Life with my Little Sister

Lesson 664: Time on the Lake

A horizontal type of manga bubble.

That is the 'form of this country'.

This, in particular, is somewhat of a rough explanation.

To give a similar example, Hokkaido is described as "diamond-shaped". The Taoist was furious.

However, it is also a fact that the explanation of "manga bubble" explains to some extent the shape of the moon rain in the world in which I live now, just as the "diamond" represents the shape of Hokkaido to some extent in order to buy the anger of the daiko.

So why did you describe it as a "cartoon callout"?

It stands for 'Who's talking', a slightly stretched, sharp part.

This is what is important to this country.

The [Kakon] stretches out like an elephant's nose, towards the continent and southwest.

And in a few moments, it was leading to the edge of the continent, to the sea.

Yes, this kingdom is the "kingdom of the sea."

The part facing the sea.

And the part of "Chikon" that connects the sea to the main part of the country is important even though it is small in area, so it is not given to the nobility as a territory, but it is the direct jurisdiction of the Heavenly Kingdom.

Throughout this part of the world, Moon Rain also conducts maritime trade, but its naval and shipbuilding capabilities are inferior to those of other coastal and marine nations.

This is due to the fact that the sea cannot devote all its labor and technical capabilities.

Well, most of the Moonrains are like landlocked countries.

That's why the salt market in Japan is dominated by rock salt.

Meanwhile, the Army seems quite capable.

Moon Rain is one of the biggest countries on the Northern Continent, and simply because it is populous, it is more than sufficiently advantageous.

And at the edge of the country - the eastern region, the northwestern region, and the southwestern region that has avoided "Likon" - is the territory of the country's proud Five Marquises.

In other words, the role of the Marquis is to [prevent the entry of outsiders].

Well, the lords of the Marquis family are rarely in their own territory, and they seem to spend most of the year in the capital.

On the other hand, in the southeast, about a quarter of the vast territory of this country is the territory of the Grand Duke of Faenstra, and half of it is in the state that "there is a country in the country".

In preparation for the southeast, the Grand Duke of Faenstra and the Marquis of Burkhayusen, who was originally in charge of the south, worked together, but now the Marquis is not expected to "seize" the Grand Duke.

In particular, the head of the House of Marquis Burkhayusen-that lion man is an ally of Marquis Bayrefeld Caspell, so it seems that even if the greats of the country devise one measure against the Grand Duke, it is a situation where the sniff of the old man of Caspell must be observed.

Rather, it was the old man who tried to increase his influence in anticipation of it.

I don't think Mr. Stefanus has the skill to do this.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a decent successor who can read the current?

On the other hand, the territory of the Three Dukes' House is arranged to surround the royal capital near the center.

This is literally a "bulwark", and it is a preparation in the event of defeat of the Marquis who protects the outer edge, and the army of other countries falling into the country, and in the event of civil unrest.

Well, like the Battle of the Moonrains and the House of Fraiswerk six generations ago, there were times when the [bulwark] could not be relied upon.

- And Cyril.

A metropolis beside the capital of the kingdom.

It is one of the last defense points to defend the capital, and it also has an out-of-city role.

If so, Cyril and the King's City would work together to hit the enemy.

That's probably why the streets are so well-maintained.

Therefore, the role of this city is important.

If Cyril betrays the Marquis, who protects the outer edge, or the Three Dynasties, who protects the middle, and hits the King's City directly, even the Moon Rain, the great power, may collapse in an instant.

In that regard, the current lord, Asselberg Damien, has a reputation as a lawmaker, so as long as Damien is the head of the Count family, he will be safe.

I'm glad the Count is safe from the catastrophe two years ago.

The fact that Frey, the daughter of my feared man, is proud of his origins is probably due to his heavy responsibility of being in charge of protecting the impasse city of Cyril, while being a Viscount's family.

Well, I was a little worried that the [other] was Viscount Dennen's house.

Now, it is not only the nobility that supports the country and the city.

Naturally, the "private sector" also has it.

For example, the Sholsina Chamber of Commerce, which our family has been gracious to, is private -- although it has a lot of influence to call it -- and there are stall bones other than aristocrats in this Cyril.

This is the [Et Hoft Trading].

It is a private chamber of commerce that is responsible for the transportation between Cyril and the capital city, and it is also a logistics company that dispatches merchants to villages near Cyril and buys crops and handicrafts.

Just by going outside the city where monsters and bandits are hunting, the trading company itself has some inherent force, but it also works well with the Adventurer's Guild, and it's a "good customer" of each other.

"Ethoft is a mess." If you send a bad adventurer, you'll be dead soon. On the contrary, if you're not very capable, you tend to be more welcome if you're honest and serious. Look, you know, those Slacks brothers, they used to drive us out on transport missions, right? "

is a story of a muscular executive.

On the other side of Lake Cyril, Orlyfish are still being discharged, but it is said that about half of them will be transported to the neighborhood through the Et-hoft trade.

"Supi-supi..."

Now we're resting by the lake.

Fee to me.

Marimo is traveling to the world of dreams while her mother is fooling around.

"Both of you were having a big chaos..."

I may not wake up for a while.

Sisti brews tea from a simple tea set and distributes it to everyone.

She is a good girl who can take care of herself.

Meanwhile, that brother.

Brev has ten hands in one hand and calls out to Tine.

"You're Al's spear teacher, right?" How strong are you? Just try to fight me for a bit. "

"No, my mission is to escort the Crane Putts." Even in the city, there's no reason to be distracted. ”

Because she is real, she doesn't seem to want to be challenged by Hatoko-sama.

Furthermore, when Brev was chewing down, he pointed at Mr. Fennel in a slightly troublesome manner.

"If you really want to move your body, please let her do it." Even if she can see it, she's a pretty good user, isn't she? "

"Eh!? Please don't talk to me, Mr. Yantine!? I'm waiting for Master Noir's queue!"

For Tamerheilf, this trip is completely a hobby and a respite, so he doesn't seem to be willing to devote any more resources to it.

As Tine said, Fenel-san is quite strong.

The lineage of Yantine was originally the bloodline of the guard knight who was directly subordinate to the ancestor.

Being a warrior, he has more strength than a regular high elf.

Tine said that if you fight Fenel-san, if you fight one-on-one, you win.

"--But if I was a follower, I wouldn't be able to beat Fenel either." And her main job is Tamer. The strength of the service beast, commanded by a good follower, greatly exceeds the normal scale. Good examples are the demon beasts led by human followers who caused calamities two years ago. His high command ability also made him a great disaster. And Fenel's Servant Totle is not as strong as an ordinary beast, and above all, she is a top-class tamer among the High Elves. It could be the number two follower of our species. ”

"Number two? Well, what's the most...?"

Fennel smiled bitterly at my question.

"As far as I know, the best follower is probably not a follower."... I have the ability to surpass me in one move. "

Uh, who's that?

Do you have such an amazing elf?

Thinking like that, Tine said softly to me.

"This is my vice president."

"Ahh..."

"Henriette-san..."

He's really amazing.

I like to stick my cheek, but I only have the image of a gentle lady.

Looking at me, Mr. Fennel squeezes his shoulder.

"It's really amazing that she likes you." Vice Chairman Henriette, I'm soft on my waist, but I can keep a certain distance from everyone. "

"If that's the case, then Alto-sama is a valued family member of the High Patriarch." That's not how it should be treated. ”

Tine says that too.

Speaking of which, Abel is also an amazing person.

As well as being a family for me, it's a "cute girl" frame.

I watched Hi-Elfs and Hatoko's exchange and remembered that they were having such a conversation in a carriage going to Japan.

When you think like that on the quiet shore of the lake...

"Fufu...... But it's good to be with you like this...?"

Literally, a uniformed lady sitting in a girl's seat and hanging her shoulders on me, makes her feel like she's chewing on peace.

"I'm an aristocrat too." I'm busy studying at home and practicing with the vocal team. We also have an investigation into the House of Viscount Dennen. That's why this kind of stretching time is valuable. "

You're still busy being a kid. Don't overwork yourself in the future, okay?

When she gets my gaze, she smiles ogrely at her age.

"There's always someone around you." For now, I'm on my own. "

No, although I'm asleep, I also have Fee, and Sisti-chan is by my side.

The tip of the arrow that I tried to shove in, suddenly pulled my clothes from behind.

(Yeah...? Who is it...?)

The chicks are asleep, and the pigeons are within sight.

Looking back, I was surprised.

"Eh...? Are you...?!"

I won't forget what you look like.

It was just a little encounter, but it was a child with a dark yak and an impact.

"It's been a long time...... Nice-looking lady......"

Once again, Chan-chan.
