161 Stories Alliance Again

Estella, when I took Delia back to the Yangdu Pavilion, she was greeted by an unexpected guy in front of the store.

"I was waiting for my return, I, the lord of District 42 and my friend Yashiro's"

Gilberta, the foreman of the Lords' Hall of District XXXV, stood at the store in the same secluded atmosphere.

"Gilberta!? Why are you here?

Estella raises her voice to her surprise.

Looks like these guys didn't have any visits planned.

These guys...

Yes. The fact that Gilberta's here naturally means he's there, too.

"Is Lucia here too?

"Affirms, I am. Waiting in the store, Master Lucia, about you two."

Somehow I have a bad feeling about it.

That and Wendy's wedding-related opponents were deeply involved, but when I saw this whole city of Allbloom, I just thought that if I had done a series of errands, I would never see them that way in the future.

But that Lucia came all the way here to see me.

This, in the midst of Gotagota due to water shortages.

On the day I received a letter from people like "BU", including District 29, which could also be a declaration of war.

"Anyway, let's meet and talk"

"I don't want to hear it."

Estella is making her expression strong.

I guess I look a lot cramped, too.

"Hey, can I talk to you too?

Delia asks me with a serious look sometime.

I hear this guy guessed something, too.

The thought of worrying about the river is seeping into my expression.

"Maybe it's hard, I don't know, it annoys me, but I..."

"It's okay, Delia"

I guess I can't stay or stand.

About the important river, that's why.

Lucia's story is probably related to this lack of water.

Delia gives a slightly anxious look.

But he doesn't seem willing to pull it off.

That's the guild leader, right?

"If there's something I don't understand, I'll chew it up and explain it to you. So listen carefully."

"Yeah...... thanks, Yashiro"

Delia is growing little by little, too.

My instincts are starting to feel that I can't keep doing this.

Walking slowly. But this guy started moving forward.

Maybe I'll be a good guild leader.

Maybe enough to stake out with a wooden guild or a hunting guild.

"Anyway, go inside. Not much, time to slow down. We need to hurry, what's going on? That's the perception, Master Lucia. Of course, me too."

The less undulating look of Gilberta increases the risk one step at a time.

Put your hands on the door and open it to invite us.

I gazed at Estella once and nodded gently before stepping into the Yangdu Pavilion.

"Ah, Mr. Yashiro, welcome home. Oh, Estella was with you, wasn't she?"

Ginette rushes over to see our faces.

"Master Lucia has been waiting for you," he told me, with only a few whispering nuances.

Lucia sat in the seat near the center of the floor.

There was nothing to hide, he scattered his majestic lord Aura around the area, staring at this one in a neat position with no minute's gap.

"I've been waiting for you."

Quick to say short, but also stand up quietly enough not to shake the candlelight.

The same sharp gaze stares at this one and walks over graspingly without blinking.

On the pinned and stretched spine, without bracing any great strides in stride, face height, Lucia keeps getting closer and closer with her faceless, brave face, so powerful that she might have escaped if she hadn't known her.

"... it's good to see you"

So I doubt my ears for a moment for whispering like that...

"Bear ear beauty!

"Shut me up!

"Itchy! It's called itching!

"Ya, Yashiro! What am I supposed to do with this?

You can hit him. I'll allow it.

This guy is Lucia under any circumstances, at all!

"You want to talk about something. Let me hear it."

"If you want to hear my story, bring in Wen and Millie Tan!

"You don't have time!? Talk to me! Gilberta, I'll get it, Conoyaloo!

"I think that's a good idea, I haha"

Gilberta's eyes glowed hard, and Lucia moved at a rate that didn't go unnoticed, hugging him so strongly that he just didn't give it to anyone.

"Proclamation of war, or cataclysmic!

"Talk to me... I've got a lot of problems here."

Ignore the asshole and just get to your seat.

Estella sits down next to me. Yeah. This guy seems to be a policy of ignoring Lucia's oddities, too.

"Hmm. You're still rude, Scarecrow"

"Funny. I'm gonna ask you, so sit down."

Pointing to the seat across the street with her chin, Lucia comes back again in her graceful footsteps and lowers her back.

And when I sit, I raise one hand and call Ginette.

"Jinepu, shall I get you a new cup of tea? Let these two out."

"Yes, please wait a moment"

Pepper lowered his head and Ginette headed back to the kitchen.

"... who is Jinepu. Don't give me that weird nickname.

"I have my own approval, I don't have a relationship with outsiders."

What are you accepting, Ginette...

"Of all humans, he's my favorite."

"... Big Titties?"

"Are you a pervert who can only appreciate a woman the size of her breasts?

"Who's a pervert!

"The most important thing for women is whether they give me a hug or plump up all sorts of places, that sort of thing!

"Though you would be more perverted!

"Shut up, you perverts. Will you shut up for a minute until tea comes?

Estella stopped doing anything to Lucia in perverted mode.

Whether this is progress or degeneration as a lord, I'm about to suffer judgment.

"... Yashiro"

No sound, Magda appeared from behind me.

"... Magda and the others want to be present"

"No, but what about work?

"... because I don't have any customers, I've cleared it up with Magda and Loretta"

"No customers...?

When they say and look around the store...... I certainly don't have any customers.

"Let me rent it out, while Master Lucia is staying, we will"

Next to Magda, this again appears Gilberta without sound.

Are you guys sneaky?

"It's a bad story when asked, what Master Lucia is trying to do. Even the rumor level is troubling, what makes it noisy. It's a problem, even if the information that Lucia is here just leaks."

When it comes to that serious talk, it'll still be the only one.

"You're talking about a 'BU' tangle, aren't you?

"Again, you were here, too, or a letter from 'BU'"

"Yes. Would you like to see it?

"Okay, Estella?

It would not normally be possible to show other lords the letters that arrive to the lords.

Well, I'm not a lord or anything. I'm talking about you having a problem at the point I'm looking at...

"I don't mind. Anyway, it won't be much different from what's coming to Lucia."

"Hmm. Let's see."

Lucia spreads the letter and runs a zazzling glance at the content.

I raised my gaze in just a few minutes and lifted my mouth angle meaningfully.

It's pretty much the same thing.

We had a hunch.

A coalition of lords called 'BU' argues that they are responsible for this drought at a joint wedding in the 42nd and 35th Wards,

We're trying to compensate the two sides for the damage - the damage.

"Thank you for waiting"

Ginette brings eight teas.

... for all of us.

"Delia, sit at the same table as us."

Following Ginette, Loretta with the tray comes out of the kitchen.

The tray is lined with fruit tarts.

"Lo, Loretta! What is that cake!? Will you!?

Loretta responds to the delia she devours, even naturally.

"Yes. It's the luxury of the store. I hear difficult stories while eating, together!

"Okay! With the cake, I feel like I can understand any difficult story!

No, it won't.

How much sugar is nutritional in the brain?

"... Loretta. You've been great a long time, you. Hmm?"

"Ha wow!? So, that's what the store manager told you!? It's true! It's not one of mine!

Turning a proper gaze, Ginette shrugs her shoulders, frowning at the root of her eyebrows to mislead the evil and shows her troubled face.... you think you can delude me with that face, this guy.

"I don't mind. I'll take care of it. Eat well."

I tried to say something to Ginette, and Lucia blocked it.

How dare you?

"All right, then I'm from Yangdu Pavilion Kaiseki..."

"I refuse your share. The girls can eat and drink as they please."

... This guy is the same.

"Well, I'll treat you to Mr. Yashiro's share."

And Ginette puts the fruit tart in front of me.

... Not at all, in good shape.

Tea and cake go to everyone, and each takes a seat.

Next to our left seat, Magda and Loretta, Delia, sit down.

Gilberta is holding back behind Lucia.

"Gilberta, I hope you will accompany me. It's delicious."

"At work, I am. I've decided before, public and private."

"Good."

"... admitted, I am"

"Then why don't you sit with me"

"Admit it, I am"

I bow my head to Lucia, step back and sit straight with Ginette at the table next to ours.

"Well, it's a pretty sick story. Let's talk while we eat."

Lucia spreads a piece of paper with an expression of disgust.

Avoid dishes and make space on the table.

"This is..."

"It's an all-bloom map."

Lucia was right, that was an all-bloom overall view.

It's a reduced version of the map I saw in District 30 when I first came to this city.

I'm sure the line is drawn and the numbers are assigned to each district.

"I guess that was someone from the outside, Scarecrow"

"Now he's a fine resident of District 42."

To Lucia's words, Ginette overlaps the food.

Lucia also looked surprised because words flew from unexpected places.

But after a mild cough, he smiles softly and turns his words to Ginette.

"Whatever, even if it is. But as far as the geography of this city is concerned, it may be more negligible than ours. That's the confirmation from the thought. Don't make me sick."

"Yes, no! I didn't mean to... I'm sorry."

Squeeze your shoulders and lean down.

I think it was a rare and emotional statement to Ginette.

Ginette herself seems ashamed of what she says and does. My face is dyed red.

"Well, sure. I can only remember the fine arrangement."

I can see roughly, but it's easier to understand if you show it in the diagram like this.

Again, I'll take a look at this all-bloom overlooking.

There is a first district in the center, the so-called central district.

Around it, other districts are spreading in a radial fashion.

Perhaps we should say that the district continues in a spiral rather than in a radial fashion.

Zones 2 to 5 surround each other as adjacent to the Central District.

Five further districts, ranging from District Six to District Ten, surround it.

This district from District I to District X has a considerably smaller territory than other districts.

Compared to District 42, it's about a fifth to a sixth of the area.

"I know you do, but the Central District, as well as from Zone II to around Zone V, is the territory where royalty resides. There are second-class aristocrats living around it."

"Second level?

Lucia's words included words that I was not used to hearing again.

I suppose it's an identity system that has long been used in this city, like subhumans and subspecies.

"It is the Zheng Royal Family who is ruling this country by living in the Central District and come. And inhabited in its neighborhood of Four Wards are the nobles who fall into the bloodline of the Positive Royal Family. We call such people 'royalty'"

Lucia uses reverence. He's not even here.

I mean, that's what a clan is, a royalty is. One light mouth is going to fly my neck. Let's listen carefully this time.

"Even if I say 'royalty' in one bite, it's still well distinguished from legitimate blood muscles, and we call royalty other than the righteous royalty 'first class nobility'."

"I see. That means noble nobility is second to nobility, although not royalty"

"Uhm. Mainly, those involved in governance… include ministers, prime ministers, etc."

Lucia will explain after Estella.

With the king at its apex, the blood muscle is the best, and the royal caretaker is the second.

"So there are three classes of nobility who have a strong relationship with the royal family but do not hold key positions."

"It's a good guess, snail. The royalty's gardeners, craftsmen, and those who come and go are called the third class nobility."

"The great merchants and the millionaires."

and Estella adding more supplements to her own words that she supplemented.

"The guild chief of the merchant guild is also included in this tri-class aristocracy"

"Heh... well, I guess you're in a position to make me look prestigious"

"Let's see. Five classes of nobility like me don't even have teeth."

Is Estella of the fifth grade?

Lucia is grinning softly at what she's saying. A slightly self-derisive, but creepy grin. Is Lucia also a fifth class aristocrat?

From the atmosphere, it looks better than Estella, Ricardo, and Demilies.

"Oh, maybe"

I look at the map of Allbloom and flicker.

Zheng Royal Family in the Central District.

Primary aristocracy from Zone II to Zone V around it.

A second-class aristocrat from District Six to District Ten around it.

And it is the three-class aristocracy that lives in the twelve districts of districts 11 to 22, which have a territory slightly wider than the aforementioned ten districts.

"You mean the higher the grade the inner part of the circle, mainly in the Central District"

"Exactly."

The city's districts are connected in circles to surround the inner districts.

The more the circle goes outside, the lower its status as a nobleman, the lower its rank.

So the outermost - the aristocracy of the thirtieth to forty-second districts, known as the outer peripheral districts, will be the lowest grade five-class aristocracy.

If that split, Lucia is also definitely a five-class nobleman.

"There's a big difference between the 30th Ward in the outer perimeter and the 29th Ward on the inside."

"Identity."

I tell you what Lucia made me contain.

"And this time -"

This one and Estella tell me as she taps the map with her index finger.

"- I've been complaining to us about the BU, including District 29."

As I say, I finger the neighborhoods inhabited by fourth-class aristocrats, from District 23 to District 29.

There, the outer peripheral districts, of course, are elongated and very narrow compared to the inner districts XI to XXII. Its seven districts, present in the second circle from the outside, circled the all-bloom as elongated as a belt.

Belt…… of, 'BU', then, no, I guess. I guess' U 'is' United (Union) '.

"I mean, that's the kind of troublesome situation you get when you get a champ from a nobleman in the first place."

"If you say so in your own words."

I guess you're right about everything.

... when a high-profile guy can't stand to see what he's doing down there.

Besides, the argument is nothing but obfuscation...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

This is why nobility can't be said to have Estella and Lucia as nobles in front of you...

"Totally. This is why nobility is a pain in the ass. Hey, it's Estella."

"Huh? Ah, ha. It's hard for me to say from the standpoint............... right"

A serious statement jumped out of the two nobles, and me and Ginette got more agitated.

Estella seldom gets aristocratic. Well, I know... but it would have been hard to say with Lucia in front of her.

"Ha, ha. Don't look funny. Scarecrow. I'm going to pick my eyeballs out."

"Don't smile and say something scary!

Especially when you have a fork in your hand or something!

"I'm more of a horse than a bunch of nobles. It's the kind of guy who plays more with guild leaders."

"Because there are many beasts."

"Mar, you're the best."

It's just a perverted statement... but now I felt something very gentle.

"I guess this is why they say, 'The outer periphery is barbaric' or 'lots of freaks'"

"The 42nd arrondissement can be told all you want by the same 5th class nobleman."

It's just stupidity.

If you are a nobleman, you will never let others - and you will never let ordinary people like me or Ginette hear that - speak without complaining of dawning foolishness.

You guys, is that all right?

"That's why I let you rent it out, today. I decided it was impossible without this kind of atmosphere, this time the story."

From the table next door, Gilberta comes such a supplement.

Immediately, while carrying a small, small cut tart into your mouth.

"Very troublesome, 'BU' people."

A cracked belly opinion flies straight to me.

Poking the fork into my eyes, Lucia smiles with awesomeness.

"Look at that different territory. Have you noticed anything?

"You have a small territory."

"That's not all, it's thin and long"

An elongated territory has a difficult aspect to utilize.

It would be easier to live in a loose rectangle with a wide interstitial mouth than in an elongated house with narrow interstitial mouths.

"Each district is elongated, adjacent to two to three districts"

Lucia is right, each of the districts belonging to the 'BU' is adjacent to two, not three, districts on one side alone.

There will be many adjacent districts for a long time.

"They're using that territory to take a 'traffic tax'."

Pay to get through your own district... that's what District 41 was trying to do before.

If these districts form a coalition of 'BUs' and take a transit tax across the board, many of those coming from outside will drop their money on 'BUs'.

Anyone who comes to business from outside will want to do business in the Central District.

In this all-bloom, in the most elegant and flourishing city.

And it is always necessary to pass' BU 'in order to get from the outer peripheral area to the central area.

That's rowdy business.

... Is that it?

"I passed" BU "once, but they didn't take the money, did they?

"I don't tax people. Just for the product."

"Really?

"If you don't, you'll have to take money from the royals."

"Why don't you take it?"

"Hmm. It's a snail. You look like an obscene creature, but your heart is pure."

"Who is the obscene epitome"

Lucia smiles teasing at

What's pure?

"Some aristocrats prefer to play with women of different statuses."

It's time for Estella to slap me in the ear.

Obviously, with a voice that takes into account the Ginettes.

"... ah. You know what?"

In short, the royalty and the higher nobles caught a sneaky, low-status woman in the middle of the night to play otna and return to the mansion before nightfall -.

At that time, if you were taking any money on your way home, you could be watched by a royal or superior nobleman who wants to act sneaky.

So you're keeping it to tax the goods, without that kind of movement?

... I guess it's not like I'm pure or anything because I didn't think of that crap.

Yes, Niyaniya, you perverted lord! Beastman Mania! A conspirator to ethics!

...... Hmm.

"Anyway, there's no other way to go and listen to them. But this one just goes and says whatever you want. I don't care what they say."

"There's a good chance I'll be able to blow a lot of hard work."

Lucia and Estella seem to agree.

I mean...

"Why don't we put up a joint front?"

"Yep. Just what I want."

Again, the lords of the forty-second and thirty-fifth districts exchange stiff handshakes.

"So now you can use it again, the snail there."

"Yep. If it's manipulative."

We both turn our gaze over here.

He said he had a bad smile on his face.

"... the rewards are high, huh?

The other side claims it's the launch fireworks I suggested.

You won't be able to escape the corresponding responsibility.

At least make me feel good.

Well, anyway.

I was just hoping to let the "BU" guys blow a bubble, so I'm gonna ride you this time though.

Again, I'll set my sights on the map.

'BU' circles the all-bloom to separate the outer periphery where we live from the inner neighborhood where royalty and superior nobility live.

It's like, "You guys don't go in from here," but he says.

Superior.

I'll go as you wish. Take your insides and eat them up.
