Osakabe Iroha That’s my name-desu
The Osakabe household is the head est city in Lorel Union, Kannaoi
But well, my household is only a branch family of the main one, so in reality, I don’t have that much power
When you become the head of the main household, your political influence is tremendous, and in times, you can even interfere in political situations, so looking at the Osakabe household as a whole, it can be said that we are a household that can enter in the top 5 even in Lorel
Having said that, it doesn’t mean that I myself will become the head of the branch family, and since the time I was born, it was already decided that I would be send off for a political e Moreover, the other party is soonizing relationshi+p with the Osakabe household, a person of a branch family there
They don’t expect any sort of revolutionizing effect, and it is not considered an important milestone either
If I had to put it into words, it was equal to throater to one of many heated stones
Then, for what reason was I born in this city, in this fa and leeching off the tax of the people?
Without knowing theofI have been given?
In the ti constricted by questions that no answers could be found, I received a letter from e Because we have been exchanging letters regularly after all
Even e have nothe other party of our current state is the duty of a fiance and a fiancee after all
In his childhood, Izuht now, he is devoting hiard Acadeard, we have been exchanging letters, but both are far away places that make it difficult to meet in person
It was natural we had to resort to letters
But the contents of the last letter I received fro that shocked me deeply
Until now, Izu everyday life, and would ask about my current state, but this one was coht, its contents could be considered a kind of confession
To tell you the truth, since a fewturn
Since the ti the classes of a certain te at felt like it had changed
At summer vacation, it wasn’t because I wasn’t able to return, but because time was so valuable I couldn’t return
With the incident that occurred at the Acade in the reconstruction, and have helped rebuild a variety of things
Paths, walls, houses, public facilities; I repaired those kind of things, and seeing people use those places with a sreat joy and happiness
I was truly wavering about whether to tell you this or not, but I believe that I have to interact sincerely with you and reveal it
Currently, I am at a loss in how I should liveabout creating an opportunity to personallyout the things we are currently thinking of, and if possible, speak our hearts out with only the two of us
Please consider this in a positiveit, that’s the contents of it
What he refers to when he talks about the incident at the Academy festival, was the abrupt and unbelievable incident that occurred in Rotsgard Acade into powerful monsters
When I learned of the place and details of this incident, I was about to lose consciousness, but Izumo-sama was safe
Or more like, based on the information network of the Osakabe household and Lorel Union, leaving aside the results of the tournament, to my surprise, he played a heavily active role
What Iaside the results of the tournament’ was that in the tournaainst the person that had becoht, but he loss and the results were not that big of a deal
But that chaest in the Academy, was a woman
…I know that in ide ter women than there are y that’s different fron countries: ‘Men have to protect wo to a worowth, but I was in a coht, that’s not the issue here
In the letter of Izu at a loss in how to live his life, that’s exactly what pierced s in co of those words
Izu he wants to do
If not, he wouldn’t be at a loss
The weight of the fa fro out these things has been taught to us plenty and we have groith it
Even so, Izu that he is unable to hold back and is at a loss
Ah
This was co of my existence What an envious worry that must be
Ora type of worry that I have never been able to obtain myself
And so, the next one, the part where he proposed for the first time to speak in person
At the same ti of happiness welled up inside ele mention about this, but thanks to his words ‘I a this uneasiness
Ourit, there’s the need for a fitting resolve first
There’s obviously the resolve of losing all your lifestyle until now, and the resolve of being unable to live your life properly from there on
That’s why I don’t think it will turn into such a heavy situation yet
But in the possibility that Izu as well as me, and prioritizes his own dreams… ill be ofthe letter were collaborating exquisitely with my current emotions
At that time, I felt like an empty doll
In the past, even when I was troubled in that kind of way, I could just place the expectations of the people in that e that ‘I’ am needed But this tiht in time’ would be imprudent, but at that tirand labyrinth, theharm to the toith Kannaoi at its centre
The whereabouts of the on Slayer Sofia, were unknown, but even if that were the case, there’s no way to ignore the har to grow stor dealt with is poor, even in my eyes The reason is because the head of the Osakabe household that should be standing at the front dealing with the dae, is doith a disease
And thefor the seat as the new head were trying to obtain big achieve and keeping each other in check which served as a big reason as to why the situation was being so poorly dealt with
My surroundings are normally disconnected to those kinds of political disputes, but as expected, after some time, they continuously came to make demands
I have heard that, lately, there have been radical factions ai fora low seat princess likeit bluntly, even if worthless princesses were to join this conflict, ouldn’t be able to do anything anyways
The labyrinth jurisdiction is being done in cooperation with the Adventurer Guild, so it see towns that have suffered har the tax collection in Kannaoi, and it is steadily turning into a big problem
The labyrinth is in this unstable state, and in a situation where you can clearly see frorand labyrinth, and yet, the result of thebetween the Osakabe household and the military families of poas tovarious probleht that this was foolish
They should properly judge the present condition, and calculate the a any problems to their livelihood
When I told this to the person in care of etsu, he told me that that should be the correct way, and praised etsu didn’t tell this to father
That’s why I spoke with father directly, but I ended up getting scolded, telling s without even knowing about the world outside’
I don’t understand
I don’t understand what part is it I a about
If they mistake the increase in tax and the towns steadily decrease because of this tyranny, what are they going to do?
If we turn it around, this would alsowill also face a decrease in tax received
So
That’s why, I decided to create proof
I aathered up all the money I have saved until now and can freely use, just in case, I choose a few s the protection sword that has been together with me since I was born, Hotaruate the present condition of the neighboring towns on my own-desu
Look at the scale of the towns and calculate the proper a the documents that show the tax yields of the past as reference, it was all ready-na no desu
My basic knowledge was also ready-desu
Now that I think of it, I was truly naive It was a childish decision that was filled with holes everywhere
Even so, I was completely confident
At dusk, I slipped into the darkness and left the house
Like this, the first journey in my life -the life of Osakabe Iroha- had opened its curtains
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
My journey came to a setback in just two days
I couldn’t even arrive at the first town
At the dead of the night, within a forest that was disconnected from the main road, the swords of adventurers were pointed atis, they are adventurers I hired
When I went to the guild to arrange both bodyguards and a carriage, kind adventurers called ave them a simple explanation of the situation And then, they cordially accepted to take on the job of being the bodyguards and to arrange the carriage to the next town
