Sera-san got on otten used to snow, please don't worry"

"I have heard ru--"

Sera jumped on the prime minister's excuse

"Fufufu, Sera-dono is kind I a winter, thus I have ordered the prime minister to exempt all taxes and forced labors"

"Y-yes, Your Majesty We will provide food supply if there really are such villages"

The pri

Fumu, I didn't ask about taxes and forced labors, but I didn't see any food aid at least

"Your Majesty and prih self-support effort! Noyou exempt tax and labor, the on't ever finish Once we've asse on the winter, ill drive away those annoying Kogeoku Kingdoes!"

"--General Ganunu!"

The prieneral's verbal slip

Looks like I can really consider the [Winter] of this country to be man-made

Black haired Winter General-shi looked bitter, but he turned ahen he noticed eneral does not like using the [Winter] to prevent the invasion even though his reason seems to be different

"Satou-sadom"

"What kind of dresses are in fashion in the Royal Capital?"

"I was given the chance to see the Jade Silk presented to Her Majesty, it was really wonderful"

"Has Satou-sa called sea?"

"I saw in the book that there are seas of sand called deserts, is that true?"

In the dance party ere invited to after the talk with the queen, I was surrounded by the noble daughters

Every girl is wearing an expensive dress and fine orna populace, the nobles seem to be prosperous

Sera and the princess volunteered to take care of the girls, so I was finally able to enjoy the party

Still, it's a gaudy party that's unbelievable for a rural kingdom

Delicacies that I've never seen in dons are lined up on the buffet table

I tried eating several, the galette with yogurt that seereater burdock and carrot wrapped in bird meat with the sweet sauce were tasty

The others were like inferior version of Shiga Kingdom's dishes, they were not quite there

It's not a probleredients, it feels like the chefs are just not accustoredients

"What do you think, Viscount-dono About our country's cuisines"

The eldest son of a duke as gossiping abouta wine cup in one hand

"They're very luxurious The cuisine over here is especially splendid"

"Kiwolk bird wrapped greater burdock is it, you seedom's cuisine since I had a favorable impression, but he treated it as [Rustic dish] instead

Looks like he dislikes his own country's cuisine

"Yes, it's si to thank the chef later"

"I-is that so"

If possible I'd like to get the chef to teach me the recipe and the secret to it, that'd be swell

The young noble to provoke me?

"Here you are, Viscount-dono!"

The one who calleda curved sword in one hand

His face looks a bit red, he reeks of liquor Looks like he's drunk

"I heard that Viscount-dono has many valorous acts to be proud of! Please show us your valor by doing a sword dance with eneral throws a sheathed curved sword toaround e for the sword dance

Courteously, the red-haired's andpeople

Looks like it's impossible to decline the sword dance invitation

I look around the venue to collect information

The queen is expressionless like a noh mask so I can't read her emotion, the pri nobles are looking like it's unpleasant, Light Snow Princess andforward to it

Judging froeneral is popular a the military and the wealthy nobles

Zena-san and Lady Karina who are peeking fro here with excited faces

Sera and the princess's faces look like they're saying, "Get him!"

--This is not a duel but a sword dance you know?

Starting with a struins

I sootten used to Mia's o easy on me"

He pulls the curved sword and holds the sheath in the other hand

The red-haired general see the sheath for the other one instead

--Zazan

I block the tords swinging down onthe tune

Due to the thin curved blade, it lidethe tords to the red-haired general's side, and then I strongly fling away both of his swords

Matching the tiainst his to make za, zan sounds rhythot out of the swordserated eneral doesn't like it

I'] aniet back

It was popular with the girls and the maids in the venue at least

In theexcited, not only the princess, it orth the effort

When thefor breath

Looks like the stress is a bit too much for him since it was at the level of si at me with those eyes, this was a sword dance you proposed yourself

"It was quite a wonderful entertainon are representatives of brave warriors froive you these presents"

The queen praised us both and gave us bracelets with ice stones on it

They're not ic tools but they look quite expensive

It seems General Ganunu is a queen devotee, his face looks like he's forgotten about ot

Without a sound, a oblet on a tray

I drank the honey wine and returned the e poison with delayed effect inside the honey wine, I put a h I can cure ic Colu won't work due to my Resistance, so it's not a threat

"Viscount-sama, could I have a bit of your time?"

"But of course"

I replied to the hooded weaselkin merchant who called out to me with a smile
