Onee-sama
Wow?! I was surprised.... "
"... were you doing something you couldn't tell anyone?
No, I was just thumping, but all of a sudden I was surprised to hear a tempo voice.
"It's getting more and more suspicious... Onee-sama, I can't imagine that you're in love with me... is that right?
…………
"... well, that's impossible. Onee-sama, I'm so dull...."
No, that's not the problem.
And after half the night, Watts reacted surprisingly when Tempo connected the communication. The reason for this is that there was no communication from Tempo for a while, and suddenly the communication came in. For Waltz, tempo is probably one of the reasons why she's surprised to be in a category she's not good at.
"So, what?
"I dared to scout the town of Ecleria."
"Don't dare... what's the result?
"Conquer hostile forces."
"... you're not going to say reconnaissance, are you? On the contrary, I wouldn't call it a scout, would I?
"This doesn't matter. What reconnaissance found out--"
(Still you won't give up scouting...)
"There's been a civil war in Eclaria."
"I think there are probably regional disparities. But it's not about life inequality. How about the human resources gap....."
"What? The more you go to the countryside, the more people... in this case, the rougher the treatment of the people you use?
"Yeah, maybe. Especially since I have been ravaging the mountains along the border with a large number of people in regional towns, it is presumed that the central people are making meat walls with lower mental loads by regularly replacing the local people, avoiding fighting me."
"... that's it. Cause--
"That's all for reporting. We've gone beyond reconnaissance in an attempt to save the city from an irrational attack. Dispose of?
Tempo offered to dispose of himself. Waltz's instructions were exhausted, even to scout the town. Beyond that, protecting the people of the city from the hostile forces is a complete violation of the military's orders.
But the relationship between Waltz and the tempo was not an absolute up-and-down relationship like the army, but rather a sister-like relationship -
Well, if that's what the tempo said, isn't it good? I'm thinking about the same neurosystem as I am, so if I were there, I would probably have made the same decision.... "
I didn't dispose of it like that. Waltz, who was listening to Tempo's report, read between the lines and decided that there might have been something unexpectedly moving about the tempo.
"... I don't like the same thoughts as onee-sama..."
That's not what you said. The truth is the truth..... "
"... thank you."
What?
"So, I need to talk to you about one thing."
Tempo starts talking about the consultation by deceiving himself about what he said just before.
"I'm thinking of attacking the King's City of Eclaria. Can you give me permission?
"Eh... hey..."
"For now, the only way to continue to protect people who have lost their lives is to stop worrying."
"Suddenly, it won't work... well, if it's tempo... no, it's hard..."
"Are you worried?
Though prototype, it is you who have mobile armor, the stone-era weapon group driven by Ecleria (?) Have you ever lost to the company? Waltz said to Tempo, who had such a doubt.
Perhaps if we fight against humans, we can fight without any problems? But I don't think Al, who's the queen or the demon king over there, should do something about it.
"Is he... is something wrong?
Yeah, a little in the past... To put it bluntly, you have the magic of Lucia?
"... that means that if you fight well, the world could be destroyed, right?
Unless you have enough power to reverse Lucian-class forces and destroy the world with your manoeuvring armor. Otherwise, you think it's gonna end up being unilaterally erased?
If people other than the Homnuckles she made heard what Waltz said, they would all think that Waltz had been cowardly blown away. However, tempo is the same Homunkurus as waltz and thought in the basic part, as mentioned earlier. Such a woman never kicked waltz's speech.
"... then what should I do?
Is there any way to protect the town you saved without being destroyed by the other side...? Tempo asked briefly believing that Waltz would reach the same concern as himself.
Waltz, on the other hand, could not read the air, but seemed to have understood the intent of the tempo speech---
"I can't help it if I put my hand out... now, let's do this"
—— propose one solution.
