Tsumi Kake Tensei Ryoushu no Kaikaku

Count Melovyn had applied every measure to hang his teeth on the wizard's spill.

He placed soldiers in Guan, gave subsidies to the wizard, and put surveillance on the famous wizard.

"- Again!

The letter, which arrived under Count Melovyn, stated that the wizard had used his eyes to shake off surveillance and disappear using the magic formations of light.

Count Melovyn slaps the letter against his desk and holds his head with both hands.

Anger seemed to cut the blood vessels in my head.

A famous wizard, a powerful wizard, a wizard who had appeared in the headlines in recent years, those people had begun to disappear one after the other.

Some wizards have stayed with me in law, but wizards who run away with their families and disciples were endless.

Remarkable are the wizards of Ichii who interacted with the Beast Man.

Unlike the Earl of Melovyn and the wizards held directly by the wealthy, some wizards without employers who discriminate against beasts rebelled against the recent stream of beastly exclusion.

The successive flows of the Beasts into Count Sola's territory were rather good news for Count Melovyn, except that the Wizard would begin to travel like he did after the Beasts.

I let my subordinates look, and they say the beasts who came to sell tracing paper are hustling around about the virtues of Count Sola's territory.

Says Count Sola territory is a special terroir with extremely little beastly discrimination and no one questioning whether a wizard's workshop is co-located next to the church.

Indeed, a land pattern that can be devoted to magic research without being seen with white eyes by church believers would be fascinating.

But some groups were spreading another piece of information.

"Marquis Giestra......"

The influence of information manipulation using church followers by the male of the ecclesiastical denomination, the Marquis of Zystra, could not be ignored.

Church believers hustled about rumors that Count Melovyn's hands lit an unfired demon in the King's capital and dressed one of the wizards in wet clothes, and began to pity the wizards who lived in Count Melovyn's territory with their gaze from above.

At last, the wizard says back what the Church where the bishop was captured would do if church believers opened their mouths to the heretics who also lost asylum from the lord.

A wizard pioneered in a quarrel with the Church leaves Count Melovyn territory. Wizards had also begun to gather information on suspicious fires that had occurred independently in the demons of the King's capital to discern Count Melovyn.

But there were other reasons for the wizards to escape from Count Melovyn's territory.

"You should have noticed when the tracing paper came out earlier than the rest"

Count Melovyn bites his teeth.

The tracing paper was sold throughout the kingdom, but the first to be sold was in Count Melovyn territory.

Initially, Count Melovyn looked up because the beast man was selling it, but when he actually used it, he was captivated by its comfort of use.

The drawing time was extremely short and the research went on all at once.

I was pleased that astronomers had doubled their life expectancy when the logarithmic table was invented, but the impact the tracing paper had on Count Melovyn far exceeded that of the logarithmic table.

Even Count Melovyn, who was studying beside his work as a lord, was devastated.

For wizards specializing in magic research, it didn't take long for the tracing paper to become a necessity.

Temporarily enough that every wizard's house was always equipped.

Until then the supply is abruptly interrupted......

As the Beast Man disappeared from Count Melovyn's territory and the number of tracing papers he had always prepared rapidly decreased, the wizards searched for tracing paper and wandered through town like a deceased.

Count Melovyn himself, reaching for a shelf that always had tracing paper in place in an attempt to carry out research during his stewardship, and his dismayed experience with that shelf, which was emptied, cannot be counted.

The "as long as you have that paper" word that spills with sighs every time you fail to make a magic formation drawing.

We break into the wizards' houses, steal tracing paper, and even the thieves who resell it. Count Melovyn's appetite was greatly diminished when burglars came out of a mercenary regiment that he had invited in for a war against the new Ziyuz nation to come.

Such a fold of confusion, announced by Count Sola, is the ban on the export of tracing paper.

Now the wizards have taken off the territory of Count Melovyn with us to the territory of Count Sola.

It's not even Count Melovyn's intention to stuffing the wizards with "You're just throwing away your hometown with one piece of paper".

Life is short and inevitably limited in time to devote to research. Count Melovyn even empathizes that it is natural psychology for a wizard to want to secure more research time in that limited amount of time.

I also understood what Sora's measures would be because I understood the Wizard's psyche.

Pull in the beast man no one pays attention to, and catch the wizard with the bait of tracing paper on the fishing line the beast man he gets.

The kingdom was no longer Sola's fishing moat. The wizard is in a state of eating.

A brilliant and highly motivated wizard, like a chunk of upliftment, concentrates on Count Sola's territory.

Magic is force.

It was more obvious than looking at fire, such as what would happen if a good wizard concentrated on Count Sola's territory, which could greatly increase research efficiency in tracing paper.

Of course, Count Melovyn didn't wriggle his hand either. I was beginning to create alternatives.

They carefully scraped the parchment and thinned it, trying to replace the tracing paper.

However, with the absence of an animal man with excellent senses, fewer people can scrape parchment thin without peeling, and labor costs are higher than the original parchment.

Even if it wasn't Count Sola's territory, at least there were more wizards trying to move to other territories where the beast man would sharpen parchment and finish high quality.

"... is this retaliation?

Count Melovyn shrugs.

I tried to get the Royal Family to take the Beast Man, who is under Sola's command, an act of retaliation.

The paradox is that we have to use essential soldiers in the war to stop the exodus, rather than at the point of war with the new Ziyuz state when the wizard is gone.

The fact that it was caused by only one nobleman, Sola, who does not even have a faction, not a country.

No weapons have been used. Words are not used either.

But Count Melovyn was beaten to the point that he didn't like the importance of human resources in this short period of time.

"- Sir, I have received a letter from Count Sola!

The butler jumped into Count Melovyn's room in a hurry. I'm not usually a fool who jumps in without even knocking, but given that this butler is also a wizard, I couldn't help but overreact to a letter from Sola.

Neither Count Melovyn nor the butler noticed he jumped in without knocking. He stood up unexpectedly and smiled.

"You're finally here! Come on!"

Count Melovyn, who received a letter from Sola trying to snap from the butler, immediately checks the contents.

It's a letter written on tracing paper on purpose.

"- Ju, admit to marrying the beast man...?

In what was written in the letter, Count Melovyn's head was filled with question marks.

Congratulating Sola Klein on marrying the Beastman was a condition for the resumption of tracing paper exports.

"Sir, the letter appears to be a joint name of Count Sola and His Royal Highness the King..."

The butler is pointing behind the letter with his trembling fingertips.

Count Melovyn turned the letter over and found the signature of Sola and Prince Wang.

Question swells up in the back of the brain.

At some point I was also surprised that the relationship between Sola and Prince Wang had improved, but also by the fact that the royal family had allowed the marriage of the beast man to the aristocracy.

"I guess there are no more lies in the contents of the letter than His Royal Highness's signature..."

It was as if Count Melovyn had no idea why he wished to marry the Beastman to the demands, keeping the whole kingdom involved. Something bigger than that is going to work.

Nevertheless, I have never crossed the line with small demands. The relationship between Sola and Prince Wang has improved, and no longer can any wizard be held against the aristocratic faction of the South West even by a diplomatic card called the ban on the export of tracing paper.

Count Melovyn looks sideways at the empty shelf where the tracing paper is gone and sighs.

"Marriage to the Beast Man? Be my guest. Don't cut my research time for something like that."

I don't understand, the Earl of Melovyn holds his head with a grunt.

That's when I noticed the stretch that says small under the tracing paper.

Turn your attention to something.

- The Beasts of the East are sociable, aren't they? We've talked about a lot. For example, about the cloth that someone had dedicated to the Beast Man.

Earl Melovyn stiffens when he hears the sound of his own blood draw with his own ears.

- It's just a sickle.

There is no way we can find out where the cloth came from unless we win the Eastern Beastman in total. It was Count Melovyn who wanted to deny it, but Sola remembers being admired by the Beastman.

Can we simply solicit information in Count Sola's territory and suck up information from the beasts flowing in from other realms without limits?

"If, in the future, the eyes and ears of the Beast will be Count Sola's information network..."

The beasts who come to sell tracing paper are in a position to get information about the wizards that are the essence of the Wizard Territory. The information obtained by the Beast Man will reach Sola's ear.

You can't drive back the Beast Man. If I do that, I'll even run away to the wizard.

In the future, intelligence agents who can never refuse to enter the territory will bring up information without limits.

In the case of Count Melovyn now, who brought distrust and disgust to the Beast Man, it is not known how much information will be leaked.

In the future, we have to at least try not to bring hostility from the Beast Man.

"… there is no choice"

With a headache, Count Melovyn took a brush to write a reply to Sola.
