As the ceasefire agreement signing ceremony approached, the personnel Toko brought became increasingly busy.
One day, two Amazonesses arrived.
The twin commanders-in-chief that I had met before in the great forest of the Ogres.
These two came as the first guests invited to the signing ceremony.
Their names were Kanon and Shion, though I do not know which was which.
As I, Yuzuriha, and Toko went to greet them, the two Amazonesses immediately bowed deeply upon seeing me.… Read more
5 (The Duchess of Uentas’ Perspective)
A few days after leaving Frontier Lord Lohengrin’s castle,
after passing through the border with a forged ID and entering a small fortress beyond, the envoy party bowed their heads as one when Ayano entered.
Ayano let out a relieved sigh as she removed her overcoat, asking,
“How was everything, Minister? Were you all doing well while I was away?”
“We managed somehow…Oh my, Your Grace. It seems your chest has become even flatter in the short time since we last met?”… Read more
4 (Toko’s Perspective)
Late at night. In front of Yuzuriha and Toko sitting on the bed, Suzuha was bowing her head.
“I’m really sorry…! I failed to recruit my brother…!”
“…Well, given the circumstances, it couldn’t be helped. Still, it’s a real pity we couldn’t show off our brand new swimsuits to your capable brother…”
“With that overwhelming workload, I suppose Suzuha nii couldn’t spare time for leisure activities.”
Seeing Yuzuriha shrug her shoulders with sincere disappointment, Toko could only force a wry smile.… Read more

Just as Yuzuriha predicted, Toko arrived much earlier than scheduled.
Right after Toko’s arrival, security troops for the signing ceremony started showing up, then government officials, chefs and maids for the subsequent party, and even fashion designers to tailor party dresses—a huge help.
Upon hearing our explanation, Toko was clutching her head in exasperation.
“No, no, no, this is crazy…! The discovery of orichalcum alone would shake the entire continent, but an exposed vein of it!?… Read more
Chapter 3: The Signing Ceremony
1
What awaited me when I returned from the mithril mine was
Ayano’s resentful gaze as she was buried in paperwork in the office.
“This is an incredible situation, isn’t it…? Um, this is an orichalcum souvenir.”
“…This orichalcum ore is a surprisingly well-made fake. Which souvenir shop did you buy it from?”
“It looks like real orichalcum, that’s what Yuzuriha said.”
“There’s no way that’s possible. If an orichalcum ore this size was real, every nation on the continent would be in an uproar.”… Read more
10 (Yuzuriha’s Perspective)
I never thought I’d see it again –
the trial to help Suzuha’s brother exterminate goblins as new students.
That’s where we encountered the wandering white-haired vampire.
Outwardly, she was a frighteningly thin, unnaturally beautiful young girl.
Wearing a white dress and a straw hat, she looked like a summer lady.
But her eyes were a deeper crimson than blood.
She was the legendary demon who slaughtered all who laid eyes on her.… Read more
After somehow calming the two down, we reached the conclusion to properly investigate tomorrow.
By then it was dinnertime.
“Brother, dinner is going to be shrimp chili.”
“Shrimp chili?”
Shrimp chili is a dish of shrimp stir-fried in a spicy sauce.
I’m not learned enough to know what “chili” in the name refers to, probably some magic term.
“I suppose it’s a salty dish suited after physical labor, right Yuzuriha?”… Read more
And so afterwards, Yuzuriha-san launched into an impassioned oration about how I came to be appointed as the new Margrave of Lohengrin.
—It was a tale so greatly embellished that even a traveling bard would hesitate, exalting my supposed invincible might,
my status as a national savior, and how I was chosen for this position.
The content was so rife with falsehoods, exaggerations, and obfuscations that even I, the person being spoken about, wanted to shout “Lies!… Read more
“–So today, you came to talk about sushi?”
When asked, Toko nodded despite thinking it sounded foolish hearing just that part.
“Well, that’s important, but there’s one other thing I wanted to discuss. It’s about that situation with the mithril.”
“Oh?”
The origins of the suspicion can be traced back to when Lohengrin, the Margrave – that is, Suzuha’s older brother – rounded up and captured the commanding officers of the Uentas Principality who had been occupying his territory.… Read more
“But Kanade, isn’t it hard to clean when it’s this big?”
“It’s okay. Kanade is strong, so any cleaning is a one-punch solution.”
“…Well if you say so, thanks.”
“Leave it to me.”
What has been troubling the reliable maid Kanade recently is apparently a cat.
“……Sniff sniff.”
“What’s wrong, Kanade?”
“I don’t know where it is, but I smell it.”
“A smell?”
“Yes. And my excellent maid senses are telling me…this is undoubtedly the scent of a thieving cat…!”… Read more
