Survival in Another World With My Master
Episode 383 - The Diplomatic Attitude of the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom
"Was it too much to bring two platoons?"
"It's the good fortune of the royal family, so I don't think I can say it's too much."
I see? Well, Doriada... if Doriada says so.
I arrived at the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom, but I don't have to say this in particular. I was having tea with Doriada and I was lecturing her about the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom.
Looks like the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom is struggling to accommodate the demonic gun squad, two platoons, and a hundred people. According to what I hear, the small coalition invited to the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic has brought only the minimum number of guards necessary. It's the policy of a few elites.
The Dragonis Mountain Kingdom is a mountain nation whose name is mountainous. There are also roads, but they are narrow roads that run along the ridges and stems of the mountains, and there is a severe difference in height, which is very inconvenient for large numbers of people to come and go.
However, the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom was also home to a large number of monsters. I could be raw, and with my strength, I could be attacked by monsters on the road and go missing. Then it would be laughed that it is a weak country that can't protect even one of the envoys from another country, and the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom doesn't care about such a country either - apparently.
Isn't it possible that the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom will be evacuated if we can't protect the security of the streets as a nation?
"As a citizen of the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom, unless you are a child, monsters like the ones on the streets will not be a problem."
"What's so scary about that?"
So almost all the people are strong enough to protect themselves from monsters? No, it's just... maybe the people who need to get around the streets. Isn't that right? I'd like to think so.
Could it be that the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom is a cerebral state?
"That's not all, but..."
That said, Doriada smiled bitterly. What is it? The big book of ideas is really like a dragon... I mean, the weak don't seem interested or worthwhile. No, it's not that I don't value it. Or should I say that we don't recognize each other as equals?
"I don't think such an attitude will pass very often, but is it because there are most of the subordinate states that are called to the Feast of the Founding of the People...?"
“Yes, well, the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom and the Alliance of Small Nations do not recognize that fact.”
I see... I read the participating countries, but most of them were small countries belonging to the Union of Small States, and there weren't many people visiting from far away countries.
Well, that's true. Travel in this world is by no means safe. Monsters, bandits, and other objects to watch out for are sesame seeds, and even though there are healing magic and potions, there's no reason for them to fall in the middle of the road due to injuries and illnesses they sustained along the way. Above all, when the main mode of transportation is a carriage, it takes weeks to cross the Merinado Kingdom.
Further through the Alliance of Small Nations, when you get to the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom, you will climb a steep mountain trail on foot... There are only people from the Alliance of Small States who have a strong direct interest in it.
"If the opponent is a state that is recognized as equivalent, we will send the dragon cavalry to the foot." That's why we have a well-equipped facility at the foot to receive a large number of escorts. ”
"And since no one has ever brought a large number of soldiers to the capital, we have to struggle to deal with them."
“That's true, but it's not our fault. It's worse if you're not ready to welcome guests. This is the kind of thing."
"The rituals of nobles and royals are complicated and strange."
If you think about it, my ability to build most buildings instantly can be very useful when there are not enough dormitories or buildings. It's not self-righteous, but it might be able to handle every situation.
So, you're going to spend the rest of the day doing nothing?
“The Dragonis Mountain Kingdom is probably busy accommodating the people we brought along. As soon as we arrived, the royal family went out and met with us, which would be a sign that they attached importance to us. Perhaps you would like to invite me to a dinner party at night?"
”Hey, dinner party... I don't know any table manners?”
"It's all right, because there's no such thing as hard manners for a dinner party in the Dragonine Mountain Kingdom." I'm sure Grande will enjoy it too. "
Huh? It seems pretty casual to say that you can enjoy Grande as well.
Grande is very bad at using utensils, or utensils. That's true, too. There are scales and claws on her hands, and I'm not good at grabbing such small things. Basically, if it's not something you can grab and eat, then you need to feed it.
By the way, the grande is buried in the cushion and sleepy. Basically, Grande's pretty much asleep unless she has some business to do. It seems that the dragon is basically a rat.
"Master Koosuke, it seems that we have finished accommodating our personnel." Half of the Musketeers and half of the Wizards remain on the ship in the name of securing the Wizard Airship, and the rest of the crew are a little far away from here, but they have been assigned a dormitory in the yard. "
"I see. Please tell each of you to rest properly." If something goes wrong, report it. ”
“Yes, I will tell you that.”
While listening to Gerda's response, continue to discuss future moves with Doriada. I'd like Aira's opinion, too. Ira was very knowledgeable. Well, if they find out where the people are, they'll be here soon. Let's wait a little longer.
