After winning and leaving the battlefield early, I was bothered by the prisoner I managed to capture.
"It's over... it's over... it's over... tortured and killed... it sucks... I can't do it anymore... I hate torture..."
She sighs with a murmur.
"No way, one of the princes.That's the second one.I'm not collecting princes. "
"Collect the prince...."
"Why are you laughing?
For some reason, I turned my head to Til, who could bear the laughter.
She sees a young man with bright green hair who is half-crying with a razor blade pressed against his neck.
He looks like an idle man with thin lines, but his complexion is pale blue and he doesn't sweat cold.I look like a junior high school student who was bullied because of tearful eyes.
And from the side, the bully is me.
"... uh, Prince Freitlina Yelinetta, I'm glad.In the meantime, you're not planning on killing or torturing me yet, are you?
"For now!? I knew it... when I joined the main squad, I cut my neck on the spot..."
"No, no, no... it's negative.I won't join the main squad.I'm going back to the realm. "
"Jo, in territory...?I'm going to torture you carefully..... "
"I don't think so."
To Freitrina, who said that while trembling, I replied in a daze. [M]I don't seem to believe it at all.
In fact, I've already heard what I want to hear, and I've been given a clear answer to all of that.
It's complicated, but I don't need any confession medicine to help.
"Honestly, you've given me enough information.You think you can let me go if you just make sure it's not a lie?
Saying so, Freitrina raised her face with her mouth crossed.
"Oh, really?You're not gonna kill me or torture me?
"No, I won't."
She replied lightly and smiled bitterly.
From fear, Freitrina is too desperate for me as a child.Well, I'm sure you're scared, but I'd like you to show me some royal majesty.
Well, I might cry when I'm in the same position.
"Yet the kingdom of Yelinetta has come to an end.Even though we made an alliance, I don't think we're going to be able to get most of our troops here... but I think it's a tougher location than ours. "
Somehow he muttered. Then the light is lost from Freitrina's eyes.
"... I just think you're crazy.There's no alliance.It's only natural that everyone's interests are paramount.Even black balls are just imported if they're monopolized... if I were you... "
Freitrina speaks to herself with bumps.It was a terrible person to look at from a distance or near, but I couldn't discard what I said.
"Wait a minute, the alliance was with Hessel, who ruled the east side of the continent, right?I've always been, but black balls also come from the Central Continent?
Confirming this, Freitrina exhales with a dark expression.
"... Siege weapons, new magic and new forms of castle construction are all in the Central Continent.It's not strange that black balls come from the central continent.At least Hessel and my Yelinetta don't have the knowledge or the skills to create anything like that. "
Freitrina strayed from her gaze as she groaned.I twist my head when I look at it. [M]
Indeed, basically, new technologies and knowledge often come from the central continent.To be clear, everything is going better in the educational environment than in the central continent.
This time, however, it is different from previous innovations in new weapons and fine technology.The operation of gunpowder as a weapon is clearly bad.
If black balls have come around here in a practical way, perhaps there are countries where guns and so on have also become practical.
I was worried that the development was slow because of the magic, but if a unit with guns capable of accurate shooting at more than mid-range was born, it would be a threat.
"In the meantime, if you know about black balls, importers, intermediaries, and merchants, please.Ah, and then the black ball material, the manufacturing method.I've heard the procedure for Yelinetta's invasion, so I'd like to hear a little more about each force and the Recruits weapons.And more..... "
As she folded her fingers and arranged the questions, Freitrina trembled with a rattling sound.
"Me, me, no matter how many claws I have...!Uhhhhhh!Tortured! They'll kill me...!?
I look half-eyed at Freitrina, screaming as she cried.
"... I won't torture you.But if I scream any more, I'll put rust on my mouth and nose.It's a cute kid's prank, if that's all. "
When she murmured with a slightly harsh smile, Freitrina, who should not have known Wasabi, licked her mouth with her pale face.
