Volume 13 Chapter 36 (1/2)
13-36 InaugurationSatou's here Getting a positions that you could do for the first time also increase In case of the modern japan, there are some situations where a section chief has no subordinate in order to cut overtime pay
◇
”Some business came up, so please enjoy yourself in the hall ahead of me”
”Satou! Are you going to leave your escort ppartner?”
”I'm sorry I've been summoned by the prime minister Linsama, I'm sorry, but please take care of Karinsama”
”Yes, please leave it to me!”
Lady Karina co her behind, but I'll leave the rest to Viscount Ehter
”Liza, and Lulu, please watch over the girls so they won't make any mistake”
”Understood”
”Yes, I'll do my best!”
”Waait, you should've asked Arischan there”
”Nn, objection”
After deceiving Arisa and Mia, who showed their dissatisfaction, by patting their head, I followed the gentle for me to the prime minister's office
◇
”I' you to be the vice minister of the Tourism Ministry”
Theto the prime minister's office could be summarized in those words
”With all due respect, it is far beyond my ability”
Of course, I rejected immediately
The 'tourism' word is attractive, but in actuality it's just a nice way of saying the prime minister's secret service activity
Moreover, I remember they wanted Satou to protect the royal capital when I was talking with them as Nanashi+, I wonder what's happened with that?
”Rather than someone like me, the people of noble birth with more experiences are--”
”You're fit for it”
Interrupting me, the prime minister declared
No, I understand you're declaring and all, but please stop taking a strange pose while e your muscles
”The Tourism Ministry is nice y'know I aht now, but His Majesty will lend a small airshi+p for the tourism activities”
I see, a provision to get around the tourist spots huh
I have h-perforht be convenient
The next lines is mixed with discrepancy from the conversation with Nanashi+
”This airshi+p boasts the highest speed in the kingdoic artifact”
I see, so it's an equipdo happens
I' to clean up the obstacles ahead of tih, so it's not really relevant
”Furthere as a major power, you can tour facilities and events that aren't possible for a commoner, and taste the special dishes that are only served in the royal court in each country”
Mu
I can stealthily intrude off-liic, but that's a kill-joy right
”And, I don't et of the Tourisrow on a tree Of course, you'll have to report the spending, but that's simply a formality”
I don't care about money since I already have an income that far exceeds my consumption
However, with theseto catch?
”--Of course, obligations goes hand in hand with those rights”
The prime minister switches the talk as if he's read my mind
Now then, now's the real issue
He's probably going to talk about secret intelligence
Before it got too deep, I should skillfully change the subject and run away
”Every tin country and a city, you have totheir fa sample of the famous specialty products for the preservation, you have to absolutelythem back--”
--Huh?
”In addition, et the recipe of the local fauess the recipe by yourself or your chef and put it on the appendix of the report In case of ingredients not being available in shi+ga Kingdom, you have to consider the replacement too If they're plants, then secure the seeds in order to grow them here”
Wait a minute--
Prime Minister (you), since you can't freely travel outside the kingdoo in your stead?
Looks like hed once, and said his official stance as if he was trying to varnish over it
”This is for the sake of protecting the cultures nurtured by each country froe of Great Disturbance』 By nomy hobby and appetite”
You said appetite out loud
The prime minister is probably serious, but it's possible that he'stoo, let's confirm it a bit more
”Then, there is no need for ence in each country?”
”But of course We have already dispatched spies dozens or even hundreds of years ago in countries that need the a hastily trained noble now Moreover, it'd be a great loss to have the precious airshi+p stolen under the pretext of you doing espionage activity”
I see, there are people who have fitted in the actual places just like Ninja's [Grass]
”I' this position to you because you have the ability to efficiently collect cuisines and also the prowess to defend the airshi+p from monsters and other countries”
As the prime minister has said, with et a single scratch as long as we aren't hit by a surprise attack froreater demon
Even if it gets broken, that means I just need repair it
Right, I need to ask one
”What happen in case ofthe country that ere visiting?”
”Escape ion For any other opponent that you can win against, you can help theratitude, or you can abandon them”
The pri sounded like he believed that I would save them without fail
That's true and all, but it feels like he's seen through ood
”In case of cross-national war, you're forbidden to take side as a representative of shi+ga Kingdom”
In other words, if I want to intervene a war between hu known huh
”Moreover, you're forbidden fro countries where there are oracle of dedom and Weasel Empire”
He did say that we should escape if we met a demon lord after all
Moreover, I plan to visit those countries as Nanashi+, so it doesn't hurt even if they're forbidden
Oops, before I knew it, ht worked as if I had taken the job
As expected of the priotiation
”Is there a rule for resignation?”
”If you have written the report of the countries you've visited, then I don't mind if it's arbitrary”
Judging from the answer of this question, it looks like he seriously doesn't intend to ent for diplomacy
”That is quite Doesn't the receiver side get way too much?”
The prihed off my question
”His highness Soltrick has said it too, you really are too ood that you're prudent, but if you don't have the guts to at least et taken advantage of by old countries like Saga Empire or Garleon Union y'know”
Indeed I re when I met him in Princess shi+stina's room
”--Viscount Rottol and Duke Oyugock told dom if I leave you alone without shackles after all”
The prime minister muttered in low voice
I picked it up with Attentive Ears skill, but you wouldn't have normally heard it
I can't argue back, since various things flashed in my mind
”Then, let's hear your answer--”
I contemplate for awhile
It is attractive, but there's too few advantages for me
There's h, but
Let's decline since it'sme hesitate like this
He probably won't force me to become the vice minister anyway
The ly perceived my disinterest, clapped several books that were placed on top of his office desk
He presented the top book bound with thread
”This is?”
”The thing that contains inforour my term”
--What?!
”For someone who like to travel like you, you should feel like juht?”
Kuh, to think he took out such a trump card in the end
Priood!
”If you work as the vice ive you letters of introduction for the influential people in each country This should save you the trouble even against a cook who's hard to please”
GJ (Good Job)!!
It can't be helped if it's this much
The pri, but I'll let him have his way here
After conte for a bit--
I answer the prime minister with my affirmation
◇
We'll leave the details for later, so I follow the pri his office behind
It seems the airshi+p needs to be equipped first, so the delivery will be in one month
During that tidom
While I alking and listing things that have to be done, the prime minister suddenly stopped
Blue marker is reflected on the radar It's Hikaru
Looks like Hikaru is currently acco party hall
Looking at their har with the queen too
”If it isn't His Majesty”
I kneel together with the prime minister
”Ara, Prime Minister Is the child your son?”
