235 The Mage's Play Part III

- Irfena · In a room (Erschon perspective)

Exhale lightly in front of the report received from the Marquis of Leckbari. After all, Marquis Leckbari's predictions were met.

It begins with Mizki being dropped on the site of a mining site underground, culminating in Princess Tircia's confession that it was the mastermind of the kidnapping.

Of course, it was also detailed about the kidnapping.

That was a hand by Princess Tircia, apparently, to hunt down the handkerchief and his parents' house. Above all, it was to cause the affected country to interfere in Sarovara.

And... the reason for the election of the affected country was not 'to fall' either, but 'because I was sure I would get to the truth'. The point is, they were chosen because they valued it highly.

"Hmm, did you use a country belonging to the south to rebuild the country? Sure, that fox would do it."

"Princess Tircia strikes a sharp hand for not coming out on the surface. But I didn't know you were even thinking about self-sacrificing..."

King Quivera and the Chancellor of Carlossa give their thoughts orally. What was on that face was an emotion that was both emotional and frightening.

Honestly, for us Princess Tircia is on alert. The reason is as the two of us put it. "Modest, but excellent princess" is a little too precise.

At least, I'm not a big princess. From time to time, it was felt that reality was far more visible than that of King Sarovara.

"Mizuki is safe and above all. But he still doesn't know where he was working on the plan. I didn't know you were even taking the King's word for it..."

"Ha... really, you can't read her thought circuit...!

Even as Lord Glenn relieves himself, he shakes his head loosely with a subtle expression. Carlossa's Chancellor has a tired look, only a dry laugh.

Even King Kivela kept silent on this. No, he was also damaged by Mizuki once, so I guess there's a strange certainty, 'If he is, he could do it'.

Yes, something everyone was taken aback about this one. That is naturally also written in a report from the Marquis of Leckbari, which, in its present form, has brought disaster to Sarovara.

Needless to say, it is Mizuki.

Originally, the Magic Instructor, who shouldn't be able to do unsolicited imitations or anything in other countries... under "King Sarovara Approved," he's happily interested in retaliation.

In the background that made it possible were the words and deeds of Sarovara, who had belittled Mizki. They take what they've done to Mizuki backwards, and they can't even argue with it.

Of course, this is retaliation allowed only to Mizuki individuals. In view of the fact that we will move later, we must fit into the category of 'individuals' only. Mizuki would understand that, too.

But there's a rare ton of demo daughters. "Personal Retaliation" was jumping diagonally over King Sarovara's expectations.

Mizuki, who nevertheless took it to a situation where he could not complain, is absolutely unusual.

The most incomprehensible is undoubtedly the idea. It's Mizuki's thought circuit that came up with the way to go...!

Why did you take King Sarovara's word around the ready? At that point, the purpose of the mastermind should not have been known.

Besides, were you aiming to say 'personal retaliation' or something, and its scope of application is subtly misleading?

What do you mean, incite the guilt of the Knight of the Guard to make a deal and let the King talk?

Or, at the end of a single hit, what do you mean to make a deal with Princess Tircia!? It was an enemy, wasn't it?!?

Normally, it is a series of strange events. Especially since this one has an understanding of Mizuki's behavior, I don't know from what point she was after... on the contrary, I suspect Mizuki's leap.

'If that's him, I could do it. Are you sure you're the victim?

This will match our minds. In the first place, I can't imagine Mizuki growing up until the time of retaliation... Cat waiting for the prey to come closer, isn't that a mistake?

"Well, because Mizki has already settled with Princess Tircia. And say..."

Hiraki, and gaze at hand. The other three also turned their gaze to a letter from Mizuki, which was accompanied by a report with raw warm eyes…

The letter from Mizki does not say anything about previous reports. That's because it's more accurate from the Marquis Leckbari - in fact, it's easier to understand because Mizuki's words and actions are written from a third-party perspective.

Still, the contents were just disturbing. I mean, I have no words for futile wit.

"The Magical Sarovara Orthopaedic Plan…"

Yes, Mizki sent us a plan to rebuild Sarovara. What it means is, 'cooperate'. I can't even say I'm standing here asking.

I can't even tell you...... clearly, its content was too vicious. 'I'm not willing to forgive my enemies,' is the moment when I get a glimpse of the Mizuki horrors I've been talking about from day to day.

"So far, it's the first stage...... 'Assumed to be quarantined, showing off the samurai'. This is what they are designed to pull themselves into a cage. I hear the knights are going to be targeted next, but the knights are going to beat them out of the castle, just like the ladies."

"Hmm, well, you wouldn't be guilty of heavy sins about them, and that girl's playmate would be enough"

Everyone is convinced of King Kivela's words. If you become Mizuki's playmate, it must break your heart more than a bad punishment.

In the first place, if they weren't directly involved in the kidnapping, it would be difficult for us to hope for punishment. Mizuki is a civilian, so it's also impossible for the state to protest for her who felt uncomfortable... Even if it's a country you're protecting, there's nothing you can do about all the difference in status.

Only the aristocracy, which was the main one, demanded punishment by the affected country. The clan of those involved in the kidnapping, and so on, and others who tried to rebel King Sarovara and force him to leave or fall Princess Lillian.

Even this is in brackets: 'I tried to use a messenger from Ilfena'. Otherwise it is too small, or the punishment within Sarovara is at best.

And Mizki is playing with them. This must be an act of trampling when you can't expect punishment from Sarovara anymore.

King Sarovara did not seem to gain the trust of the Magic Master. Well, I have no sympathy.

"In the second stage, which takes place in the middle of the first phase, you mean our turn. We sent the merchants all over Sarovara and called this one" royalties who have endured for the people while being scorned by the nobles. Princess Tircia, who worried about the situation, prepared herself to sacrifice, asked another country to intervene 'and let it be tailored to the' tragedy of the princess who took action because of Satomi '. "

"We're not the only ones, Mizki seems to have asked Corbella and Zebrest to help as well. For both countries, Mizuki is a benefactor... especially since Mizuki is about to be killed this time. I'd be happy to work with you."

Hands on your mouth, the Chancellor's Palace looking at you as you think. If I brought additional information to supplement the words, I was surprised to see them gently open my eyes.

I guess you thought it was just a 'personal connection'. Neither Rudolph nor King Corbella are foolish enough to prioritize personal emotions. If...... it moves as a country because 'it's more profitable'.

I said 'benefactor', but that is before the battle. Well, both countries say, 'If it's for the Lord Magic Master!' So it's going to work, but it won't confuse you.

Mizuki's "Retaliation" this time, where he used his connections to the fullest. It is manipulative. This is what happens when you briefly pull out the text that was written in Mizuki's letter.

"Use the merchants to [learn more] sprinkle [what is happening in Sarovara today] throughout Sarovara. To the merchants on the side of the intervention countries [the country that was the victim of the kidnapping is sympathetic to the Sarovara royal family, especially in honor of Princess Tircia, who acted prepared to self-sacrifice], it is requested to give advance notice and spread. We will go around villages and towns in cooperation with the other merchants taking part in the operation and ask them to make their way to the King's Capital '

"At this time, the merchants keep the value of the goods down. The reason shall be [instructions of the royal family of the intervening country]. The aim is to show sympathy only and to reduce the rebellion against the countries that intervene '

"At the same time, we speak of the words and deeds of the fools who work in the castle and of the punishment of Princess Tircia [if we have all the number of pleadings, we may have to move with His Majesty] and stir up the people. The people are originally sympathetic to the princesses, so it works well enough. And [I'm going to King's Capital anyway, so if you write, I'll take it with me] and show you multiple pleadings (false), making you think there are others who think so '

… at this point, it is full of penetration. The merchants are used to spread rumors and show the will of the people to the king in the form of a plea.

That much, if that much.

'Petition (false)', what do you mean!? You're fooling the people, it is!

I can anticipate cursing evil and spreading crap rumors about countries where nobles who have been punished or fear punishment have intervened. In the sense of crushing it, I was convinced to use the merchants.

At any rate, merchants from six countries move. Mobilizing a magician to use metastatic magic would also allow for a further reduction in time. It doesn't take that long to recover the plea and disseminate the information.

The problem is after this. From here it was the main show of brainwork.

"Let the aristocrats, who have difficulty in heavy punishment for this one, choose [whether to pay compensation and not be guilty or punished with great dignity]. Of course, no amount is offered. At the stage when the pledge of consent is made, take the gold until one step before the house leans. Return a portion of this amount to the country that moved the merchant. Hand over the cheap amount to each country and turn the rest to funding the construction of facilities to train knights and samurai from the private sector '

"At the same time, through the merchants on the side of the intervention countries, we expose this matter to the merchants of Sarovara. Having told them [that they have turned the majority of the countries belonging to the south and the magicians against their enemies], they have paid compensation and taught them that there are aristocrats whose lives are painful, [are the aristocrats with deals okay?] and pretend to worry, incite anxiety '

It would mean a thorough take-up of the gold from the nobles in question. Even merchants can't wait to be seen from the country where they get the goods from which the business is based.

Especially the herb region Corbella and the dairy region Zebrast, which can never be turned against the enemy. Both large buyers are aristocrats - Corbella's herbs are not only precious and expensive, some are used for lotions, etc. - and it would not be a joke, such as its purchase being turned down.

Merchants are intelligent in information and naturally have a strong tendency to run self-preservation. Whether we cut off one or two trading partners, we choose a better path than losing everything.

And what happens to the nobles abandoned by the merchants?

"Merchants carry information, and goods. The main source of income for the aristocracy is taxes from the territory, but if there is widespread bad reputation for the people, rebellion is imperative if taxes are raised poorly. Even if you were doing something business, you wouldn't know if you could do it the same way as before, because there will be merchants and workers who are the workforce involved somewhere '

"In time, there will also be obstacles in terms of life. The kind of merchant who sells the product looks at his feet and is likely/likely to blow the price. The grievances of the nobles are solicited, and hatred of the royal family swells. We may recruit those in the same situation and plot treason."

'But nobility is [a natural position to use someone]. What can you do with no money, no weapons, no things, no people? No one will be on their side unless they are prepared to fall together. In the first place, the royal family has a demon conductor on its side, and the people are on the royal side... there will be many informants, and there will be no winning battlefield'

... Mizuki didn't have any shards from the beginning, such as his willingness to forgive the fools.

I guess there is a desire by the plea to give thanks to Princess Tircia, as well as a desire to knock the fools out of the castle. But the main fate is' The future to wait at its end '.

The Wizard, who guides people to spin stories, prepares a very noisy ending. On top of that, it calls on us to cooperate.

That criterion of judgment is really simple...... 'Expect King Sarovara or ride the magician's measures'. If you choose which one gains by the balance, no doubt Ilfena chooses the Magic Instructor.

If you plan to rebel against the royal family, you can destroy the house without question. With the people, if you know how it went before, you can feel sympathy for them.

Disconnecting the relevant aristocrats from the merchants also expects the aristocrats to act on the grievances raised.

'If punishment is difficult, you can thoroughly shred your power and create a situation where this one can be seen as just'

The point is, we're setting up a place to crush it for good reason. Plus, after making sure the royal family can win.

On top of that, the feat will belong to the Sarovara royal family. Above all, the country that intervened only turned its sympathy to the Salovara royal family and the people. 'We' haven't done anything else, and the merchants' actions are 'their own good intentions'.

If I hadn't publicly spoken with my allies, 'the otherwise inconvenient ones would have just assumed it on their own'. There is no such thing as the fact that the Royal family of Sarovara has bewitched another country.

It would also drastically diminish the likelihood that we will be turned to evil impressions from the people of Sarovara - some are expected to manipulate information as part of retaliation.

The reason the merchants sold the goods cheaply was decided to be "the royal instructions of their own country". The people believe in aristocratic information manipulation more than they are benefiting themselves. People tend to be profitable.

If the country returns to the right form, it will be much easier to engage in diplomacy with that country. No, that's not all. There is a clear interest in what can be called the reward for this one.

"Selling favors to Sarovara will make it easier to get information about the North in the future, right? Even Princess Tircia didn't know my information correctly. Definitely think there's a separation between the north and the south...... why don't we have a friendly relationship?

Mizuki's words in the letter. This was a very attractive suggestion. Mizki knows the existence of a map with no north drawn, and based on Princess Tircia's defeat this time, she probably decided so.

This place is like, 'That's right, brainwork!' And I praise you honestly. I'm not supposed to be teaching you, but that thought circuit that derives from multiple pieces of information. Regardless of the process, these points would be a threat.

Of course, Mizuki's plan is only general. This presupposes that the intervening 'country' moves. Mizuki, a civilian, doesn't have that much authority.

Therefore, we - those with the authority to move the country - are asked to become collaborators. Instead of 'inviting' me to get that understanding, I must have told you about this plan.

"That kid is really good at these things... I need you to turn your wits around a little bit to self-preservation"

I think of Mizuki in Sarovara, even as it gets complicated. Mizuki is never made aware of his surroundings that he has such measures in place and is innocently retaliating. The surrounding collaborators should also behave in the same way as Mizuki.

The men of Sarovara will surely not realize the nature of Mizki, and its wretchedness. It's only after the results have come to light.

... except, 'Who's got the extraction that far?' Only those who have doubts, though. Black cats are lost in the darkness and don't show themselves so easily.

"Those who defeated our country deserve this much! A poorly warmed hand or something would cause things to get worse and create more confusion for Sarovara. It's an insult to those who lost their daughter by exposing her to such incompetence."

King Kivera nodding happily and more satisfactorily than that. He seems really pleased with Mizuki's talent and seems willing to take this measure as well.

King Kivela is also a mighty man... because of his pride, will he rejoice in being able to cross with himself?

"Even though that kid doesn't look like that every day, you're amazed at the misery that makes him look unexpected. Not everything ends with one hand, but results at the end of an attack from various quarters. This may indeed be difficult to prevent"

With a difficult face in mind is the Chancellor's Palace. He's still not that close to Mizuki, so he seems to be keeping him alert.

Still, I don't seem dissatisfied with this proposal. It would seem a little remorseful because I can't think of any more ways to deal with it. He is also proud to be in that position with strength.

"Mizuki... you're really motivated without any help. What happened?"

It is Lord Glenn who whines like a shudder. Even he, who should be used to Mizuki, can't seem to feel any relief this time.

"Lord Glenn, do you think so?

"Yes. Daiwa, one of the fools must have insulted you or something. I also think that this time it means that those who support King Sarovara and the King... will show revenge from the Wizard. outsiders, that would also be a considerable humiliation if we could get so far to the otherworlds. I thought I'd show my will with them in the future."

Lord Glenn mentions' the possibility of silent pressure on a party of King Sarovara ', even though he says something rash and unpleasant. Everyone nods agreeably as to whether they are comfortable with it.

But I'm not that close. I'm working on it on the surface, but I'm in a mood to cramp my face.

Lord Glenn... why don't you say 'I'm the cause of this measure' or something?

It may be a hang-up, but I don't like to deal with the cause.

It's only Lord Glenn's prediction. However, it really was Mizuki who might do it for a reason. Especially because the people who accompany them do not pay tribute to their actions.

"Speaking of which, you've been called 'The Black Cat of His Highness the Demon King'. Isn't it cute to strip your fangs for your owner"

"Oh, you're aiming for the prey with the impetus to stop, aren't you?"

The subtly breathtaking King Kivela and the Chancellor seem to smile - King Kivela is a heartfelt pleasure - see here. Such a caged gaze of sympathy was directed from Lord Glenn at both of them.

……

I wonder if you'll be back on hand soon, that stupid cat. No, you can let me go out this time, right?
