344 Episode 337: Takeo Da Snacks Before Breakfast. Let's see what the Royal Family has to do with the Takeos.

in King Azpar's study.

"Ha... your plan for over a year is over for now.

Now you're going to be able to apologize to Takeo.

Says King Azpar with a slightly refreshing face.

"No... Father, we haven't decided on the compensation yet, have we?

"... it was.

Ha, no more to Takeo's reward for being a nobleman, no more research spending... what else?

A crisp face immediately looks tired and asks William and Meyer.

"Um... what else is there...

I'd like to ask Takeo if it's not the same thing, but it's Takeo's own problem, so you can't ask, can you?

"Well... it would also be on the agenda for today's meeting.

So, Meyer, what's going on?

"Ha!

I made a discovery in the treasure trove during the solemnity of the Relph family.

Meyer gives three books to King Azpur.

King Azpar looks lightly inside, but...

"You don't know what it says.

What's wrong with this?

King Azpar closes the book and gives it to William.

William also looks inside but tilts his head "I don't know," he says.

"Ha!

The moment I saw this, I said, 'wouldn't Lord Kitamizato know?' I thought.

"Hmm, I see.

Letters I don't know... maybe Takeo would understand.

"Ha!"

"... surely half of the Wang du defense forces who participated in this solemn killing were working until noon today, right?

"Ha!

We are also a group until noon.

"First Kingsguard, find out if there are any seized items or similar books in the treasure trove of the Royal Castle.

If there is, take it to William's study.

Let's get William to call Takeo after today's meeting.

"Ha!"

"William, Alma and Leila will also confirm this book with the Takeos after the meeting.

"Yes, I understand.

"Ha... you won't even be able to meet if you don't decide on the compensation.

I need to decide fast... the longer I prolong, the higher the price I'm going to pay, and I'm scared.

King Azpar is dismayed.

"I just need the amount, okay?

William laughs bitterly.

"Oh... the biggest problem is that Takeo hasn't asked for anything.

If you ask me, I'll give you that... and you're afraid not to say anything.

"It's about Mr. Takeo, so I guess you won't say it while you know it.

"... that's possible.

If you ask for it, you'll get it and we can talk about it.

But... we've decided to pay with some kind of financial reward.

All you have to do is decide how much and how to pay.

"Would you rather ask Mr. Takeo?

"Uhm.

The amount, etc. will sprain out what you can pay over here, so...

I don't know how I can convince everyone, but can you listen to me?

"Okay.

Oh, with that said, Mr. Takeo and the others are going to the boarding house and the College of Mages today.

Do you mind if I do as planned?

"Um, it'll be good as planned.

Because I want to make the residents think they don't need to worry about anything by taking the same routine the royal family always does.

I'll send word from the third magic detachment to protect Takeo and the others.

"Ask for a circular to pick someone up after breakfast.

"Okay.

... Well, do you want to talk to my boys?

The kings of Azpur took their seats and headed to the hall where they all waited.

------------------------

"Dear Takeo, you eat a little salty during the war in Wang Du.

"Right.

Well, it's for people moving around, so I guess it's a dark eye.

And yet... Mia, Ku, why are you awake?

Takeo and the others are eating the snacks the maids brought earlier, but they woke up as soon as the sleeping little ones had snacks on their desks.

"Eating only the lords is cheating! We'll eat too!

Hey, Ku?

"Kew!

Two little boys come to protest.

"No... I can't tell you back when they say cheat.

Well, is it good because you're eating well...

And snacks are also bread with dried meat pinched in it, right?

"Hmm? Was Master Takeo thinking of something different?

We did have bread like this two years ago, didn't we?

"No, I don't think the bread is bad at all, 'I wonder what the mobile food for soldiers is doing during the war?' So I was hoping a little.

"Dried meat and bread or dried meat soup, right? I think it's an easy thing.

"... that I don't enjoy eating.

"Does it make sense to have fun with your pre-fight meal?

"No, there are times when you serve something at all delicious and aim to boost morale.

So why don't you develop mobile food?

"Any thoughts?

"I'd like to make cans... but you don't know how to make them, do you?

To be precise, I somehow understand... that the machining technique... "

"Canning? What do you make containers out of? Isn't it a bottle?

"The bottles are made of glass so they are vulnerable to impact and can break during transport.

But I don't think it would be a problem if the cans were made of iron and the shape changed somewhat due to the impact when transporting them.

It can be preserved for some time if you add ingredients and seasonings and let out the air inside, and the cans can be kept warm, so it's an advantage that cooking can be done by soldiers alone, right?

"I see.

Sounds like you can use it for traveling as well as soldiers.

Do you think you can make it?

"Hmm... I think it's difficult with the technology of a blacksmith in Elvis territory today.

That's what I'm going to do to the Katlanda Empire... but I think it's possible to manufacture it if you can improve the device that made that bullet and build a machine that can seal the lid.

"Is it the Katlanda Empire... you look for canned machines as well as small guns.

"The basics are one.

Looking for someone who has built that little gun will lead to future industry.

"Mmm... I hope it goes well..."

Alice starts bothering herself with her arms. Takeo looked at Alice like that.

------------------------

"And I got a report.

So as it stands, we're investigating an explosion, a flame.

But tomorrow... today and all day, the royal family will act as usual.

It would give people peace of mind by acting that way.

King Azpar finishes his explanation with the royal family in the hall.

"Yesterday, by order of your father-in-law, two houses were expelled from the King's capital, right?

So three houses today... what the hell is going on?

Lorna asks a question.

"I don't know.

But you deserve the first two houses.

Besides, the cause of the explosion won't be known any time soon.

Now all we have to do is pray that the three of us are safe.

"That's right...

What would you do if it weren't for you?

"... if you can't find it by noon, you'll have to strip three titles and make a new noble selection.

For once, I work for 25 houses in Wangdu... but I have a problem with Takeo.

Twenty-four families want to work for the King's Capital for only one year.

"On Mr. Takeo's case?

Layla listens back.

"Well, to put it simply, everyone has agreed that compensation for Takeo will be paid for one house per year.

Everyone calms back to King Azpar's words.

"It's too broken.

The compensation for the others was 100 pieces of gold, 300 pieces for Mr. Takeo?

Selina asks.

"It's a combination of an apology from the royal family in a joke routine to Takeo and an indication that we will try not to be hostile from the Wang Du side.

And Celina, don't get me wrong, okay?

Those two are special.

Alice and Takeo, in case two people move to another country as far as our country is concerned, it becomes a big problem.

Try to show that knowledge in that country... and be prepared for the fall of the kingdom, not the annihilation of the king's capital.

"Ah..."

Selina loses her word.

"The only salvation is for those two to think about what to do with the development of Elvis territory.

Neither Alice nor Takeo have any ideas about wanting territory.

I'm not even willing to turn into a countess and become a territorial nobleman.

I'm not even willing to run the kingdom.

It's just a guide to the future of my brother Smith, who belongs to the Count family.

And it puts a lot of thought into it if the inhabitants make me smile.

It's a positive attack, too.

It is at the foundation of the institute that part of the idea is also taught to our king capital.

It is not for the sake of the kingdom, but rather to use one end of the research carried out by Takeo on Elvis territory to improve the technical capabilities of the country.

So the state intervention is thin when it comes to Takeo and Alice. It would be taken as sweet from the others.

However, the human and economic losses incurred in turning two enemies are tens of times higher than the amount spent now.

I don't mean to spoil those two.

We have to have a reciprocal relationship with the royal family and the Takeos.

It is a reciprocal relationship between the Royal Family, which brings research funding, and Takeo, which brings knowledge of armaments and the economy within the Territory.

And this is the treatment of the Elvis realm in the hope that it will develop and that its benefits will spill over into the Count and William and the king's capital facing the demonic kingdom.

Everyone is calmed by the words of King Azpar.

"Cliff."

"Ha!"

"That being said, it is the story of your Lord's time to successfully use the knowledge from Takeo to develop your country.

You won't be able to do it all over the kingdom first, but I don't mind slowly. Create a strong nation.

"Ha!"

"William."

"Ha!"

"Build a good relationship with Takeo and the surrounding Counts and use your Takeo knowledge well to suggest and show against Cliff.

It will be a criterion for determining whether things made in your Lord's place can be made in the country.

"Ha!"

"Neil."

"Ha!"

"Takeo's knowledge won't come in any time soon.

William will take the lead and start something new, but I need you to support him.

If William and the others use new technology, Neil and the others aim to apply existing technology.

It's two areas around the corner. You should make good and bad decisions in a completely different way.

"Ha!"

3 The prince gives thanks.

"And well, here's the thing, but later a talk to Count Elvis.

Cliff, do you think you can write that?

"I think we can do the draft even at noon today.

"Um, shall we see it before the meeting?

"Ha!"

"Well, that's it for everyone to report.

I need you to go back to your room and get some sleep.

"Yes."

We heard from Cliff. Everyone left the hall behind.
