It Seems I Came to Another World, Now What Should I Do

I've got some talk, so I'll have you back at the Pleasure Street Inn with the intelligence guys. As it stands, we can't release him yet because he's an executor. It would be a flow of integration officially as a citizen if you came back with intelligence even to Dubtia.

"But are you sure?

Kabia squeaks as she looks at the door after the hunters leave.

"What?

"No. I was wondering if there was any blame because of the circumstances."

Hmm. Is that what we're gonna talk about...

"First of all, what punishment do you think would be right if you commuted your sentence for the crime of trying to assassinate me as circumstantial?

Ask Kabia.

"Is it some kind of fine?

"Yeah, well, I wonder how much my life is. So, I guess we should reduce the number of extenuating circumstances."

When I ask that, I get stuck with the answer.

"The death penalty is a legal lapse. I'm talking about the best punishment for sin, but there's no reason for that. If you just have to die, if you don't spare your life, you can commit any sin, right?

Tilt your little neck and the caviar will look bitter.

"Well, I did impose the death penalty because I guess gold was heavier than life when it came to merchant humans. You're the one who can use it to kill people for money in the first place. This is also a big part of killing everyone who thinks about retaliation on the Dubteer side. Otherwise, I'm scared after I put him to death, and the lord can't put him to death. It would be easier if you were a lifelong lonely person like fallen into a bandit or something. On the flip, the hunters had been forced to act unintentionally with their debts shielded. That's why it's so exaggerated."

With that said, reluctantly Kabia nods.

"Besides, assuming they come into 'Lisatia', among the hunters... that's not all, I think it's going to take a lot of time among the inhabitants to get rid of the sight of an executor who tried to assassinate the lord. If my glory were stronger, the sins of the past would, on the contrary, stand in darkness, as shadows do. I can't do much to regain my credibility and create a life in that. I'm sure we can't get rid of it unless it's for the kids."

Caviar flatters at the words.

"So there's no point in moving?

"It makes sense. If they stay like this, they will surely lose the center of their family. It's pretty hard to rebuild your life from there. Well, it's hard to go on, it's hard to go back."

"... Yes"

"Still, I want to give you a chance. I think it would be a good thing if we could work hard and win credibility and stabilize our lives. I'm sure they wouldn't want to abandon such a stable life either. Because it's the result of my efforts. That's why you can trust me if I'm to be accepted as a citizen in this land. More than that, it should definitely be trustworthy."

"I see..."

"Well, I guess that hardship means punishment. Because I have to work hard for the well-being of my family and my loved ones. After all, it's hard to punish sinners. It's not an easy story to kill, and if you don't say no to the chain of revenge somewhere, you're gonna end up killing everything for a long time."

"That's... that's empty"

"Yeah, it's empty. I wonder if that's why it's an opportunity. If there is hope, people admire it. No matter how hard it was, if there was a path that would be better in front of you, it would be a step forward. In the end there is no such thing as ultimate equality. For example, Kabia has worked harder than others because she is a housekeeper. That's why I also give preferential treatment. Is this unequal?

"No, I don't think so"

"Yeah, that's right. The ceiling for resources such as money and status is set. There's no point in wandering around thinking about it. On the contrary, because you sinned, there is no hope if your life ends as it is because you did not grasp the opportunity well. I think giving them equal opportunities can offer them a way to recover properly. So if you can work hard to get back on your feet, fine."

"If I can't...?

"Think in that case. It would be in the form of a punishment commensurate with the debt you have shouldered and equivalent to sin. Either way, anyone who rots could leave. I'll give you a chance, but I'm not going to save anyone who doesn't want to exercise it."

When I tell him that, Kabiya snorts.

"Convinced."

"Is Liz convinced now, too?

I'll also ask Liz, who was listening back there.

"Yeah. I think it's natural to make amends in some way if you do something wrong. But if you made amends, it should be good to be saved. Besides, I think it would be nice if Hiro could think about the future without being sad."

"Good. There seems to be no difference of view. Well, can I ask Kabia for a response later?

"I'm in awe"

Stretch out your spine, gently tap the nodding Kabia shoulder, and follow the hall with Liz.

"Phew, I'm tired. When I say indemnity, this is happening because I don't have the money originally. Even when labor is imposed, the labor performed by unmotivated people will not be very successful."

"Hehe. If you don't have to carry what Hiro doesn't need, that's the best part."

"Thanks. Well, is Liz going to the factory?

"Yeah, 'cause I think Taro and Hime are waiting too"

"Oh well. I'll show my face to the Chamber of Commerce first. Looks like I got what I was asking for."

"Okay. What about the rice?

"I think you've already made it, so why don't we eat it and then get out"

"Yeah."

With Liz nodding, head to the dining room. Well, I wonder what the results are for those in development. It would be a lot easier if I could do this later. With that in mind, Liz and I got to the dining room seat.
