Survival in Another World With My Master

Episode 243 - The Purpose of Diplomatic Missions

"Well, Lord Kirilovich was certainly traveling a long way for friendship and goodwill with the kingdom of Merinard."

"Yes, that's right."

We decided to continue talking with Kirilovich in the reception room where Mr. Harpi and the others took Cubi. Kirilovich looks very pale, but I'm sure it's his fault.

"When it comes to the work of the Vallag Empire against us, let's go to the water in the first place. Does that mean we won't mention it to each other anymore?

"Hahaha... well, I'd like you to give it back for now. Because I'm the person who kept it."

"I understand that. I won't kill you, and I promise I'll pay you back eventually."

"Please keep that in mind as it should not be used anymore."

"I understand. So, the purpose of coming to the country was goodwill and friendship, but can you tell me exactly what you think? Between the Kingdom of Merinard and the Vallag Empire lies the vast territory of the Holy King, as well as the Amagara Plain, which is a disputed land between the Holy King and the Vallag Empire. Avoid them, and it would take about six months on a one-way trip."

I think it's enough to be Sylvie's word. Instead of a large passenger plane that can fly long distances with a large amount of luggage in one day, it is a world without even a truck that travels overland. Trading in this world is either a carriage or a ship. However, there is no sea in the Kingdom of Merinard. In other words, the means of dealing are limited to walking and carriages. It is difficult for countries at such a distance to trade directly with each other, and it will take six months for the exchange of information to arrive. I don't really think it's easy to make friendships.

Of course, this is not the case as long as Grande's flying capability and transportation airboards become widespread, but for now, we do not intend to have Grande work to interact with the Vallag Empire, nor can we afford to turn over the airboards to you, nor do we intend to provide technology.

"In the meantime, I was wondering if you could put a diplomat here in Merynesburg."

"Ah, diplomats. What does that diplomat do in Merynesburg?

"It's basically about collecting and analyzing information, and communicating it to your country. It will also be useful to convey the information you receive from your home country."

"Doesn't that mean you're a grand detective?

"Haha, some people do call diplomats honorary spies. But, of course, there are benefits to you, too. Our eyes and ears are very good."

"... I see."

Which means that it is possible to pass on information on the Holy King's kingdom to us via diplomats, obtained by agents of the Vallag Empire.

The Merinard kingdom has a good reputation for gathering information on the front lines, but we have no way to gather information on political and economic developments in the Holy King's own country. The Liberation Army, which was the core of the kingdom of Merinard, was largely subordinate to sending in the scouts. I think there will be more human personnel, but I don't know how many years from now, and it will take more time to get reliable and important information.

"Hmm... what do you think?

"Me? I'm hardly in this situation, and I don't think I'd like to say anything."

"Let me be frank with you."

"Hmm...."

I think it is subtle from the point of view of whether the eyes and ears of the Vallag Empire are actually needed. That information will give us a huge advantage in knowing the Holy King's movements, but at least for now we have the power to destroy them quickly if an enemy appears on the front lines.

However, it is useful to maintain a line with the Vallag Empire from a political and economic point of view. The opponent is a power that divides the Holy King's kingdom and power on this continent. Naturally, international and political influence is great. The presence of diplomats from that great power means that the nascent kingdom of Merinard has enough power to determine that the Vallag Empire needs to have diplomats.

This will be a factor that will be seen at a glance by people from other countries who have visited Merinesburg. That means that the rebirth of the Liberation Army and its leader, Sylvie, must be a great help to the nascent kingdom of Merinard, which is internationally recognized as a legitimate nation.

"I think... That's why we should think positively about the diplomat's stay."

"I see. How's Merty?

"Mr. Koske told me about it. In addition, I think it is necessary to show the Vallag Empire the power of us or Mr. Koske."

"I think it's dangerous. There is a danger of provoking a raid and assassination of the Vallag Empire."

Lord Leonard argues with caution about Merti's opinion. There is certainly a danger.

"You should take good care of the perimeter guard. I was wondering if I, Mr. Grande and Mr. Zamir should always be there for me. Anyway, I think the assassination is quite difficult to extract."

"You have a track record?

"If you don't do what Mr. Koske says, you'll be fine."

"Reflecting."

If I hadn't imitated all the weapons and materiel that Cubi had taken before, I'd have done nothing. As a matter of fact, I think I could have escaped as many brick blocks, stone blocks, tools, and weapons as I wanted.

"Well, that kind of talk is obvious in front of me as a diplomatic envoy....."

"What?"

"Nothing. Yes."

You and this fucking fox did this? Kirilovich raised his hands and surrendered completely after the three women killed him. Merciless.

"That's what Koske says too, and I'll be looking forward to accepting diplomats. Even here, we can't do it right away, so please wait a few days for a reply. We will arrange accommodation and meals in the meantime, so you can relax in the castle and heal your travel fatigue until then."

"Yes, thank you for your kindness"

Missions from the Vallag Empire, led by Kirilovich, then decided to stay in the Mansion close to the imperial castle. The mansion was inhabited by nobles of the Holy King who fled at night just before the Liberation Army invaded Merynesburg and was taken over by the Liberation Army after it occupied Merynesburg. The Mansion will remain an embassy until dawn, when the Diplomats of the Vallag Empire will be accepted.

Incidentally, the grounds of the Mansion are completely visible from the imperial castle. In other words, it is a place where you can set up artillery in the royal castle and fire as much as you want. A samurai may be able to shoot with a small gun. Well, that doesn't matter now. It's not important.

"It's delicious, Mr. Koske. Next, let me eat your food."

"Er...."

Serafita called me back for dinner after a long time and decided to have a junk food party with the food I had served from the inventory... but Serafita was sticking to me. What's the matter? It's so obvious that it's very sweet. What the hell is that? What the hell am I supposed to do with this?

You must have missed me.

Grande looks at us and puts a hamburger on his cheek. Thank you for your calm opinion. But just because I missed you, how about this? Or is it strange that I did that?

"Mother....."

"Unhygienic"

"Mother...?

"Mother...."

The four sisters of the princess Elf, including Sylvie, hear a shocking noise and a dazzling blur. Some of them scolded me a little, but I'll let you know.

"Mr. Koske...."

"Driftstone"

I don't know about Merti's cramped smile, but I don't know about Isla's boulders. What kind of thing is that?

"Well, I think it tastes a lot like this."

When I told Serafita, who was just right on me and sweet, she wept in her eyes.

"Don't you like it?

and so on.

"I don't dislike it."

Good for you.

Serafita draws tears and brightens her smile. Ha, you should curse at my weakness as much as you can. But this won't work. I think the man I can throw at is so cold-blooded or something.

"What the hell is this...?

"We'd rather hear about it."

"You're not using any suspicious medicine, are you?

"I swear to God, I didn't do that."

I wonder if this really needs counseling. No matter how much my Achievement is working, this is unusual. I'm not familiar with Serafita, but I don't think she would behave like this without taking into account the eyes of others. Otherwise, I think there might be external factors.

Isla?

"From a magical point of view, I don't see any anomalies. I can't feel the magic in the ornaments I wear. Normal"

"No way... Doriada?

"Yes, what is it?

Doriada, who had an envious look on her face, smiled as she mended her face. No, why would you be jealous?

"Do you have any idea what the ecological meaning of an elf is? Look, it's like it's in a beast."

"Are you in an estrus?

"I blurred the corners!

"Hmm, I've never heard of Elves having an estrus...."

"I don't remember hearing that from the elders of the Black Forest."

Doriada and Sylphi will deny my guess. So, what else...?

"Lime"

"What?

Nyung, lime appears from somewhere. You don't have to feel like you're not coming out until they call you, do you?

"Have you and Serafita been in contact lately?

Hmm? What do you think?

"Beth"

"I don't know. But lately, Poison seemed to be having fun."

Poison?

Poison didn't come out even though he called.

The culprit seems to have been decided.

"Bring me Lime, Beth, and Poison. Sometimes I'm a little serious."

"Okay. But don't you care about the limes later?

Leave it to me.

The next day, Poison, captured by Lime and Beth, confessed that she had prescribed "honest medicine" in consultation with Serafita. It should be noted that detoxification - because the effect of the medicine was faster than making a neutralizing agent, it was conveniently decided to stick to Serafita, who felt a little younger mentally for about three days.

After the effect expired, Serafita returned to her senses and stayed in her room for about a week.
