At the Diplomatic Service.
"... hmm... I see.
The Director of Foreign Affairs reads the report issued by Takeo and passes it to his neighbors.
Takeo sits in front of the Director of Foreign Affairs and bows his head silently to the Director.
"Well, should I assume that Lord Kitamizato's hand did well?
"I came to report that I had entered the Willip Union yesterday, but I didn't really think I could do it.
"I guess.
Because it is a consignment shipment from the back of the house business.
Normally speaking, there is a mouth seal inside my friends.
Did he run away?
"Unless you trust the whole story, it's just 'apparently'.
"... well, Lord Kitamizato doesn't say that to his opponent.
"Yes, I'm not denying the other person's story.
Even though the person who saw it is talking, we don't know the nature or the situation.
I don't know how pressing it was, how much the Demon Kingdoms backed it up... if I don't know where it was, I don't know how pressing it really was.
The transport escort I commissioned could have been very easy.
"The King's army cleaned the perimeter?
"Standby strength, troop movement speed, organizational strength... it's more strange that you don't.
"Hmm... it's still better not to kill each other with the demon kingdom.
"Of course, if you're motivated, you can come to King's Landing alone with the Viscount Faron family.
That's another aristocrat, with 10,000 or 20,000 in the back. Your Majesty's army.
"I'm in trouble.
"Absolutely.
The opponent is absolutely powerful.
If you do, you'll definitely win.
The only reason the kingdom of Azpal remains is' because it is troublesome to take it away 'and' because there is an enemy country that will stabilize the country '.
"Hah... all you have to do is think it's more 'troublesome to take it away'.
The Director of Foreign Affairs sighs.
"Yes, I don't have to make a lot of sacrifices to get it, so it's my job to make sure you think you can connect it more economically, right?
"Lord Kitamizato, we can't have a war agreement or economic cooperation with the demon kingdom.
"Of course, that would destabilize the country.
Therefore, it is assumed that we all know that being virtual enemies of each other will be a good stimulus to organize the country.
Rather, in Japan, they say, "Down!The demon kingdom! I was more afraid of such idiots.
"Nh... the walls of King's Landing can't be used by idiots.
The Director of Foreign Affairs murmured.
"Director? I told you straight.
"If you were smart, you'd be a Vicomte or Earl by now.
"Am I secluded?
"Lord Kitamizato has been a countess for a long time.
I know it's secluded from the walls of King's Landing and the nobles on the west side, so I keep it on the throne.
"... was that so..."
Takeo is depressed by the Foreign Secretary's words.
Are you sure you want a promotion?
Aren't you happy?
"... not much.
Takeo replies with almost no expression.
"Hah... I don't suppose it's Lord Kitamizato who looks like that.
And the more you become a Count, the more noble your rewards will be.
"... will you have more time to deal with His Majesty?
"Correct!"
"I don't hate it, but... this is the title of Vicomte.
How stupid would you be to be a Count?
"Well... that's right.
It's a privileged role, though sympathetic.
Let's get to work.
"Yes... so what was it?
Ah, the story I told the carrier is an example.
"Hmm... was that the one we were talking about at the meeting?
"A young, petite woman, a freak wearing a hood who takes care of herself casually."
This... Bambino Ignoto, his real name is Guio Rizzo.
Actually? "
"Just like the Bertie family in the Willip Union, just a little bit with my spirits.
While I drank the lemon squeeze.
Everyone did their best in acting.
"Hah... this is the effect of a recovery potion that was said to go back a month ago, or two weeks this time.
"And with 'Care and Vials, Dinner and 3 Gold Coins'.
"It must be a rich man's pleasure.
Well... I'd like you to spend your money in the Willip Federation.
The Director of Foreign Affairs makes me look bad.
"I planted seeds and seedlings. Thank you for your patience.
"Yes, I've prepared you for this.
I'll make the most of it.
Hey, we're gonna have a meeting after this.
"Roger that.
"I'm bringing everyone together.
The Director of Foreign Affairs told his men that one of them had left.
"... well, shall we go home?
"You can stay like this.
The Director of Foreign Affairs says, "Join the meeting."
"No, I have to work with Gina around here.
"It's sweet for Gina.
"Kids grow with compliments and spoils, don't they?
How long does it take to beat and stretch the dough?
"Indeed.
The best thing to do is to praise and grow talent, but I'm sure I can do my best not to listen to you say that you're wrong about strength reduction.
There is also a way to beat and educate people who can be easily used to some extent, but in that case there is no growth after that, right?
Human resource development is difficult.
"That's right.
Well, it's like I'm fishing for food.
Okay, I'm going to the kitchen, so I'll take this.
"Yes, please continue to collect information on the demon kingdom.
The Director of Foreign Affairs and his men stood up to see Takeo off.
