BXBX NOVEL Chapter 96
William, who went to see the situation in the drawing room, came back to Emma’s room while pondering something.
He never heard of the personal history of the one who built this mansion, but there’s a peep room attached where people could sneak a look inside the drawing room.
“Well… the people who came with His Majesty… the diplomats, I guess, were all prostrating to Father and Mother.”
” “What kind of situation is that!?” “
Just what exactly happened for them to fall into that situation?
Emma and George also tilted their heads in confusion alongside William.
“Looks like the Kingdom wants the diplomacy with Imperial Japan to succeed no matter what. Imperial Japan, too, looks forward to this diplomatic relation because they are requesting aid for their food shortage. But the language barrier issue seems serious.”
Emma, who had changed from her sleepwear to everyday clothes after waking up, changed back again to her sleepwear just in case. She sat on her bed and analyzed the information from William’s spying.
“The Kingdom didn’t attach that much importance to Imperial Japan before… Has something happened?”
Imperial Japan on the map was only a small country, not even 1/10 the size of the Kingdom. Like other countries, it was located on a peninsula facing the sea, so the monster appearing scope could be kept as narrow as possible.
The country had been isolated for a long time, and no records of diplomatic relations could be found even tracing back to 300 years ago.
“The information in our library’s books is not enough…”
Emma asked George to bring books about foreign countries and maps from the library earlier. She had read them all, but it didn’t progress as she expected.
It took time to find the word “Imperial Japan” in a book, and it was hard to get the information she wanted. She couldn’t help but think, if only there’s a smartphone…
“I have never really felt dissatisfied with this world, but… I want a smartphone!”
“I want to ask Mr. Goo*le to search for it.”
“If we look it up, it will definitely pop up on Wi**pedia or something… Come to think of it, it’s a reincarnation in another world, so there should be, um, that? status panel thingy that appears, right?”
” “!!” “
The cliché reincarnation trope, [Status].
Now that William mentioned it, they had never tried it. Emma and George looked at each other’s faces at William’s words. They were surprised how they could forget about it until just now.
“Eh? Then if we open [Status], we can use magic and items we got when we played in our previous life?”
They had tried using magic before but had totally forgotten about [Status]. It’s possible that to use magic wasn’t to shout out the spell, but like in RPGs where they chose the magic in the status panel.
Perhaps their reincarnation cheat… would begin now.
“No, no, we have never played games like otome games, haven’t we!?”
William regained his composure.
When he first realized he reincarnated, he already confirmed that fact.
“It’s too early to give up! I have played the Takeda Shingen capture game before, you see.”
(T/N: Takeda Shingen capture game was once mentioned in chapter 4. It was a real-time tactics smartphone game based on the life of Takeda Shingen (one of the most famous military leaders in historical Japan). Emma mistook capture game, as in “knocking down enemies,” as one kind of otome game, that is “capturing love targets”)
Minato had never played a Western otome game, but now that Imperial Japan with a Japanese taste appeared, maybe they reincarnated in the world of that smartphone game “Sengoku Otome History ~The Warlord’s Love is Full of Ups and Downs~.” Just that they somehow fell into a twisted pattern of reincarnating in a different country by mistake.
Now Emma felt regrettable that the capturable warlords other than Takeda Shingen were only youths around 20 years old and hadn’t accomplished anything.
But if that’s so, it might be possible to summon the Takeda army with the strongest item, “Samurai Banner Flag.”
……
……?
It didn’t have any purpose even if she had it, though…
No, if she had “Mt. Koshu -the large toilet with an all-ranging function,” she could use a comfortable toilet… anytime anywhere… But what for?
Even if it’s that smartphone game… would it be alright? Maybe they didn’t really need any items…
“We can’t tell unless we try, right? Let’s do it once?”
