Me, Adventurer! - Undoubled Skills Are Flat Magic (WEB Version)
Episode 177 - People Have Stories, Cats Have Stories -
Anya is the princess.
Anja, a foodie with no eyes for fish, is the princess.
If you notice, the princess is Anya, who sleeps round.
The princess is Anya, who is sometimes poisoned and punished.
Anja is the princess, hungry and grooming food with a pitiful face.
Anja is the princess stretching her ears and tail with a deflected face.
"Convinced...... no, I don't understand"
"I feel like I've been given some very rude imagination. Protest for now, darling."
Anya sitting next to me on my left slaps Pessi Pessi on my back with her tail. Instead of hurting at all, it's only a reward for me being a mofflist. The necosippo is supple in the moff flavor.
We are seated in the biggest house in the settlement, in what appears to be the biggest board room. The futon brought what was always provided for the carriage. Small but the cushion works well.
Usually Woo on my right, Kristera sits on my left, but this time Anya sits on my left. Cristella gave it to me. That's the beauty of Christella, isn't it?
The status quo is on standby with surveillance. At the only entrance and exit to the room, two brown-haired cat youth stand and watch over this one. Namari, if I gave you verse, would you eat it?
He hasn't even gotten to the point where he can trust me yet, although he could have his sword tip down for now thanks to Anya. Heavy towns in the settlement are discussing responses in separate rooms, during which time we are under house arrest.
"Leave Anya be royal for now"
Move something sideways to the right with both hands.
Woo, who was brought something in front of me, glances at me with a strange face. Nothing, just feelings.
"Hi, you're starting to expand like you're just going to have to say hello"
"I don't think we can talk about it if we leave it... but there are some signs that you might get caught up in the rub."
"Well, it's definitely not going to be land."
"Oh, you're in trouble. Will you be free while you're at it?
"... goodness hurry. Evil is faster."
"Without evil. Um, but leaving like this is going to leave a bad cause."
This situation has arisen on my whim, but there's not much of Anya's thoughts involved.
When I said I was going to Anya's hometown, if I really didn't want to, Anya would have been able to refuse. I wouldn't activate a slave print for that, and I could lead you to a place of lies and delude you. She looks natural, and she's actually a good daughter on the terrain and in procedure, Anya is.
Yet the fact that you brought me to this hiding place with a secret platter is a sign of willingness that you want me to break this current situation. Indeed, the current situation in this settlement is terminal.
"Nonetheless, you were all very welcoming. It was like a hero's triumph."
"Uh-oh... that's because Atashi is a princess witch."
"The princess?
You've come up with another word far from Anya. Even though "princess" alone is uncomfortable, if "witch" is added, it lightly transcends the limits of understanding. I feel like a PC with multiple drops of gigadata at the same time and eight hours or so until the end of the copy.
"The Royal Seema has two faces: his face as ruler who can rule the country, and his face as guardian of ancient monuments that last from generation to generation."
"Well, ancient ruins! I wonder what that is!?"
Grandpa Murdoch has embarked on himself. You mean, it's been over thirty years since you conquered the Seema kingdom, and you haven't even been able to find out about that? Well, dogs are faithful to the Lord's command, but there's something else you can't see. I'm just too enthusiastic about winning the war, otherwise I'll barely bother you. The existence of this hiding place is proof of this.
"I don't know about Atashi for more information. Anything, in the temple of God, the genus of the sea and the God of life, only a princess witch can communicate with that God. It seems the temple is at the end of the underground passage leading from the former royal palace."
"When it comes to belonging to God?
"Sure, you said God of the tide. It is the tradition of the kingdom of Seema that the princess who interacted with God in the temple will be the next queen."
If the world is the world, you mean Anya was the queen? What anxiety...... no, only fishery-related is likely to be well protected. I feel like I'm going to rule with all my might just to protect it there. Anya is that kind of daughter.
Is it the temple of the gods? Speaking of which, the only temples I've been to are the main and minute temples of God of Law and Commerce. Apparently, there were many temples of God in the King's capital, but they haven't gone anywhere yet.
I don't know a tidal god. By name, is there a god who benefits from abundant fishing through the currents?
"Was the kingdom of Seema a maritime state?
"That's right. I made money from fishing and the marine trade. It was a relay for trade goods transported across the Black Mountains from Border Sets."
"Yeah? Then wasn't it a friendly relationship with the kingdom? Why did the kingdom tie hands with the bandeau, not the Seema kingdom?
"The Seema royal family is on track, Lord Faith."
Depending on what Grandpa Murdoch explained to me, the kingdom and the kingdom of Seema were in a cooperative relationship during the early years of the war of unity. They said it gave them an overwhelming advantage because of that, but you think that made the Kingdom of Seema a heavenly dog? Even though it's a cat, Tengu.
He said that the Kingdom of Seema has offered to include the Princess of the Royal Seema in the main chamber of the Kingdom, as a condition for the maintenance of friendship after reunification, and to annul the contract for the payment of the price of aid.
The king of the kingdom at the time had already received his daughter-in-law from one of the Three Marquis houses, and it could not have been possible to abolish it and welcome a full office from another country. Doing so would give birth to certainty with the Marquis, leaving a spark of political anxiety in the country.
Even for the annulment of payment contracts, they had to suffer considerable losses, which could result in a significant loss of State power. I wanted to influence you, but I assisted you for it, but that doesn't make sense.
There's no way the kingdom drinks on the terms of unilateral loss. In the end, the kingdom lost its support until then, connecting itself with Bandeau anew. The place where you can lose money is the great thing about the king at the time. Normally, I would postpone my cheat decision by thinking about 'recovering just for the investment' or something.
The post-unification conditions put out by Bandeau are to include the princess of the Bandeau royal family (now the Ende royal family) in the royal family of the kingdom because it is fine in the side room in exchange for not imposing taxes on trade via the former Kingdom of Seema. Compared to the kingdom of Seema, it is a favorable condition. Tax exemptions in particular can also be described as a condition of easy breaking to recover expenditure on aid until then.
After the end of the war, reconstruction will require massive supplies. I can only import what I can't buy domestically, and I make money because what I take is worth the price, and I can sell it without taxation. It also moisturizes the country with money dropped by a profitable merchant. It may have been a hard decision for Ende, but I guess I couldn't replace my belly on my back. Wankers are serious, so they're not good at teasing.
"That's why the growing Seema royal family was doomed... it was supposed to be"
"I didn't think the royal family of ocean nations was surviving in the mountains," he said.
"This isn't even the territory of the old Seema kingdom. Squirt. When my dad settled in, it was an undisclosed secret that didn't live in goblins either."
I still think it's a secret border, though. It's so strange that people live there.
"Since I was a little girl, I've been hearing all about the rebuilding of the kingdom and the resentment towards the Ende royal family. Even though the drawing gave me the name of the fish, all I could eat was a small river fish. Still, Atashi was born with dark hair, a testament to the royal family, so she was treated favourably as a future queen. Half the children in the other houses were ill by the time they were five years old, and one in every three survivors starved to death."
As Anya stares at a point on the floor, she spits out her memories of the time.
"I thought to myself when my mother died of illness. When Atashi is in this village, the elderly keep dreaming of a royal reconstruction. And the child is sick, starving to death. Without Atashi, the only princess witch, I'm sure I'll wake up from a stupid dream. Besides, without the privileged Atashi, the other kids won't have to starve for that. That's how I got out of the village the night I turned ten."
Are you alone from this secret border and out in the middle of the night? You didn't get attacked or lost by demons often. Very lucky.
"It was really hard. Driven around by monkey demons, he jumped into the falls and ran away, lost his way in the mountains and ran out of food, and managed not to eat it with the nuts growing in the mountains... when he arrived at the pint, which was the king's capital of the old Seema kingdom, he was on the verge of falling hungry. That's when Ochan, the adventurer who was the merchant's escort, helped me eat dinner and took me to the kingdom with him. Otchan had a daughter about the same age as Atashi, and you said you couldn't leave her alone. I also had Ochan escort me to the Adventurer Register. I just want to say thank you to Ochan."
They're attacking me, and I'm lost! And yet I can't believe you're surviving, a little less than halfway between business, adventure and luck. Isn't this girl actually the protagonist of a different story than Christella? Is this the beginning of the Kingdom Reconstruction Edition? All Army Assault?
That Ochan is Anya's benefactor. I'll have to look for it and thank you. You've got one more thing to do. Well, it's not like the schedule's buried, that's about it, okay?
"Boss, this village has a future. I can't believe you pulled off to such a remote place to rebuild your kingdom. I want everyone to wake up."
"There are ways I can help rebuild the kingdom, aren't there?
"Fe, Lord Faith, is that!?"
Grandpa Murdoch rushes into conversation.
Anya shakes her head against it.
"It's pointless. The people of the old Seema kingdom already live as the people of the Ende kingdom. I can't go back any longer."
"Right. I think so too."
Apparently there is no Kingdom Reconstruction Edition. Grandpa Murdoch sighs ho. I won't, 'cause it stinks.
People are annoying. After ten years, war is a thing of the past. After more than thirty years, there will now also be generational shifts. For those who live today, the old kingdom is already a relic of the past. It's no longer worth anything.
"Boss, Atashi is a slave to the boss. You don't have to be released for the rest of your life. Instead, I want you to open up from this village, from the curse of the kingdom of Seema."
Anya complains with a serious face sometime. This is probably the first time I've seen such a serious Anya. I guess that's all I have a sense of crisis about the current situation in this settlement.
As far as words and deeds go until we come to this settlement, Anya herself should have hoped that the settlement was already doomed. Drop your reconstruction dreams and hope everyone is down the mountain. I won't know where my family is, but then I would have thought that would leave me no choice.
But knowing that the settlement is still alive, and if you can help, it's not weird that you want to help. Even the family I threw away once, I didn't hate and throw away. I just thought that was best.
Well, does Anya become child-friendly or obsessed with food because of her experience in this settlement? Convinced.
About six years after Anya popped up. Apparently this settlement hasn't changed surprisingly. In other words, the status quo is so full that we cannot afford to develop or expand it. Just a little outside pressure, for example one of the strong demonic raids there, would go straight to decline. Until now, I've just been lucky, and I've been so, so, no, it was the limit from the start. There shouldn't be any more hope for reconstruction, but we can't give up and postpone it - we're just going to doom.
I want you to help my family.
It's a simple and easy hope. Even for me, it's not a rush to help. It's just the 'meaning of help' and 'willingness of the helpable' that's the problem.
Woo moves his ears pickly and raises his head where he was lying down. Yeah, they're done with that discussion over there. Several signs are heading for this room.
Well, I wonder what kind of story you got into.
