The reborn aristocrat is ambitious! "You've got pretty good status, give em to me"

- Dwarf raid.

Everyone who heard the news was surprised.

Isaac goes to the office even though he hasn't been called.

In the office, a civilian was rushing into and out of the room.

"Father, what's going on?

When Isaac entered the office, Claude and Bridget were also there.

It would be to listen to a long time elf dating a dwarf.

Randolph was surprised at Isaac's appearance.

"Isaac, what's going on?

"What's the matter with you? If you hear Dwarf's attacking you, you're gonna have to come and see what's going on."

"Oh, right.... Sit down."

Randolph thought for a moment before allowing Isaac to be present.

Because due to unexpected circumstances, I also wanted to borrow the wisdom of my child.

Besides, Isaac thinks beyond the boundaries of common sense.

"There will also be bumping out of common sense thoughts into unexpected events," Randolph thought.

It's as if it's a tough drama to handle.

"So, what's the situation now?

"Now I just got my second report on the early horse. The number of dwarves is roughly twenty. In the first report, they said they had attacked, but no battle had actually taken place. But he's fully armed, so he doesn't know what's gonna happen."

"Being fully armed doesn't mean Dwarf came looking for a handshake to get along... Do you know anything about Mr. Claude or Mr. Bridget?

I guess Claude, who was left last year saying, "I'm worried about Isaac," was also tired of being Mathias' companion.

I went back to the village this year to rest.

... No, maybe he was back to tell Mathias about the stupidity he couldn't tell in public.

But there may be more information in the village than once I left.

Isaac asks with anticipation.

But the two shake their heads sideways.

"I was telling you about it, but I really don't know. Why did the Dwarves suddenly try to contact humans..."

"You never heard of Dwarves doing anything to humans last year."

They didn't hear any rumors in the Elf village.

So Claude and the others seem surprised by the unpredictable event.

"The Dwarves are trying to get along with humans..."

"I can't say enough about not saying, 'Then why now? Don't worry about it."

Randolph answers Isaac's questions.

But that's not the answer.

I just had more questions.

It's been about three years since Elf and I formally entered into a treaty.

If you were thinking about dating a human, you'd have been in contact sooner.

If we thought "ourselves" when we saw that humans and elves were getting along, we didn't have to come fully armed.

All you have to do is ask someone elf you know to mediate.

But if you were going to wage war for any reason, it's odd that just about twenty people would come.

They say there's no battle going on, so they don't think they're going to fight.

There's too little material to judge what you're here to do.

Isaac and the others just haunt their heads and nothing has progressed.

I just wanted some additional information.

But it's about four days by carriage to Alster, where there's a collection of rock salt dug out of the mining yard.

Even though the road has been set up, it takes about two days to rush to get in touch.

I want to know what's going on right now, but I can't know what's going on.

Isaac doesn't like the inconvenience of not having a phone or a radio.

"In the meantime, shouldn't we see how it goes until more information comes in?

"Bridget's right. I think we should avoid the overreaction of suddenly mobilizing the army."

By the time Isaac arrived, there must have been talk of gathering troops.

Against Claude gathering his troops.

Isaac is suspicious of that.

(As humans seem surprisingly rich, they join hands with Dwarves to take the land away or something...... No, why don't we go that far)

A disturbing thought occurred to me for a moment, but I immediately deny it.

Regardless of Bridget, Claude and the adults aren't very greedy.

And since young Bridget is not the type to be able to ventriloquist, she should have gone into attitude if she was up to something.

In the first place, there's a big hole in this idea.

Unlike elves, Dwarves can make their own things.

Anyway, if the elves are going to attack the human country, I don't know if the Dwarves at heart will be interested in human soil.

Of course, it could be an operation where an elf comes under attack when Dwarf is distracted.

But for a positive operation, the numbers are still too small.

Bridget's right, it seems best to see how it goes.

"Have you contacted your grandfather?

"No, not yet. I made contact with Dwarf, but I'm not sure if it's a fight or a negotiation. I sent an early horse asking Viscount Maxwell of Alster to see for what purpose he came, so I'm going to send him the first report after the report arrives."

If the battle has begun, we can send a report that the battle has begun.

But just saying "Dwarf's here," I can't send a report.

"What are you doing here? They just ask me back."

Minimum content is also required to report.

Now, I still couldn't do anything.

"Well, to some extent, I don't think you're listening out there. Viscount Maxwell has sent us an early horse waiting to arrive."

"That's ridiculous..."

When I met Bridget, I had a peaceful way of meeting her.

But the Dwarves don't seem very favorable.

I couldn't help but wonder what reason I came.

----------

Early horses arrived before supper.

Not only were the Isaacs still in the office, but the civilians waited jizzily for Randolph to finish reading the letter.

"It seems Viscount Maxwell has heard from the Dwarves. They're demanding, 'Bring him in' cause we need to talk to the guy who started the deal with the elves first."

Randolph stares at Isaac.

No, it's not just Randolph.

The gaze of all who were in this room was focused on Isaac.

"What, it's me?

"Who else is there?

I feel unsettled when everyone sees me.

Claude made an accurate point to Isaac like that.

"No, well, yes... If you just started the deal, you'd be the first to live on the ground, and after you resumed your interaction, I was wondering if your grandfather was in charge."

"I think so, but in this case, I think I'd like to talk to Isaac."

Randolph's ideas are the best.

But in this case, I was wrong.

Nor are they strictly saying, "Bring whoever made the first deal to identify who it is and who it is".

What the Dwarves wanted to say was come out in charge (...) ".

That did not communicate well as a word, and Viscount Maxwell received exactly as he said he was looking for "the first one to start getting along with the elves" and wrote them as they stood in the report.

Randolph, who received it, also received it as it stood and wanted to talk to Isaac.

"When did you do something to Dwarf?

"I didn't."

"Didn't you really do something? Don't get mad at me."

"What can you do if you've never even met him?

Isaac immediately denies Bridget's words.

I have no interaction with Dwarf at all.

Unlike at the time of Marquis Wallick, it should have been very unlikely that what Isaac did was affecting Dwarf.

"I just want to ask you what you want to talk about, but it looks like you should head this way. Let's leave early tomorrow morning. I want you both to come."

"Let me accompany you, of course"

"I don't like it when you talk to Dwarf and your life is doomed right now. We'll work together."

"Thank you"

Randolph stroked his chest down as Claude and Bridget were happy to accompany him to the discussion.

Between humans and dwarves, we can expect mediators if the elves come in.

"Isaac is going to have you go with him, okay?

"Of course, I'm fine. I'm anxious to hear what they say..."

(What are you really here for...)

Discussions with Dwarves are welcome in themselves.

If we get along, we can build up another track record.

But I don't know if I can stand around well in the bump production.

I was really anxious and I couldn't help it.

Bridget and Claude were the ones who tipped me out there.

"If you mean you showed up near a pile of salt, are you the Saltstadt people after all?

"That would be the case for those nearby. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Dwarf in a while since I was ambassador."

Squeeze as Claude nostalgic.

(Claude hasn't seen Dwarf...)

With that word, Isaac was able to make one assumption.

"Right!

"What's up? Did you come up with something?

Randolph asks Isaac.

"I'd like to make sure one thing, but maybe the folks in Morane Village are no longer going to Dwarf's to buy salt or anything?

"There's something I can buy in the near field. No one would bother to walk around the woods to buy it for around ten days one way...... Oh, well."

Claude, too, seems to have imagined why Dwarf came.

"A human took a guest who had been with us for many years. Didn't you come here dissatisfied with that and want to say even a word of complaining?

"Uh, I see."

Bridget wasn't the only one convinced.

Those around him also give the expression, "Then I'm convinced."

He just had the face that Francis, the secretary who was in the room, was not convinced by it.

"But is that all you come to man fully armed?

"It is...... You don't know until you talk."

I could imagine why, but not enough to answer his questions.

"Aren't they also in contact with humans for the bicentennial period, so it's for caution?

"No, no, don't you think 'ourselves' because the elves interact well? To that end, we may be trying to exaggerate our power in the first contact"

"But isn't that a bad idea if you're trying to make friends?

"But given the war of 200 years ago..."

When Norman first gave his opinion, the others began to give their opinion as well.

It is also their job to express various opinions on such matters.

By giving an opinion, it was to make it easier for Randolph to make a decision.

Their opinions, however, do not go beyond the realm of assumptions, as does Isaac's.

Again, there's nothing I can do without actually seeing Dwarf.

It was dissolved assuming a number of leading circumstances and figuring out a way to cope with it.

After the dissolution, Isaac thought "I'll do what I can" while we had dinner.

This is my chance.

I don't just want to make achievements, I want to produce something that tastes good to me.

Even in the worst case scenario, I want to benefit the "Marquis Welrod family" in some way, not "myself".

Isaac was thinking about what he should do.
