March 10 saw a paragraph in the battle against the Idra Empire and the Kingdom of Sidal. I was summoned by Eina to join my sister and Rhina in a room in the royal palace of the former Kingdom of Saidal.

Eina, who seemed busy doing paperwork, stops her hand, puts the others outside, and it's just the four of us.

"It's been a long time since these four talked slowly..."

Eina says in a smudged tone somewhere, but Eina, who's been busy working until just now and still has a pile of paperwork on her desk, is she really slowing down?

And I know what's in the crate in the corner of this room. Things that didn't have to be used in the end, but were prepared as the last trump card in the battle. It's a secret item shared by me and Eina.

Because it is a very noisy thing called a pathogen of fever for ten days, as far as I'm concerned, this room is extremely restless, and I honestly don't feel very slow.

But when Eina takes a sip of tea, she starts talking in a peaceful atmosphere.

"Let me report on the current situation for now, about a third of the cities in the Kingdom of Sidal that have offered to surrender are everything to the extent that they have been contacted by today. By the end of the month, all cities will probably be down (crippled). The Kingdom of Pharos made half of the six countries that existed on this continent until last year. You'll have got about 60% of the area.

The suspension of the operation and every possible protection of the elf breeding ranch, which Yoichi wanted, was also given instructions. Please wait a little longer to know the number. "

"Thank you very much for that. Nice to meet you"

60% of the continent... I don't really feel it, but it's amazing when they say it again. Mainly Mr. Eina.

If you think so, the person at the time hardens the tone and utters the words.

"Yoichi, by the way. Are you unwilling to assume the next king of the kingdom of Pharos with a meritorious track record in this battle?

"Blah!"

I was alarmed, so I would blow the tea I was mouthing.

My sister rushes to wipe me with a handkerchief...... talk about it again?

"Kung fu is the most accomplished person in this battle, isn't it, Eina?

Or was it almost a private arena?

The real soldiers were losing confidence.

"I don't think so, do I? This victory was provided by Yoichi. With balloons and gliders, you wouldn't have done the same without me, but without Western knowledge, we wouldn't have won this one. It would have been destroyed in Grand Duke Faros by now, or at best allowed to exist as a small principality on the border. I don't think I need to even think about which merit is better, etc.?

…………

Wouldn't you?

True, the knowledge I provided was helpful, but it was also practical and operational, and I don't think I would have thought of a reverse invasion of the Idra Empire and the Kingdom of Sidal if it wasn't for Eina.

I don't care what you think Eina accomplished, including the modus operandi that quickly attacked and destroyed both countries...

But I hear Eina's thinking differently. With a serious look on his face, he presses for a decision as he stares at me.

"How about that? If you wish, of course, I will be Minister of the Interior and Minister of Finance, and I will help you with your hands and feet. If you wish to destroy the other three countries and keep all the continents in your hands, we will do everything we can to help you."

"No, no, I don't have that ambition."

What the hell does Mr. Eina think of me as?

I mean, you're not the prime minister when you say you're going to be limbs. How deeply rooted are you still dragging that trauma...

Moving her gaze to the side with that in mind, when she saw the person who planted the trauma, Rhina either recognized that it was not a story she would be involved in, or she stood still meditating (clapping) on her eyes.

My sister on the other side is similar and enjoys tea without interest. Rescue is unlikely to be obtained.

"Er... Isn't the king better suited to Mr. Eina?

"I don't know what to say to myself, but I'm not the right man for the throne."

…………

I want you to stop saying that in a natural way. You almost said 'oh, I see' for a second.

Eina likes Listella and King Pharos, who cares, but I don't know because she's the type of person most people would be afraid of...... to be honest, I'm a little scared too.

"If I said it in popularity, I don't think I have either?

"Yoichi just won't be known because he hasn't been on the table before. If this battle feats and then scolds me in front of a large crowd after making me my subordinate minister, and shows me even in the sight of mysteriously kneeling, most people will put both a glance and a second."

What's scary about it?

That would give me a glimpse, but I'm not sure I can play that. Absolute facial cramps.

Yeah, I knew you couldn't think of anything.

"... I'm sorry, but I'd still prefer not to be in the direction of not being on the table"

"Really... half the continent already in hand. Still putting all future continents on the negotiating table is not enough to attract Western interest…"

Oh, I feel like there's some grand misunderstanding again. I simply don't want to be in a dangerous position to be targeted for my life.

"No, I just want to relax in the country."

"After you've served something... right?

"As it were, well, right. I wish Mr. Elves could live safely."

"I think taking the throne that dominates half the continent will go a long way towards achieving that end?

…………

Well, you're not lying, but it's like I'm hiding something.

After Aina turns her gaze to me like she's going to explore, she takes a small breath and utters her words.

"I'm not going to pursue it because I don't want to be forced to explore it and buy Western discomfort, but if you think about directing an elf and destroying a human being, then I would greatly appreciate it if just me and your sister could help."

"Huh? No, no, he said he didn't think about it!

I mean, Eina, did you suspect that? That makes me king and tries to keep me on the human side.

It's a completely unmistakable misconception, but just desperately overlapping the words of denial here won't clear your suspicions and......

I'm confused, and Eina asks me with her gaze.

"... Are you sure you believe that word?

"Of course it is. Why don't we make it a pledge and leave it?

"Is that a pledge… A merchant's listy would say that credit is a very heavy thing, but unfortunately I cannot believe so strongly in the promises written on paper. If you string history together, it's sometimes as light as a piece of paper."

Rhina reacted pickly to that word and Eina freaked out, but this would make Eina right.

I also know of practical examples of neutrality and inviolability treaties that were easily broken in the history of the original world.

"So is there any other way you can trust me? Except to be king."

"Right...... now, please add me to your Western subordination"

"............ what?

To my sudden offer, my thoughts stopped for a moment...
