234 . Portrait of Battle 1
Its a war (?)
Eh? (Mitsuha)
When I went to the [Products Store], my base in the capital city of the Vanel Kingdom, the uncle at the neighboring guard station, told so .
That sure ca out of nowhere .
and sohow, I got a sense of dj vu from that line . I wonder if I had this kind of exchange sowhere before
Or rather, was it such an international situation? I didnt know at all
I guess I shouldve done more serious research not only on this country but also on neighboring countries and international affairs .
Even if this is a critical situation for this country, I wonder whether itll be good or bad for
so you didnt know yet . Well, Its a topic that is hard to ntion to a noble of another country and a child at that . I thought you already know it, but Im glad I told you just in case (Guard-san)
Uwah, thank you!
I dont know if its the effect of gifting them regularly, or he just told that out of kindness for a lone foreign girl, or that was his bosss instruction, but Im grateful for that . That information alone is well worth dozens of gold coins .
I wont pay for that, though!!
Lets just show my sincerity with so snacks .
I appreciate that! It would be bad if I got stuck in another country, or if our cargo ship were to be captured by an enemy! Ill be sure to thank you for this later! (Mitsuha)
After saying that, I quickly dashed to the product store .
First, I need to gather so more information . Without information, I would have limited options .
A war ans theres at least an enemy country I dont think theyve realized that theyre currently in conflict with our country .
By the ti I went to the party the other day, the higher-ups and military personnel probably knew this already . Still, as expected, theres no way they could tell about the situation with other countries, I guess .
Updated from novelhall[.]com
well, thats a given .
Certainly, Ive t so of the higher-ups and military personnel of this country at parties, but from their perspective, Im just a business partner, not soone who can talk about politics with them, let alone talk about the other countries . Theres no way theyll talk about sothing like that in a place where I can hear them .
Besides, they thought that I was a child in my early teens . Before the fact that I am the one who is responsible for the full-scale trade with this country, Im supposed to be the daughter of the secondary queen of so country who was entrusted with preliminary investigation . So its unavoidable if they think that Im not in charge of political talk or war .
In the first place, they dont know whether if my country is in this countrys side or the enemys side, so of course, they couldnt say anything .
Anyway, collecting information is my first and foremost priority right now .
Speaking of soone I can ask without hesitation and having absolutely accurate updates, that would be
Mitchan, Im here to play! (Mitsuha)
again, youre always so suddenly (Mitchan)
Mitchan rubbed her temple with her fingers as if she got a headache .

I have a good headache dicine if you want?
In the Marquis available today? (Mitsuha)
And youre treating soones father, and the head of a Marquis family at that, like a friend First of all, why dont you ask [Is Marquis Mitchell at ho today? or sothing like that!! (Mitchan)
Is that really bad?
Well then, let rephrase that
Miss Micheline de Mitchell is the Marquis around? (Mitsuha)
Its the other way around!!! (Mitchan)
Mitchans seriously enraged .
OF course, it was on purpose .
To , Count Bozes is [Count-sama], but Marquis Mitchell is just [the Marquis] . Its not like hes the kind of person that I should attach [-sama] to,
In the past, it was okay to call him [Marquis-sama] because he was a senior aristocrat from another country and Mitchans father, who happened to be the one who took care of in this country . But now its no good .
Ive softened my attitude a little bit, but I havent really forgiven him .
Besides, Its not like Im calling him by his na . Its not rude to refer him by his title, after all . Im also called [Viscount Yamano] or simply [Viscount] by Barons or other Viscounts .
No, Im in a hurry . I have to fulfill my main duty (Mitsuha)
When suddenly entered serious mode and said so with a serious face, Mitchan seed to know that this was related to my work as an aristocrat . And after a few seconds of silence, she nodded
all right . Wait inside the reception room (Mitchan)
nice to see you . So what is your business? (the Marquis)
The Marquis ca after I waited in the reception room for a while .

Maybe he was consulting with Mitchan about the reason for my sudden visit, how to deal with it, whether to apologize for the last ti, or just to shove it under the rug
And Mitchan is nowhere to be seen .
Perhaps she decided that she shouldnt be present . Mitchan is a bright child, after all .
Well, Its also possible that the Marquis didnt let her co with him
But it doesnt matter .
Theres one only thing I want to know .
It seems that a war is about to begin . Please tell about it in detail . The enemy country, the cause that triggered the war, the difference in war potential, the chances of winning, and so on, all of them!! (Mitsuha)
Eh . (the Marquis)
Well, of course, he will be troubled .
Theres no way he can talk about political secrecy and military decisions to a little girl he doesnt even know where she is from .
But hell want to repair his strained relationship with , so he cant flat out disregard that . Sohow, I have to talk him into it skillfully
Hmm
Only the part that will be publicly announced to so extent is enough . The ones that already leaked to the enemy from the nobles who were colluding with them, or from soldiers who were caught in honey traps, etc . that nothing will change even if you tell now . Anyway, please tell everything that you can talk to nobles, soldiers, or rchants of this country without any problem (Mitsuha)
(the Marquis)
The Marquis is looking at with a bewildered look .
Well, I guess thats too straightforward
However, if you dont care about being considerate or reserved towards the other party, of course, itd be like that
In any case, I cant make my move just by knowing that theres going to be a war without knowing anything else!! Is it okay if soone from the enemy side gets in touch with and tricks into making all of my products flow to their country? Even though the costics, alcohol, and spices could be used for spying and political movent? (Mitsuha)
Updated from novelhall[.]com
Un, its like sothing I would do!
Ugh!! (the Marquis)
Alright, its working!
Lets give him anotherbody blow!
Also, our small high-speed ship might be captured by the enemy, and then they seized both the ship and all of our supplies with it (Mitsuha)
Uuuuh (the Marquis)
And
Or they might trick us, and we beca friends with the enemy (Mitsuha)
Uppercut!!
Guha!! (the Marquis)
alright, hes down!
