Chapter 68 War Economy 2

Uwa a ~a~a, I did it again! ~!

I clung to Earl and cried!~ 　

And kept crying and crying!~

I’m so embarrassed that I cannot show my face anymore!

As soon as I cease my burden, I should think of another excuse .

Certainly, I have used the term [life force reduction] until now, but I didn’t said [life span will get short] not even once . Then, [Reducing life force doesn’t mean that the lifespan will decrease, it’s a completely different thing . ] or [Because I belong to a clan that lives longer, it doesn’t really affect my lifespan even if somewhat reduced . ] something like that… . .

No, in that case, I have a feeling that another problem will arise . . It will be troublesome to be pursued on order to reveal the secret of youth and longevity, or spread rumors that if you drink my blood, you will be rejuvenated .

It’s even more troublesome if they forced me to use the teleportation whether I like it or not .

Well, I wonder what the Earl said about the power in growth . In any case, if I don’t grow any more, they will find me out . My growth period ended at the age of 17, I think… .

The thing is that I really am 18 years old…

… No, it’s not good that my age is the only thing that’s grown, it feels sad . I’ll just keep it to myself… . .

=========================

The Earl departs, he is heading to Alexis’ territory .

I wonder if he wants Alexis to also bite onto the Navy planning .

Well, because it was a Viscount territory from the start, the number of inhabitants was greater, unlike our place which used to be a Baron territory . If you pass through my territory, it isn’t far from the Earl Bozes territory, so it’s a good source of migrant workers, and it also faces the sea, that’s why it is convenient to get him involved later .

Although I feel that there are complaints coming from somewhere when I excessively pick my friends place, but there is nothing I can do for the territory that doesn’t face the sea, and since the seaside was far away from the kingdom which could be called a countryside, it can’t be helped because I didn’t even look at it .

The other aristocrats in the vicinity was taking care all of their own problems, but since the Earl Bozes which was the only higher aristocracy near the sea, the aristocracy in the vicinity would not rise against the Earl, and the surrounding territories was hoping to have a slice of the Naval Economy .

[War is the beginning of the economy . ] -Mitsuha

……Just keep a distance away from the fuss, deterioration of security, environmental destruction and just take a little bit of a delicious place .

The ones who are able to live well in that place were only me and my citizens . It’s a shame to ask for more than that and to invite the seeds of unhappiness . (それ以上を求めて、却って不幸の種を招き寄せるのは御免だよ。)

Hey, I’m not establishing a new religion, you know .

[He who believes in him shall be saved . ……… Follow his steps] (TN: Parts of {John 3:15} and {Peter 2:21} maybe)

I said, it’s a bit different .

========================

According to Sabine-chan’s information, the Kingdom seems to be in a big fuss .

It’s no longer necessary to conceal the imminent crisis from the citizens, that’s why it’s crucial to allocate the budget and personnel for the creation of the naval forces from now on and it is necessary to make every effort to publicize, in order to prepare the citizens with the existence of a great enemy .

For the judgment of the truth, public disclosure will be a natural course .

The problem is that there is a rumor that the [Princess Shrine Maiden of Thunder annihilated the enemy’s large fleet and captured the enemy’s three Super-Mega Battleships intact . ]

Say, what in the world is a [Super-Mega Battleship]?

Ah . . Emperor Gatlantis!

=============================

And the children of the orphanage are selling suspicious things at a high price .

[The Princess Shrine Maiden-sama’s doll, filled with the Princess Shrine Maiden-sama’s hair] they said…… .

Before this, when I went secretly to replenish the corn and paper bag, I was asked, [Can I make a wooden doll of the Princess Shrine Maiden-sama and sell it?], so I gave them my permission . And then, {Princess Shrine Maiden-sama, your hair has grown a bit longer, please let me cut it for you!] I was very impressed with the quality of the service .

Aah, those guys, a ~a~a ~ ~ ~! (A, aitsu-ra a ~a~a ~~~!)

You really did it, a~a! !

Everyone decided to believe that, they are selling at stalls that are directly owned by the Princess Shrine Maiden . In fact, it’s not a lie .

Damn it, I am completely losing in terms of business talent!

When this happens, my doll in our territory, no, this aims to make our place known as an innovative place and make a figure, or a painted one .

And then, tapestry, hugging…

I don’t want it ~a ~a~a ~~! ! (iyada a ~a~a ~~! !)

Ha~a ha~a ha~a……

All right, let’s just forget about it .

So, anyway, it seems like a Princess Shrine Maiden fever again .

It seems to be troublesome to return to the Capital……

=============================

Pez: 「Mitsuha-sama, please sell me an item, anything at all!」

Mitsuha: 「U wa~a, who are you again, Pez-san that’s not like you . 」

Pez: 「Anything, whatever it is! Either stone or a piece of wood! right now, the product of Yamano territory, no matter how clod it is, it still very valuable!」

Mitsuha: 「I don’t want that kind of business! Go back to your sanity, Pez-san!!」

And suddenly, Pez-san was staring at my hair .

Yo-You, did you know about that thing…, about that wooden doll!

…Give me a break, mo ~u .

According to Pez-san’s story the Kingdom have gathered woodworkers, blacksmiths, metalworkers, etc . , and it seems to have departed towards the Bozes territory . The ships are still offshore, but we prepared their temporary place of stay in the Bozes territory . I’m sorry that we cannot afford to do that……

At the very least, I’ll build a floating pier to make it easier for you to survey . A dock where a ship can be brought to the Bozes territory will be made and it seems that it won’t be long before you learn a skill, just to go around with a ship there . We need to increase the production of fast-growing crops .

Ah, should we tow it with a fishing boat? Then, wait for the completion of the port .

… Can you even pull it? Bring out all of ours and the Bozes’ fishing boats .

It seems that Pez-san have overtaken those other groups on the way, because he wants to set an example by doing direct express delivery .

Of course, not all of them will live in the Bozes territory, but some of them will go back to Kingdom’s capital and continue their research, while others will stay and continue to analyze the ship’s technology . It seems that the construction of the ship is still far away .

That much is expected . .

Not only wood as a ship material, there are also various problems such as technology for waterproofing, technology for making curved part, technology for keeping strength, among other things .

No matter how many blueprints and models I prepare, how can I start making them in production?

In the first place, before the ship, you have to build a shipyard .

When I think about it, I wonder if it’s really impossible to suddenly build a large ship .

Faithful reproduction of the Captured Ship…… But then it cannot compete with the new ship over there .

I will throw away the size and make a new ship, a speed-oriented ship . By making the artillery long-range, it can attack from a distance out of the enemy’s attack range and thus making it easier to escape .

If it is small and fast, it will be difficult to get hit by the enemy bullets, and with it’s out-of-range tactics it will somehow do well . If the enemy is big and slow .

The 3 warships? No, no, that’s a failure .

Don’t force a big gun on a small ship, build a small, long-range gun . To do that, I need a rifle that shoots the vertebrae a of real gunshot, but I wonder if I can make it, with the current technology here… .

If it’s useless, think about another way, or ask for help from the guys back on Earth… I don’t feel good about it though… .

Speaking of which, I wonder if China has not used the rocket fireworks back in ancient times .

(Are~?) you can roast the sail with that… . . Say, doesn’t it fly for more than 2 kilometers away?

A weapon-like-wheel that moves forward while rotating the water with the thrust of rocket fireworks …It kinda resemble Panjandrum .

It feels like I’m headed for my own ship, (botsu) . (orz sfx)

The construction of the ship, in addition to the wooden ship, and my knowledge about ships, high-tensile steel or block construction method is…

Not good isn’t it . . Well~ … .

If the seams of the wood and the waterproof treatment are sweet but the water leakage is severe, will you still install a foot-wheel on the bottom of the ship to pump out bilge water at all times…

Wait, wooden ships usually doesn’t have a water mill! Right?

Ah, the paddle-wheel boat is…… It’s totally different from a water mill!!

Ha, It looks similar? . . , I’m telling you it’s different!

No good, ideas are not coming out . I’m tired, maybe … .

Don’t rush, we still have time .

I’m sure that the experts in this world will give me a better idea . I will do as much as I can to support it .

You don’t need to carry everything… . Maybe .

========================

Tomorrow, I’ll go to the Bozes territory and talk to the prisoners .

I’m worried that they could not talk, and there will be demands as well .

Besides, she forgot to search for shipwright and others . she have to find out if there are any other technicians that might be useful . Someone who can show them on how to operate ships and guns .

Aside from that commander, the other crew were not really bad as a person . Just being part of an enemy country, the person himself is not a criminal . They’re just ordinary people who chose to be soldiers and sailors as their profession . There is no reason or need to give them pain .

Oh, was there a criminal who is on board for the amnesty?… .

Well, it’s not like he committed a crime in our country, let’s leave it at that .
