Survival in Another World With My Master

"I'm here to play. Come on, entertain me."

"I want tea and sweets for now. It's sweet and delicious."

"Are you just free of boulders?"

Face to face, the imperial ambassador Kirilovich answered me and Grande with his face, saying that there was no manners or shit.

This is the embassy of the Vallag Empire just near the imperial castle in Merynesburg. When it came to the meeting between the Kingdom of Merinard and the Holy King, it was entirely outside the mosquito net, so the two of me and Grande decided to visit the Vallag Empire's embassy every time - and not just to play with it - but to honor it.

Well, Kirilovich is a good guy, so he's going to make sure we have tea and sweets. In fact, he's stronger than a good one.

"I wonder if it would be nice if we could just take our legs to the embassies of other countries and talk about the drinks and food that were served without warning."

"There will be no reason for the Empire to kill me. As long as you can kidnap them and make them work for you."

"In the first place, you can't kill Koske with a concubine next to you."

"And I guess I'm poison resistant. I survived being stabbed in the liver with a dagger poisoned with basilisk."

"Poison doesn't work for concubines."

"Hah... I think it would be nice to disclose that kind of information."

With that in mind, Kirilovich carried tea to his mouth with a bitter face. I don't know what that painful expression means right now, but either way, he's going to hurt us, or he's going to hurt me, no matter how well it goes.

Even if you kidnapped me with precious magic equipment that travels long distances like the one Cubby used when he grabbed me, it's almost impossible to capture me without killing me, who is equipped and equipped. Regardless of the blindfold, tie it with a rope, or handcuff it, I can bump all of it into the inventory, and if you release the restraint, you can bump it into the jail, or you can be trapped in the stone chamber, but it is easy to break the floor and escape. Without magic, the collar of a slave, of course, and the magic of the abnormal state system don't work.

Perhaps you could physically close your eyes and hold me completely alive without concrete from neck to neck?

"So, what happened today? You didn't just come for tea and sweets."

"If I say I just brought you tea and sweets, I'll say no because Kirilovich looks angry."

"Koske, this treat is delicious."

"Which one... oh, walnut flavor tastes good"

The prepared tea confectionery is a sweet with crushed walnuts in a thick fabric. You've eaten something before, this. It looks like a walnut cake.

"I'd like you to stop fooling around in front of me."

"This guy is rude. No, I'm sure you know about Kirilovich, but there's a messenger from the Holy King's Landing. The aim is to return the prisoners and negotiate a peace agreement. Because of various circumstances, I am outside the mosquito net this time, but I suddenly turned my palm back and asked for a discussion. I was wondering if you could give me the opinion of the Imperial Ambassador Vallag on what was going on."

"Hmm... I see."

Kirilovich was talking about me with his left hand covering his thin jaw and mouth on top of it and thinking about it for a while. He is like a man sent far east from the Vallag Empire to the Kingdom of Merinard. A person who is friendly and easy to associate with, but more than being entrusted with the ambassador of a great power - he is an elf - he has the ability to do so.

"We haven't received any information yet, but the battle against the Empire may be intensifying. And if it didn't suit you enough to keep the sword with the Kingdom of Merinard, would it?"

It doesn't suit me.

"That won't suit you. They destroy tens of thousands of units of normal combat power intact with only a few hundred oligarchs. No matter how big the country is, neither knights nor soldiers are infinite, and there are huge costs involved in its operation. It is not a good idea to dissolve it unilaterally without much damage to the opponent. And..."

Besides?

"If you realize that there are still hidden balls, it is too risky to deal with them properly. I wonder if they thought about losing money."

"You mean before you suffer any more damage? But Sylphie and the others have a grudge against the bone marrow. I don't think it's going to be easy to reconcile."

The resentment against the Holy King of the subordinates, who were robbed of their motherland and continued to be oppressed for twenty years, is profound. There is also the problem of the assets looted by the Holy King and the people taken as slaves. Especially when it comes to useful talent - that is, the elves taken to create the Wizard - it must be a difficult problem to solve. It's easy to imagine what kind of treatment they're being subjected to when they're taken away to 'increase production' of magical humans.

"Well, it must be difficult. In the meantime, would you like to return only the same number of people as the captive knights? And then we have to pay a fair amount of compensation, and then we have to concede to the Kingdom of Merinard for the next few years - maybe five or ten years - and make an economic bond, and at least avoid a two-frontal operation with the Empire."

"I think it's possible that we might choose a thorough fight."

"With all due respect, that won't be possible. Indeed, the Royal Merinard Army is extremely powerful and may be able to disperse the Holy King's Army. But even if we kick out the Holy King's army and cut off the territory of the Holy King, it will be difficult for the Kingdom of Merinard to maintain that territory."

"Well... yes."

The present kingdom of Merinard does not have enough people to entrust such a territory, and even if the territory of the Holy King is cut off and turned into a new territory of the kingdom of Merinard, the inhabitants of that territory are pious Adolese believers who have exclusive thoughts about subhumans. I do not believe that it will obey the rule of the subordinates in the former country.

"Isn't Her Majesty Queen Sylvie the one who invades only to kill enemy soldiers and enemy subjects, or to plunder the Holy King?"

"That's for sure."

That's right.

Grande, who has been listening to me in silence, agrees with me. No matter how much the Holy Kings hate them, Sylvie will not send his troops just to kill, plunder, or suffer.

"If that's the case, it's fine. As long as the kingdom of Merinard has no territorial ambitions, there will be peace between the kingdom of Merinard and the kingdom of the Holy King, in whatever form, when the Holy King has offered to reconcile."

Kirilovich assured him that he had brought warm tea to his mouth.

"Nevertheless, it is unlikely that the kingdom of Merinard will walk completely close to the Holy King and hold hands. The Holy King will always confront my empire with a potential enemy, the kingdom of Merinard."

"A bargain for the Vallag Empire, huh?

"That's right. The electric march speed and breakthrough power of the Royal Merinard Army is a huge threat to the Holy King. As a result of focusing too much on the Empire, the sudden march of the Merinard kingdom should not bite your throat off. In the future, we will deploy a significant amount of combat power to the Kingdom of Merinard."

In order to keep deploying that power, the Holy King will have less power to devote to warfare against the Empire than to keep spitting out maintenance costs. The Holy King of the Holy King must have tearful eyes.
