Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There Is A Problem

Chapter 325.2: Cleaning Up

Chapter 325.2. Cleaning Up

The Emperor may have passed away, but the Royal Family remains safe, and they must maintain an appearance of business as usual. The Royal Family’s prestige has likely taken another hit.

The immediate issues have been addressed. Now, there’s the matter of punishing the nobles who betrayed the empire, calculating the total damage, and preparing for the Emperor’s succession.

Skipping such an irreversible event is not an option.

“Soldiers have been gathered in anticipation of further attacks due to the fall of the Sky Castle. It seems they are avoiding appearing in front of the public.”

Yamiyo darkened her expression slightly as she explained the current situation.

“Hmm, that’s a move too.”

They chose to prioritize safety and stay hidden. Mii-chan didn’t care if he was called a cowardly fool with a poor first impression.

Plus, handing the representation over to Mii-chan. What was he thinking? There might be some advantages to it, like having Takano County as a support or something else.

Among the possibilities I could think of, one was somewhat worrying. But I could investigate it later.

“Since the Sky Castle fell conveniently before the coup, might Duke Kanna be working with Nidhogg?”

“Duke Kanna claimed Nidhogg is working with Takano County, but based on the current situation, it’s far more likely that he was involved with the other side.”

“Yeah, that makes sense. Either way, we have no evidence. If Takano County was involved, dropping the Sky Castle doesn’t make sense.”

“There is a counterargument that we couldn’t control Nidhogg’s actions.”

I contemplated upon hearing Ranko-san’s report. It seemed a bit of a stretch. Was this a plausible story?

I couldn’t make a judgment. However, the outcome would become clear.

“Well, Duke Kanna is deceased, so there should be no issues if we win.”

“Tamamo will also be there as the pillar of strength!”

“We’re all friends! It’s only natural to help Em-chan!”

“Mumble mumble... allies.”

“We’ll keep helping you in the future!”

Yamiyo and the others looked at Mii-chan, expressing their strong determination with their words.

Huh? I’m happy, but what does this mean?

I tilted my head curiously, her expression filled with puzzlement. Duke Kanna is gone, and all that’s left is to live in peace.

The new races left by Helheim and the meaning of all of this intrigue me, but it’s a matter of god conflict, not human conflict.

Well, I expect that Shin has left one final plan, but he probably won’t show up publicly.

“Mii-sama, all the property of the nobles who participated in the rebellion, including Duke Kanna, will be confiscated. You should receive substantial rewards for preventing this rebellion. Takano County is now a massive household that doesn’t allow anyone to surpass them, right?”

“So, Tamamo and everyone else are here to support Em-chan.”

Yamiyo grabbed Mi-chan’s hand and earnestly conveyed her thoughts. In the background, Tamamo showed her fang and gave a thumbs-up. Hoku-chan and the others nodded in agreement.

I see. I completely forgot about the rewards. If my wealth increases any further, it will lead to the expected outcome.

They think they can manipulate Mii-chan from the outside and correct destiny. This way, Takano County will become a dominant force surpassing the Emperor.

Haven’t I heard this scenario somewhere before? But it won’t go like that.

Mii-chan dislikes the word “destiny”.

I don’t want my role to be changed. After all, I’m just a mob!
