After I left everything to Henry, I went back inside the tent.

In the tent, Alice sat in a quiet stance.

Welcome back.

"Good work, Your Majesty."

Alice stood up with a smile on her face and made a well squeezed handkerchief.

There was no tent, and there was nothing but a little tent, but I wiped my face with care without saying anything.

”Nnh”

Yes.

Alice received the handkerchief she had finished using.

As it was, I didn't hear anything.

Not without curiosity, Alice doesn't ask anything.

He made me look like a terrible wife.

When I sat in my usual place, Alice came to my side.

"I'll be away for a while tomorrow."

……

Alice stared at me with her eyes wide open.

Where are you going?

They're infiltrating the enemy lands ─ ─

No!

Alice tried to stop him by shouting without listening.

After I shouted out loud, I felt happy and held my mouth with a bad face.

Never mind, Henry's been watching me for a while.

"Of course, it's too dangerous."

"But now is the only time."

“What do you mean?”

“Leviathan - Leviathan was once a super long-range sniper who defeated the leader of the Almería rebellion while he was near the Imperial City.”

"Hah, hah..."

Alice suddenly said what she was going to say, making her face obscurely depressed.

I didn't mind going ahead.

"It produced tremendous effects, but it was too intense, so measures were taken." I can't do the same now. If you hadn't done it at that time, you could still take out the leader of the enemy army with a single strike with an ultra long range sniper, without the need for parental recruitment. "

"... but next time..."

"That's what I'm talking about."

I laughed.

Alice, who had a good head, had the essence of what I wanted to say.

"No matter what kind of strong technique or superior technology, it will be counteracted while using it, and it will become obsolete and reduce its effectiveness. Are you sure about this? Once, a single magician's fireball broke through the city walls, but now measures have been taken to put in hundreds of magicians and shoot them at once to achieve decent results. It's even more ancient, and even having an iron weapon helped me to do a thousand things."

"... yes, the song is the same"

"I don't know. I don't know much about it, but I'm sure you can see a woman like you in that area."

I nodded and said so.

That's true in all realms.

If it is a genre with a large population that is studied with major songs, technology will also be rapidly advancing.

It's hard.

“That's progress, human progress.”

……

"What's the matter, you look like a pigeon ate a bean cannon."

"No, Your Majesty is amazing after all." There are many people who said the same thing, but they only thought about themselves, and they said they didn't like the change (,,). "

I see.

I've seen people like that a lot.

Ever since he was reincarnated to Noah, before he was reincarnated.

After listening to Alice, I thought again that I would never become that kind of person.

And then we keep talking.

"Now, Yu created a technique called gaze guidance." It will be extremely powerful now, but it will eventually be counteracted and ineffective. "

"Can you do that?"

For example, if you know that this technique can only be handled by others, you don't care where you are at all. If you burn all four sides of the 100-meter tactical range with magic, you won't be able to guide your gaze anymore.

"Um... I see."

“That's extreme, but I'm going to figure out how to deal with it, if we need humans.”

"That's why I'd like to use it to defeat you while you can maximize your effectiveness."

"But! Even so!" Your Majesty doesn't have to take the risk on his own! Your Majesty's help to someone else-- "

"There's only one way to go now."

- Huh?

Alice felt a bit uncomfortable about what was going on.

"Humans get lost because of the possibilities."

"Possibly... lost?"

Can you think of an imperial emperor who would scout himself?

"That's... no, not at all"

"Hmm. That's because no emperor has ever done it." However, if I do it here now, there will be fewer people who will do it in the future, and people who are hostile to me will be forced to think so. "

……

"Even if I don't have a parent." But when they actually came, they became suspicious. And I can do it safely at the time when I was the first parental consul, playing prodigal, and the opponent was alarmed. Next time, I won't be a prodigal emperor anymore, so I'll be somewhat vigilant. "

Alice had a complex, bitter face.

"You've been thinking that much..."

Umu

"Awesome. Awesome, but..."

Alice looked like she was about to cry.

It's a bright crying face and a haircut, but given the future, this is the scene we have to do.

Alice's expression swayed like her heart, curled up, and eventually she managed to get back on her feet.

"I wish you good luck..."

Umu

I was a little overwhelmed. [M]

I wondered if there was anything I could do to keep Alice sad.

"Is there anything you want?"

Huh?

Alice was amazed.

I was very surprised at the sudden change of topic.

His eyes were wide open and his tears were twinkling.

You've done well this time, I have to reward you.

"Oh no..."

"A woman like you, I don't want any more money."

"Oh, no..."

Don't be so humble there, it includes the extra eye power that found you.

"Yes, yes... thank you..."

This time, I'm ashamed and slightly depressed.

The upward look that was still lying down showed a happy colour.

"That's why, what do you want?" No, I don't think there's anything I can't prepare. ”

"Your Majesty..."

Yeah? What's the matter, don't hold back.

"...... but......"

Umu

"Please... come to the store again"

Alice had accumulated a little and then that was it.

I smiled. [M]

"I see, I get it."

Nodding, getting up.

For a while Alice brought me a set of stationery in the corner of the tent.

So I took a pen, wrote down the minimum wording (,,), and finally left the emperor's seal.

With that, I came back to Alice.

"Here you go."

Huh?

When she offered the paper she had brought, Alice strangely took it from my hand.

Then he lowers his gaze and tries to read the text.

"This... doesn't say anything, but..."

"It's like a blank bill of lading."

Huh?

"I don't even know what you swallowed, but I know what you swallowed."

"Your Majesty..."

"I don't want to force it, I don't want to tell you now that I swallowed it."

……

“If you want to, or if you come up with something you really want, write it yourself.”

Hearing that, Alice was surprised to finally understand the size of the paper in her hand.

I won't say it out loud because it's innocent, but this is the biggest gift I've ever had since I was reborn as Noah.

Imitating the duty of the nobility, he divided hundreds to thousands of liens for each thing, but this paper is not like that.

A blank bill of lading written by the Imperial Emperor. It's not a million-dollar fuss if it's cash.

I gave it to Alice.

There are several reasons... but the biggest one is for not being able to answer her feelings.

I know why Alice doesn't want me to go.

Because there is a moist feeling there that is similar to Henry, but not similar in nature.

I know, I know, but I can't answer that right now.

I am the Emperor of the Empire.

We must do this now for the future reign.

So I made her grieve, that wabi.

Alice, who had received it, had another face.

This time, she had a slightly brighter expression than before.

Your Majesty is amazing.

Is that so?

You've seen it all, haven't you?

"... that's right."

"I see."

Alice stood up saying that and went to the place where I had written the blank bill. She took the same pen and stuck something in the blank notebook.

Then I'll come back and hand it over to me.

"This is...... 'Please go home alive?'"

“Yes, that's my number one wish.”

“This is not happening? No, I'm going to play the scout, but I'm assuming I change my life."

"Even so."

Alice laughed gently.

That smile is the most fascinating thing I've ever seen on her face, and I'm sure it's a little overwhelming.

"Interesting use."

"It's a woman's greatest selfishness, and it's a woman's privilege."

"And I'll say it in a funny way."

"It's an imitation of His Majesty."

"Hmm? Ahh, hahaha, is that so?"

A woman's privilege - a noble's privilege.

So you imitated me.

"All right, I'm going to go home alive."

Any further questioning would be innocent.

I took good care of the books Alice wrote and kept them in my pocket.

It seemed that Alice had received it correctly, and her dark expression disappeared without a trace. She only wanted to see it for as long as she had the time.
