389 Episode 381: Day 31 Criteria for Backwashing and Pulling Out on Crossing Borders. Circular from the demon kingdom.

"Is there a problem?

Takeo tells the soldier face to face.

"No... there's nothing wrong with Lord Kitamizato... but I've never seen a fairy before.

An excuse is being made while the soldier responding is sweating cold.

"I'm not going to your country's capital.

As I explained earlier, I would like to go and ask for new swords and protective equipment for my grandfather.

Permission has also been granted to Count Elvis, lord of the Kingdom of Azpur.

"Yes, that is confirmed by a cross-border permit.

But fairies are the only things in books in this country that have never been real before.

"Is that because your country is far from the demonic kingdom?

Or does your country's law not allow fairies to enter the country?

"No, there is no such provision in the laws of the Katlanda Empire.

In addition, there is no limit to the number of people crossing the border, provided that the Convention between our country and your country has the highest permit for crossing the border with Lord Kitamizato.

"Wouldn't that be good?

I've admired my family for a long time. I can't leave Mia, a member of our family.

"But... is that okay?

"Once again, we are being implemented in the King's capital of the Kingdom of Azpur asking for the discernment of the royal family.

There was a similar Q&A at that time, but the result was assumed to be no problem.

"Really... okay.

Entry will be granted.

The soldier nods troubled.

"Yes, thank you.

With that said... I'd like to ask you one thing.

"Yes, what is it..."

"If you asked for a new sword or protective equipment this time, it is possible that you will have to leave your country's craftsmen.

Will the procedure be necessary at that time?

"No, Lord Kitamizato's crossing permit will be a higher crossing permit for individuals, unlike the lower crossing permit for the merchants.

It is possible for artisans to cross the border if someone has a superior crossing permit placed in a treaty between our country and your country.

However, please note that there is a period of one month for artisans to cross the border.

The soldier responds to Takeo with a subtle expression.

"Okay.

Let's pretend Takeo feels a little uncomfortable with the look on his face but doesn't care about the wind.

"Yes, then come through.

Takeo and the others dived in Sekikan.

"... you passed safely.

Meyer talks to Takeo after going quite far through Sekikan.

"Yeah. Mia, balls.

For once, I'm sorry, but you can't leave me, can you?

Tell me first when you're hungry.

"Yes, Lord.

"Nha."

And the little ones reply.

"... wait a minute.

Now Lord Tama answered without Lord Mia's interpreter...

Could Lord Tama understand the human language?

"... indeed.

Mia, can you confirm that?

"... yes.

Ni? "

"Nha!"

"I hope you said that soon.

Lord, they say that both that Lord and his balls understand the human language.

"Really?

Tama, keep it up.

"Nha."

My balls snorted.

"Well, Mr. Meyer.

"Yes, what is it?

"No... they said you could cross the border for a month, right?

I've never heard of it before.

"Oh... that's...

From a soldier's point of view, it's pretty grey.

"Hmm? What's going on?

"The treaty between the Katlanda Empire and the Kingdom of Azpur states that those who cross the border must return to their country within a month.

"Yes."

"Exceptions are made, however, to those who have lost their lives.

"Naturally... when you die, go home... oh... I see.

Is that why you make me change my name?

"Yes. This is used by non-aristocratic cross-border... immigrants and other means.

"Do you mean that both good people want to get it?

"Yeah. So they give up at each gate when non-aristocrats cross the border.

"I see."

Takeo nods.

"What are you doing about it?

"... especially those who are good should be aristocrats and knights or working for Wang Du.

Otherwise we should be dealing with it with salaries and entitlements.

"Were you inseparable about nobility and knighthood?

"Yes.

If nobles or knights cross the border without permission or if they are discovered to have crossed the border for more than a month, they will be handed over upon request from the other side.

"I see.

If you want this one to cross the border, you need to see if it's noble.

"Yes. You can't just end up reporting death like the others when you're noble.

The other country's investigation will come in.

It's also unlimited, close investigation, and as a nation, it's difficult to pull out nobles and look into weird places.

They may also see confidentiality, so it's a decision not to pull out nobles.

"Do countries keep a list of those who are aristocratic?

"Yes, we have a list of nobles together with four countries: the Kingdom of Azpur, the United Wilip, the Katlanda Empire and the Demonic Kingdom.

It is also decided to notify countries immediately if the title is awarded and stripped.

"I see.

On the contrary, can I take it that those who are not on that list don't mind pulling out?

"Yeah, I don't mind.

But I don't think it's a very good idea because pulling out a noble family can sometimes be a war for that reason.

"You do have the potential to start like that.

"Yes, so when you pull it out, I suggest you find out if it's noble or if it's a noble family member before you pull it out.

Be careful, especially this time Sir Kitamizato will go for a pull-out.

"Okay, I'll put it in the corner of my head.

Takeo snorted.

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

Grandpa Elvis was in his own study with Frederick.

I put the finished letter on my desk and I'm working on it.

"Huh..."

What do you care? I leak a sigh.

"... because something happened?

"Um, it's an official notice from the Demon Kingdoms...

"The title stripping of the Count Fallon family and the creation of the Viscount Fallon family".

"You have corroborated the report from the merchant over there.

You should see it as letting your fellow countrymen inherit.

"Um, it was surprisingly quick.

But... the Count is gone. "

"I don't suppose I've ever seen you before?

Frederick asks.

"I don't.

It's bad for Fred, but I'm not sure Count Fallon and I were very motivated against each other.

The cargo inspection of the merchants at Seki was not strict either.

"I knew the luggage inspection on Elvis territory and the other side of the line would be loose... you know that much?

"Because we've been neighbors for years. You're supposed to be a lot older than me.

Well, it's because he's definitely an animal man, and he has a pretty long life span.

I may have held the throne before I was born.

"Really?

"Um, I wanted to have some tea for once.

Grandpa Elvis groans lonely.

"What shall we do with the report to Wang Du?

"I was wondering if you would send both this letter and a report from an earlier merchant to His Majesty and Alice.

Send Fred and Robert the contents of the letter.

"I'm in awe.

I will send a transmission as soon as possible.

"Uhm."

Frederick left when Grandpa Elvis nodded.

One of them, Grandpa Elvis, sighed again looking out the window.
