Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

He gnawed at the suddenly crushed high-speed ball and entered a strange place where the financés returned.

"--nh, nh, ngh!"

However, I can't spit the marquis out in front of me, and I move my throat desperately.

"Na, Nao, it's okay!? Drink this!"

Nao-kun, are you okay?

Hulka's tea cup is offered to me, and Natsuki, who stood up quickly, scrubs my back.

Something warm in his hand--ahealing magic.

With a little ease, I reached into the cup that Harka offered and managed to swallow what was in my mouth.

"Oh, thank God...... Phew......"

I took a sip of tea and returned the cup to Halka. When I exhaled deeply, Yuki, who was in the middle waist, was biting her teeth for some reason.

Shit, I'm late!

"No, what!?"

Is the reason for the defeat in the seat!

"No, that's why!?"

The Marquis of Marmont sitting in front of me laughs at Yuki who says things that don't make sense.

"Oh, oh, you seem to be close, right?"

― ― It's you who caused it!?

That said, I couldn't possibly tell the Marquis that, so I took a few deep breaths, calmed my feelings, and then asked.

"... what do you mean? Am I an aristocrat?"

"Thank you. Is that what this is all about?" Isn't that great? "

It's not good.

I didn't want to be an aristocrat, and it was Toya who needed it.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Feeling my confusion, Master Raymond sighed in amazement and turned to the Marquis of Marmont.

"Father, it's too abrupt."

I've been telling you this for a long time?

“Too much folding, he'll be in trouble if he doesn't explain it properly.”

"Hmm, that's right..."

The Marquis of Marmont continued his words, framing his arms to think for a moment.

"It's the wedding of Baron Diaz, whom you met." Do you remember seeing Arlandi Slaviya at that time? "

"Yes, the Elf's."

"That's right, he came as a substitute for Count Sliviya. I mean, if we go back to the territory, we need to report it to our father. Of course, I'll report on the two of you who stood out so much."

"... were you that prominent?"

"Quite a bit. Sometimes there were few elves, but there were too many as escorts."

Oh, I'm sure Hulka did.

"Hey, Nao..."

Hulka nodded unexpectedly to my side and poked her elbow in embarrassment, but the strange aristocrat was also nagging, and he definitely had some gaze.

The dress suited you, and I fell in love with you so unexpectedly - you're not in love with me, are you?

"Speaking of which, at that time, Arlandi-sama helped me." But even so-- "

“That's not all. You guys fought off the raid on Ilias, right?”

"... surely that thief was quite a foe."

I don't mean to be proud of myself, but it would probably have been hard to turn back without us.

Arlene seems to have exaggerated it a bit, and she understands that it stands out.

However, if it is only that, it is said that "there is a competent elf adventurer".

Even as Count Suliviya, it was only one piece of information.

"But shortly thereafter, Viscount Nenus gave you the dungeon and the land around it." Even though I saved my daughter's life, it was a little too much to give as a reward for the escort - even if I knew the truth about it, I didn't do it well. "

That's what the Marquis of Marmont said, smiling bitterly and shrugging his shoulders.

Marquis Marmont, who has an affair with Viscount Nenus and knows his secrets, can understand the reward given to us as a bad debt to the House of Viscount Nenus, but not to Count Suliviya.

I was just wondering if I could reward the adventurer that much, so I started gathering more information.

"Thereupon, a report called 'Discovering the sea in the dungeon' was added." So this is definitive, and I'm starting to root out Nao as an aristocrat. "

"I don't understand that. Why did you do that..."

If you start moving to get a dungeon, you know.

We left Lafang to avoid such trouble.

How am I supposed to be a nobleman?

Isn't the situation too dramatic?

"Simply put, Count Suliviya is an Elf, and you're an Elf too, so... don't you understand?" You guys seem to be alienated by the situation in this country. - Do you know that this country has adopted a policy of harmony? "

“Yes, thanks to you, we can live without any problems.”

"I guess so." Of course, there is a desire to attract talented talent. "

From those in neighboring countries where people are discriminated against - such as the Yupicristian Empire and the Kingdom of Fegray - the Kingdom of Rainham is easy to live in, at least for as long as explicit discrimination is forbidden.

That alone brings people together with nature, and such people fear that the Ragnum Kingdom will be conquered by the Yupicristian Empire, etc., and they are more loyal to the country and more active in defense.

"With that in mind, it was conceived to raise even more talented people. The current system of nobility replacement occurs, but the proportion of the human race is still overwhelmingly high..."

It seems that the proportion of the nobility among the Humans is very high compared to the proportion of the population of the Humans, either because of their caste character or because of their ethnicity.

Some of these nobles, though not so great, discriminate against other people.

The current situation is doing well, but if the balance of power among the races breaks down too much, the national policy may change.

The source of the power of this country lies in the harmony of a wide variety of races.

"What will happen if it breaks down..."

The aristocrats with such fears always aimed to increase the number of aristocrats other than the human race, and the Count of Suliviya was one of them.

"That's where the white arrow stood, Nao, you." Adventurer rank is still low, but there is a dungeon with a sea. That's of great political value. "

Less profitable, but strategically worthwhile dungeons.

The current situation in which the ownership of it is individual is not very pleasant for the country.

It's impossible for an aristocrat to try to get it by force, and I don't want to be transferred by mistake to someone who is breathing in another country.

Nevertheless, I would like to avoid taking up the rights once recognised by the Member States without reason.

"As a result of the overlapping of such national intentions and the intentions of Suliviya who wanted to increase the elves' nobility, Nao became independent as an aristocrat around the dungeon."

"I see... but then, shouldn't we make Toya an aristocrat?"

Toya is the one who needs nobility to marry Leah.

If the dungeon was a problem, it would be nice for him to be a representative, or rather it would fit a lot neatly, but the Marquis of Marmont smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"The one who was moving first was Suliviya." Tsubaki started to move after hearing Torya's story from Leah. I can't push the crosswalk while I'm a couple of steps behind. "

Even the Beastman is a "nobleman other than the human race", but it was Count Suliviya who started the rooting first.

What would happen if the Marquis of Marmont tried to force Toya in?

If Toya was an Elf, it wouldn't have been a problem, but a Beastman couldn't have gone too far.

"That's why I pushed Nao back." It was a little imposing, but it dominated the Viscount's position. "

"... yes?"

I thought that nobility was at best the lowest knight, the good baron, but suddenly the Viscount?

What are you talking about?

I wasn't the only one who seemed confused, and Haruka pulled his eyebrows together and opened his mouth.

"Viscount? I'm next to Viscount Nenus, but no matter what I think, I can build a good relationship..."

"Don't worry, I've got a story there." I've summed it up in a way that benefits the Viscount Nenus, so that's no problem. Well, if you're actually appointed, I think you should go say hello. "

"That's... yes..."

If the count tells me, the viscount, even if he is dissatisfied, will not be able to show it.

I wonder if there is really no problem, but I can't say anything more than that, and I nodded with an indifferent expression.

The Marquis of Marmont may be aware of Hulka's heart, but without mentioning it, he turned his gaze to Toya and smiled.

So, Toya, are you a baron?

"-Yes? Me?"

You're under Nao's command, but you don't complain, do you?

"No, no, no, if that's all right, if I can marry Leah, I don't mind at all... baron?"

"If Rare were to marry, she would probably need a baron's status." That's why I made Nao my Viscount. Besides, if you put the dungeon rights holders together in one house, it won't be too much trouble. "

Originally, there was only one more aristocrat associated with the dungeon.

However, by agreeing to the proposal of the Count of Suliviya, the Marquis of Marmont took him as an ally, and furthermore, he rooted in the House of Viscount Nenus to make recommendations, and then used the marriage of the eldest daughter of the House of Marquis Leah to expand the boundaries of the nobility in two.

He ended up making me a Viscount and Toya a Baron.

Should I say the Marquis?

Even though it looks like a brain muscle at first glance, what you're doing is very aristocratic.

I'm the Viscount's house, and Toya is the housekeeper... where are the Hulkas?

If it's the right of the dungeons, we can't take Hulkas out.

Perhaps we should adjust, but when Marquis Marmont sees that I and Toya alone have less than a majority of rights, the Marquis strangely looks back at us.

Ahhn? You and those three are getting married, right?

"Nnh!?"

And that's what I'm talking about - Meatier!?
