Ore no Isekai Shimai ga Jichou Shinai!

After a few days in the elves, we returned to Granchez territory. It was scattered as an engagement trip... but the circumstances are the only thing I can do.

Let's take another opportunity to put in a follow up.

That's why I came back to the mansion. Tina reported this while she was away, so Claire and I decided to talk in the office.

"Welcome home, Master Lion, Master Claire. In a milk tea made of Autumnal darjeeling, this is a butter cookie. If you don't mind."

Claire. Hey's office. Sitting opposite Claire Hey, Tina, who just showed up, began to line up her tea and cookies on the table.

I guess it's freshly baked. The distinctive aroma of butter emerges.

"Is Autumnal a Fall Picked Tea Leaf?

"Yes. The truth is the second flash seems to smell better and taste better..."

"Oh, it's hard to save."

Although technology has advanced rapidly, it was originally at an early medieval level. It must be hard to store tea leaves for more than six months - I thought,

"There's also that, because the cookies I made were butter cookies"

"Ooh?

If the cookies you make are butter cookies, why do you have the otamunal tea leaves?

... uhm. Tea is an aristocratic sauce - albeit the lowest level of skill in brewing tea in this world. That's where we used our previous life's knowledge to spread the word about how to make delicious tea.

But you can't follow me with that tea story...

"Autumnal has an intense flavour, making it suitable for milk tea."

"Oh well, butter cookies go with milk tea!

Finally understood. I mean, I feel subtly followed.

Well, I can't help it. Alice is better at cooking, and they hone their skills every day. I guess knowledge alone is the rule for me to be outrun.

...... I still regret it a bit.

"Brother, what's wrong with you suddenly staring out the window in silence?

"No, hey, Tina's growing emotionally,"

"Hmm? The tea that Tina brewed for me, if you don't drink it soon, it's gonna get cold, right?

"Whoa, I'll take it."

I enjoy tea and cookies in turn.

Tina seems passionate about making cookies, and their completeness is very high. So all I get is a feeling that it's delicious. That's why I looked straight into Tina's black eyes.

"Thanks for everything, Tina. It's delicious."

"~ ~ ~ ~ ~"

Once again, Tina is cute enough to get bright red.

"I've always thought... my brother is just a natural woman"

"Say what. It's important to tell them how grateful you are, isn't it?

Not every day as normal goes on for granted. So don't forget to appreciate the special kindness that can be directed as a matter of course.

This is what I learned from the failures of my previous life.

I told you...

"Is that what you call natural? I'm not saying it's a bad thing."

Something frightened me. If I hadn't thanked you, I wouldn't have. You'd be angry, irrational. But I know minutes are bad in this hand conversation. So I just decided to get back to it.

"... Tina. Will you let me hear the report and what you're doing?

"Ah, yes. First of all, the relationship behind the bandits who were making a scene in the streets, but there seems to be no doubt that the man who said he harmed himself is from the Zaccanian Empire. But that's all I know..."

"Right. Well...... that would be harder than that"

"I'm sorry"

"I don't care. You can just increase the credibility of the information."

"Thank you. So I was washing out the damage that didn't surface..."

Tina clouded her words there once. Apparently, it's troublesome. He has a sinister look on his face.

"What did you find out?

"Actually... one girl who was a student at Mullet School, is missing"

Breathtaking about what I feared. But there's no reason to be upset here, and I tried to fix my normal mind.

"... when are you telling me that the student is missing?

"It probably went missing about a year ago."

"- What!?

I was listening next to me, Claire. Hey, I roughed up my voice. That should be it, too. The possibility of Mullet School graduates being targeted was taken into account, because they had given instructions to take adequate measures.

And yet, it's usually impossible for a graduate to go missing and not notice for a year.

"What the hell kind of territory is that?

"That's the... Granchez territory"

"Lying, right?

Claire, hey is out of line. It was an incredible thought, too.

"I doubted my ears when I heard the story, too. But I have a situation."

"... what's the situation?

I'm losing my word, Claire. On behalf of hey, ask Tina.

"The only girl who's missing is a prep, so she's not exactly a graduate."

"You mean he went missing before he went up to undergraduate school?

"No, that's not why."

"What do you mean?

"I call my name Mu, but the kid was sick and weak, and he was suspended at the time he finished his prep class. So I thought I was living in the village..."

"When I looked it up, you said it was missing?

"Yeah. By the way, in that village, the knight from the Granchez family picked him up. So my parents thought I was back in school."

"... the knight of the Granchez family?

"Yeah. That's what my parents say. They wore armor with the Granchez family crest, he said. But there is no record of a knight taking such action in our midst. I can't say for sure that the design didn't see the real thing either, but it's probably fake."

"Hey... what's this?"

I turn my gaze to Claire, see if I have an idea.

"Yeah, I agree. I think there's a good chance."

"Right..."

In other words, to say that the person who grabbed the elf and the person who grabbed the student are likely to be the same offender and a person from a neighbouring country.

"Do you two know anything?

"Oh. Actually, even in the elves, I was talking about a knight from the Granchez family who grabbed the elf's daughter. Other than that, I didn't have a clue... it was probably the guys from the neighboring country"

"If the M.O. is the same, it's likely the same offender... isn't it premature to decide it's the work of your neighbor?

"I can't say for sure. If Elves and Mullet School graduates have been captured, it is likely that they will be the work of their neighbors in combination"

"What does that mean?

Tina puts on her little neck.

"Where do you think the technology to teach at Mullet School comes from?

"Where... is the memory of the previous life of Master Lion and Mr. Alice?

"Right. But only a very limited number of people know that. Generally speaking, that's not the information that's spread, is it?

"Oh... did Alice bring in the ancient technology that High Elf possesses?"

"That's what I'm saying."

By the way, the rumor that I deliberately circulated is that I was given knowledge by the high elves, and it's set to be Alice the Elf... Rumors are also spreading these days that Alice is the high elf.

"I see...... Elves and Mullet School graduates. Both crimes aimed at the knowledge of the Granchez family. If you think about it, you're likely to be a neighbor."

"Oh. If you're from the Liselheim Country, you're not supposed to do such a rough thing."

There is no denying the possibility that Liselheim humans will grab the elves for slavery purposes.

But.

Even if it was a small village, for example, a scholarship system could be used to send children to Mullet School. It is unlikely that Liselheim humans will be targeted by Mullet School students.

In addition, Ayashi village was recently damaged. The culprit said the aim was the knowledge of the Granchez family and was an associate of a neighbouring country. Everything will likely be connected in neighbouring countries.

"But... if it's the country behind the kidnappers, it's troublesome."

Claire, hey, squeals pompously. That was exactly what I was afraid of, so I replied sighingly, yes.

"If you were caught as a slave, there's a chance you could buy it back. But if it's under the control of the Zaccanian Empire... I think it's pretty hard to rescue it"

In the first place, if it were a kidnapping in Gurumi, I would never try to put it on the table. In that case, it's just hard to locate the whereabouts.

What's more... Elves, of course, and students who only graduate from prep school, don't have the knowledge they want. What happens after I find it useless...

Worst case scenario, it could be he's not already alive.

"We need to deal with this as soon as possible. Do we cross the ocean?

"I agree to deal with this as soon as possible, but we can't cross the ocean easily, can we?

"Hmm, why not? You don't need permission to travel to and from the country, do you?

This world, there shouldn't be anything passport about it, but it gives me a neck.

"If it's enough to make someone investigate, it's fine. If we were going to go to the neighborhood, maybe we could all stop it?

"It is... indeed"

We're not complacent, we have to be in this country now.

I wouldn't give permission to say that we're going to a neighboring country - a country that might also be after the knowledge of the Granchez family - and say hi.

No, I don't exactly need permission, so I'm sure I can handle it if I waste it. I'd like to keep it as a last resort if I could.

"If it's true, I guess I should leave it to someone, but if you're saying that a student or elf has been caught, I want to do everything I can for you. I don't know if I can talk to Mr. Crain or anybody."

"... ah"

Tina raised her voice to my grunt unexpectedly. What are you upset about, your black eyes swimming?

"What's wrong with you?

"Sorry, I forgot your case to report"

"A case to report? Is there anything else wrong?

"No, it's not a problem.... Probably"

"Probably... what?

"Actually... Her Royal Highness Alberto and Her Royal Highness Princess Noel have been staying in the city of Mullet for a few days. We're immersed in a foot bath maid cafe."

"... His Highness Alberto and His Highness Princess Noel?

"Yes, those two"

"Are you immersed in a foot-and-water maid cafe?

"Yes, I'm immersed. Specifically, rent out VIP seats all day."

"... what the hell are those two doing?

I don't know what it is, but I don't think I need to go talk to Marquis Grande.
