Episode 4-4 Marquis Gramp Thoughts

Accepting Marquis Gramp's offer to have time to get confirmation, the discussion was to pinch a small break.

And Tina came to the Marquis de Grand because she wanted to hear the story. Alice took a seat when she prepared herself for the bargaining material.

For that reason, all that's left of us right now are me and Claire. Hey and Sophia.

"But... are you glad I let Tina go alone?

"I'm fine because there's nothing wrong with us."

No, no, Claire, hey. That's not what I meant, I'm talking about leaving Loricon and the Toddler Girl alone and it's okay... just hard to hear.

Or so I thought, Sophia pulled my sleeve.

"It's okay, Lion, brother"

You mean Tina's okay? Why is that...?

"Maybe you're using the favor?

"Enough to read their emotions, though."

"Oh well... then Tina is at ease. But Sophia? You're not totally okay with this yet, are you?

"Honestly, I'm still a little scared."

Then my line was easily blocked by Sophia shaking her neck sideways.

"Sophia wants to work hard for your brother Lion. So let Sophia work with you."

"... ok. If that's all you have to say, please. But you can't just do it."

"Yeah, thanks, Lion, brother!

Hugs Sophia hastily as she jumps. Then we discussed it just a little bit and when they were lying, they were supposed to pull their sleeves and let us know.

Then Tina came back.

"Welcome home, how was it?

"I answered honestly because I was asked about Master Patrick and about the school.... So that's good, right?

"Yeah, that's good, thanks. So, what about the Marquis Gramp?

"When I took the back of the story, I was talking to someone. They'll be here in a little while. I'm going to help Mr. Alice."

"Hmm, well. Then go."

and well a few minutes to finish interacting like that and wait. Marquis Gramp returned and was to resume the discussion.

"Well, I got some confirmation about Patrick's behavior. I don't think Patrick's the one who told the rumors in your territory is lying."

"So...?

"Oh, you're the victims of this one. Let me apologize for that."

Marquis Gramp lowers his head gently.

"Really? So you can ask me nothing about this one, right?

"Sorry, I can't do that. That idiot tells me he's been shamed by you. If someone takes the blame, my mentors will stand."

Wow, what a line with no body or lid. I may not even be honest in a way, but if they take responsibility for that, it's not what stood up.

"I don't think we have anything to do with this."

"Huh. But is it true that you let Patrick scratch the big shame?

"Well...... yes. Shouldn't we do something about Patrick spreading the lie?

"It would be easier if I could do that. As you know, the House of Roadwell is our division. I can't do much underneath."

- And Sophia pulled my sleeve. That's a sign that you lied, isn't it? But... what's a lie? It's true the House of Roadwell is a division, isn't it?

...... uhh. You don't know until you look a little further.

"By the way, what is it about making you take responsibility?

"First an apology to the House of Roadwell. And give Miss Sophia to Patrick."

"We're not going to talk about it."

"Then give Miss Claire to my wife. Then I'll take it from you."

"I also refuse to do that. Because we both need to be in Granchez territory."

"I can't do that either, I can't do this either. You think that's gonna work?

What this irrational interaction. From the beginning, aren't you going to negotiate with us?

I glance at the face of the Marquis Gramp thinking so. But you don't look angry. On the contrary, there is a hidden look to expect something from you.

... you have another thought?

"Don't you have any other choice?

"Right.... Then give me that school. Then I'll take care of the Rhodwell family."

"... school, is it?

"Oh. Right. Aren't you bringing your students and teachers because you're going to sell us the usefulness of the school?

"... Interested in school?

"I was frowning when I heard the rumors. The clothes you're wearing are fantastic. I'm interested enough."

Heh... if I give you school, you'll forgive me.

No, I'm not going to give you the school, but I'm a little surprised because I didn't think negotiating a lineage to say that would work.

I thought there was no point in the circumstances of the noblemen ments...... that part of the lie earlier that ‘I can't go under because I'm a branch’ is a lie?

Shall we explore it for a moment?

"So you ran into a bunch of bandits on your way here."

"A bunch of bandits?

"Yeah. Anything. They say he's a peasant whose life stopped standing because of his inaction, right?

"... well. So, you killed them all?

"Are you concerned about life and death?

"No way. That's not what I found out about the bandits"

Sophia pulls my sleeve again. Is the current line a lie, too?

"All the bandits have decided to capture them and let them work as criminal slaves in our territory. No problem, right?

"I told you. No bandits, not our inhabitants or anything. Whatever you want."

"Really, thank you.... Oh by the way, I'm a criminal slave, but I'm not going to treat you badly."

"Yeah, right."

Uh-huh. Sounds like you're not even being mean, but you also look relieved.

Considering in conjunction with earlier lies, that means Marquis Gramp is forced to keep taxes and worried about the fate of the villagers lost on the streets, huh?

Mm-hmm. I don't know. I can't believe it, let's wrap up what we know.

First of all, the gramp area has been out of order for the past few years. And I'm worried about the end of it, keeping impossible takeaways from some of the people. Plus, there's a reason we can't separate the Rhodwell family. Marquis Gramp like that is Loricon.

... Could Marquis Territory be in financial difficulty?

"With that said... I hear there's a tin mine in Roadwell territory? I say we can't take much around here despite the demand as a material for bronze"

"... what is that?"

"No, I was wondering if it might be about rights"

"Huh. I'm sure it's involved. It's just a profit."

At that moment, Sophia won't pull my sleeve.

Oh, fuck...? Isn't that a lie? I thought right was the reason you were behind the Roadwell family... is that my mistake?

No, but that doesn't suit Tsujitsu. You're missing something - and that's when I thought so, Claire. Hey, I opened my mouth.

"Marquis Gramp. You said earlier that it was a marginal gain, but aren't those marginal gains indispensable in the Grand Territory today?

... Oh well. Even if that is essential to the gramp territory, if it is only a trivial gain from the whole thing, there is no lie in the line just now.

That's Claire. Hey, you're just managing Granchez territory instead of me.

"What are you going to say, even if you think about what you're going to say, that our territory is being persecuted? That sounds stupid. That can't be happening."

And now it's time Sophia pulled my sleeve.

Definitely. The gramp area is in distress with food shortages hanging up. I would have returned the tax rates for some villages because otherwise all villages would fall together.

... Hmm, I didn't cause it. Good - for a few reasons, but I was a little relieved that it wasn't to fall for me or something.

Anyway, it's not because the Marquis Gramp is behind Viscount Roadwell because he's blood. Because it's poverty caused by inaction and we need the rights to the mines owned by the House of Roadwell.

It's easy to talk about, for example. You just have to make him understand that it's better to get a hand in hand with the Granchez family than with the Roadwell family.

That's all.

And we have a variety of technologies that lead to profit. The technology was never meant to be monopolized from the beginning. So there's nothing wrong with it as much as offering it as a priority.

This means that there are as many cards as there are to draw the Marquis Gramp to his side.

"Thank you Sophia. And Claire. Hey, too. Thanks to you, we found the solution thread."

Ku, ku ku. Get ready, Patrick. They made me struggle scattered, but I'm going to thoroughly smash the relationship between the Rhodwells and the Gramps from now on.

And you'll regret your hands on my students and my inhabitants!

"Wow... your brother Lion's heart is black..."

I was drawn back to me by Sophia, who read my mind.
