Chapter 42

“Summon a novel!”

[Tell us about to summon]

“”

[Using cash summon ]

[Use to extract the female protagonist’s ability in ]

Flippp—

The existing character is shining in pages of the book and it starts to engrave new characters and disappear.

And the four heart cut crystals.

There were five abilities to extract, and I was using one, so there were only four left.

“I have to pick well.”

If I pick something like again this time, I’m really doomed.

I only have one chance left!

I swallowed my saliva and chose the crystal on the far right.

Please, please.

[You chose the capability ]

“T, tax bomb?”

It was the ability when a small citizen heard it, they’ll start to tremble.

But tax payment is the duty of a law-abiding citizen!

Looking at the name of the ability alone, I was wondering if this was what I wanted.

[Equipped with skills]

The jewelry I was holding flew blue and permeated the transparent side of the crystal on the cover of the book.

Now both crystals have turned red.

[Capability ]

-Synopsis:

The other possessor met the emperor, a tyrant who wasn’t talkative, but who was good at his work when helping the people, and they fell in love with each other. Why did I become an aide to such a real tyrant? I also play the role of dying if the country goes bankrupt.

“But there’s no need for the national treasury to be this empty!”

You need money to roll the country! There were so many corrupt people that exploited the people’s blood.

I’m going to crush all of these punks first. This is a passage in which the female protagonist of was trembling and angry.

As the emperor’s hands and feet, under the spell of linking the country and life, she had no choice but to assist the tyrant harder to survive.

The first thing she did to refill the empty treasury was to investigate tax evasion.

How you use this ability is entirely at your discretion.

-Capacity Effect: You can track the income of the income earner you encounter and collect it after taxation.

-Available number: 0/5.

Ha, just by looking at that short phrase, the fun of that time came back to life.

Writer, why did you only write 80 episodes?

Why didn’t you write 500 episodes?

I’m crying because it was completed while working for the female lead.

But I just want you to work for 500 episodes.

“Hehe!”

As long as it’s not tomorrow.

As long as it’s not tomorrow!

Come to think of it, the female lead of really worked like a cow, so she had a lot of good abilities.

Of course, there are many abilities that I think I can use well in the future.

As expected, the most cost-effective!

“I picked the ability I wanted there!”

Female lead’s ability to track funds.

“Good, good!”

Receiving bribes is also an earned income!

Illegal income is also income, so of course it can be tracked!

Not only that, but also taxation and collection can be done.

“Of course, I don’t know what the law will be like here to avoid taxes.”

Of course, the tax law will be different since it’s a different country so the world view is different too.

‘In addition, how do I collect taxes here?’

There is no way to tell illegal income earners to pay taxes and say, ‘Yes, I understand’.

‘Well, since it’s such an ability, it’ll be alright.’

I will find out when I use it.

‘The only problem is that I have to see the face of the earner.’

The Heroine of was able to track only the income of earners when face to face as written in the ability window.

“Will there be a chance for me to meet those big enough people who bribes?”

At least it would be at the level of an elder.

I think it will be possible to attend the meeting like last time, but I have to wait too long.

Oh, it would be convenient for me to have an assistant set up and participate in the family’s work.

“Should I just stay in my dad’s office?”

But I don’t know when he will come either.

What should I do?

* * *

“If you want to meet all the key figures in the family, you can aim for the upcoming New Year’s feast,”

Ares said with a smile.

My eyes were sparkling at once.

“Oh, it’s the New Year’s party soon!”

The New Year’s party in the world of Rofan!

I’m so excited!

“I couldn’t even attend the New Year’s feast when I was at the marquis Tarenka.”

At that time, I helped run errands in a hectic kitchen.

They didn’t even feed me properly, so I hurriedly pushed the food left by the guests into my mouth.

“But it’s different now! The banquet hall will be really pretty, right? How is it decorated? And people dress up nicely! Elegantly like this! Say hi! The fan was also gentle!”

I grabbed the skirt and said hello in a circle, and then waved a hand fan.

Just imagining it makes my eyes happy!

“Are you that excited?”

“Yes, of course!”

I nodded vigorously to Ares, who smiled and asked.

“A full-decorated banquet hall and people dressed up. What else would my brother be looking forward to?”

“And, and in the midst of that noble and elegant attitude, a secret social struggle!”

“….Huh?”

“That’s another battlefield! A harsh world where you hide swords in your tongues and stab each other! That’s the politics of society!”

“…”

“Who has the upper hand? You have to prove yourself! At times, with dignity! Sometimes childish!”

“….”

“But those who can’t even join the fight will watch the fight and make fierce calculations on which side to compete!”

Yes, yes!

It’s such a wonderful grand banquet.

“… Who taught my sister that?”

Thousands of novels are my teachers!

I blinked my eyes.

“Oh, and there must be a lot of delicious food. Cake, chocolate, and pudding!”

There were also women who participated in political battles, but there were many women who were in a state of gourmet.

Heroines usually eat a lot of delicious food.

That’s how delicious banquet food is, right?

“Is there a chocolate fountain?”

Ares, who was looking at me with an expression of seeing an amazing creature, smiled eventually.

“There has been no chocolate fountain so far,”

He pinched me on the cheek.

“I see what my sister wants, so I’ll have to tell them to make it.”

“Wow!”

I raised my arms and hugged Ares tightly.

“Ares is cool!”

Ares’ face overlooking me had a smile.

It was not winter, but a smile as if spring had come.

Maybe

Perhaps warm spring has begun to come as frozen ice gradually melts between Ares and I.

As I stared blankly, Ares suddenly became serious.

Winter came again in an instant.

You’re pushing me away again.

It’s meaningless to rebel against Lulu’s cuteness!

I worked hard to strengthen my weakened mind with excitement and nasal energy.

[-203]

But it’s gotten a lot better!

“Anyway, so all the vassals will attend the New Year’s banquet?”

“They almost attend unless they’re sick enough to move. Rather, attendance is higher than that of monthly conventions.”

“Really?”

“Even senior citizens who step back from the front line and don’t attend monthly meetings come.”

“Wow! That’s good!”

Then we’ll be able to track their income face to face!

“So, can you tell me now?”

“Huh?”

Ares lifted me up and sat me next to him.

“The reason why you asked when you could see the main figures of the family.”

“That’s because I’m finally back in writing the Duchy. It’s because I think it’ll be good for each other to say hello.”

“Not to check who the mastermind of the traitors are?”

Ares stared at me and raised the corners of his mouth.

“Ares, you’re so quick-witted.”

Well, I thought Ares would naturally notice.

Ares opened his eyes loosely and held his chin.

“That’s weird. Why do you want to meet them? Just because you see each other’s faces doesn’t mean you’ll know.”

Sick!

You’re really quick at catching things!

I closed my mouth like a clam.

“I can’t dig it up after saying a few words.”

Hmm, Ares looked at me with a suspicious gaze.

“It’s not like you’re putting ‘I got a bribe’ on your forehead.”

“Oh, yeah. Right! Who would put that on their

foreheads? Of course, it seems to me. Hehe, you’re not a perv!”

“Hmm…”

Although in my eyes, “Peek-a-boo!” “I have a tax evasion!”

I can see that it was something similar, but…

Anyway, I think he put it on himself.

Pouting.

Ares’ gaze stings.

“No, I tried to make a plausible argument after finding out who it was,”

so I couldn’t help it.

I sighed and seriously looked at Ares.

“Because Ares is my partner.”

“It’s temporary.”

Seriously.

“Yeah, Ares is a temporary partner and my brother, so I’ll let you know.”

Ares’ eyes also became serious.

After coughing loudly, I lowered the volume and opened my mouth.

“In fact, I mean,”

I stopped talking and looked around for a while.

Of course, there were only Ares and I in the room.

But there’s nothing bad about it!

When I made a cave with my hands, Ares brought his ears with a careful face.

I whispered in Ares’ ear.

“I can use the method of interest!”

“What?”

Ares looked at me with a ridiculous face.

But I proudly stuck out my stomach.

I’m excited, you punk!

You must have been curious!

You’re a temporary partner of—

-184?!

Who is it?

Who coughed?

Ares stared at me and turned away.

“It’s okay if you don’t tell me anything. You’re saying there’s a way to find out something, right?”

“Yes. But I have to see them in person.”

I teased Ares seriously because I made fun of him a while ago.

“Baby eyes are eyes of truth. The unspoiled baby’s eyes are filled with the energy of the sky.”

“Oh, yeah.”

The reaction was boring, Tch.

“I can see everything bad, denied, and thoughtful in the eyes of a pure baby like Lulu!”

Ares laughed as he blinked.

“I didn’t know.”

“I saw it properly! Ares is not a bad person for me. Because you like me!”

I smiled broadly and looked at Ares, and he slightly pinched my plump cheeks.

Huh?

This reaction.

I think he improved.

“Then, which side am I on now?”

Ares tilted his face toward me.

Beans and forehead touched.

“Is it a good side or-?”

Ares’ eyes, looking very closely, were as beautiful as if I would be sucked in.

Drowsy white slightly droopy eyes.

Red lips that draw a smooth line.

“-Is it a bad side?”

Whispering voice.

My eyes went round and round.

Pooh, it wasn’t until I exhaled that I realized that I had stopped breathing.

“T, the bad side. The bad side.”

“Do I look bad?”

Ares looked at me faintly, drooping his eyebrows.

Who can say that he is bad by looking at him now?

But I’m a strong reader of Rofan.

Despite the pressure of beauty, I did not withdraw my opinion.

“B, bad for the heart,·····.”

Such beauty is really bad for the world.

If your beauty is too great, it have tremendous power in itself.

“My heart is pounding.”

“Oh no.”

Ares laughed.

“As expected, we’re siblings. That’s similar.”

“Huh?”

What do you mean?

But Ares didn’t answer my question and changed the subject.

“Anyway, you can tell right away that they took a bribe by looking at their face, right?”

“Yes, this time.”

“It’s good. To be honest, I can’t believe you’ll know they took a bribe just by looking at their face.”

Ares’ gaze was directed at me.

“We decided to cooperate.”

“Yes!”

I nodded.

And we gradually made plans for the New Year’s banquet.

“What else do you like about chocolate fountain?”

“K-Chicken.”

“K-Chicken?”

Well, there really wasn’t any plan.

On that day, I’ll enjoy my first big banquet.

This is the first New Year that I’ve returned to my family.

A new year when I know your age.

I’m so looking forward to it!

* * *

“Come on, it’s done, miss.”

“Would you like to walk if it’s comfortable? Bend or turn around.”

As I was walking and spinning around, a moan of “haaaa-“

Nancy really collapsed and Anna burst into tears.

Well, that was normal.

Laura started making me a doll, and Tilda quietly grabbed her chest as if pulling her heart out.

I nodded.

Luatisha Paeraton.

Just 5 years old today.

From what I can see, it’s cute and fluffy.
