Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

248 Aristocratic Weddings (1)

"Would you like some time now?

It was Mr. Arlyn who came to talk about finishing the rice tasting and relaxing today because time is halfway through.

While we were in this town, Ekart and the soldiers were escorting us, so we were completely rested, and was Master Ilias busy, and Mary and I were never called...

"Yeah, I don't mind. I don't have any plans today."

I'm not at work, so we can't chase him back, and we accept Mr. Arlyn comfortably and recommend the chair.

"Thank you. I've gathered a little information, so I thought I'd share it."

"When it comes to information, is that the raid?

"Yes, that's it."

I thought there would be nothing else that needed to be shared with us, but I can tell you that I don't need to dare tell you about the background of the raid... it's kind of disturbing.

But somewhere else in my mood, Mr. Arlyn starts talking.

"As a result of our efforts to gather information, it seems likely that the Yupicrisian Empire was involved in the raid."

"The Yupicrisian Empire... is an enemy nation in the south of this country, isn't it? Is this such a dangerous situation that Master Ilias is attacked?

To the slightly unexpected information asked, Hulka puts her neck up.

To my knowledge, it is the perception that the Yupicrisian Empire is not in a position to carry out guerrilla activities in the sphere of provisional (...) thought (...) enemy nations, aimed at noble children who have deliberately left such borders, and who cannot be said to be very powerful.

Even if we abduct Master Ilias, I do not believe that the Kingdom of the Rainium will drink any demands, and where we have demanded ransom from Viscount Naenas, the intrusion would not be a great sum if we consider it a weak aristocracy, a state unit.

If that's the case, it's still firmer to think that the Sacred Virgin Church of Satomi has hired some handiwork.

"To be clear, there is no need at all to be our home...... no, it seemed almost non-existent. Simply because even a small number of people are likely to succeed in the raid, they were targeted."

Actually, besides Master Ilias, there were several people attacked among the participants in this wedding.

And all in all, it was a small number of people who attacked, a weak aristocrat who was attacked with a small number of escorts and no hands-on.

"Even as a Yupicrisian empire, it's difficult to infiltrate large numbers of soldiers into enemy countries. It must have been done as a hand in disturbing this wedding."

"I see. But why? Baron Diaz doesn't even deal with the Yupicrisian Empire, does he?

"Yes, but a married nobleman confronts the Yupikris Empire."

This marriage to Baron Diaz, that's the daughter of the Baron Asey family who occasionally has a skirmish with the Upicrisian Empire.

Naturally, as a Yupicrisian Empire, it is unwelcome for the rich Baron Diaz and Baron Asee families to become kinship.

In terms of distance, Baron Achy and Baron Diaz are quite far apart, but downstream of the river that flows by the Crevilly, that's Baron Achy.

Anyway, if you're transporting supplies from Baron Diaz territory to Baron Asie territory, it's pretty good transportation and easy to do emergency assistance, etc.

With that in mind, as a Yupicrisian Empire, it would certainly be a less than happy wedding.

"But can you stop the wedding as much as you raid the attendees?

"Yeah. Right? Whatever they're getting married to."

Viscount Nenas, in particular, simply says that there is a territory next to it, and as you can see from the streets we have come through, there is no interaction, no intimacy.

In the unlikely event that Master Ilias is killed, I don't think the wedding will be cancelled.

"If that were possible, of course, I would have done it, but the guards of the Baron Diaz family, who have money, are strong, and there is no need to say the soldiers of Baron Asey territory who experience frequent combat in action. So it must be the next best thing you can do. Even if we can't stop this wedding, it just makes sense to have an ass attached."

I mean, it seems like it would be worth it if it were some kind of fabric stone in future foreign affairs, policy.

Well, surely, the nobles killed in this case may have an emotional lump against Baron Diaz and Baron Asey.

Even if I knew it was the Yupicrisian Empire that was bad.

"... Oh, what happened to the other attacked nobles?

"About two people, they've been killed. Fortunately, it's not the main one...... Some of you were injured later. That's a lot of damage when it comes to escorts."

"Wow..."

To the rather vivid damage, Toya leaks her voice into the wind that she doesn't think.

"We would have been the same if you hadn't been here. Thank you again."

"No, it's your job. We can't even catch them in the first place, because everyone is running away."

I wave and respond hastily to Mr. Arlyn, who carefully bows his head as he says so.

For once, one person was seriously injured, but that's all.

Not a very proud result.

The two were to be dealt with by the lead soldiers, and if there were one or two more enemies, it would have been quite dangerous.

The Natsukis snort at my words, too, while questioning them a little strangely.

"But you know better, don't you? I don't think I got a confession."

"Yes. Consider all kinds of information, right? Some of them seem to have shot some of the thieves, but they didn't have anything to prove it. So we can't even protest on diplomatic routes."

Oh, did you shoot that level of enemy?

If we tolerate this damage, we may be able to kill him, but considering that even Toya and I couldn't attack him, it would seem realistic that Natsuki could do something about it.

Is that the kind of hand-worked thing that's going through an actual war?

"That's unfortunate... but if so, does that mean you're not at risk of being attacked on your way home,"

"It will probably be. Of course, I don't know about ordinary bandits and demons."

"Around there, well, it won't be a problem.... I don't think there are any bandits on that level."

Instead, don't stay.

Because I'm scared.

At that level in the first place, you'd make enough money, even if you didn't do any bandits.

"So, that's not all we're talking about, is it?

"Huh? Really?

Toya gives a slightly unexpected voice to Hulka, who confirms to sigh lightly, but naturally so.

Perhaps the most political authority in this line of work is Mr. Arlyn, who seems to be Mr. Ilias' guide.

I don't think you're just gonna come and tell me because we're just gonna care.

"If it's just current information, you don't need us to know. The political story is none of our business."

"That's just great, Mr. Hulka. Yes, the story now is a premise. It's a favor based on this. For once, I managed to keep my face open because I was safely repelled, but what was targeted was already a problem in itself."

Simply put, it was thought by the Empire to be a miscellaneous fish nobleman, which in extension can also cause insults in the aristocratic society.

As the Viscount Nenas, that's a little uneven.

So, I just want to manage to rewind at the wedding production, but it is Lady Ilias, a girl under ten, who attends.

It would have been nice if it had been the fact that we had participated, but the incident had taken place, which inevitably led to the ears and eyes being gathered in the Viscount Nenas family that became a party to it.

"Dear Mr Ilias, I shall lack majesty..."

"Well, there's nothing you can do about age, is there? So, what's a favor for us?

"Yes. The purpose of assisting Master Ilias...... No, for the purpose of diverting attention, would you please join us? Of course, I'll think of some kind of reward for that."

I told you the details, and that seemed to be the purpose.

It's our freedom to ask or not to ask for more than is included in the first contract.

They thought it was hard to ask me to 'join' without letting them know anything.

"Uh... what about Mr. Arlyn or Mr. Ketra? There were other Ekarts, I think."

Asking Hulka in a slightly puzzled manner, Mr. Arlin shook his head as troubled.

"We are here as samurai. You cannot participate. Needless to say, the Ekarts, right? I can't have a formal place."

"When I say that, so do we... I can't answer noble people."

"You can just stand there. You won't even be able to talk to me. There's a highly-ranked adventurer under the Viscount Nenas family, that's what matters."

"When you say high rank adventurers, we're rank five, right?

"It's okay. I'll do well there."

To Natsuki, who told him to check, Mr. Arlin confidently puts his chest up.

"Lafan's economy, which was stagnant, contributed to its development -"

... Oh, a supply of namewood.

Looks like we've got more work to do.

"Religious groups that have plunged the town into chaos. committed to the captivity of its leaders -"

Totally lucky.

I just happened to catch Satomi I ran into.

As far as the Church of the Virgin of Satomi is concerned, I really haven't done anything.

"I discovered a new dungeon..."

It just so happens that the abandoned pit that came in was a dungeon.

It was known that there was an abandoned pit, so it was a rediscovery in one way or another.

"Attacking that dungeon at a single party. Highest ranked adventurers currently diving deepest"

Because you're not in there except us!

I'm not lying.

I'm not lying, but I only pick up the convenient part too much.

It is entirely a 'misleading expression'.

The press?
