Tanaka family, reincarnated.

Simmons Port, the largest port in the Kingdom.

Imperial trading vessels have landed, and personnel of the Rotosylt Chamber of Commerce have been added to the loaded cargo, and unloading is progressing.

"Prince of Tusk, I'm in a ruinous state."

Joshua rushes to the Prince of Tasks as he descends from the ship.

"It's been a long time, Joshua. I just saw an inventory of our support for the Empire. Thank you for the new food and silk."

Just because you defeated Ouata doesn't solve everything.

It is difficult to produce crops quickly in rough fields.

The Stewart family, with their territory on the periphery, knew it well.

Food aid to the Empire was routinely channelled through the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce.

The kingdoms and the Empire are sending ships to each other, and exchanges between nations are going on.

No, we need to be flexible with precious things that you can't buy with gold.

The bulk of the cargo from the Imperial side was magic stone.

It is a valuable stone that can amplify and store the magic of wizards, but it is still mined in large quantities in the Empire without being depleted.

Without this, the boundary will not be maintained.

It was a secret that the number of magic stones flowing to the Rotosylt Chamber of Commerce was much higher than the number of magic stones I had brought as a tribute to the Kingdom.

Joshua's Chamber of Commerce is stricter in storing and controlling merchandise than the state, so it also aims to avoid the misuse of magic stones by aristocrats.

And one more thing in the package.

"Also, thank you for the large number of cat cans." The Stewart cats are delighted. ”

Joshua says thank you with a smile like his own.

Because Equal Emma will be delighted with the cat.

"Um, this...... to Emma......"

The boy who was standing behind the Prince of Tasks came out with an insect basket when Emma's name appeared.

One of the Taloos, who learned Western recipes from Mersa at the Stewart family, is Emma's bug friend Talo Chizawa.

It is commonly known as Miguel because it is difficult to understand the name in the Kingdom.

Miguel and the other four boys who had stayed at the Stewart's house had been chosen as assistants to Prince Tusk because they had learned the Kingdom language, albeit awkwardly.

"... it's been a long time, Miguel-sama."

Joshua's face clouds for a moment when he sees the worm basket that the boy has.

Normally, it is impossible to give your daughter an insect basket (the contents must be insects).

I'm sorry, but this is something Emma would definitely be happy with... "

Although it was brief, Miguel, who lived with Emma (boarding house), quickly got along with [insect], a common topic.

I feel a slight sense of crisis.

"This is a bell. It makes a beautiful wing sound." Imperial Bug "

"I thought you were a bug to your daughter, but it was a bug that Miguel cherished. I would definitely like to give it to Lady Emma in person.”

"... directly?"

The Prince of Tusk's face is only reddened with a pure heart.

"Oh, directly..."

"Oh! Unfortunately, Emma is attending extracurricular classes at the school, and she is not in the King's City while she is staying in the territory that takes days and days."

Joshua replied quickly that neither Task Prince nor Miguel should ever be allowed to see Emma.

"When.....?"

When did Emma play with the Prince of Tusk?

It wasn't just Miguel, but the Prince of Tasks.

"Extra-curricular class?... is that so?"

The Prince of Tusk bewitched behind Joshua, saying that he could not see each other unnaturally and quickly.

Then, the ninja moans and Hughs stationed in the kingdom appeared with a rumbling sound.

He didn't show up, but he was with Joshua as an escort.

"Emma is staying in the Skytree and studying." As expected, Joshua's brother won't tell a lie. "

"Ah, Kola! Hugh, it's disrespectful to Prince Tusk!"

Looking at the stranglehold over Emma, Hugh shrugged his shoulders.

The ninjas are still stationed in the Stewart family and are studying the kingdom's language to take turns doing their natural job of intelligence.

Next to it (rather the main), he made miso and soy sauce, and finally spent time using Hugh's ninja magic guide.

When I heard that I couldn't see Emma, Prince Tusk and Miguel had a plain, depressed face.

Everything the Stewart family left behind, delaying their return to the devastated lands by Ouatta, was impressed as they continued to focus on reconstruction after their return.

The land bumped up by the fall of the seeds is flattened by the cat.

For the people who lost their homes, they built a new house with fragments of Ouatta.

Food support, effective use of canned food, and introduction of monster food.

The empire, which was on the brink of perishing, was being reconsidered.

It all came from the idea of a girl.

Thirteen years old.

A girl as young as thirteen saved the country.

Isn't there anyone more worthy of the Empress of the Empire?

"... Prince Tusk? Are you thinking of something ominous?"

Joshua can't hide his impatience with the unpleasant feeling coming from his spine.

I really wanted to keep Emma's charm hidden in the Palace.

However, Joshua's desire separates Emma from her family.

It can't be done.

The stupidest thing in the world is taking Emma's smile away.

Come on, Joshua.

If you go out to the King's City, it is not expected that Emma's charm will be revealed.

To put it mildly, there is no man whose heart is not taken away by an angelic girl.

Then you should be the best man of them all.

Whether it's a prince, a prince, or a worm friend, there's no shortage for the opponent, right?

"Hmph"

Joshua inspires himself and laughs unstoppably.

"Hmph"

The task prince also raises his lips belligerently.

"Hmph"

Miguel laughed again.

Although it was the most unfavorable position, the firm status of Bug Friend could not be easily established.

”” ”Fufufufufufu” ”

The three continued to laugh in unison.

No, I'm scared.

Hugh muttered to himself in a strange sight.

Prince of Tasks!

A new ninja appeared suddenly.

How did it go?

The task prince squeezed his mouth and asked the ninja.

That ship is carrying a lot of noise, isn't it?

A new ninja, Hatari Hanzou shows the ships lined up next to the Imperial Trading Ship with his jaws.

It was a ship from the Empire that had friends of the First Prince Maximilian on board.

It's been a while since we got to the port, but no one seems to be disembarking.

Something noisy?

When the Imperial trading ship arrived at the port, the magic detector worn by the Prince of Tusk reacted.

When I looked into it, the source of the magic power came from the ship next door.

The Empire lost its wizard in a monster disaster, but the magic he left behind is still stored in a large number of magic stones and used as various tools.

The royal family of the Empire always wore magic detectors.

A magic detector is a magic tool that can sense the traces of magic with the invention of Gennay Hilaga, a genius born by the Empire.

No matter how good the ninjas and samurai were at protecting the royal family, it was difficult to deal with magic.

In order to know the danger in advance, the royal family always wore accessories to keep them from being affected by magic, but before, this never reacted when they came to the Kingdom.

"... a cannon. Twelve gates to one ship." I am also reading a large number of artillery shells. Moreover, it is directed toward the royal capital and can be shot at any time. "

Hatta answers the task prince with wrinkles between her brows.

Even though the cannons were set up along the barrier to defeat monsters, it was unlikely that they were loaded enough to fire at the ship.

There were no monsters in the ocean.

So, what's that cannon for?

"It's like you're aiming at the King's City..."

Are the cannons directed at the capital?

Considering the range of the cannon, it is difficult to imagine the shells flying to the capital, but I can see that it is strange that ships from other countries are loaded with cannons and their spears are directed at the capital, even if they are imperialists with little diplomatic experience.

"Um? Something wrong with that ship?"

Joshua, who doesn't know the Imperial language, breaks into a serious conversation between Hattri and the Prince of Tusk.

The Prince of Tasks is information obtained by the ninjas, but he decides that this should be reported to the humans of the Kingdom, and nods at Hatta.

"... Lockle"

Hatta warns of an abnormal situation in Sanskrit in order to convey the need for urgency rather than an unfamiliar kingdom language.

"I see... it's an Empire ship, loaded with cannons, ready to fire towards the capital."

Joshua nodded as he heard Hattori's [Rockle].

I was surprised by this, as was Prince Tusk and Miguel.

Joshua knows a lot of things, even though he's only talking about Rockle.

"Hmm? Oh, it's convenient to talk about Saint-Cross."

Joshua laughs in amazement at Hatturi.

”No, you can't believe it. This person is a bakemon."

Momoshi points to Joshua, who knows all but what he looks like at Stewart's house via Hugh.

He has already finished examining a lot of things.

With that in mind, I looked at Hattri and Prince Tusk's expression and guessed.

“Joshua, given the direction and range of the cannon, the road to the capital is dangerous.”

From now on, the party was scheduled to head for the capital.

However, the Prince of Tusk looks at Joshua, saying that if the cannon is aimed toward the royal capital, he may be involved.

"No, if the Empire intends to attack in earnest, the aim is the royal capital... no, it must be the royal castle." That's the quickest way. Destroying the road with artillery shells will be an obstacle to the Empire's attack. No matter where they attacked, they left their way. Maybe that cannon is going to attack the Royal Castle from here. ”

Task The prince interprets Joshua's reflections and listens to his opinions in a way that the kingdom language is not perfect.

But I've never heard of a cannon that flies such a distance!?

Is this really a merchant? Hatta shakes her head sideways, surprised by suspicious thoughts.

In the report that Mizunari Ishida had been investigating what kind of monster extermination was being carried out in other countries on the occasion of the opening of the country, there was no cannon that could attack the distance from Simmons to the King's City.

Hattri tells Joshua, Rockle.

You don't have to fly that long range to a cannon that is a weapon to defeat monsters in the barrier.

If you don't do it well, you could damage the important barrier.

"Hmm, then it must have been the power of some outsiders to increase the cannon's flying range." For example, monsters... the seeds of Ouata will fly from here to the Royal Castle, so if I could think about it later... magic? "

With the murmur of one of Joshua's disciples, the Prince of Tusk had his own

Touch the piercing of the right ear.

I had Hattri examine the ships of the Empire because of the piercings in their right ear and the magic sensors that the royal family was constantly wearing.

I didn't tell Joshua about the magic sensing.

Nevertheless, I'm confused that he's really a merchant around the core.

"Um, the boat. It's magical. I checked the magic trail."

Miguel replies on behalf of the Prince of Tusk, who is speechless at Joshua's speculation.

"Huh, is it magic?" Fufufufufufu. That's good news. ”

Joshua laughs wickedly at the information that there is a trace of Miguel's magic.

The Task Prince, Miguel, Hatta, and Momochi can't understand Joshua like that.

Magic isn't just convenient.

It can be very dangerous.

Why does he seem so happy when the Kingdom is about to be attacked by the Empire?

"There are traces of magic... there is at least one wizard on that ship..."

At a time when Magic Stones were being depleted worldwide, it was unlikely that they would be consumed in large quantities to attack other countries.

The purpose of the attack was to acquire the Magic Stone.

The Magic Stone is probably not used to increase the cannon's flying range.

The Magic Stone was a consumable.

I lose it when I use it.

You'll need the right magic stone to increase the range of your shells by miles.

The magic stone wasn't easy enough to prepare.

In other words, in the Empire, it is better to bring a few wizards than to use costly and valuable magic stones.

Yes, that ship has a wizard.

The kingdom waited, the desire, the thirst, the wizard.

I wonder if pinching and chance are part of the front and back?

The kingdom-ridden barrier will eventually collapse.

No man can live without the boundary.

The barrier cannot be created without a wizard and a magic stone.

Yes, this is a pinch to the kingdom and a chance.

"Hugh, please report the situation to Lady Rose, who is in the Royal Castle." If you take a dress made for Lord Rose at Stewart's house, even a suspicious boy who suddenly shows up will listen to you. I'm sure she'll tell Queen Victoria. ”

If you follow the proper procedures and tell the Imperial Castle, it will take too long.

There is also a risk of being crushed by crap in the process of transmission.

Joshua decided that Hugh, who had the same speed of movement as a ninja, was the fastest to make contact with the side prince.

I'm sure she'll believe Hugh with the dress.

If you're the one who loves Emma, I'm sure.

There were magic stones.

If so,

When will you secure the Wizard to strengthen the Kingdom's barrier?

Right now!
