271 Interaction with the Reincarnated Duke.

Osten Kingdom?

In one of the rooms of the medical facility.

Mr. Volff, who stopped winding up the material, turned my words back.

Because it's an unfamiliar country, it looks strange.

"Yes, an island country to the east of the continent."

I've never heard of it.

"Until recently, there was no national exchange." Clothes, food and shelter are all countries that have built their own culture. It seems that many merchants are paying attention because of the dexterity of their hands and the quality of their crafts. It was rumored to be an exclusive nation, but in fact, it has a high level of knowledge, curiosity, and culture. ”

"Marie, you know so much." You're doing a good job, Lord. "

Looking at me happily, Volff says he was impressed.

Being praised, I was stuck in words before I was happy.

Because the knowledge you showed is not what you learned as a lord.

Julius, a familiar merchant and friend, taught me. Moreover, it is not the collection of information about the neighboring countries by themselves as lords, but for very personal reasons.

"Why are you looking so weird?" You're praising me, aren't you? "

"...... Actually, this country is a rice-producing area, right?"

Answer honestly, albeit painstakingly.

Julius had given me rice flour before.

At that time, it was a coincidence, but he properly checked the destination and established a trading route. And the rice itself, not the rice flour.

And the country where the rice food culture is located is the "Osten Kingdom".

In other words, my curious appetite and the occasional desire to cook.

It may be knowledge gained through high hobbies.

“Ah, you're a different color when it comes to cooking and ingredients.”

It seems to have come to light only with a wardrobe called "The place where the rice is grown".

I turned my eyes to the warm, dazzling mixture and inadvertently turned my gaze away.

I mean, if there's a rice culture, maybe there's something else. Miso, soy sauce, sake.

When I actually looked into it, I found that there were many things in common with Japan. Well, I'm curious. I'll look into everything.

"Stop your hobbies to the extent that your husband can't be overwhelmed."

It's a piercing word in my chest.

It is out of the question to get involved in work, so of course it is only free time to read a book. But even though Leonhardt is in the same room, I think I can read.

At that time, Leonhardt usually reads too, and I've never seen a face that seems particularly dissatisfied...

Since Leonhardt is an adult, he may just be paying attention to me.

What if one day the accumulated dissatisfaction suddenly explodes...

No, it's not too late if you're angry. We have a chance to improve. But if they cut me out, I'm dead. I die of a physical heart attack, not a mental problem.

I'll tell you all about my free time so you don't have to.

I want to do not only what I like, but also what Leonhard likes.

With that, I nodded with a strange face.

Then, with a half laugh, Volff muttered, "Well, you don't need to worry."

“No, it's very useful advice. It's not just about my hobbies, it's also about knowing their hobbies.”

"My husband's hobby is you."

“How's it going?

"No matter what you do, I'm telling you that I was super worried about a man with a face like 'cute and irresistible'." Whether you're snoring and sleeping, or stretching with a stupid face, you might say you're cute. "

"No, don't snore!"

You're not crazy, are you?

Volff sighed as he looked at me the day after tomorrow, beginning to worry about what to do if he just didn't realize it.

"That's not what I want you to pay attention to, is it?"... you guys, you really look great. "

In many ways, I was a little curious, but I am honestly happy to be told that it suits me.

Volff glanced at me with a sad glance.

Well, that's fine. We're talking about an inspection.

"That's right."

It was quite derailed, but I came to talk about it.

It is only a year and a half since the medical facilities were completed and started operating.

Most of the facilities are still being explored, and it's a trial period. The only thing that's working properly is a treatment facility that's dominated by the Kuas.

However, even if the facility is not shaped like this, the attention of the surrounding countries is very high.

Since it started operating, I have been asked to inspect it. Even if you say no because it is still in the test phase, there are many patterns that come down.

Show only the treatment facility and only a small number of people. Moreover, it does not fall back on the condition that it will never interfere with the work of employees.

I don't know how many times I've had no choice but to accept it. This time, the distant island nation, the Osten Kingdom, offered to inspect it.

"I'm not new to the inspection itself, so I don't mind..." Also, there's no such thing as a mixed idiot, right? "

"That was special again..."

Basically, it feels like there will be a small number of escorts to the party of medical personnel, scholars, researchers, and great people involved in politics, but there was a time when there was a mix of high-ranking aristocrats who had no medical knowledge or interest.

Were you not satisfied with your money and your position alone, but were you trying to earn your honor? The person who had wielded power and entered the inspection team did not understand his position at all.

I ignored my offer and moved on my own. I go to a place where I don't want to go, and I do what I say I don't want to do.

Speak abusively to hospital personnel and patients and behave arrogantly.

It was the Lord's authority to make a quick move and banned me.

He had a bright red face like a boiled octopus, and he was shouting "I am the duke" or "This is an international issue", but I don't know.

I'm a duke, too. If that's what you're up to, I'll try my best to intercept you. Both power and connectivity are used by people.

"This is definitely an international issue, isn't it?" When I smiled, the other party's complexion changed.

The duke looked so angry that he could not speak, but the other humans were fading and trembling. It's clear which one is responsible, regardless of the question.

I apologized with a momentum that seemed to be flattening, and forced the duke who was still making noise into the carriage.

A formal apology was received from the country a few days later.

The Duke has taken responsibility for the confiscation of part of his territory.

"Well, that kind of idiot is everywhere, so it might have been good sooner." It was a good example for other countries. Besides, I think we all know that you'll do your best to protect me if anything happens. "

Volff's eyes twinkled as he began to work more vigorously than ever before, doing all the good he could.

I'm sure the distance has narrowed since then.

All of the Kuas are cheerful, but there was a wall between them and the new people who started working at the hospital.

It's amazing that I'm the only one with a title.

No matter how much the contents are just unfortunate girls, from strangers, it is hard to get close to the "former princess and current duchess".

Even if I'm lonely, I can't help it. I was going to take my time and try to get you to trust me, but this commotion.

I turned evil into good fortune. I think it's the only thing the tyrannical duke left.

Now, when I'm busy, I can't say anything even if I'm sneaking around to help. It's probably rumored to be a strange lord because it's seen with warm eyes.

"I'm sorry to have to deal with a fool again." I hope the people in the Osten Kingdom are decent. "

"I hear that there are many polite people in the Osten Kingdom, so I think it's okay..." In fact, it seems that the Third Prince has volunteered to be on the inspection team. "

"Why did the prince go out of his way?" And the Third Prince. No way, what a nasty thing to say when you're warming up with your achievements, right? "

Rather than frowning, Mr. Volff jumped up one eyebrow.

No, that doesn't seem to be the case.

It seems that the royalty of Osten is blessed with heirlooms from generation to generation.

His Majesty the King now has four princes and two princesses.

However, it seems that there is no problem of bone and flesh fighting over the right to inherit the throne, which Volff is concerned about.

His Highness the Crown Prince and his second prince were still close. The Third Prince and Fourth Prince were supposed to descend with adults.

After explaining that, Volff nodded, "I see."

I wonder if you're going to deepen your insights for the future after independence.

Probably.

Then I'm sure you won't be a bad imitator.

"I hope so, but if you're as rough as the duke, I'll take care of it."

"Oh, I'm trustworthy."

Mr. Volff laughed and said, "Okay."

“I'll leave it to you, and if it's not a busy time, I'll let Lily or Rolfe show you around.”

Thank you very much.

Anyway, Lily was surprised when she first heard that Rolf was the guide.

Moreover, the reputation is good because I do not slap people in vain, but I carefully explain the information that the other person will want to know.

Rolfe, like that fucking kid from the championship. That Rolfe who was babbling at me like he was breathing. I was strangely impressed that people were different.

No, it's as good as ever for me.

Instead of "changed", it is probably correct to "look at the other person and use them separately".

As Volff said, is it true that you're spoiled?

Well, I didn't mind Rolf saying it was no damage. I also think that the stubborn attitude is an advance practice for raising children during the rebellious period.

I won't tell you because I would be angry if I asked.
