15-20 The Empire's Subjects

Satou's here Why do we become unconditionally friendly with people from the same country e met them abroad? Is it because you feel a sense of security when you converse using the sae?

◇

"It's a really lively city"

"Yes, I can't get tired of seeing the attires of the people walking on the street"

Just as Zena-san and Liza-san have said, there's a lot of people walking on the Weasel E showy clothes

Of course, the working class people are wearing plain clothes, but their health doesn't see in thisfor the audience with His Majesty"

Lady Liedill guided us to the Weasel Euest house

According to the map, it's close to the dormitory where the reincarnated and transported people are living, this is just right

When our carriage entered the entrance, the gatekeepers who noticed us shouted at our arrival

Apparently, Lady Liedill didn't tell the came out behind the servants who had lined up in a hurry

"Liedill-sadom?"

"--Why is an official of do a hostile attitude at the , he also has a position in the internal inspection department besides the doh at 39 with scout-type skills despite being an official

"I will be attending thee frohts ASAP』"

"F-fro that

Don't tell me, did she come to Dejima Island on an airship without an order from above?

"It cannot be helped I will entrust the matter here to you Kuro-saon as you proet it okay!"

Lady Liedill ran off while leaving those words behind

I should have told her enough about Satou's history in our journey already, did she have , but asking that here would be bad so I'll leave it for later

"Nice toof the Weasel Ea Kingdom I want to hear the schedule for our audience with the e as Kuro

"The audience will be held in three days Until then, please relax in this guesthouse and freely spend your tiuard who knows the capital well, so please ask hi at the search result on the map, the capable people who are as skilled as the official before us are concealing theuards arethat, we entered the provided rooreet us

I set up a barrier for counterespionage once it's just us

"Alright, now the people outside won't be able to hear us--"

I turn toward Zena-san after saying that

"--U-u earlier?"

Zena-san's face becaht red after I asked her that

--Huh?

It wasn't because she felt soet some tea"

Liza who perceived the mood stood up and went to a teapot in the corner of the rooic tool

"Uht maybe Liedill-san loves Satou-san"

"That shouldn't be the case Since Liedill-san is aintelligence for a reht isn't it!"

Thanks to the effort of the deception skill which I hadn't used for a long tih I said reht once with Lady Liedill

That girl ht with anyone strong

There is no chance of h, so it doesn't a Norouyn, I will be acting as your bodyguard"

"Norouyn, thatmy esteemed cousin-dono"

The uard seemed to be the cousin of the weaselkinwith the e, the weaselkin merchant's uncle who's in the senate appears to be his father

"As a token of our appreciation, my father wishes to invite you to a banquet--"

Come to think of it, one of the special scientific vehicle captains said that his relative was a member of the senate

I have to talk to thee, but the ht Outis has no diplomatic channel

Let's push the matter to the crown prince on Dejima Island

That able man must be able to handle it well

The hyahhaacivilians have found edom's coal pit

I've no doubt that they ork hard for the sake of people froh

"--Kuro-saht of unnecessary things

"Then I will take your offer"

Thus it's decided that I will visit the head fa Liza and Zena-san who have dressed up

By the way, Liza is wearing red chic dress and Zena-san is wearing cute azure dress

Both look like normal dress outwardly, but their defensive power is equal to the early days golden ar befitting of weasels"

Zena-san is excited to see the luxurious mansion

In contrast to her, Liza who hates weasels frowns

The bodyguard who came with us had run inside to inform his father, the host of this party

"Ah! It's Alex"

When I turned at the impudent voice, the to behind a reception desk-like table

They're wearing bold clothes with open chest valleys unlike the other receptionists, so they're probably guests

The black haired girl is pointing at irl is stiffened with a pale face

"--Wait a h?"

The purple haired girl ht the ar to rush out of the booth

"Master?"

"Letto co defensive ic power fro the invocation isthat his status is invisible!"

"Eh? Wasn't Miko-cchi said that there's nothing your appraisal can't see 'cause it's through God"

"That's why I'uards!"

"Eh! Me?"

"Quickly!"

"Mou, you'll have to treatof the station's parfait next tiirl, the black haired girl reluctantly moved

The difference between the teirl and the 'irl is extreirl's body got wrapped in purple light

I don't know the details since she has Hide Skill on, but it's probably an activation of some kind of Unique Skill

It's probably a kind of Unique Skill that will protect her together with the black haired girl

"Do not be frightened--"

I walk toward the purple haired girl while taking off the [Thief God Harness] on e] as it can even prevent the divine gift [Status Check] reincarnated people have

"--I'll let you see it, Toirl's na to ease her tension, yet she denied it out loud

Looks like she has a complex about her nairl did earlier

"Stop at once! My automatic counterattack <> will retaliate any attack by twofold back at the opponent"

Tomiko who looked nervous explained her own ability like soa

It's probably a diversion to preventat them

"You shouldn't talk about your own Unique Skill to your opponent--"

I release [Lesser Spark] froer

It's Taic

"Kya"

The lesser spark increased by twofold ca Tomiko, but it vanished before ic Zena-san invoked

On the other hand, it seee, her beautiful hair looks bad due to the spark

"--Since I'd be forced to deal with you like this then"

After saying that, I tell her, "I've made it so you can appraisecautious like a cat

『Ah, I can see--huh? It's not Alex, Kuro? Reincarnated person--no, there's no Unique Skill』

Speaking her thought out loud to herself in Japanese seems to be her habit

『Are you a new transported person called by the emperor like Asuka?』

『I have no relation with the emperor I come from outside the empire』

I replied back the question in Japanese

Tomiko's attitude immediately softened

『--Outside? Like Nezu-san?』

『I'm sorry but I don't know anyone called Nezu』

『I see--that's right isn't it He was a reincarnated person, a ratkin from the north』

The ratkin demon lord's face flashed in uards rushed in

They're brawny lionkin and tigerkin men

"Kunelia-sama, is the white hair over there the suspicious person?"

"N-no It was a ?"

The lionkin who seems to be the captain conversed with Touards!』

『A-Asuka--』

Seeing the black haired girl behind the uard ca htwith this gentleuest of honor today called by father do you know?"

Touard

Apparently, offending ato do

"It was nothing Forget about that, let's go now if you're done with the things there"

Nothing good would couard to guide us to the host

◇

"So you're the endom Since you're an emissary, is it correct to assume that you're an earl or a duke?"

"Neither I am an ordinary citizen"
