Chapter 93: Condescending Person 1
"So boring!"
Life in the carriage went on for a few days.
Finally, Sedona snapped.
"It's just a constant rumbling, rumbling, rumbling! And when I look out, I can't see very far because of the mountains."
Even so, I can't let Sedona fly
"I know how you feel, but hold on, Sedona."
Even Wince, who is trying to soothe her, is a little annoyed.
In Wince's case, the cause of her irritation is the fact that she is dressed like a lady.
Apparently, Wince doesn't like long skirts
"Looking at the map, our destination is almost there. All I can say is, be patient."
"Was it necessary for Father to go there in the first place?"
I'm heading there because I had to
"Because the nobles have to respond to the nobles' response. It is necessary not to show any weakness."
If you're asking me if I'm the right man for the job, I doubt it.
At worst, I'm the only person who can escape on my own when force is used.
"Well, it's about time to talk about work. Look at this."
I unfold the map in the carriage
"The content of the event is..."
1. The leader waits at the goal
2. Competitors head to the starting point with the referee giving the start signal.
3. After arriving at the starting point. The content of the message is announced.
4. All competitors start at once on the referee's signal.
5. If the competitors are to take turns at the relay, they will be separated in the middle of 2.
"It's pretty simple."
"Father. Can the people who came with us use [that thing]?"
No problem there.
"The mechanism itself is simple, and we've got guys with good eyesight, so we'll be fine. The fact that we're going in with a running dragon is part of the strategy."
Looking behind the carriage, there are about 20 people with running dragons following us.
"Is the running dragon part of the strategy?"
"Yeah, I don't want anyone to know about [that]."
I've heard it's a sacred event, but I can't say for certain that there will be no interference.
There are always people who will do anything underhanded to win.
"At the very least, we'll have them think that we have no chance of winning. It's easier to take down a guy who's off his guard."
--------
Then when it became noon
In front of us was a gate as big as the one in the Royal Capital
"It's huge..."
Wince looks up
What is most surprising is that this is not the capital of the country.
It is a commercial city jointly ruled by several central states.
"But it doesn't have the skyscrapers of Tokyo, does it?"
"Tokyo?"
"Nothing. More than that, it's outside the walls."
The side of the gate
A little further away, a wooden structure was being assembled.
"According to the information, this seems to be the goal of the event..."
"That's right. You study hard."
While I was looking at the structure being assembled, I was approached by a man.
He was about my height.
A clean-cut, well-dressed man in his 30s with a slight beard.
"Excuse me. I'm Barbatt, a viscount of the Principality of Orario."
"From the Kingdom of Berdreich. I am Shiro, Count Edgeworth. Today..."
"Kuhahaha!"
My words were drowned out by the sound of laughter.
"No, excuse me, excuse me. I had heard you were a male prostitute of the previous king, but what a barbaric-looking man you are!"
This guy was trying to pick a fight right off the bat.
That's a statement that would normally cause an international issue.
But I don't use violence
I'm more afraid of Wince and Sedona.
Their murderous intent is maxed out at once
"I’m not a male prostitute. It's a position I won on merit."
"I see, the Far North is having a hard time to the extent that they have to rely on snobbish people like you."
Yeah, patience, patience.
I can do it
I'm a patient guy.
"And who are those two?"
"My wives."
"I see, I see"
Barbatt won't stop laughing
"They are very beautiful women. Shall we make a deal, Edgeworth?"
Even if it's a foreign country, that's not the language a viscount would use to a Count.
"If you lose this event..."
"What do you get in return?"
"Will you give me those two?"
"That's impossible. Absolutely impossible."
If there is a war with the Principality of Orario, his family will be exterminated by me.
"Hmph, I see. Then let's get serious this time. At best, I hope you get beaten and make a big embarrassment out of it."
There was a running dragon ahead of that line of sight
Apparently, It seemed he had fallen for it.
That night, we took an inn instead of sleeping on the carriage.
Unfortunately, all the luxurious places that the nobility would take were already occupied.
"Well, it's better to find a place where we can all stay together comfortably."
I slept in the same inn as the soldiers who came with me
Please don't call me poor
At least call me a money saver
