Chapter 322
The Port of Simmons [Part 1]
-The Kingdom’s biggest port, the Port of Simmons-
A trading ship from Imperial Japan docked at the port, and its passengers were unloading the cargos with the help of the Rothschild Company personnel.
“Imperial Prince Tasuku, it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other.”
Joshua ran up to Imperial Prince Tasuku after he got off the ship.
“Long time no see, Joshua. I just looked at the list of aid you provided for Imperial Japan earlier. My sincerest gratitude for the new rations. You even gave us silk.”
Even though Over had been defeated, it didn’t mean the whole thing was settled. Producing crops on dilapidated fields right away was also difficult. The Stuart family, who owned a territory in the borderland, understood that matter well. So, they provided food aid to Imperial Japan periodically through the Rothschild Company.
The Kingdom and Imperial Japan sent out ships for each other, and exchanges between countries were underway.
“No need to be courteous. Because I am also asking you to spare us valuable things that cannot be bought with gold coins.”
Most of the cargo from the Imperial Japan side were magic stones.
Magic stones were valuable stones that could store or amplify a magician’s magic. Imperial Japan still hadn’t run out of this resource and could still mine magic stones in large quantities. Without these stones, barriers couldn’t be maintained.
“This, bell cricket. Wings, make beautiful fluttering sound. Imperial Japanese insect.”
“At first I thought, ‘an insect? to a young lady?’ when I saw this, but this is the insect Miguel has raised with great care. I would like to give this to Lady Emma. Directly.”
“...directly?”
.
Imperial Prince Tasuku’s face turned somewhat red.
“Yes, directly...”
“(ugh!) Unfortunately, Emma-sama is not in the Royal Capital. She is participating in the academy’s extracurricular lesson and currently staying in a territory that takes a day for a round trip.”
Joshua replied quickly, almost rapping, thinking he must never let Imperial Prince Tasuku and Miguel meet Emma.
‘When...?
When did Emma-sama get familiar with and bind Imperial Prince Tasuku?
Even Imperial Prince Tasuku’s behavior is strange, not just Miguel’s,’ muttered Joshua in his heart.
“Extracurricular lesson? Is that... so?”
Imperial Prince Tasuku stared intensely at the empty space behind Joshua. Joshua answered so quickly that they couldn’t meet her. No, if Joshua could, he actually even wanted to say he wouldn’t let them meet.
