"- Why don't you just leave him alone?

After his morning training, Ain was sweating and then asking under Krone.

The location was Krone's office, and she was still doing a lot of paperwork today.

"Yes, no, but? It's Katima, isn't it?

"Ein? Is that what you call the First Princess Katima? Or does that mean that Master Katima...?

Krone asked. What intent does Ein seem to be worried about?

Then Ein answers.

"... both, I guess"

"... Phew. Really?

Finishing the paperwork he was writing, Krone looked up and Ain.

There is a physical distance between them. Because Ein sat on the couch and Krone was at his desk.

"What kind of reply does Ein want? You want to hear what we should do now? Or do you want an opinion for the future as well?

"Is that both greedy?

"Yeah. I've known Ain't greedy for a long time."

Phew, and Krone sighed.

Under the desk, when I reassembled my legs worried, Ain's gaze pointed there.

Krone notices his gaze, as a matter of course, but he talks in a good mood about whether he has been more attentive to the gaze he has received.

"I think we should leave it to the two of us now and in the future."

"You mean until Dill or Katima says something?

"Yep. That kind of thing. It's not good to pinch your mouth on someone else's love path, is it?

From the standpoint of nobility and royalty, it was a word that I honestly couldn't snort.

But Ein and Krone said that they had come this far in free love, and Ein makes them snort after worrying.

"So why don't I just leave you alone? I said that. Besides, leaving it alone isn't gonna be another problem, is it?

"For once, Mr. Katima is the first princess..."

"When I say that, the Greyshire family of Captain Dill is the Duke's - and he is a brilliant leader of the Knights dedicated to Prince Wang. Is there a problem with your identity?

"... there may be no problem."

"Rather, as much as me and Ain have more of a problem with identity differences? So it's not a big deal."

Sure it is. Ain agreed.

Krone is originally a man of the Grand Duke, but does not make such a great deal of sense in Ishtarika.

For this reason, in her case, she has convinced the people around her by showing her own quality.

"Needless to say, I have no complaints about the people of Captain Dill. Come on, is there something wrong?

And Ain't noticed. As Krone advised, for one thing, I decided not to say anything.

"That being said, I can't possibly not report it to His Majesty... will you leave it to me?

"Sorry. I want to ask you"

"Hehe... I understand that. His Royal Highness Prince Wang"

So Krone writes a note in his notebook.

I don't know what I filled out, but Krone would be able to take care of everything.

"Is this what Ein's consultation is about?

"Oh. I don't know, but I think my heart's soothed."

"Good for you. Then why don't you take my advice next time?"

Come here. and Krone, who called Ain with a mouth puck.

Ain quickly stood up and approached her desk.

"Talk to me?

"Really? Will you look through this?

"- Proposed use of tax revenues, as well as zoning on petitions?

The contents are also filled with quite fine characters for a subject that seems to be difficult.

The material appears to have been carefully crafted in Krone's letters and the ease of reading is as usual.

"I have more tax revenues than I thought."

There are still fewer compared to other large cities, such as Isto and Magna.

But I could dream about that forehead if I thought of it as an emerging city, Strom.

Ain't got eyes round but admire.

"Taxes dropped by adventurers and merchants account for most of the tax revenues in every city. Strahm is busy with both of them."

"I see. Who was the tax sharer until we got here?

"Previously in charge was Duke Vols."

Leonard's father? That's just great, Ain't nodding.

"So you're talking about... using this tax revenue on me?

"Ain't no lord of Strom, is he?

She said it was a consultation, but the contents of it would be Ein's problem in one way or another.

Because Ain't the one who decides the future of Strom.

"You're suddenly responsible, that's"

The Duke of Forth hears an honest man. Tough on me, tough on others. It's a tribute to nobility.

It is heavy pressure to succeed him like that, but it is not possible to be king in frustration here.

(Even so, Ishtarika already has advanced civilizations and cultures…)

Inside, there was this problem.

For example, if this is Heim. There was more to be done to Ain than ever.

It is difficult to make the finest things that can be done even finer with your hands later.

"- You know, what are the strengths of Strom?"

Ask Krone to whine.

"I'm sure it's a possibility."

"I mean, does that feel like a baby where humans say it?

Ayn closes his eyes when he sees Krone shake his neck vertically.

Even though it was small, I felt like I got a little clue.

(Specialize in ports and take away the value of magna. But if we focus on research and development, the ist's worth...)

Of course, it's impossible to beat a historic city in about a few years.

But given the future, I honestly can't even nod that it's just a copycat.

... Ein roars but keeps thinking.

(Conversely... what big cities are not in Ishtarika)

It is also difficult to find a city where adventurers predominate. Because there's a city called Baltic.

In the first place, Baltic could be said to have grown that far because of the nearby presence of something called Demon King Castle.

In Strahm, a few hours away in the Wang capital, it's impossible to flourish as an adventurer's town.

"- Oh, speaking of which,"

But, uh, Ein remembered last year's war.

We landed in Rockdam and headed for Haim, on the opposite side of the continent.

What happened at that time occurred to me, and something about an area came to my mind.

"If this is the case, you might want to ask Mr. Graff for his opinion -"

"A, Ein? How could you...?

"Sorry, Krone! Can we get Mr. Graff to come to Strahm? If you can't, I'd like to go back to King's Capital and talk to you..."

Ain stuck it in Krone.

On Ain's face, which is about a few centimeters away, Krone stops moving by blinking repeatedly.

Then, after a little while, I regained my sanity,

"Huh... wait a minute, huh? I'll look into it now."

I blush my cheeks, cough up and open my notebook.

I also have restlessness at hand and a rush of fingers turning the page.

"Um, Krone? It doesn't have to be that hasty..."

"A... it's Ein's fault, isn't it!? What, you're the only one so calm... not sloppy!

When you complain with your lips pointing at a decent facial eye, you turn your gaze back on the notebook to hide the lightness.

Years later, being acted upon from Ain didn't lose the illumination.

"Look! Looks like Grandpa can afford it this month!

"Oh, thank you"

Handing Ain a notebook, he put both elbows on his desk.

Cover your face with your palms and cool your lit cheeks.

"Looks like you'll be okay with this. Can you get Mr. Graff to call this mansion?

"... I can do that, can't I?

"Well, I'll ask for about two weeks. It's not a good idea to hold him in my personal name for two weeks, in Ishtarika's name, please."

For a long time.

Wondering what he would ask, he asks Ain while Krone keeps his face hidden.

"Why Grandpa? Or what did Ain come up with?

"I just wanted to borrow a little wisdom. Wisdom of the champion of trade."

The champion of trade - he was in charge of all land transportation in Heim, alias Graf Augusto.

Krone also heard an alias he hadn't heard in a long time and finally pointed his face at Ain.

"And what's the material on that continent over there?

"Well... I do"

Ain't never answered. Still, Krone answers according to Ein's words.

He is so full of powerful manhood when he is acting, that he feels happy to follow honestly.

Krone gets up and takes a few of the books of interest out of the corner of the bookshelf.

"Yes. But what do you use it for?

"It's every investigation. Thought I'd learn some history."

"Hmm... so what did you come up with?

"I'll let you know when I can sort it out a little bit more, so it'll help if you wait a little longer."

Krone nods in sigh.

Ain then thanked him and advanced his legs to leave the office,

"Oh, Ein? Where are you going?

"I got a job, too, so I thought I'd go to my own office."

"No, you can't."

"... Huh?

"So, no."

I don't know what's not working.

Ein looks back and looks at Krone, but Krone smiles with pleasure.

"The material was purchased at my personal expense."

"Oh, oh... yeah"

"So you don't need me to lend it to you as an assistant to Prince Wang."

It makes sense. But I wonder why you said this.

"But Ein wants to read that book, right?

"I really want to read it. How can I lend it to you?

The question was what Krone wanted.

She doesn't open her mouth, just uses her fingers to tell Ain.

"Huh?"

Ain was confused. Krone did it because he just pointed to the chair on the desk.

I don't know why. I'm confused.

"If you want to read that book, will you come back here?

……

Ain went back. Then she pushed Ain's back and let him sit in her seat,

- It's me. I'm off this afternoon.

"It is. But how could that be with this book... Krone?

Fluffy, her hair spread and Krone sat down.

That's on Ain's lap. The soft feel spreads across both thighs of Ain.

The same gorgeous scent tickled Ein's nasal cavity.

"If you really want to read that book, you can't just read it here. It doesn't have to be Ein's office, does it?

"... ha. You know what?"

Retribution to Ain't who answers no purpose.

It is also the result of a desire to sweeten Ain.

I don't recall spending time with Krone these days.

Because I've been chased in quite a busy time since I came to Strahm.

"But, you know, I've got so many books, I don't think it's gonna end in one day, right?

"Really? Then you can come back tomorrow."

Krone answers with a floating voice.

"What if it's night and it's not over?

"When that happens, let's stay in my room."

(…… Hmm)

It wasn't a bad choice. Rather, it's a temptation to dare slow down the work speed.

But when you think about Strom, you know, I'm sorry, but I have to give up that temptation.

Ain't got his mouth full.

"Now, that's pretty good, too, right?

"... I just thought the job was important."

"Hehe... right. I don't care if you don't have any excuses, you can always stay."

Exactly. Ain nodded deeply behind Krone.

Then, he seems to have forgotten his dissatisfaction until just now, when Krone laughs as he leans down.

"Well. Where do you want to find out?

"Uh - that's..."

◇ ◇ ◇

"His Royal Highness Prince Wang. Graf Augusto, I'm here."

A few days later. Graf came to Strom from Wang Du.

Ein's wish was to keep the schedule down for about two weeks.

It was Ain's office that came. So, Ain and Krone were waiting.

"Mr. Graff. Long time no see."

"No, it's been a long time since I've seen this one. By the way, there's something I'd like to ask Non."

"Actually, it is. If you're going to ask me this, I thought Mr. Graff would be the best."

When Ain answered this, Krone handed Graf a thick envelope.

"Go ahead, Grandpa"

"Mm-hmm. This material is on the agenda for today, isn't it?

"You're right, Grandpa."

Hearing his granddaughter's answer, Graf unfastens the envelope.

When the contents are taken out, the title paper is glanced at.

And that's the next moment. Graf's eyes turned to seriousness.

"- May I see it?

Graf looks at Ain and asks. In those eyes, I remember the reliability.

"Of course. I hope you'll give me your opinion."

Ain raised his hand and urged.

The graph then turns the paper with a serious face and looks at the content.

One turns, another one… it lasted for more than a dozen minutes.

"... I see. That's why you called me here."

"Yes, you seem to understand the circumstances and most importantly,"

We don't have enough time to look through everything.

But when he finished checking a few sheets, Graf looked up and Ain.

"I understand the circumstances. In the words of His Royal Highness Prince Wang, I would now like to ask you to this effect."

"Okay. The purpose of this plan is…"

Around the corner, Ain speaks to Graf by mixing his gestures.

"Port town Magna. There was a little problem in this town. It's an expanding port problem."

Ishtarika, where population growth continues. In other words, the demand for fishermen also keeps increasing.

Then, the scale of the port now in existence began to narrow, and the construction of a new port was about to be rushed.

"But that's not going to be easy. Because we have to sort out the compartments that we have now."

"... I guess. It's not going to be that easy to expand the town."

"You're right....... and magic city ist. This city, too, had small problems for research."

Ain't talking.

Problem with the magic city ist - it's too far from the port town magna.

Direct flights are not connected to these two cities, and it cannot be said that transportation is good.

Then, there are situations where it is difficult to get what is needed for research.

There was a researcher named Oz who had come all the way to Magna to buy materials for research.

Like him, there are never many researchers who take the time to work.

"In that regard, Strom has plans to have direct flights in place. So I thought about Strahm's future policy."

"So that's this material…"

"Yes, it took me a few days to complete it with Krone"

Answering like this, Ain coughed up again.

And he answered:

"Birdland (...). You know that, right?

"Naturally. Non and the others went to Euro via Birdland and crossed to Ishtarika. Even if not, Non interacted with Birdland more than once."

"… but cities like Birdland cannot be achieved in Ishtarika. A city where merchants are so fierce, because this country can't do it."

Graf's face changed.

When I thought I was distracted, I chopped the wrinkles deep and made him laugh.

"So what I'm aiming for... is a commercial city more than Birdland. It's the heart of many major cities, and we want to create a big town that's indispensable for the future development of Ishtarika."

Yes. This is why I called Graf the champion of trade.

What a dream story just to hear a word. Hearing the words now, Graf laughed high and applauded Ain.

Birdland also had a side like a nursery on the continent.

I wonder how that would be expressed in the power of Ishtarika, and Graf was looking forward to it.
