Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... that suggestion might certainly be fascinating. Thinking about the reconstruction and future development of the town, this country should shift to an industry that can live without the labyrinth, not an industry that depends on the labyrinth."

Well then...

"But will the people accept their proposal? Will they agree to let go of a land that has lived on the same land for generations to come and where their descendants will live? It is not so easy for us to wave power and forcibly seize land from innocent people and force them to migrate. And this time, you're moving a lot of people at once? I don't think there's a riot because I buy a lot of disgust."

Waltz and Eve came to the Null and Sirius sisters, and they (not Yuki) were just having a meeting. The content of the meeting will be about the future of the town and the country. Exactly what Eve and the others were trying to bring up on the agenda. However, Null's opinions seemed solid considering the people currently living there, and Eve's suggestions quickly took the form of nails.

Nevertheless, Null's head is not hard, nor is he a conservative who wants to maintain the status quo. They have been able to sustain the Borealis Empire for centuries because they have not hesitated to choose reforms that could be said to be effective.

Then why did she complain? Of course, it wasn't because Eve's suggestions were ineffective. Null was concerned about the timing of the reform. Literally not long after the war, we were cautious about rebuilding the town.

This is a delicate time to regain our country. Therefore, it was feared that if rapid reforms were pursued, they would develop into a situation that they could not handle. Null's remark that a riot may occur is precisely what worries her about this contingency.

Riots at the current time were the worst thing that must be avoided in running the country. If a riot breaks out and the country is torn apart, it will be fatal for Borealis today, whose health is shredded. However, it is obvious that we do not want to restore even the messy industries, and that if we fail to pay the rewards to the luxuries and soldiers who participated in the war, it will develop into a situation that will not be noticeable.... As a result, even if the country was destroyed, there was no wonder, and it was obvious that future generations pointed out that it would fail. Perhaps Nur himself has seen such countries in his long life.

However, if we think only of the timing of overhauling the town of Vixen by putting the country's health and national feelings on the shelf, there was no better timing than now. With the city of Vixen regaining its usual vitality and productivity, it was clear that carrying out a major renovation would require more money than just destroying the industry and renovating a dilapidated town.

Therefore, if you want to do it now. But it's a double-edged sword. Null's troubles were deeper and greater than Eve and Waltz thought.

Well, I can't say I'm just thinking too much.

"I mean, maybe you shouldn't buy objections, right?

"That's right... If everyone is convinced to hand over the land or give up and move in, there's no problem."

"Really? Master Waltz."

"No, wait, Eve. I think you know that, but we also have a big problem in terms of funding. I am thinking of paying the maximum reward from Japan for their work this time... but shamefully, the wallet contents are empty. Nevertheless, rebuilding the town--"

"It might be okay to ask Eve to provide Mid Eden with financial assistance to Borealis without charge or interest," within Eve's reward. "When Borealis returns to his original state... yeah, he returns it without interest when he becomes a bigger country than he was."

"Nnh...."

"If Null is right and Borealis says it is difficult to pay this reward, then Eve may be asking Borealis for one thing instead of the reward.... maybe the reward that Eve demands from Borealis is that he wants us to be a good country so that he can get what he wants."

"... I see. I understand why Eins wanted to adopt him."

What?

"But it is. From our country, we must reward them in a way that everyone knows. It may still be difficult for them, but that's bullying. So if it doesn't have some form..."

When Null said so, Eve smiled nicely. Seeing the smile, Eve stopped talking unintentionally and asked Null with a suspicious expression.

"Well, as for Nur, if you can give Eve a reward from the land of Borealis so that everyone doesn't complain about rebuilding the town, and you don't have to worry about money, can you give permission to rebuild the town?

"No, sure, if you can do that--"

"Really? Master Waltz."

That said, Eve looked up at Waltz next door. Waltz was always laughing at me.... When I explained it the same way as Eve, it seemed unknown whether I could convince Null.
