Chapter 189
189 . Strangely Shaped Rock Island 1
T-th-thats okay! I will thoroughly prepare! Set up the magic circle, wait for the stars to align, prepare magic stones, and siphon the magics from the ground!!Eloim Essaim, desu!! Its a body-friendly spell that activates by taking the worlds magical power through preparations rather than my own vitality!! Of course, I will also chant theDiacutefirst!!! (Mitsuha) (Note: Puyo puyo reference)
I desperately persuaded them!
And I brought them to a state where they could somehow hear the story!
I worked hard you know!!
so thats why, if I prepared enough in advance, spend a reasonable amount of money to gather magic stones, spell charms, and other artifacts, and chose the day when the stars are aligned, I will completely recover just by resting in bed all day, there would be no adverse effects related to vitality or permanent damages (Mitsuha)
Count-sama and Iris-sama managed to calm down after listening my dubious explanation .
are you telling the truth (Count-sama)
you arent telling lies, are you (Iris-sama)
Uwaaah, they have no trust in me tte, well, I guess it cant be helped .

I guess thats because they believe that I will spare no effort if its for the country and the people, even if I have to pay the cost with my life .
Actually, Im not that admirable of a child . If anything, Im more like [Gorgeous Irene] or [Shibamura Mai] type of girl .
I will take any measure to achieve my goal, no matter what . To protect little girls, I will not hesitate to cut the bandits life . ah, that one is normal, everyone wouldve done that . Thats obvious!
Well, anyway, I have to feign innocence here
Yes, of course! I will prepare everything with a single swoop! And be very careful not to damage the coast! (Mitsuha)
Yeah, dropping a huge masses into the ocean near the shore will undoubtedly create a huge waves . No matter how shallow the area I chose, its not certain that it will not create waves at all .
Well, Ill take proper measures to avoid it .
And I still have one thing to ask to Count-sama and Iris-sama .
And theres one more thing, I would like to ask Beatrice-chan to be the head of the company that will be established there (Mitsuha)
Eh?
Eeeh?
Eeeeeehhh!!??
Count-sama and Iris-sama shouting in surprise with their eyes wide open .
yeah, I guess its normal that theyre surprised
Of course theres a reason that I decided to ask Beatrice-chan for this role . actually there are many reasons .
First of all, Im busy all the time and would not have the time for it .
It should be a person of high-rank, so that it would be difficult for either the nobles or merchants to show overbearing attitudes, or to set up bribes, dirty trick, honey trap, etc .
It should be an intelligent person .
It should be a person who would never betray me and Bozes family .
and [It should be Beatrice-chan] .
Thats all .
Well, only the last reason is actually enough .
The eldest son, Alexis-sama, became a viscount and received the territory next to mine . And the second son, Theodore, will be succeeding the Bozes Count house, so the whole family can live nearby .
But what about Beatrice-chan?
Since she is an aristocratic born, her marriage age is quite early . It wouldnt be strange if marriage talks come in as soon as she has her debut in social circles . And now the Bozes County is developing rapidly, it has been suggested that it may soon become a Marquessate .
And Beatrice-chan is the daughter of that house and known as the younger sister of Alexis-sama who is currently reputed as the coolest man in the social circle .
He protected me and the commander, Marquis Aiblinger, with himself as a shield . Thus, he became the cornerstone of the victory during the [Kingdoms Absolute Defense], the battle with the Imperial Army and the Ancient Dragons, and the founder of a new noble family .
yeah, Alexis-sama is pretty popular now
It was good that his dream of wanting to be motivated by the girls was fulfilled
Anyway back to the topic .
And Beatrice-chan is also known as a friend of viscountess Yamano, the [Himemiko of Thunder] .
a cute, honest, intelligent, and lovely girl with bigheart .
Yup, theres no doubt that there will be a lot of marriage talks coming in .
At this rate, she will be married off to somewhere in a 2 or 3 years . According to Japanese standards, she is still considered as a child though
If she married of to a good family then its all good, but what if its a foul noble family who always pushing their status and position? What if its a pervert old man who connected to the Royal Family? What if its a black-hearted noble who just pretending to be a good person?
I dont think Count-sama is the type of person who would sell his daughter in political marriage, but as a noble and as a lord, he has to protect his house, territory, and the folks no matter what . Even if he knows that it would make his daughter unhappy .

That is what a head of a noble family and a lord of a territory is .
No no no no no!!!
Thats not acceptable!!
yeah, so lets make it so that she can live where I, Count-sama, and Iris-sama can reach!!
For that, lets give Beatrice-chan an important role and force her to take a groom instead!!
Fuha .
Fuhahahahaha!!!
And Beatrice-chan, Sabine-chan, Colette-chan, and Mitchan the second will be married before me!!
Fuhi .
Fuhihihihi!!
is it over? (Count-sama)
Eh? What is? (Mitsuha)
Delusion time (Count-sama)
urusai wa!
and, well, thats why I want Beatrice-chan to do the job (Mitsuha)
Of course, the only reason I explained to Count-sama and Iris sama was the ostensible ones . For the actual reason, I will bring it to my grave . I dont want to go in anytime soon though .
I was wondering what you are going to say, but (Count-sama)
Mitsuha, you (Iris-sama)
Ah, both Count-sama and Iris-sama put up an exasperated expression on their faces .
You just want to keep Beatrice within your reach, dont you? (Bozes Couple)
As expected of couple, theyre perfectly matched!!
and my true reason is completely exposed .
Well, Mitsuha seems to have no other friend than Beatrice (Count-sama)
Eeeeeehh!!!
Count Bozes just launched a ridiculous insult!!
I do have!!! Colette-chan, Sabine-chan (Mitsuha)
Huh? Thats all?
Is that it? Besides, Colette would be Mitsuhas servant, and Her Highness Sabine is a royal . Neither of these can be called ordinary friends, right? (Count-sama)
Ugh (Mitsuha)
I thought that Count-sama might be reluctant to let Colette-chan go if I said that she can be my vassal candidate because she is talented, so I said [Shes my lifesaver, so I want to hire her to be my servant] .
During the orc subjugation, I explained to him that Colette-chan was tagging along because [She can return to her village after a long time and see her parents] . Thats why Count-sama thinks that the relationship between me and Colette is no more than that of a master and a servant rather than equal friends . ugh, I cant refute
As for Sabine-chan, it can be treated as blasphemy if a mere emerging viscount treating her as a friend .
I cant talk about Mitchan the second, and of course, Mitchan the first is also out of the question . And he will only recognize the Yamano family maid girl corps as servants .
The orphanage no no, its unlikely that Count-sama would recognize them as my friends!
I am sorry! (Count-sama)
What are you apologizing for? (Mitsuha)
Ah, I guess thats right . I guess this is where I should feel sad .
But regardless of what Count-sama thinks, I do have friends and I dont need to be depressed, yeah!
why are you suddenly putting that smug face? (Count-sama)
urusai wa!
