1650. Maintenance of democracy

"Do we have this fabric?

"I'm going to pick you up from the Mansion, and you want us to bake it."

Leno finishes cleaning up the confectionery and says with an impatient eye.

Pinatifida, Elantis, and Amana sat side by side in a bench on the cargo platform.Girls who always enjoy chatting with each other without saying a word, rub their arms and shoulders (loosen) with exhausted faces.

"Well... then, I'll help you with the weeding, but I'll wake you up when I pick you up.Until then, go to sleep. "[incomprehensible]

Krilo took Leno's hand and seated him in a bench opposite the girls.Put a blanket on Leno who lay down as he was told, and tell Amana to rest.

Oniichan, don't push yourself too hard.

"Yeah, everybody's tired.Get some rest. "

When Krilo got off the carrier alone, Zappers and his father, as well as the principal of the junior high school, were in the event tent.

"If Monsieur Ur and Monsieur Gaz had properly understood why Lord Sheraton had been entrusted with power in the hands of the people, they would not have participated in such ridiculous activities until they pushed the opposition of their mothers."

The principal of the long-lived race, who appeared to be in his mid-twenties, shook the fist he held on the long desk and exhaled in a grand sigh.

"Hmm? You were once a great man of the people of the lake, right?

The boy soldier Morph stopped knitting the harvest basket with grass and saw the headmaster with green hair.

"Aren't the people of land taught in history and social classes?

"Huh? Are textbooks different from the people of the lake?

Morph looks at the green-haired Awellana.

"That's not the trick.I studied the same textbook with my friends on land. "

"There were many of my classmates in the lake, too."

Blonde Queiro added with a bitter smile, Morph turned in surprise.

"Well, Zerno has a lot of people on land, and some classes don't have people on the lake, but I don't make different textbooks either way."

Morph scratched his head and turned to the principal who was in charge of the former governorate's primary and secondary schools.

"Er... elementary school textbooks only said that after half a century of civil unrest, the country became three, and only Lacrimalis returned to theocracy."

"How about middle school?

I don't know because I can't go there right now.

Krillo was harassed by Morph's failure to leave, but honestly, there was no sign of Listver.Captain Sornyak and Medvede silently knit the harvest basket.

More than two years after the start of the war, access restrictions on the island of Nenea, such as the city of Zerno, have not yet been lifted.The principal put words of encouragement on the small boy and turned his eyes to Queiro and Awellana.

"The explanation of how democracy works was more detailed than in elementary school, and there was no sign of Lacus Nenea's intention at all."

When Queiro answered, Awellana nodded.

The principal drops his shoulders as he sighs.

"You know, in other parts of the island, like Nenea, you only use textbooks that have been tested."

"Don't you use government-approved textbooks in this village?

Jorch, the national announcer, stopped taking notes and shouted sharply.

"Of course, we also use textbooks that are common across the country.However, since I became Principal, I have also used a booklet summarizing newspaper articles from that time as a supplement. "

"Why?

"Sheraton, I must tell the young generation of the people of the lake why we did not restore the rule of God."

Until he graduated from high school, Arla and Zappers, who had been educated in the village, nodded loudly at the principal's words.

Jorch opens his eyes behind his glasses.

"So, Sheraton, do you have that speech from my lord?

"That's right. With the exception of Magan Sadwis, who lives on the island of Yeiki, all the people under the former direct control listened carefully to Sheraton's declaration of Kravel capitalization and the intention of the people to rule on the radio."

"And everyone in the Lacus Nenea family?

When Lazolnik heard, the headmaster and the hunter moved their necks vertically.Zappers' father says proudly.

"As an escort, I went to Cravel with the Lacus Nenia family.Everyone else is here, except Magan Sadwis of Shimamori. "

"I also live from Independence Square... in front of the current Capitol, so I saw with my own eyes how Lacus Nenea's family would approve the maintenance of democracy."

"Is that the trick?

Old fisherman Aviace turned to the announcer of the national broadcast in surprise.

"By the end of the civil unrest, Zelno had no newspapers at all, and the radio didn't listen much because of battery savings."

"If it's not in the textbook, of course many of you don't know it...."

The principal looked down with remorse.

The funeral parlor Agoni stopped wrapping the leather string around the handle of the cage.

"I've never heard of it either.What did he say?

The principal raises his face and looks at Jorch.The announcer nodded and began explaining.

"About thirty years ago... shortly after the establishment of peace after the civil unrest of half a century, Sheraton delivered a speech defining Nemoralys' independence, the maintenance of democracy, and the capital as Cravel."

Originally a botanical garden, it was engulfed in a fire caused by arson, and was replaced at the end of half a century of civil unrest.

The vast open space brought together members of the Lacus Neña family, political leaders from Nemorales and the northern part of Neña, heads of local government, and journalists.

Citizens who have heard the radio announcement also talk about why Sheraton maintains democracy.

"During the reign of the Lacus Lacrimalis kingdom, we, the Lacus Nenia family and the Lacrimalis royal family of the people of the land, jointly ruled the country for the people of the lake and the people of the land for thousands of years.And more than 150 years ago, my father and the current Lacrimalist ruler decided to introduce democracy. "

Looking around the seats of the clan of the Lake Goddess's blood, there is no one who disputes the story of our Lord.

"Persistent race has gone from generation to generation, and there is no one who knows our era of rule directly.Even the younger generations of long-standing racists know only democracy. "

The audience nodding to fill the square spreads into a colorful sasasami.

"Now that House Lacus Nenea and Royal Lacrimalis have lost their way, if we return to the rule of God, the people of the lake and the people of the land will deepen their division even further."

Jorch, a member of the State Broadcasting Corporation's Cravel branch, is a land people, but many of the people burying the square have green hair.The people of the land became a "minority" within the newly established Nemorales.

"If I do politics (festivals), the minority people on land, and the Kilcrusts who remain in the northern part of the island under various circumstances, will suffer from alienation and injustice."

The silent agitation of the people shakes the air in the square.

"I want a world where all the people who live in this land can live together as one people in this new country."

The eyes of the people were gathered in the corner of the house of Lacus Nenia, which the people refrained from.

General Unuk Elhaia and, subsequently, Mr. Al-Jadi, who will take custody of the Republican Army, will pass through silently.

"Democracy is not just a majority vote.Wrong majorities can scratch away minority voices, crush dignity, and make it impossible from the start.Young people must be familiar with the merits of democracy. "

Sheraton said to chew it in, regardless of the embarrassment of ordinary people.

"May all the people be dear in this new country… please create a new form of democracy that fits the new republic.I do not hope that the “Republic of Nemorales”, which is a mixture of the people of the lake and the people of the land, the powerful and the powerless, the Franciscans and the Kilcrusts, will truly become one country and one people. "

The Capitol of Congress of the Republic of Nemorales was built across the square where this speech reaffirmed democracy.
