We are now in Alrenstein, south of Koenigsvelg. Alrenstein is located north of Polsky’s royal capital, Waalzaw, and is an important base with major roads passing through it. We are here to confirm the results of the investigation.

Since Koenigsvelg’s reforms hadn’t progressed at all, I had other towns surveyed as well. Some reports have already been published.

It’s been a long time since Alrenstein was occupied by the Kingdom of Polsky, so the rule had already moved to the Polskis. Koenigsvelg was maintained as a free city, so the system was also a free city, but most of the inland cities that Polsky robbed long had been under Polsky’s feudal system.

Most of these cities and towns have dispatched our governors to carry out drastic changes to their systems.

So if you think about it normally, the kind of thing that happened in Koenigsvelg shouldn’t have happened here. In fact, no particular problems have been reported in the reports coming up.

Then, I came here for a surprise inspection. Certainly, the report states that the transition and reform of the system are progressing without any problems. But can the report be absolutely correct? There is no point in conducting an investigation if we are convinced that there was no such problem as in Koenigsvelg, simply because the report said so.

It’s true that Koenigsvelg’s case was self-reported, so it’s a different story than this time which was reported by a third party. But even these investigators may have been bribed and made false reports, and even if they didn’t go that far, they may have just investigated superficially and reported that there was no problem.

There is no end to suspicion, and if that is the case, you could say that investigations and reports can not be trusted at all. That’s why I trust them to some extent, but I can’t trust them completely and unconditionally.

Therefore, we decided to conduct some unannounced investigations. It’s not realistic for me to re-investigate everything. That’s why, for example, even if it’s just one out of ten cases, I’ll randomly investigate one of them. So I hope there is no mistake in the report. If the report and the results of my investigation are different… that’s why we’re here.

I’m in Alrenstein now, but I’ve actually seen a few towns along the way before coming here. I’m glad I made it this far by judging that there doesn’t seem to be much of a problem anywhere. The report also states that there is no problem here. Actually, there doesn’t seem to be a problem at the moment.

The area that was ruled by a former Polsky governor and was now replaced shouldn’t be much of a problem. This was expected prior to the survey, so no surprises. Rather, the problem is the former free cities so far.

I thought it would be difficult to suddenly shift to my control system, but the result is rather bad because I added some considerations. It seems better to eliminate the old ruling class at once and start over.

“Hey, Floto! Check this out!” Mikoto cried cheerfully.

“So cute!”

“Um… use ‘Flora’ right now, please…” I said.

Even though I’m walking while investigating Alrenstein, I can’t help but hear how carefree Mikoto is.

I used Wind magic to spread my voice in each town I occupied in the previous war, called myself Floto von Caan, and gave speeches here and there. Few people would have seen me in person. And I was wearing armor at the time. I don’t think anyone would associate me with Floto von Caan by looking at my current appearance.

But I don’t know where the information will leak if I’m called Floto in the city. Even if the names just happen to be similar or the same, there is a possibility that they will attract attention.

After all, not only did I give a speech, but even the residents know that this area is now ruled by the Caan Knights Nation and that the head of that state is Floto von Caan. If I was called Floto in such a place, there’s no way I wouldn’t be noticed.

That’s why I’m asking them to call me Flora now, but Mikoto doesn’t listen to me at all.

It would be a problem if I was found out as the Lord of this Territory, or rather, since I haven’t publicized my face yet, I’m thinking of hiding my identity and investigating the situation in various places, but I’m the Lord, Floto. Once it becomes known, it becomes difficult to investigate.

Then, in marrying Eleonore, it was just decided that Floto von Caan would be a man. It would be inconvenient for the matter if it became known that I, who had the appearance of a woman, was Floto von Caan.

I use different names and positions on a daily basis, but it doesn’t make sense if the people around me reveal it. This is where you need to be a little more careful.

“Come now, Flora, leave that girl alone, and let’s go over there with me.”

“No, um… Claudia?”

Claudia took my hand and tried to escort me with exaggerated movements. The surrounding women were screaming in passionate delight.

The current Claudia is dressed as a man. If you look at it normally, she will look fine. If it’s just her current appearance, it’s understandable that Claudia would have women screaming in her wake. It’s like playing the male role in an all-female opera troupe.

However, unfortunately, you could say then, the audience was screaming after knowing that it is a male role played by a woman. That’s why even if the actress changes into a woman’s form, they’re still screaming, but that’s not the case here.

Right now, the people around me are screaming because they think Claudia is a beautiful man, and if we come out that this is a woman who dresses as a man, they will immediately start to avoid her. It is clear from Claudia’s love life up until now.

“Come on! Flora! Hurry up!”

“Hold, Louisa…”

Claudia, who was trying to pull my hand, but Louisa snatched me and started walking away. Louisa is unusually aggressive today. If it was the usual Louisa, she would be a little hesitant because she was worried about her position, but today I am surprised by how forward she is.

“Ehehe! Because today I’m the same as you, Flora.”

“Uh……?”

Louisa with that smile is cute… And my arm is touching her chest. No, I’m guessing this was inevitable.

We’re currently undercover, so to disguise our identities, we’re wearing shabby clothes. Is it okay if I say that I don’t dress like a normal high-ranking aristocrat, but instead behave like an ordinary town girl, or like a daughter of a slightly lower-class aristocrat?

Louisa is a town girl as usual, and Katharina is a servant, but even so, the grade of what she wears is lowered. She feels like a servant of a poor nobleman or a merchant around here. Claudia is dressed as a knight and a man, and Mikoto and I are dressed as daughters of low-ranking nobles.

In this state, there is almost no difference between Louisa, who is dressed well for a town girl, and us, who are dressed as low-ranking nobles. Apparently, that makes Louisa happy.

Usually, just by looking at your appearance, you can clearly feel the difference in social status between us. Without that, today they are dressed like girls from the same town, so it’s not surprising that Louisa is so excited.

“Hold, everyone, give me a moment…”

And Alexandra, who is the most behind us… is almost the same as usual. In the first place, even if Alexandra, who seems to be the embodiment of “The Noble Young Lady”, tries to look shabby, it doesn’t suit her at all. With her gestures, it will soon be revealed that she is the daughter of a high-ranking aristocrat. That’s why I dared to keep Alexandra the same as usual.

Our relationship is that of Lady Alexandra, myself and Mikoto as the daughters of a lower-ranking aristocrat and her friends, her servant Katharina, her escort Claudio, and finally Louisa, who is not even a House Servant but just a worker of Alexandra’s. With this, it’s not unnatural to wander around the towns here and there.

Mikoto is a rough and unrefined girl already, so she looks like a normal girl just by wearing a shabby outfit…

“Hold, Flora? Are you thinking of something rude right now?”

“No? Not at all?”

As Mikoto rushes in with her bizarrely sharp intuition, I was completely dumbfounded but put up a calm face. Don’t get upset here. When you lie, stick through to the end. Don’t be half-heartedly upset.

“Mi… Flora, um, how do you like this?”

“Katharina……”

No, Katharina is too unnatural… she’s supposed to be Alexandra’s servant, but if she’s only paying attention to me, you’ll figure out something is up.

“Haa… fuu…” Alexandra huffed.

“Alexandra… isn’t your physical strength too low?” I asked.

I’m a little worried about Alexandra, who has finally caught up to us. Even though we’re walking around here, she’s too weak. She might be the daughter of a high-ranking aristocrat, but she should be building up her physical strength a bit…

It’s like she’s out of breath because we just walked a little too fast and she was left behind. At this rate, Alexandra would probably be left behind without us really moving. Well, in the first place, Alexandra is the highest ranked in the current position, but that doesn’t mean that Alexandra should be left behind…

By the way, you could say we shouldn’t leave the frail Alexandra in a place like this, where security isn’t as good as in the Caan Knighthood…but there’s no need to worry, as we have guards behind the scenes. Especially since we have Musashi as our bodyguard now. I don’t think there’s anyone out there who can beat Musashi.

In fact, it was exactly why we intended to make Alexandra, the daughter of a high-ranking aristocrat, so defenseless. If public order is bad, or if the town is under the influence of an underground organization, there will be people who try to kidnap Alexandra. If you’re watching this now, you’d probably think that Alexandra’s kidnapping would be quite outrageous.

This was also to expose such an opponent. In reality, Alexandra is not in danger because she is properly guarded, and she won’t be kidnapped even if she accidentally trips and hits the ground. We trust fully in the guards.

“I-I can’t do it anymore…” Alexandra whispered.

“Hold!”

Kutari, and Alexandra lean on me. It’s fine to catch her, but, munyuri, munyuri, Alexandra’s huge breasts touch my breasts and I feel them shift and change in shape against each other… this… somehow I feel like I’m not good enough to resist it.

“Alexandra! Please at least lean on my back.”

The style of embracing each other from the front is too bad. His face is close to mine. I think I might accidentally kiss her when she moves a little. It’s too pathetic if I accidentally kissed her for the first time. If I’m going to do it, I want it to be in a nicer atmosphere and in a finer place.

“Then, as a knight, I will carry the Young Miss on my back!” Claudio cried.

“No, um…, maybe, Claudio…”

“It’s okay! It’s okay! Now leave it to me!”

Claudio tried to carry Alexandra on his back. and…….

“Nuh…, guh…”

She can’t move while carrying Alexandra on her back. Claudia may be disguised as a man now, but her body is still that of a woman. Even if she was in the Guards Division as Claudio, Claudia has no physical strength. Her skill with the sword is undeniable, but her strength is overwhelmingly inferior to that of the male members. Of course, she still doesn’t have the strength or stamina to carry Alexandra on her back.

“Let’s you and me lend a shoulder so they can move, Katharina……”

“Right,” Katharina whispered as she nodded at my suggestion.

If I could have, I can easily carry her by myself, but right now I’m in the middle of disguising my identity. I also want to avoid standing out too much. To make it look natural, the two of us turned around and lent our shoulders, then took Alexandra to a place where she could rest for a while.

Even in the middle of it, that soft thing that hits me from the side disturbs my concentration, but I shouldn’t show it on my face. My expression is a poker face to the last. But all my nerves are focused on what’s touching me.

“Now, Alexandra. Let’s rest here for a while.”

“Haa… my chest hurts.”

“Hold, hold, hold! Don’t expose your skin in a place like this!”

I hurriedly stopped Alexandra who was trying to loosen her chest. I can’t show Alexandra’s precious breasts in such a public place. If I turn my eyes to look around us, there are men stretching their gazes and trying to look at her, so I glare back at them with all my might to threaten them. We would not be so careless or crass.

“Would you like to take a break and then look around the town leisurely?”

“I agree.”

Well, I’m not in a hurry, and if it’s just sightseeing, that’s right. Nothing will happen, so let’s go sightseeing in the town of Alrenstein for a while.
