Reasons not to open your mouth

SIDE: Minot.

"So, Minotaur, please"

"Why are you interrogating me? Mr. Slachi, John, or Steve the Goblin, I think you're better at that?

That's what Steve told me. He had his neck tied to an interrogation order against the commanders of the captured Zrabble Empire.

"No, I'll interrogate you scattered, too. I'm telling you, there's nothing to talk about when you're goblin. Goblins and other demons seem to be normal over here, and the threat doesn't work at all."

"I mean, you, the miscellaneous fish came all the way here, and you were attacked at first. Buha!?

Mr. Surakichi laughs when he remembers that time.

"But in the end, Steve seized me. Still don't talk, do you?

"I forbid violence and torture. The prisoner is told to treat him politely because he may negotiate with him in the future. Because of that, they think it was some kind of coincidence that I seized it back then. I can do it again and again to make you understand...

"If it's going to take a lot of work like that, it's faster."

"That's what happened. If you look at Minotaur, your enemies will open their mouths to the boulders. On the other hand, if you still don't want to crack your mouth, you should look into the other ones or let them swim."

"I see. Be."

The last interrogator.

And if you let them track you whether you succeed or fail.

"So, I understand the mission, but why isn't John here?

"Uh, he's calling in the lab and financial accounting."

"What do you mean, be?

"The lab will explain to Ellis about the ammunition he consumed in the last battle if he reports about the fighters on board, or if he's in financial accounting."

"Uh...... Well, that's tough."

At the lab, root for Mr. Naruzia and Comet's sense of weapon use and dig leaves.

Financial accounting tells me a lot about the supplies Ellis spent and the amount.

... John, I'll pick up your bones.

"Come on, let's go to work."

"Ooh."

"When you're done, you can go to dinner."

So we broke up with Steve and went to the interrogation room and quickly talked to the commanders of the Zurable Great Empire.

"Hi, sorry to bother you"

rattling!?

When I enter the interrogation room, everyone in the Zlable Great Empire who was inside first takes their seats and stands as surprised.

There are three of them, one a young man, the other a woman, and the last one a tanned middle-aged man.

"Oh, I don't mind you sitting there..."

Why don't you? There was a local word for it.

Dialect is a habit.

"Mi, minotaur!?

"Chi, no. You know, bloody minotaur when it's hairy."

"Oh, it's per sister. You knew very well. I'm Minotaur, who's supposed to listen to you all instead of Steve the Goblin. Nice to meet you."

"Minotaur? How simple. No, I don't care about the name. Why, it's called that goblin, the demon is speaking people's language!?

"It's so strange, isn't it? Even that way, he's using demons. Using Magic Gear."

"How do you know about Magic Gear!?

Hmm. I knew Amy was right, or as the dossier suggests, the Zlable Great Empire was running Magic Gear. Be it.

and before that.

"Can I answer that, but can you tell me your name first? Ladies and gentlemen of the Great Empire of Zlable."

……

Oh, like Steve said, you have a tough mouth.

"Well, that's fine if you're silent. After that, you should like it because I'll let you go. However, please note that since you are currently treated as a large band of bandits, we will not be able to return the supplies collected from you."

"Do what you want! Who the hell are you? You know this one as the Great Zrabble Empire!

"No, because this one just did a crusade for the bandits that were rampant at the request of the Gusud kingdom. I have nothing to tell you about this one."

I mean, there's no reason to bother giving information. Now that I know somewhat about their purpose, I'm allowed to name Seasifo and Weed if necessary, but I don't even bother talking from this side of the world in this situation.

"He said he was a bandit! Take us!"

"No, 'cause you don't name me or belong to me, so as far as I'm concerned, I'm just going to have to deal with you as a bunch of bandits. So far, you're only aware of the bandits who are scamming the Great Empire of Zrable."

……

The appraisal has found out that he really is a Zrabble Great Empire official, but if we don't get a name from him here, we can't deal with him here.

Well, what the hell kind of options do these people pick?

If we go back with the supplies taken from us like this, our necks will undoubtedly fly, in conjunction with the army being dispersed.

Or is it time to open your mouth?

Either way, we'll go back to the country, so how much information can we collect as a bunch of people?

With that in mind, a sinister-faced middle-aged man who had never tried so hard to open his mouth opens his mouth.

"Request of the Kingdom of Gusud…. I mean, do you belong in some country?

"Yes, I am."

"What country! You think you'll be safe when you hit the Great Empire of Zlable!

"Even so awesome, as I said earlier, you're not named for your own clear identity, so as far as we're concerned, it's only possible to handle it with a bunch of bandits who are just scamming the Zrabble Great Empire. Why are you still hiding your identity when you've been caught this way? Or are they really people who have nothing to do with the Zlable Great Empire? If you're really from the Zlable Great Empire, if you say so, you can handle it accordingly? Or is it a question of us contacting the Zlable Great Empire?

……

When you hear that, you two will shut up completely, but you seem the greatest sinister...... uh, make it old man already.

So, Grandma opens her mouth.

"I think you know that. If you keep congratulating them, they'll all be slaughtered."

"Well, I guess so. You attacked a port with no 10,000 soldiers for 80,000, but you failed. Besides, Wyburn troops are wiped out, mage units are also devastated considerably, infantry is dispersed and supplies are lost. It's usually an impossible way to lose, and it's damage. So you think we're gonna keep doing this?

"That's right. I believe that is the only way to prolong the life that remains of us. Even if they were freed like this, they wouldn't be able to return to their country. So we'll have to really move as bandits as it is"

"I know what you think, but the soldiers are dispersed in the last battle. Some magicians have also retreated, so I don't think it's possible they won't know this great defeat by the Zrabble Great Empire's own country anyway?

……

Grandma also loses her word in return.

After all, you can assume these three don't have a decent future.

... here, let's say we start your operation.

"Okay, here's a suggestion. If you are willing to cooperate, we will guarantee your safety. Anyway, you're going to die like this. You couldn't even beat the goblin you were in charge of before me, so it's unrealistic to take me down. What do you think?

Yes, you taught me how to play pompous.

I was able to get a statement directly from the other person that I had to die as I am now.

In other words, if there is a way to help, just be prepared according to the military persuasion...

"… I took pride in dedicating myself to my country. I cannot accept such an offer."

"Then why don't you honestly reveal your name or affiliation? That would be against the will of the country. If we don't tell them as soon as possible that the army has been wiped out, it's a national crisis, right?

……

"You will receive the silence as affirmation. Well, if you're gonna stop being a bandit in this neighborhood, this time I'm gonna let you take your life."

When you say that, not your old man, but your brother stood up unexpectedly......

"Commander, I won't! Riding this invitation is against the country!

No, I'm already disobeying my country at the moment.

Without the scratch or anything, I thought you were simply young.

Exactly my sister......

"Shut up. That's up to the commander. Already, we are merely defeated soldiers, and we have no position. To be honest, it would still be weaker to destroy this place than to return to the country."

"But!"

"Then what are we going to do here simply to be liberated! You can't even go back like this, Minot is right, are you going to be a bandit too!

"That's... but!

The two of us started talking.

Well, it's about whether to die or live, the country or your own life...

Another shot here, then.

"Right. He seems troubled, so one more thing. If you can speak as generals of the Zlable Great Empire, let us swear that we will not give your stature to the Kingdom of Gusud. If you do, you won't be attacked with hostility."

"... it will make the Gusud kingdom wander, is it good?

"This time, it's force majeure that we took part in the fight. I mean, originally, we weren't going to fight everyone in the Great Zrabble Empire."

Well, even though it's a one-off fact, I'm very angry with the Zurable Great Empire, which was pillaging Mr. Cellaria and all that.

But the total number of battles is absolutely too different, so if we talk about it and listen to the circumstances, and don't get a good idea of Magic Gear's existence, the situation could get muddy, so we're taking these maneuvers.

That's right, Mr. Tyelephant.

Of course, you and Tyke thought about it.

So, Grandma's response is...

"I mean, you guys and we had an unfortunate bump by accident, but supplies are just keeping us. Is that okay?

"Oh, right. After food poisoning, or plague, and the army was extremely exhausted, those responsible were already dead. There, he met the army thinking it belonged to the Gusud kingdom, which was in Aurelia, and had to be stopped and engaged, but was captured. So what do you say?

"I see. I hope so, but you think that makes sense? As you said to yourselves, there are those who have already fled."

"If you take some supplies home, it will be recognized as fact. Besides, the opponent who was in Aurelia and fought was not the Kingdom of Gusud. It was us. Are you entrusted with political judgment, even if you don't know who you belong to or who your country is, but you can wage war arbitrarily?

"Is that what you mean? Indeed, the orders we have received are only the end of the remnants of the Gusud Kingdom. If there are forces in a country you don't know about and you've been involved in, do you think it's natural to ask for the instructions above first?"

All right, all right, it worked.

"Well, I ask you again, who are you?

"I was rude. My name is Vol Wheeler and I am with the Zrabble Imperial Army, 2nd Party Army. After that, get to know me. So, may I ask where Lord Minot belongs?

"Yes. I..."

This is how we finally started our discussion with the Great Empire of Zurable.
