Noble Reincarnation~Blessed With the Strongest Power From Birth

The next day I also took Zoe and came to the store.

My seat was also conveniently vacant on this day.

I laughed heartily at the matter, but I kept listening to Alice's song without even giving it away for a bite.

'Connected' with Zoe in anticipation of the performance going on and most of the guests paying attention to Alice.

"Can you hear me?

'Yes, sir...... is that it?

I normally turned this way, and normally replied, Zoe.

But soon I notice something strange.

'My voice... isn't it my own?

'No, that fits. The human voice sounds different from the ears of others.'

"I see? Oh, it sounds very clear"

Zoe looks around, twinkling like that.

In the shop where Alice sings, most voices are cancelled out by the singing to make it difficult to hear.

In fact, when the clerk comes and takes an order or something, he talks louder than usual in his ear, with enough momentum to yell half the time.

Nonetheless, I find it strange that my interactions with me usually sound clear.

"Have you ever played on a yarn phone?

'Yes, I do...'

"You can think of it as a transparent yarn phone, using fluff"

Technically, it's a little more complicated, but I don't even need to explain it that far.

"I see... your husband's mouth is not moving"

'Cause only those who are tied with thread can hear each other, and I can talk without moving my own mouth.'

'That's a secret story. Exactly, Your Majesty (,)'

Zoe immediately understood the benefits of this move. At the same time, I changed the way I called it (back).

That's the thing.

Sounds and voices are usually transmitted on air.

Like a yarn phone, you can also tell on things.

That's why you can hear the distant noises with your ears on the ground.

I used fuzz. I only hear this with people I connect with because I eliminate air and only communicate my voice with invisible threads.

It's already a one-ranked anti eavesdropper, more than soundproofing magic.

"Did you tell them?

"Yes, when His Majesty told me that he liked Mr. Allice and would stay for a while, he looked terribly disgusted."

"Right, I see. Then it'll be easier. '

"Easy, is it?

Sometimes I've been able to have a sense of secrecy, and I usually tell Zoe not to do that where she puts her neck, but just wonder at her gaze.

'If this one doesn't move, the other one's in a hurry. Zoe, who do you think is in a hurry about this?

'Uh... Your Majesty... you don't have to rush'

I nodded.

I asked her questions using the situation to raise her, but she understood brilliantly.

'That's right. The phenomenon of salt taxes is, so to speak, a chronic imperial nest. Things don't make that big of a move if we don't fix it now'

But as long as His Majesty is here, you can't sell it.

'Yes, blackmailing every city, turning it into a big deal and showing it, it costs money, of course, and at the same time income stops. If you think the empire has gone into the nostalgia of a whole bunch of reduced salt taxes, it just stopped for a day, and suddenly the loss craps 100,000 Leannes'

"Not so......"

Zoe was stunned.

I mean, from a maid of honor, it's a lot of money to lose words.

'That's why. If the rest doesn't move, the other one moves out in a hurry. So you just have to relax for the rest. "

'I see! That's right, Your Majesty!

I smile at Zoe and throw a sip of booze, a knob, into a slice.

'But... one hundred thousand... That much money, I can't forgive you. After it's all brightened up, you have to execute it.'

……

I didn't answer.

I know what Zoe says, so does that feeling.

But human beings are more likely to be used alive than dead.

If they created a system to plunder so much tax from the Empire, they'd have to be good and flexible...

People are treasures, and possibilities.

I wish I could be good and flexible.

With that in mind, listen to the song, carry the liquor to your mouth, and pretend to be enjoying it.

The clerk brought in a new dish.

I picked that again and put it in my mouth - the moment.

……

I'll take my time.

Like a doll with a broken thread, he stuck it on the table.

"He- Your husband!?

I can hear Zoe screaming from overhead.

"Your husband! Master!?

He shakes his body, touches the tip of his nose and his chest one after another.

"He's dead...?

In a store where all the guests are gone.

I was put to sleep on the floor.

With his eyes closed, he is standing ear to ear.

"Is he dead right?

"Yes. As you can see, my heart's stopped."

"Which"

The voice of the first man to be heard and the voice of the clerk.

A man's ear hit my chest.

"You're certainly dead. Oh, I should have done something like this."

"Oh, you know. We are…"

"Don't worry, we won't do anything wrong. This store is already tatami. I'll give you a shop on the other side of town that has twice as many of these."

"Oh, thank you!

I see. That's the reward for poisoning me.

"Um..."

Now I heard Zoe.

"What? You want money."

"No, let me take your husband's body."

"Ah?

"I'm the one who took care of you for a long time. At least I want to mourn with this hand"

"Whatever you want."

After the man laughed with his nose, a footstep was made and it gradually went away.

Apparently, he went outside the store.

A little late for that, I had anxious footsteps, and that kept me away, too.

Looks like the clerk went into the back of the store.

Looks like there's no one around, then.

"You know exactly what I mean."

"Because Your Majesty can't be poisoned."

When I opened my thin eyes, Zoe was on my side, closing her eyes and putting her hands together, posing as if she were praying.

Well, this goes hand in hand with the fact that I can't hear you, and you seem to be silently praying to me.

Let's do it.

'Your majesty has an apopis on him. There is no way His Majesty will die from the poison available to humans around here.'

"Oh, the poison neutralized with apopis"

'Yes...... but what stopped your heart?

'It's fuzzy too. Touch your forehead.'

"Yes... oh, my heartbeat"

"I made something there to replace my heart and make it a temporary substitute. My heart's stopped, but now I'm bleeding, so nothing's wrong. '

"Until that happens... it's amazing... Your Majesty"

Zoe looked heartfelt, impressed.

'Your Majesty. What will you do now?

'Cause you did good, I'm gonna get on with it'

"Me?

"Oh. Send the rest of it to the crematorium and go to the fire."

"... it's Bahamut"

'Oh. I have Bahamut, so I can't help the rest with a flame of about cremation. You'd better let me burn once you're completely off guard over there. "

'Exactly, Your Majesty. Okay.'

"Then you leave this city."

"Don't you have to be without me?

Amazing Zoe.

'Oh, it's a play to deceive the other side. Get away from me normally, you don't have to go back. You can usually travel back to the capital until I hear from you. "

"Okay."

Zoe nodded, away from me.

From a distance and in detail, I hear Zoe asking the clerk about the means of carrying the body and the location of the crematorium.

I kept pretending to be dead.

This pretence of death using fluff is not otherwise difficult or anything.

It's a yarn phone, not a lot of trouble compared to putting your voice on just there.

Instead, it was harder to forgive the beautiful (,) Leviathan when I realized that my dish had been poisoned.

――

I still have half a guillette Leviathan.

This crazy, loyal dog won't allow anyone to harm me.

Earlier, if you're even a little distracted, you're about to lose the neck of that man who confirmed my death.
