Ore no Ongaeshi: High Spec Murazukuri

Episode 40: Taishou surrogate girl

Ask from the young proxy Isis of the city of Orn about the circumstances that were aimed at her own life.

"I mean, is this city of Orn being targeted"

"Yes, I can't speak clearly from my (my) mouth, but I have an idea of who they are..."

After getting a rough explanation from Isis, I'm going to check the contents again.

The city is a trading city where three streets intersect. As a result, national trading houses are built and moistened by tax revenues.

In addition, Orn is an "independent city state" that does not belong to any country, and has laid down a system of loyalty to the hereditary system.

He has surrounded the city with a strong wall of wealth gained from the deal and has had his own knights and mercenaries to defend his autonomy for many years.

"It's like the city of Sakai in the Warring States..."

"What, Sakai...? Is...?

"No, it's nothing. Go on."

Orn, who has defended the independent urban system over the years. But lately, the national situation around me has changed.

"Is that the leap forward of the Hizan Empire?"

"Yes......"

A state called the Hizan Empire, whose territory had been the eastern part of the continent in recent years, said it had gradually expanded its forces.

I haven't bordered Orn yet.

But in a few more years, he said, it is definitely expected to be a force map that can be invaded.

"At the beginning, did the opponent come under pressure in diplomacy?"

"Yes...... months ago. A messenger of substantial surrender recommendations has come from the Empire."

"And he said no to it"

"Yes! My Orn never succumbed to such pressure!

High pressure messengers came from the Hizan Empire, as the words of Isis' wrath say.

"Surrender if your life is spared without any recognition of Orn's autonomy," he said.

The Lord of Orn, who has defended his independence over the years, immediately said no.

An empire is a nation with momentum but shallow history.

If we shielded the city's financial and military power and alliance with the surrounding states, we saw it as not so threatening (today).

"But now my lord... did your father lie down in a mysterious disease?"

"Yes... it still woke me up..."

After turning down the messenger from the Empire... about a month ago.

Orn. Isis' real father, the current lord, said he stopped waking up due to a mysterious illness.

An odd illness with life but no return to consciousness.

So Isis, a daughter, quickly ran the city diligently with a group of ministers about the seat of the Lord's deputy.

"And this assassination riot."

"Yes...... you will be right"

"It was such an unpopular mansion."

"You're right..."

Isis apologizes for not being sorry.

I haven't made it clear from her mouth, but it would all be a bunch of schemes orchestrated by the Hizan Empire.

Weaken opponents in advance of several fiscal year's invasion of Orn. If you're lucky, let's just take it over.

"I generally understand the story. What can I do for you?

In the first description of the Player Rack, I was brought to this mansion because someone wanted me to meet him.

In other words, Isis, the girl in front of me, would have instructed Rack to meet me. It's a simple guess.

"Mr. Rack told me... rumors of" Sage of the North "..."

"" Sage of the North "...?

"Yes......"

Isis tells the rumors he heard from Rack, an informant.

――――

One day in the village of the northern minority, which was destined for doom, came the Savior.

The person will give charity to the villagers suffering from hunger and solve food distress one after another with new technologies like those never seen before.

He further said he had excellent tactical vision and destroyed a brutal and outrageous band of bandits without sacrificing a single soldier to the village.

And Savior… "Sage of the North” finally came to this city of Orn, he said.

――――

"I see," Sage of the North ”? Is there such an amazing person?"

Listening to Isis, I am heartily impressed. If the rumor were true, the "wise man of the north” would be quite a figure. He is an excellent sage not only in internal affairs but also in tactical eyes.

I would love to see you too because I am talking about staying in this Orn right now.

"Sage of the North" means Dana of Yamato.

"What the..."

To Rack's exact words, I accidentally get a voice. But that's not misheard, it explains that the "wise man of the north” is a Yamato in the village of Uld.

"I'm a regular villager, Rack."

"Again, all the feats, humble you, Dana"

Rack comes to praise, but what we are doing in the village is only a trivial (small) reform. To repay the villagers I took care of, I only offered wisdom.

I don't know where he bought it from, but Rack's rumors and ratings on me are close to false alarm.

"Please,“ Sage of the North "... No, Master Yamato. Please help this city of Orn!

But there was someone in front of me who really believed in it. Isis begs with a serious look. He wants you to protect the town from the demon hands of the Empire by assuming the status of Orn's warrior.

That serious look wasn't a joke, she meant it.

"Sorry, but I say no. I'm not such a sage."

"Why!? I will have enough gratuities and status!

"It's not about the money"

I refuse to accept the request of Isis, the girl acting as Taishou.

"It's not money..."

"Oh, people move with“ benevolent love ”. It's a good example of welcoming a person with a“ courtesy of Sankoku. "

"" This courtesy "…?"

Isis tilts his neck at the words he hears for the first time. Of course, the history of the earth cannot be telling, and we will not understand its meaning.

(but this is fine... it's not a matter of amateurs mouthing)

This is my convenience to turn down Isis' request. I'm overrated by misunderstandings, but I'm not much of a person.

I have no background in training as a militant, nor have I learned to rebuild the political economy of an urban state. Outdoor is my hobby at best, and I'm only a social worker who graduated from general college.

He is not an exaggerated man such as “the wise man of the north” or "the military master”, who has only ever saved the poverty of a small village with slight wisdom.

"Okay, Mr. Yamato. I'll look into this thank you and ask again."

"Oh, take it personally. I'm staying in Orn for a while."

Apparently Isis hasn't given up yet. Still determined to recruit me as a military teacher. I see a strong will that my eyes will never give up.

(Younger than me, but you have a pretty strong heart...)

Seems unreliable, Isis is a pretty core girl. Inside, I review her a little.

◇

I'm almost done talking, that's when it happened.

"Dear Isis!!

"Lady, are you all right!?

With intense metal noises, groups armed with swords and shields rushed into the hall.

Isis' description says they are Orn Kingsguard knights.

Soon we looked for Isis, who got out, and we rushed all the way here.
