Three days after the letter arrived.
I was reading a book I bought at the inn on my day off. [M]
In my last life, I did at least a few silver books, but now I don't know I can buy them for a few copper coins.
I thought the times had changed.
See the book I bought you while I thought so.
Titled "The Formation of the Sixteen Cities Alliance"
This is the alliance to which Yodon belongs, the city in which I live.
This neighborhood is apparently dominated by a coalition of cities, not countries.
Opening the page, it said that the establishment was now two hundred years old.
They say it's an alliance created to resist the rule of the 'Zoon Republic' of the North.
They said that more than seventy cities had joined the Alliance initially, but now only sixteen seem to remain.
Is there no choice in this? An urban alliance is a political system in which urban states are united.
If we bump each other's sovereignty, there will be war between cities, and there will be other nations attacking us and destroying us with that gap.
Honestly, it's surprising that there are still sixteen cities left.
You're too resistant to conquer?
Well, it's none of my business.
With that in mind, I was thirsty, so I reached out to the table to drink tea, and I tried to drink tea.
"Lewie, a customer is here."
"Buffoo."
I accidentally sprayed it because the door opened and I was called without a knock.
"Ho, ho... hey, hey, Tina. Don't go in the room without a knock."
"It's not good. I'm childhood friendly, so I don't care."
Ugh. I wonder why my childhood habits in previous and present lives don't care about manners.
Then it's hard to go to my wife.
Ha, I can't help being angry.
"So, who's the customer?
"Two women for you and the president of the Chamber of Commerce who came to our country before."
Is the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Yue? Probably an escort or something.
Hmm. In the meantime, do you want to talk to Yue about the future?
"So, where is Chairman Deane?
Asking Tina that, Tina pointed down with her finger. What's the point of showing that?
"Are you down there?
"Yeah, I'll be waiting in the talking room."
"Right. That's tough."
I plugged the discharge into the book I was reading and left the room with Tina at the table.
Leave the room and head straight to the talking room.
Yue is rather short minded. If we don't get there soon, we're going to have a lot of trouble.
As I walked with that in mind, I heard a talk coming from the bickering room.
Apparently, he's bickering.
"Thank you for waiting..."
"Hey, Lord Lewie. Was it a breath disaster?
And the one who comes to voice is Yue, who looks like a dodgy big success.
There were two familiar faces next to each other.
"Dear Deane. Is this the one you know better in Devil's Country?
It's a woman and an elf talking to Yue with a beautiful voice like a bell.
Sleek in shape, slightly lonely in the chest, but with a fair and graceful face.
He has a sword on his hips and is dressed in a costume with armor and a dress all in one. She wears a circlet on her forehead, visible from the gap between her long blue hair.
I've seen a lot of elves in my last life, but I've never seen a beautiful elf like this before.
rather than surprised.
Because this elf is someone I've known in my last life.
Rochus the name. He is one of the granddaughters of Elkas, a subethnic Elf general.
General Elkas said to me, "Wouldn't you have a daughter or granddaughter as your wife? I remember him well because he sent me a letter with a sketch, and he used to lobby me with patience.
My granddaughter also brought me here, and she used to make me deal with her.
Steady, you were only about my height back then, and now you're taller than me.
I feel like I haven't had a relative's child in a long time.
With such emotion aside, I see another offering.
"Heh, this is the ex-prince of the demonic kingdom that Deanen says he likes?
Who would say that while looking at me? [M] It was Murakamatsu-san.
I hadn't seen him in nearly a thousand years, but it doesn't make sense through surprise that he hasn't changed at all.
