Continental Hero Senki

"'Fools don't catch a cold'...... and I've often said that"

November 1, 10: 30.

Fine abruptly said so to Sarah, who has had a cold and has been ordered to rest on a sick sleeping table for a long time, with an attitude as to whether she is willing to visit or not.

"... what are you trying to say?

Sarah asks Fine the sincerity of her words in the absence of a hegemony of the sick man's death.

The person questioned, it doesn't mean anything in particular, but he prefaces it and then answers politely peeling the apple.

"In this case, I no longer know if I should be pleased that 'the fool did not catch a cold' was merely a rhetoric, or surprised that 'Major Marinovska was not a fool'"

"... Whatever the second half, what does the first half mean"

"Are you sure about the second half?

"This isn't the first time I've had a cold... and I'm not stupid..."

Sarah grinned and Fine smiled slightly and had a conversation.

Feene cuts the apple admirably, thinking that it was the first time she had such a conversational conversation with Major Marinovska.

"I've never had a cold before. So I was worried he might be a fool."

A fool does not catch a cold.

Therefore, it is somewhat impossible to think that it is fools who do not catch a cold.

Naturally you can't figure that out Fine, so Sarah said she felt this was not what a far-fetched joke it was.

"I have good health care, so it's not okay."

"Oh, can you also interpret that"

I see, she nods.

It was hard to grasp where the joke was and where it was genuine from.

"Well, you got it, Major. Shall I eat the fruit of wisdom and cure it?"

………………

"It doesn't mean anything in particular, does it?

Really, how far is it a joke?

I couldn't find a way to make sure of that in Sarah, who suffers from a cold.

After eating the apple given to me by Fine, Sarah, who lay down for a while, looks at the window.

When it comes to the sights they see at the makeshift Ostmarc naval outpost on Imroz Island, every day is just the sea.

And since the departure of the other group of military advisers who are not here, it has been even more unforgiving.

"... Yuzef, are you hurt?"

"I'm talking about Major Yuzef, so I broke his bone."

I can tell you.

And for some reason, we were both not worried about life or death. Because the perception that "it will not be dangerous, but it will come back safely," was in their hearts.

If Emilia or Maya were here, the perception would give serious reasons "because he knows what to retreat from, what to attack".

You don't hesitate to go to battlefield.

"Right. Proceeding from myself to the Iron Fire... as a samurai, it's obvious."

"If you make him a samurai, the kids around here will be samurai too."

"Exactly"

When it comes to a common topic, it's only about Yuzef. That said, there's no question that it was a series of sighs if he was on this occasion himself. But their conversation continued to be unthinkable in the place where he was.

What they speak of is Yuzef's ill speech without any other love.

"Why do you like Yuzef, Fine?

"... what?

"'Cause Yuzef's not manly, he's naughty, he's feminine..."

And Sarah, who speaks ill of Yuzef for about a minute. I heard that, Fine,

"... when you hear that, you wonder why Major Marinovska likes him"

and utter a very legitimate question.

"Nothing, because I didn't like Yuzef because he wasn't manly"

"So for what reason?

"............... I don't know what to say"

That's what Sarah says.

Talk about my first meeting with Yuzef. What happened, what did you think?

"So that's it. Well, that's it... that? Why do you think I like him?

"If you don't know the major, I don't either. Or don't you like it?

"No, uh, I'm sure you like it... I don't know, I mean I can trust you, or you can keep your back... you know me well... Why do I have to tell Fine this!

Starting to think seriously, embarrassed and blushing, she dives into the futon. It is clear from anyone's eyes that the redness of its face is not due to a cold.

"So, why do you like Fine? Answer me if I said so!

I think about how I'm going to delude myself against Sarah, who hurries to tell me a story. Fine.

But at the same time, it is also her fashion to give one piece of information to another.

A little worried, Fine decided to follow his own way.

"There's no deep reason. Major Yusef understands me. He told me he liked me. And I like him. I can love you from the bottom of my heart. That's all, isn't it?

Yes, she said flat out drinking tea.

"I don't know, I'm listening. I'm getting embarrassed."

"You don't have to be shy. Because we like him for the same reason."

"... right"

Sarah agreed. Regrettably, I also feel like you said what you wanted to say.

And Sarah thought.

If you realize it, there's no more hostility or enmity towards Fine. There is also a diminishing sense of confrontation.

Even strange friendships are being felt.

Oh, my God, you know what, she made me laugh.

"? What's up?

"Nothing. Just..."

"Just?"

Sarah, questioned by Fine, gets up, looks into Fine's eyes and answers.

"We thought we could be good friends..."

"... Yes?

I couldn't say what suddenly.

"'Cause if you say so, don't you mean we're' hobbyist humans'?

"Well, depending on how you perceive it,"

"That's why we're good friends!

Feene wondered if it was her fault that she didn't feel like a three-stage argument.

I don't know if that's what friends are supposed to be.

But I do have something that Feene feels, too.

I feel it all the time, there's no such thing as disgust for Sarah. So much so that if they tell me I'm a hobbyist friend, I do feel like I might be.

"... maybe, maybe"

And for the first time, Fine lost to Sarah by mouth.

He admitted that he and she had a strange friendship.

"Shall we be friends, Major Marinovska"

"Yeah. So you can say" Sarah "about me!

"Yes. Uh, Major Sarah, may I?

"Yeah!"

Thus, these two reconciled.

It would be more appropriate to say that we met rather than reconcile.

Because these two knew each other for the first time this day.

That's how they deepen their friendship by speaking ill of Yuzef, but they hit a certain problem with nature.

It is, after all, a matter of two people liking a common person and that person liking two things at the same time.

But Fine told me that it was unexpectedly an officer by the name of Matheus who had a solution about it.

"Solution? Is there?"

"I do. No precedent."

That's what I say, Fine interprets Matheus' words and speaks for himself.

"There is a reason for an event, a matter, a decision. Why do you think bigamy is a sin?

"Isn't it because you're angry?

"... you're right, but the answer is easier"

"What?"

"Because that's what the law says."

…………

It was a word that made me want to inquire whether it was even an issue, but Fine was even serious.

"And why the law says so, it's a religious matter," he said.

"What religion, Peruvian?

"You're right."

The supreme god, Peru, says that human society must be monogamous.

Because that's what we need to maintain society.

The decision of the Supreme God is written in the sacrament through the intervention of the Prophet. Over time, human society created a rule-of-law state called the "Continental Empire," and laws were created based on original customs and religions.

"And the crime of bigamy was handed over to countries that took over the laws of the Continental Empire."

"... so where is the solution to that story?"

Sarah, who has been told a long story, asks Fine to hurry.

"The fact that the crime of bigamy is a 'problem of religion' finds a solution. - Ma by the way... Major Sarah. Aside from bigamy, there are marriages that are restricted by law. Do you know what it is?

"What, suddenly? What does that have to do with anything?

"I do.... Well, I'll tell you the answer because it's going to take some time"

I thought it might be wrong to ask Sarah if she caught a cold and didn't seem to be working her thoughts on Locke, Fine revealed the answer early.

"I'm an inbred. This is similarly forbidden by religious issues"

Inbred and bigamous.

These two, and marriage to young people, are marriages that are forbidden in Peruvianism.

That comes from the reason that "if you admit it, it has a negative impact on society".

When the time comes, it's accompanied by the biological reason that "interbreeding with the genes of close relatives has a negative effect on the child," "breaking down a well-rounded family or couple. It's not ethically good" for humanitarian reasons, but it still doesn't exist in this day and age.

But there are also marriage issues that are unique to this era. In particular, inbred marriages were notable.

"In sparsely populated villages and royal marquis aristocracy, 'inbred marriage' is a daily tea meal."

"What, really?

"That's right. Cousin, sister, nephew, niece."

That is what we know because she is the daughter of the Count's family and lives the aristocratic society.

The royal matrimony has repeatedly been inbred to maintain its noble lineage.

And in rural villages, there is a limited number of men and women who have reached marriageable age with small populations. For this reason, it is also common for relatives to marry each other.

"But it's forbidden to be an inmate, right?

"Yes."

"Then how can you do it?

To Sarah's question, Fine answers as she pours a second cup of tea into the tea cup.

"It's easy. It's forbidden by law because that's what the Supreme God said. Then ask the Supreme God for special permission."

"God allow me to do that. - Ah."

"Have you noticed, that's what I'm talking about"

That is, the permission of the Church.

If it is a rural village, to a church in that village.

If you are a nobleman, go to the central church of that country.

And if you are royal, to the main mountain of Peruvian religion.

"The Peruvian pope is also the monarch of the Holy Tyrrhenian pope, isn't he? It is interesting that a monarch of a country holds any authority to grant kinship marriages to royal kinsmen."

That said, she drinks her second cup of tea.

By its side, Sarah was thinking. Sarah is not even a fool enough to be told so many answers and come to no conclusion.

Inbred marriage is forbidden religiously.

But it is possible with the permission of the Church.

And bigamy and early marriages are also practices that are forbidden by religion, as are inbred marriages.

If so, it may be "marriageable with the permission of the Church" with the same reasoning.

Sarah is a Knight of Silesia (Cavalier).

Fine is the Countess of Ostmarc.

And Yuzef is the knight of Silesia (Cavalier) and Sir of Carlsbert.

"So you're saying we need permission from Silesia and the central churches of Ostmarc and Carlsbert?

"That's what happens. Perhaps even" St. Uranus Cathedral "in Tohokuyama."

Either way, it's going to be a lot harder. Yes, Fine shrugged.

"If this is the case, I'd rather take Yuzef from Fine."

"Pfft. I think so, too. Major Sarah."

And here again, the two of us were in agreement.

A few minutes after that long story, the door to Sarah's infirmary was knocked.

"Excuse me. I have a report for Lieutenant Linz. May I come in?

"I don't mind."

The male officer who came into the room opened the door, but reluctantly moved off the spot in a space with two women.

After submitting the report to Fine, leave with a brief greeting.

Sarah looks at the situation and checks with Fine.

"... good news?

"Yeah, that's right"

The report received is read out by Fine.

That was a report written about Yuzef "living without major injury," and winning a naval battle.

"Damn, I'm a little sorry I missed you."

Sarah's face, saying so, was laughing.

"Absolutely."

And that, Fine, was the same.
