Chapter 131

Chapter 131 \n“It is said that Viscount Yamano came to our country to spread the word, and at the same time, had a sublime purpose to introduce the products of her home country and promote trades. And that’s why she set up a shop in the city center to introduce those products…” (Count)\n

The eyes of the guests are glimmering. Maybe they’re thinking that the [products] include pearls, gems, and other lucrative items. And that the source of those product is a country that produces a large amount of jewelry, which is cheap and circulate widely…

“Now then, Viscount Yamano, if you please!” (Count)

Uwaah, don’t quiver now of all time, Me!!

…But it can’t be helped, can it? What do I have to say, after all that? Impossible.

Alright, Let’s just gloss things over…

“Greetings, Dear Guests, my name is Viscount Mitsuha von Yamano. I came from a distant country that you probably don’t really know. As for the story of my home country, I will fill you in if there is another opportunity… That aside, I would like to thank the host family for inviting me to this party, also for introducing me to everyone here. I’m hoping that we will get along. From now on. please take care of me…” (Mitsuha)

Keep the greetings as simple as possible, and do not even mention my home country. Yeah, Well done.

After that, I will select those who are valuable to me, such as…

Or that what was I thinking, but before I realized, many people surrounded me around as I was trying to return to Mitchan, and they all talked at once.

“Let me introduce myself, I am Viscount Segour. Although our homeland is different. I’m hoping to have friendship in the same virtue…” (V. Segour)

“My name is Count Ralto. Our house always welcomes a beautiful foreign lady such as you. By all means, please visit so then we can talk about the exchanges between the two country…” (C. Ralto)

“I’m Count Beanvict. Please come to our Beanvict house and we shall talk regarding the trade…” (C. Beanvict)

People keeps talking to me one after another….

“I’m Marquis Mitchell. It looks like my daughter owes you one…” (M. Mitchel)

… wait, Mitchan’s dad?

Aaahhh, his eyes aren’t laughing!! Are you angry because you’re involved in a strange faction?\n

Dangerous!

When I thought so, I was unknowingly leaking words from my mouth, in a posture where I’m looking upwards because of height differences.

“…teasing me?” (M. Mitchel)

Aaaahh, just why did you run your mouth carelessly, Me!!! It was a small animal’s dialogue from a manga I read a long time ago!

“……” (?)

Baffled. Stunned. Appalled.

Mitchan’s father is hardened with an unfamiliar expression, that no one know how to describe it.

The surrounding people are also frozen, and the silence is spreading.

… What do I do…

After about 10 seconds, the world finally recovered.

No, 10 seconds in such a case is too long! It’s already a long time! It’s an infinite length, comparable to eternity! !

Well, anyway, Mitchan’s dad finally restarted, too.

“… I-I’m not teasing you….” (Mitsuha)

Why do you bother to freeze again at this point, even though you already thawed before!

Finally, he was thawed again, and the conversation resumed. For some reason everyone is listening to our conversations, so there is no fuss from the surrounding.

“I’m sorry, somehow it seems Mitchan has been in a weird position…” (Mitsuha)\n“Mitchan? Are you referring to my daughter, Micheline?” (M. Mitchel)

Ah……. Speaking of which, Marquis Mitchell is also Mitchan.

I-It’s no use, bear it! I have to endure this!!

This, Strict bearded uncle, Mit, Mitchan. Mitchan…

No, It’s hopeless!

“Buhaha, Bwahahaha!!” (Mitsuha)

Impossible! It’s impossible!!

Mitchan’s dad, who glanced at me as I started laughing, apparently inferred my path of thinking from my appearance. Gradually making his face red…

“Uwahahahaha!” (M. Mitchel)

And a laughing voice that can be heard from the side, unbefitting of a lady.

“Ahahahaha! Mi-Mitcha… ahahahaha!” (Mitchan)

Apparently, Mitchan seemed to understand why I blew out.

Only Mitchan and Mitchan’s dad understand me.

Thought patterns are the same. The points of laughter are also the same.

…No, How can it be?\n\nAh, come to think of it, I always referred Zagreus Kingdom, the country that the [general store Mitsuha] is in, as [Our country].

Well, Japan is also [My country]. But it’s not just because I received the title, but the people who are important to me lives in Zagreus Kingdom, my dearest country…

But then, what about this country?

The friendly soldier-kun, President-san, Mitchan, Mitchan’s dad, and the others who have met, talked, and took care of me so far…

…Enemy country?

No, indeed, for our country, it is now an [enemy country we are in war with]. But people in this country don’t know that fact at all.

But if we can avoid real wars and full-scale battles, we may be able to bring friendly relations. ….. Though the [Possibility] is not so high.

Well, new continents, new territories, large numbers of slaves, and gold and silver treasures. with such a mountain of treasure laying in front of the nobles, politicians, and merchants where they can easily occupy it, there’s no real reason to not to.

Military soldiers too, will not miss the perfect opportunity to gain credit. Of course, they are determined to actively invite battle invasions.

After all, you have no choice but to prepare for an armed invasion. And before that, we have to delay the exposure of our country, or even our continent, as much as possible, to earn time, and prepare in the meantime. That’s the only option we got…

“Mitsuha-sama, Micheline-sama, pleased to meet you. I am Aimia of Count Eriburg’s house!” (Aimia)

“I am, Baron Gellam’s…” (?)

Yeah, girls and boys coming one after another.

Marquis Mitchell could not disturb the fellowship between children and left quietly.

Mitchan, who is not good at this, also tried to escape, but I firmly grasped her arm and did not release her.

… I won’t let you go!
