I went through the story with the Marquis, brilliantly passing through Pimi-chan.

No, this is "the job of a nobleman." That's why I wasn't angry at Michichan, who was killed. It's a place for business talks between my father and other nobles. It's not a good time for the family to get out of the way and get in the way.

And Micchan is a well-educated senior noble daughter and a smart child.

"... I'm also interested in ships in this country.

How much cargo, how many days, and how much can you carry in trade? What is the probability of losing a ship, cargo, or personnel due to a pirate or marine accident? And ... "

"And?"

"How much can we count on in a crisis in Japan?"

Because it's all about digging and digging about the military of other countries and the performance of the ship, this is the result of thinking about how to listen without being suspicious.

The Marquis seems to be thinking a bit.

"Um, it's a difficult question ...

Depending on the merchant, there are various places where you have a ship, ask a shipping company, and so on. And there's a ship and the crew's arms. Even accidents and pirate damage can vary widely, depending on the route taken, the ship used, the size of the fleet, the weather, and the season. It's not something that can be simply quantified or expressed in one word. ''

Pia, I see ... Of course.

"And I guess I can't just say it lightly, such as between countries. It's about what kind of treaty we can conclude, and how far we can extend the contents of the treaty to help us out. Yes, it depends on each other's relationship, domestic situation and international situation at that time. ''

Yeah, convinced!

Let's stop here to hear about the ship's performance. It would suffice to examine the captured ships and ask former POWs, who are now citizens of our country. I don't think any new ship will have such a sharp improvement in performance as long as it is a sailing ship. Unless there is a lot of breakthrough.

And I have heard about the state-of-the-art ship from Umbrella-kun to some extent, and it will not be so difficult to meet again. A sailor or a cadet candidate, to a lesser degree, but probably well aware of the ship's capabilities. After all, it is the "lower end" that actually measures the speed of water and operates the sails by tying a rope to a piece of wood.

It would be useless to ask any more about the ship here. The Marquis may not be a ship expert and cannot ask about the country's foreign policy, that is, if he finds a new continent, he intends to invade. That's why you need more people to listen to and more time to listen.

Let's talk about tea in a small talk.

"So, how much would it take to ship trade goods from the Viscount of Yamano to a ship in Viscount?"

Poop! I have a question to limit my country!

If you answer this, you will know the distance to our country and the candidates will be narrowed down to several countries. Moreover, if you answer the question of our ship, you can tell that it is a country facing the sea.

So, of course, the answer is ...

"It's not something you can simply digitize or describe in a word."

The words of the Marquis were returned as it was in the circle.

"……Really"

"……right"

"" Ahahahaha! "

"Please don't talk about them alone!"

There is Micchan swelling. I have to take good mood!

Pimi-chan is the first and currently only friend in the country.

… Is that the child of the Earl of the birthday party who gave the necklace?

That was a birthday celebration gift that served both as a thank you to the Earl's family for the first time in social circles and as a face of the bank's president who introduced me. Of course, the main purpose is PR, saying that I'm an "unfamiliar girl who can benefit from convenience."

In other words, I just played a role in the performance of the piece “The Daughter of the Earl Family Who Invited me for the First Time” for my performance. It is different from Collet and Sabine who helped save their lives.

There's a possibility that you can be a real friend in the future, but that's "the potential of the future", not the present.

In addition, I was a little angry that the Earl was involved in Micchan and forcibly tried to make his friend a best friend.

Once you do that, and I accept it, you'll get a similar push. I thought I was weak in pushing. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly show that anyone who ignores my intentions and pushes or hoaxes will not be targeted. Although bad for that second daughter.

That's why, at the moment, my only friend in this country is Micchan.

Pimi-chan called me to me. Even so, he offered me a helping hand to me, who was tempered, until I got out of the box, and I probably didn't like it. Don't even think about getting a ruby.

Pia alone, a proud noble girl with no strange glare in her eyes.

Then, Micchan and the Marquis and his wife, plus three more sons, began a small talk.

: Of course, it's a small talk that actively talks about the information I want.

But it is the same beyond. A trap to confine my country, implicitly mixed into the topic. Talk about my status, position and family. A conversation that is unconsciously guided to speak a native language word.

... I'm tired! !

* *

After a while, withdrawal.

No, not quite so much, was the time of visiting already insane ...

Anyway, I heard that there were some problems to ask strangers at the party venue, so I was able to collect a lot of information.

I heard the good information because the Marquis judged me to be my friend, at least in this country. I have no acquaintance with other nobles in this country yet, and I have no reason to go to the Marquis's enemy, and I have no partner in the first place. Good friends with Micchan.

……It's good?

Well, the Marquis himself, because of his rank and influence on the political and financial circles, has identified himself as a person worthy of relying on and rubbing. Yes! I had no doubt about the situation.

…… If you are confident in yourself, it ’s different! If I was a rubbing person, I was worried about what my heart was and I was cautious. It's a legend that can be handed down to future generations!

Well, I'm allies only for domestic affairs. Of course, when it comes to international issues, it's natural to think it works for your home country, but in the first place, this country, the kingdom of Vanell, is a great power. A small country that has not yet decently traded with this country cannot take hostile action for no reason. It's normal to think of diplomacy, trade, and somehow a friendly nation.

And as a preparation for that, Mitsuha, a princess with a beautiful concubine sent to gather information and make connections.

I think you're thinking, maybe. …… Don't rush into the place of “beautiful”!

So, rather than pursue too much, and I'm going to keep a distance, I guess she's loosely concerned, taking care to keep me from hostile factions.

No, it's all my speculation.

In , I heard during the story that the Marquis seemed to be good at the Army.

Sorry! If you were a navy, it would be very useful ... no, not really?

Is it easier for an Army faction in the wrong field to contact any Navy faction than one of the Navy factions? And even if you tell the navy about misguided things, if you say "a little girl who is an official of the land faction, you can laugh and get through and listen to various things with an interest But could you tell me without warning?

Okay, this is this, maybe not bad.

"Let's make the carriage go around."

"Oh, I've walked, so I don't leave the carriage. I'll walk home ..."

"" "" "" Are you able to walk alone on the road alone? "" "" "

I was yelled at you.

The Pami-chan family has a high sync rate.
