Kujonin

The morning of the election was greeted by an oasis in the desert.

The sky is clear with no clouds.

The large fire in the desert, Fire Festival, did not end due to the earthquake, so he decided to burn a large wooden doll for elections and New Year celebrations. That it is also good for the spirit of fire. I don't know if it's true, but now the fire spirits are going around at the bottom of the tower. He did evacuation drills for "" in the countries around him, and he fell deeply into fear. Is it close to becoming a demon? The hero of the fire looks at the spirit of the fire and, if he is worried, is waving his hand to the merchants who have gathered as kelo.

"It's charismatic. What kind of heart do you have?"

Near the fire hero was a reporter with a communication device. Until then, the profession of reporters was rare, but with the advent of telecommunications equipment, it seems that it became a popular business at once. The state of the election is broadcast throughout the fire country and eavesdropping by neighboring countries.

"Can you hear God?"

I grabbed the communication bag and called out.

"I'm on Komulo."

"e!?"

Looking up from the inn window, I saw God's feet.

"Please tell me if there is God."

"I am here"

What a mountain thelma.

"Isn't it just a fancy plan without thinking about it?"

"If you can see through my heart, you know."

"Mr. Komlo, don't break it!"

"I can't help it. I'm just a cleaning and extermination company. I'm not a politician's secretary or an orator. It's stranger to ask such a man to get rid of the hero."

"That's right. There is no help for him because he just fit in the frame."

Don't decide a person's life like a lottery winning number.

"The evil god also says that the spirit of fire will be a demon, and he must lie somewhere.

"I'll do my best"

Burning feeling came out. I have no confidence. However, only the bastard should not forgive that brave man who does not regard people as people.

The brave fire was greeted with cheers and raised his arms, laughing at the merchants, the crowd.

"Welcome to the gathering! It is a great pleasure to welcome this day to both the Spirit of Fire and to the country. Last year, there were a lot of hardships, but this year, I want to be a year of leap for the merchants in this country, and there can be no one but me who has the most protection from the fire spirits!ぁ! "

From the direction where the brave of the fire shook both hands,

Gow, Gow.

The airship came out of the dunes.

It is smaller than the previous airship, but features an almond-like form that makes it feel functional. The speed seems to be much faster than before. Aalim was saying.

As the airship was partially destroyed and descended in front of the rebuilt tower, applause and cheers arose from a large crowd. Today's climax. Are you going to put pressure on us? It's so awesome! Even though it is still before the candidate's speech, he is excited.

"Quiet! Quiet! I'll call on the next candidate! Samuel, the guild manager of the Lakeshore Merchant Guild!"

Election Commissioner Chief of the Desert Guild called Samuel on the stage.

Samuel went straight to the stage. My family, I and Affine are hiding in my clothes but my son is with me. There is no applause or cheer from anyone. It was quiet. From the audience, I felt a glance, "Why did you come out?" "Was there any candidate other than the brave of fire?" Still we looked straight ahead, following Samuel.

"Samuel runs a paper wholesaler on the lakeshore. She is the guild manager of the merchant guild, the father of her children here, and her husband."

Samuel said while introducing his family.

"Today we have something to tell. Please ask the merchants in the country of fire."

"Would you like to move on to the candidate speech?"

The desert guild chief with a turban on his head asked Samuel.

The audience jumps at the audience, saying that they think the winner of the fire is the one who wins first. The last thing that makes me laugh is when it's time to settle.

"Are you sure you want me first?"

"Oh, of course.

Samuel listens and the brave of fire returns.

"Everyone at the party is Samuel. Last year, an ant monster called Simant broke out near Lakeshore, where I live. A company called Komuro, run by Komuro, is here. Would have spread throughout the country of fire, thank you for the passage, and as soon as you thought that the eradication of Simant was over, a massive earthquake occurred. The guild died at this time. ''

Samuel was distressed, as if she was not talking well.

Do your best! Do your best!

"The Komuro Company also helped the town at this time. Thank you."

Thanks are good.

"I lost my predecessor, I became the guild of the Lakeshore and my life changed a lot. In the town, there was not enough building material for the house that collapsed due to the earthquake, so I managed to procure it here in an oasis in the desert For the first time in the "Fire Festival" where I met a lot of people, met a wonderful guild leader, and I changed, not to think of a local town, but to look at the whole as a country It was at this time that I learned my perspective: foreign countries that were far away suddenly came closer, and I was interested in the relationship.I was just a paper wholesaler, thinking about the relationship with the mercenary country and the Great Plains, I was also worried about Snowfield, which was also affected by the earthquake, a major change, perhaps because of the spread of telecommunications in today's fire country. But there's something that doesn't change: the family, and not the gods and spirits, but also the family, when they are in trouble, only the family can help, no matter how depressed we are. Fireworkers, a merchant guild of the family, is also a family member. It's thanks to Fireworkers that they were able to get to the Fire Festival without having to pay for travel when suffering from an earthquake. Do you have this? "

Samuel, who was slowly riding, took out the paper with the word "Fire" from his bosom and showed it.

"It is our family, not God or the Spirit, who help us if there is a person in need. There are times when there is high or low heat, like a burning fire in business. The merchants in the country are all families. They live dependably, ”and I believed in it, but the head of the family hasn't listened recently. I didn't hear from a quarry quarryer who mined magic stones, and suddenly cut off my connection with the mercenary nation, or tried to set up a war on Eddiebara, who lent me a book. It is as if you are ignoring the story of the children.I want you to think once again as a family.Is it true that the hero of fire is the leader of this country? Is it okay to be the head of the family? That's all for my story. "

Mmm ~ Nice fight! Nice fight! He was sincere.

"Continuing, Spikeman!"

As the guild chief of the desert said, the brave of fire began to walk slowly on the stage.

"Certainly, the first people to rush during the last earthquake in the country of fire last year were the Komuro companies there."

The fire hero pointed at me.

A large wheel in the desert "A number of witnesses have been witnessing the rescuing of presidents with detection skills. As a fire hero who is best protected by the fire spirits, I am ashamed. It's this me who has been thinking about this country most, without expanding the territory and taking up heavy taxes from merchants. I can't tell you about this country, I've always tried the best I can in this country, I didn't let the Snowfield quarryers do it, it was just the best. Thanks to you, you can promise great rewards! You destroyed your alliance with the nation of mercenaries, because you no longer need to wage war, you only need to hit it with a single hit, and you will know all over the continent. Most great With just one blow, "" can end the war with minimal sacrifices.The most efficient way to capture the magical country, Edybara, and expand the sales channel to the west sea Immediately after this I will board a new airship for Edybara and promise that I can bring the enormous profits to you merchants in the land of fire afterwards! " When spread, cheers and applause came from the audience.

"I am the only one in the country who can do this, the man who is the most blessed by the fire spirits, the spike man, the fire hero, so I!"

The voltage at the venue rose at a stretch and applauded. Great chorus of "Spikeman".

"The merchants in the country of fire are family members! Don't let the water of the family's passion for business spill the water and kill it! The fire is going away! Leave it to me! "

There was a game. Charisma is like this. No matter how sincere you speak, the excitement wins. Affine, who was listening next door, also closed his eyes and looked sober. However, he gets out of his seat as the hero of fire.

"Yeah! It's bad that I think I won, but I'm on the stage too. Let's just give a supportive speech!

I told the guild chief in the desert.

"Oh, I'm listening to the cheering speech, and I don't think the" Fire Festival "will end without listening to the Komuro Company."

The guildmaster in the desert looked up at a large wooden doll.

"Thank you! Comlo, President of the Comlo Company!"

At first I thought I'd do it, but all the air was taken to the fire hero.

"I'm sorry but it's bad, but everybody has a question about the burning fire. What's the fire? Anyone, anyone who can explain what the fire is?"

"Fire is fire!"

One of the audience shouted.

"Fire is the norm of fire. Please explain. I'm not sure."

Speaking with a laugh, the audience also laughed.

"Well, let me tell you what the fire spirits said about fire, or have you ever been to fire spirits?"

I raised my hand and encouraged me to raise my hand if anyone had ever been. Only one, the brave of fire, raised his hand.

"Well, what is the fire hero? And have you heard what the fire is?"

"No, no."

The fire hero answered.

"I guess. It's normal for fire to blend into your everyday life and not even ask you what it is. By the way, I've only met the Spirit of Fire once. Are you enviable?"

Listen to the audience and play with them.

"I'm not enviable!"

"I'm really enviable!"

I returned from a good audience.

"It's a ridiculous beauty. Her hair is black, her skin is white enough to make her blood vessels transparent, and she combines the innocent cuteness of a girl with the eroticism of a bewitching mature woman. There is no man. "

A breath similar to a sigh leaks from the audience.

"I asked if I was working with such a fire spirit. What do you think you answered?"

I put a moment.

"'It's my job to cook my mother's food for a child who comes to a bonfire on a cold night and returns home crying. If anyone is in the dark, he'll cure the water. If there's anyone who gets lost in the dark, illuminate the way. It's all my job. Did something go wrong? " He answered with such a pleasant voice, but is it really the case, haven't you ever calmed down after seeing the fire? "

I asked the youngest merchant who was in front.

"Oh yes, there is.

"What is the guild length in the desert?"

"Of course there is. If a hawker doesn't have an inn, he'll always camp at night."

"But that's why it's because you're watching when you're calm? Like when I saw" Woooooo !! "

I fired out a fire enough to fire a match from my fingertips.

"Whether it looks like a pilot or an inner spirit, is there anybody? Imagine this big wooden doll burning? Waiting for this doll to burn You've got it, are you there? "

I raised my hand again and let the audience raise my hand.

"How does it look like lonely or is it exciting?"

"I feel sad after the festival ..."

"I wonder if this will make business prosperous."

Some of the audience answered.

"Fire is a mirror that reflects a person's heart, and a fire is not a mirror that reflects a person's heart. By the way, where I was before, fire was just called the phenomenon of just burning, and it was said that it was nothing more or less. No, on a cold day the water freezes, nothing else, the fire is just a fire, you don't have to worship or fear, it's just a phenomenon, so the person who answered you was the right answer. What?

"Is that so!?"

The person who answered just shouted, causing a little laugh.

"Now, let's recall what the Fire Spirit said, warming a traveler with a bonfire on a cold night, isn't he just looking at the bonfire and looking at his heart? Because fire is a phenomenon, my body is just warming up, and when my mother cooks food for a child who returns after crying, it is said that it is fire that warms her, but the warmth of her mother is like a crying child It is the wisdom of the people who have cultivated in the work of humans that if trees and pests increase in the field, it will be effective to burn it. We call our friends friends who come to help by igniting in the dark and igniting fire, who always thinks about fire? Because it's a fireworker, you can compare anything to fire, There is only really in the correct thing? The fire is fire, to borrow the name of the fire, the fire of the brave might only have Taburakashi the merchants of the country of fire "

"I'm not seducing fireland merchants!"

The fire hero shouted.

I looked straight at the fire hero.

"Well, let's just follow the facts without ignoring the name of the fire. Today we brought a beautiful woman. Mr. Afine, here."

Affine has come to my side.

"He was a professional at Magic Pound, a village where the country of fire once mined magic stones."

"As you can see, it's a former prostitute."

Affeine does not lie in her past. That's a little too cool.

"Mr. Aphine lived right next to the hole where she was mining magic stone and was drinking water from the village well, right?"

"Yes"

"Can you show me your child?"

Affine showed the audience a baby with a horned forehead, like the goblins she had born.

"Hi!"

"It's a monster!"

"It's a goblin!"

"I'm cursed because I'll do something I don't know who it is!"

I pointed to the last audience I said.

"I see. Your son, isn't he more like the guy next door than you?"

When I said that, there was a laugh around him.

"Everyone is so horny that he doesn't eat any food. Mr. Aphine is a great person. She says that even if she gave birth to a demon, her mother would love her child. Alone, they go to the demonic country to raise this child, not just Affine, but many of those who were prostitutes in Magic Pound gave birth to such demons. Most of the births were abandoned in the forest, and I think Affine, who lives as a mother and child, knows their true strength. That's the power of the family. Thank you very much. "

Affeine said, "Are you alright?"

"She didn't say she was a victim of a magic stone quarry, but what do you guys think? Or maybe at least some children were abandoned and died. Of course, their mothers are not the only victims, but they are not the only victims of mining stones: there are a number of people who are digging the pits and burying them. Many, not only in Magic Pound, but also in Snowfield, so how many people died, are they sure victims? It kills people again, and each victim has a family. "

"Wait! Don't play sophistry! The magic stones obtained from magic stone mining weren't used only for weapons. They're also used for magic tools such as magic stone lights and heat boxes!"

The hero of fire has come.

"It's also weird. Look at other countries. No one is mining gemstones, but are you alive? If you accept a lot of adventurers, the gemstones that you get when you defeat monsters The heat box should have a fireplace and firewood, and the magic stone light should be a lantern like a pavilion? I think the amount is flowing to the weapons. ''

I turned to the audience again and started talking.

"Now, many people died in the mining of gemstones, but many died in the quake. In fact, earthquakes often occur in the basin where the gemstones are mined."

"Lie! You must be out of reasoning in the survey."

The brave of fire has once again sandwiched his mouth. And they seem to be reading our survey.

"We found three pools of magic on this continent and found that all three were experiencing greater or lesser earthquakes. A martial arts teacher called" magic art "was similar. I'm writing, but I'm deciding if I'll let the brave of fire continue to dig the magic stone anyway, but I will ask all the merchants who are listening to my words right now I want to

I looked around the audience and looked to my eyes as much as possible. Talk to each one.

The big wheel in the desert "And finally, it's the future, but I can't say anything, but do you really think that if you use" ", the war will end? "Ah, I think that if we show off our magic tricks, we won't even be a war, and that's our conclusion."

I swallowed the word that it was not us but Arim.

"A word from the mercenary king. 'Well, the war will go away. Even in a merchant's country, I guess you don't understand the work of people.' I agree with this opinion. The brave man, didn't your firefighter kill your best friend by the fire of those who took the task of revenge in the land of fire, or did you still know Nathan was killed by the fire of work? Anyway, what I'm talking about is magic stone mining and war, and someone's family is dying, as long as I keep going, it's a minimal sacrifice Then please drink this! "

I said so and put the water of the underground lake in the demons into a glass and offered it to the brave of fire.

"This is the water Affeine drank all the time in the Magic Pound. The water I drank all the time in Snowfield if we didn't investigate. One of the best things you could have let the Snowfield miner do One is this water, drink it, are you the same Fireworkers family as the miners? "

"..."

The hero of the fire did not receive the cup I offered and turned down silently.

"'I just pushed it over, it was just the best' !? It's not fun, I don't know how many people died, but I don't use the least words! You can't drink this cup of water, Do you know what the best and least of your family knows? ... Ask the merchants of the country of fire again! Whether this fire spirit follows the spoiled brave fire or the family! When you are in the toughest situation and your mind is cold, the merchants of the land of fire want to warm up, just fire or the warmth of the family! That's it. "

I got off the stage with Affine and headed for the inn.

"Did you talk too much?"

"Yes, I talk too much."

I think so too. I don't know if you could get rid of the brave.

However, the merchants who have gathered continue to discuss, and even the merchants behind the telecommunications machine have begun to talk and have no control. What will happen.

"Where are you, God?"

I returned to the inn and called God in my communication bag.

"Oh, I'm at the pavilion. The evil god is the same. You can see interesting things. '

I jumped in the sky and suddenly descended from the sky, and entered inside from the collapse of the tower.

Opening the door at the bottom of the ship, God and the evil god laugh at the fire spirits in the magic circle.

The spirits of the fire in the magic circle had been reduced to the size of a fist rather than a circle. Moreover, it is not a human figure, but eyes and mouth in the flame. Wouldn't it be perfect?

"What is this? Why did this happen?

The evil god laughed and asked God.

"Come on. Comoros worshiped and feared the fire, and it was just a fire, didn't it?"

"In the world I was in before, there were no spirits or demons, so it was a product of fancy. For me, the spirits and demons in this world look like water and fire in person. If I could become a spirit or a devil depending on the mood of the person, I thought I could solve the personification of the spirit that people imagine. It doesn't tell you that it has changed, and it looks like this while exploring how the audience is listening. ''

I wonder if the result was all right.

"Oh boyfriend is here."

The evil god stared at the door.

The door opened, the brave of fire came in, and began to be scared of us.

"Well, look at her."

God said so, and the brave of fire was appalled to see the spirit of fire in the magic circle.

"Huh, we're good. Let's make it our world."

When the evil god says, God and the evil god disappear suddenly, and I come out of the door.

Looking back as he exits the door, the hero of the fire is staring at the void and sticking his toes on the floor.

It seems that it takes a few days to count the results of the election voting. I wish there was no fraud.

The next day, the fire hero took the shattered fire spirit and died north on an airship.

Many witnesses reportedly boarded the airship while talking to someone in the lantern.

"Well, when this happened, the outcome of the election became better, but is it okay for us to fulfill the request for extermination of the hero?"

I contacted God. It was as originally planned, but it must have been exterminated, since he had driven the hero out of the land of fire.

"Oh, good. I felt like I got some strange things here too. "

"And then, about the rewards, I think they're accumulating quite a bit."

"Oh, yeah! 』

"I'm gonna get some of them together, so I'd like to thank you."

"Oh yes yes"

You have to ask your employees.

"Thank you very much this time!"

I contacted Sassa.

"Oh, no, this is it. Even if you return from the Southern Hemisphere, you're still a comblo company. "

"I see. For the time being, I don't know so much, but please thank the people of Eddyborough."

"I'd rather thank you, but I understand."

"see you"

I thought that it would be an adult to finish it with a communication bag, but I'm a little tired, so I'll give you a break.

Bow and the mercenary king sneaked to the desert oasis the day after the fire hero was gone. He seems to be getting along very well. I think it's better to return early because Rita is pregnant.

However, we all drank with our employees.

The results of the election are that three people will take about one-third each, and since there is no longer a hero of fire, it will be Samuel and my final ballot.

"No, I'm not running for the first time!"

Samuel has been named the country of fire.

We all went to see the Samuel family and were hugged by the whole family.

"No way, I didn't think I could really be this big role."

"You may want to practice your speech."

I think there are many situations where honesty alone is not enough.

"Okay, let's get on!"

On the third night after the election, the desert guild chief lit a large wooden doll.

I felt the end of the festival while watching the burning dolls.

"Will you return to Alice Fey?"
