Yobidasa Reta Satsuriku-sha Chapter 72 (1/2)

After preparing for 3 days for the coronation cereardless of their posts within the castle The people, taking part in Orsongrande’s national politics, didn’t reveal the details of the ceremony until the very last moment either

This is due to Hifumi’s instruction He has explained that it’s for the sake of not giving the eneh plans On the other hand the side of the defence has been drilled in the techniques required for their guard duty at a fast pace by Hifuiven the necessary directions for the construction works

Although only the date of the ceres like food stalls etc could be prepared for the festival on the land near the castle, the time and the details of the ceremony, even now three days before the actual event, still haven’t been released

“So, why have even I been left out from the circle of the privy?” (Imeraria)

Imeraria asked in astonishment within her office

Sabnak, handling paper work in the sa

“Please do understand Since you are the leading actor, ant you to solely focus on the ceremony itself, Imeraria-sama” (Sabnak)

“That excuse has been provided to you by Hifumi-sama anyway” (Imeraria)

“U…” (Sabnak)

I’ht By now it can’t be helped anys due to Hifu e vibe

After giving a fleeting glance at Sabnak, who turned his back and sorted the docuhed heavily

These last days Imeraria had been completely disconnected from any practical work As it reached the point that Sabnak followed her around as bodyguard all the time, he quickly dealt with any official work before she beca the only exception

Of course I the final checks, however since he finishes all of it in a way that leaves nothing to complain about, her only work is to look the docun them As he handles all the work very quickly, the civil officials have apparently been delighted as well

Although I have to adhtly not anised Sabnak’s abilities first and called him into the administration of his territory

“Excuse me” (Adol)

It was Pri the office

Since the ti with the work and his hints have been gradually decreasing He hasn’t informed Imeraria of the exact reason for that, but he likely has sooal in mind

After giving a glance at the way Sabnak works, Adola respectful greeting, he brought out a letter addressed to Imeraria

“From whom is it?” (Imeraria)

“It’s from Earl Biron, your Majesty” (Adol)

“… Let me have a look” (Imeraria)

Listening to the letter from Biron, Sabnak also stops his hands and lines up next to Adol

During the ti

“Sabnak-san” (Imeraria)

“Ha!” (Sabnak)

“The king of Horant has personally visited Biron-san in Münster to propose negotiations and wants to attend my coronation ceremony without fail on this occasion” (Imeraria)

“A-A foreign king, t-the coronation ceremony…” (Sabnak)

“It’s unprecedented” (Adol)

It’s inevitable that the three people are brooding over it Basically it’s unthinkable for a king to meet a fellow head of state in this world in the first place Above a king being the national polity hi as his country isn’t ruined

“What’s his aim?” (Sabnak)

“Going by what Biron told me, he wants to interact with me from now on and talk about the post-war procedures It seee that he wants to request an exchange of technology through Hifumi-sama” (Imeraria)

Although I “What kind of technology exchange is this about?”, Sabnak stroke his forehead with his right hand

“Ah~ … At the time Hifumi-san entered Horant, the equipetting into the country Isn’t it likely that he is ai for the same parts as Vaiya?” (Sabnak)

“… At any rate, I probably can’t afford to refuse him Sabnak-san, please contact Biron-san and prepare to receive the king together with the priuards Let’s report this to Hifumi as well” (Imeraria)

“As you wish” (Sabnak)

“Which reminds me”, Imeraria realized

“Even though Hifu to the royal castle every day, I don’t see hi within the castle decreased too…” (Imeraria)

“Ah, that’s because he has the knights practising being on duty using the hidden pathways and the servant’s passages Seeing that there are such passages within the castle, the royal castle of Orsongrande has a deep history as expected” (Sabnak)

“… Though it’s the first ti?” (Imeraria)

“Eh?” (Sabnak)

“Eh?” (Imeraria)

Imeraria and Sabnak were both surprised, while Adol hurriedly sneaked out of the office

While Hifumi visited the royal castle several ties with an unnatural air

There are the sideways used by the servants, but those are located in the ceiling and under the floor There is a strange dead space between the walls

While exa on the wood used as cover, he found pathways and secret chaes, apparently intended as connected escape routes in places such as the hall, the audience hall, Imeraria’s office, the bedrooms of royalty, etc

Since he found those at great troubles, it would be fine for the guards to use these pathways and he even established new caed exits and entrances to a part of the pathways He completed a network of secret pathways that even the rande’s royal castle didn’t know of

Each place has a dor hole, which can’t be spotted from the hallways and rooms if one holds his breath in the pathways Also, he put short spears and shurikens in shelves, which were placedsure that weapons are available in tiency at those places

“So, if there’s souy who can be considered suspicious, you can check his words and behaviour like this and, if necessary, drag them in here and dispose of them” (Hifumi)

Taking along several of the knights practising to be on duty, Hifu the details for the nth tiht here who are holding doubts towards Hifumi’s abilities, there isn’t any refusal either

“Do you believe it to have soet behind the scenes without uncovering theht to openly defeat the elements to have properly disappeared?”

“This depends on the objective Excluding some sorts of performances, if, for exaht end up failing to give them a sense of security However…” (Hifumi)

Pointing at the peeking hole in the gloomy pathway, Hifumi instructs all of them to look at the situation outside

What can be seen is a s like parties

“Try to think there was so on in this kind of place Will you interrupt the ceremony just because one rat has evaded the observation? Do you believe it to be right as knights to boast your acco the princess just because you defeated a single ene coronation ceremony?” (Hifumi)

“That is…”

Of course there will be important ceremonies once the princess becomes the queen It’s unthinkable for the achievements for themselves

“To the very end, consider being a guard as job of working behind the scenes Believe it to be just right, if there is no opportunity of publicly announce that “nothing happened” Besides, it would be probably better if you didn’t go public on how they died at that time either” (Hifumi)

While endlessly continuing such explanations, they are rasp the hidden paths

It’s not just walking While crawling around, they are training toroo any sounds

Related to these things, the knights hailing fro the concepts a lot faster than those froht Order, too Even Sabnak, who joined the first group to be guided, has learned the round without hesitation

“All of you, don’t talk Let’s now try to listen to the talks of the lot in this room” (Hifumi)

Upon Hifuainst the wall of the pathway quickly The conversation of two men was audible to their ears
