It's all one flower.

613. Hot Valve Young People

"If we kill all those people who said we'd use the Devil's Asthma Cannon, or if we catch them alive and hand them over to Artel, the war... isn't it over?

Several of the other tables nodded small, but the seven former mobile distributors and the people at the next table listen to the young man's claims with a rugged look.

The pharmacist (dull) Awellana was stunned by the words of a young returning refugee.

... do you honestly think that Artel's army and government will believe me when they say, "This is all the masterminds" and say, "Hi, really?"

That's not all. People who lost everything in the air raid were mounting guerrilla attacks on individuals and groups.

Intelligence agent Razornik's story says there's a large group of Nemoralist aspiring militant guerrillas like the guard Orioles. He says there was no collaboration between that group or individual at all, he bowled in the field and sometimes pulled each other's legs.

Already, damage has also been done to the people of Artel.

I also destroyed one air base.

... I don't think I can collect as much as I gave the congressman's neck...?

"Me, I go to the election every time, but there's no way I voted for the opposition guys. I didn't approve of those guys. Yet I wonder if they'll ever let me go with that!

Young people's claims are feverish and the number of people nodding increases.

Indeed, it would be outrageous to be treated in the same way if we tried to be supporters of those who are not supporters of the opposition, of the murdered opposition parliamentarians.

... But isn't that what democracy is all about?

Pharmacist (dull) Awellana herself, not sure, so I can't put corrections in his statement, but it's completely different from an absolute or theocratic government in which one king assumes all the power and responsibility of decision.

Instead of everyone having a decision to make, we also take responsibility for it.

He was right to say that he was not asked to pay for the responsibility with his life.

If you have trusted me and have not voted for the senator, it is all the more important.

... but, you know, the Artel people won't be convinced, and I don't necessarily honestly answer that I went around asking each and every Nemoralis who they voted for.

Rationally, it is not necessary to know that the targets of Artel's attacks have to be indiscriminate, but some of them include children who do not have the right to vote or who are in the hospital and could not go to the election.

It is all too unreasonable to tell people, like this young man, to take responsibility for the decision made thirty years ago, even to people who were not born now, even adults, at the time.

If just saying that you were born in this country makes amends with your life up to the point of responsibility for what you were born with, and if the rationale goes, will the system of democracy become a pretext for mass genocide?

... There seem to be a lot of foreign countries that are getting around the world well with this, but it's not all good, is it?

At least for Awellana, the people of the lake who lived on the shores of Lake Lacus for nearly sixty years, it was more of a bad thing.

Half a century of civil strife, the terror of star roads prostitutes, this war, and the direct causes and distant causes feel like a democratic system unfamiliar with the situation in the land.

"I only know about old kingdom-era cottos in history textbooks and movies, but I'm starting to feel like I should get them back to theocracy, as the Nemus Liberation Army says."

How's everybody doing? With that said, I slowly look around at the more than thirty young people who have been together. Some nodded, but the majority missed their faces to escape the young man's gaze.

The Kingdom of Lacus Lacrimalis...... The theocratic period, caused by the joint rule of the Lacus Nenia family of the people of the lake and the Lacrimalis family of the people of the land, has now been transformed into a republican system for a long time about one hundred and eighty years, and Awellana does not know it either.

I know if you're a spell doctor septentorio or croenier store manager, but they're far away now.

"Hey, brother, I'm in favor of the Nemus Liberation Army. Are you in the fight?

An old woman spoke from the table next to the young man. My hair is white and I don't know my race. The young man turned to the old woman with gray hair and scratched the head of the colour of the earth.

"Hmm... I'm a powerless people, and I don't know how to use weapons, because I'm just gonna be a foothold when I go..."

Instead, if killed, the wreckage could call the demon.

It's completely packed on the battlefield.

Accidental death can cause damage to both sides.

The Nemus Liberation Army itself continues to call on residents to announce the battle zone on the radio this morning and evacuate the vicinity. That may have been one of the reasons why security forces arrived around FM Cravel, but the fighting didn't start immediately.

"Yeah. Well, that's it... you're sorry. I can't believe I can't do anything without magic."

The young man lowered his back at the same time as he dropped his voice.

The returning refugees do not know what they have voiced to the young people and again turn their gaze back to the newspapers with an indescribable face.

"Brother, we, what happens now?

Manager Leno lowers his eyebrows in response to Elantis' inquiry. He stared at the table and exhaled slowly, raising his face.

Mother's alive.

"Really?"

"Why were you keeping your mouth shut?

Elantis sparkled his eyes and Pinatifida frowned.

"I have no clue where you are..."

I alternately looked at the sisters sitting across my brother, and manager Leno dropped his shoulder. Elanthis and Pinatifida's joy fades away (squishes) along the way.

The pharmacist (dull) Awellana sent out a helpship.

"At that time, my body, which was offshore, is alive, too. Maybe the fishing boat picked it up."

Elantis turned a blind eye.

"Where is your sister's ship now?

"Uh-huh... I don't know either. Mr. Kalindula doesn't seem to be in the harbor of Wangdu..."

Elantis loses his expression and Leno Store Manager and Pinatifida look sorry and bow their heads small. Awellana waved her hand small in front of her face and denied that she had meant it.

"I'm going to go find another port later. Once the ID and ledger are reissued... eh, look for the Wang capital again, then the port of the Funalis Islands, if you're not there, take a boat from the Wang capital to the city of Grom, look for the port in the southern part of the island of Nenia..."

With Nemoralis Island in this situation, it's impossible to find a port near here.

Is it likely that the city of Noge just south of the city of Zerneau?

I don't know how far I can go to find it because of the wind tree.

If Leno storekeepers' mother and bakery lady were here, it would be some port town.

Even if Awellana's parent's ship, the Kofu III, did not directly help, if its bureaucratic ship did, it could be evacuating to the same port.

"I'll look with you, too, so don't give up. Like Amiella and Kalindulla, if you're alive, you'll see her someday."

I could only encourage these kids to my current pharmacist (dull) Awellana.
