Ahhn ~

I spoon the stew that was handed over to me and carry it to my mouth.

"Wait!

Stop me like May yells.

"Eh, what's wrong?

"And what if it's poisoned?

"Yeah, but Natori's father doesn't seem to kill anybody, does he?

"It was in the nomination letter that I got from Honey, whether it's life or death.Alisa's murder here won't reduce the rewards for Natalie and the others!You mean all you can kill!

I look in trouble and put the spoon back in the stew.

"Eh, but... that's not true, Rajika?

Speak to the radiator next to May, but the radiator also shakes his neck sideways.Radhika also does not have hands on the dishes.

Natori's father, who watched us like that, called out.

"If you're so worried, would you trade meals with us?

Listening to that, Natori slaps his desk.

"Dad! You didn't poison your meal!?Sleeping pills? If we're gonna hit these guys, we're gonna have to do it now!Dad... "

"Replace your dishes with sodium."

"Ugh, Dad..."

Sodium looks down on her diet like a scrap.When I saw my father hand over the dishes to May, Natori also tended to trade his meal for the next Radica.

I started eating.I don't know if Mei and Radhika are convinced or give up, but I'll start eating.

"Alisa."

My father looks me in the eye and asks.It's rather a serious expression.

"I'm going to ask you straight away.Rumor has it that you have the same power as the Demon King, but what will you do after your exile to the Harmony Kingdom?Are you going to invade this country?

I don't care if we catch him now, Dad.

"Keep your soda quiet."

Sodium is "uu" and eats rice.I twist my neck and answer.

"Hmm... I don't know.I haven't decided yet. "

Let's not talk about the Messiah or the myth that I will destroy this country.My father answers the following question.

"Do you think this country has a future?

That question also stops Mae and Radhika from eating."What are you suddenly saying, Dad?"I noticed that the air was getting heavier here, except for Soso and me.

"Um... I thought it was a while ago, but while I was traveling, I didn't know."

I answer honestly.

"While I was traveling, I saw a lot of people and towns.Everyone suffered from the king's tyranny.Some people had to close their shops, and others made the worst choices.I had met the king in person, but the king enjoyed killing people like entertainment.I have heard that all the kings and ministers around the king are bad people.I'm not sure I can live in this country. "

"That's a lie!

Sodium rises.

"The King is a wonderful man who puts the Natori people first and respects benevolence!In fact, even Estik was able to live free of any inconvenience!What kind of tyranny is that?Stop insulting the king!

Sit down, Natori.

My father looks at sodium next.

"Look, Nat.Actually, my dads hate the kingdom. "

"Nhh!?

With an unexpected attack from a family member, Natori rounds his eyes.

"Sori may not have known because she went to school, but a lot of money and workers are passing through this gate.All from Giff to King's Landing.Very few people have returned from King's Landing. "

"You just don't like living in King's Landing and come back, do you?

"No, everyone hated going to King's Landing.They all die like unpaid slaves, like garbage.I doubted my eyes the first time I heard that.There were many small children among them.I had a kid the same age as Nat.They all died in King's Landing. "

‥ ‥ ‥ ‥

"I resent the King while feeling helpless that I can't protect them.Previously, kings did not build luxurious palaces or buildings in the King's City.What about now?Countless people are dying for the king's luxury.I don't want those people going through this gate anymore. "

"But, no, because all Estik's people seemed happy, and Estik didn't hear anything like that.How do you explain that?

Huh...

Father stood up and took a piece of paper out of the jar on the wall of the room and gave it to Natori.

"Nat. The whole country's economy could tilt if we crush a big city like Estik, so it's almost impossible to collect from such a city on an exceptional basis.It seems that the tax rate has certainly risen.The paper came from the bureau when Dads applied for residency from Giff to Estik. "

"..."

"Estik is severely restricted from migrating from other cities in exchange for special treatment.Doesn't it tell you that the King doesn't think about the people?I don't need permission to just enter the school dormitory.At least I wanted Natori to have a happy girl's life.That's why I chose Estik's school instead of a local gift. "

Soda is trembling as she reads the paper.

"Look, Nat.I don't want to say this either.But what Natori saw in Estik was a fantasy.Some privileged classes were showing soaring joyful dreams.Well, there's one more thing I'd like to give Natori. "

That said, my father takes another one out of the soda and hands it over to the soda, so as to chase the soda, and then returns to the chair.

"Hey, this is..."

As soon as she saw the paper, Natori raised her voice and shed tears from her eyes.

"... That's a summons for Natori.Natori was called to King's Landing, just like the other workers who passed through this gate.You can tell from the name of the building you're going to.It's a state-owned luxury whorehouse.You were called only to please the king and his servants. "

"This is a lie. This is a lie."

"This came a year ago, but my dad pleaded for an exemption while I was at school.I went through it, but... soda.When you graduate from school in three years, you're destined to be a whore.This is what Natori says, doing for the country.Are you convinced?

"No, I don't believe in soda like this."

I'm shaking my neck as I shed tears.

"Nat, I don't want you to end your life as a whore after a short dream in Esteek for the next three years.It's a favor from dad.Natori will go with these people to the Harmon Kingdom. "

Say so, and now my father will point at us.

As the story goes, we were unable to move forward with a bite of food and the stew was completely cold.My mother kept on eating, but her expression was sad and she couldn't wait to hear.

"Ugh, it's all a lie." This is some kind of joke, isn't it?Say it, Dad.

Natri asks, her face swelling brightly red, but her father shakes his head silently.

"No way!!!Everybody's cheating on Natori!

Soda rips the paper apart and throws it into her stew with her hand.Then I ran out of the room.
