Chapter 259
[Anyways.]Count Bozes
Aahh, the topic still goes on.
[What are you going to do?]Count Bozes
No, even if you ask me that.
Wh, wha, what could I do?
Beatrice-chan worriedly looking at me in silence.
She was so thrilled with yesterdays debutante ball and the performances, but thats not the case right now. And she fully understands that this is a discussion that will affect her life from now on.
Yes, Beatrice-chan is not so stupid as to interfere abruptly in a

[You shouldnt bully Mitsuha that much]Iris
Ooh, here comes the backup from Iris-sama!
[No, Im not bullying her in any way. Its just a little discipline!]Count Bozes
Oh, yeah, hes not
[Im sorry]Mitsuha
When I apologized, he didnt scold me further, and we decided to discuss what we needed to consider anyway.
[Well, we can refuse the engagement application. However, some of them are dukes with royal blood, you know. But, even if they wanted to, they cant simply make a move. It would be bad to anger the goddess if Beatrice got engaged and married right after she got appointed as a saint. And its all because of Mitsuhas fault.
Eventually, unmarried high-ranking nobles and royalty from other countries may come, but no one would be foolish enough to give away a saint to another country, so the royal officials will stop them.
The problem is]Count Bozes
Yeah, about the
The church, upper nobility, and royalty will try to take her in
Most of the nobles and the King in this country are relatively decent people. And no one would be stupid enough to forcibly take in the saint. However, even the ones with good intentions will say,
Especially the church, or the church, or maybe the church, and even the church
Umu, Ive been into some pretty sticky situations before. Those guys wanted me to become a priestess so bad, even if it was just to register my name.
Apparently, they wanted to take advantage of the name value of the hero who saved the kingdom,
I dont want to get involved in that kind of scam where they take advantage of peoples names.
No, its not like they were trying to do anything bad with it. They just wanted to increase the number of donations and worshipers, by selling Hime Miko merchandise and hold some events in the name of Hime Miko of Thunder
No way in hell I would want that!
[Shall I make Beatrice-chan a
Each option has its own advantages and disadvantages, right?
Moreover, everyone knows that Im involved in this anyways because I gave them advance notice about it]Mitsuha
Nevertheless, they still think that thing is a
[To begin with, except for a few people, the general populace of the royal capital believes that Mitsuha has connections to the Goddess.
And if Beatrice, who is related to Mitsuha, is to become a saint, it is no wonder that Mitsuha was given a prophecy by the goddess in advance and was entrusted with the task of laying the groundwork so that the people of the capital would not be surprised and confused by the miracle of the blessing]Count Bozes
Ah~
Yes, they think that , so theyll think that , in other words, I made a divine oracle.
If so, the fact that I warned them, or convinced them, or
If thats the case
[Then, lets ignore them!]Mitsuha
[[[Eh?]]]
The Count, Iris-sama, and Beatrice-chan, basically everyone except me, let out a sound of surprise.
[Theres no need to go to the trouble of making a formal statement, is there? Everyone in the capital has seen the facts with their own eyes, so theres no need for us to go out of our way to explain them, right?
If you try to explain it, then you have to insist that its true, and if its later found out or contradicted, that wont be good, isnt it?
If you dont explain anything, we wont be responsible for anything. We dont have to be responsible for what the people who watched that thing assumed on their own, do we?]Mitsuha
[[[]]]
Also, the Count doesnt have to worry about being screwed over by someone saying,
After thinking about it for a while and being convinced by my explanation, the three of them nodded their heads at me, who said something unusually brilliant
[But what should I say if they asked me? As expected, if His Majesty the King or the Archbishop asks me, I cant just ignore it, can I?]Beatrice
Beatrice-chan asked me something that sounded supremely plausible.
Yeah, thats the problem right there.
[Be quiet, put a batten on your mouth with your finger, and say,
Oh, while the nobles and church officials might ask you about it, His Majesty and the Prime Minister wont, so youre safe on that front.]Mitsuha
Ive asked His Majesty and the Prime Minister to let us use the castle grounds as the launch site and Ive explained to them about the fireworks at that time. Naturally, Ive told the guards at the castle as well.
So, a certain number of people from the royal court know the truth. This is another reason why I cant make Beatrice-chan be a saint.
Well, its hard to live a decent life when youre hailed as a saint.
Leave that kind of thing to a commoner girl who wants to marry the crown prince, okay?
[Such a spectacular miracle of blessing, and theres nothing to stop it! Its as if the goddess turned into a horse I cant believe theres even the slightest inconvenience to her ability to think!]Beatrice
Beatrice-chan complained about that, but Yeah, youre right.
But well, it doesnt matter if the non-existent goddess is considered somewhat of a horse
No brave man would be able to openly insult the Goddess. With this level of civilization, religious beliefs, and after the
All right, thats it, were done with that case!
[So, how about the preparation for the performance for Her Highness the Third Princess Sabine and His Highness the Second Prince Luchen? One that far surpasses yesterdays presentation.]Count Bozes
Ugh
Moving on to the next problem and the biggest one to boot
[Ive been thinking of doing a
[[[Wha!!!]]]
The Count, Iris-sama, and Beatrice-chan opened their eyes wide and shouted.
Yeah, I was in a hurry and thought about various things.
The former includes flight formation of the anti-submarine patrol aircraft, aerobatic flights by teams such as the Air Self-Defense Forces Blue Impulse and the U.S. Air Forces Thunderbirds, and a formation of combat helicopters flying with
They cant do on-site training in advance, so they wont get a good grasp of the ground target for the aerobatic flight, but I can allow them to take aerial photos and make a chart in advance. If we remove the highly difficult techniques from the program, they should manage it Theyre
For the latter, Im thinking of tanks, self-propelled artillery, mortars, guided missiles, etc Well, something thats a few tenths the size of Japans total firepower exercises.
Of course, the request should not be made to Japan, but to the other countries that are more
If I asked the military of some country through the
Im sure theyll ask for a certain reward, but Im sure theyll take care of it if I give them a bucket of seawater or a couple ofHallucigeniaor something like that.
And in fact, I have another must-have idea that I just came up with.
A
The audience were amateurs who had never seen such spectacle in their entire lives. It doesnt matter if they are a little rough around the edges.
Thats already three. If I have this many ideas, I can manage the event somehow.
[So, is that something that can be implemented at the Royal Castle?]Count Bozes
Ah
The aerobatics exhibition, laser show, and projection mapping will be fine, but the Total Firepower Dragon Breath Exercise is absolutely impossible! Well have to go to some vast wasteland somewhere
