Souen no historia

"I see you for the first time. My name is Yoyo Yatsuji Crotaire and I am from [Moriat]. This man is Balmung, the butler who serves his father."

Yoyo introduced himself and Balmunk in front of Glows.

"Speaking of [Moriat] 's crowtail, is it the informant's...?

"Exactly. Please find out more about it later."

Yoyo and Balmunk bow their heads carefully so as not to be rude.

"Don't be afraid. Even if I look like this, I am of civilian origin. It would be helpful if you could treat me a little more casually without worrying about it."

"That being said, I know it's difficult to be very friendly given the results you've achieved."

Grouse shook his head like he was afraid to pull Yoyo's string.

"At that age, Crotaire was right about not showing any shaking, and now he's calming down."

"I'm still a young man, but I'm just remembering the shameful behavior in Crowtail's name."

"I really want someone to apprentice me."

"Hmm? Hey, Jumbo, I don't think that's a good idea, but what's the rest of it?

"... I've only mentioned someone."

I think it's all about Norwegian, but Norwegian stares at the jungle with a sharp mouth.

"Enough! That's why I'm entrusting Yoyo here with the bargaining role, Lord Grouse."

"I see. That's an interesting choice."

Isn't that right? After investigating Yoyo, the rest of the antenna was pinned. "

"... may I suggest one thing?

Grouse raised his hand slightly, so he gathered everyone's attention.

"What is it?

"You're going to negotiate with [Topajo Country], right?

Well...

"I really want to give it to you."

"... why not?

Norwegian eyes are slightly sharp. Glows, who will be aware of it, opens his mouth indifferently while fully parsing.

"The work of Yoyo recommended by King Nowem. I just wanted to see it with my own eyes. I don't have a problem with that.

"Hmm... how about yoyo?

"I don't mind. It's not that special, so I think it's boring, but if you don't mind."

"Hmm, then that's good. I leave the negotiation to Yoyo. But no matter how much the emperor used it, I won't forgive you if you interrupt Yoyo.

Her narrower eyes eject Glows. Grouse loosens her cheeks and looks at her without showing any shaking.

"Of course. This is one end to protect the Emperor. Interfering with it is an act against the Emperor. If I do something like that, please don't hesitate to throw it away."

I feel the weight of readiness in the words from Grouse. Norwegian and Glows stared at each other for a while, and the Norwegian unexpectedly shrugged his shoulders.

"... Phew ~ I knew the Lord wasn't real."

"It's an honor."

"And to tell you the other thing, even if you're going to beat your lord, you're confident you won't be beaten?

"No, I am proud not to be easily discussed based on the experience I have cultivated so far, but there must be unimaginable strong people in the world. Sometimes I get beaten up for someone like that."

Chilari and Glows stare at Balmunk, but Balmunk just quietly stops by Yoyo with his eyes closed.

"Well. At least like you, the Five Ministries have the same strength."

That's what I'm talking about.

The emperor's nearest "five ministers" is the position where those who are recognized for their strength are given. One of them, Barrows, the "Sword of the Emperor", is said to be the strongest in pure combat.

However, it seems that the other Five Secretaries have something as good as Barrows. It is called the five supermen who hold the most trust of the Emperor.

"Anyway, let Yoyo take care of the rest. Let me know if you need anything."

"Well, one thing. I would like to ask King Norwegian to accompany us in this negotiation."

"Well, that's why the rest of us have to go?

"Yes, I told Mr Jumbo, but we should show sincerity to get the truth out of him. The opponent is the King of One Country. Then the King should carry his legs too. We must not create advantages or disadvantages in negotiations. No, don't let them feel it, even if you made it. Therefore, in order to create a level playing field, King Norwegian must deal directly with the other party."

"Sure, I'm not just sending my men to hear back. I can't help but feel that I don't feel sincere from the other side..."

Norwem also nodded convincingly with her hands on her chin as she understood it.

"To succeed in the negotiations, you must first take a reciprocal position. And it's about making them think that it's more profitable to negotiate. Surround the same table first. I haven't even been able to do that before. That's why we have to start by creating that stage this time."

The surrounding people were stunned by Yoyo's polite appearance and neat words.

Grouse looked at Joyo, who laid his voice before the king of a kingdom, and watched.

(This girl... can't compare to the king of a kingdom with just the air she wraps around.)

From the aura of Yoyo, I feel an unusual temper. It is a different sense of intimidation than samurai, and it is called hegemony.

It's the very qualities that were born with. A gift you can't get even if you train. Kings who don't even have Glows are releasing their dominance.

(I'm surprised a single aristocrat has so much power.)

Moreover, the experience she has developed as an informant has produced strong persuasion for her remarks. Her words were so correct that they could not be disputed. Certainly don't make the other party uncomfortable for the negotiations to succeed.

It seems that the King of Norway has been entrusting his subordinates with negotiation until now, but if the other party shows good faith, the King himself will come.

Yoyo was right, until now the stage had not even been set.

(Well, I don't suppose I've ever sent King Norwegian to the scene, judging that the King cannot be moved so easily as a country... but this is certainly the third negotiation in this situation. If you do anything worse, you are more likely to be completely rejected by the other party)

If that happens, even if the king leaves, there will be no room for negotiation, and it will not be possible to set the stage again. In other words, this could essentially be our last chance.

(Is that why she convinced him that she was probably close to him first...)

Move your gaze from Yoyo to Jumbo. There is no doubt that he is by his side as a staff officer. But I guess I'm a little short of strength when I think about my skills so far.

Yoyo attacked him first. King Norwegian is unlikely to disagree because of his character. But the people around me are different. Jumbo will be reluctant especially to worry about the king.

But Yoyo explained to convince Jumbo how important this negotiation would be.

(I see. Looks like a good negotiator.)

If Yoyo should fail, Grouse was considering whether to shake his neck vertically or forcefully, but I don't think it's necessary.

Then he turned his gaze to Balmunk, who was standing close to her.

(I tried to provoke you a little earlier, but it's like you're going through silence... but you're not alone.)

From the moment I saw it, I could tell that Balmunk was the same samurai as me. And the power is incredibly strong. I couldn't believe that so many people were willing to act as butlers.

And Jojo's vessel, which kept him by his side, was shown.

(I don't know, it's going to be a pleasant trip)
