We arrived at the home where the rabbit's family lived.
Long after we arrived, Anne was in a good mood.
How much are you in the mood for, enough to get a nose song?
Of course he hasn't noticed himself.
I guess I'm glad you're back safe. I think it's too floating for that.
No, Mr. Ann was imprisoned. I'm so happy to mumble my nose without knowing it at home.
"You look happy"
"Yes, you can stay with Leon. I can't be happier."
Is that it? Is he released from custody or something?
This is the second time I have entered the home of a family, but the family of a rabbit seems more lively.
Ann entered through a separate door with her family's ring, and I was finally allowed to use you too.
Although the entry and exit are checked, they take a record of each and every one, and they're not matching it.
I guess I simply can't do it because of the large number of people.
"It's a nice atmosphere town."
People's faces are bright.
"Yes, it's third in sequence, so a lot of people get together."
Being a sub-city and close to the western capital of the merchant country, they gather supplies.
Compared to the king capital of the dragon kingdom, the township is spreading no less pale.
"The size is no match for the dragon kingdom, but we're not going to lose it in terms of development."
Ann says with her chest up, so it was a little crazy.
"I was just thinking the same thing. You can't beat Dragon Nation, I think it's a good town."
"Thank you"
While walking down the street, Ann explained a lot about the store.
It's also something that goes in slightly and narrowly, so I've been familiar with it as long as I've lived here.
"I finally saw it. That'll be the front gate."
Ann seems to live in the main hall, so I can't reach it without knocking around some gates at the front gate.
"Really? Then that's it for me."
"Why not!?
She's so surprised, Ann has her eyes open all over her.
"I've decided to deliver Anne safely."
"Please come inside. It's a great opportunity to introduce you to your parents."
There's a reason I cut out a goodbye in front of the main entrance that leads to the main hall.
This is the Royal Gate if you are a dragon country.
Even with Anne, her identity is scrutinized.
Ann naturally knows I'm a dragon jockey. I can't hide this.
If you find out that such a peculiar person has accidentally met you in a moving-country or rescued you from where you were imprisoned, it will be a lot of trouble.
I'm not sure I can explain a huge accidental on-parade well.
Whatever you do here, Mr. Ann, I just have to ask you to come back alone.
"As for Ann's parents, I'll see you when I get a chance. I'm leaving the city to go to the merchant country."
"But... just one eye, can't you?
"Long holidays are past the other half. I'll show my parents my face, too. And now I'm in the position of a college student, so I'm concerned about a lot of things."
I persuaded Anne to try to pull it off and managed to break up.
It's not something I can't force myself to do, so this place is as expected.
"I'm not even ready for this one, so I still don't want to.... I'll see you in Wangdu."
"Right. Unfortunately, I can't help it."
I broke up with Anne, who looks sorry, and left the city.
The fact that I'm not even in the city is important.
That night.
I snuck into the main hall where the family of the rabbit lived.
Everywhere in the main hall of the moving-country, the defense is said to be unique.
I was able to enter the bedroom of the chief of the family without great difficulty because I had a lot of experience in the family.
The family chief's name is Dion Lagos.
Seventy and old, but still active, practically pulling the Lagos family.
Marcel Lagos, the eldest son, is Anne's father.
Ann has a brother named Maurice Lagos, who is two years older.
Around here, "Remember my family structure well, because this is the time," Ann told me everything along the journey.
Late at night, Chief Dion was still awake.
I'm lighting up and reading a book.
I explored my surroundings, but I'm not straining my weird demonic junction.
There's no sign of anyone else, so I guess I'm totally alone right now.
I appeared softly out of the darkness.
"... Hmm. Are you here?"
They said they showed up in the corner of the room, but they said that.
Are all the kingdom chiefs masters of martial arts?
I wonder how you know.
"He seemed to know I was coming."
"We have a messenger from Dragon Nation. When my granddaughter came home today, I thought there was some contact. This one's going to be a little troublesome, but you want to hear it?
"I don't know anything."
"The messenger has already left, and I was just about to ask someone for a message."
Is it called a messenger?
I'm not hostile, and I guess I should ask.
"Okay. I will tell Her Majesty when I return."
Chief Dion nodded contentedly at my words.
So for the first time I found out, the fleshy arm of Chief Dion has muscle buoyancy.
I don't care what you think. I don't think I'm just an old man. If this makes you a wandering old man, your surroundings will be tough.
The chief of the family closed the book that was open and turned to me.
"The kidnapping of my granddaughter, but a man named Leno Bowdeca betrayed me. This is communicated to the messenger of the Dragon Nation. At the same time, there's nothing wrong with you."
I think I heard the name of the traitor for the first time. Mr Dion's chief continued.
"About six months ago, I had an affair with Annelotta's brother, Maurice. The opponent is the fifth in sequence, the lady of the family of the goat (goat). We were talking about forming an alliance to connect marriages and boost technology together."
"Already in alliance with the Peacock clan, can we consider this a great alliance"
The one Her Majesty told me about.
"Uhm. If you rank first in sequence at the end, you take turns for the capital. Wealth and technology are quaternarily divided, but still much better than the status quo. I mean, we went to specifics."
"The presence of a traitor meant that there were forces that didn't make it good."
"There was opposition. But I don't think he's going to run under the family of Kamomo."
There was a civil dispute between the families of the rabbits, just like the families of the rabbits.
So Ann says she was kidnapped for political reasons... it's hard to be a member of her family.
"So what's the trouble? Did the alliance get up on the reef or something?
"No, that's not it. So far, I have been good friends with the family of the goat. … the trouble is that some of the traitors, including Leno, belong to the Technical Audit Department."
…………
What the hell is that?
"Don't you see? A technical audit department is simply a non-team auditor of new technologies being researched and developed. For example, even what the research team thought they could 'do,' if others saw it, might not be feasible or absurd. We can't let that stuff engage a lot of money and good people for years, can we?
"Is this some kind of research that's obviously futile"
"That's right. Some technicians have given up badly, even if it's not possible now, but some try to spend years and decades. Personal research would be fine. But you can't give priority to personal feelings for research that you do by giving them a family name. It is up to the Technical Audit Department to determine that. Those in it have betrayed us."
"I kind of get it. It's a technology leak."
"That's right. Due to the nature of its duties, the Technical Audit Department can view any research material. Unlimited. The knowledge of the treacherous flowed to his family."
I thought about it.
Technological competition to take place next year. I guess this is more important than I think.
Family marriages and alliances can be said to take place for this purpose.
The research needed for this competition has passed to other families.
That's all the protective equipment we have in place that might seem hypersensitive to espionage intrusion.
It must be important (oh and) for the technology under study to spill.
"That's a big deal."
"Do you understand? I'm just having a headache about how to fix this right now. Sooner or later, the technology leak must be announced. We can't have a competition in a year while we're hiding it."
"Once you announce it, your authority will drop at once."
The technicians are also studying it seriously because, originally, it is well managed and protected by the family.
There's no way I can easily say, "Your research results have been stolen, but keep up the good work".
"There it is. I'm wondering if there's anything that could turn the technology spill upside down. Like the engagement of my granddaughter and a dragon jockey."
Chief Dion laughed as he shrugged his lips back.
