Reincarnation in Another World Starting from Bones ~The Bare Hero Rise from a Skeleton (WN): Chapter 367

 

Infrastructure and Processing



"Charles V, is the Frankish Kingdom going to attack!"



 I ask Shiro.



"It’s impossible for the Frankish Kingdom to do it on its own!


 The country's finances must be under strain due to the huge amount of compensation paid to the Duchy of Sussex!"


"So you think it's possible for a Crusade?"


"It’s quite possible!


 The Vatican is also divided between the Ancestor supremacist faction and the Vatican supremacist faction that says the Vatican is the headquarters of vampires!"


"I see, the Ancestor supremacist faction won’t move, but the Vatican supremacist faction might make a move?"


"Well, until now, to the Kingdom of Britain,


 [Don't talk about the Ancestor without permission and don't be overbearing when the Ancestor is in hiding!]


 The Ancestor Supremacist faction also attacked the Kingdom of Britain, but now that the Ancestor they worship has appeared, it seems that the Ancestor Supremacist faction in the Vatican will follow the Kingdom of Britain!"



 Shiro briefly explains.



"So, what do the Vatican factions plan to do?"


"They're so eager! As for the Vatican faction, they wouldn't want any more strange sects to come out and undermine the authority of the Vatican!"


"So, the Holy Roman Empire, which seems to have strong influence from the Vatican, will move?"


"As expected of Master, you are studying!"


"Are you an idiot? Your knowledge is just my memory!


 Everything you know, I know too!"


"That's right. Master speaks in a childish way, so I can't help but think you're an idiot!


 Your memory was a genius!


 Since you're already the king of a country, I think it's time to start talking like a proper adult!


 The Duchy of Sussex is basically a country with a lot of freedom, including free s*x, harems, and cannibalism, but if the king is too free, the people will worry about whether it's okay!"


"My way of speaking cannot be cured!


 Maybe it's because I was a brainless skeleton for so long that I got used to the stupid way of talking!


 Actually, this way of speaking is more stylish now!"



 I tell her how I feel all at once.



"Well, I've only ever heard that way of speaking, so I guess it makes me uncomfortable to suddenly hear Master speak like an intelligent person!"


"Don’t say it’s uncomfortable!"


"The current master is looking good!"


"That's right!"



 Perhaps because he had been without brains for a long time, Cedric quickly forgot what had happened before when he received praise.



 And although Shiro thought about him as a chore, she doesn't hate her master and thinks he's cute.




 ーーーー




"Cedric-san! Thank you for your continued patronage!"



 Anne-chan's younger brother, Jonen-san, the prince of the Dwarf Kingdom, came to talk to me about the fortification of the Duchy of Normandy and Brittany.



"Because of you, the compensation that the Frankish kingdom gave is taken!"



 I complain as usual.



"Well, normally you don't cover the whole country with a fort.


 Also, I personally can't imagine Sussex shouldering the infrastructure costs of another country!"


"It can't be helped! If you incorporate it into your own country, like the Empire of Japan, you will be hated after losing the war!"



 Jonen-san, who is an expert on Japan, relentlessly uses Japanese history as an analogy, thinking that he will probably be able to get the message across.



"If that’s the case, then wouldn’t it be okay if we didn’t have to shoulder the infrastructure costs?"


"This is necessary in order to fulfill Shiro-san's ambition to conquer the world!


 World conquest will not come true without raising the strength of the vassal countries!"


 However, I still think it's strange for the Duchy of Sussex to pay for it.


 Don't you normally receive taxes from your vassal countries?"


"That’s why I’m paying my respects so well that I’m officially lending money to the Duchy of Normandy!"


"I see, they are soaked in debt, and they do what they are told to do!"



 Jonen-san seems to have finally agreed.


 What Shiro and I are aiming for is a federal system like Britain.


 It's like building a Sussex Commonwealth, ruling loosely, and leaving influence in each country.


 In the preface, we make them take on a huge amount of debt and make them absolutely unable to resist.



"Ah. That’s the thing! If we build infrastructure for free, people will complain later that they were robbed of their culture, even though it was more developed in the past!


 Make sure to keep records of your debts!"


"What are you talking about?"


"It’s about a history on Earth!"


"I don't really understand, but it's hard to spend 1 trillion euros on infrastructure and then get people to complain..."


"Huh? 1 trillion euros? Isn't that more than the compensation we got from the Frankish kingdom?"



 I tilted my head.



"It's okay! Britney-sama will make up for what's missing!"


"Why would Britney pay for it?"


"I wonder? But she said something like, [Now Shiro is mine!]?"



 Jonen-san strikes a cat pose and imitates Britney's voice.



"Damn it! Britney. Are you trying to take Shiro away from me?


 I can't believe she's going to use Country C's tactics of lending money to African countries and stealing their land in return for the debt...


 Without Shiro, I can't change my clothes, do laundry, or wipe my ass after taking a poop!"


"Cedric-san. Are you letting Shiro-san do all the dirty work?


 Are you already elderly!"



 Jonen-san chided in with a bit of reluctance.


 I'm sure he thinks of me as a naughty father who is completely dependent on his little girl to take care of him.



"Tch... that's not right. She does it on his own... Once I got used to it, it became normal!"



 Desperately, I make excuses.



"This is serious… I think it would be better for Cedric-san to stay away from Shiro-san!


 In my opinion, Cedric-san's dependence on Shiro-san has reached a dangerous level!


 I know quite a few people, but when they marry a woman with a high income, the number of husbands who become complacent and stop working increases!


 Probably the same thing!"


"No! I’m not that kind of pimp!


 Actually, Shiro is not my wife!"



 I desperately tried to make excuses to Jonen-san who had a misunderstanding.
