189 Chapter 6 Episode 8 [Subpoena from the Royal Capital] Part 2




 That night, Ryoma woke up to the faintest hint of human presence.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.
 It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
 It is also the bedchamber of Mikoshiba Ryoma, where Igazaki's handlers set up a tenfold and twenty-fold vigilance net.
 It's not easy to visit this place, even if you are a member of their entourage, such as Rionne and Volz.
 It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of your time.
 A visit from an assassin is just a dream.
 But even with that level of security, Mikoshiba Ryoma has no reason to relax his guard.
 No matter how tightly he guarded himself, if he let down his guard, it would be meaningless, a fact that Ryoma had learned from history.
(Nobunaga, Ito Hirobumi........you have to protect yourself.......right?
 It must be a historical fact that Oda Nobunaga has carved a brilliant name in Japanese history as a champion of the Warring States period.
 However, just before the unification of Japan, such a great king met his untimely end at Honnoji temple in Kyoto due to the rebellion of his confidant, Mitsuhide Akechi.
 Many mysteries still remain about the Honnoji Incident.
 There are many theories, but it is said that Nobunaga led less than 1,000 troops at the time, including those led by his son, Nobutada.
 It could be said that the number of troops is too small for an influential man who was about to become the ruler of the country to lead.
 Since the Oda family had almost half of Japan in their hands, they could have taken tens of thousands of soldiers as their guards if they wanted to mobilize them.
 However, Oda Nobunaga did not choose to do so.
 Of course, whether he could foresee the rebellion of Mitsuhide Akechi, who was the chief vassal among the chief vassals, would be a delicate point.
 Also, Kyoto was in the sphere of influence of Oda family at that time.
 However, it is difficult to affirm Nobunaga's action because he could not foresee the rebellion.
 From Ryoma's point of view, Nobunaga's actions are nothing more than hubris and carelessness.
 It's just proof that there is no such thing as absolute security.
 He must have been thinking about it until the very end. The security for himself was excellent........
 The important thing is not to eliminate the possibility, right?
''Miyagata-sama I'm afraid to come to you at night...''
 A black shadow from the corner of the room speaks to Ryoma, who is lying in bed.

 Ryojin asked with his back to Yan Ou.
''Yes ... as you asked.
Well these days it's a blessing to have a full meal for everyone but the monsters living on the Worthenian peninsula... so what do you know?
 The shadow of Yan Ou, who had been kneeling in the corner of the room, stands up in response to the question.
''May I?''
Oh, wait a minute...
 At the question, Ryoma raised his body from the bed and lit the candle he had placed on the pillow.
''It was from the man in the example.
 With that said, Ryoma received a piece of paper presented to him and quickly checked the contents.
 There is a map on it that shows the roads in the northern part of Roselia with the city of Ipylos at the center.
 It's quite detailed and at a level that can be used for military purposes.
 That is to say, it is an item that no hardcore civilian would ever see.
''I see.......it was some spook after all.......''
 A loud sigh escaped from Ryoma's mouth.
 I had a faint sense of discomfort at the edge of the man's words, so I had him follow me to see what was going on, and it seems that Ryoma's decision was correct.

 In fact, it was natural for Ryouma to want to sigh.
 After all, ever since Ryoma took control of northern Roselia, until today, the city of Ipylos has become a place of information warfare for secret agents.
 Moreover, Ome, who is in charge of guarding the city of Seirios, reports that the number of people attempting to enter the Woltenia Peninsula has doubled.
 Fortunately, as far as the city of Seirios is concerned, its geographical factors have allowed for an almost perfect counter-intelligence system to be put in place, but unfortunately, the newly acquired Iphiroth and its surroundings will not be so easy.
(Well, there won't be any problems with the security of Iphiroth, since Gen Ou and the others are taking care of it.......)
 Regardless of how stringent the precautions are, information will always be leaked at some point.
 However, the assumption that information will be leaked is not an excuse to not take any countermeasures.
 Even though it is impossible to be perfect, it is necessary to strive for perfection.
 And we need to plan in advance what to do when it leaks.
(And....the question is, who's the guy?)
 The most likely candidate would be Queen Lupis and someone from the nobility who was loyal to her.
 However, Ryoma couldn't help but be curious about a certain character scrawled on the map.
(A mix of Roman and Arabic numerals........)
 The language in the earth world is completely different from that of the earth, which is called the back ground.
 Naturally, the letters and numbers are different, but fortunately, the summoning technique is said to have the ability to give the summoned person a translation function.
 Thanks to this, when Ryoma was summoned by Gaies Walkland, a court jury member of the Altomere Empire, he was able to speak with him as usual.
 And this translation function works automatically for characters as well.
 That's why Ryoma has never once felt any difficulty in communicating with others.
 But the language used in the Earth World is basically different from the language used on Earth.
 And people born in the Earth World basically use the language of the Earth World.
(So... two possibilities...)
 Ryoma could smell the scent of a person born on the same planet as him, Earth.
