Hakai no Miko

Lesson 16 Conditions

"... you say it's not enough?

The Ethereal Horse, who almost just thought he could get the word of consent from Tateus, asked in cold sweat inside wondering if something had failed.

"That's a great suggestion. Let's admit it's a concubine."

What I particularly liked about the teeth was the fact that they were going to be interested in industry on this island with nothing.

Mermans on this island earn money from a deal to protect Jeboa's Merchant Guild trading ships from pirates and others. The Tateus clan should be hired by Jeboa as a mercenary to keep the sea safe.

But then only young and powerful warriors will be able to earn foreign currency. Many others remain primitive lives acquiring shellfish and crabs.

However, if the proposed industry of Aoima succeeds, it will be able to work not only for those young people, but also for those with weak powers. That way, the whole island will just moisturize or it will bring raw value to many Mermans.

"But didn't you tell us that you did away with the disadvantages that would arise when you accepted the proposal? Until now, the concubines have only gained friendship with Jeboa. There, those guys go sideways. Jebor won't be calm, either."

Jebor, who once fought with Marman, couldn't have been more comfortable with Marman's strength. It's bound to show some difficulty.

Besides, the proposal of the Ethereal Horse is only on the desk. Ever since I was actually interested in industry, I might have problems that I never expected. Also, even if it succeeds, it takes time for it to become visible.

That's why Tateus couldn't have undermined Jebor's mood, the only contact with land at the moment.

"And the bigger problem than that is -"

So Tateus cut off the words, and then released the next.

"- the fear of turning Holmeer, the mighty power of the West Side, against the enemy"

That possibility cannot be denied. King Walius of Holmea said he has fierce anger and hatred for the Ethereal Horse, who was supposed to bring him to his own birthday, taking one of the cities, and mulling it up to a large ransom in exchange for his brother's stature.

Just because you have such an affinity with a pale horse, it is a possible story that you will be made an enemy of your eyes.

"And a letter of concern has already been delivered to the concubine"

He had been hit first.

The Ethereal Horse pretends to be at peace and repents with his heart.

Perhaps around Jacob or Cornelius, who found out he had made contact with Marman, sent a letter to Tateus before crossing the island.

"As I said earlier, the concubines don't want to be involved in a land feud."

Merman helps a friendly small country, but turns the Empire, the champion of the centre of the continent, into an enemy, with a past chased through the sea where he lived until then. He was afraid to tread on the same footsteps as his fathers.

But the fear is the same for the Ethereal Horse. We cannot go into battle with the Holmeer State while still keeping Jeboa as our potential enemy. At any rate, I had to enter into friendship with Marman and with it make it a suppression to Jebor.

"All I'm asking for is a tie in business. It is not a military alliance. If it was just a deal with us, Holmeer wouldn't be blind either."

Jebor is not in a clear hostile relationship with the Ethereal Horse. The mere fact that we have a friendly relationship with Marman is sufficient if that is to be suppressed.

Besides, some merchants who do business with Ethereal Horses are not just Jeboa, but Holmeer merchants. If it's a sin just because you were dealing with an Ethereal Horse, then the merchants of the Holmeer country will have to be punished as well.

Furthermore, the pale horse smiled and showed.

"And Holmea will have no room for you."

To the words of the confident Ethereal Horse, Tateus exhales with admiration "ho".

In a situation of immediate contact with the Holmeer country, this word of the Ethereal Horse means that the Holmeer country will be full of its own opponents. No, I guess even more pale horse confident attitude suggests that we let ourselves try to crush the Holmeer country.

The teeth lay their hands on every one of them, often thinking.

In order not to repeat the tragedy of a hundred years ago, Tateus has dazzled the situation in the West by not only distancing himself from land, but also by setting up ambassadors in the city of Jeboa. Of course, it also grasps the approximate forces of the Holmeer State and the city of Bornis.

But I could not swallow the words of the Ethereal Horse.

"Isn't that too much to say about a country called the West Side Male as the lord of a city that's just one regional city?

Tateus sees the response of the Ethereal Horse with his words.

"Is that a big word?

The Ethereal Horse returns with a bitter smile.

"So is it also some kind of guarantee?

Tateus stepped to the core at once.

In contrast, the Ethereal Horse leaned his neck slightly and thought, then roughly lifted his forehead.

"Can't you believe just the words of this' Son of Destruction '?

A pale gleam on the revealed Ethereal Horse's forehead appears to combine 8 and ∞ of the numbers, and also a creepy engraving - the engraving of Aura, goddess of death and destruction - in which the two snakes tangle their bodies, devouring each other's tails and also appearing to wander.

The teeth with their engraving in their eyes clog the words.

Aura, the goddess of death and destruction, finally found out, confirming to an old woman who even hears herself, the queen, for the first time in a rumor and tells her oral story in order to ascertain its authenticity.

And even if the son of a goddess who was supposed to have been kept secret appeared, it was an amazing event, but when it came to what his son had done, he put a circle on it.

It is a hard story to believe in Russia when it comes to being single and showing up on the plains or simply getting Zoan's letter, which was in conflict with humans. That being said, he led Zoan, who was on the verge of doom, down the fort, took control of the city, and finally even Darius, the Holmeer's best general, who even the Marmans had heard the name, was able to retreat. We can no longer but laugh because in less than five years we developed the city of Bornis, which was only a local city in the Holmeer country, into a city that produces comparable wealth to one country.

Now he is some mythical hero, Tan. I don't think it's a very popular place to work.

But right now, that's exactly how the person of the moment exists in front of him, smashing the Holmeer country to show it.

"Exactly, Son of Destruction..."

The teeth are small and splendid.

A shady snoring grin that the Son of Destruction still floats.

And the agitation that the Son of Destruction ran among those who followed him when he named himself so. Especially for the daughter of Zoan, who has followed her to lean on the Son of Destruction and has shown absolute loyalty, it seems that she cannot hide her anxiety.

I guess they follow the Son of Destruction, yet fear its power.

So much fear. Rumor has it that you defeated that legion of General Darius by a horrible dark evil law, but that may not be a mistake either.

That's what Tateus decided.

But the truth is, the Shemurs knew that the Ethereal Horse hated Aura, the goddess who summoned herself to herself, and yet when she named herself the son of that goddess, she knew it was usually a case of hatred. And the Ethereal Horse is also simply grinning his face in an attempt to spare.

Not knowing that, Tateus exhaled, as he raised the white flag.

"I know exactly what you said. If you join hands, your concubines, Merman, will have much grace."

"Bye!

Tateus controls the pale horse that plays his voice in anticipation with his hands raised low.

"But concerns about deeper relations with land. Fear of deteriorating relations with other countries. And given the public's anxiety about them, it's not easy for an exchanger concubine to nod"

Contrary to the expectations of the Ethereal Horse, it was a word of rejection that came out of the mouth of the Tateus.

To a pale horse who will be depressed to see, but the teeth smile nicely and show.

"But that suggestion is just too much to kick. And..."

Tateus suddenly laughed at Couscous hiding his licence.

"From the people of the land, there is no excuse to drive back those who ate the meal of their concubines so deliciously that they despised barbarity."

The princesses of Marman and Olga, who watched the interaction between the two, also turn a familiar grin to the Ethereal Horse.

"So I have a suggestion from my concubine. How about getting the concubines to solve one of the problems Merman has so that the people can be convinced of their friendship with them?

"What is the problem...?

Teteus tells the wary Ethereal Horse what kind of impossible challenge it is.

"Earlier, like I said, the children are being exposed. I want you to find out who did this and make sure the children are never exposed again."

The Ethereal Horse could not answer the unexpected and difficult questions that were poked at him.

According to Olga's story, heard before he crossed the island, there's a Jeboa merchant involved even though he's holding Marman's child. If that were true, even if it was by some merchants, it would be an outrageous disgrace to Jeboa's merchant guild.

If you're trying to explore something like that, you'll definitely buy Jebor's Merchant Guild of Unhappiness.

Tateus, so to speak, pressed the Ethereal Horse to either take Jebor or Marman.

Simply considering the damage, it is obvious that it is better to place more emphasis on our relationship with Jebor than on Marman. But there's no way the Ethereal Horse can shut himself up when he hears that the children he wants are being exposed and sold off as slaves.

The pale horse turned his belly.

"Okay. Let's do everything we can to solve it."

If it were a pale horse five years ago, this would have been it. But the Ethereal Horse, who had studied Eladia and Solon as teachers and experienced some diplomacy over the past five years, went on even further.

"With the help of a close Jeboa merchant, we're sure we can work it out"

Even if the merchant who was taking the child was revealed, Ethereal Horse complains out of the blue that he would not ring a bell to them as if there had been the cooperation of the other Jeboa merchants.

There was also a risk that the teeth would be stunned by this unbalanced attitude.

"Okay. Nice to meet you."

But for Tateus, who likewise did not want conflict with Jebor, the answer of the Ethereal Horse was what he wanted. If they wield a bad sense of justice and even if they worsen Jebor's relationship with Marman, that's the only thing I can't even look at.

The pale horse stroked down his chest, ho, knowing that he had apparently received a passing score on the smile of a satisfied teeth.

But that's where the teeth become faces that remind me of something.

"Sorry, I'd like to add another condition"

To Tateus's words, the Ethereal Horse nodded. Finding the killer who takes the child is the hardest thing to do. I am already prepared to eat poison if this happens, even dishes.

Tateus said with a grin to the pale horse who was willing to take it for any impossible challenge.

"I'd like you to share the black juice from earlier."

Where did the last minute preparations go, and the Ethereal Horse let his eyes swim violently.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

On the boat returning from the island, the Ethereal Horse grabbed by the boat and nodded disappointingly.

"Uh-huh. Soy sauce is precious, but no..."

In the end, the Ethereal Horse, who promised to provide soy sauce for his teeth, was totally messing with him. Shemr tells such a pale horse as if he was truly frightened.

"Give it up, Soma. You said you had to use any hand to make friendship with the Marmans. All you have to do is put it into practice."

Apparently, when I was rotten, Ethereal Horse resented the greatest loyalist who had a habit of messing with it with his eyes. Besides, Shemr stretched his rich breasts as he moved his nose in a crack, all he had to do was argue and see if he regretted it.

That's how I can't just twist the two together. Gallum breaks in with a sinister voice.

"It's Soma. Yeah. Cut the big deal. You were okay?

Garam's worries were good. It was the Ethereal Horse who used to discourage Holmeer and others who were fearless and utterly insolent in their battle against Holmeer. Yet I never saw him do a grand slap like I would smash Holmea in front of a teeth.

"Well, it's unlikely that Holmeer will be obsessed with Marman because of me."

I also told Tateus, I just made a deal with myself, and Holmea just won't be complaining either. If we do that, the Holmeer State will have to incriminate all the merchants in the country or even Jeboa.

"And in the unlikely event that the Holmeer Nation comes under pressure on Marman, it won't be until it breaks us. By then, Mr. Tateus won't be complaining to me."

The Gallums laugh bitterly at the pale horse, who puts his chest up so well. If you lose to Holmea, what awaits you on the Ethereal Horse is execution as a great sinner. Exactly. Tateus wouldn't even come to complain about the Ethereal Horse's exposed neck, but I don't think he'd be good at that.

"What are you talking about? Stupid!

Shemr slaps the back of the pale horse's head, punching him tightly.

"Don't be ridiculous, what do you do with Merman's kid? I wonder if anyone who knows will find him?

"Uh-huh.... In the meantime, I'll ask Mr. Joash if he has any idea. Later, depending on that answer?

I don't know how friendly he is with the Ethereal Horse, but I don't know if Joash will help us to make it a scandal for the Merchant Alliance, but he's the only one I can count on.

"Anyway, let's do whatever we can. I had a hard time getting this far. It's not good enough to treat a good fish."

As soon as I said that, everyone looked at me uniformly. And I said, "What's wrong?" Asked by the pale horse with his eyes, Shemr says on behalf of everyone.

"It's my" you under the umbilical. "I hate to say it, but eating fish raw doesn't sound like a good hobby."

The Garams also nodded at Shemr's words.

But the Ethereal Horse groans in his chest, "I don't know," he said. The texture you can taste because it's raw and the natural flavour of the fish. I don't even feel sorry for the Shemls for not knowing that. In the original world, even foreigners who initially had an aversion to raw fish became a huge boom when they found out how good raw fish were. Soon the Shemurs will also know how good raw fish are and shame their own ignorance. Long live the Japanese food!

A pale horse who was immersed in superiority with that in mind, but frozen in the words of the next Shemr.

"I'm afraid of bugs, like eating fish raw."

From the face of the Ethereal Horse, I made a noise and my blood drew.

"... bugs? Kick, parasite......!

With that said, the Ethereal Horse remembered.

Raw fish can be eaten safely by the development of refrigeration and aquaculture techniques in modern Japan, but before that, some fish were afraid of parasites and could not eat them. I also hear that when you sashimi a squid, you cut it thin because squid often have a parasite, to cut and kill it.

"Yes, but Marman also ate raw all the time..."

A pale horse who had managed to find a reassuring ingredient, but I recall even more.

Parasites that are often thought to invariably cause disorders when parasitized, but many do not surprisingly harm the host. That's because if the host dies, parasites that are parasitic are also in danger of dying.

However, such parasites, which seem harmless, can also cause serious damage if they are parasitized to a host that did not originally envisage parasitism.

An example of this is Echinocox. Parasitic to foxes, dogs, etc. is almost harmless echinocox, but parasitic to humans causes severe hepatic dysfunction after a long latency period, which in the worst case results in death, he said.

Just like that, if the Mermans were in a parasitic cycle, they wouldn't have been seriously impaired, even if they had been parasitized.

But if there were such a parasite and I had spoken of it...

The paled pale horse has a trembling voice and asks Shemr.

"Sheml. Mm, there's a bug...?

Shemru sighed heavily.

But after this, too often, the Ethereal Horse will eat the fish raw and tear the great eyeballs from Shemr. In the "Memorandum of Shemr" passed on to future generations about it, Shemr writes:

"It's hard to understand just Soma's vices of trying to eat raw fish until he drinks a bug," he said.
