Chapter 1660 Four Strongest Kingdoms

Sis-Con with Dimensional Chat Group

After the bandits were defeated, everyone became relaxed and they didn't need to worry about those bandits anymore, but it didn't mean that they were going to stay in this place for a long time since another group of bandits or their friends might become which caused the situation became troublesome so while all of them passed out, they quickly moved together with the young man that had helped them.

As everyone had guessed, the young man who had helped the group of people was Kasugano Haruka, the MC of this story.

Haru was sitting on the front part of the carriage, where the driver and the leader of the guards were sitting. He sat on the left side while talking with them and reminded them, telling them that they were quite stupid for shouting that there was a princess inside the carriage, but of course, he wouldn't be too rude when told them about this matter.

"You know, you shouldn't shout that there's a princess inside before," Haru said.

"I know..." The leader of the guard blushed in shame and nodded. "That was my fault, but thank you for helping us before."

"No problem." Haru then looked at the front and asked, "So where are we going?" Unlike the plot where the princess would invite the hero inside the carriage, it seemed that the princess had a fiance and because of that he wasn't invited nor the princess seemed to have an intention to talk with him since he also knew that she might be afraid to cause a misunderstanding, after all, she had a fiance and there was a lot of guards around them.

If the guards could shut their mouths then the princess might invite him inside, but the guards were sent by his fiance which meant, those guards were the fiance's people, and Haru was sure that they might blabber about how he entered the carriage with the princess later, but he didn't really mind since he didn't have an intention to get a girl in this world.

"We're going to the Earlshide Kingdom. Are you going to that kingdom too, Kasugano? If so, then you should follow us!" The leader of the guards learned the young man who had helped them was Kasugano Haruka. Even though this name was slightly strange, he didn't think too much since the world was so vast and there were a lot of people with strange names.

"What kind of kingdom is that?" Haru asked since he really didn't know anything.

"....."

When those words fell, everyone was looking at Haru with a strange expression.

Haru let out a sigh and understood why they were looking at him like this. "You should know my name is quite different from all of you, right?"

They nodded, hearing Haru's words.

"In truth, I came from a faraway country, and my ship sunk when I was on a journey for my business, leaving only some part of my clothes...." Haru quickly made up a sob story where he worked for his family, leaving them to work, but because of an accident, his ship sunk and he landed on this continent without, knowing of anything. He made his story as sad as possible and before long, everyone started to sob and cry.

Some of them even tried to hug him, trying to tell him that everything was alright.

The leader of the guards wiped the tears on his eyes then patted his chest. "Don't worry, I'll explain a lot of things about this continent to you."

"Thank you," Haru said with a smile.

Then the leader of the guards explained the condition of the continent to Haru.

In this continent, there were a lot of kingdoms and countries, there was a small one and a big one. There might be countless small kingdoms and countries, but there were only the four strongest ones.

"These kingdoms are Els Federation of Ys Holy Nation, Free Commerce, Bluesphere Empire, and lastly, our kingdom, Earlshide Kingdom," the leader of guards said.

"I see, can you tell me the details of those four countries?" Haru asked curiously. He knew that it was faster to use "Heaven's Door" on the leader of the guard to get all the information he needed, but well, he wasn't in hurry anyway and it was also quite novel to talk to someone like this.

"Sure."

The trip was quite long and there wasn't much information so talking or chatting was the greatest entertainment in the world.

The leader of the guard explained about the Ys Holy Nation first. He explained that the Ys Holy Nation was a religious nation that followed and believed in good deeds and the Creator God.

"Since you're a businessman, I don't think that this country is suitable for you," the leader of the guard said.

"What's wrong? Are there any doctrines or rules that forbid someone to make a business or a profit?" Haru asked.

The leader of the guards nodded and said, "Yes, in that nation, there is a doctrine for one must not take more than the necessary nutrition. The bare minimum of bread and soup. It also dictates that surplus food is to be shared with those who are in need."

"..."

Haru felt that this country wasn't bad since most people wouldn't lack food there, but he knew that this country wasn't suitable for him.

"Next is the Bluesphere Empire and it is also better for you to not go to this country," the leader of the guard said with a gloomy expression. He then explained that the Bluesphere Empire viewed a noble as a child of God, which meant, they could do anything to any other commoner, as long as you were a commoner, then without a doubt, your life would be miserable in that country.

Haru let out a sigh when he thought about the Bluesphere Empire since it reminded him of the Empire in the world of Akame Ga Kill. In the past, before he became the Emperor, the Empire was also hell for a commoner, but since he had become one, everything changed and everyone lived became better, but enough of that since he was curious about both Earlshide Kingdom and Els Federation of Free Commerce.

If someone asked which country was the best for the commoner then it would be either Earlshide Kingdom or Els Federation of Free Commerce.

In the Earlshide Kingdom, the aristocrats existed in order to protect the general public, and it was natural for them to think of every way possible for the people to prosper.

The leader of the guards explained the Earlshide Kingdom eloquently since he wanted to invite Haru as the guard or even an army of the Earlshide Kingdom since he had seen how powerful he was, but he also didn't want to lie to him, after all, he also knew Haru's status as a businessman and the best country for a businessman was in Els.

"Els is generally a mercantile nation and it is being led by councils...."

Haru listened to the leaders of the guards' explanation and knew where he should go, but also had a hunch where the protagonist of this world was.

As the protagonist of the cliche reincarnation story, the main protagonist would be living in one of the most prosperous places, and there was no way that the protagonist would be reincarnated in the Ys Holy Nation or the Bluesphere Empire.

Then there were only two countries where the protagonist might appear, which was Els and the Earlshide Kingdom, however, the identity of the protagonist should be a normal people, whether the protagonist was a student or a salaryman, he wasn't sure, but either way, there was no way for the protagonist to be sent to Els since the protagonist didn't have that much of knowledge about a business-related matter.

'So the protagonist should be in the Earlshide Kingdom.' Haru thought, but he felt his body was a bit giddy when he didn't have authority or money so he intended to go to the Els first since, in that place, he could build his own power since there was no difference between commoner and nobility.

'My goal has been decided.'

Haru then listened to the talk of the leader of the guards, but in his head, he had set up several plans for what he was about to do in this world on his head.
