CH 13

A week-long voyage from Manchuria to return to the homeland of the Yamato Empire. 

Apparently, a continent was also found in the east during that time. It seems that the captain of the protected cruiser Chiyoda did it. 

Shortly after I returned to the Führer’s residence, I received a report from Mr. Crewcut of the Navy that a telegram had arrived with great enthusiasm. 

Well, today I have just returned from across the sea from Manchuria. So I’m tired. 

I refused to receive the report because I was tired from the long trip, so I just took the report and ran off to my bedroom. 

“Well, then, let’s sort out the current situation, shall we? Is everything all right, Eryu-san?” 

“Hmm, I’m fine.” 

A big and fluffy bed in my bedroom. While lying there, I ask Ayame-san, who is sitting by my bedside, to read the report that Mr. Crewcut gave me. 

“First of all, let’s talk about our country’s surroundings. Manchuria was the first continent to be found. It’s a continent 3,000 kilometers to the south of our country. Uninhabited, full of monsters, and in the future we plan to make it our territory.” 

“Hmm, that’s right.” 

“Next, the existence of the Western Continent was revealed. This one has not yet been visually confirmed, but its presence has been reported by the crew of the shipwreck and the saints.” 

“It is the continent where the Celestial Kingdom existed. Right now it’s ruled by a foreign race called Elves.” 

“Yes, that’s right.” 

The Elf huh…I’ve ordered an investigation, but I’m not sure what will happen now. When I hear that the other side has a large flying bird as its air force, I don’t really want to get involved, as we have no countermeasures. 

I have also ordered the development of aircraft and anti-aircraft guns as a countermeasure…Now, when will it be completed? 

Will it take a year to finish the development? 

“And the Eastern Continent, which we found the other day. Some information about this one has been compiled over the past few days… that said, Eryu-san, please don’t flap your legs. Your skirt will be flipped up, won’t it?” 

Huh? 

When she pointed out where my skirt was, I looked at where my skirt was and found that my skirt had flipped up due to my flapping my legs and I was wearing pure white panties… 

It’s been over a month since I’ve had this body, and I’m used to seeing it. And the girls’ underwear. 

But, well, even though I’m used to seeing them, I’m embarrassed to have my underwear on full display, so I rush to put my skirt back on. 

I mean, how long have you been staring at my panties, Ayame-san? 

“…Pervy” 

“It’s only panties. Didn’t we sleep together and bathe together every day.” 

“That’s true, but…” 

Mmm… 

When I was sleeping, she would sneak into my bed without permission, and when I was taking a bath, she would enter without permission. Sure, I live that way with Ayame-san every day, but… 

“*ahem*, I’ll keep talking, then. There are several nations on the eastern continent. One of them thankfully is a human nation.” 

……A human nation? That’s interesting. 

I scoot over and move to Ayame-san’s side. Then I sit down at the bedside. 

“Hohou, and then what?” 

“The country is called ‘Balka Kingdom’…It seems that the country has been attacked by barbarians again, and now it’s impossible for them to export food.” 

“I see, so we need to defeat these barbarians. Let’s leave aside for the moment what steps we’ll take.” 

“I suppose so.”

Hmmm… Oh, is it also accompanied by a simple map of the Eastern Continent? let me have a look. 

The shape of the East Continent is… only some areas close to our country are known so far, but it seems to be vertically long. As for the general shape, it feels like a massive Great Britain Island. 

And the noteworthy point is the two peninsulas that protrude towards the west. 

If I had to compare the location of these two peninsulas with the Island of Great Britain, it would be like the ‘elongated Wales region’ and the ‘Cornwall peninsula’. 

The two peninsulas extend sideways and look like the horns of a stag beetle. 

“Is this peninsula to the north the Balka Peninsula?” 

“Yes, the peninsula where the Balka Kingdom is located.” 

“A human nation exists on this peninsula. Then, what about the south?” 

“That’s the Beastvania Peninsula. There is a beastkin nation called Beastvania Beastkin Nation.” 

“The Beastkin?”　

We’ve got another strange race. Even though Elves alone are enough for such an unknown race. 

“The captain of the cruiser Chiyoda, which is currently investigating, said, ‘What the hell is this? Isn’t it a bipedal furry beast?’ we seem to understand the language at least…” 

“Do we have to have a conversation?” 

“Yes, they say that we beastkin are a superior race, possessing the characteristics of both beast and man and that we don’t have the tongue to speak with vile humans.” 

“Oh my…” 

Somehow, a dangerous-looking race has appeared again. 

The Elves are reported by the victims and it is not confirmed whether they are really barbaric or not, but the beastkin are reported by our military officers who are supposed to have an impartial eye, so it is no good anymore. 

“Do you think we could negotiate?” 

“Isn’t that impossible? I heard that they loudly insist that ‘humans should be slaves to the beastkin’.” 

“Hieek…” 

So scary. Aren’t the otherworldly people too barbaric? 

For now, I’ll have the ‘talk’ about beastkin for later… what about the rest of the country? 

“Well, it seems that there is a nomadic nation in the central part of the continent called the ‘Great Moruro Empire’.” 

“Heh, a nomad, huh? It does sound peaceful… Is it a human country?” 

“That’s what I’m supposed to say…” 

Ayame-san seems to have something bad to say. 

“You know how nomads usually ride horses, right? that said, according to documents, the Moruro Empire has a giant monitor lizard about 10 meters in size that can be ridden by a person instead of a horse.”

“Just like?” 

“They catch people from the surrounding countries and use them as food for the lizards.” 

“Aren’t they barbarians!?” 

So, these are the barbarians that the Balka Kingdom is in trouble with!? they are the dangerous guy who rides a huge monitor lizard and attacks neighboring countries.

“By the way, it seems that the Balka Kingdom is the only surviving human nation around the Moruro Empire. The rest of the… people were not all eaten, apparently, but they are not in a position to build a nation.” 

“That’s horrible, I’m amazed that the Balka Kingdom has survived.” 

This world is currently at the level of the medieval magical civilization, and if they were attacked by a swarm of giant monitor lizards, they would likely be crushed by them in an instant.

Do they manage to fight with magic? 

“Ah, if that’s the case, it seems that the Balka Kingdom is a Spartan Nation where only Macho can survive.” 

Macho? In other words, they don’t use magic… 

“Are you saying they’re using their muscles to fight these monsters?” 

“Yeah, that’s what I’m going to say. They say, ‘Magic betrays you, but Muscle never betrays you.’ Apparently, they carry a battering ram and charge at the giant monitor lizards on a daily basis. They say it’s more effective than a bad offensive spell?” 

Hmm…

Yes, that is true. In order to compete with crazy neighbors, you have to be crazy yourself. 

Not sure why they ended up specializing in muscles, though. 

“And finally…” 

“It’s a country located in the south of the continent, at the base of the Beastvania Peninsula. The Dark Elf Empire.” 

“Ah, based on the name, is it an Elf Nation?” 

“It’s close. They say it’s the Country of the Dark Elves. Incidentally, this one seems to be even more exclusive than the beastkin.” 

Are you saying that they’re even more exclusive than a creature that suddenly declares that you should be a slave? 

I mean, right? 

“Of the nations we discovered, Balka Kingdom, Beastvania, Great Moruro Empire, and the Dark Elven Empire, is the Balka Kingdom the only one that we can discuss with properly?” 

“Well, I wonder, the Balka Kingdom is also a muscle brain so it’s questionable whether they are decent or not.” 

Eeeh… what should we do about it, this world? It’s over. 

Well, I still want to avoid unnecessary conflict, I suppose? In the meantime, I will send ambassadors to all countries to establish diplomatic relations… 

……Ah, speaking of ambassadors. 

Will that Saint and the others be all right? I told them to prepare a government in exile and left the rest to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Rough Supplementary Explanation “Tribes of Another World” Edition.

Elf

As its name suggests, this species has long ears. However, they do not have a long life span, beautiful features, or an order of magnitude better magic. 

Research on magic is advanced because the percentage of people who can use magic is higher than humans. Recently, they have been obsessed with controlling monsters. 

They are mainly found in the western continent. 

Dark Elf

The Elf that inhabits the eastern continent. The skin color is black. Compared to the elves of the western continent, they are inferior in magical skills and cannot manipulate monsters. 

Just like the normal Elf, they have an extremely high sense of the chosen people. 

Beastkin

A bipedal beast. They have no magical powers and cannot use magic. Just because you’re a Beastkin doesn’t mean you have a high physical ability. 

Just like Elf, they have a sense of the chosen one. 

Humans　

A normal human being. Like on Earth, races and ethnic groups exist properly. Like the Balkans for the Balka Kingdom and Moruros for the people of the Moruro Empire.
