「......本当に大丈夫なのでしょうか?」
「さぁな、無能であればそのままこの場で公開凌辱といくところだが......その心配はないのだろう?」
「えェ、むしろご自身の心配をした方が良いですヨ」
「ふん、スラム育ちの目利きがどれだけ当てになるか......」
おっと、私が考え事をしている間に二人が険悪な雰囲気を出してしまったな。
無能であれば潰した後に無理やり、有能であれば信頼を積み上げて聞き出そう......手に負えない存在ならば知らないフリだ。
「これより主賓を迎える!」
この場に居る一部の者しか理解できない言語で喋る他国の彼女が......この国の礼儀作法で挨拶する様に思わず感動してしまう。
この国の言語の習得すらまだであるくらい、この国を知って日が浅いだろうに......そんな彼女が祖国の礼儀作法だけは完璧に覚えている。
......なるほど、ギランが殺せない訳だ。
「なぜこの場に......」
『さて、今回のパーティーではグレゴリウス様の支援者たちを納得させなければならないのでしたね』
「あ、あぁ、そうだ......皆の者紹介しよう! 彼女が私の協力者だ!」
っといけない......あちらの勢いに呑まれてはダメだ。
『今日は皆さんにサプライズプレゼントがあります』
「......ほう? サプライズとな? どんなものか楽しみだ」
ふむ......先ずは最初に賄賂や希少な品を融通する事でこちらの気を引こうと言うのか?
思わず通訳も忘れて聞き返してしまう......私の他にも『アリューシャ諸言語』が使える者たちが呆気に取られ、彼女の言葉が理解できない者たちは不安げに周囲を見渡す。
「大変ですグレゴリウス様! ファストリア商会の軍勢が迫って来ています!」
"Will things really be okay?" Gillian asked me.
"Don't worry, if the girl is incompetent, then I can just push all the blame of whatever happens to her, and that will be that." I replied.
"I mean... I think you should be worrying about yourself." Gillian replied.
"Those nobodies' smell disgust me..." Another one said.
They both went silent to my words... Truly uninteresting people they are.
Gillian told me that Reiko is actually a pseudonym, but that's irrelevant. I'll see now if she's competent and worth working together with, or if she's a worthless person that needs to be crushed.
"Everyone, let us welcome our guest of honor!" As I loudly stated that, the venue went quiet, "Please enter, Reiko!"
Then, as the door opened, she came inside while being accompanied by a gigantic knight, "Thank you for inviting me today." She said in her native language. Most people here couldn't understand it, but her manners clearly showed politeness, which was plenty.
Though I have to say it is strange that she came to this country without even learning the language first, but I suppose that's not something for me to worry about.
I see... No wonder Gillian couldn't kill this one.
"Why is that here...?" Another asked.
"So, we came to this party to talk to the supporters of Gregoir." Reiko nonchalantly said.
"T-that's right! Everyone, she is my collaborator!" I exclaimed, trying to regain control of the situation.
Don't be afraid, don't be swallowed by the momentum. She surely took me off guard, but this is my ball, I won't let you do as you please here.
"Oh, and by the way, I brought a present to you all." Reiko said.
"A present? That was unexpected... I wonder what it might be." I replied.
Is she trying to bribe them first before winning them over? That's not a bad plan, I suppose.
Even the interpreter couldn't react to those words, but those that could understand the language went pale at her statement.
"L-lord Gregoir! The forces of Fastria are approaching!" One of my soldiers rushed inside the venue while uttering those words, "They sent a messenger, saying that, 'We'll defeat the evil Serdis that is trying to get rid of the princess without going through a legitimate election!' milord!"
