Fushi no Kami: Rebuilding Civilization Starts With a Village
Flame of Doom 18
Then, about a month later, Alicia, dressed as Her Royal Highness, came to the house of the Border Master.
The facade takes the form of a very private dinner at the Sakura Border House, a representative of the Alician sect, with Her Royal Highness showing her love and devotion.
I didn't do that to the Marquis d 'Atara, the other representative of the Border Country, so you know which one the Princess likes, right?
That's how it is.
Not at all private.
"That said, dining in this mansion really gives me a break. Meals at the royal palace are a complete business. By comparison, Saccura's visit to the Mansion is truly relaxing."
Lady Alicia relieves her expression by eating a lot of demi-glace soup hamburger.
"Oooh! It's a luxury to be able to eat Ash's cooking hot."
Meals at the royal palace can be eaten by the poison stars first, and after observing the progress of the problem, they can finally eat. They say any hot dish comes out cold.
In the present situation, where the Marquis is believed to have assassinated the royal family, Miss Alicia is blurring while replacing Hamburg, especially if the area is strict and the reason is clear but not delicious.
"Alicia looks terrible. If I were in that position, I might not be able to stand for three days."
Micah sits next to Her Royal Highness in a blurry manner, replacing Hamburg with an imaginary royal life.
After all, it is the grandson of the Bordering Uncle family who is drawing royal blood, so it is no wonder that Micah also lives every day in the royal palace, but it seems that the person is not aware of it.
"In fact, I've been back in the royal palace for about three days. I had to give up there, so now I'm used to it... but at least I should have stood in the kitchen myself."
Her Royal Highness standing in the kitchen seems to be gaining popularity, but was it a royal NG?
At least, it's definitely very popular in Sakura Border Territories.
Occasionally, Micah stood in the kitchen of the Lords Hall under the direction of the Yak chef, but she was impressed by "only the grandson of the runner-up".
From time to time, Micah stands in the kitchen because I don't want to drop my cooking skills when I make a request for dinner, which is why I am so happy.
"I miss chef Yak's dinner, too. Sakura's rice was delicious."
I wonder if there is a memory correction, but Miss Alicia leaks an unbroken breath and puts a burger on her cheek instead.
Mayka laughs strangely to Miss Alicia, making her cheeks full of emotion - so adorable with her elegant craftsmanship and her exuberant appetite.
"Looks like you miss home-grown cooking.
Really?
Miss Alicia looked inside herself and laughed.
"Micah's right, maybe that's what Sakura looks like to me. It's where all the good memories, the purpose of life, and the loved ones came from."
With the same will as the words, my gaze is stretched out even further.
I was not lost in answering.
"If you ever want to come back, just let me know. I'll pick you up."
This proclamation is no rest or joke.
If that was necessary, Miss Alicia lay down her gaze with a sincere invitation to do her utmost, including a decision to remove all obstacles.
"Isn't that something you can't do with someone who has a fiancée?
"I don't feel like there's a problem, but... I don't want to be a person who can't say that."
Now I miss the announcement in that dorm room that we spent a long time together.
It's just a promise, but I promised.
When she wants to help me, I will definitely go for her help.
I am always ready to fulfill it, and I don't want to live a life where I run away for a reason that seems like it.
"Don't you like Micah, too?
"Is there anything complicated?
On the back of her tongue, Micah presses her red cheeks with a gentle smile.
"But I like Ash because I can say that, and I'm talking to Alicia. Alicia can't help it. Instead, I have to tell you, and you'll fall in love with Ash."
Rather than responding to me, I will tell Miss Alicia.
In addition, Alicia murmured that it was good to be taken away.
Well, well, thank you for taking it.
On the other hand, Miss Alicia was shy for a while, but the look on my face again was brighter than the blooming flowers.
"After all, Sakura is my home. Someday, where I'll go....."
Wait, she looked at me and said.
Somehow it was Micah who said, "Come on."
After a meal, the lord of the Mansion, Uncle Saccura Border, brings one of the reasons for today's gathering.
"So let's talk about the results of the rooting that Ash has been working on."
With regard to the youth sweet and sour exchange just now, I expressed the view that "there were many parts of the lord that felt the problem, but I don't know how to unite the women."
The power of a lord is not necessarily higher than that of a woman. This is the style of the Borderlands.
"Ash is a close associate of mine, so I have greetings from the temple. I'm basically just saying the good stuff... is this disgusting as a social resignation? Or should I take it for granted?
"My lord, do you think there is such a thing as the middle?
"Not in my world."
I envy you with a bright opinion. And easy to understand.
Since I don't hate Lord Gentow's place, I nod to Miss Alicia, who will grasp the truth about it with a bitter smile.
"Not all of them, but it's true that I like the Sacramento family so much as coming to greet them. It's the fans of the Fengbirds who make up the majority of the temple today... why does Ash look the most surprised?
"No, because there are many people who come to the discussion to eat it."
"Instead, the audience is full, right?
I can see that the debate using the House of Assembly was followed by more spectators every time, and now I see that it is a full thank you.
"There are a lot of great priests in the audience. You have a lot of young faces, right? As I said before, the Grand Priest is a revolutionary, and young people are on board in the shrine. Because the great priests are actively recruiting such young people."
It seems that it is the superiors who are holding down such young people who come into the House of Assembly.
When the listening seat is full, it is usually the best way to relieve stress that a boss who interrupts the gossip as if he made a fool of everything he does, is being manipulated by young commentators.
"The Grand Priest said it would be very helpful if the Conservatives were quiet, while the young motivated."
"I knew the Grand Priest Birkan was favorable, but I didn't know everyone in the audience was on our side."
I thought it would make sense to laugh, applaud and cheer at a good time.
The acoustic effect, or the large audience reaction after my speech, has the effect of increasing persuasiveness and dampening the will of the opponent to object.
"Well, normally, when the Grand Priest is so favorable, you can assume that the Temple is on your side."
The opposition is quite large because of the large organization, but becoming a grand priest is a testament to the popularity and political power that unites the majority in the shrine.
"Still, the boulder is Ash... did the Grand Priest really like it? When the debate is over, you always take your time, right?
"You're very carefree. I have a story to tell."
And he loves tomato dishes.
When I make tomato sauce for my souvenir and take it with me, I hug it.
I have a suspicion that I haven't been speaking out lately about the desire for tomato sauce.
"There's a rumor that the Grand Priest is completely a prisoner of Lord Fennex because of his unusual treatment."
Are you a prisoner of tomatoes?
"Tomatoes?"
Miss Alicia looked strange, but she urged her to wash it away because it was not so important.
There is no need to lower the shares of the Grand Priest, who can be considered an ally.
"I don't know... but anyway, when I met you last time, I praised Ash and promised to help. With this, I think we can win against Marquis d 'Atara first."
Well, it's time to settle.
Micah nods her tongue like she's ready to bite her prey's throat.
"I see. When this is over, both Ash and Micah will be gone, so I feel sorry for you....."
Miss Alicia's eyes narrowed as she sighed.
"There's no reason to leave those people who tried to reach out to Ash."
"That's right, Alicia!
Leave it to me, Micah.
Both of you are gripping each other's hands tightly to consolidate a warm feeling.
The air is considered hot between the two, but the surrounding air feels strangely cool.
As Lord Gentow said, binding women together is more difficult than making explosives, so I withheld my comments.
"How do you draw the Marquis d 'Atara to the finishing touches?"
For me, this is harder than earning temple favoritism.
Even the Marquis d 'Atara has the political power it deserves.
Rather, political power is quite high. It is also because of its political power that an aggressive way of beating people with money passes.
You should know that it is unfavourable in the present situation, so you will not appear in a seat that meets Sakura's people in a circumstantial manner.
In this case, a civilized solution such as a trial is not even a candidate.
A struggle between powerful people cannot be won or lost in such a way that the results are refreshing.
Rather, a scenario in which there is a clean and clean victory or defeat refers to a terrible situation.
Specifically, it's a war level story like taking the head of an enemy lord or suppressing an enemy capital.
The resources wasted are huge.
However, since there is also a sports culture in which a duel is ordered just to take the lord's head off, it is not necessarily a war.
I have to say that the refreshing sporty expectations of such blood and sweat are weak when I look at the way Datara talks.
It is not a trial or a war, but a social setting that determines whether the powerful win or lose.
When I came to King's Landing the other day, I ransacked Miss Alicia at a party hosted by the Marquis of Datala, but that was a noble quarrel.
At party venues, people gather around powerful people. It will be the number of people when something happens outside of the venue.
When you are in a state of battle with everything, you can measure how much enemy power you have.
In a nutshell, by showing them the military exercises on the border, they said, "You know what happens when we do this? It's the same as applying pressure.
At the last party, I was proud to say that by securing the most important person, Miss Alicia, in the Border Alliance, I would no longer let her do what she liked.
Along the way, I practically used force to beat a chimp named Vicomte Yasoga to cotenpan, but the effects were the same.
Since then, Miss Alicia has been able to move a lot freely.
Strengthen your connection with the Temple, emphasize the gathering of border alliances, and gradually strengthen your power as a princess.
Even though it's not funny that the Datars interfere, those who know about one of the party venues say, "Datars gave me some insider instructions, but wouldn't it be bad if I ruined the mood of the Border Alliance? As before, I will not interfere with Her Highness's actions.
In this way, a party for the powerful is part of a war that is not based on fire.
There is also the option of not standing on the battlefield because it is a war. What the Marquis d 'Atara is taking is the choice.
Anyway, if it's a sport with few things to lose, if it's a game of sneaky loss of wealth and life, no one wants to lose.
I'll do it if I'm disadvantaged.
The opponent who escapes can also think of a tactic that does not force them to follow, expands their own forces, and sharpens the opponent's forces so as to narrow them down with cotton, but this kind of tactic is not suitable for the Sakura Border Territories to despair.
"I'm as blind as a wandering insect. Let's crush it."
"It looks like the feathers are flying around nearby and I have ear problems. Let's crush it right away."
It is the speech of one noble lord and his grandson.
Well, that doesn't make any sense. Marquis d 'Atara is good at backwork, so he's going to send in some kind of detective running away, which means he has to crush it properly.
That's why the question is how to drag out the bullying Marquis of Datala.
"What should I do?"
"Then I can help you."
Miss Alicia, who was deepening her friendship with Micah, smiled.
"This is still a royal gift. I can prepare one or two banquets."
That's very reliable.
When I visited the King's Landing last time, I wondered how much the Marquis d 'Atara had sabotaged me because I couldn't even do that.
On the other hand, the Marquis d 'Atara, who gets hit back as soon as he can no longer be disturbed, is karma.
"Later, it's a question of how many people are seated....."
Miss Alicia leans her neck against her thumb.
"If you use Ash's name, you can call the Grand Priest, so it's going to be the best rank, right?
"Well, that looks like one piece at a time."
His Highness nods with satisfaction, but isn't he a little afraid of the best rank the princess will ever speak of?
