"It's nothing... It's just accepting refugees and providing free food to beggars every day. It's still Clem who's in charge... I'm afraid that princess isn't using me to boost Clem's reputation. And if this kind of thing goes on for even a day, I'm afraid I'll end up taking all the blame."
Miss Fox could only offer this assessment of the policies implemented by Princess Lana on her behalf.
Accepting refugees and providing free food to beggars at regular intervals every day is a good thing. Anyone with a modicum of common sense wouldn't do such a thing. Only a naive and overly virtuous person would do something like this without seeing the consequences.
The proverb "A little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment" has been circulated in countless variations of this story since childhood. Upon seeing this policy, Miss Fox immediately imagined an unexpected event where the regularly provided food was not delivered, leading to a refugee and beggar riot, forcing the lord to provide compensation.
If Miss Fox were here then, things would be much easier. She's the lord, after all. If there's no food provided today, then there must be something wrong with the lord. Even if all the previous reputation was built up under her name, it would be instantly ruined by the backlash once that day is over. If an active peacemaker were to come and persuade the rioters while giving them some benefits, then all the reputation would go to the peacemaker.
If the peacemaker were a little smarter, and took the opportunity to play the victim and emphasize that food was running low, and then offered to let them exchange their labor for food, then the fox lady, as the lord, would be in a very difficult position, and if that peacemaker could manage things well, it wouldn't be difficult for her to rebel.
"So, who's in charge of implementing these policies?" Miss Fox asked, stroking her chin.
She couldn't understand why the Third Princess was doing this to her. Could it be that she had discovered that Miss Fox already knew about Demiurge's secret rendezvous with the Third Princess at night?
"...You actually understand the problems with these policies?"
Ibiruai didn't answer, but looked at Miss Fox in surprise: "I didn't expect that you, you vile elf, didn't grow all of your fat into those two lumps. You left a little bit behind."
Miss Fox straightened her chest.
(╬ ̄俣)!!
"...It was Clem. Lana asked Clem for help. The officers in the territory might be outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, so she asked Clem, whom she trusted the most, to carry it out."
“Clem.”
Miss Fox thought about it carefully...
"...That short-haired blond boy, Lana's knight. Although Lana has some issues, that boy certainly has pure eyes."
"Oh, I know him! He's that boy with no talent, right!"
Miss Fox immediately made a gesture, as if she had just realized what was going on.
This is no joke, Miss Fox really remembered!
The little puppy following the princess, there's another trope in the original novel that I vaguely remember: anyone with even a little bit of strength would inevitably say to Clem that he's a talentless boy, as if you haven't truly been to the kingdom if you don't say that to him that he has no talent!
I still remember it vividly!
"..."
Evilua suddenly felt a little reluctant to speak and wanted to take back her earlier assessment that this despicable elf had some brains. This shameful, despicable elf had all its brains inside those two lumps of fat!
"Alright, alright, since it's Clem, then the information advantage comes into play immediately."
In Miss Fox's view, the biggest advantage of time travelers is not knowing the plot or the future, but that they have been in a god-like position and can see and know more than the people in the original work. They can even see a lot of well-reasoned analyses and research on various websites.
Simply put, it means knowing the personality of the characters in the original work, knowing their relationships, who is familiar with whom, who were originally brothers/sisters but do not recognize each other, where there are unknown resources and inheritances, and who has a hidden identity, special physique, or talent!
These should be the biggest advantages of time travelers, not the ability to predict the plot and change it simply by participating!
Just like now, Miss Fox doesn't know much about the original Ainz Ooal Gown story. With Lana acting as Miss Fox's proxy in governing the territory, and instead of declaring it her policy, she's hiding behind the scenes, using Miss Fox's name while Clem takes the lead. Even if Miss Fox isn't particularly clever, she can immediately figure out Lana's purpose—to put Clem in power!
Clem's rise to power and marriage to Princess Lana are now perfectly legitimate!
"Hmm... I didn't want to talk to her originally."
"What information advantage? Where did you get your information advantage, you despicable rascal?"
"Hey?"
Miss Fox was taken aback when she realized that Evilue was staring straight at her through her mask, the scrutinizing look in her eyes was undisguised!
then--
Oops~ I let it slip~

Chapter 275 I'm Super Strong, Okay!
Since she had already let slip that Evilue had overheard her, there was no way around it. Having talked from morning until nearly noon, as the inn's bustling breakfast time transitioned into a quieter workday, Miss Fox reluctantly drew to a close.
"So, this is what I know. This world has developed in general. I haven't seen much of it, since the protagonist's actions really don't suit my taste."
After taking a sip of fruit milk, it's time for Miss Fox to watch how the characters in the original story react after being spoiled.
"I see."
Ibiruai's reaction was rather indifferent.
It wasn't feigned calmness, nor was it the calm before a storm before an overwhelming amount of information overwhelmed you; rather, it was a genuine acceptance of the unexpected developments, to the point that you didn't even feel like laughing.
This made Miss Fox feel like she had lost!
"Hey, flat-chested little girl, that's not a good reaction!"
Why does she like to spoil the plot for the characters in the original work? Of course, it's to see the characters' reactions after their values crumble, yet they have no choice but to believe it. What does Evilue's bland reaction satisfy her for?
No, absolutely not! No matter how I look at it, Miss Fox herself feels unsatisfied! Thumbs down!
"Ah, what is this feeling? My heart, which hasn't beat for hundreds of years, is beating again. This strange feeling... Ah! Will he hate me for saying this? Am I being rude? Ah!~"
Miss Fox clutched her heart, her face beaming, like a young girl in love, unable to suppress her restless heart, just like it was real!
"Even if you say that, no matter how realistic the performance is, I will find it hard to empathize with it."
Evilue calmly watched Miss Fox's performance... "Even if you say that in the original storyline I would fall in love with the Undead King disguised as an adventurer, in the events I've experienced, I've never even seen that adventurer. I've only heard of such a person. So even if you say I like that Undead a lot, I don't feel anything for him right now!"
"Really not?"
Miss Fox propped herself up and leaned over the table, bringing her face close to Evilue's, staring intently with wide eyes!
"No!!"
Ibiruai was not to be outdone, and tried to widen her eyes as much as possible!
The two were separated only by a mask, almost touching!
"...Okay, then I won't take it."
Finally, just as Evilue was about to give up, Miss Fox sat back down because she felt a bit tired of the position, which made Evilue secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, he held on.
How could she not care when the vixen talked about how she fell in love with the undead in the original storyline? Especially after hearing about the undead's planned acts of massacring cities and destroying nations, she was so angry that she almost wanted to strangle her original self from the past!
Evilale from the original timeline, you couldn't! At least you shouldn't have fallen in love with someone like that!!
The moment the vile elf saw her acting like a lovesick young girl, this emotion almost overwhelmed her reason! Luckily, she held back, otherwise, not only would it be useless, but she would also be ridiculed by this damned vile elf for a long time!
—Because Evilue thought she might actually do that despicable elf act.
"Hmph... So, what about the undead? Because of your intervention, the inevitable history has changed. The undead did not find an opportunity to take over the kingdom's underground forces. Does that mean they are still watching this world from the shadows?"
"The big tomb... they're all dead."
Miss Fox waved her hand dismissively and answered casually.
"Let's not talk about that. Do you know whose Weibo account this is?"
"What!? They're all dead!?"
Evilue slammed her hand on the table and stood up, so excited that she grabbed Miss Fox by the collar! The unemployed adventurers who were drinking in the inn early in the morning all fell silent, looking at Evilue with strange eyes. Only then did they realize that they had been too excited, and they quickly sat up and pretended that nothing had happened.
Seeing that there was no gossip, the adventurers gradually became noisy again. The whole process was like a sudden commotion during recess, where a few people suddenly threw their desks on the ground. After everyone saw it, they didn't pay attention and quickly returned to their own state, making the most of every minute to enjoy the ten-minute break.
"Ugh, why did I think of that!"
For a fleeting moment, Miss Fox even considered checking the time to see if class was about to start. It had been many years since she had experienced the ten-minute break between classes, having to wait in the classroom for the teacher to arrive at the seventh minute, yet she instinctively recalled this memory.
Perhaps this is an instinct etched into our DNA.
"Little girl, it's not a big deal. Why are you so excited? You believe it so quickly, and you've already started to worry. Usually, people don't want to believe it."
Ibiruai immediately glared at her.
"This is ridiculous, and your despicable mouth is sure to attract hatred, but you've hardly ever told a lie!"
"Is that right?"
"That's right, that's exactly it."
Ibiruai nodded, seemingly trusting Miss Fox; no matter how she looked at it, it didn't seem like a lie.
"Stop looking, I already said that's how it is!"
It's fake! This is a lie!
Evilue's rationality was reminding her that if she didn't believe this fact, then what awaited her was likely that the despicable elf opposite her would spit out her past dark history!
This is absolutely unacceptable! Those shameful memories must never be brought back to life!!
"Didn't you say that they were invincible overlords to the existence of this world, able to treat this world like their backyard? Could it be that you destroyed it?"
After a brief moment of thought, Ibiruai changed the subject with a sarcastic tone.
The vile elf opposite her was indeed very strong. She had witnessed the vile elf's combat power in the Eight Fingers Extermination Battle more than a week ago, but she still couldn't believe that this vile elf alone could destroy the Overlord who could use super-tier magic and possessed a large number of powerful items.
It's not that I look down on you, but to deceive the vile spirit, you must first deceive yourself!
Dice Girl! Let's go over some tricks!
"Hey, why can't it be me?"
After being told that by Evilue, Miss Fox was indignant! She fell for the provocation without hesitation!
There are so many people capable of destroying the Great Tomb, why couldn't it be her?
And even though she wasn't the one who actually destroyed the Great Tomb of Nazarick, wasn't Aizen's father summoned by her?
"I'm super strong, okay!"
Evilue glanced at Miss Fox and said, "The guy you fought during the Eight Fingers Extermination War must have been a member of the Great Tomb of Nazarick."
"Uh...that's true."
"You were being overwhelmed back then, and you only managed to turn the tide by relying on props, right?"
"emmmmm..."
So, you see...
