My sister and I moved around the world until I unified the continent to protect my sister.

Five days after the battle to destroy the Idra Imperial Army, October 18.

The enemy commander who fled to the King's capital fled with a few soldiers to the Idra Empire, and we were able to enter the King's capital without a fight.

The day I entered the King's Capital. Main Street was flooded with residents delighted with liberation, shouting praiseworthy words to Grand Duke Pharos.

The Grand Duke entered the royal castle and, at the same time as the victory of the battle, declared the founding of a new country, the Kingdom of Pharos.

In the north and west, only a few remaining Idra Empire garrisons surrender one after the other, while in the south the Grand Duke's subordinate lords continue to pursue the remnants of the Royal Sidhar Army.

Ellis, the Adventurer Guild, also showed up safe and healthy, and was tenacious that he was to be appointed Adventurer Guild Manager for the new kingdom to revive the guild that had been dismantled during the occupation.

Apparently, my warning I gave just before the invasion of the Idra Imperial Army helped, and they succeeded in concealing (as it were) Alliance funds and materials, and regardless of the suburban branch that burned, the organization itself seems to be able to revive early. Seems useful more than anything.

Mr. Listella is working on rebuilding the business quickly, and our King's Capital home was somewhat dirty and safe.

My sister strained and cleaned, and now she is completely back to normal.

I really wanted to rush to the mine right away, but the northeast, close to the border with the Idra Empire, is still insecure, and more importantly, we need to follow the food procurement steps.

Anyway, I was able to send a message to make sure everyone was safe, so whatever it is, I'm relieved.

While all that seemed to be going well, it was on October 25th that Eina, who gave a serious expression, took the time to tell me that she needed to talk...

It's been a long time since me and my sister, Rhina and Eina, joined Wang Du's house.

Even though Eina seemed pretty busy being the new kingdom's finance minister, how dare she bother to get here?

By the way, Mr. Eina, I was actually begged 'by the Chancellor', but that was all I had to say and say no.

It's so unusual, I remember being badly confused except for us on the spot.

Trauma when Rhina pissed me off, you haven't healed yet......

Anyway, for the first time in a long time, I had dinner where my sister waved me her arm, and where the tea was handed out, Eina cuts out the story.

"Yoichi. I am also thinking tomorrow of proposing a reverse invasion of the Idra Empire and the Kingdom of Sidal against His Majesty King Pharos, can you agree?

"Huh..."

Out of Mr. Eina's mouth were shocking words.

They say they have defeated the enemies they have attacked, but they want to continue the war even further.

Honestly, it's not a very agreeable story.

You saw my expression, Eina starts telling me more about the story.

"The enemy forces that have invaded us have repelled, but both the Idra Empire Sidal kingdom are still alive and well. The Idra Empire and I have been friends of the dog monkeys since the time of the old Markham kingdom, and the Cydal kingdom has become hostile about this. Now if you seek peace, both countries will respond, but that won't last long."

"Isn't that... something you can manage in diplomatic negotiations?

"... Yoichi is odd and optimistic. War is the other side. No matter how concessional and peaceful this is, it's inevitable if they want war. Even if you offer to be a nation, if your opponent wants more direct control, or that's 'clear up the humiliation of the war ahead!' But if you say it out, you'll be attacked. Have you forgotten that the Imperial Army of Idra, which approached the Grand Duke earlier in the war, has pressed for an unconditional surrender?

"... then, like before, form an alliance with the Kingdom of Siddhar to confront the Idra Empire?

"It's hard now. Many of the former southeastern nobles seem to have fled again to the Kingdom of Sidal. In addition, we have shown overwhelmingly high military power. Instead, they will see us as a greater threat and try to attack us in conjunction with the Idra Empire."

…………

"Yoichi, now the main armies of both countries are devastated. In addition, there is equipment called hot air balloons and gliders, which we overwhelmingly dominate. On the other hand, there are limits to saying that information will be kept secret. In a few years, both the Idra Empire and the Kingdom of Siddhar will be equipped with the same gear as ours, and we will be imminent in fulfilling the snowflake with a force that beats us. We are inferior to our enemies in national power, including population. Does Yoichi have the secret to leaving enemy forces again then?

The secret... If they told you to let it out, would it be gunpowder, guns and cannons? But I don't want to teach you that.

"... Oh, something seems to be happening?

Wow, Mr. Eina, that's sharp.

"No, nothing. Now that we're talking about it, we're going to be attacked and destroyed sooner or later, so we're going to attack and destroy the opponent first while this is advantageous?

"To put it bluntly, yes. If we miss now, we won't have another chance. Unless Yoichi is offering you new knowledge again."

Eina's gaze seems intriguing if she does something. Speak words to mislead it.

"Eina, can I ask you one question?

"Go ahead."

"I just said, 'I'm going to propose to His Majesty the King even tomorrow,' but how come you spoke to me before His Majesty the King?

"That's because if Yoichi disagrees, he's going to cancel the plan at that point. I'm going to be good at reading inside other people's bellies, but I still have Western sincerity. They're overweighing the hopes they're trying to fulfill. If Yoichi disagrees with this plan, if you think we need this country in the future, there's no reason for me to stick to the survival of this country."

"Oh, why not? Mr. Eina is the finance minister of the new kingdom, and if King Pharos retires in two years, isn't he the lead candidate for the next king?

"As far as I'm concerned, you don't want to do kings of countries that Yoichi deems unnecessary. Isn't that a complete poor lottery"

...... hmm? Did something weird happen to Eina about my ratings?

True, I don't need this country for my ideals, but that's because I want to live in the back of a safe forest with my sister, and I'm not denying it exists. Rather, as much as Mr. Eina would appreciate it if he were king.

"Um, Mr. Eina, don't you misunderstand me?

"As I said earlier, I cannot weigh Western sincerity. We can't even decide if it's a misunderstanding if we don't know the truth."

"No, I didn't. I'm not that big of a person to be alert to, am I?

…………

Is that it? Did you get silent with the look that Mr. Eina rarely sees?

"... I recognize that Yoichi is not someone who speaks of that kind of (tattoo) dislike, so maybe you mean it? Regardless of the others, I told them about the hot air balloon that made the biggest contribution to the win in the battle ahead and who provided the glider's knowledge. I know who was the one who provided the knowledge that was a necessity for the defense that broke the Idra Imperial Cavalry by the time it was completely skinless.

The first merit of the war ahead just because it's not on the table is Western, and this victory has not been won without Western uniformity. Originally, it is a feat that should have been given the desired status in the new kingdom. Besides, it looks like you still have some trump cards. If you think I'm incompetent enough not to worry about being like that, then don't worry about it. "

... Seriously.

I also know that Eina is the one who doesn't make jokes about this hand.

You've been doing pretty remarkable things when you think about it... I'm glad Eina represented you.

... but then I don't feel good about not getting on with Eina's plan here.

It deepens unnecessary suspicions, and if the northern part of this country were occupied by the Idra Empire in the first place, it would be harder to act in the Great Forest. It also hinders the procurement of food to mines.

Besides, in order to achieve the emancipation of all the elves, we will have to extend our forces to our neighbours, and if that is the rule by King Pharos, it is also the easiest to do.

As a place for the newly protected Marsh Elves, we also want access to the Great Wetlands in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Sidal.

"... ok. Reverse invasion of the Idra Empire and the Kingdom of Saidal, I agree with Eina's plan...... I figured you should accompany me too, right?

"It would be greatly appreciated if you could do so"

Since my company means that Rhina will accompany you, then Eina will be happy.

"Since when do you plan to start acting?

"I'll speak to His Majesty the King tomorrow, and it's better to leave soon, so three days from now. And then in five days, we're going to cross the border with the Idra Empire."

Really fast.

Nevertheless, I know it's better to be early in the sense that you don't give your enemies time to recover.

The destination is the northeast, so once we stopped at the mine, we assembled locally near the border.

A new battle is about to begin….
