Chapter 44

“Well then, let’s get to the main topic. First of all, you all want to have diplomatic relations with us, so why are you asking me such a thing?”

“””Huh……”””

The partic.i.p.ants don’t understand what Mitsuha is saying.

“Although I was originally in a suitable position in a certain country, now I have left that country and am in the care of another country. And there I was granted land and I now manage a small territory.

In other words, I’m only free to do at my discretion things concerning my own territory, and it won’t be possible to negotiate with other countries, conclude treaties, or bring troops into the country without the permission of the king”

Representatives from the different countries who thought Mitsuha was a princess of a country were surprised.

“But, during the fight with the Demon army…….”

“At that time, I did not have time to spare, so I use my former position to lead a volunteer army with the heroes from this world. The bounty was the volunteer army’s reward. I am only a regional lord now.”

“T, then, diplomacy is … ….”

“Yes, there is no such authority within regional lords, and we cannot invite other people to the country without permission”

Mitsuha answers the representatives’ questions one after another.

And, the delegates from each country were confused because what Mitsuha said was very different from what they thought.

“Then, you simply need to act as an intermediary with the king…”

“What will you need an intermediary for?”

“Of course naturally, for offering diplomatic intercourse, dispatch of envoys, talks of trade……”

“……How?”

“Huh?”

The representatives look blankly at Mitsuha who asked that question.

“No, I was asking how will you dispatch your envoys and trade?”

“””Huh?”””

“Do you have many people with the ability to teleport world-to-world in your countries, great people who don’t need to shave off their lives to teleport things other than themselves unlike like me?”

“””Huh………”””

The strategy meeting room falls silent.

“Eh, did everyone here intend to have me carry them all?

I would die right away if such a thing is done. What do you plan on doing after that?”

“” “………” “”

“Um, are there others with that ability…….”

“This ability of mine was gifted to me accidentally by a wandering G.o.d that happened to pa.s.s through my world, I am the only one in my world, and it is not something that can be taught to others.”

Mitsuha returns a hopeless answer to the questions of the people present.

“U, um, then this …”

The representative of a small country tries to return the travel ticket after learning that teleporting while accompanying others will shorten Mitsuha’s lifespan. Apparently, it seems that the representative of this

country isn’t an agent. This person is too nice.

“Oh, that’s okay …If it’s the cost of carrying a person, that’ll recover over time… The ship has enough value to worth shaving off some vitality.”

The representative of a certain country that stands up upon hearing this.

“Then, we want to be guided to the princess’s home country! As a person from the home country of the hero, I want our countries to be joined with greetings and ceremonies of friendship!!”

Ignoring the dumbfounded looks from every direction that asks, “what ridiculous things does he have to say now?”, the representative of a certain country argues further.
