Chapter 19 (1/2)
After a Different World Transition, I Founded a Nation in a Week
AN: h.e.l.lo!
Author doesn't know the difference between Margrave and Earl!
I better die…To hear such a thing from my mouth!
But it’s okay! I picked up an excuse that it's because it is a different world from Earth!
I would like to return to earth!
「Can you listen to what I have to say?」
「The way you negotiate is too rough. You should start by saying h.e.l.lo and ask the other party after hearing what you have to say.」
「…Ren-kun is tough on old people.」
Bart manage to force a smile and looked at me with a nervous face.
I tried to go back to the hallway but Bart called my name so I reluctantly sat on the sofa in the guild master's room.
From what I have seen, Bart is a former adventurer. There are scars that remains in his left ear and forehead.
Therefore, he has an atmosphere that fits rude youths.
「If you speak politely, the other party will listen positively, and if you are overbearing or roughly speaking, the other party will feel negative. The person on the top must think about how to move people's feelings.」
「…this day is…hah..」
When I preached about people at the top, Bart muttered with his mouth quietly. His face is twitching greatly too.
Speaking of which, I feel that his tone became considerably looser than yesterday.
Well, I think I originally had a very strong personality… I feel like I can say anything even to a member of a royal family.
When I came to this world, I have become the figure of my game character. Is it affecting me?
When I was somehow thinking of my own changes, Sedeia has begun to give off bloodl.u.s.t from behind me.
Then, Bart who sits in front of us holds his breath.
It may be a veteran’s crisis perception ability.
「Stop it, Sedeia.」
When I say so, Sedeia stops releasing bloodl.u.s.t. Bart gave out a long sigh.
「I guess she’s a naughty girl. Even though I have been part of a cyclops subjugation before…compare to everything I experienced my whole life, I have never been more prepared for death now.」
「Hou, that's amazing. You faced the cyclops alone?」
「…No, two parties joint together.」
When I unintentionally admired his story, Bart badly wrinkles his forehead.
On the other hand, I was glad that I heard some good information.
Speaking of Cyclops, at the time of the game, it was a good intermediate-cla.s.s prey. If you have a party of elementary cla.s.s, you surely need about 10 to 20 people.
「…Ren-kun, if you're alone with the cyclops…No, I don't want to hear it.」
While looking at me, Bart tried to say something, but stopped midway.
I shake my head and look at Bart who changed his mind, I decide to quickly advance the talk.
That should be good for Bart's mental health.
「Then, let's get to the important matter now.」
As I said so, Bart groaned with a difficult face.
「… Indeed. We should negotiate after we understand each other's position. Is that the purpose? I was wrong to have been aggressive when I was the one who asked to meet you.」
Bart spoke on his own accord that he had noticed my intentions.
No, I’m not thinking about that.
When I was thinking about whether to point out to Bart, he took a cough and put his hand on his lap.
「Then, let me get straight to the point. Do you remember that there was one n.o.ble in the conference room the other day?」
「Ah, was it Baron Bowarei?」
When I said so, Bard made a wary face and nodded. It seems to be a troublesome talk for Bart.
「That Baron Bowarei is a subordinate of the feudal lord, Earl Villiers.」
「Earl Villiers? The margrave earl?」
I raised a voice in a way that I interrupted Bart’s explanation. Speaking of margrave, it is a special position the is equivalent to duke or archduke.
***TN: This explanation is only applicable in this web novel. Margrave's equivalent is a marquis in real life and in other novels.***
Shortening his t.i.tle to earl is disrespectful.
But Bart tilted his neck strangely.
