The sun begins to rise and the surroundings start to lighten at .......
Despite the early morning, there was a hectic atmosphere in front of the main mansion.
In the midst of this, the vigorous voice of Ellen, a Dwarf, echoes around the area.
'Connecting the load with a charcoal truck so that it can be pulled. 'Then get the charcoal lit quickly. And don't forget to check the reserve fuel for the ministry.
'Yes, ‼.'
The people who responded to her words pleasantly were all the people working together, mainly the fox people and the ape people.
Ellen and Alex, dwarves, in preparation for a charcoal truck ride to the border point where the meeting with Lenalute is to take place.
Everyone in Technical Development was moving around, including Tonage from the Foxmen tribe.
There are two 'charcoal trucks' leaving the Bardia territory for this meeting, both of which are capable of towing a load.
The cargo beds seem to be quite large compared to the carriages we have seen so far.
The road construction to the border point where the meeting with Renalute was to take place was completed earlier than expected, thanks to the active role of the Second Knights of Bardia.
Fuel supply stations, a problem in the use of charcoal vehicles, were also completed in a short time thanks to the help of the Christie Trading Company.
In the future, I think that the charcoal trucks will become a new means of transport, replacing horse-drawn carriages, in places where roads have been improved and refuelling points have been established.
The purpose of the meeting with Renalute was to demonstrate the 'potential of charcoal trucks' and to win an order for road maintenance from the border point to Renalute.
But most important will be the matter of 'lute grass', the raw material for the medicine that will cure your mother's illness.
My heart is pounding a little nervously at the thought that we are about to leave.
At that moment, Father, who was watching Ellen and the others work together nearby, shifted his gaze to me and muttered.
'You seem unusually nervous."
'Haha, yes. Unlike in the past, I'm going to meet with His Majesty Elias for the purpose of conducting 'diplomacy' ...... with him now, and I'm still nervous.
I reply to my father with a wry smile.
Last time, I had to go to Lenalute for the purpose of 'meeting with Fara' and looking for 'lute grass'.
But this time, I'm going to sell 'charcoal wheels' and 'pocket watches' to 'Elias Renalute', the king of Renalute.
There is a different kind of tension in me than last time, and I think that's why my heart is pounding.
Then my father heard what I said and gave me a look of disgust, saying
'If you are so nervous, you have a long way to go. I'm going to be there too. There's no need for you to be so tense. Besides, His Majesty Elias is already your father-in-law according to Imperial documents. Why not just call him 'Father' and get him off the hook?"
Call His Majesty Elias 'Father'.
The first time I heard the word 'father', I couldn't help but burst out, as the scene flashed in my mind.
'BUTT...... haha ‼ good. Father, I will use that.'
I replied with a laugh, smiling and nodding to my father.
'Mm. The other party's position or title will not bring good results. It is also important in negotiation to exploit the other party's weakness to the extent that it is not impolite. It's a good idea to be prepared for that."
"Yes, I understand."
Just as the conversation between my father and I came to a close, Ellen rushed to our side.
She bows in front of us and then echoes her voice energetically.
Master Rid. The charcoal truck is in good working condition. We've even finished coupling it up so that it can tow a load, so we're ready to go.'
'Thank you for the report, Ellen. Father, shall we go now?"
I answered Ellen, and my gaze shifted to my father, and I smiled at him.
'Hm. Then I'll do the driving.'
'Eh ......?'"
By the way, my father said he would drive me to the border point where the meeting was to take place, and he did not listen.
When asked why, he said, "The fact that 'I was also able to drive here' at the meeting would be a good talking point. ...... I think he probably just wanted to drive the long distance.
Afterwards, my father consented to drive, and I sat down in the passenger seat with him.
But what did he think? He looked at me with a dubious expression on his face.
'By the way, in the event of an accident, which is safer, the front or the back?'
'Huh? That's ...... probably the back.'
I answer his question, tilting my head involuntarily.
Then, after thinking for a moment, he nodded his head.
'Hmmm, I knew it. Then, Rid. You get in the back. In the passenger seat, I'll let you take ...... Alex to assist with the driving.'
'Yeah .......'
Afterwards, I protested to my father that I wanted to sit next to him, but he didn't accept it, so I had no choice but to sit in the back seat with Deanna and the others.
Thus, we set off for a meeting at the border point between Bardia and Renaloute.
As it was early in the morning, Mel was still sleeping in her room.
I think Mother is sleeping too, but maybe she is in her room to see us off.
Going with us from the Bardia territory to the meeting are Diana, Capella, Ellen, Alex and a number of other beastmen.
Also, Chris is scheduled to join us at a fuel stop on the way.
The meeting will be held between me and my father, but the supplementary explanations and practical demonstrations will be most persuasive if they are given by the beastmen children and Chris, who will be involved in the meeting.
(Well, let's get pumped up for the meeting!) I muttered to myself in my mind as I sat in the back seat.
