Tanaka family, reincarnated.

What do you mean, Carlos?

Joshua doubts his ears.

"That's why the Empire has recently invested in strengthening its army."

Scouts scattered across countries by the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce.

Suddenly, he was recalled by a man named Carlos who was in the Empire.

Tall, carved face.

He plays without tying his long curly olive hair.

"The army... is not against monsters?You know what I'm saying. "

In any country, the organization against monsters is not called an army.

Hunters for kingdoms and samurai for empires.

"I know, that much.I know, so I'm reporting it now.The Empire is investing in strengthening the army. "

Carlos combs his own hair while showing off his good tricks for nothing.

"I fly iron balls on a black-painted ship that disappears in the middle of the night... a cannon?What kind of noisy stuff is that? "

What the hell are you going to attack with a weapon on your ship... when Carlos leans his neck to say that there are no monsters in the sea.

"The Empire is finally moving to invade some country."

Joshua puts into words the concern he felt thinly.

Carlos' report was a decisive blow to the point where he was carefully gathering information because it was likely to become a reality just by saying it.

"Invasion………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………"

[Invasion] is a word originally used between monsters and humans.

The monster breaks the border and invades the land inhabited by humans.

Humans spread their boundaries with the magic of wizards, invading monster habitats.

Talking about humans invading human lands... Carlos can't even imagine.

"I can't help it, right? Humans are animals.It is possible that your herd will attack other herds in order to survive.However, it just didn't happen until now because the flock and the flock are too far apart..... "

Joshua replies with a scary face that Emma will never see.

"Isn't every country still far away?For centuries, the country and the country have lived together without contention... suddenly... why... "

The women of the kingdom are beautiful, the women of the empire are affectionate, and the women of Baritou are healing... every country is so different, everyone is wonderful.

Fighting is such a thing...

Scout Carlos, who has been seated at the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce for many years, knows that Joshua is better than anyone else.

If Joshua had anticipated a future like hell, it would have happened in reality.

But I don't want to believe that such a future will come.

"The country is far away, but ironically, the improvement in shipbuilding technology has narrowed the distance.I was able to travel from country to country faster than I used to be.The ship grew, and the load increased dramatically. "

You can carry enough soldiers and weapons to invade a country.

"Why should the Empire invade in the first place!?An empire that has the largest area in the world and has never run out of wizards! "

The Empire is the only country that has always had wizards in its history.

An Empire Scout appears as soon as a Wizard appears in an island country or a small country.

There are no monsters in island states surrounded by the sea.

Many countries think that the Empire's support is more flavorful than the wizard's if even the borders can be strengthened in small countries.

With the power of wizards gathered from all over the world, the Empire grew bigger than anywhere else.

"Maybe the Magic Stone was cut..."

Joshua answers the disturbing Carlos.

A Magic Stone is needed to build a boundary to prevent monsters from entering.

If you don't use magic stones that can store magic, the wizards will always continue to use borderline magic.

However, even though he is a wizard, he is a [person].

You'll have to sleep and eat for three days.

"... Magic Stone? Will the country invade the country for such a thing?"

The value of magic stones is unknown compared to the importance of wizards.

The appearance of wizards is irregular, and their magic has a huge impact on people, but magic stones are nothing but stones without wizards.

Without magic, it will never shine as beautiful as a jewel.

"I will, or the country will perish.There are too many people in the kingdom who don't know the importance of magic stones, especially due to the long absence of wizards.And from the perspective of the Empire, you think there are still a lot of magic stones in the kingdom where wizards have been absent for a long time. "

"Ha!? What country is the Empire trying to invade... here?What? A kingdom? "

Carlos was surprised when he was suddenly told that the invasion he thought was about other people was about his own country.

"Perhaps it's better to say you're invading than trying to..."

Joshua answers calmly everywhere.

Miss Juana must have gone to the treasure trove in the royal castle to find out where the Magic Stone is.

After the invasion, we'll be able to get it smoothly.

"But the problem is there are almost no magic stones left in the kingdom anymore."

When the previous wizard appeared, the aristocrats rose up and ran out.

Precious magic stones for your appearance.

"Hah!? That's... that's a loss!?I will tell the Empire now!There are no magic stones in the kingdom, so don't invade! "

"Yeah, I don't think you'll believe me.If you use the word "invasion" first, they'll take your fried feet, so you should stop. "

Joshua forgives Carlos because he is as good at putting on Ichamon as a piece of crap.

"But then what do we do... if the enemy is an Empire, we won't win?"

Carlos, an Imperial scout, despairs.

Because the difference is too large.

A country with wizards and a country without wizards... it simply separates technology for a hundred or two hundred years.

The kingdom without the energy of a wizard is primitive from the perspective of the Empire.

The Imperials have pride in us being at the heart of the world.

It may seem arrogant from the edge, but it is not always wrong for the weaker countries.

The Empire is using food and technology as shields to rob wizards and interfere in politics.

Even the kingdom after the Empire is shielded by the supply of cotton.

If you are really invaded, there is no way against the kingdom.

Speaking of which, is the Chamber of Commerce okay?I only come back to the kingdom once in a while, but this is the first time I have no customers in the store. "

Though excellent, Carlos reflects on the fact that he asked young Joshua about the fate of the kingdom.

Even if Joshua's expectations are fulfilled, there is nothing a merchant can do.

This is something that the royal family, the Knights and the nobles should think about, and the merchant has a job as a merchant.

"... well, the fact that I didn't buy cotton from the Empire this year resonates.Even if you say you can't sell anything without it, there are many persistent aristocrats.The shops in Kuomin are doing well, but this way. "

Otherwise, ordinary people buy linen underwear.Emma's popularity is also strong. Revenue in Kunmen is not much different from usual years.

However, this shop in the shopping district is crowded with idle birds.

Because I didn't put down my cotton underwear, the noisy cramer pushed me to the store every day, and other customers left.

No one buys silk underwear instead of cotton.

And it was painful that Emma's popularity was shaded in a school attended by nobles.

It may be the first time that Joshua settles his deficit in a store entrusted to his father.

"Isn't that strange? No Empire noble lady wears cotton underwear, but the kingdom is more believable?"

"What is it, Carlos? Tell me more about what we're talking about."

Joshua's eyes shine on the story of Yota that Carlos said to calm the serious atmosphere.

"Oops? Young man is a young man, too.The women of the Empire are very aggressive, right?Inviting someone to a seat in alcohol also increases the chance of dropping it..... "

"No, underwear."

Frustration and Joshua stare at Carlos.

"Hehe. You're young, aren't you?On the contrary, I'm relieved.That's right. There's no way a healthy teenager can't catch up with underwear. "

Carlos suddenly smiled inferiorly at the end of the country and when he was just talking about work.

…………

"From the young baroness to the widow of the baroness, underwear is silk.I love to take it off while teasing, so I'm sure of it.That touch is silk.Well, from Palace in the Kingdom to Imperial, the quality was pinky, right?Also, the children of ordinary people have seen a lot of cotton lately with hemp and wool.... "

Unexpectedly Joshua listens seriously to the story of underwear, so Carlos becomes a rapper.

"Huh? Milord... maybe it was the underwear fetish?"

"It wasn't in the periodic report. That's the information."

"Huh? Well, I didn't know you liked underwear that much... eh?Can you tell me the color and the size?Or can I write a picture? "

"I don't need that."

"Huh? (... it's hard to say someone else's sexuality.Where the hell is it stuck in your underwear?Milord, you don't have to be such a niche at this age... you don't have to work too hard...) Um, please tell me for the after-school.Is the underwear that the young man is concerned about?Or downstairs? "

"It's up and down, isn't it?"

"I see, I love you up and down without splitting up... is that true?"

"So, when did you lose your cotton underwear?Does the Empire get new underwear once a year? "

"Eh? That's why cotton underwear was originally as common as everybody else, and all the nobles were silk.Like the kingdom, it doesn't seem like there's a total change after a social season.It is better to hold the Imperial silk for three months.I can't afford Palace products for more than a year.Well, I don't know how long it will last, because most women find out that they've been having an affair for over two years. "

Carlos became more and more afraid of Joshua's serious face, and in the second half he chatted until he didn't want to talk much sooner.

I can't believe my young husband was such a pervert.

I've known it since I was a kid, but I'm a little shocked.

"... what about the church? Do you know the material of the nuns' underwear?"

"Ooh? Oh no! No matter how much I love girls, I've reached out to nuns...Yeah, about three. They were all palace silk, and unexpectedly there were many flashy colors. "

"I don't care about the color."

"Oh, oh, yeah, I'm sorry."

I've been seeing a lot of perverts, but I've never seen one so far.

Carlos was impressed that he was still alive.

◆ ◆ ◆

I was slightly aware that the Church had spread the teaching that underwear was made of cotton for the benefit of the Empire.

However, according to Carlos' report, the Empire still lacks cotton.....

However, I thought I only brought crude cotton to embarrass the kingdom...

Does the Empire have enough stock to spare even magic stones to grow cotton?

It is more likely that a ship with weapons and Imperial forces will appear in the Kingdom's ports sooner than expected.

I hope this doesn't put Emma-sama in danger...

Joshua breathed deep into the signs of a possible first war in the world.
