The Magician Wants Normality

- In Sarovara Royal Castle (Tircian Perspective)

"Yes, I'm ready. Then, please."

"I'll take care of it, Dear Tircia. Sometimes it's because it's a request from you who guided this country more than anyone else... it's a 'favor' from our benefactor, the Wizard. Let's make it happen."

"Hehe, I'm counting on you."

Smiling and nodding, the man he was calling for left the room after bowing his head deeply. It reminds me of his reliable words and also deepens nature and my laughter.

He is an influential merchant in Sarovara that even nobles cannot ignore. And it was also my faithful subordination.

Something like tea leaves and poison I used was what I asked him to get. I mean... well, he's also quite the person who went through the back.

His presence, which moves as my pawn with pleasure, is also great that he was able to accept the request from Mizuki.

"Nevertheless, you've gone a long way and easy. In Alberda, there could be a sharp drop in business partners."

The samurai who rebrewed the tea is also one who pledges allegiance to me. She was sometimes asked to work beyond the realm of a samurai. Maybe that's why the merchant's attitude was strange.

"... to that extent, it is a circumstance that can be said to be exhaustive. Ning Lo, are you glad you got the information as soon as possible?

"That's right...... As far as I can tell, is the house in question a house that can be connected to the Duke's house in Kivera? As long as King Kivela is tolerated for such outrages, I don't think it's a good idea to buy disharmony."

The merchants basically like to do business. For them like that, Kivera is a country that cannot be ignored. And this time, the situation on Kivera's side is a little opaque.

It is also possible that the king is unaware of this incident. For some reason, maybe I can't move. In fact, King Kivera 'didn't move'.

In other words, it is also conceivable that the Duke family in question will again imitate itself at will.

"Well, that's certainly possible. One of these days Mizki will be boarding Kivela, but now we still don't know what King Kivela thought allowed such outrage."

"So, what's more, you're more likely to be at a disadvantage?

"That depends on Mizuki. I think we should negotiate with King Kivera."

... No, instead of negotiating because it's about Mizki, there's no possibility of threatening to 'ravage Kivera by me, or say something very hard, or choose'.

However, that would be the last resort. Because this time it's a 'problem between countries'. Personally, those who have already become Mizki's enemies should have been hit by a 'disaster they deserve'.

If it's personal retaliation, Mizuki doesn't imitate relying on outsiders.

Use your magic and wisdom to the fullest and go swinging with your own hands.

Failure to do so means… 'To be able to do it under personal circumstances, it is impossible'. Mizuki's personal behavior must not be an issue that can be managed.

The parent cat... Mizuki's guardian, His Highness Elshon, uses Mizuki so much that he would also like to avoid protesting directly from the royal family.

If we protest as a country, for example, there could be people out there who would happily take a ride and move to dishonor both sides. (i) Unlike noble protests, royal names are troublesome inside. Because it is seen as a national unit.

With that in mind, this time, Mizki takes the form of a 'personal request to me'. I'm sure the samurai's worries are natural... so if they're at a disadvantage, the merchants' spearhead of dissatisfaction goes to Mizuki.

However much I have moved, the beginning of the matter is Mizuki. I get no more protection as a country than it is a personal request. Your Highness Elshon and I can't take refuge in Mizki.

... but.

"You don't have to worry about that. Our merchants favor Mizuki."

Smile and tell, the samurai leaned her neck wonderfully.

"In the Sarovara case, Mizki used merchants from other countries as a means of communicating information to the people, right? In a way, it's like having them create a place to interact, isn't it? Besides, we used intelligence manipulation and merchants as an attack on the nobles."

"Yeah, I know that."

As a result, the merchants moved in the right direction.

Sarovara has always been the width of the arrogant nobles. Though a merchant, a civilian. The treatment was not good.

However, the incorporation of merchants into Mizki's proposed "Sarovara Correction Plan" will change the treatment. The aristocrats, who were given large sums of compensation by the Wizard and other kingdom-supported royalty... gave in to the merchants for the first time.

"The merchants who manipulate gold and merchandise are stronger than the" nobles in financial difficulty ", although the period and the houses in question were limited. It will rarely happen to a large stream so far. But it was enough for the merchants to lower their drinks."

Normally, you wouldn't be able to do much for fear of retaliation, but this time the people behind the merchants were too powerful. Of these, the most feared is the Wizard...... Mizki.

Tondemo daughter, who overturned Sarovara's situation personally, delighted, tweaked the fools...... no, educated. Moreover, on his return home, he made it clear that 'if you imitate something funny, now it's time to hunt'...!

I mean, that bunch of things that don't go for Mizuki are 'just educated'.

If it's also retaliation, there's definitely more hell ahead of us now.

His Highness Elshon is the only one who can flatter Mizuki like that. And only the royal family, whose nobles have been scattering and lightening, can ask His Highness Elshon for it.

... it would be packed, this is. Before that, the Sarovara royal family was unwilling to move. If you keep your mouth shut, they'll crush you on their own, naturally.

Still, some of them have been asking me for relief.... but with a smile, I said, 'Do you think that's possible for a royal family that even you have taken lightly?' I gave it back to him.

This is what Mizuki said, 'Za!' It is a secret that I was strangely moved by the mood.

What a great experience......!

Note that zero high laughter while feeling high was soundproofed - it is a 'secret story' measure - and since I only do it in my own room, I haven't found out anything but a bellyful samurai. In the first place, regardless of my personal mood, it is true that I cannot move poorly.

I passed it only in 'My royal family, where there are no injustices, cannot intervene because of arrangements with other countries and magicians', so it shouldn't even be considered an outrageous sister by Lillian.

……

Maybe. Instead, your father seemed to have guessed something, but it's trivial.

"For merchants in our country, Mizuki is something to be thanked for in 'various ways'. From them, you get a chance to give back. There's loyalty to me, and they'll do their job exactly."

With that said, the samurai gave a relief look.

"Really... that would be nice. Sure, the Wizard is the benefactor of our country, but if our country suffers from it, it's different."

"Hehe! Well, for Lillian and your father, I can't give up there. But Mizuki will also show you an understanding of those circumstances, so maybe you don't have to worry too much."

Even without my personal emotions, this is close to certainty. Is it because His Highness Elshon educated Mizki that it should be?

The prince, called His Highness the Demon King, does not fit nicknames and has a good personality. For that matter, there is no forgiveness for being harmful to my country or my body. Even against Mizuki, he should be educating in that direction.

Most importantly, you wouldn't expect any goodness from Mizki with his Highness Elshon, so it would mean 'more than necessary, don't make enemies'.

Mizuki herself doesn't have the personality to sell fights with no darkness - because it's troublesome, in the sense - so her measures basically only demean the 'enemy'.

… For the time being, the effect of the measures will be tremendous. It's okay, so far, it's no harm to us.

"As we report that we are ready, let me ask you what attitude Kivera is showing. In some cases, you might be able to use it to study Lillian."

It's a killing topic for tea time with my beloved sister, but I'm better at these things than your father. If you have good material, shouldn't you use it?

At that time, I'll brew you a royal milk tea that Mizuki is supposed to teach you. I think Mizuki must think he jumped at this reward, and he laughs zero at it.

It's a secret that it's payback. I don't even want to sell my thanks.

The distance between me and Mizuki must be just about right.

You don't need to pronounce your allies out loud, or show hostile attitude. We are... 'friends'. I don't just want to get along, I want to be in the middle of an occasional fight.

Respect for each other would mean that. Instead of the country we belong to, even the top ones are different... we are sometimes enemies because we acknowledge each other. That's all.

"Dear Tircia, that sounds like fun."

"... yeah, right. More than that, I'm delighted to have such a wonderful friend."

"Right. Thank you very much."

I turned my heartfelt grin to the samurai who looked at me like I was smiling. Mizuki and I will have a long relationship. Yeah, sure.
