Chapter 249: 249 Episode 161: Alliance Again

When I returned to the Yodamari-tei with Estella and Delia, I was greeted by an unexpected guy in front of the shop.

"Waiting for my return, I was the lord of the Forty-two wards and my friend, Jasilo,"

Gilberta, the head waiter of the thirty-five wards, stood in front of the shop in the same firm atmosphere.

"Gilberta!? Why are you here?"

Estella exclaims in surprise.

It seems that their visit was not planned.

These guys...

Yes. The presence of Gilberta means that he should be there, of course.

"Is Lucia here, too.

"Yes, I am. I am waiting in the store, Lucia, for you two."

I have a bad feeling about it.

Theron and Wendy's wedding, which was quite closely associated with each other, saw the whole city of All Bloom, and thought that, being the lord of the farthest block, the opposite side of the 42nd block, they would not see each other very often in the future.

But Lucia went out of her way to see him.

in the midst of this mess caused by lack of water

on the day I received letters from the Twenty-ninth Ward and other "BU" men who declared war.

"Anyway, let's meet and listen."

"I don't want to hear it,"

Estella's expression is on her face.

I must have a very strained face, too.

"Well, may I ask you a question?"

Delia asks with an unusually serious look.

He seems to have guessed something.

The concern about the river oozes through his expression.

"Maybe it's difficult, I don't understand a little, so I might bother you, but I'm afraid..."

"It's all right, Delia,"

You can't stay, can you?

That's why it's an important river.

Lucia's story is probably related to this water shortage.

Delia looks a little uneasy.

But he doesn't seem to want to back down.

As expected of the guild chief.

"If there's anything I don't understand, I'll explain it to you. So listen carefully."

"Yes... thank you, Jillo,"

Delia is also growing little by little.

You're starting to feel that you can't keep going like this.

Even though he walked slowly, he began to move forward.

I'm afraid you'll make a good guild length.

Maybe you can compete with the Woodman Guild or the Hunting Guild.

"Anyhow, in," There's not much time to relax. in a hurry That's what Lucia thinks. Of course, so do I."

Gilberta's undulating expression adds to the steepness.

Put your hand on the door and open it to invite us.

I looked at Estella once, nodded lightly, and then stepped into the Yodamari-tei.

"Welcome home, Mr. Jiro. Oh, Estella was with you, wasn't she?"

Jeanette runs up to us looking at our faces.

"Lucia has been waiting for you," he said in a subtle whisper.

Lucia was sitting in a seat near the center of the floor.

Without concealing it, he sprinkled aura of dignified lords all around and stared at us in a perfectly neat position.

"I've been waiting for you,"

Shortly speaking, quickly, but quietly enough to hold the candle.

The same keen gaze gazes at me and walks up without blinking.

Lucia is so powerful that she might have run away if she hadn't known her, as she approached her straight back, her great stride, her face never shakes.

"... nice to see you,"

So I was suspicious of that whisper for a moment. . . . . .

"Beautiful bear ears!"

"Don't pass by me!"

"Cute! Cute!"

"Ya, Jiro! What should I do with this?"

You can give it a beating him up. I'll give you permission.

He's Lucia under all circumstances, you know!

"You've got something to tell me, haven't you? I'll hear you."

"If you want to hear me, bring Wen and Milly!"

"You don't have time, do you? Hurry up and talk! I'll take Gilberta, Conoyaro!"

"That's a good idea, I think,"

Gilberta's eyes twinkled and Lucia moved at an unnoticed rate, hugging anyone as hard as she could.

"Declared war, anchovy!"

"Tell me quickly... I've got a lot of problems, too."

Fools ignore him and sit down quickly.

Estella also sits straight next to me. Yeah. He's going to ignore Lucia's eccentricities, too.

"Well, you're as rude as ever, anchovy."

"Sit down! I'll listen."

Pointing to the opposite seat in the jaw, Lucia returns with a graceful gait and sits down.

Then, as soon as they sit down, they raise one hand and call Jeanette.

"Gineppu, shall I have some new tea?" Give it to these two, too."

"Yes, please wait a moment."

He bows his head and Jeanette returns to the kitchen.

"...who's Geneppu?" Don't give me a strange nickname."

"I have his consent, and there is no reason for outsiders to criticize me."

What do you understand, Jeanette? . . . .

"I like him the best of all men.""...a giant breast?"

"Are you a pervert who can only evaluate women by the size of their breasts?"

"Who's perverted?"

"The most important thing for women is whether they'll give me a hug, or whether they'll give me a lot of fluffy things like that!"

"You must be much more perverted!"

"It's noisy, two perverts," Will you hold your tongue for a moment until the tea comes?"

Estella has lost all touch with Lucia in transformation mode.

It is hard to judge whether this is progress or degeneration as a lord.

"... Jillo,"

Without a sound, a magda appeared from behind me.

"...the Magdas would like to be with us."

"Well, no, but what's your job?"

"...I've cleaned up most of it in Magda and Loretta, for there are no guests."

"There are no guests?"

I was told to look around the shop and found out that there were no customers.

"While Lucia is here, we have reserved it."

Next to the magda comes Gilberta without a sound.

Are you guys sneaking?

"It's a bad story, Mr. Lucia is going to do. It's hard to be talked about even at the level of rumors. It's a problem, just to leak information that Lucia is here."

That would be the only serious thing to talk about.

"Are you talking about 'BU'?"

"Did you come here, too, from the letter from BU?"

"Yes, would you like to see it?"

"Is that all right, Estella?"

It would be impossible to show a letter addressed to a lord to another lord.

Well, I'm not a feudal lord, and I'm saying that there must be a problem at the moment I look at it."

"I don't mind. I don't think it's much different from what's coming to Lucia anyway."

"Well, let me see,"

Lucia spreads the letter and glances at the content.

In a few minutes I looked up and lifted my lips meaningfully.

"It's pretty much the same,"

Our hunch was right.

A federation of lords, called BU, argued that the joint weddings of the 42nd and 35th wards were responsible for the drought.

Forty-two wards and thirty-five wards are trying to compensate -- claim damages.

"Thank you for waiting."

Jeanette brings eight cups of tea.

Is it all understood?

"Mr. Delia sits at the same table as us,"

Jeanette is followed by Loretta with a tray coming out of the kitchen.

The tray is lined with fruit tarts.

"Ro, Loretta! What's that cake? Are you going to give it to me?"

To Delia, who bites at her, Loretta responds quite rightly.

"Yes. It's a treat at the restaurant. I listen to difficult stories while eating, together!"

"All right! If I have a cake, I think I can understand any difficult story!"

No, I don't think so.

No matter how much sugar is the nourishment of the brain.........it's like it.

"... Loretta. You've grown a lot, haven't you? what?"

`Whoaah!' she said, `but the manager told me so!? Really! It's not my sole discretion!'

With a quick glance, Jeanette shrugs her shoulders and frowns to mislead evil. ...you think you can fool me with that face, you know?

"I don't care. I'll treat you. Eat to your heart's content."

I tried to say a word to Jeanette, but Lucia interrupted her.

How dare you treat yourself!

"Okay, then I'm going to eat Yodamari-tei Kaiseki..."

"I don't want you. Girls should eat and drink whatever they like."

...this is the same as always.

"Well, I'll treat you to Mr. Jiro's portion,"

Jeanette puts the fruit tart in front of me.

...I'm in good shape.

Tea and cake go around to everyone, each sitting down.

Magda, Loretta and Delia sit to the left of our seats.

Gilberta stands behind Lucia.

"Gilberta, I hope you'll be with me. It's delicious."

"While I'm at work, I've decided before, separating public and private."

"Good,"

"... I understand,"

"Why don't you sit with me?"

"I agree,"

Bow to Lucia, take a step back, and sit down with Jeanette at the table to our right.

"Well, it's rather sickening. Let's talk while eating."

Lucia unfolds a sheet of paper with an expression of disgust.

avoid eating utensils and make room on the table

"This is..."

"All Bloom's map,"

As Lucia said, it was an all-bloom picture.

This is a miniature of the map I saw in the 30th leg when I first came to this city.

The lines are drawn neatly and numbers are assigned to each ward.

"You must be from outside, anchovy,"

"He is now a fine inhabitant of the Forty-two Wards,"Jeanette eats up Lucia's words.

Lucia also seemed surprised at the unexpected outburst of language.

But after a light cough, he smiles softly and turns to Jeanette.

"Of course, yes," However, he may not be as familiar with the geography of this city as we are. That's the confirmation with that in mind. Don't be offended."

"No, no! That's not what I meant... ...I'm sorry."

shrug one's shoulders and look down

I think it was a rare emotional statement for Jeanette.

Jeanette herself seems to be ashamed of her unusual behavior. His face is all red.

"Well, indeed," I can only vaguely remember the details."

I can guess roughly, but it's easier to figure it out like this way.

Let's take a bird's‐eye look at this all-bloom again.

There is a so-called Chuo Ward in the center.

Around that point, other zones extend radially.

Rather than radiation, it might be better to say that the section continues spirally.

The second to fifth wards surround the central wards of Chuo Ward.

In addition, five wards, ranging from six wards to ten wards, surround it.

These wards from 1 to 10 have much smaller territories than other wards.

Compared to the 42 wards, the area is about one-fifth to one-sixth.

"As you may know, the Central District, and the Second to Fifth Wards, is the territory where the royals live. There are second-class nobles living around it."

"Second grade?"

Lucia's words contained new words.

It may be a class system that has been used in this city for a long time, as in the case of subhuman beings and subspecies.

The royal family who ruled this country live in Chuo Ward. Those who live in the four neighborhoods are the aristocrats of the royal family. Such people are called 'royals'."

Lucia uses honorific language. against someone who is not even here

I mean, that's the kind of family the royals are they? I feel like I'm going to jump at a word of mouth. Let's listen quietly this time.

"Even if we say "royal family," we call them "first-class aristocrats" except for the royal family."

"Well, that means the second-class nobleman, though not the royal family,"

"Yes, mainly those involved in administration...including ministers and prime ministers."

Following Estella, Lucia explains.

With the king at the top, his lineage is the best, and the royal caretaker is the second best.

"That means that the aristocrats who have a strong relationship with the royal family but who do not hold important posts are the third rank."

"That's a good guess, anchovy," Clothing craftsmen, craftsmen, and people who come and go to and from the royal family are called third-class nobles.'

"They are nobles called great merchants and millionaires."

Estella adds additional supplements to her words.

"The guild chief of the peddler's guild is also included in this third-class aristocrat."

"Well... what a proud person you are!"

"That's enough. No fifth-class nobleman like me could beat my teeth."

Is Estella fifth grade?

Lucia's remarks give me a faint smile. a faintly self‐deprecating smile I wonder if Lucia is also a fifth-class nobleman.

They look superior to Estella, Ricardo and Demily in the atmosphere.

"Oh, by any chance,"

The map of All Bloom inspires me.

The royal family is located in Chuo Ward.

the nobility of the second to fifth wards around it

a second‐class nobleman in the six to ten wards around it

Third-class aristocrats lived in twelve wards from the 11th to the 22nd wards with a slightly larger territory than the above-mentioned ten wards.

"Do you mean that the higher the grade is, especially in Chuo Ward?"

"That's right,"

The wards of this city are circularly connected to each other to surround the inner wards.

The more the circle goes out, the lower the status and grade of aristocracy becomes.

Therefore, the outermost--thirty to forty-second barons called the Outer Circumstance--are the lowest fifth barons.

Lucia is no doubt a fifth-grade nobleman in that way.

"What a great difference between the thirty and twenty-nine wards on the outer perimeter and the twenty-nine wards on the inner side?"

"What's your friend said.

Lucia makes a meaningful remark.

"And this time--"

Little by little, Estella says to me, tapping the map with her index finger.

`--it was the 'BU' that complained to us, including the twenty-ninth leg.'

As I say, I trace with my fingers the area from the 23rd to the 29th wards where fourth-class aristocrats live.

The territory of the area is long and narrow compared to the outer peripheral districts as well as the inner eleven to twenty-two wards. On the second lap from the outside, the seven boroughs circled the all-bloom as long as a belt.

Belt . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "U" is probably "United."

"That is to say, it is such a troublesome situation when a man of the highest rank gets into trouble."

"In your own way,"

I'm sure it's my own way.

...the high‐ranking man is always ashamed of what his subordinates do.

And what's more, it's nothing but a habit... ...a bunch of cowardly people.

So the nobles... can't say that they are... ...in the presence of the nobles, Estella and Lucia."

"Oh, my God. This is the trouble for the nobles. Oh, Estella."

"What? Ah, ha. It's hard for me to say from my point of view, but... ...that's right."

I and Jeanette were more shocked when two aristocrats said something unexpected.

Estella hardly pretends to be a nobleman, so I understand... but it would have been hard to say before Lucia.

"Hahaha!" Don't be funny! Anchovy. I'll scoop out your eyes."

"Don't smile and say scary things!"

Especially when you have a fork in your hand!

"I can't get along with the nobles, let alone myself." I'm the type of person who talks more with the guild-chief.""There are many beasts,"

"Martan is the best."

It was just a perverted remark, but now I feel something of akin to tenderness.

"That's why people say, 'The outer circumference is barbaric,' or 'There are a lot of queer people.'"

"The Forty-two wards are all you can say to me by the same fifth-class aristocrats."

That's a real complaint!

The aristocrats have no qualms about complaining to others -- which I and Jeanette would never hear.

Is that all right with you guys?

"That's why I've reserved it for you, to-day. I thought it would be impossible without this kind of atmosphere."

From the next table Gilberta writes such a supplement.

While carrying small slices of tart into your mouth.

"It's a lot of trouble for the 'BU' guys,"

My gutted opinion is flying straight at me.

Lucia puts her fork in my eyes and gives me a huge smile.

"Look at that strange territory," Don't you notice anything?"

"You have a small territory,"

"Not only that, but it's thin and long."

There is a difficult aspect of a long and narrow territory.

A spacious rectangle with a wide frontage would be easier to live in than a narrow and narrow house with a narrow frontage.

Each ward is long and narrow and adjacent to two to three wards.'

As Lucia said, the districts belonging to the BU are adjacent to two or three districts on one side.

The longer the ward, the more adjacent it is.

"They take advantage of that territory and charge 'taxes'."

Pay to get through your ward...That's what the 41 wards were going to do before.

If these wards form a union called BU's and collectively collect tolls, many of the people from outside will drop their money into BU's.

If you come to business from outside, you'll want to do business in Chuo Ward, if you don't have anything.

in the most elegant and prosperous of all Bloom

In order to go from the outer perimeter to Chuo Ward, it is necessary to pass the BU.

What a hard business it is!

...what?

"I passed 'BU' once, but I didn't get any money."

"I don't tax people," It's only for goods."

"Is that so?"

"or else we'll have to take money from the royals."

"You can take it,"

"Well, anchovy. You look like a representative of an obscene creature, but at heart you are relatively pure."

"Who is the representative of obscenity?"

Lucia with a grin and teasing smile

Why are you so innocent?

"It means that some aristocrats like to play with women of different social standing."

Estella is whispering in her ear.

Clearly, in a voice that is considerate of the Jeanettes.

"... Oh, that's what I mean."

In short, the royals and the nobles of high rank secretly play with low-ranking women nightly, and return to their houses before dawn.

If you take money on your way back and forth, you could catch the eye of the royals and high-ranking nobles who want to act secretly.

That's why you keep taxing the goods without that kind of course.

...just because I didn't come up with such a stupid thing, doesn't it mean that I'm pure or something like that.

Yes, grinning pervert! Beast mania! A rebel against ethics!

... well...

"At any rate, we have no choice but to go and listen to them. But I don't like the fact that they just go and say whatever they want."

"It's very likely that you'll be asked a lot of unreasonable questions."

Lucia and Estella seem to have agreed.

In other words,

"Let's set up a united front,"

"Yes, I wish I could."

Again, the lords of the 42 wards and the 35 wards shake hands firmly.

"Now you can use the anchovy again,"

"Yes, if you can handle it all."

look this way together

with a disgusting smile

"...you'll pay dearly,"

What they claim to be the cause is the fireworks I proposed.

You won't be able to escape your due responsibility.

Then at least make me feel good.

Well, anyway.

I've just wanted to give the BU guys a break, so I'll ride it this time.

I look at the map again.

BU goes around All Bloom separating the outer perimeter where we live from the inner perimeter where royals and high-ranking nobles live.

It's as if they're saying, "You guys shouldn't come in from here."

That's fine.

I'll go as you wish. Don't eat inside of me.
