationship obvious. I'm not the only one with a blood connection, so I feel alienated.... I'll play with my father at home when I'm done with my business in King's Landing.
"Ahhn, Dan, Beat, it's been a long time!
"This is Count Dolton, have you come? I'm out of time."
"Yahn, you're calling me" Baby ”, Dan ♥"
A slightly naughty oneness (...) in a flashy vermilion dress with long silver hair comes to us with a cat's voice. The Vicomte's cheeks twitched to a wink that sounded like 'Vatican!' The former lord of Dorton, "Bunny," Count Bernard-Dorton. It now reigns in the eastern part of Lute Hainan with a change of territory. The size of the territory is no less noble than the three marquises.
On the waist of the dress hangs a spear wrapped in the same vermilion ribbon as the dress. The Count is dressed up with a spear. You're keeping the dress code.
"Beet hasn't seen you in a while ♥ You've grown up before. Oneechan, I've changed your diapers before. Remember?
"Thank you for taking care of that passage. The Count is still coming to the ceremony tomorrow?
"Nh! Dan and Beat are both bad! That's right, the Atashi led us to the Lute Sea, so we can't just leave. I haven't figured out the territory yet!
When you pass the bokeh naturally, your cheeks swell up and become infidel. I think the contents are from the sandaichi crossing, and it feels a little dull.
It hasn't been that long since Bunny was transferred to her current territory. It is a larger territory than before and has a larger number of towns and villages. It is true that it takes time to figure out the territory. In addition, many towns and villages have been raided by pirates. It would not be a pleasant situation to let go, even if it were to be transferred to a vast territory.
Furthermore, the current Norwegian government is not functioning in the civil conflict, and the Kingdom is taking control of the entire Sea of Lout due to the chaos. Inevitably, the management will also come under pressure from the coastal lord, Bunny. I can't imagine what it would be like to be a baron after all that trouble. I'm sorry to hear that.
That's why it seems that this time Bani climbed the castle with only a minimal escort. Ministers and wives (!) She said she works in the territory. There you are, wife and child! It's the biggest stutter in recent years!! Was this makeup and dress deceptive after all?
When I asked if it was necessary to join a partner, I was told, "It's fine because I'm alone." The answer was as if I didn't know. I see.
Anyway, I know a few people, and even one of them is a comfortable ally in Away. Maybe Bunny felt the same way.
While introducing Ginger and Jasmine, who are going to meet for the first time, I squash time while chatting.
At this reunion, it seems that in the normal course of the year, the king's family appeared at the venue before evening, and in front of the participants, they said their New Year's greetings and ambitions and dissolved. I mean, I can't go home until then. Since the time is still past noon, you must wait at least an hour more at the venue. It was really good to have someone to talk to.
Yeah, maybe Bunny was worried about us.
If it were just me and the Vicomte, the nobles in the other realm might have come to solicit me. Having territory means having a title higher than that of a Vicomte, which means more than that of a Vicomte. If it had been the Count, he might have despised the Vicomte with a high-handed attitude wearing a hat.
But if you had a good count, Bani, you wouldn't be that strong. Normally, no one from each Marquis will attend this meeting, so no one should have more titles than Bunny. I mean, it's the strongest shield I've ever seen.
Maybe he's the Count because he's so attentive. Or should I be able to think and act like a Count? Nobles are tough. It's not other HR.
In that way, when the Count and Banny were talking about territory management and "there are borders", I felt some sign of someone approaching us. It's a sign of someone I've never met before. There are no other aristocrats nearby, so there's no doubt we're here for this.
Seeing the signs, he was a young man with a nice figure wrapped in gray noble clothes. Sixteen, seven. I was pruning my dark brown hair shortly, and it felt like it was a "sports system" to see it. I don't recognize him.
From the ornaments of the aristocratic clothes I'm wearing... a spear. That means the Count. Being here means you're young, but you're the main player. Looks like you don't have a partner, but you don't have a wife?
No, the Territorial Count who is attending this meeting will also attend tomorrow's ceremony. If so, they may be very busy with more territory and relocation. Or you just succeeded to the territory. Maybe that's why I've been tasked with my work like Bunny.
The man walked towards me after seeing Jasmine's sister crunching dessert with Ginger. Well, is it a solicitation to do business with me? It's bold to say that Bani is right next door.
"Excuse me while we're having a chat. My name is Klein-Anderson. It has an Earl's House near the Kingdom's western border. Are you sure you're Baron Beat-Face?
"Yes, I see you for the first time. Sure, I'm Beat-Face, can I help you?
Surprisingly, Count Anderson and I greeted each other with a slightly stiffer and polite tone. I thought you were going to solicit more pressure. His expression is a little stiff, but he seems quite polite.
The Count Anderson glanced at me with a faint look in his pocket. Neither I nor the Vicomte stand up for the action.
And then...
"I apologize for the abruptness, but I'm applying for a duel with you!
So he threw gloves at me.
... I'm sorry, I avoided it.
