There will be people who will come to light if we investigate, and there is no doubt that more than a few people in high positions are involved.
āHmmm, a little less as a reward this time. Well, thatās solid. I understand. Iāll go along with Yoshiyukiās proposal. But what about the old druid?ā
āIāve heard about him. But I donāt know about that. I donāt think heās interested in our internal affairs, so thereās no need to worry about it.ā
Papa shrugs his shoulders, and we all agree thatās true. I donāt think the old druid would be so concerned about our internal affairs.
āThat has nothing to do with me. Whatās in it for Ninny-sama?ā
Ninny, the only one who is a complete outsider, interjects with a hearty huff. There is indeed no profit at all.
⦠It looks like it, but itās not.
āMiss Ninny, didnāt you come across the border to rescue Mashiro-san? If Takano County didnāt have free reign, you couldnāt have joined this expedition, you know? Donāt you already owe Takano County a great debt?ā
Ninny, intimidated by Papaās stern and slightly angry demeanor, backed away and bowed her head honestly.
āSo everything will be all right then, Yoshiyuki-dono? Takano Miu is a good recovery magician who was active in this expedition as a follow-up to Princess Sena. Is that what you mean?ā
No one raised any objections to Enrakuās words, and the conversation ended. Mii-chan finally finished cleaning up.
āUm, Mii-samaās reward is zero? Thatās terrible.ā
When the conversation was over, the air loosened up. Yamiyo puffed out her cheeks and voiced her opinion.
Itās true that with this proposal, Miu will be rewarded for being inconspicuous, but thatās because she helped this expedition team, and itās not right that there is no original reward at all.
āYes, you are right, Yamiyo-san. Then, Iāll give Miu the royal jewelry collection.ā
āAh, Yamiyo-chan. I like the land here! Iāll make lots of flowers bloom! I want to make a flower garden!ā
Before I let papa finish his line, I cover the words.
She raises her hands. Sheās so innocent, Mii-chan. Donāt change what I told you beforehand.
Sheās a small girl, but sheās a very tall girl, and sheās the excited Mii-chan, with a smile on her adorable face.
āThatās a good idea, Mii-chan! Letās make a flower garden!ā
āIsnāt it a little dangerous? Gauu, it looks like monsters will attack us?ā
If itās what Miu says, Yamiyo is in total agreement with me, and Tamamo speaks common sense.
āItās like Miu. But jewels are better.ā
āFlo-wer-Gar-den.ā
I want a flower garden. I want a flower garden. Miuās telepathy is activated! Thatās enough.
She rolls on the floor and flaps her little arms and legs to show her spoiled baby Mii-chan, but no one bothers to tell her that she doesnāt need a flower garden anymore because she has a flower garden inside her head.
āThen, may I ask you to contact His Majesty the Emperor to see if we can buy a part of Kamakura at a low price, Princess Sena?ā
āUnderstood. I will put the groundwork in place. Perhaps the Emperor will give it to you for free.ā
Seina puts her hand on her chest as if swearing.
āThen, please do me a favor. And letās not speak of this story to each other, so that it doesnāt leak anywhere. Even if weāre the only ones who know about this story, do not let it spill out. I ask you to do so. I will never speak of this meeting in the future. I will pretend to be a stranger.ā
āI understand. Itās good to be cautious.ā
And so this secret discussion was over.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ Of course, this papa is a fake. Heās Frigg-oneesan who disguised herself by controlling the communicator with [Machine Dominator V].
I plan to contact Papa from the fake Ouga. Iāll tell him that Ouga has been working on this story so that Mii-chan wonāt be in danger, and then weāll pretend to be unaware of the rest of the story.
So, Papa will never know the truth this time. I did something a little bad, but it was to protect Mii-chan, and by extension, to protect the family.
I hope you will forgive me for being a bit of a bad girl.
Iām sure a kind papa will forgive me.
Later, Kongmingās reputation will rise again, and everyone will begin to pay attention to his wisdom, but that is another story. Iām sure itās because Papa is so cool.
