"From the middle of the fourth month to the end, the Emperor's Reign Day is celebrated every year in the Imperial Capital. Among those events are militant parties and music competitions. Romi, I want you to go to a militant party, and I want you to go to a music competition for the choir kids."

Is that so, Hatsune?

When I thought so, my expression broke up with Romeo and the men and Rinhua and the women. The men are dark and the women are bright. I wonder what the hell this light and dark is all about.

and Rinhua and the five of them formed a circle.

"I'll do it, people! Win a music competition and call a lot of customers to Kikunai! Then I can go see my father and my mothers!

"Yeah, good luck!

"I want to give my brother and sister some good clothes and dinner!

"Well, let's all..."

"Yeah, yeah, ooh!

"Ooh!" So I lift my arms to the girls who shook up, and Leggles and I also play some kind of arm up.

When we all turned our gaze to Mr. Viktor, the shadows approached us from the heel and the piano.

Following Mr. Viktor's gaze over his shoulder, he turned to the piano, and a long man with a neat face but no shards of sweetness seemed to walk over here.

"Which one is it?

Who do you do to Mr. Viktor, in front of me. When the man bows with his hand against his chest, he has knelt down and gazed.

"It's the first time I've seen you, my lord. My name is Louis Antoine de Saint-Justo."

"Thank you for your kindness. But you don't need your Excellency. Because I'm still unruly. It's Kikunai Phoenix Butterfly, you know how it is..."

Sir Shostakovich told me about you.

"Really? So, you're going to explain what happened to them to me?

"Yes."

Says Saint-Justo, who swayed her gray hair sarcastically, that they were children outside Kikunai, who were taken by slave traders to Baron Territory, and that Kikunai's guild captured the slave trader, so that it became a rebellion and they were to idle in Kikunai as a working mouth.

"He said he'd be caught in a slave trade... could it have been unauthorized?

"Master Left. He's like buying and selling slaves without permission. Naturally, it wasn't the right place to work, it was the stash of people with dark tastes behind them. It seemed like the gendarmerie took care of you, too, and as a baron it was unsavory to be known that you had a relationship with them, 'I don't know any slave traders or deals like that. Do something about it there' so..."

"I see. I'd like to give it back to my hometown, but where I just gave it back, it's where Kanno Mountain is sold again. That's why I picked it up here.

"Yes, sir."

"Just when Ah-tan said, 'If there's a singer or an actor who can easily go see you, and you drop that person's money, can't you aim for a stone and two birds that the kid you're rooting for shakes his hand or works for you?' Cause he said, 'I thought I'd give it a try. I see. I have money to raise artists, and if supported, artists grow up. It's two birds a stone, and I'd be happy to be a patron if you responded. What's more,' She was raised by us! Proud will motivate you to raise your next artist."

Yes, what I wanted to target was mass patronization.

Raising actors and singers costs enormous amounts of money. So having an artist is a rich status, but if you want to do that on a common level, you should group it together, not individually.

And if the subject could go to see him and exchange words, he would get extra familiarity. Some will then try to cross the line, but the advantage of the population is that it naturally lays down a surveillance system that does not allow each other to run out.

Still, for what we plan forcefully and somehow, the magic trick that we let them hold on to is the mechanism that holds it back.

And, well, I just talked about how it works and the framework, and honestly I didn't think it would be transferred to implementation so soon. Elf's ability to act. Don't be afraid.

"So, what about their families?

"For once, we're all safe. Looks like the slaver, the mouthkeeper, lied and made his parents sell them. Tell him I'll mediate with the sellers and needles of the big stores in Teito. I also looked into the contract, but I was creating a body that would sell it properly as a slave so that I could not help complaining that it was false in the contract. You took advantage of the fact that you couldn't read."

"Uh... I need to at least give you the literacy rate as soon as possible"

The same thing must be happening in Kikunai.

How can we turn the economy around and redistribute wealth and improve literacy at the same time? It really hurts that the amount and whereabouts of wealth don't come at hand.

"Oh, already! Not enough power!

"I don't have enough, do I?

"'You have to be great to do the right thing' is the truth. People do not obey things that have no authority and no financial means. Even if the Lords tell you to 'study,' the Lords will, and they have the financial resources to pay to squander their time for study. Overall, that's what I call power. Well, I'm sure you're not saying the push is right."

You have a headache.

Will authority come down a bit when I grow up?

Think of it that way and say, "No."

It's about those two. If Kikunoi figured it was not a non-performing loan, but a golden tree, he might even try to squeeze it to the bone marrow.

You know, I don't expect any conscience from those two in that regard, or I don't have the least amount of credit. Because it's a relationship that doesn't warm my heart.

First of all, you wouldn't live that far.

I've been forgetting a lot lately, but I'm dying early. I have no idea how this is going to happen, but if I really need that and it's going to be Leggles' blood, I'm not willing to avoid it.

But you'll have a lot of trouble with Kikunai being poor when he dies, and I made good on my promise to you, princess.

No, there's too much I have to do, and it's blocked in all directions.

"One thing, may I ask you something?," Saint-Justo calls, turning back from the sea of thought that was sinking.

"Why are you trying to lay academics so hard? I don't know what to say, but there will be a danger of rebellion if we apply knowledge to the ruling class."

"Man, if you're not dissatisfied with the status quo, it's not that easy to wake up a revolution with labor and money."

"I mean, if you lay down good governance, there's no revolt..."?

"It's not. The people are invited to participate in politics. I learned, I figured out how politics works. Then I'll join you next. If that participation turns out to be better or worse, then you can say it's also the responsibility of the party that participated, right?

"Engaging the people in politics..."

"Yes. Lords are busy. I have to do all that and this. You have to pay attention and attention to detail, but you can never do it physically or temporally. I want representatives from every settlement to talk it out."

The representatives of the settlement will probably choose to stand tall so that they can carry it like their own good. But that's not all.

How to secure a position in our favor.

You need both knowledge and wisdom to think about that, and you can't just be cunning.

Anything truly prolonged in political power should be protected, even if it is bad.

We're finally going to elect good politicians from one settlement to another and send them to the center, or lords.

The Lord hears each other's opinions, and makes a fair decision that no settlement will.

Much easier for lords to work with just this, right?

But to elect that brilliant politician, the choosing side also needs knowledge and wisdom, so let him acquire it.

Yeah, I just want to see a musical, but as a by-product, the lord's job is a little easier too!

I wonder if this will push me to improve my literacy rate even if I don't get along with Leggles when I die...... nah.

You were listening to me and Mr. Saint-Justo's interaction, and the cafe was quiet back at some point.

Sooner or later, Mr. Saint-Justo shifts his gaze to Mr. Viktor.

"Sir Shostakovich, it's a different story"

"What?

"There is already a budding parliamentary system in this one"

"Uh... hey. I've never heard you think about it before."

"Oh, right...... No, I've been busy lately, and how can I be a little less busy, and I thought to myself, you say I floated?

"Discussion is a long way off."

"But it doesn't wear off much more humanly or materially than it does with civil unrest, does it? It's an instant to break it, but it takes more than twice as much to get it back."

Shoulder to shoulder, Mr. Viktor nods, "Sure."

I do make money from wars and temporary special needs, but when I compare the cost of processing after it's over with the damage, it's negative. Especially if you have human resources.

Well, it's not that big of a story, but finding a compromise is better than arguing. It doesn't have to lead to remorse.

But Mr. Viktor, who knows me, finally laughs at.

"So, what's that mind?

"Even I want time to play with Leggles Kunya, and I want to come and hear the choir concert! I want a rest! But I absolutely don't want my parents to suck sweet juice!

"That's right!

Kerakera, grinning between Mr. Viktor and me, Mr. Saint-Just leads his gaze astray.

But swallowed something, and now drowned his head as a knight knelt to the king.

"If that's the case, I was wondering if I could help"

"What do you mean?

"I worked for the Treasury Department in the Kingdom of Lumane, located to the north. I have abandoned my country for a reason, but my ability is one of the finest in the kingdom. Please use me, my lord."

Saint-Justo, I can assure you of your abilities.

I don't know what it is, but they're carrying leeks from the other side, right?
