Sorry for the last
release…





My smartphone (also
function as modem) broke down and it really hard to search for public-wifi in
the middle of rice-paddies, palm plantation and secondary tropical jungles
(secondary since they had been tampered by human activity). So until it get
fixed, I can only depend on my work friend’s goodwill to borrow their internet
connection (internet is not a cheap thing in my country).

Postwar Arc





Chapter 1 Project Lorelei B





Among the things that we acquired after Amidonia Dukedom’s Capital 『Van』capitulated, the one who made me extremely delighted was the Royal
Broadcast Orb. This was the only orb that the Amidonia Dukedom possessed and was
able to broadcast images to every receiver set in this country. Although I was told
that the Royal Broadcast Orb is a leftover artifact from an ancient
civilization and still wasn’t able to be produced by current technology, the
number of orbs discovered was so numerous that excluding the const.i.tuent small
countries of the Eastern Nations Alliance and the sapient Dragons’ self-governing
region Star Dragon Mountain Range, each nation (the number of the orbs per
nation differed though) possessed one.







However, basically the broadcasts won’t be able to be received by other
countries. Well, if it was possible, then the information meant for domestic
use would be known by other countries, so of course, it could also be used to
incite citizens like what I did in Crimson Dragon Castle Town. Since the
receiver set and the broadcast orb’s wavelength need to be configured before
being used, then perhaps it was like an AM-FM radio or something to do with a frequency.





That’s why when I obtained Amidonia’s sole Broadcast Orb, it could be said that
I now have the broadcasting rights monopoly for all receiver sets inside the Amidonia
Dukedom. Adding the Elfrieden Kingdom’s Broadcast Orb that I had brought, then Elfireden’s
first 『Entertainment Program』 could be simulcasted to two countries. Would this broadcast bring any
changes to the Amidonia Dukedom? Or would it not change anything? I was really
excited for it.

I swear I should have a shorter blog name.





『Van』 didn’t have anything like the 『Plaza Fountain』  that was installed with receiver
set to display Royal Broadcasts. Instead, the receiver set was installed at a
plaza -- it was only in name as it was just an empty field – at one end side of
Van. In the first place, the Royal Broadcast in this country itself was only
used on New Year’s to broadcast the Duke saying 『Don’t ever forget the grudge against Elfrieden. It is national policy to
recover the lost territory』 and this country’s national
policy. Because the citizens must gather to watch this New Year’s broadcast or
they will be punished for lese majeste, even if the citizens were sick or
bed-ridden old people, they would be fastened and carried on a stool as they
must not miss watching the broadcast.





And today, that young king of Elfrieden who had made 『Van』 capitulate, would perform a Royal Broadcast. Since most of the citizens
had received extensive indoctrination over many decades, they didn’t have any
good impressions about Elfrieden. However, currently there was a ma.s.s of
citizens gathered at the field to watch the broadcast. Perhaps this was because
of the habits created over many years that they must watch the broadcast or be
punished. But the people who carried the ill were turned away by the soldiers
who guarded the venue, 「Don’t overdo it.」





As the sun completely sunk down in the twilight sky, half of the gathered 『Van』’s citizens made confused expressions, while the other half were angry.
Because the n.o.bles and the Knights had completely left Van, what was left in
Van were just the common citizens who didn’t have anywhere to go. Naturally
they hadn’t received any decent information. Here and there, whispering could
be heard as the citizens discussed their future worriedly.





「d.a.m.n that Elfrieden King……
What does he intend to do by gathering everyone?」





「I took a peek at him when he
entered the castle, he looks like an effeminate man.」





「Don’t judge him by his looks. He
is someone who had led His Majesty Gaius around by his nose.」





「He will use the Royal
Broadcast, right? What does he intend to make us listen to?」





Do he want another harem member? Such is the question.





Because of the lack of information, the discussion continued in erratic directions.





「He can’t be possibly…
intending to conscript all the men as soldiers and send them to the front lines
for conquering all of Amidonia after this…… right?」





「No way! I am the breadwinner of my family. If I am conscripted, then what
will happen to them!?」





「We are the people who are on the
occupied side. It wouldn’t be strange if they did that to us…」





「No, that might be better. What
if they ordered us to hand over the women and children as slaves……」





「Well, if that is the desire of
the strong, they will do it using force rather than asking us. Perhaps they will
tell us to hand over all the beautiful girls inside this town.」





「Really? Then I might have to
hide my wife.」





「Who will want your wife after
seeing her?」





「You’re wron-……! Hey, it seems
to have started.」





When they were in the middle of various absurd conversations, the receiver
set at the center of the field began to project an image. The people thought
that the young king in a military uniform would appear, but contrary to their
expectations, it was showing a brown-haired beautiful Elf woman sitting behind
a table. The woman crossed both of her hands on the long table placed in front
of her and for some reason she didn’t sit facing the front, but was a facing bit
diagonally to the left. Of course, only the woman’s head was turned towards the
front.





Just like the ghost from the Ring.





The woman sat in a 『Mona Lisa’s Smile』 pose, which made her beauty
more radiant and particularly grabbed the hearts of the Amidonian men. The men
felt that it was as if they were sitting at a counter in a bar and having a
conversation with the woman was sitting beside them. Then, that woman began to
speak.





『Good evening everyone. This is
Chris Tachyon.』





This is a white text.





　◇　◇　◇





This is also a white text. Okay, I just trolling
reader with text reader.





「This program is 『NEWS Elfrieden』 a program that provides information to the citizens about the news from Elfrieden
Kingdom and the neighboring countries. The first news is……」





In a government affairs room at Van’s Castle, that had been hurriedly
transformed into a simple news studio (although we only placed a long table and
a chair, since there were already furnishings left-over in the room), Chris-san
began to read the news ma.n.u.script. Aisha and I were observing her from the
corner of the room that didn’t get projected by the orb. After watching her for
awhile, Aisha pulled my sleeve.





「What is it?」(Souma)





「Umm… Why do we project her diagonally
from the front?」(Aisha)





「Well…… Beauty style?」(Souma)





Aisha asked me with a small voice, but I can only answer her with such an answer.
The reason was because I remembered how the female news announcer in j.a.pan with
the 「Ometenashi」 speech[1]
sat in this position and I was just mimicking her. But when we held the
rehearsal before, Chris-san begged in tears that 「Ugh, my neck is cramped」, so this diagonal way of
projection might be the first and the last.





The content of the news was how about the details of the events in this
war. She explained in a simple way about how in order to subjugate Gaius VIII
and Julius who incited disturbances in the Kingdom to invade our Kingdom’s
territory, how the Elfrieden King, Souma, performed a counter invasion against the
Dukedom, defeated Gaius VIII, and made the capital 『Van』 capitulate. Aisha then tilted her head.





「Isn’t it better for Your
Majesty to directly make a speech about this information? Even though Your
Majesty’s fame might increase just like the time of the food gathering.」(Aisha)





「The situation is different
from that time. This broadcast is also transmitted to the entire Amidonia
Dukedom. No matter what the enemy country’s King say, the Dukedom’s citizens
wouldn’t want to hear it. But conveying the information through a third party
like this will do the trick well.」(Souma)





Well, when we discussed the content of the news ma.n.u.script with Hakuya and
the others, they gave out exaggerated ideas like 『Our Beloved Majesty the King for our welfare’s sake……』, but since it gave off a feeling “like a certain dictatorship somewhere”[2],
I rejected it. Ah well, even if she said such lines, Chris-san will still smoothly
read the news ma.n.u.script handwritten by Juna-san with a nice voice that was
pleasant to the ears.





「……so was the information we
received. Though currently, the Kingdoms Army remains in Amidonia Dukedom’s
Capital 『Van』, for the time being, hostilities have ceased between both sides.  Elfrieden’s King, Souma Kazuya, has released
the following statements regarding this. 『The current war is a war to
subjugate Gaius and Julius who had invaded our Kingdom, we will not extend the
war any further than this, it is not in our country’s intend to harm the
Dukedom’s citizens. Regarding the citizens of Van, we will give a.s.sistance, so
the citizens will be able to quickly return to their normal lives. Furthermore,
since Van is annexed as an Elfrieden territory, we will promise that it will
receive the same food aid available to the Kingdom’s cities and will also
undertake maintenance of any essential utilities.』 The one who is in charge of this task, Minister of Agriculture and
Forestry, Poncho Ishidzuka, will distribute food rations in Van tomorrow. We have
been informed that the viewer is encourage to invite their family members and
neighbors to go to the distribution.」





You can see me if you squint your eyes.





　◇　◇　◇





After all it is not completely white.





「What a joke!」





The new Amidonian Duke, Julius (it was just a self-given t.i.tle, since just like
Souma, he hasn’t had his enthronement ceremony yet), who was watching the
broadcast from a city nearby 『Van』, yelled and smashed the receiver unit with his sword, before immediately giving
an order to his subordinates.





「Quickly send out messengers to
each city to stop watching this joke of a broadcast!」





「「「Yes Your Highness.」」」





His subordinates quickly dispersed to send out messenger soldiers. Looking at
them until they left, Julius glared towards 『Van』’s direction.





「Telling us that he doesn’t
have any intend to harm the Dukedom’s citizens after stealing our capital city,
what impudent words to say! Foolish invaders, Van will surely be taken back!」





If Souma heard this, he might say 「You are the last person I want
to hear that from」. While saying such words with indignation, Julius yelled in such an agitated
manner. However, even if he said to inform each city, it wasn’t like the order would
be immediately delivered to those cities, moreover since he had been defeated in
battle, Julius had lost his unifying force and didn’t have any actual controlling
power over every city. So, in reality the order was only executed in the city
where Julius stayed in and the surroundings cities. In other words, nearly all
of the cities in the Amidonia Dukedom continued to watch Souma’s broadcast.





After all, either this or watching crow flies.





The reaction of the Amidonia Dukedom’s citizens after watching this
broadcast was mostly split into two. First, Van’s citizens were relieved since it
didn’t say that they were to be conscripted and sent to the frontlines or to 「hand over your properties, wives and daughters」. Just by being occupied, it was already quite a pressure. On the other
hand, the people that lived in the cities and villages outside Van were interested
not by 「Gaius VIII’s death」 or 「Souma started this war with a just cause」, but instead by 「as an Elfieden territory, it will receive the same food aid available to
the Kingdom’s cities」.





Of course, the Amidonian people were in half-doubt over these words and
mostly didn’t believe it. After all, they were the words of the King of an
enemy country. Everyone would just think that they were just words to win them over
to his side…… However, it was the truth that Souma’s words had deeply
penetrated into the heart of the Amidonian people who had been plagued by a
food shortage even worse than the Elfriedens. For the ones who were suffering
from it, it had penetrated even deeper.





If you see this, don’t forget to visit the original.

By the way there are three white text troll lines. Be
careful.





「……for the present situation,
regarding our country’s medical treatment……」





Ten minutes had pa.s.sed since Chris’ News Program started. The news that she
presented right now were the final news items. After this News Program ends,
finally the 『Popular Song Show』 will begin. Aisha, who stood beside me, was grabbing at my arm with a
nervous expression. The hand grabbing me was trembled a bit.





「Wh-what should I do, Your
Majesty. The trembling won’t stop.」(Aisha)





「Calm down. This is the second
time you appeared on a broadcast, right?」(Souma)





「But last time, I was just
eating, so it was alright……」(Aisha)





Yes. The current popular music show’s presenter was me and the a.s.sistant,
Aisha. I don’t have any intention for her to do the hosting, but since the
other people who could be pushed for the task, Poncho, was busy with
preparations for food ration distribution, and Hakuya, who firmly denied it by
saying he wasn’t suitable for this. That’s why I was stuck with Aisha who was
clattering her teeth.





「Hah…… In the battlefield, you
are very gallant, but in this field why are you so disappointing?」(Souma)





I scratched my head while feeling astonished, so Aisha just dropped her
shoulders and moaned.





「Uuu… I have confidence that I
won’t be defeated by anyone in the battlefield. However, I don’t have any
confidence in the field of beauty. There a lot of people prettier than me,
right? Like Princess-sama or Juna-dono, they are delicate fair-skinned
beautiful short young ladies. I am dark-skinned and muscled……」[3](Aisha)





Even if she said she was muscled, she was not as muscular as a body
builder. Or rather, she had a shapely figure to the extent that it was
mysterious how she could swing a large sword without being bulging with
muscles. Moreover, her height was like a model’s and since it was always
covered by armor, it was hard to see it, sbut she had a figure that was better
than average. On the contrary, shouldn’t it be Liscia who would be envying her
instead?





「Hm. Aisha is already
beautiful.」(Souma)





「I-Is that so!?」(Aisha)





Aisha blushed from being praised. However, she quickly calmed down.





「B-but, Your Majesty. As expected…
as expected… the host should be Juna-san or Princess-sama……」(Aisha)





「Juna-san will be singing, so she
will be too busy to become a host, while for Liscia to be the a.s.sistant…… I
think it would be better to give it up for awhile this time.」(Souma)





「? Did something happened?」(Aisha)





「Perhaps it’s because I am
somewhat anxious to be the host. To put it bluntly, rather than Aisha’s ability
as an a.s.sistant, I am expecting more from your ability as a bodyguard. If
something happens, then Aisha would go to my side and protect me, right?」(Souma)





「That is certainly…… Eh!? Will
there be something dangerous!?」(Aisha)





With a plop, I put my hand on the worried Aisha’s forehead.





「Well, perhaps it will be
alright. When that time arrives…… Please protect this sad excuse of a man.」(Souma)





「Your Majesty…… Yes! I will
become Your Majesty’s Shield! This body too will be *mumble*mumble*」(Aisha)





I quickly put my hand over Aisha’s mouth.





「Your voice is too loud. We are
still on a live broadcast right now.」(Souma)





「*mumble*…… So-sorry.」(Aisha)





Hurm, as expected, she is a disappointing dark elf after all.





「……or so was the information we
received. This is 『NEWS Efrieden』 reporting…… The next program will be Elfrieden’s first entertainment
program broadcast. For the viewers who aren’t in a hurry, please watch the next
program.」





Ulps, Chris-san’s program seems to be finished. Well, now is our part. The
recording place for the Popular Song Show wouldn’t be in this room, but would
be carried out at an atrium hall that was used for banquet dance. There were
already tables prepared where some of the soldiers were sitting just like in a『Cable Awards Ceremdeony』.[4]
Since the presence or the absence of audience would influence the climax. Then,
I held out my hand in front of Aisha.





「Now, let’s go, Aisha.」(Souma)





「Okay, I will accompany you
anywhere!」(Aisha)





See you next week!
