Chapter 179
179 . Confusion 4
am I serious about the war, you ask?
No, our country and this country are already in a state of war .
And this time, separately, my own [Yamano Kingdom] (population: 1 person) also started a war .
Capture the warships, seize the resource and commodities
Yeah, it might be delicious .
I wonder if I can get aletter of marquefrom my king . Just in case
wait, please wait! (the King)
When I reached the front of the door, I heard a call from the King, breaking through the silence .
However, since hes just saying the same thing as before, I completely ignored him . The guards in charge of opening and closing the door doesnt move either, so I tried to open it myself, and
No! Im asking you to listen, not ordering you not to move! Sorry, it was bad! I take everything back! So, listen! (the King)
Im surprised!
No way would a king apologize in front of the vassal to a foreign noble, no matter how much he thinks I were a member of the royal family!
The vassals and guards are also surprised .
So he does have enough selflessness required to be a king . Is this the so-called [Im the king . Im a member of the royal family]?
Well, itll leave a bad aftertaste if I were to continue withdrawing even though he admitted his mistake . I dont want to leave the country because I had a fight with the king either . If possible, I would like to stay here as it is .
If I move my base to another country, all the personal connections and business routes I have built up to now will be coming to nought and going back to square one, and the product store well, thats a lease, so theres no problem .
Of course, I was going to withdraw all my bank account money, buy gold bullions and leave the country, or buy it later through the Rephilia trade . Well, Rephilia would have to wait until various preparations are complete before she could abscond the country
If the account were frozen, of course, I was going to get it back in gold ingots . From both the bank and the Royal Palaces treasury, including penalties .
since I wont leave a small note or a calling card with cat pattern on it, the fact that I voluntarily recovered the assets I deposited in this country wouldnt be exposed . Its going to be a fuss about a mysterious great phantom thief . (Note: the small note isKaito Kidreference, and the cat card isCats eyesreference . )
Well, it takes time, but starting over in another country is not that hard to be honest . I could even do better next time because I just have to repeat what I already did once . but what makes me reluctant to leave is
Yeah, the girl named Micheline who became my friend is only exist in this country .
Thats why, although its a bit regrettable to give up the chance to make a gross profit, its a bit like deliberately starting an avoidable war for the sake of making money, so lets yield here .
If you say so (Mitsuha)
When I turned towards the throne and said so, the King seemed relieved .
But I dont think its going to be a big problem just by putting a little girl from another country in a bad mood
Even if its become a war, they might think that my home country is a small distant country at best, so both land and sea forces would not have the power to pick a fight with this country . I mean, it seems like a great opportunity to occupy my homeland and annex it as a colony, I wonder why he became so timid
Then, lets pretend that the matter earlier has never happened Lets say that I was sleeping on the second floor of my store and I didnt go anywhere, nor did I meet anyone today . I dreamed of meeting the king of this country, and its strictly just a dream (Mitsuha)
U-umu, right, thats right! The [First meeting in reality] would be in the next time (the King)
Youre going to call me again!? If youre sleep-talking do it when youre sleeping tte, Im supposed to be inside a dream now, I guess its okay
(Note: Sleep-talking has the same kanji as talking nonsense)
We somehow managed to avoid a catastrophic incident, and he learned the hard way, I guess he wont be pushy anymore . If hes being decent from the beginning, I wouldnt do anything like that, mind you .
well, Im rushing to lower the national power of this country, so its not my place to say that though . The king also think that it wouldnt be a good idea to continue the talk with the current atmosphere . Considering that my mood has worsened now, I guess thats reasonable if he thinks it would be better to continue the talk later when my mood has restored, rather than forcing to continue the talk right now .
In the first place, even if I promised something after this, I could just say [Eh? I dont know . I didnt go anywhere that day because I slept in my store] and itll be over . The king, too, might be wary of that possible outcome
Anyways, its seems fine to call it a day .
Alright, withdraw!
After giving the king a proper parting speech, I left the audience chamber . Then follow the guard in charge of guiding me to the castle gate .
no, I would get lost if I were alone, and they wouldnt allow other people roam the royal palace alone either, usually
And when Im following the silent guard
hmm?
I can see a somewhat familiar figure ahead
Eh? Viscount Yamano? (the Prince)
Aaaah!! This guy is one of that DQN bastards, the son of Count Wonrade, Viscount Efred!
The sexual harasser who ridiculed my refined modest figure!
Why is he here tte, the royal blood seems to run in that DQN family, so its nothing strange tte, theres no way thats the case, you idiot!!
Theres no way such a coincidence could happen!!
Damn, they got me! They fooled me!
I thought that hairstyle and mustache of the King and Count Wonrade were a bit different, but they werent completely different, something like that can be easily changed . What a blunder!
There are also wigs and false mustaches
Seeing this guy walking in the palace alone like this, even a moron would realize!!
Now youve gone and done it, Count Wonrade
Then it means that this guy who doesnt wear a disguise or anything strange like the king is the crown prince, and that he doesnt have the plan to meet me
Maybe the King kept it secret from this guy? To prevent him from making a mess again
And, as he feared, this guy has made a mess, again .
Well, even if he were present in the audience chamber earlier, together with the King, it would be as good as pushing past the limit .
No, I guess this is not this guys fault this time .
If he didnt know that Im coming to the royal palace, it cant be helped if he encountered me by chance . After all, for this guy, this place is probably [Workplace and Home], so its normal if he wanders around .
but nevertheless, he has no reason to act all friendly towards me . After all, this guy is the same person as that [Viscount Efred] who ridiculed me, in other words, this guy is still the same unpleasant terribly unpleasant rascal from back then!!
In addition, if Im involved with this guy in something strange, the king might use it as a bargaining chip for information gathering later .
A wise man once said, stay away from danger . Theres nothing better than staying away from this guy .
what happened? Please guide me out of this place quickly! (Mitsuha)
As might be expected, even tough the Crown Prince spoke to me, I couldnt just ignore him and continue walking, so the guide stopped . And when I said that the guard makes a frightened expression as if he remembered the moment during the audience and walked in a hurry .
Apparently, he seems to have come to realize that theres no way that the Crown Prince could withhold the girl who turned on the King without hesitation . And he seemed to decide that it was better to continue walking rather than letting the evil dispute begins .
Yup, correct!

If your danger detection ability is not good, you cant survive in this evil spirit nest!
And I quickly leave, ignoring Viscount Efred who is saying something .
No, since I only know this guy as [Viscount Efred], Ill deal with him that way, and there should be no problem .
An angry young lady, who had previously been severely insulted in front of a large number of nobles, ignored a Viscount from other country who just happened to pass at the Royal Palace .
there would be no problem .
Nobody would be blamed, yup .
Alright, withdraw!
what!? You met Viscount Yamano!? (the King)
Yes, just at the corridor there if you called her, why didnt you tell me!? (the Prince)
The king dropped his shoulders and hanging his head down after hearing the Princes words .
Even though we somehow managed to make her agreed to pretend that the failure from before has never happened so that we can patch things up from now on of course she would realize . I dont think that Viscount Yamano is stupid hmmm, what should I do (the King)
It seems that the future of the king will be full of difficulties .
