"... Wait, wait! What are you doing ...?"

After a moment's delay in the response, the marquis shouted like a hurry.

"The Majesty says he will have an audience, talk about the matter ..."

Is the reason, why? Isn't the royal court coming to this side as well as Rephilia?

But why about such a high-pressure attitude? What was the reason you tried to drive the mount so I couldn't refuse what you would normally tell?

It looks like something is wrong ...

If so, one reply!

"I refuse!"

"……e?"

Stop, turn around, and answer, and the Marquis is gazing.

Well, don't you usually get refused immediately?

"Because I'm not the king's vassals here, you don't have to listen to orders anyway if you ask.

In addition, if I meet the king of another nation in 'Current Status' and make various requests and orders to 'I in my current position', I will be in trouble… ”

"Ah……"

The Marquis seems to have something to come up with in my words.

Yeah, I've always put a lot of hints at the end of the words so that I think so.

Yes, right now I'm just claiming the status of a lower aristocrat, and that's not a lie because I'm properly crowned, but in fact, I have another status, that is, my status and position as a member of the royal family There was a subtle wording like "I can't accept it".

Therefore, the king here was told, "I can't just accept a one-sided request, a command with a high-pressure attitude, a push, etc., just like for a lower nobleman, and the royals of other countries cannot accept it as high-high. So you can't have an audience with the King with your current identity. '

And I have not lied to anything. To be honest and misunderstand it is selfish and responsible.

“…………”

And the Marquis is so utterly correct that my words do not seem to come back in my explanation.

Okay, here it's Todome!

"If I can't do that, I'd like to take care of another reasoned faction or move my trading base to another country."

"Now!"

The Marquis, who has already turned pale, is no longer pale.

: Yeah, it would be important if you hit me badly and get me out of the faction or cause it to move to another country.

"Now this is rude."

After telling the Marquis, I smiled at Michan, who looked silently with her crying face.

"Well, Micchan!"

Yeah, this is my intent that even if you make a mistake with the Marquis, you're still a friend with Micchan.

Because she was the daughter of the Marquis, I didn't make friends with Micchan.

Reverse, reverse!

It doesn't matter what the rank is. My friend was a proud tsundere, kind girl who kindly reached out to me, who was in trouble at the time when the material slipped. The Marquis was just saying, "I happened to be the father of my friend."

Yes, the Marquis is not my daughter's tsundere ... but, "I got to know me with my daughter's messenger (Tsute)", and not the other way around.

And the smart Micchan immediately understood my intention and smiled awkwardly. The right wrist is swung slightly around the waist. …… It ’s a so-called “good night”.

In the same way, I waved a small hand around my waist.

Yoshi, leave!

"Oh, oh, it's done! Oh, it's done, oh, oh!"

When Mitsuha was completely out of the mansion, Marquis Mitchell was screaming holding his head.

"Well, I guess I can't help it! I have never dealt with a girl from another country who is not going to be young!" And sometimes I may have spoken normally as a Marquis and a Viscount. There were times when the tone was sloppy, but it seemed that I used honorifics for the time being ...

Why did that suddenly harden that attitude …… ”

My daughter, Micheline, was not initially present when the Marquis and Mitsuha were talking. The Marquis wanted to take advantage of Mitsuha, so he did not want to show it to his daughter.

However, Michelinine, who had heard that Mitsuha had disappeared from society and a product store at all, heard that Mitsuha had visited and immediately came to the reception area, so he heard most of the story. Because it was a story of the heads of the noble family, they never clogged.

But now, my father who is still a “friend” has much more influence over Mitsuha than his father, who is being overlooked by Mitsuha. So, he slammed his father's words without hesitation.

"... Is that stupid, my dad ... You've decided to make him angry because he's doing something weird.

Mitsuha looks ah, and his head turns around. It is not likely that he has been dispatched to Date as an intelligence gatherer and senpai, which will influence the country's future policies.

Perhaps it was brought up as a “future sword as a practical item,” different from the sisters for political marriage, a side princess or a mistress's child.

However, not as a tool, but with plenty of affection.

Dad, have you ever talked to Mitsuha and didn't notice that much? "

Appalled.

Marquis Mitchell was stunned and stuck.

But that is not because of the consideration of Mitsuha, which was pointed out by her daughter.

"Is it stupid?" My dear daughter, Micheline ...

Until now, I respected myself as a marquis, and when I was in the mansion, I always followed myself. That cute Michelinine said, "Are you stupid?"

It was as if the world had collapsed.

And the best moment for her daughter is not herself as a family, but a “friend” who is another person.

That is, the moment when my daughter jumped out of “Cage Bird” to the world.

I want to see you.

It should have been a pity, but it was Marquis Mitchell who was sadly asexual and couldn't control the regrets that grew.

"... By the way, who was the girl who was with Mitsuha earlier?"

"Hate?"

Collet's official announcement to the Marquis Mitchell family was likely to be a while away ...

* *

"Mitsuha, the person just mentioned, wasn't he a guardian of Mitsuha in this country? Is that okay?"

I heard Colette anxiously, but I don't care.

"I don't have an agreement, I don't have any mercy ... On the contrary, I just gave up various delicious things just because I was my friend's father.

If you misunderstand it and get on with it, you can cut it off. ''

"What, he was that kind of opponent. He's in a completely different position from my lord ..."

e?

"Oh, I'm sorry, Count Boses!"

What.

The lord of Collet now is this me! I don't allow cheating!

Anyway, I just said to the Marquis, "If you can't do it, I'm going to take care of another reasoned faction or move your trading base to another country." It is.

"If you can't do it anymore," then it's just "I'm going to move it." No matter what I said right now, it's already out. I didn't say that. If you can rethink and stop the weird push, you can leave it as it is.

I don't want to get along with Micchan's dad if I like it.

… But noble and powerful merchants with a fairly strong and powerful faction already have some acquaintances. I have the choice.

And really, we are also considering activities in other neighboring countries.

Rather than export from this country to neighboring countries, establish bases in each country and build up a firm such as Rephilia trade in each country, and take over its substantial control. … Not by ownership or legal rights, but by seizing the absolute right of life killing: 'If you don't hear what you say, stop trading and sell to other firms.'

Yes, as in the case of the Lephilia trade, you have no legal or financial liability, and you can do everything you want at any time with all assets.

In the event of an emergency, you can enjoy all-you-can-see with other companies.

Yeah, this is it, this!

Aim, shadow economic state, evil great empire!

Your organization name, “Foundation”!

Neclimb, Gorgom, Great Obstruction Kingdom, Hyakki Empire, Shocker, Panther Claw, Black Team.

Umuumu, dreams are expanding.
