Chapter 33.2. Yamiyo In Training
-Yamiyo’s POV-
“We Marquis hae both wealth and power. Of course, we also have military might. This time, I gave you the family heirloom as a quick way to gain power. But you don’t need to say more than that, do you?”
Yamiyo felt the kindness in the depths of her father’s stern eyes, and nodded. He’s a rather Spartan father, but still kind.
“The range that a single sword can protect is small. And there is really very little that can be protected by military force. You need to lay the groundwork in the political arena. Hire a strong bodyguard, keep checks and balances around you, increase your network of allies, right?”
“Exactly. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that the heir to the marquis family can protect everything just by wielding a sword.”
It’s true. Yamiyo’s direction and effort was wrong. If this is a person of ordinary origins, it would be fine. However, she’s a member of the marquis family. She can and must take various other means.
“Mmm……… those are harsh words. Then I will follow your recommendation and make time to play with Mii-sama starting tomorrow.”
She answered with a calm face, but Yamiyo was doing a dance of joy inwardly. Tomorrow, I’ll bring Mii-Sama’s favorite snack. Would chocolate be good?
Ouga smiling wryly, as if he could see right through her, invites Yamiyo to talk again.
This time, Yamiyo stopped her training and followed Ouga.
They return to the living room and sit across the table from each other. Yamiyo straightens her back, knowing that her father has something important to say.
Yamiyo confirms the lady-in-waiting puts her coffee on the table, bows, and lefts, while Ouga lifts his coffee cup and takes a sip. Yamiyo’s is Horn Rabbit Cow’ iced milk, drizzled with Honey Bee honey, and the coldness is gently sweet and comforting.
“Actually, we have decided to promote Takano Yoshiyuki-dono a noble.”
“Baron, right? Has Mii-sama’s father finally made up his mind?”
Yamiyo has also heard about it. It is impossible for a commoner to protect Mii-sama, the recovery magician.
“No, he’ll became a viscount. I presented it to His Majesty and he accepted it.”
“Viscount? Is there a reason for that?”
The unexpected words made Yamiyo unable to hide her surprise. Even when he become a Baron, Mii-sama’s father could protect Mii-sama from other nobles, and there alot of barons, so it’s okay. The only thing about nobility is honor. Since he’s a noble, other nobles can’t be too forceful.
But it is a different story if he’s a viscount. From viscounts and up are the ‘real noble’. Everyone is the president of some company and has financial power. Unlike in medieval times, they do not have territory, but they still receive preferential treatment in the form of taxes.
That was one of the causes of the widening gap between nobles and commoners, since the more money they made, the more they were treated favorably.
That is why it is so hard to become a viscount; only about 100 families are viscounts. Even though Mii-sama’s father is the former second son of a count, he is a commoner, and with all due respect, Yamiyo doesn’t think it would be possible for Mii-Sama’s father, who has no assets to become a viscount.
But becoming a viscount, there must be something going on. It can only be about Mii-sama.
“Actually, Miu-chan healed someone of their magic disease.”
With that one word, she understood. In order to protect Mii-sama, Yamiyo was desperately investigating the current situation of the recovery magic users. Miu could have looked into it too, but she did not. It’s because her knowledge of the game was against her.
“There are only ten recovery magicians who can heal magic diseas now, aren’t there?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, now Mii-sama is 9 years old. If she can heals magic disease, she’ll even heal disability in the future.”
Mii-sama is a genius. She will surely be able to heal it. So it’s an up-front investment. Yamiyo will have to be by her side more and more to protect her.
“If Yoshiyuki-dono become a viscount, it will be easy to promote Miu-chan to the rank of knight, and she’ll also be engaged to a high ranking noble.”
“Eh?”
“Kohoh, that’s the way it is for now. You must protect her. The girl is not a good fighter. She is a typical recovery magician.”
Yamiyo thought she heard some auditory hallucination, but it was just her imagination. Thank goodness. She’s wondered why her father was coughing. She wonder if it’s a cold. We’ll have to be careful as we enter the rainy season.
“Certainly. I understand. I swear to protect Mii-sama for the rest of her life.”
Yaito swear by this [Night Heaven].
Mii-Sama is a recovery magician. Yamiyo, who have combat power, financial power, and power, must protect her.
Yamiyo made a strong determination and raised the [Night Heaven] high.
The current Yamiyo has diverged greatly from the Yakuya of the novel. How it will affect the original story, even God will not know.
However, Yamiyo has grown up one step more for the sake of her best friend.
At least, there was no longer any possibility for bugs to get close to Mii-sama.
