Strong
"Ask-san, could you please take a look at this?"
Winter will soon be over
The time when you can gradually feel the warmth of spring on your skin.
Eugenia handed over the materials in the living room.
A large amount of paper packed tightly in a binder
"Uwa, what's this amount?"
"It's a record of geology, soil, climate, crop types, yields, animals and monsters, and disasters over the past 80 years."
"Where?"
"It’s in the current Sordalene territory."
"Is it okay?"
"I have permission from my father."
Eugenia puffs out her chest and smiles confidently.
Behind her, Mileina made a peace sign and quietly asserted herself.
Tinia has dark circles in her eyes and looks like she's about to fall asleep.
"Did the three of you put this together?"
"Yes, as expected, raw materials are not acceptable, so I did some careful research."
So this is what you've been doing.
There are nearly 300 sheets of paper approximately 30 cm long and 40 cm wide.
"…What, what am I supposed to do when I see this?"
"I'm going to make a deal with the Empire."
"What?"
"We would like to import crops that are difficult or impossible to cultivate in the Empire, but can only be cultivated in the Sordalene territory."
"Is that... okay?"
"There should have been a free trade agreement between Shelma and the Empire."
"That's true. But that's something only a trader can do..."
"Father became a trader."
"…Ha?"
It hasn't even been half a year since they were lowered from Marquis to Baronet.
"I received a letter from my mother. She said, [he was depressed for a few days, but suddenly he ran to the commerce guild and got a trade license the same day]."
"Your father acted fast."
"Spilled water cannot be returned. That's why he moves to provide new water."
"Well, if you guys are okay with it, that's fine. So, is there any Sordalene territory left?"
"70% has been confiscated. Mileina-san."
Mileina is called and responds immediately.
"Yes! Eugenia-san... no, it's the remaining land of the Sordalene territory, but it's around my village."
"In other words?"
"Daikurinbohe Zagekaat Okgelaki Kawarami…"
"No, you don’t have to say it, you don’t have to say everything. Does that mean that 10 villages have become Sordalene territory?"
"The correct answer is that that is the only thing left."
"Ahaha… all of these villages have poor harvests, so other nobles don’t want them."
Mileina self-mockingly evaluates her hometown.
But there's no humility there
"If there's something I can do, I'll do it, and if there's still hope left, I won't give up. Isn't it natural?"
"What do you really think?"
"She f*cked us so well. I’ll pay her back a trillion trillion times more and make her lick the soles of all the people of Soldalene, so she better remember that!"
"Oh no, Mileina-san, was this person really the daughter of a Marquis?"
"Why are you using feminine language, Ask-san?"
…Somehow?
"Then I'll take a look at it. What about after that?"
"If there is no problem, I would like you to connect him to an imperial trader."
"You're using the imperial family as a connection..."
"I'll use whatever I can, and since I have nothing to lose, I'll do whatever I want!"
This person is scary
"I have another personal request."
"What is it?"
"I want imperial weapons."
"That's impossible."
Firearms cannot be transferred to other countries
"You can't make bullets, right? On this continent."
Saltpeter should only be known as a natural resource.
In the first place, it would be impossible to make black gunpowder.
We don't use gunpowder for bullets anymore in the Empire.
"No, what I want is not a firearm."
"Is it different?"
"Yes, I want a weapon for self-defense, something made by the Empire."
"Who will use it for self-defense?"
"Me."
Eugenia once again puffs out her chest.
"What? A dagger?"
"Ax and spear"
"……Yes?"
"Like I said, it’s an ax and spear."
"Ha? That's impossible."
It would be impossible with Eugenia's thin arms.
Thinking so, I looked behind Eugenia.
Tinia and Mileina looked away.
Why?
"Then let me prove it to you, Ask-san."
---
"Impossible, impossible, impossible!"
"Ask-san! Why are you running away!"
"You idiot! I'm not a swordsman!"
"Then why don't you just use the one from last time? The whip that goes boom!"
"I can't use it in practice. That thing can't do anything but kill!"
"Then please do something about it with that wooden sword!"
While I have a wooden sword, Eugenia has a long wooden spear.
That alone is a disadvantage
"What is it with you! Why is the daughter of a Marquis so good at handling a spear! It is strange!"
"At that time, I was outnumbered and wearing a dress, so I just chose to run away! If I put my mind to it, I can do this much."
"But what! Ordinary people can't do this!"
Thrust, sweep, hook, strike
Eugenia comes from every angle.
The best move is to grab the spear.
With Eugenia's strength, even I can suppress her.
"Oops, that’s dangerous."
"Damn it! Again"
She's good at pulling out too.
When I try to grab it, she immediately pulls back her spear and jumps back.
"I'll take this one!"
Then a strong thrust was fired at my right shoulder.
"It hurts!"
"How's that?"
"It hurts, you bastard! I shouldn't have helped you last time!"
"I'm really grateful for that. Well, that's about it."
Looks like she's good at adjusting too.
My right shoulder hurts a lot, but it's just pain, there are no bruises, and there's no damage to my bones or muscles.
"All right, all right, I'll have a good ax and spear made."
"Ara? I just wanted the existing ones, you know?"
"It's frustrating, but your ability is real. As a tribute to your skill, I'm going to ask them to make the strongest ax and spear."
"Do you know any excellent blacksmiths?"
"There is, the strongest blacksmith I know."
"The strongest? Not the best?"
"Yeah, the strongest."
To be precise, he wasn’t a blacksmith
Also, I won't be back for a while.
Also, I have to go to the Empire.
Also, God
