Umi to Kaze no Oukoku v1c9

It’s hard being a merchant.
“Karin-aniue suddenly have 5 wife”

Karin now already 15 year old which mean he will leave the imperial villa so he can be independent and like the time with Salim, Grand celebration was held.
Shou who is the youngest brother, shock by the number of wife.

“Well, since Salim-aniue backing is quite weak, It’s normal for the favorite Karin have many people backing him”

Because Nash’s cousin is also the fiancee of Karin, He also try to pull Shou to Karin’s fraction.

….5 many people as the wife,isn’t that a bother…

Shou who have no interest with being a successor, thinking how one handle 5 wife when they have sex.

“Hey, if you have 5 wife is the wedding held 5 times?

rather than like newly married it’s more of a pain..Ou!!”

Karin who supposed to be the star of this party can’t help but to hear what Shou just said and give him a light chop.

“You’re stupid as ever, i will teach you later.
i have to take care the parent of 5 wife right now”

…Well of course, they want to talk what number your daughter is or who is the first or second….

after reflecting what he said, Shou absorb  himself eating the party food.

“Don’t eat too much.
you look like never eat a feast before”

Hassan who is the oldest now find how Shou eating and warn him to be careful.

“Actually, i’m not used to eat such a feast”

Shou said that in a low voice and think the prince duty too not an easy job while take a chopstick.

…..The feast on the United Kingdom of Southeast Island, the only fault is it’s very long…..

To the dish carried one after another,even thought Shou only eat it little by little using chopstick, as expected he is quite full

“Is it not over yet”

Beside me Rajikk-aniue said that in low voice and lying on the cushion.

…..He sure can move freely even thought this is another person party…

Even if he is one of the lowest rank prince, it’s bad for rolling around looking tired, Like Rajikk, Shou too feel bored since there isn’t anything he can do to pass the time.
Since he is so bored, Shou decide to observe the people around him.

….ah, as expected many people gather around father .
He seem look in a bad mood, even thought he is my parent, i don’t want to involve with him.

I like Salim-aniue since he is nice and gentle, but your presence sure is thin.
You should get a bit of father arrogance.

but the arrogance is inherited to much to Karin-aniue…

“There, is there somebody who sleep in the middle of a party?”

Shou notice that he was chop in the by Aslan in the middle of his sleep.

“Oh, you were asleep?…Sorry”

Awake by such a violent way, Aslan order Shou to follow him around.
Aslan is tired with the people that gather around him, people start to notice Shou that the lowest seat prince is having such drowsy face.

“”The youngest child seems to have slept.
There still years for party like this for him”

considerate with a child, Aslan use this to get away from the party.
On the garden, Aslan fly away and escape the party.

….is father running away?…

“King Aslan dislikes boring banquets”

Shou surprised by suddenly approach by Rashindo on the garden.

“Rashindo-sama seem to be invited too”

“yes of course, i want to marry one of my daughter to Karin after all”

Shou surprised by the news

“Are you going to take your daughter so she can marry Karin-aniue?”

Nash cousin Sally today too presence in the party, it heard that it was promised to get married sometime soon.

….How many people?, can Karin-aniue support that many of wife?..

Seeing Shou blinking with surprise , Rashindo think he spoke something he should not too.

“Forgive my rudeness.
But, Prince Shou, it’s better to not show what your thinking with your face.

How many people he will marry, i’m sure he had already in mind”

Giggled as if knowing that what he said is a bull’s-eye.

“i don’t really think i can support that many.

Normal people never think to marry at 15 year old.

I hear that you have to saved up your money to married, did Rashindo sama who have many money marriage at the age of 15 too?”

Rashindo smiles wryly at the words of the prince who does not know much of the world.

“I got a small ship from my parent and saved up money until i’m 18 and marry.

Normal man usually want to marry at the age of 25.
Is prince Shou hate woman?”

“No, i’m not, it’s just i’m worry whether i can support the girl.
Such a young child to already think about marry, and the girl too, they must be a person who already accustomed living rich right?.

I don’t have the confident to for that kind of life.”

Rashindo Laugh after hearing not-your-usual Shou remark.

“That opinion is not the opinion of king Aslan’s son.
But, you are, and you can’t reject when you are given a fiancee.

To be able to support your wife, you have to work hard and earn money”

Shou take long sigh.

“There is no way i can become soldier and join pirate subjugation, it seem there is no other way than aiming to become a merchant.

I just want to live leisurely at the mother’s hometown, Mario Island. but it seem it’s going to be hard””

Rashindo think it’s strange that Shou want to go to Mario island.

“From Reitei it need 3-4 days to go there.
Why did you want to go there?”

“Eh~ it take that long even using ship?
Sanzu can fly to there.

Since it was the first time we fly on the sea, it Need 5 hour to go there since we fall so many time on an island”

Rashindo know that Shou have the power to become a dragon knight but he was surprised he hear that Shou flew to the Mario island even though he just a kid

“How do you know here Mario island is?”

“It thanks to Karin-aniue, he teach me how to read sea chart and i’m confident in my position measurement.
and finally i go to the island.

And Sanzu is better than me at sense of direction so he already remember the position of island so it will be easy next time.

If mother want to visit her hometown, i will company her.
It’s possible to make it a day trip.

but, as i expected i want to spend about one month an such calm island”

Rashindo know that King Aslan like to come and go at the unexpected moment since he is a dragon knight.
To be able to use a dragon to take a week worth of trip into one day trip is amazing, and for a 8 year old kid to be able to read and use the sea chart like a master.

at the same tome, for Shou who shown his desire to life a carefree life on the island doesn’t fit for a merchant.

“That’s it! you can use your speed to take an advantage and start a business”

Rashindo think at least he has a focus mind.

“But, A bird is enough for sending a latter”

Rashindo think that the way Shou thin is uninstersting and take an interest on his unusual business plan.

“There is no fresh fish since the our surrounding is sea.
Let’s think about it a little.

And we eat domestic food in the royal palace, but it will be hard once we have to become Independence.

It eat a cow one time.
We can survive by eating fish, shall we try this?”

“The dragon knight should be able to get the domestic animal in the royal palace.

Dragon knight is welcome by the soldier but you can feed a dragon with salary.
Dragon is the national heritage so it should be safe”

“Eh~ yeah! i’m fine being starved but i don’t want to Sanzu starved.

now i can reject the wife’s and able to open a carefree dragon home delivery service~”

“Dragon delivery service?”

Rashindo take interest at the word he never heard of.

“i come up with it just now.
It’s a delivery service using dragon so any emergency baggage can be deliver for a day.

For example if you want to eat your wife cooking badly, we can take your latter and take it to her even if she live on a solitary island,

well, this is quite ill example but if you have a sickness and want to send a latter to your parent’s but using a ship will be too late”

“It may be sound convincing, but i’m not sure you can gain big profit with that”

Being laughed by Rashindo, Shou take a sigh when he think that being a merchant is not all easy.
Rashindo take an interest with Shou and want to talk with him again another time.

“Please come and see Marsh and Marilyn”

And Shou answer quickly when he is offered to go to Rashindo mansion.

In the imperial villa which is soon become Hassan-aniue world, any relative of Rashindo become taboo.
