Chapter 231

231 . Party, once again 1

“As I thought, it should be five people…” (Mitsuha)

“What should be five people?” (Sabine-chan)

Sabine-chan, who heard Mitsuha murmuring, questioned her .

Right, because Mitsuha usually thinks something pointless at such times .

“Well, Colette-chan, Sabine-chan, and I make three people, right? And, as the candidates for the other two, there are Beatrice-chan, Rephilia, Mitchan No . 2, Princess Gegege… . Well, we can also choose the children in the orphanage, but…” (Mitsuha)

“No, what are you talking about!!” (Sabine-chan)

Sabine-chan was a little frustrated because she didn’t understand what Mitsuha is getting at .

“No, I was thinking about a party or a team, I guess . Something like Mitsuha Girls, Mitsuha’s Angels, or Peace Corps Mitsuranger… . Then, I thought five members are the cliched number after all…” (Mitsuha)

“……” (Sabine-chan)

Sabine-chan looked at Mitsuha with cold eyes suggesting that she was really disappointed…

“I will! I will join you!” (Colette-chan)

Colette-chan jumped from the side and said so .

Right, Colette-chan, who has repeatedly watched [such DVDs and Blu-rays], would never miss such an exciting topic .

However, in contrast to Mitsuha, who was thinking about something like Combat Squad, Colette-chan was thinking about Magical Girl’s kinds of stuff .

If it’s a combat squad, one might be able to imitate it by using firearms . As expected, Mitsuha didn’t seem to be able to use Magic, after all .

…and it appears that Princess Remia of Darrisson Kingdom finally came to be called [Princess Gegege] . And of course, both Colette-chan and Sabine-chan completely ignored it…

Today, after a long absence, I will attend a party in the Kingdom of Vanel .

Since I am more or less the head of a noble family, even though I’m a nobleman of another country, I have to show up in the social circle every now and then . Besides, I have to collect information regularly…

Everyone in the [Society] is still a minor, so they can only be present at birthday parties before their debut . Even if they were present, I can’t use them to gather information for me since they can’t talk to adults from another house .

In my case, even if I’m a minor (or that’s what they think), I can attend normal parties because I’m the head of a noble family and involved in foreign trade, so it’s okay for me to talk to them…

So that’s why I will be attending a party after a long absence . I also want to confirm the reaction of the social circle about the ship’s soul event .

Of course, the [Count of Wonrade and Viscount of Efred] from that time will not appear . I reminded the count who is the organizer just in case . Considering what happened to that count who set me in, I don’t think he would deceive me .

…well, even if they decide to deceive me, I could just run away again . It’s not like they could do any harm to me .

If I say that I want to go to the restroom, or I’ll die if I don’t take a bath or something along the lines, I should have the opportunity to be alone . And then, I would be able to escape using transfer .

…as expected, there’s no way I could disappear by using transfer in public in this country .

Even an idiot would understand that I’ll have to completely cut the connection with the social circles in this country when that happens . Right, in [this country] .

So, it’s unlikely that anyone will pull the trigger and take all the blame .

And so, the party I attended this time is the party of a naval faction, though I chose it without worrying about factions too much .

Of course, even though it’s the party of a naval faction, it doesn’t mean that it is limited to nobles and military officers of the Navy .

It’s just that [the organizer is a navy-oriented noble family, and the invited guests are a little biased toward that direction] . There are also nobles and military officers of the Army, people who aren’t so closely related to such factions, and the great merchants who have received their first title .

…and there’s also Marquis Mitchell .

I chose and attended this party solely by my own decision, completely unrelated to Marquis Mitchell . I looked up the information about the party myself, then gently released the information that [Viscount Yamano seems to want to attend] through the servant route, and the invitation arrived the next day .

It seems that the maid girl who told her employer that [she heard the rumor by chance] from the person I hired was awarded a special bounty of one gold coin and was rolling around on her bed .

Anyway, I have made clear that Marquis Mitchell has been released from the role of [selecting the party where viscount Yamano will attend] .

But, for Marquis Mitchell, it doesn’t mean [one less hassle for him], but rather [he had lost the trust of viscount Yamano], which seems to be a considerable loss in the social world .

Well, it seems the fact that it was because of the King’s evil intention and that the Marquis was not at fault was widely known…

Updated from novelhall[.]com

No, he is at fault! The immediate cause that made me angry is because of the Marquis’s attitude and words!!

Well, I won’t bother to go around spreading that fact, though… He is more or less the father of my friend, after all…

“Viscount Yamano, I see that you have started to attend parties again after a long absence . Have you been well?” (?)

Oh, an acquaintance viscount-san spoke to me . He was a senior officer in the Navy, and he must’ve on a ship before he was on duty in the Royal Capital .

He knew why I was away from the social circle, but he doesn’t touch that topic or try to inquire about the details about the trade goods and talked to me casually . As expected, he’s not a [smart sailor] for nothing…

“Ah, yes, I was just busy traveling around the surrounding countries, helping out with the [Society], and dealing with my sister who came from my home country . My body is healthy!” (Mitsuha)

Even if he’s serving in the military, as long as he’s in the capital, there’s no way he doesn’t know about the [Society] .

“Hou, your sister?” (?)

Ah . I mentioned that just in case someone saw me walking around with Colette-chan and Sabine-chan . And then everyone around me perked up their ears…

No, I think the royal palace and those who are spying on me already know that, about Colette-chan and Sabine-chan, I mean .

And the members of [Society] must’ve told their parents that my sisters are in this country . … I didn’t forbid them to talk about it or anything, after all .

Well, in other words, I let that story to go through .

“Umm, I heard that something called [ship soul] appeared on some ship of the fleet…” (Mitsuha)

“That is right! It was all started when the ship soul appeared for the first time on the distressed ship [Eras], and that soul had the appearance of…” (?)

Aaah, his eyes are shining, and he went into [z speech mode]!!

This is what Oniichan said about [when you carelessly asked someone about something they couldn’t help but to explain in detail] situation!!

…right, this is what they called [stepped on a landmine]…

…he’s talking endlessly .

It’s no longer necessary to confirm the reaction of the higher-ups regarding the ship’s souls .

… I already heard everything .

I think I’m now probably one of the top ten people in this country who knows the most detailed information regarding the [ship souls] . That’s how detailed he explained the whole thing . To the extent that the people around us were all gone before I knew it .

“And the ship soul that appeared on [El Archon] looks like a maid…” (?)

Hii, is he still going on? Someone, help me…

“Viscount Yamano, I have a proposal about the alcohols and cosmetics that you are dealing with…” (?)

Another troublesome thing has come!!

“Viscount Yamano, there is a company that we take care of, won’t you listen about it just once?” (?)

Updated from novelhall[.]com

“Viscount, my daughter seems to be interested in what they call [Society], I wonder if there’s some way for her to join…” (?)

Aaaah, everyone seems to have been waiting for the story of the ship’s souls to end, but when they saw a Count from somewhere interrupted the story, they all rushed to me at once to prevent that count from getting a head start!!

“Viscount, about the jewelry trade…” (?)

“How much is the grain price…”

“Spice…”

“Viscount!”

“Viscount!”

“Viscount!”

“Viscount!”
