My sister and I moved around the world until I unified the continent to protect my sister.

On the map, in a situation where the Third Prince is clearly in his favor, Eina looks amused to get the pen to my question, which he dares to ask which one he thinks will win.

"If the question is which is in your favor, you said the Third Prince at 8: 2 from the number of troops you can mobilize and concentrate on, but if you win, you have a 60% chance to say the Second Prince."

Listella said, "Huh? 'I see Eina with a look like that. I'll watch the rest of the conversation while I sip the tea my sister brewed for me.

"How do you say you bounce back such an overwhelming disadvantage? I told you it was four times the strength difference."

"Here's what I'm gonna do."

Eina takes a pen with green ink and paints the vast white of the southwest green.

"If this happens, the force difference is 8: 5. Moreover, the Duke of Barna, the leader of the Third Prince's faction, will have to pay for both the north and the west."

"... that may be true, but even if we point our forces west against the increased 3, it's not 5: 2 if reinforcements don't come to the Second Prince either. The Second Prince is still at a disadvantage."

"Exactly, here's what we'll do"

Eina starts putting the net wire in blue ink where it is painted with the black net wire on the map.

The area of blue and green on the map increases, surpassing red......

"If this happens, there will be three armies in the south, and the Second Prince will prevail at 5: 7 around the king's capital."

"... you say you move the King's Army!? But now the official prince is the third prince."

"Exactly. The whole army won't be able to do it, though. The current Minister of Military Affairs is the younger brother of the current king, but he has received his rightful wife from the Duke of Pharos family, a potential second prince, who does not think very well of the expansion of the forces of the Duke of Barna family. The House of the Duke of Pharos will not move in neutrality, but vice versa, even Lord Pharos will walk in unison."

"... a little 60% is a chance of drawing the Duke of Pharos family into the Second Prince?

"Exactly. The Duke of Faros was cordial with the same southern aristocratic Duke of Barna until his predecessors, but has been alienated since he turned into the contemporary Lord. One reason is the great ambition of the present Lord Barna. The other is because the current Lord Faros is a changer."

"The weirdo?"

"Yes. Amelia Faros, the contemporary Lord Faros, has never shown up in the King's Capital since she succeeded him four years ago. Even the greetings of the inauguration of the principals were falsely deputized for as ill. Few of the people who have seen him will be in the capital."

You just said 'fake it' clearly.

I'm starting to wonder, so let's join the conversation.

"Mr. Eina. Why is that person even lying and pulling into territory?

I'm not interested as an ex-gratia.

"According to the story of a native of the Duke of Pharos, who is at the Royal School, he is a large free man. You are smart and very competent as a lord, but that's why you seem to have an intolerable sexual ability to talk to someone who is less smart than you. Conversely, if you are the person you are interested in, you can use it heavily, regardless of your identity or area of expertise. Even those in the Royal School of Higher Education said they weren't suitable for glasses, so it must be pretty good."

I see. People like that would hate to come to Wang Capital and say hello and socialize.

"But if you're such a person, isn't it nice not to tie you to the House of the Duke of Barna, but it's also hard to draw you to your side? If you're a Duke, you'll be allowed to be neutral."

"You're right. So you're questioning the ability of the messenger to stand in negotiations. I hear it's Eina Parklen."

Even the name of the messenger, Aina, is that just too familiar? And that's the name you heard somewhere, Eina Parklen............ Eina Parklen!?

"... Eina, do you know anyone besides someone with a family name named Parklen, Eina and Reina?

"You don't know it among the living."

Right, in this country, the person with the last name is rare in the first place.

"Hey, why is Eina a messenger?

"Now, you will not know that unless you ask the Count Negroste family that has made the request. But even for me, I was interested in Lord Faros, so I took it on."

... You've taken on such a big role just because you were interested... From what I've just told you, it's the most important task to decide whether to win or lose this battle.

"... do you have a chance of a successful negotiation?

"Like I said, it's like 60%. I'm somewhat proud to be smart, but I don't know if I can be of interest to the Duke. In the first place, a civilian who is not a member of the Count's family stands as a messenger to the Duke's family, so it's not a strange case to be accused of being disrespectful and committing death on the spot."

Eina is the smartest person I've ever seen... By the way, I think the pharmacist would be the smartest one to include the elves.

Neither does Eina think she's just going to be killed all of a sudden, but it's too dangerous. The Counts have often decided to send Eina... although it is likely to attract the interest of strangers...

Mr. Listella opens her mouth with a confused voice as much as she can for a while as the venue is wrapped in subtle silence.

"... Oh, uh, what? Should I follow you to Count Negroste's house?

"That depends on Yoichi. I have a second princess, a third princess, and I have a hand in keeping me strong no matter which way I win."

With that said, Eina will look at this one. Mr. Listella, and for some reason, Kaori. The sight of the three of us concentrates on me...

"Uh... Mr. Listella, how long can you postpone your response to the solicitation?

"I thought I'd have to get back to you in a few days at the latest"

Whoa, then it's too late to see if you can successfully pull in the Duke of Pharos house. The Duke's residence seems to be a tread he's been to before, but even in a hurry, it seems to be 15 days each way...

Then the choice would almost be one already.

"... ok. Then let's all go to Count Negroste's house. Mr. Listella, is that all right?

"Yeah, I don't mind. If Eina's with you, she's reliable, and enough to keep her life. We'd rather be together if we were to be ruined."

That's what Listella, thick of friendship, says thoughtfully. Oh, Mr. Eina's turning a little lit up. Mr. Reina, it's very valuable to be able to see Eina like this outside of her opponent.

"In case you lose, leave the mine behind. That's Kings territory for once, and the nobility nearby is like a third prince, so you should make some donations and make an ally appeal. Mr. Listella, when you're done clearing the purchase price, please declare that you're out of touch with the mine."

"I see, I understand."

Once the policy has been decided, Listella's expression is full of willingness as sunshine. I suppose there are times when you fight with Eina, and you're on the side of a small force that has a lot of fruit when you win.

Mr. Listella opens his mouth after thinking about it for a while.

"When it comes to being hostile to the Third Prince, you have to increase your security. I'm sorry, Yoichi, but is it possible for you to turn around about 20% of the sales of the pharmacy?

"Yeah, that's fine."

"Thank you. Eina, how long is this disturbance going to last?

"It won't be that long, will it? It's a long, few months, because when the current king dies, it's time to decide to win or lose. We do not know how long it will take to reach a settlement, but both sides know that, if prolonged, it will invite the intervention of neighbouring countries, so we should figure out (yes) a short-term showdown. I think we'll probably have everything cleared up within six months. If it's going to be any longer, you should be more worried about this country's demise than you are about which one wins."

That's the hardest part. I'll insure you to figure it out whichever way you win, but if you're conquered by another country, it's all ruined.

"Eina, faster than that assumption. What are the chances, for example, that a king will be killed or a second prince murdered will speed up the war?

"I'm not saying there isn't at all, but it must be thin. The Third Prince doesn't have to be so unscrupulous that he thinks victory will roll in if things are carried naturally like this, so there's no reason to risk it."

"I see, I'm relieved. So you have time to go and convince the Duke of Faros. When are you leaving?

"It's still pending. I'm thinking of offering something to the Duke, but I can't think of a good product. Don't you know anything about Yoichi?

A gift……. Something smart and intelligent curiosity would make a strong person happy. Is there anything...?

Think of something that was in the previous world that could be reproduced in this world as well......

"Oh, yeah! What about hot air balloons? I thought it would have a strong appearance and a good distracting effect."

"What is a hot air balloon......?

Listella, of course, looks strange, as does Eina. It should have been around the time of the French Revolution in the previous world, but it doesn't seem to exist in this medieval world.

"Here's the thing, when you're under a light bag and you're burning (or burning) fire and sending heat, it rises fuzzy. Big things allow humans to fly in the sky."

... Is that it? Listella and Eina are looking at me with their eyes that seem to smell so waxy. No, really?
