Isekai Sagishi no Consulting

The hall of Ricardo Siegenthaler, lord of the forty-first district, was, to be honest, a subtle construction.

Somehow, I tried to build it against the Lords' Hall in the 40th Ward, but I didn't catch up with the technology, so I got the feeling that it was failing everywhere...

"Are you a stunning lord since your predecessors?

I whisper to Natalia, who stands next door.

"This has been refurbished since it was replaced."

"What?... No, 'cause it smells old?

"Wasn't the head of the person who designed it and the wood used old?

Wow, spicy.

Natalia doesn't seem to think much about the lords here either.

I don't think both parents and children have a very good relationship.

If I tried to make it District 41, I would have had the idea that the only downgraded District 42 couldn't lose no matter what.

... I wouldn't even hate it if they handled it like that.

"... with my bare hands"

Natalia squeaks pompously as she grips her fist.

"Shall I try to dismantle it?

"I don't think you can do it... but don't do it."

I didn't come here to declare war.

"It's late. I wonder how long you're going to keep me waiting."

Estella says with a frustrating look.

We've been standing in front of the gates for twenty minutes since we got to the Lords' Hall and asked the Gate Soldiers to take over.

Other lords would already be home saying "disrespectful".

... They hate me because I harass them like this. The lord here.

Most importantly, Estella's outfit is also easy, as this side is not a tribute visit. That's just a little better quality than your usual outfit.

"This harassment in anticipation of us not being able to go home angry..."

"It would be like advertising the small size of a vessel aloud yourself. In the first place, I wonder what the people would think if they saw it, such as making the lords of other districts wait in front of the hall..."

The killing of two women is amazing.

Let's just stay away.

I look around the city, harassed by the little lord of vessels.

"... That's quiet"

No roads have been maintained. But the road is wide enough to look pretty enough not to get the impression of waste.

I guess the hunting guild is just based and takes care to make it easier to carry the beast.

For that matter, it lacks buzz.

Are you saying you're idle or that people aren't walking much despite this wide of a road?

There are few carriages to go out with.

There were only two carriages that went by during the twentieth minute standing here.

"Thank you for waiting"

Because he had turned his back on the gate, he did not realize that the user had come that far.

I was a little surprised when I accidentally heard a voice from behind.

That's how quiet this city is. Even if it wasn't silence, it was like I was lurking my breath... a little tinnitus.

"The lord was very busy and very distressed to make time today"

Jijii, the guide who leads us to the Lord, says such a thing in a whispering tone.

And when I stopped in front of the big door, I added this as I folded my hips.

"So please don't take up too much time"

Natalia reached for her nostrils, so she kept her hips poked small.

... of not stabbing.

And the "hiccup" voice when you touched your hips was pretty cute.

"Welcome, Lord's Agent of the 42nd Ward."

The room that was put through was a luxurious office room with a large window behind it. Large warcraft fur is laid on the floor, creating a luxurious atmosphere.

"We are out of time, Sir Siegenthaler"

"Ha!"

To Estella's greeting, Ricardo Siegenthaler, lord of the forty-first arrondissement, snorted.

"Please don't. My neck itches. Me and you. Let's skip the tough ones."

"Ha... I didn't know you and I had such a deep relationship."

"Hmm. She's still not cute. She's a woman."

"I'm here now as a lord's deputy."

"Hmm......"

Ricardo frowned, but quickly lifted the corner of his mouth.

Sitting on a big leather chair across the clerk's desk, Ricardo put his body behind his back and put his feet together with dignity.

Lift your chin and pull your gaze over to look down at this one.

"I read your letter."

"(Recommend the chair!

To Ricardo, who started talking, Estella burns her killer.

The three of us are still standing in front of the desk.

There is a short legged sofa lined up behind it. Ricardo should have moved to the couch and sat us on the couch across the street... sounds like an employee called into the president's office, us.

Natalia trembling in anger, but when Estella sent her gaze, she corrected her posture softly.

Estella's gaze can be directed at me, too.

"(Provocative behavior is prohibited)"

Estella's eyes seemed to say so.

I know.

No matter how much I say, I don't suddenly incite an enemy general at the enemy's home.

In the hunting guild branch. 'Cause you were an adult at first, weren't you? Now I'm quite a pacifist.

"So, what are you doing today? We have a lot to do here. Do me a favor."

"(If you're busy, why don't you spend twenty minutes on futile harassment)"

"(... Natalia, calm down)"

I didn't know Natalia hated him so much.

Well, rather than not accepting Ricardo's nosy personality, it feels like it's because of his numerous disrespects for Estella.

"Then let me spare you the extra greetings and customs."

"Ha! I wouldn't expect a countryman like you to do that."

"(Dear Yashiro. Thank you so much for everything)"

"(Wait, wait! What are you up to!? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Prepare to resign and discuss Ricardo. What's it gonna be?

It's gonna be a war, seriously!

"I want to ask the guild leader of the hunting guild to meet me. I would like to ask for a little more work, which may have some impact on this district. I wanted to tell you in advance about that."

"In advance...... hey"

Ricardo kicked up the feather pen that was standing on the pen stand as he stretched his leg over the desk.

The feather pen, which was successfully caught and kicked up by the wings, flies to Ricardo's hand to draw an arc.... He's clever. Next time I'll practice too.

"I mean, you want me to write to Medora in the hunting guild?

"I want you to entrust me with a letter of introduction. I didn't ask the branch manager to help me."

"Ha! What, you? He refused to cooperate with the guy who lives in his own territory? Ha ha! This guy's a masterpiece."

Ricardo laughs with his big mouth open, fingering his feather pen.

"Kuh.................. I guess they lick me because I'm a woman"

……

"-!"

Silently - without even breathing - I manage to stop Natalia from moving, in inches.... Glad you got your arm. Natalia's arm, firmly gripped, was a little thinner than she expected...... but her muscles were tight and stiff.

Not because I'm working out. This guy is serious about killing now.

I'll rub it gently so I can lose my strength from that arm.

"... sorry"

"Fine. 'Cause it's just a miracle I could move faster than you."

If a miracle has happened, isn't that because of him?

When you get home, pray down with your favorite spiritual gods.

"Perhaps..."

Estella spits out the words slowly.

Spit out the words you have to say, only the words you want to say... clever artist.

"That's why I want you to write me a reference. 'Cause if you ask for it on a formal route, they'll move too"

You really want to say it.

"Isn't it because you put pressure on me to interrupt!".

But there's no proof. It is diplomacy that cannot say anything worse than there is no evidence.

Buying objection here is not a good idea.

Well done.

"Uh-huh... heh, I don't know what to do"

Even though...

"You can write it down, but come on... that's good for me, right?

"Benefits......?

Ricardo doesn't break up the attitude that provokes this one. No, I'm going to strengthen it even more.

"Look, what's the exchange condition? Something like that."

"Instead of you writing a reference, you want me to do something?

"Yes, yes. So, what are you doing to me?

Ricardo tilting his neck to peek in from the bottom.

That peek, I know when they do... makes me want to hit you.

"I want to hear the opposite. What do you want me to do? If we can do this, we can help."

Estella, who would be quite frustrated, is grudgingly angry even when she gets here.

The floating smile is slightly convulsing, but I'd rather praise him for keeping a grin.

"Ha ha, hey. Nah."

............... This guy, is he nuts?

"It's something you can do, even I can afford it! Instead, I'd do better, like?

............... Do I have to make any comments to this man? You don't have to.

"I mean... I can't write references............ and I guess that means?

"Hmm, no, well, you can write it down. It's pathetic."

'Pathetic,' says Ricardo emphatically to look down.

In a niggling grin, the colour of my eyes becomes dull and cloudy.

"If you're going to sit down and ask me... you can think about it, okay?

"We're leaving, Estella."

"Let's go home, lady."

"Huh? Hey, both of you!?

Me and Natalia went around almost simultaneously. I was walking right out.

It's a waste of time.

Most importantly, you should give up the city gate as much as you owe this guy.

He's the worst man on that level.

... try to get this guy into a situation where he can ask for Estella herself... I might kill someone for the first time.

Negotiations are broken.

What is the negotiation of this?

"We don't seem to have time, so let's just say we come back out."

"Right. The lord of District 41 seems busy."

"Hey, both of you!

Flip in front of the big door in the office and turn towards Ricardo.

Natalia has a good posture and stares at the scum lord with a Rin face.

I'm the one who put my arm on the door and put my weight on it.

"Hi, sorry to bother you"

Natalia says, breaking hips.

I respect you for keeping your head down on a guy like this, I do.

"Right or right. Then do as you please."

Even as Ricardo, I don't think he's going to pull this one off.

Even if he works diplomatic disrespect and the relationship gets worse, he doesn't intend to follow up. You think it's someone you don't even need to do that with.

"I'm the kind of person who forgets the gratitude I've given him so scattered. I can't help but ask for courtesy."

As you can guess, Ricardo says.

What do you mean, "preferential"? Hmm? I don't really remember you.

I turned my gaze to Natalia but shook her head with a cool face.

Estella says...... she has a confused look. After all, I don't seem to remember.

"Well, fine. If we're done here, we're not gonna talk about it."

While sitting in the chair, Ricardo flips his body around.

Heh, there's a spinning chair in this world, too.

Ricardo's hand reaches out from above his long back and swings left and right.

"Just go home," he said.

Face to face and see if anyone disagrees.... Yeah, you're not here.

We unanimously chose to leave this unpleasant place.

"Oh, yeah, yeah."

I just stepped out of the room and Ricardo turns around again. Naturally, sit in a chair and let your body look back.

"Beginning at the end of next month, I will impose a transit tax on people and things going through District 41"

"Ha!?

It was Estella who raised her voice.

Step back into the office where you left the corner.

"What do you mean?!?

He says he'll pass through our precinct and tax the things and people that are brought into the 42nd precinct, and then the things and people that are brought out.

"I didn't ask, that's not true!

"What, it hasn't arrived yet?

"Reach...?

So Ricardo had the most evil grin here.

"I sent you a letter, didn't I?

"... letter..."

I didn't like the word 'letter'.... what?

When I looked at Estella, she was frowning at the root of her eyebrows and staring at her face.

When this guy looks like this, there's a verse that comes to mind, and he thinks, "Oh, I've done it".

... Also, I guess it's some kind of harassment or something.

"Regardless of the difference with the letter...... isn't it a little rambling to tax all of the logistics?

"The maids are not talking to the lords of other districts... what kind of education are you? Ah!?"

"... Natalia"

"We imitated the past."

Natalia bows her head deeply.

But that's never against Ricardo. Against Estella.

"Well, if you're reflecting, I'll forgive you. I've got a big heart."

I wonder what would happen if I used The Judgement of the Spirit now. Now we have to make that bastard a frog, Spirit God, so incompetent.

But the use of 'Spirit Judgment' on lords is, well, like a declaration of war. Maybe other districts...... no, we risk turning all the nobles and royalty upside down to our enemies....... I guess you don't have a choice but to stop.

"O lord of the forty-first arrondissement with a wide heart."

"... what, you?

"He's a handsome passing man."

"... so? What the hell."

Ugh, it's through, through. He can't read the air.

"Excuse me. Will you answer this maid's question at last? Lord with a wide heart."

"... you're selling a fight?

Lords with a wide heart are terribly short tempered.

I'm going to respect you....... Knock.

"Well, fine. Anyway, that's what I wrote in my letter. I'll tell you what."

I can see it's true that I was going to say it from the beginning.

I see. Is this your personality?

Speak from yourself if you feel like sparing, burning, or losing interest... the type you can't help but say in the end.

Look, I'm gonna ask you, so talk to me.

"You're building a city gate, aren't you?

"Oh yeah... but that's in advance for you too............!

"If it's done, I'm sure many adventurers, hunters and woodcutters will use it."

"... well, yeah, maybe."

It seals Estella's objections, Ricardo says in a voice that contains plenty.

A grudgingly tangled, resentful gaze is tangled in Estella.

What's in those eyes is... anger.

"Otherwise, there will be fewer guests at our city gate, won't there?

"So that's because, as I've explained before, the direction of the city gate is different...... Huh!

"Huh!? Explain it?

It's the grudging voices that get spit out of Ricardo's throat.

This guy... it may not just be harassment... what the hell is going on with this guy?

"Well, the explanation is... there's enough already..."

"Enough... oh well"

Shake your arms up to throw, and let them down sloppily.

It's the kind of pose you show when you lose your motivation.

"Well, anyway. I have to compensate somewhere for my reduced tax revenues. The 42nd arrondissement is the cause of the detriment, it's the 42nd arrondissement that makes it up to you, isn't it?

"I can't believe this is caused by District 42..."

"For more information, it's in the letter"

Also, a 'letter'.

"It's supposed to have a full explanation. You have to read it carefully."

Finally Estella stopped responding.

I can't peek at that look from here... Estella's back was revealing her anger.

District 42, which is surrounded by cliffs to the north and west and has an outer wall to the south, cannot travel to and from other districts unless it passes through District 41. In other words, when they seal off Zone 41, there will be no more people or things in Zone 42.

Even if it comes in, taxes are multiplied by a percentage.

Ricardo's policy is to prevent the city gates of District 42 from functioning.

You can't keep this guy quiet.

If the demands are too unreasonable, I'm sure around the presiding court will take care of them.

Anyway, if we leave this alone, we're even in danger of no supplies coming into the 42nd arrondissement.

"... are you about to start a dispute with District 42?

"Which one is that? Heard that? You think we're expanding our armaments?

"Huh!? It's an argument!"

"Don't give me the shirashiba!

Ricardo rises as he knocks down the chair and makes a shitty noise.

That's big...... about 180 centimeters... too tall for Estella. Where Estella behaved like a man, this physique difference doesn't fill.

To the intimidating Ricardo attitude, Estella withdrew half a stride.

"The square is decorated with the skull of a warcraft, and the soldiers are enhanced by dozens?

"............ Ah!

Estella reacts to Ricardo's words.

I didn't know what I was talking about until I was on my way... but this guy is talking about the fake soldier march I called to get rid of that gorot. Expansion of armaments… does that look like it from the outside?

"I guess I was going to cover up well in the realm... that was unfortunate. I heard that stupid honest kids are going to be happy to sing a big chorus with 'Lords Lords'? Waving the flag of the Lord's emblem!

"No, that's..."

It's a complete misunderstanding.

But Ricardo's words, which he assumes so, do not stop.

"Expand your armaments, open the city gates and make a profit...... you guys, I guess you were going to attack me into District 41!

"I don't mean to! Because I don't mind having 'Spirit Judgement' here and now!

"Hmm! I guess so! You've got a long way off your head, haven't you?"

A mindless staff officer?

When I had a bad feeling and looked next door, Natalia was staring at me jizzily.

Turning back in front, Estella was looking this way.

... No. Don't look at me.

"You're being blown in here asking me to use The Spirit's Judgement? If you do that, it's like declaring war. From you guys, it's a perfect opportunity. To take over this forty-first precinct!

"So he said he didn't mean to have any fine dust!

"Then show me the proof!

Ricardo's finger is poked in front of Estella, who tried to pack it up.

"... certificate, evidence?

"That's right. Shall I show you that you are unwilling to invade?"

"What do you want me to do?

Because Estella showed a concessionary attitude, Ricardo smiled niggardly and evil.

"Retract the city gate installation blank."

hey...... what the fuck!?
