Episode 215: The New Enemy

"Will this be the first time you have exchanged words with someone from the Vandrea People's Union"

It's some middle-aged guy in Vandrea who talks to me face to face, I named him, but I don't remember.

The man in front of me can't like anything, so I didn't even feel like remembering his name.

Anyway, I'd like to be in a good relationship in the future.

I guess that depends on where the story goes, but I don't think it's possible with instinct.

"But I think it would be quicker for me to go to the king's capital if I wanted to talk to the local lords, the nations."

The way you say it, if you can get away with this, that's better.

"No, it would be quicker to talk to you directly at the border this time."

Can't you get away with it?

"This is about finalizing the border."

"Borders? I think we've already decided on that?

Our territory stretched as far as the southern tip of Goldonia, which meant that the border with the former Kingdom of Triea was supposed to remain the border between the two countries.

"The border line with the Kingdom of Triea was very vague. Anyway, there was no point in specifying near the border without a busy town or important water sources."

Then why don't you keep it that way?

Nor would the kingdom grasp the fine borders of the border.

"Recent developments in border areas, however, have been remarkable. We have many villages and farmlands."

"It's..."

Adolf says something.

We didn't do it on our own, we put in the money to develop it.

"I see. So what are you guys going to do about the border?

I need to hear that first. I can't start talking.

"As far as we are concerned..."

A man draws a line on a map placed in front of him.

"It!?

I can't help but be surprised by Adolf.

The southern side of the border he drew, or the area considered to be the territory of the Vandrea People's Union, contained nearly 20 small and large towns and fewer arable lands.

They say this one draws money and effort into their territory to develop the area.

Where Tristan is building defensive positions now in the first place is also on their side.

It would be too good a bug to pass over land you can't manage on your own.

"Ha ha, no lord will shake his head vertically with this"

I take a pen and rewrite the border the man wrote.

But I don't know how to write it, so I'll just pull you south thoughtfully and the man's face will be distorted.

Shit, did I do too much... now it's near the middle of the malt, obviously distorted.

"Are you kidding me?

I was so angry at the man's voice that I felt like killing him.

"We have each other."

The atmosphere of the talks became like killing each other all at once.

But I'm not bad because they're the first ones to say that I'm impotent.

Adolf opens his mouth so that he can break between us in silence.

"If we negotiate with each other, we should be able to find a compromise. Considering the history of this development and how taxes and harvests work..."

Adolf's suggestion is certainly realistic.

If you intend to continue the negotiations, it would be best to leave them to you.

But unfortunately, this guy doesn't seem to be here to discuss detailed terms.

"That's not what our country knew. It is only natural for the folk grass that lives there to move together once the borders have been decided, as a country, we are not going to give in from the first proposal we have shown!

Look, from the beginning, this guy was going to push his own plan through.

Neither the atmosphere nor the modus operandi belong to diplomats like Yuno in the first place.

I'm not a man who can negotiate.

I'll lower Adolph back.

This is no longer a negotiation and does not seem to be the domain of the Home Secretary.

Changed and Leopold stood behind me.

"I'm not going to give in easily either. If so, we'll say we don't like each other.

You don't have to thank them for this one any more than their voices have roughed up.

Personally, it helped because it's easier to talk this way.

Then the man pulled his face closer as he put his hands on the table with a van.

You're not gonna kiss me, or I'm gonna execute you for doing that.

"Lord Hardlett... My country is a peace-loving nation that puts its people first. But it's not a country that doesn't know how to fight, and it's never gonna be a country that fears it, is it?

It's very easy to understand threats and don't worry about misunderstandings.

Adolf leaned down with a rugged face and Leopold nodded looking at this one.

I'll tell him, I know.

The intimidation of this man was also medium powerful.

I guess it's not a diplomat or something, it's a military man of war or something, there's a thick killing spree.

Rita and others who are currently serving as Adolphs and maids have contracted.

But it just doesn't make sense to me.

We've been killing each other most of the time ever since we got to the point.

Was it about the time I was in peace with Lucy?

I get my face close with the same momentum that punches a man in the head.

Of course I don't kiss or anything.

"I know war, unlike you. I never thought I was afraid."

The man twisted his neck for a moment without weighing the meaning.

Look at the acting skills brushed up in sibling games with actress Liliane.

"I simply love war. The sound of the sword shooting at each other, the screaming, the flames blowing up... I can't wait to love that kind of thing"

It's the woman who really loves you, anyway.

The man's face drops slightly and he walks forward like I'm after him.

"You're welcome to say you want to go to war. I haven't had any enemies in Goldonia lately, so I can't do it. Let's have a good kill."

Speaking of which, I feel like I'm just fighting for it myself, even though I'm at peace.

Fight and hold a woman. That's repetition.

What percentage of my life would I have left, except to fight a woman?

The nudity of the women I've been holding on my head... it makes my face laugh even though I'm in the middle of something awesome.

I manage to approach the man with a laughing face.

"Ya savage...... crazy. You know the power of our country!?

"It's barbaric, fine, I don't know if it's 100,000 or 200,000, but it doesn't have any effect on the fun of battle, such as the size of the force. No, rather, the more excited the enemy will get"

No, I can't stand it anymore if I even imagine Nonna's big tits.

I'm starting to get an erection up to my groin... please don't notice.

The man retreated and sat on the couch to collapse as he advanced further with his face on.

I also finally put my expression back on and went back to the couch for tea.

"You should drink, too."

"Yes, no, thank you."

I said I was the first messenger from the Vandrea People's Federation, so I prepared the finest tea leaves recommended by Nonna, but they cooled me down.

If you don't drink, say so from the beginning.

"It's war at last, I'm looking forward to it because I've been bored lately"

Looks like he started acting shitty up to Leopold standing behind him.

"Right, are you ready?

"There is no way to unprepar our battle. If Liberties gets involved... it'll be a big fight"

That's a rap, not at any time, by the way.

With that momentum, you can even talk about playing in bed with your girlfriend Nina.

I'm trying to find out, but I can't get my tail out.

"It's a war... my chest jumps. I guess it kills a lot, kills a lot...... great"

"Blood and brains may create a new river"

"Heh heh heh, I'm starving for blood tonight!

Leoporto also comes on a brutal act.

Celia...... maybe the line I saw in the book, but it's just hilarious, so let's not.

I stand up and put my hand on the man's shoulder.

"That's why. Tell the country to be their opponent whenever you want to have a war. The answer would be to declare war... invade territory on your own, or both?

The man grew up completely and left without even picking up the dinner he had prepared.

"Is that good enough for you?"

Ask Leoporto as he sinks his body into the couch after the negotiations.

As far as I'm concerned, I was more comfortable negotiating in vain.

"There's been a bit of overdoing, but I was wondering if you could give me a rough idea."

"But wouldn't that be an immediate war?

Leopold says it's good, but Adolf is in a hurry.

"They don't think so. If you see this one as weak, you can also think of an invasion as part of the negotiations...... it is pointless too if the war freak is the other. It was a brilliant act."

"But the force must be different? Their troop strength is over 100,000 before..."

Adolf appears to be afraid of fighting in the southern region.

I can't help it, if I get caught in a war, the development I've been doing will be attributed to ashes in an instant.

"Vandrea's total force certainly is. But not so many troops can be used for our invasion. Because the greatest threat to them is not ours, but the all-out, borderline Altair kingdom."

The Empire of Altair and the Vandrea People's Union are so conflicted that there seems to be no such thing as an understandable part, that reconciliation is unthinkable.

If Vandrea raises the Great Army north, the Altair Empire will move the Army immediately with this fortune.

"Besides... I also smelled the existence of Liberties. I don't know if they already know the arrangements with Under-Secretary Yuno... but if you do poorly, everything around you will be enemies. You will decide that there is too much danger in getting your hands on 10 or 20 village cravings"

"Goldonia alone would have been out of hand in the first place."

Goldonia has no particular enemies against Vandrea, who has a long-standing enemy called the Altair Empire.

If there is an invasion, it can be hit by all armies.

"That's where I'm a little concerned, too. Why have you been so overwhelmed?"

Celia also shakes her neck.

You seem to know a lot about it, but the acting was terrible earlier.

"Leopold, Adolph, Celia, say what you think"

Just think about it and see, and if you don't know, you can't help it.

"I simply wanted the border to be finalised. So much so that you thought it would be in your country's favor anyway?

"That's thin... then it should have been a compromise offered by Adolf"

Soggy Celia, I rush to stroke my head that I didn't blame you for anything.

"Militarily, there's no special significance in pushing the border a little north.

Leoporto says quietly.

Nina brought him tea.

I'm going to flaunt your evening deeds one day.

"If so… other factors"

Then Adolph, who had no good place today, cuts off looking at the paperwork.

"Perhaps... it's not about food?

"Food? That's a lot these days"

"The state of Vandrea's harvest and so on this year is unknown, but assuming it's pretty bad...... Altair in the west is impossible, and the great mountain range and mountain people's areas in the east are not crop and other growing environments. For example, there is only the northern malt and our territory. I'm proud to say that my concentrated development in the south has led to a considerable increase in yields to the border neighborhood."

"Hmm."

As far as I can tell... 100,000 or 200,000 lords would a nation of over a million do something like that anyway?

Besides, the wheat harvest is already over.

The arable land should only be planted with about smallholder beans and vegetables.

"On the contrary, even if they are so desperate, especially since they may be waging an extended war and undermanning may be affecting the harvest."

I see... but thinking about it, there's got to be a place I want more than the southern border where I can get my hands out of my throat.

"Yes, I've already come here to negotiate forcefully..."

"The Kingdom of Malt Celestina has received an expedition from His Majesty!!

Apparently, you don't need to think anymore.

"Leoporto, you said earlier that you were ready for war, is that true?

"Yes, the army can only react with agility."

Good for you.

It's going to move again soon.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

For the record, rare customers.

"Go ahead, lord, be sure to do it yourself"

The water bridge was finally completed today.

The water bridge draws large quantities of water from nearby ponds and supplies the entire Rafen as a water supply.

Rafen's water situation, which relied on wells and less clean rivers, would improve once and for all.

Further, the new mansion, which is nearing completion, has a small but digging for security reasons, where plenty of water is poured.

Of course, fresh water is supplied at any time in the swimming pool of nonna hope, which was the main purpose.

After autumn, it was also completed in a large pot to supply hot water that would be too cold to swim.

And now I'm hammering down the tree lid that's blocking the water exit, and it's the first time it's been released.

"Master Hardlett, please don't break the stone part."

"If Master Agil does it, it's going to break everything."

Shut up, do you want that?

Hit the tree lid with a thoughtful shake.

The wooden plate cracks with a blow, and the water erupts with momentum as if it could not wait.

"" "Oooh!!

Not just from my family and servants, but also from my husband and wife who were hitting the construction... I should have.

"Hey, what the hell!!" "Wow!" "Big Fish Bye!

Those gathered speak a voice close to screaming.

That should have happened, too, with a lot of fish popping up with the water.

The large swarm of water and fish flows into the moat of the new mansion.

"Hey...... are the lakes full of fish?

"I haven't even attached foreign body avoidance yet, so I might mix it up somewhat... however much this is"

Adolphe is also looking at a flock of fish that keeps gushing.

But you're a strangely skin-toned fish.

"I don't have a choice... do you want to bake fish and eat them all?"

"Damn!!

A woman pops up screaming from the exit where I said that.

The woman cleverly twists herself in the air and jumps, and I get dragged straight to the moat.

"Dear Eigil! Bowgun forward!!

Celia gives instructions to the escort in a hurry.

Wait, there's no danger.

That's what I say. I make the woman jump at me look up.

"Long time no see, Mirmi"

Soft body on rich chest, and lower body of fish.

I miss him, he was a mermaid of all times.

"Huh? Huh? Agil!?"

What the hell didn't you notice?

"Yeah! I recently created a weird stone aisle in the pond. When I was exploring with the kids, I was suddenly sucked in. Well... I was connected to Eigil's house."

"When I say kids, that time?

Once I helped her reproduce by sprinkling her eggs with lots of seed juice.

Mirmi holds one swimming when she has a full smile on her face.

I thought it was a fish about the size of the palm of my hand, but if I looked at it better, it was the same as Mirmi and my upper body was human.

I didn't know because it was small.

"Mom? Dad?

Can you tell by the smell, the little mermaids swim around me.

Celia's screaming up there, but it's okay, they won't eat you.

And how many are there?

"That's a lot... all of it?

"555, all your children!

Mirmi hugging me with joy, I became a big family at once.

"Dear Eigil! What are those monsters!? Reinforcements will be here soon, so bear with me until then..."

Hands on Celia screaming.

"It's okay, these guys..."

What an explanation.

"Oh, you're a woman! Snakes followed by fish!

It's quick and helpful.

Thus Mirmi and his children were able to travel back and forth through the pond and mansion moat through the water bridge.
