Sweet Reincarnation

Soon after I was offered a proposal for a shock.

The mission of the Republic of Sorami has once again arrived at the negotiating table with the mission of the Kingdom of God.

You look tired, don't you?

“That's right, you seem a little tired.”

Was there quite an inner circle of argument?

There are bears under Amorous's eyes, and the man is ruined.

Of course, Pais and the other students are also mobilizing and carefully collecting information, so they even grasp that the colorful man in front of them is accumulating fatigue in "private at night", but they don't show it on the surface.

“The Republic and this country are often different, so there's a lot to worry about.”

I'm anxious, but I talked a lot at night.

"Don't do that." I hear that it is easy to get sick in an unfamiliar foreign country. Many people think that food is not suitable for their mouths and that their food is thin. At the very least, I need to get a good night's sleep. "

“You're right, I hope this conversation will lead to a good night's sleep.”

“Surely, if it is mutually beneficial, it will be a desirable outcome for everyone.”

"...... Shall we begin?"

Chatting like this is unlikely to yield useful information. That's what Amorous decided.

"It doesn't matter." First of all, here's the summary of the negotiation... I wanted to add a few things. ”

Huh.

The leader looks at Pais as he stands.

“In our country and the Republic, we can build a relationship that can be called a strategic reciprocal relationship in military terms. Is this a common understanding?”

“That's right, we know that.”

Fine.

Needless to say, the Voltzara kingdom can potentially always be an invader because of its nomadic ethnicity and its lax perception of the boundaries of the land.

The Voltozara do not feel guilty about moving wild mountains, nor do they have conscientious reproach for making the resources they moved belong to them.

If the fruit is grown before moving, it will be harvested on its own, and if there are plants and trees that are likely to feed the livestock, it will not hesitate to eat them. The trees in the mountains belong to everyone, and if necessary, they are cut down by anyone, and they are caught and eaten by the fish in the water without anyone's permission. Beasts in the wild are subject to hunting, and it is normal to eat hunted prey or process fur and bones.

In this respect, the people of the Kingdom of God are different.

There are owners in all of the wild mountains, and people who move across the border are controlled. The plants and trees that are likely to feed the livestock are also personal property, and it is a sin to harvest fruit on your own.

Permission is also required to cut mountain trees, and fishing rights exist even for seafood.

Hunting also requires a hunting permit, and the hunted prey in principle belongs to the landowner.

This difference in common sense is the difference between people who farm around the land and people who nomadize endlessly in search of livestock feed.

Of course, farming is also practiced in the Voltzara Kingdom, and it is common to do it on the ranch even when it comes to raising livestock. It's just about the original ethnic temperament.

Culturally, the Voltzara Kingdom is good at trading and hunting. Trading is particularly good. From this point of view, we would always like to be friendly as a neighboring country.

But in military terms, it is always expansionist and a threat to the neighboring countries. It's not something that the Voltzara Kingdomers are aware of, but whenever there is a disaster such as cold or water shortage, they will unconsciously go out and try to get more.

In this respect, you must be vigilant at all times.

In the future, the Divine Kingdom and the Sorami Republic will be located in the east and west, in the form of sandwiching the Voltzara Kingdom. It would be common in the sense of feeling threatened.

"On top of that, you are trying to get a lot of supplies from our country."

Yes.

Pais and the others weren't apparently informed, but if the arrangement had been made so openly, even the fool would have noticed.

He said that it was unplanned to negotiate.

And what the Sorami Republic is trying to obtain through negotiations is that it has been required in previous negotiations to be a strategic resource such as food, iron, copper and horses, starting with dragon materials.

Obviously, the only thing that makes me smell an armament buildup is not something that makes me dumbfounded.

This is not Pais' opinion, but the mission's consensus.

“There's no problem with the food. They also trade with other countries, so foreign countries won't be alarmed if your country joins them.”

That's right.

"Metal resources... can't be used for peaceful purposes at all."

Yes.

"But the horse is difficult. If it becomes a military horse, it will be impossible.”

I would definitely like to bend it and ask you to do it.

For the kingdom of God, horses are special.

In the Kingdom of God, the kingdom of knights, being able to ride a horse is a manifestation of the privileged class, a symbol of status, and the horse itself is a symbol of their power.

It was like a sword for a samurai.

Furthermore, in other countries, small horses like donkeys, which are close to the original species, are commonplace.

Historically, the kingdom of gods has been at one end of the former force storm when it monopolized a large military horse like Thalabred, which was born in the first place in a mutation.

At present, even if you are a domestic aristocrat, it is not easy to get a military horse, and you have a queue.

Whether or not foreign forces can intervene here.

It may not be possible to be zero, but it should be impossible to be realistic.

The Sorami Republic mission, which is not yet as familiar with the domestic situation of the Divine Kingdom, will stick to it, but no matter how much Pais or the prince it is, it will not mourn. Because it is not a story with a lot of consideration.

I don't have a horse to put on the other side anymore, even if I have to negotiate how much money and things to put on one side of the balance. I can't shake my sleeve without it.

"More... dragon material." This is absolutely impossible unless you take the first condition. ”

"... please tell me why"

Pais stands prominently on the bargaining arrow because there is talk about this dragon's material.

Currently, the Dragon's material is almost exclusively owned by the Mortelun family. Of course, it is not that the royal family of Prince Lunikis, the representative of the mission, or the family of Squirrel Kadrechek, the captain of the guard, do not have the materials. But no matter what, we don't have enough to cede to another family. After all, there is no dragon material that can be negotiated except the Morteln family, the source of the material.

Like military horses, there is no room for negotiation about the possibility of increasing production in the future.

"Because dragon materials are strategic-grade supplies." This is not only your country, but also a declaration issued by the King of Japan that it will not be distributed to any foreign country in the future. I will not break it as a minister. "

Dragon materials contain a lot of value.

It has a healing effect, can be used as a magical material, has artistic value, and is meaningful as an asset, not to mention rarity.

Just because you have it, it's worth it at a glance.

I wonder if having only thirty supercars in the world would make you think you're a very rich man. Even if you only have it in your hand, it has the effect of subcontracting others, so there are people who want it to rot.

"In other words, only food and metal resources can negotiate."

"... yes"

Got it.

This is the prerequisite for negotiations.

It is a line between what can be negotiated and what cannot be negotiated.

"What is the price that the Sorami Republic can pay?"

"Here's a list"

What came out quickly was a parchment scroll.

When I glanced inside, there was a list of supplies.

Pais' eyes are clinging to new ingredients that are thought to be fruits, but apart from that, there is nothing serious about them.

Can you tell that cloth and precious metals are barely valuable in the Kingdom of God?

Gold and silver are not troublesome.

"After all, there is too little taste in our country."

I see.

Even if you can arrange everything you need to come and go, you can still be self-sufficient in the Kingdom of God.

If you deliberately trade with distant countries, you also take risks accordingly. If you don't see the benefit of the risk, you have no choice but to decline.

"So, as I told you earlier, I would like to ask Japan to take care of the wizard of your country."

From the prince's mouth, the core demands are once again asserted.

The prince didn't even bother to come out to trade in supplies. The reason he is here is because he has mastered the magic skills of the Sorami Republic.

The mission of the Sorami Republic has been romantic for some time, but it seems that they were prepared for some conversation.

"I want to make some conditions from my side."

It is inevitable that the wizard will come out of this.

But the Republican Mission insisted that there were conditions.

One is to nominally "voluntary study abroad".

It is unacceptable to treat a wizard in the name of a hostage or in such a way as to disrespect the free will of the wizard himself. The worst are experimental materials and discards in war with third countries. Even if it is not, there is nothing I can do to use it in a good way. At the very least, there is an excuse to convince the Sorami Republic that there is a benefit to it.

The other is the setting of periods and security on the round trip route.

If the deposit period is for a lifetime, it is no longer the same as abduction.

Even the Sorami Republic is a magical backward country. I don't want to leave my precious wizard in a foreign country forever.

After putting in a tie-up for a certain period of time, I insist that it is a necessary condition to have the safety of the visiting elephant be guaranteed.

At this time, it was the turn of the Divine Kingdom.

The decision is made after a conversation between the superiors, including Hiroshi and Pais.

It's good.

The Prince's decision is quick.

The Divine Kingdom took advantage of the top-down advantage.

If the two sides can come to an approximate agreement, it is the job of the diplomat accompanying the mission to set the fine-tuned terms.

The representatives of both sides shake hands when a broad framework agreement is reached.

Well then, it's a negotiated deal.

I hope you'll get together in the future.

More than a contract, a friendly country.

If you have held hands, you will be my friend from now on.

Well then, I'd like you to introduce me to the Wizard.

All at once, Pais asked for it.

If there is someone who might come to the God Kingdom in the future, I would like to be introduced to them.

"I don't think that's necessary."

Huh?

Somehow, the attitude of the Divine Kingdom side hardened.

Are you going to flip the negotiation that has just been concluded before the root of your tongue dries out?

Or have you overlooked the content of the negotiation and been tricked into doing something?

Tension runs around.

"I'm the wizard." Amorous without a bottom, calling people. Go ahead, go ahead. "

It was the head of the Sorami Republic mission who smiled.
