Chapter 79.1. The Plot Swirls Around!
Takano Miu is 10 years old. At this age, she’s the head of the Count Takano family.
“Papa, what’s a pitcher (とうしゅ/house master)?”
I’m more of a hitter, right? DH, please.
“I’ll teach you later, Mii-chan.”
I tug a bit on my dad’s hem, and he answers in a whisper before leveling off to the emperor.
“Haha. A notice from Your Majesty. Yoshiyuki has accepted the task!”
.
It was a time-honored way of speaking. I hear it’s one of the things that hasn’t changed since the Warring States period. It’s cool.
But the content is the problem. I didn’t want to accept it.
The reason for this is the result of a complicated mix of factors.
First, the basic premise is the great march of the Scissors Mantis. During an event that would have resulted in the deaths of so many people and the downfall of the emperor’s prestige into the abyss, there were aliens who, of all things, caused a problem.
Even if it was only to show a hidden trick., the stupid aliens used dangerous magic. At that time, Grandma Ryusui was overlooking it, but the emperor had casually gathered guards so that it would not affect the surroundings.
The placement of security has changed thanks to the aliens. When the stampede happened, the nobles were also badly damaged. Now, who was the one who attracted the guard’s attention at that time?
The answer, of course, is Takano Arashi. I guess Grandma Ryusui had set him on fire, but I have no proof. And even if she didn’t, it is highly possible that she would have done the same thing.
Therefore, the lenient punishment of keeping his head down and keeping him under house arrest for a while, as Grandpa Kazamichi had planned, became impossible. The reason was that he get suspected of being one of the Loki gang.
Though if you look at his stupid appearance, you might agree with me that that’s not going to happen. At least Arashi has been disinherited.
Then the question is, who will be the next head of the family? He can’t let the Takano family go out of business. After all, it’s a major company in the transportation business. If he tried to divide the company and have a branch family manage it, chaos would be inevitable. The emperor wants to prevent unemployment in the aftermath.
He also doesn’t want to split up a major company that controls distribution. That’s a world of dungeons and monsters. Major transportation companies are indispensable for transporting relief supplies and military equipment.
Even if he tried to have other major companies absorb them, none would be willing to do because of fear or confusion. Even if he tries to make other major companies absorb it. They’ll know the Takano family owned the company. They won’t do that because of fear or confusion. It wasn’t possible to easily acquire other chains like in my previous life. And there’s no good in acquiring a company if they can’t use wind magic.
But he can’t leave Arashi behind. Kazamichi must be made to retire as well. And even if we choose one of the branch families as the head of the family, it will inevitably confuse for a while.
Above all, it’s known that the Takano family has a child prodigy. A beautiful girl who can imitate a baboon and a giraffe very well.
In addition to being a recovery magician, she can also use wind magic in her shadow, and Loki has shown her true potential. Damn it, Loki. She was the one who fired his [Cyclone Blade] and created a fake wind ward. From the scene at that time, people thought Miu had high-level wind magic aptitude.
This theory was extremely convincing. After all, the Takano family is famous for wind magic. They were supposed to awaken to wind magic. But for some reason, she awakens to holy attribute. Since she had been focusing only on recovery magic, she didn’t realize she had two attributes, holy attribute, and wind attribute.
I was also aware of the possibility of being kidnapped by a fake Viscount with neither military might nor financial resources. Even though there are only 31 healing magicians, it would be very troublesome if they get kidnapped. Even if you say the Teijou family is behind me, they had their limits. The back shield is, after all, a shield that only protects you from behind. They have shown those around them that they will always lag in direct intervention.
If they’re the head of the 36 families, they have the authority to move anywhere with an escort. They have the power to do whatever they want, and the financial resources, power, and military might the ready.
Yes, let’s make the lovely-lovely Takano Miu, the head of the family. That is what he thought. That is why Duke Ryusui was persuading my dad.
Even my dad realized he could not protect her in her current state. Mii-chan is fine because she can protect herself.
So he accepted on the condition that Grandpa Kazamichi should retire and that they have separate places to live. My information source was Frigg. Was that onee-san the god of espionage? Frigg-onesaan humbly said that the information was easy to get, but I suspect that the standard of easy is very hard for the average person.
I’m the head of the family. It’s a result of all kinds of crossed speculations. Honestly, it’s awkward. I’m sorry, Papa and Mama. I apologize from the bottom of my heart.
Even if he retired, in the end, Kazamichi is the only one who can create ritual magic tools at the highest level of wind magic, his influence won’t disappear that much. There will be those who despise my dad, who can’t use magic, and there may be those who will try to take over, taking advantage of the opportunity.
I can’t make a ritual magic tool with my game specs. But it’s possible, though. It’s a gamble I’m willing to try. I will try it next time.
“You can’t run a family business from the Ministry of Magic, so I’ll lend you my men who good at management for 3 years. During that time, you will lay the groundwork and solidify the foundation.”
“Yes! Thank you very much.”
The emperor’s kind consideration. He’s lending his people so my dad won’t be in trouble. He’s very kind. I can’t help but cry at the thought of him trying to take over my family and make me his puppet.
