Risou no Himo Seikatsu

A few days after Aura revealed to Yoshijiro the deep and dark business she had been hiding.

Queen Aura had set up a meeting place in a room in the Royal Palace with the Ghazir border uncle.

Of course, the Ghazir border ambassador, through his son Chabiel, has heard the content of the last shocking talks.

that General Pujol and Chabiel have offered permission to marry General Pujol and Lucinda Ghazir, eldest daughter of the Ghazir border bereavement.

On that occasion, General Pujol quickly changed the marriage to Nilda, his second daughter, because Aura told him that "Lucinda has a good interest".

But that Aura did not know Nilda existed and expressly stated that her name was not on the royal 'roster'.

Based on a series of circumstances, it is an application for an interview.

So Aura was very surprised. Because the word that came out of the mouth of Uncle Ghazir's border was, "The summons of my two daughters to the king's capital, I want to see you for a while".

"Are you saying that you want to call Miss Lucinda and Miss Nilda to the King's Capital after the beginning of the year? Let the boulders know why."

As an indication of discomfort, the queen, deliberately wrinkled between her eyebrows, in such a slightly stronger tone, urges the elderly grand aristocrat sitting face to face to explain.

Gazir's frontier uncle, showered by the queen's tough gaze, answers in a completely unwavering low voice, even as he bows his head as he feared before the building.

"Ha. As His Majesty also knows, my neighbourhood of Ghazir, Berji, was affected by a huge group of dragon noises, and the supply of salt had stopped for some time.

One of those matters was successfully resolved by His Majesty's prestige and the help of General Pujols, and the salt at the heart was driven by the General to deliver the first battle to the territory on the way to the crusade.

But because of the ensuing proceedings, my son Chavier and a hundred soldiers in our territory still remain in the King's Capital.

With me, my next lord, my son, and a hundred soldiers in the territory led by my son in the king's capital, and calling both my daughters to the king's capital, I can't ignore the unrest of the people. "

Aura was so convinced by the explanation of Uncle Ghazir's border.

How much "the case is solved. No more problems," he said, "but the soldiers who were supposed to have gone to solve the problem themselves did not return, and the next neighborhood uncle, who was leading the soldiers, also remained on his way to Wang Du.

So, if there's anything more like Lucinda and Nilda heading to the King's Capital, there's a good chance there 'll be bad rumors in the realm.

Worst of all, it is not strange that those who say, "The Ba 'ath family on the border of Ghazir have deserted this territory and fled" should leave.

Of course, it's not a realistic story. Indeed, the boundaries of Ghazir were temporarily undersalted and troubled by the blockade of salt streets. But that's only a temporary problem, and that can't be the kind of problem that the Lords' clan runs from abandoning their territory.

But in this case, the facts are completely irrelevant. At a time when "the difficulty was rising in the territory," the question is what the Lords think when the clan of Lords verbally says "the problem has been solved," while everyone sees the reality of "leaving the territory and heading to the King's Capital" with their own rationale as such.

"Sure, that's a matter of concern. For you and other local lords, territorial security is the most important issue. Is that your priority?"

For better or worse, local lords, self-government comes first. Extreme stories, whether his eldest daughter Lucinda spends her entire life single or her second daughter Nilda is not officially recognized as a nobleman by the kingdom, the Ghazir border uncle territory itself somehow turns. In contrast, it could be irrevocable in the unlikely event that the inhabitants genuinely think that "the clan of lords has deserted us and fled" and so on.

"So the ascent of Miss Lucinda and Miss Nilda to the King's Capital means the beginning of the year? So you're taking Lord Chavier's place."

To the queen who confirms, the great aristocrats of old and old agree.

"Yes. Chavier is still a young man, but it's a trace of our home by the bend. If he returns to his territory with the soldiers who have dedicated themselves to the extermination of the dragons, he may summon his two daughters to the king's capital, but the agitation of the people will be contained."

"Hmm. Then we'll have to decide on the reward for this group dragon crusade by the end of the year."

That's what the Queen says and narrows those red-brown eyes slightly in a meaningful way.

"Ha, when I can wear it that way, I'm fortunate. Regardless, I only follow His Majesty's decision in this matter."

The elderly grand aristocrat answered that honestly only, bowing his head.

"Hmm..."

Aura often thinks.

Originally, under the original arrangement, the compensation for the 'group dragon crusade' was conditional on passing it directly to Chavier.

Making Chavier stay in the King's Capital for a long time for that reason and slowly dyeing the young next peripheral uncle into the colors of the King's Capital will increase his influence on the Royal Region.

That was Aura's thought, but there's only a little over a month left this year. In just one month, it's hard to make a big impact.

(Using the original promise as a shield, I do not approve of Chavier's return. Alternatively, if you want Chavier to return early, you can drink a reduction in compensation, but you can't negotiate…)

It was Aura who thought of such an immediate thing for a moment, but immediately discards the idea.

One case in this case includes "Partial loss of the roster", a royal lapse, and "Summoning Lucinda Ghazir at the request of Yoshijiro", a royal convenience.

If you stick to the original arrangement and don't seem to approve the rescheduling of the other convenience, you will buy disapproval, even though there are parts of this inconvenience or the unanticipated movement that is forcing the Gazir Border House at this convenience.

Of course, Aura, the queen, doesn't care about that disapproval, and some powers are just enough to push it through, but even with power so easily activated, it could increase the potential enemies of the royal family.

Having quickly turned the calculation in her head, Aura sighs once deliberately.

"If that's the case, we don't have a choice. Let's get some time to decide on the compensation during the year and give Sir Chavier and the soldiers under his banner permission to return home."

"Ha, thank you"

To the Lord's Word, the old aristocrats fear and bow their heads.

"But we're going to roll up our original plans. First of all, give an estimate of the cost of this expedition. The funds actually consumed, food, as well as allowances for survivors, may be included in the number. However, in the unlikely event that that figure seems to exceed this assumption too greatly, the Gazir Borderline House will not be allowed to say anything about the amount of compensation in the future.

I'm discretionary, I decide "

In a tough tone, the queen declared so.

If you sum up what you're saying briefly, you're stabbing the nail, "Don't waste too much time in the details, because you're going to give up your hopes and make compensation decisions."

Having understood the Queen's sincerity, the Ghazir Borderline Uncle bows his head once and for all now.

"Ha, I understand. We will leave the final decision to His Majesty."

"Uhm, I can't do it like bad"

As expected, the queen nodded with a slight loosening of her expression to Uncle Ghazir Borderline, who would return an honest answer.

Uncle Ghazir is a man who, by the standards of the great aristocracy, prefers to speak truthfully. For this reason, if this one makes sense, it is easy to talk through, so it is a stressful opponent, whether as Aura or in a relatively conversation.

However, that leaves me a little doubtful about today's proposal by Uncle Ghazir Borderline.

Regardless of the battlefield, Aura, who feels like a rare turning of her mind, honestly bumps that question into the Gazir Border Uncle, who often takes a "spotty" response in everyday affairs.

"I see what's going on. But I don't know what to say, but that seems like a rare spin, Uncle Ghazir Borderline. I honestly didn't think you'd be able to take such good care of yourself."

To the Queen's slightly rude compliment, the old samurai scratches his head as illuminated, without a breeze that makes him uncomfortable.

"No, if I confess, it's not what I realized myself. Having heard a series of stories from Chavier, I immediately flew the Little Fei Dragon and ordered my two daughters to go up to the King's Capital, but Lucinda, the eldest daughter who received it, flew the Little Fei Dragon back, and there is a 'concern' like I said earlier, can we really get ourselves up to the King's Capital? Depends on what you've confirmed."

"... ho"

The Queen speaks out in a way that impresses me in response to Uncle Ghazir's Borderline reply.

I had heard stories that it was not Chabiel, the next borderline uncle, but his eldest daughter Lucinda, who was cutting up the status quo, territory, where the Ghazir borderline uncle works for the King's capital, but apparently Lucinda has earned the trust of his father, the Ghazir borderline uncle, more than he had heard in rumors.

"Miss Lucinda seems more talented than a rumor."

"Thank you. It's not enough to compliment His Majesty, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm honestly well helped."

To the queen's words, Uncle Ghazir frontier, while humbled, delightfully narrowed his eyes and breasted.

Next, Gazelle Borderline Uncle makes a recommendation.

"Currently, my daughters in the Territory will be jerking off without knowing the details. To be very detailed, you can't even fly with a small flying dragon. So, with a letter to my belly describing the circumstances in detail, I would like to ask you to 'fly' to the territorial capital with the help of His Majesty?

'Fly' with the power of Aura. That, needless to say, is a request for 'instant travel'.

The queen leans her neck small to Uncle Ghazir's request.

"Hmm. I don't mind that, but even though I'm involved in this one, that's only going to be seen as an official request to the royal family by Uncle Ghazir Borders, right?

Aura deliberately refused to do so, because she was clearly treated differently when using "instant travel" for royal convenience and when using it for aristocratic convenience.

In cases where "instantaneous travel" is used for the convenience of a nobleman, an arrangement is made to collect a small price from that nobleman for the royal family. It is now a state of emergency that only Queen Aura has a user in the kingdom. Rates are increased.

Naturally, I am aware of these circumstances.

"Ha, I understand. Your Gratitude for His Majesty's help is meant to take shape."

Yes, I answered honestly and bowed my head deeply.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

When Queen Aura was face-to-face with the border uncle of Ghazir, Yoshijiro was fishing for the 'roster' in question in a library located at the deepest end of the royal palace.

On thick stone walls, the lighting windows are also extremely small, and countless books are displayed on wooden shelves where only practicality is contemplated.

The room, which is close to dark by midday, seems to be a book-friendly environment in that direct sunlight does not enter and the room temperature is relatively low, but the humidity seems higher than in the other rooms of the Royal Palace when it is poorly done.

I thought it might be difficult for the paper to suck water in this, but on second thought, there is no vegetable paper in the Karpua kingdom. A paper is a "dragon-skinned paper" made by smoothing the skin of a dragon species. Compared to vegetable paper, maybe you don't have to pay that much attention to humidity.

"But it's interesting to see the book evolving just looking out there."

Looking at the dark bookshelves, Yoshijiro squeaks so unexpectedly.

It is a roster that covers the historical nobility of the kingdom of Karpua. Those many complaints contain a little exaggeration, but still hundreds of years are a substitute for the oldest books. Things that are in the form of books spelled out with strings like modern times are only a few in their entirety, and those that are scrolled or described on cotton cloth rather than dragon-skinned paper in the first place. In addition, some have holes in thinly shredded wooden boards and spelled with rope strings.

"In the meantime, can we get this done?"

So murmured Yoshijiro, when he takes the two newest rosters, heads to the chair and desk provided in the corner of the library.

In this dim library, if you want to look through the books, you need a light. But needless to say, lighting fire in the study is a dangerous act.

For this reason, it is strictly forbidden to bring in fire except candlesticks provided for this desk.

In a thick stone library, you look through dragon-skinned paper written by the Historic King, relying solely on the light of the candle. Even that infirmity boosts the mood of being "in touch with tremendous confidentiality".

But naturally, in the case of Sanjiro, there is no reason to sweeten the deprivation as it is.

"Okay, that's more or less like it"

When Yoshijiro spreads his latest "roster" on a small work desk, he illuminates it with a hand-turned LED flashlight that he brings from directly above, standing.

Then, after confirming that the entire solid open page is readable without any problems in a bright white light, Yoshijiro shoots the entire page of the Roster with a digital camera that was in opposite hands to the flashlight.

"I think this is going to be ok...... ok, ok, ok. I can read this without a problem."

Yoshijiro called the still image he had just taken to the display on the back of the digital camera to make sure that the page image on the "Roster" was shot to the point where the letters could be read.

"Let's keep shooting at this rate"

Turning the 'roster' on the desk, Yoshijiro illuminates it with a flashlight from directly above and photographs the page with a digital camera, as he did earlier.

Turn the page, shoot. Turn the page, shoot. Turn the page, shoot......

"Oh, it's a pain in the ass. If we could bring the" roster "to the rear palace, we wouldn't have to go through all this trouble, but if we could just take it in with a scanner, that would be it!

Such stupidity leaks from the mouth of Yoshijiro, who is disgusted by the simple task, but this method of photographing pages by digital cameras is an efficient way of copying it to peel his eyes off the more he sees it by this world standard.

In this world, if you want to take a reproduction of a book, the only way to do it is to look at it with your eyes and write it by hand.

Compared to that, shooting on a digital camera is dastardly fast, copying an opening page in seconds to more than a dozen seconds of something.

Even as his mouth leaks stupidity, Yoshijiro finishes filming two recent books on the roster, as originally planned.

With Yoshijiro's shooting technique, there are some pages that are a little hard to read, but the pages you can't really read can be re-shot later.

"Okay, we can put this in the PC later, look at the contents, and start over with the spreadsheet software,"

That's what Yoshijiro was trying to do now.

The case of the loss of the 'roster', discovered in one of this' Nilda Ghazir ', is due to be officially announced by Aura shortly.

By then, I want to create a digital data version of the "Roster", just for the nobles who are currently alive, and create a posture that allows for a quick response.

It's a pretty indefensible story if you're on Earth, such as capturing sensitive important documents like "The Roster" onto computers that aren't even protective, but in this world, there's only one computer, Sachiro, and there's only one that can handle it at the moment. In the sense of confidentiality, it is rather preserved than left in writing.

"It's hard to follow dragon-skinned paper with your eyes to check the paperwork. If you put it in the spreadsheet software, you'll be able to get to the information you want right away with the name search.

As a precaution when something like this happens, when adding it to the "roster" in the future, it might be better to also pre-capture the "refrain" you give to the other nobleman with a scanner.

Oh, but if you keep increasing the amount of data like that, you won't be able to fit just a PC hard drive in the boulder. Oh, should I have bought about one of the external hardware? No, but even the PC has a life expectancy in the first place, so whatever the current situation is, is it more dangerous to think about the assumption that there will be a PC in the future? "

Shinjiro, whining about bumps and solitaires and returning the "roster" to its original position, followed the library with a flashlight illuminating his dark underfoot.
