「I’m in trouble」
On the next day of the meeting. Kazuya was talking about such a thing in one of the rooms in the royal palace.
Oi, is this serious?…….
Queen Isabella had interrupted the meeting and proposed marriage between Iris and Karen. Since then, Chitose’s mood had dropped abruptly.
However, this was not the only reason why Chitose was upset. Various nobles and wealthy merchants had sent their daughters and grand-daughters to try and get more acquainted with Kazuya and possibly become concubines. They were approaching him rather aggressively as well.
Chitose’s bad mood aside. After this, many dignitaries from the neighbouring countries will be joining in a party to commemorate the alliance between the Canary kingdom and Parabellum
「President. You came」
「I see. Enter」
Subordinates of the monster allied powers were guarding the entrance and exit to the room. Upon seeing Kazuya, they opened the door.
「Excuse me」
As I entered, I saw a man of around primary school height also entering the room. However, upon closer inspection, he seems to be an adult dwarf.
「Here you go」
As he prompts Kazuya to sit down, the dwarf begins to introduce himself.
「It is a pleasure to meet you President Nagato, Vice-President Chitose. I am Marquis Oliver Grego」(TLN: Changed from excellency to president if you haven’t noticed xD)
The man called Oliver Grego began to rush to speak, with a bitter look.
「I’ll just get right to it. Does President Kazuya know that the imperial army is also invading our country? 」
「Oh, well I have heard something about that…..」
「I see….ah, onto the main subject. Could you also form an alliance with our country?」(TLN: I think I mentioned this before. One of the countries surrounding the Canary kingdom is a monster one)
「So in short, you want me to send reinforcements?」
「….yes, that’s right, because the monster army has suffered enormous damages. The imperial army can easily invade with the new weapons they’ve developed. In order to send them away, I need the help of the president…」
「……what new weapons?」
The Marquis saw that Kazuya was showing interest and so disclosed important information.
「Yes. 2 new weapons. One is a magic weapon and the other is a doll automata. There seems to be several other-worlders in the imperial army」
Wait just a moment!! Are there really that many other-worlders in the empire?
Listening to the Marquis talk, Kazuya realised there were more other-worlders than he previously thought.
The marquis continued his talk.
「The soldiers morale also keeps falling, as they keep getting injured fighting against this one devil other-worlder calling himself a hero….」
Devil!?….well, there is such a thing as monsters…..(TLN: Is he even listening?)
「While I’m speaking like this, the Empire is slaughtering my brothers!! Please help!!」
Kazuya answers, whilst being confused at the Marquis who has left is seat and is currently kneeling with his head down.
「…..we will send an army to annihilate the Imperial Army in the Monster Kingdom」
「Is that true!?」
「Ah, but the organisation of troops and full scale deployment could take some time. It should take about 1 to 2 months, is that ok?」
「That’s fine. If you send reinforcements, we’ll be saved」
「Is that so….I want some detailed information on the enemy first. So I’ll send several scout units first ahead of time. I don’t want to become disadvantaged due to lack of information」
Well, I’m mainly interested in seizing the magic weapons and automata anyway.
「I don’t mind…..」
Marquis Oliver says with an unpleasant complexion.
「Uh……with that, your excellency. What should we pay you for your consideration?」
…..for our consideration, well if you say it like that, it can’t be helped…..
「Umm. I want water that burns」
Kazuya accidentally spilled those words. However, he was surprised at the Marquis reply.
「Burning water?…….where do we get that?」
「….you don’t have it?」
「Well. There are some springs that produce burning water in the monster kingdom. I think it was called……black water? 」(TLN: Ok, he’s talking about oil)
Kazuya and Chitose involuntarily stare at each other.
「Well, uh. The burning water is certainly called that」
I should say this….I don’t really have to worry about fuel due to my ability. However, It’s bad to keep the stockpile for too long. So I need a constant supply. (TLN: Remember, there are times when he can’t use his ability. If the fuel he has stockpiled becomes unusable, he is screwed)
Kazuya’s cheeks began to loosen at the thought of an oil field.
「I’ll have to confirm it first」
「Is such a thing really ok?」
The Marquis was confused, nobody uses black water because it has no uses.
Although it was not a final decision. They decided to discuss the contents of the alliance for now.
After Kazuya and the Marquis left the room. Kazuya ordered the immediate sortie of the special forces, to the Marquis relief. They then went back and enjoyed the party.
