Industrial revolution starting with the undead

……

Beautiful girl - unable to respond immediately to Annelotte's words.

From the side, it would seem like a very good story. He highly appreciates the workforce by the undead, and he also thinks about how that affects them. On top of that, I'm the only one who can make skeletons, so you need me - I know that fact.

But at the same time, you can't honestly believe it. Whatever, they're dealing with a princess of a country. Poor lords like me are completely different from each other in their positions and in the trajectories they have lived in. In this war of negotiation, I am an amateur, and Anne Lotte is a master of hundred wars.

I can't safely say that there's no chance that I'm being deceived.

"Well."

……

"This is all the cards I have. Do you understand how much we value Jin?

"Yep..."

Think. Think desperately.

Honestly, it's enough to keep snorting. For each Fleetberg territory, it is never a difficult story to surrender to the Heilhorn Union as it is. Even if we look at the long history of the continent, it has been done more than once in the territories that exist along the borders. Even if I were an example of this, there would be no such thing as being slandered.

And triple the territory, Borderline Bob - as a family member, he has promised me enough status to extend to the Marquis family. On top of that, they will give us the princess that will be the main axis of the state in the future. financially, it is a far better story than continuing a poor Count like the present.

Most importantly, the Heilhorn Union understands my thoughts about Skeleton. In Scripture in "Ecclesiastes," the imperial side did not in any way try to stop the soldiers of the skeleton who were supposedly apostles of the cult - those who tried to oppress just because it was a skeleton and crusade them as pagans. All from the Imperial side, he didn't try to break the stance of 'Trouble in the Territory is solved in the Territory'.

By comparison, the Heilhorn Union has shown an understanding of my reform. And most importantly, it is useful and highly appreciated. Being a lord or a magician who appreciates his or her merits greatly will weaken his or her self-esteem.

I don't see any reason to say no at all.

……

But still, I still can't answer.

The truth is that you can't say anything to the answer that you desperately think about but don't come up with.

"Oh, um..."

"Yes, Master Jin."

"Can I talk to you for a second?

"I don't mind."

"Now if you'll excuse me..."

That's what I told Annelotte, and I exhale small.

If it's true, maybe we shouldn't rely on it for this. But it was honestly the limit for me to think alone.

So I knit magic and connect 'messaging' in a way that creates another space in my head.

The opponent is - Master, Eleonora.

'Aye... what's up, Jin? It's rare to hear from you. "

Magic - "Message (Message)".

It's magic that allows you to communicate with a distant opponent. You can create another space in your head and have a conversation there in such a way that you only invite the other person's consciousness.

Usually, I don't do 'messaging' to Eleonora like this even when I have business.

Master, I need to talk to you.

Is something wrong?

"Yes. In fact, there is now a person in the reception room named the Second Princess of the Kingdom of Micheli, one of the Heilhorn Union."

"Ugh."

I can't feel the surprise in Eleonora's words.

Why aren't you surprised that way when the royal family is coming to my mansion?

"Well... I'll be back in a little bit."

"Eh."

'Cause I'm not irrelevant either. Well, wait a minute.'

"What... hey!?

Bum, and out of my head space, Eleonora disappeared as if I were forced to leave.

Along with that, the interstitial - part of that space, distorted.

"Mm-hmm!"

"Calm down."

"Ha ha...!

Annelotte stops in a nutshell the guard who tried to reach for the sword.

With it the distortion of space converges, and it is the purple shadow that appears there.

Eleonora, who came in an instant, using "Moment Move (Teleport)," was there.

"Yikes. Oh, Jin."

"Oh, master...?

"And it's been a long time. Anne Lotte"

"Yeah, it's been a while. Dear Eleonora,"

……

And Eleonora and Anne Lotte begin to greet each other soothingly for some reason.

No surprise at all there, as if we were close friends.

"Oh, master...? What do you mean...?

"Yeah? Anne Lotte is someone I know. What's wrong with that?

"Hey, why!? Your master is an external advisor to the Imperial Sorcery Society!?

"Oh, yeah, but"

Come on.

Eleonora sitting next to me on the couch even though she hasn't said anything.

And then you put your arms together wondering, and you look at me.

"Oh, Jin. Didn't you know?

"To?"

"I am an external advisor to the Imperial Sorcery Society of the Grand Slam Empire, but I am also a Sorcery Consultant to the Heilhorn Union. And finally, he is an external member of the Sorcery Council of the Fleet Kingdom, and an external member of the Union of Duchy Sorcerers in the Principality of Hubert. There are seven countries with only books."

……

I didn't know.

Well, I'm sure Eleonora is one of the "Four Witches of the Continent," and I haven't heard anything about the exclusivity of the Empire.

Is that why you can be a dignitary in another country if you want to be like that?

"I'm familiar with Annelotte's lady in that connection. I didn't think you'd make contact so soon. That's a rush."

"Be sensitive to see the desk. That's what the Michelli royal family teaches them."

"By and large, I'm guessing what Jin was told. By the way, I was the one who tipped Anne Lotte off. He said he's mass-producing the workforce the way he is."

……

You're the reason.

Yes, I can do something about the words that came out to my throat. I just have to hold my head anymore, knowing that I'm hurting my stomach like this and all the causes of it are Eleonora.

You should have called me from the beginning.

"So you can assume that I know most of what I know, Annelotte, too. The only things I haven't taught you are 'secrets you must never teach' and 'pretty little lady'"

"... OK, Master"

"As far as I'm concerned, I'm very concerned about that 'secret you must never teach'"

"I'm sorry, but I won't tell you if I'm tortured. I don't know if the United States has the guts to torture me."

"We want a good relationship."

Anne Lotte shrugs her shoulders at Eleonora's answer.

By and large, I understand the contents. "The Secret You Must Never Teach" is about the Art Book of Magic, and "Pretty Lady" is about Chris. I guess these two cases have kept Eleonora a secret, too.

"So I know Anne Lotte."

"Yes, I know."

"You made fake money, too."

"Hopefully, we don't want you to do that in our country."

……

What should I do?

Increasingly, I only have a feeling there's no escape.
