Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru

"Hmm... I see"

"Well, that's why... the report was delayed, but you did your job right, Zawan?

"Don't lick your hero!

"It's weird. Well... so?

There were five of them male and female in one of the rooms of Nieberg Castle.

It is Byrne, Alice, Zawan, Nieberg Chancellor Delf, and King Adeed of Nieberg.

Zawan had been asked via Byrne to do an investigation by Nieberg.

It means infiltrating a rare place where no one is currently allowed to enter or leave the country, and exploring its insights.

After that, I was going to tea-turn with Byrne and the others to have a look at the King, but I get word from Lord that Levy was captured at that time.

Byrne suppressed his own urge to go, contacted Zwed who said he was going near Celtic and gave instructions to go to Zawan as well.

Byrne then saw King Teeturn with Alice and arrived in Nieberg a few days ago.

After returning from Inhelm to Celtic, Zawan took a few days off before running to Nieberg.

"Sounds like they're conscripted regardless of age, and there was a confiscation of the property they called taxation... it was a painful misery for a hero to watch...!

"According to Lady Zawan's report… the country is in turmoil and the people seem to be in considerable distress. Soon they developed to a state of war, and by the time they realized it, they seemed to be in their current state. The upper echelons absorbed one tea-turn nation after the other without any problem, and now the rare is better for war. Rae, who had a policy of loving the people, turned around, suddenly transformed into a war nation and began to take everything away from the people..."

Adid, who received a supplement from Delf, held his head.

Matters relating to incompetence learned from reports from Byrne, as well as temple relations, Titanomachia, Dragon tribes and brave men, are still piles of problems.

Even for the Demon Nation, it's not all just that the Demon King is gone yet.

Besides, the fact that there must not be a war between humans was bothering Adid more than anything now.

"Shit... a slice of gold is a slice of edge..."

"Oh, maybe. Originally, Teetern and his kingdom were bonded with gold. There is no doubt that Teeturn was in financial difficulty and, at its instigation, his country was also in a tough situation. So Rae publicized the covenant she had made with Tea Turn, and taught her that she didn't even have to go through her in-laws to acquire her country one after the other. Only ancient ginseng around the country to the west is on the tee turn now. Around Rare to the east, of course, more than half have already been swallowed up"

In response to Byrne's words, Adeed punches his tongue again with a face like he chewed up a bitter bug.

There are currently no direct clashes between the Tea Turn and Rare armies, but skirmishes between their respective countries were frequent.

I want to avoid the war somehow. Teeturn asked Olympus and Celtic for help and tried to set up a place to have discussions in those four countries, but Rae totally refuses to do so.

He told the visiting Olympus messenger, "If you don't want to go to war, you'll have to turn into Rare's slave."

The only reason Nieberg didn't have a voice was because Adid and King Teeturn weren't very friendly.

But Adeed decided that it was not a case of war between humans, and he was moving to stop it independently.

"Hey Byrne, what happened to your tee turn?

"Oh, the country was havoc...... the people were all frightened. Looks like King Teeturn met me because I knew him personally, and he's supposed to keep me from seeing anyone. So, things are pretty serious. They've tried to discuss it many times, but Rae doesn't seem to have any ears to listen to. Rae always replied the same," Choose between perishing or obeying. "Obeying the cause doesn't mean being a country. It means be a complete slave."

"There is no way of coexistence...... and. Tea turns had increased their territory with gold and allowed their countries to breathe sweet juice as well. So with some skirmishes, we have continued to reign as a powerful nation without any particular major wars..."

Byrne replies with his arms around Adeed, who talks as he squeaks with his elbows attached.

"Maybe Rae foresaw it so far. The tea-turn, which relies on the uncertainty of underground resources, eventually recedes... so it did not become a nation and waited for the power to accumulate. To set it up at the best possible time."

"You Rare King... you told me a few years ago that you were against war... is that it was all a lie!

"Or I wonder if something is pulling the thread behind it..."

Adeed frowns at Byrne's words.

"... what do you mean? Are you trying to tell me that this guy who created the concept of incompetence is involved?

"No, I don't think that matters... in short, what I'm trying to say is that Rae's motive for taking action is unclear. It's kind of childish to start a war simply because you want to be a big country. If you just want to be a big country in the first place, you've already accomplished your purpose, and there's no point in doing it until you take the risk on purpose. There's a grudge line, but you don't even hear about Rae resenting Teeturn, do you? Besides, it's unnatural that Rae's policies have changed 180 degrees. Of course, it could have been all bluff."

"Well... that's right..."

"So we need to figure out why we're trying to wage war. This war won't stop. Anyway, we need to make sure King Rae is sincere."

"Hmm..."

"Olympus and Celtic will not help in the war, even if they cooperate in the discussion. It's only a matter of tee turns and rarity. Rae is strong because she knows that. Or you think you don't mind collectively dealing with them... but in any case, a lot of lives will be lost by the time the tee turns raise the white flag. That's not all...... if this war goes on, there could be countries out there complaining about force like rare all over Valhalla, and the Titanomachia and Dragon tribes would move in multiplying that war. Before Valhalla is swallowed up by the war... we have to stop it at all costs"

Adeed leans on his back, meditates his eyes and arms together.

After a brief silence, Adeed slowly opened his eyes.

"The concubine" Straw "also moves herself... let's just say we go from the most trustworthy Celtic King. Delf, get Viper."

"Heh, Your Majesty no way...... directly!?

"You want me to finish this important story with a demon stone...?

Delf hastily left the room behind Adid, who was incredibly vocal from the look of the young girl.

Yes, Adid-Stratos-Nieberg is the king of women.

Nieberg has a decision to make his first child king for generations, and even if a woman is born, that will not change.

And there is no title of queen, and he will always be raised as king.

Because she looks like a young girl, but her real age is far above that of Celtic King Orlando.

It comes from her skills, but she herself thinks it's a curse.

"Byrne, Zawan, Alice, go to Rare again. Now look into the government and the king himself, not the state of the country. Figure out the motive for what happened. Concubine" Straw "moves with concubine" Straw ". We can't move the country yet... we have to do it alone"

"Okay. I'll be there when I'm ready."

"Well... I also have to see Olympus' Azhu. I didn't want to see him twice a year, but I can't help it. You'll be able to buy time for a while... somehow in the meantime"

"I don't know... do I have to"

There was disturbing air in Valhalla.

That's a sad spark in the name of a war that hasn't been around for a long time.

After all, Byrne and the others decided to leave the room behind.

――――――――――――――――――――――

Armenia, the land of dragon hunting.

Mid-sized country located in southwestern Valhalla.

It is a country with many dragons flying in from its proximity to Dragon Nation Dragonia and advances in dragon hunting technology.

Dragon material underpinned the country's finances, and it was the subject of a special policy that favoured adventurers specializing in dragon hunting.

There is also another face in this country that has emerged in the last few years.

Rather than that, I might be right to say that this is the king's personal hobby.

――――――――――――――――――――――

"I don't care about that! You haven't found a new incompetence yet!

"Ha... I was wondering if there would be any incompetence in this country at the earliest"

"Shit......! It is regrettable that I have killed too much momentum. I still have one... I'm still uncomfortable without two!

Xandy-Wond-Armenia, King of Armenia.

He was a biological sadist.

The position of king. I have hidden it, but a few years ago, because an incompetent woman committed murder in Armenia, he realizes the convenience of being incompetent that no one can blame.

Yes... he used incompetence as a gag of pleasure.
