“As I thought, it should be five people…” (Mitsuha)

“What should be five people?” (Sabine-chan)

Sabine-chan, who heard Mitsuha murmuring, questioned her .

Right, because Mitsuha usually thinks something pointless at such times .

“Well, Colette-chan, Sabine-chan, and I make three people, right? And, as the candidates for the other two, there are Beatrice-chan, Rephilia, Mitchan No . 2, Princess Gegege… . Well, we can also choose the children in the orphanage, but…” (Mitsuha)

“No, what are you talking about!!” (Sabine-chan)

Sabine-chan was a little frustrated because she didn’t understand what Mitsuha is getting at .

“No, I was thinking about a party or a team, I guess . Something like Mitsuha Girls, Mitsuha’s Angels, or Peace Corps Mitsuranger… . Then, I thought five members are the cliched number after all…” (Mitsuha)

“……” (Sabine-chan)

Sabine-chan looked at Mitsuha with cold eyes suggesting that she was really disappointed…

“I will! I will join you!” (Colette-chan)

Colette-chan jumped from the side and said so .

Right, Colette-chan, who has repeatedly watched [such DVDs and Blu-rays], would never miss such an exciting topic .

However, in contrast to Mitsuha, who was thinking about something like Combat Squad, Colette-chan was thinking about Magical Girl’s kinds of stuff .

If it’s a combat squad, one might be able to imitate it by using firearms . As expected, Mitsuha didn’t seem to be able to use Magic, after all .

…and it appears that Princess Remia of Darrisson Kingdom finally came to be called [Princess Gegege] . And of course, both Colette-chan and Sabine-chan completely ignored it…

Today, after a long absence, I will attend a party in the Kingdom of Vanel .

Since I am more or less the head of a n.o.ble family, even though I’m a n.o.bleman of another country, I have to show up in the social circle every now and then . Besides, I have to collect information regularly…

Everyone in the [Society] is still a minor, so they can only be present at birthday parties before their debut . Even if they were present, I can’t use them to gather information for me since they can’t talk to adults from another house .

In my case, even if I’m a minor (or that’s what they think), I can attend normal parties because I’m the head of a n.o.ble family and involved in foreign trade, so it’s okay for me to talk to them…

So that’s why I will be attending a party after a long absence . I also want to confirm the reaction of the social circle about the s.h.i.+p’s soul event .

Of course, the [Count of Wonrade and Viscount of Efred] from that time will not appear . I reminded the count who is the organizer just in case . Considering what happened to that count who set me in, I don’t think he would deceive me .

…well, even if they decide to deceive me, I could just run away again . It’s not like they could do any harm to me .

If I say that I want to go to the restroom, or I’ll die if I don’t take a bath or something along the lines, I should have the opportunity to be alone . And then, I would be able to escape using transfer .

…as expected, there’s no way I could disappear by using transfer in public in this country .

Even an idiot would understand that I’ll have to completely cut the connection with the social circles in this country when that happens . Right, in [this country] .

So, it’s unlikely that anyone will pull the trigger and take all the blame .

And so, the party I attended this time is the party of a naval faction, though I chose it without worrying about factions too much .

Of course, even though it’s the party of a naval faction, it doesn’t mean that it is limited to n.o.bles and military officers of the Navy .

It’s just that [the organizer is a navy-oriented n.o.ble family, and the invited guests are a little biased toward that direction] . There are also n.o.bles and military officers of the Army, people who aren’t so closely related to such factions, and the great merchants who have received their first t.i.tle .

…and there’s also Marquis Mitch.e.l.l .

I chose and attended this party solely by my own decision, completely unrelated to Marquis Mitch.e.l.l . I looked up the information about the party myself, then gently released the information that [Viscount Yamano seems to want to attend] through the servant route, and the invitation arrived the next day .

It seems that the maid girl who told her employer that [she heard the rumor by chance] from the person I hired was awarded a special bounty of one gold coin and was rolling around on her bed .

Anyway, I have made clear that Marquis Mitch.e.l.l has been released from the role of [selecting the party where viscount Yamano will attend] .

But, for Marquis Mitch.e.l.l, it doesn’t mean [one less ha.s.sle for him], but rather [he had lost the trust of viscount Yamano], which seems to be a considerable loss in the social world .

Well, it seems the fact that it was because of the King’s evil intention and that the Marquis was not at fault was widely known…

No, he is at fault! The immediate cause that made me angry is because of the Marquis’s att.i.tude and words!!

Well, I won’t bother to go around spreading that fact, though… He is more or less the father of my friend, after all…

“Viscount Yamano, I see that you have started to attend parties again after a long absence . Have you been well?” (?)

Oh, an acquaintance viscount-san spoke to me . He was a senior officer in the Navy, and he must’ve on a s.h.i.+p before he was on duty in the Royal Capital .

He knew why I was away from the social circle, but he doesn’t touch that topic or try to inquire about the details about the trade goods and talked to me casually . As expected, he’s not a [smart sailor] for nothing…

“Ah, yes, I was just busy traveling around the surrounding countries, helping out with the [Society], and dealing with my sister who came from my home country . My body is healthy!” (Mitsuha)

Even if he’s serving in the military, as long as he’s in the capital, there’s no way he doesn’t know about the [Society] .

“Hou, your sister?” (?)

Ah . I mentioned that just in case someone saw me walking around with Colette-chan and Sabine-chan . And then everyone around me perked up their ears…

No, I think the royal palace and those who are spying on me already know that, about Colette-chan and Sabine-chan, I mean .

And the members of [Society] must’ve told their parents that my sisters are in this country . … I didn’t forbid them to talk about it or anything, after all .

Well, in other words, I let that story to go through .

“Umm, I heard that something called [s.h.i.+p soul] appeared on some s.h.i.+p of the fleet…” (Mitsuha)

“That is right! It was all started when the s.h.i.+p soul appeared for the first time on the distressed s.h.i.+p [Eras], and that soul had the appearance of…” (?)

Aaah, his eyes are s.h.i.+ning, and he went into [z speech mode]!!

This is what Oniichan said about [when you carelessly asked someone about something they couldn’t help but to explain in detail] situation!!

…right, this is what they called [stepped on a landmine]…

…

…he’s talking endlessly .

It’s no longer necessary to confirm the reaction of the higher-ups regarding the s.h.i.+p’s souls .

… I already heard everything .

I think I’m now probably one of the top ten people in this country who knows the most detailed information regarding the [s.h.i.+p souls] . That’s how detailed he explained the whole thing . To the extent that the people around us were all gone before I knew it .

“And the s.h.i.+p soul that appeared on [El Archon] looks like a maid…” (?)

Hii, is he still going on? Someone, help me…

“Viscount Yamano, I have a proposal about the alcohols and cosmetics that you are dealing with…” (?)

Another troublesome thing has come!!

“Viscount Yamano, there is a company that we take care of, won’t you listen about it just once?” (?)

“Viscount, my daughter seems to be interested in what they call [Society], I wonder if there’s some way for her to join…” (?)

Aaaah, everyone seems to have been waiting for the story of the s.h.i.+p’s souls to end, but when they saw a Count from somewhere interrupted the story, they all rushed to me at once to prevent that count from getting a head start!!

“Viscount, about the jewelry trade…” (?)

“How much is the grain price…”

“Spice…”

“Viscount!”

“Viscount!”

“Viscount!”

“Viscount!”

Aaaaaaahhh!!!

Why do they come to surround me like this!!

Are these guys a group of cats that attracted to a matatabi stick! (Note: The [once again] part of the t.i.tle of this chapter is also [matatabi])
