Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

"The Kingdom of Tasmeria appears to be struggling by Baron Messy and General Gazelle. But apparently there are a lot of them..."

"Your grandfather did go in a small number with an emphasis on speed, didn't he? Though I hear the second team will be out later?

"You're right. Did you ask your wife?

"Yes."

"Are you to the left? Already, the second party has left. Considering the speed, I thought we'd be there in a day or two."

"That's good. No matter how strong your grandfather is, you can't ignore the advantages of numbers."

"... this is an inside story though. Apparently, the Twiles are not just soldiers, but the public."

"... the general public? But I don't think anyone who hasn't been trained can do anything on the battlefield?

"Yeah, you're right. In fact, although this side is at a disadvantage in numbers, because the battlefield seems to be one step at a time. However, their will seems very high… how long will this equilibrium last…"

"... the people's will is high?

I was wondering if they were forced to collect it... but then, it's strange that they're so wary.

"Yep. Last year, in the Twilight country, there seemed to be famine."

"... Speaking of which, you had such a story. I see, I see... I wonder if it's called the Shizuku Sushi Formation."

There is no food, and all of us die in a debilitating state with little sight ahead?

To take rich lands from loved ones but to gain...... to die participating in wars to leave hope.

Pull or hell, move on or hell.

Haven't you been forced to make such a choice?

"I know you think too much... but maybe it's a form where Divan makes the most of the accidental famine."

I don't feel that way.

If, in any case, what is left is the choice of death, then man is only slightly hopeful. Or something that tries to find significance.

"No way, that's..."

"It's just my imagination."

"But Master Iris. Such as deliberately declining your own exit and disparaging you to a more difficult situation…"

"... fulfill, do you think? Hey, Tanya. How far do you think people's reason will go in an impatient situation?

"Ha..."

To my abrupt question, Tanya clogs the words.

"The lean earth, the financial oppression caused by the debt of the war ahead. How far ahead is the result of opening the tunnel... Poverty, hunger, and the deterioration of security caused by them. With discontent and anxiety spreading, I wonder how much people can endure..."

Immediately next door is the Kingdom of Tasmeria, with its rich land that would not be rich if it were sweet fruit.

"Why is our country…" or "Why is it so unequal…" jealous, and it is not strange that further anxiety and dissatisfaction accumulate.

"Maybe the upper echelons of the country used war to divert those grievance-busting spearheads from themselves."

"... that is, the result of the people's desire for strife?

"The flow of the world is the same as the Great River. Trying to go in different directions, one drop at a time, cannot defy the great flow. And the same. Even if we had a mind to repel the war, we could not resist the great flow of public opinion, and at some point we turned in the same direction, 'that's all we have,' 'that's all we have,' and 'that's the only way', until then the idea might have been repainted"

In the world of previous life, isn't that proven?

In the whirlpool of dissatisfaction, people are enthusiastic about things that try to break the status quo.

In many places, in many times, did not such an event occur?

"Especially if there are those who have incited them to use it... Stirred, stirred, turbulent like a determined river, we just have to get to where we're going. Those who fomented it early may not be in control."

Did you move to change the spearhead that bumps dissatisfaction, or did you purely try to fulfill the snowflake of the previous battle?

It is not now known which of the instigators moved as their starting point.

Is that not only because I am the enemy, but also for them at the earliest opportunity?

Soon the means will be the end, just paranoid about winning.

Isn't it in a state that has blocked all other roads?

"... although I've missed the point. It must be difficult for your grandfather to do the same. If you're a professional soldier, I didn't know you were a citizen."

"Yeah. But the masters will soon split it. He said we had to fight."

"Right.... Tanya, thanks for the report. Please keep me posted as soon as something happens."

"I'm in awe"

I approach the window again after Tanya leaves.

Now instead of sitting down, he stared alternately at the view and his own palms as he stood.

... Here we go. The war.

How far will the mighty and vicious turbulence go in fulfillment?

And where will we go?

I alternate between the view outside and my own palm.

... Never be flushed.

Never, ever be swallowed.

Because when I break, when I step off the road, I'm not the only one who drowns.

I stood still on the spot for a while, staring again at my readiness.
