The reception was a hobby space.

Not too gorgeous, just never plain.

Furniture, such as sofas, has a serene tone, with wonderful fine decorations subtly applied to its ends.

From the large skylight, the warm sun falls.

I was put through the room. No, I accidentally leaked 'wow'.

"How did you like our prized salon?

Sir Cazzarini, hearing my leaked voice in his ear, inquires as such.

"Yeah. Nice room."

I can't help but be asked. I shall honestly give you my compliments.

Well, it's nothing to hide.

"I'm glad you said that. It's a restrained interior."

When he smiled with true joy, Sir Cazzarini urged me to take a seat by hand.

I sit back on the couch for both of us.

Um, comfortable to sit on.

There is a difference between heaven and earth in the carriage to the earlier point.

As I nodded contentedly inside, Sir Cazzarini sat on the couch across the street from where he pinched the table.

I transfer consciousness from great furniture to the man in the front.

And before he came to the Latio Republic, he slammed it into his head, sniffing up the information on the man in front of him from the people database.

Theo Cazzarini. One of the new nobles with a seat on the Council of Elders.

Whereas the former nobility has been noble since the founding of the country, the new nobility refers to a family pattern described as noble from among the common people due to some merit.

He is one of the newest nobles of such a new nobility.

It was in his father's stead that he made a glorious feat and was set up in the nobility.

The achievement is the development of new trading routes with the East.

Until now, dealings with the other side of the far east have focused exclusively on land routes.

Among other things, the Latio Republic, situated at the western edge of the continent, was an unfavourable counterpart in Eastern trading.

It was the predecessor Sir Cazzarini who overturned the situation.

When he sailed to the sea plains that stretched west of the country, he discovered a new route to the East.

In the history of the planet, a feat similar to Vasco da Gama.

The benefits that the new trading route brought to the Latio Republic were immense.

Sir Cazzarini's medal by unanimity, unprecedented in the history of the Council of Elders, tells the story of the magnitude of its achievements.

And the second generation of its Cazzarini family, Theo Cazzarini.

He is a distinguished man as a protector of culture.

The Cazzarini family is naturally also participating in the Oriental transaction using the new route.

Sir Cazzarini, with the wealth gained in that transaction, offers protection and recommendation of culture.

Specifically, his activity as a patron to the artists hits it.

Loving the arts, he spends his assets on patron activities without a thank you.

Anything, you even have your own troupe, or you don't?

Now, what the hell does that artist-skinned aristocrat have to do with me?

Such a deal has an indifferent image of politics......

Well, if that's unsolicited bias, is that until then?

"How was your meeting with Sir Bartolone?

"... it was a meaningful discussion."

"Really? That's good."

Answer Sir Cazzarini's query unquestionably.

To that answer, Sir Cazzarini hammering with one nod.

Whatever, during a while.

Running and psychological warfare may be the flavor of this hand talks......

Unfortunately, already in the second round, I am already full.

So let's go straight to the point.

"So, what the hell is it for?

The cat in which it was worn, or, rounding up your beautiful mask.

Where does polite language go? In addition, he makes a conscious, low and chilling voice.

"Pfft, is that your face, Witch Hall?

Hmm. I thought I'd have some noodles...

On the contrary, he's laughing happily, this uncle. I can't stay alert. Sounds like a deal.

"Yeah. Anything inconvenient?

"No. Rather preferable. Don't hesitate to tell the truth."

"Genuine......"

"Yes, it's true. My Lady Witch, the first thing I want you to know is that I am not just a Taoist nobleman."

"Ha. So, who are you?

"I'm an ambitious man."

Ambitious…?

So, does the usual behavior of skipping the present in art mean acting to deceive the surroundings?

"So, what's that ambitious man doing, approaching me?

I threw a question at the core.

Sir Cazzarini speaks as he stares me straight in the eye.

"Your speech to the council earlier, that's what I thought. The rest of the senators said it was right for you."

……………………

"Old aristocrats who are mainstream in the current council, a tattoo above my eyes, but I'm sure they will be taken by your hands and sunk. So now's your chance."

"Opportunity?"

"Yeah. If the old aristocracy sinks, it's a relative chance for us to float. Isn't that right?

"Right. I hope you don't sink with me..."

Lord Cazzarini with his shoulders in my words.

"How horrible. I'm trying to get closer to you so I don't. Please, could you join hands with me?

"... what do you say you do to me?

To my doubt, Sir Cazzarini smiles invincibly.

He rang it when he took the spicy bell of vitreous craftsmanship.

Left for a short while, he came into the room with a pot the size of which the servant would hold.

And put it on the table.

"What do you think this contents are?

"Come on? Can I see it?

"Yep. Check it out"

Wait for that word and do not hesitate to remove the lid of the kettle.

The dewy contents are black powder.

".................. Secret Medicine of Fire"

"Discover. It is a black magic powder that was swallowed by the Oriental trade. Most imports, as small as they are, can only make the festival economical…"

Sir Cazzarini, once the words are cut, as you can see this reaction.

"However, if you can get a convoluted amount, you can see a completely different use from now, when it's only a tool of buzz. Well, can you imagine the Witch Hall?

Sir Cazzarini utters an unscrupulous rhetoric.

A new use of that secret drug, to make it more impressive.

But I'm sorry. I know more about the utility of this than you do.

"It'll be a weapon. It's also an innovative weapon, enough to refresh the way the battlefield works."

Sir Cazzarini frowns in surprise as he turns from his invincible grin.

If in a nutshell he expresses his feelings, he says, 'Why would you do that?' Something like that.

"Sir Cazzarini, in my hometown, weapons with this already exist."

"... I see. I don't have to explain its usefulness."

"Yeah, fine."

Black powder coming far from the East, called the secret medicine of fire.

Its identity is so-called black gunpowder.

Though it is the most primitive gunpowder, the power this brings is interminable.

It has the potential to refresh the bomb with firearms and exactly the way it is on the battlefield.

Of course, I am also a substitute for what I had already seen.

Undoubled with modern weapons, such as firearms, is a staple in the classics of different world war stories.

However, the usefulness of gunpowder is not yet recognized in this world. Because of this, even Eastern trading only comes in small quantities.

It wasn't exactly the level that we wanted, such as militarization.

If you can't get it from the East, I also wish I could make it......

The raw materials for black gunpowder will be three points: charcoal, sulfur, and nitrous stone.

Within this, I couldn't get the nitrous stone.

I tried to find it...

At the very least, no nitrous stone production sites existed in the Medes peripheral Bertian territory.

Also outside our territory, we don't hear stories of nitrous stones being picked.

Most likely, no one even noticed.

Rabbit also horns, which is why the militarization of the gunpowder I gave up crying.

But does this Sir Cazzarini say that it makes it possible?

"Sir, can you buy this in bulk?

For confirmation, I asked Sir Cazzarini.

"Exactly. It would be nice to have it fully prepared."

"Thank you."

"Well, I'm glad you can join hands with me."

"Yes."

I snorted at his confirmation words.

"That was good. Now, quickly, may I tell you what the Witch Hall is up to in this Latio Republic?

"Don't decide what you're up to. You're not listening."

"Oh, this is rude"

Well, I'm planning it.

I have no choice, so will you tell Sir Cazzarini?

Let me tell you the contents of my earlier secret conversation with Sir Bartolone and my aim.

"I see. Using the Fartellis Terra region as bait...... You can't help but eat it."

"Isn't it? Could the fishing needle you planted in that bait later?

Hmm, and Sir Cazzarini, who is temporarily reticent.

"… illegally occupy more land than in the Fartellis Terra region. Neither will the old nobles be foolish enough not to realize the danger. Just..."

"Just?"

"I don't know about the military personnel in the field. Out of the thoughts of the old aristocrats, they may try to increase the occupied territories at their own discretion"

"I see. Army runoff...? That's possible."

Can civilian-control work well in immature societies?

It will be difficult.

With superb bait in front of you, I'm sure you can't help jumping.

"In that case, as far as I'm concerned, I don't even wish... Sir, is that all right?

"I don't mind."

"Heh. Can I ask you why?

Sir Cazzarini laughs niggly.

"Non-fulfilment of the covenant. As a price for betrayal, the Republic of Latio will receive its reward"

Yes, it's a counter-invasion by a conlator who put the kingdom of Magna under rule.

The Republic of Latio will, on the contrary, be in a position to be cornered.

"People ask others to take responsibility for things when they don't work anymore."

"Well, yeah."

"If the Royal Magna Army is imminent, let me cry out loud. This is what happened to the old aristocrats because they rebelled against the covenant."

"It's also..."

"I grasp the hearts and minds of the people and banish the evil old nobles. And let us apologize to His Majesty the new king of Konrat for the evil deeds of his former colleagues"

"Pfft. I'm sure His Majesty the New King will accept Sir's sincere apology."

"Yes, I suppose so."

What a delightful story. That's going to be really interesting.

Put aside a beat, and we both laughed.
