Chapter 24: The Demi-hu

After several days, I finished copying the wall painting of the underground ruins

Using a useful non-attribute 」it transferred exactly what I saw to the paper, it was transcribed by ic It was a copy machine

I didn’t use a pen and write it, the characters appeared on the surface, exactly as it would if it were a copier While looking at the sic is just good to otten a printer fro out several cake recipes, I took thehted It’s just for the materials I had to use “Search” to locate several ti the 100 yen coin in my pocket as the base measurement Hurry up and notice o deliver it to the Capital? I thought about calling everyone together but theto see the Duke, so I decided to go by myself Its times like these I feel the difference of the nobles There weren’t any nobles in ht have been so the copied docuh the door, and ended up in front of the Dukes house

「Ah, excuse uard was surprised at my sudden appearance Actually every tiet used to it, fro to be a while

Huh?

The front gates are opening, a carriage is corateful! Please get in!」

「Eh? Wait…Eh!? What’s going on!?」

The carriage door opened and cae What what!?

「Well, I didn’t ie that Touya-dono would be here at this rateful」

In his excite at me, the Duke raised his hands in prayer I had certainly been sent here by God But I don’t think he would have sent me here like this What in the heck happened?

「What exactly happened?」

I asked the Duke, iped the sweat of his brow, and opened his mouth in a strained voice

「My elder brother has been poisoned」

…What did he just say?

When the Duke says “elder brother” he icide as it were?

「Fortunately ere able to deal with it Early on and he is holding out However…」

Squeezing both hands together, as if looking for an option in those hands, as his voice trembled They tried to kill his elder brother, that’s obviously so to worry about

「Do you have any ideas about the criminal?」

「……There is one person that I can think of However, there isn’t any proof You remember don’t you, when Suu was attacked? It’s probably the sa? Do you think some other country tried to assassinate him…?」

「If it were that it would be h the Duke lifted his face An unpleasant expression appeared on his face

「Our Belfast Kingdom is surrounded by 3 countries In the west is the Rifurisu Koukoku (e which beyond is the Regulus Teikoku (it also means Empire) and to the south is the Great Gau River, which boarders the Misu relationshi+p with the Rifurisu Empire for many years and have many friendly connections」

Fumufuo, there is a tentative non-aggression pact between us, honestly it’s difficult to say that we’re getting along aain And there’s the Misuainst the Teikoku 20 years ago, a newly founded nation arose We made an alliance with this new country and the empire was restrained and we tried to create new trade with them However, there are nobles who oppose that」

「Why is that?」

If it wasn’t knohen the Teikoku was going to invade, then wouldn’t it be prudent to simply have more allies?

「Misuether, demi-humans rule the country Those are reasons that the old nobles don’t like」

「…What is that?」

Because you don’t like so, it makes it OK to obstruct the nation’s best interests? Furtherht be unwilling to listen but giving them 100 steps will make it easier to understand Des, I’ve ood kid

「Once the demi-humans were treated lower than aniht of as a vile barbaric race However, when our father’s era caradually went out of use In fact, there are deht without any kind of discri old nobles that refuse to admit that are still around」

「Discriht Why should we have to ally with a vile demi-human’s filthy country? Shouldn’t we instead conquer them, and turn the except obstruct the the strings this tio that far?
