1. "Therefore, as of today..."
2. "Rae Taylor will become an officer of the Secret Service and report directly to me."
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "W-with that, let's celebrate rae's release from prison!"
2. "Congratulations on your pardon!"
3. "While it is good that rae was released, this is hardly the time for celebrating."
4. "Cardinal lilly."
1. A FEW DAYS PRIOR, THE BAUER ROYAL PALACE
2. "Um..."
3. "I understand that I have been stripped of my status at the academy due to the incident with Lady Yu."
4. "But why have you chosen to appoint me as a member of the Secret Service, Your Majesty?"
5. RAE HAS BEEN STRIPPED OF HER STATUS AS A STUDENT AT THE ACADEMY.
1. "What is your opinion of our current political situation?"
2. "Rae Taylor."
3. That's only because I've memorized all of it from playing Revolution.
4. "Don't be so modest."
5. "I think it is far too complex for a mere commoner to comprehend."
6. "I'm aware you possess a deep understanding of this country's inner workings."
7. "I know of your grades at the academy."
8. "At this rate, the politics of our nation will lead us to stagnation."
9. "The aristocrats wield too much influence through the form of a hereditary oligopoly."
1. "However, the roots of the hierarchical construction of our nation run deep."
2. "Have you not implemented measures to encourage meritocracy, Your Majesty?"
3. "As king, I am unable to make moves as I please."
4. "Who can destroy this structure and breathe new life into the system."
5. "Hence why I require a commoner who isn't in collusion with the aristocrats..."
6. "Yes, talented people from commoner backgrounds are being promoted to positions of power."
7. "and expose the crimes committed by powerful nobles."
8. "As such, you will become my pawn in this matter..."
1. "I don't believe the entirety of the aristocracy is complicit."
2. This is just like how it was in-game!
3. "But two in particular I suspect of fraudulent dealings."
1. "not only you, but Lilly and Claire for treason in this business with Yu."
2. "In that case, I have no choice but to investigate..."
3. "What can a lowly commoner like me possibly do to challenge aristocrats with that much power and influence?!"
4. "I decline!"
5. "But a case could be made for a version of events where you three manipulated Yu."
6. "You say you three were only following Yu's orders."
7. "Is that so?"
8. I can't let myself be arrested now.
9. I also cannot leave Claire's side right now as the timing is just too...
10. Despite the main story changing, there haven't been any significant plot adjustments.
1. "I'll accept the position as a member of your Secret Service."
2. "I understand."
3. "However, in exchange for this..."
4. "I humbly request that Miss Claire and Cardinal Lilly be issued the same command."
1. "Let's do our best together, everyone!"
2. "W-would mean that we would all become members of the secret service, right?!"
3. "B-being issued the same command..."
4. And so...
5. "Augh. What a difficult situation..."
6. "There you have it."
7. "Wait!"
8. "Well, aren't you chipper despite everything."
9. "So, I won't fail in my duties to look after you, miss claire."
10. "Apparently, I am allowed to stay in my dorm room at the academy."
11. "Then, as an aristocrat, I simply cannot ignore the situation."
12. "If there are those out there conducting traitorous fraudulent dealings..."
13. "Hmph. Well, I certainly don't mind."
1. "I w-want to do this and that in the confusion of the moment, too, you hear me?!"
2. "I-I won't allow it!"
3. Investigating the secrets of influential people in our nation will come with substantial danger.
4. "Anyway, why is cardinal lilly involved in this?"
5. "What nonsense are you spewing?!"
6. "Are you just pretending to go along with this investigation in order to sneak off with rae?!"
7. "D-don't tell me, miss claire!"
8. "Cardinal lilly. Miss claire."
9. "Hey."
10. "As for the two nobles that are being suspected..."
1. They are the minister of finance, dole françois...
2. And the chancellor, salas lilium.
3. "...!!"
4. "C-calm down, miss claire! They are nothing more than suspicions at this time."
5. "What sort of nonsense are you babbling about?!"
6. "You must be joking!!"
1. "I-I also don't want to believe my father is doing something corrupt!"
2. "As if my father would ever engage in fraudulent dealings!"
3. "The fact that he would suspect my father makes me suspect the king's sanity!"
4. "Rae!"
5. "Take us to the person in charge of this investigation at once!"
6. "M-my father is a man who has dedicated his life to our nation!"
7. "We are going to give them a piece of our minds!"
1. "Well done, rae."
2. "Ah. There you are."
3. "Though I heard that my father had to strong-arm you into this."
1. "I never thought you and the cardinal would get involved, though!"
2. "That's right!"
3. "So, you are charged with leading the investigation, master rod."
4. "Sure. Here they are."
5. "May we look at the investigation documents?"
6. "Master rod."
7. Th-the room of a prince is beyond luxurious.
8. "You now have the freedom to have direct meetings with me whenever you want."
9. "There are massive calculation errors between the numbers on these tax yield reports and written records."
10. "Now I see it."
11. "This is quintessential tax evasion, for sure."
12. "They then pocket the difference and adjust their own tax filing documents to be correct."
1. "And that is why the two suspected of tax evasion..."
2. "Correct."
3. "Are dole and salas."
4. "The françois family has protected the kingdom's treasury with the utmost honor throughout the generations."
5. "With all due respect, master rod..."
1. "Be that as it may, putting my father under suspicion of tax fraud..."
2. "Is something I simply won't sit by in silence and allow to happen as his daughter."
3. "If His Majesty and you, Master Rod, are willing to go this far and state it as such..."
4. "Then you must have some sort of definitive evidence, correct?"
5. "I-I feel the same way!"
6. "Gulp..."
7. "Yes."
8. "As for evidence..."
9. "Th-the reason why we're here today..."
10. "Is b-because we wish to clear our fathers of any suspicions."
1. "I have none."
2. "Please stand still. You're weirding me out."
3. "Well, wait. The only thing I don't have is definitive evidence."
4. "Oops!"
5. "Y-you don't?! Not a damn shred?!"
6. "Which means that you only have circumstantial evidence. Did I get that right?"
7. "Those around them show deference, and would never question them."
8. "They don't flaunt their crimes, and they haven't left a paper trail."
9. "Salas and dole are both brilliant."
1. They're the ones only getting their hands dirty.
2. "Can't you just arrest those people?"
3. "You mentioned that these documents have raised concrete suspicions against specific individuals."
4. "Master rod!"
5. "We took in several, but more just cropped up in their place. It's like cutting off a lizard's tail."
6. "Th-this just came to me now..."
7. "P-pardon me, miss claire?"
8. "The investigation isn't only looking into the fraudulent dealings."
9. "B-but if my father truly is innocent..."
10. "Then, the investigation should reveal nothing, no matter how far it proceeds."
1. I shall prove my father's innocence...
2. "Master rod."
3. By conducting this very investigation!
4. "I see."
5. "You have a point."
6. "I-I think this might present a valuable opportunity."
7. "You three are free to move as you please."
8. "Heh. I certainly don't mind that."
9. "...!"
10. "We're going to investigate the aristocrats right away!"
11. "With that, it's time to be off!"
1. "Waaah!! This is delectable!"
2. "Wh-what is the name of this delectable treat?"
3. "That's crème brûlée, cardinal lilly."
4. "Excellent question. It's known as crè--"
5. "Why, I've never had a dessert like this before!"
6. "It's crunchy, gooey, and sweet."
1. "If you have nothing to hide, baron thompson, then please, cooperate with our investigation."
3. "Come again?"
4. "This isn't a friendly visit, I see. But as I don't know what you are talking about, I simply don't know how to help you..."
5. "Miss claire, cardinal lilly."
6. "It is an outstanding achievement for you to be appointed to the secret service. They don't usually hire ladies."
7. "Can you please show us documentation of your finances from the past ten years?"
1. "Surely, you can't expect me to show my family's finances to a mere servant!"
2. "However, despite this being a request from members of the secret service..."
3. "Rae is also a member of the secret service."
4. "Say whaaaa?!"
5. "I believe you understand what will happen..."
6. "Should you refuse to cooperate, yes?"
7. "W-we have been granted special observation and judgment administration authorities from his majesty himself."
8. "B-baron wedge."
1. "This has left us in quite a strained position."
2. "Our territory's harvest has been very poor the last few seasons."
3. "Indeed."
4. "I trust you're not finding anything out of the ordinary."
5. "Well?"
6. The thompson family has been in dire financial straits.
7. It would appear that for the past few years...
8. "But nobles use things like furniture and treats to evaluate each other. If an aristocrat lowers the quality of their lifestyle, they lose the respect of their peers."
9. "You may not understand this, since you live in the church..."
10. "Cardinal lilly."
11. "You also don't appear to be missing meals..."
12. "A-and yet, s-somehow you're able to afford luxurious furniture?"
1. "Wh-what are you talking about...?"
2. "Do you not see this crest?!"
3. "Stand down! Stand down!"
4. "You are in the presence of claire françois, daughter of the minister of finance!"
1. "Baron wedge thompson!"
2. "We have heard all about your financial status."
3. "You window-dressed..."
4. "Your accounts, right?"
5. "What...?"
1. "Heh heh heh..."
2. "At this rate, if his majesty's power declines, then eventually..."
3. "There is no way women can read ledgers."
4. "He must be losing his edge."
5. "But to think his majesty would send such little girls to do his bidding..."
6. I was struck with terror by the sudden visit of the secret service.
7. Worked in the financial auditing department of a general trading company in a past life.
9. "R-right away!"
10. "Please check these, too, cardinal lilly."
11. "Tee hee!"
12. "Everything will go my way!"
