Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

"That Maximilian made a beastly man slave...?"

"Surprising. He may be prejudiced, but he doesn't seem to hate beasts."Even if you keep it as a slave, I feel like I'm going to choose a human being. "

"... that's right."

I couldn't deny Hendrik's words.Given his personality, I thought there was a good chance he might consider the Beastman a lesser species than humans.

"But that man doesn't do anything meaningless."I'm sure he's collecting Beastman slaves to make sense. "

"I told you that because I thought so."Well, I have no idea what you're up to.

"Normally, I would use it for war..."

"With Wilhelm? I mean, to fight you?"You're kidding. You're as strong as an idiot.Everyone knows that when the opponent becomes a Beastman from a human, the result will not change.You know that, and you bother to send out a hard-to-use beastman? No. "

"... yes, that's right."

That's right, especially with Sahaja, who's been at war several times in the past.With that experience, I didn't expect to use Beastmen anymore.

"There's a shield on the front... but it's not like your opponent will be a shield either."I blew out all the shields.You can only use your shield against someone other than yourself.... oh, so you're going to war with someone other than Wilhelm? "

"... I don't think there's any other country that Sahaja seems to be targeting right now."

That's right.

With his arms crossed, Hendrik let out a sigh as he saw this coming.

That's how he laughs bitterly.

“Well, I don't even know what Sahaja meant by that. I'm sorry.”

"No, thank you. Thank you for the information."

A few days ago, that man put a word in my mouth that could be called a declaration of war.

When you get Liddy.He admitted that he had obtained the witch Giltia, who lived in Sahaja, as an ally for that purpose.

Witch Giltia and Beastman Slave.The timing is too worn.I'm sure it's not irrelevant.

"... no one wants to go to war."

Suddenly, Hendrik muttered. I nod to the words.

Yeah, that's right.

"I wonder why everyone bothers to go to war."I would definitely refuse.There's nothing fun about war. "

"I totally agree, but at least Maximilian seems different."They want to unify the continent. "

That's what Sahaja is all about.Even the late King now dreamed of becoming a champion of the continent.It's a famous story that everyone knows.

Hendrik twisted his face and put out his tongue.

“You want to be the ruler of the Heingrad continent?Wow, absolutely impossible. I'd rather be on top with money than force.I don't want to imitate it like it's bleeding. "

"It's like Irvine, the country of the merchants."

Irvine is rich enough to grow and grow in commerce.On the contrary, force is not that far away.

Hendrik is useful, but he's not as useful as the Knights of Wilhelm, and former Knight Edward, who is said to be the most powerful in the land with Princess Ofelia, is no match for our Knight Commander.There is such a difference.

But...

"Wilhelm is said to be the strongest country on the continent. If we adjust our exports a little, we will have a lot of trouble." Did you know that? "

“Yes, of course, that's why I wanted to make an agreement with Ilvane.”

Hendrik is right.

Ilvane is a country that doesn't want to be a foe in many ways.There are many things that would be troubling if we could stop the export.That's why my father ordered me to come to an agreement.It was also part of her acceptance of Princess Ofilia's studies abroad.

"I think it was really helpful not to be able to join hands with Sahaja"

That's definitely your queen's feat, though.

That's right.

There was nothing to deny, so I nodded honestly.

I only missed Ilvane because of Liddy.

Hendrik laughs mildly whether my admission made him in a better mood.

"Well, don't worry." We officially exchanged documents.Even Ophelia deposited it. Wilhelm will never have his fangs peeled off.I won't stop exporting... or anything.It's natural because you're a party to the agreement, right?Oh, and more importantly, listen to me, Freed.Ilya..... "

……

Even though I had been serious until now, I broke my hips with surprising ease.

Hendrik is happily starting to talk about his daughter-in-law's obsession.

My face almost twitched unexpectedly, but I could stand it.I can't help complaining.That's because it's a man named Hendrik.

I decided to listen to Hendrik for the rest of the day because I had valuable information, and I decided to hang out with him once in a while.However, no one said that they would stick to the listening side.I'd like to talk about my cute Lidi, too.

"Ilya is so cute..."

"Yesterday's Liddy..."

The conversation may have been successful or somewhat suspicious, but if it's over, it's all good.

We talked thoughtfully about what we wanted to talk to each other, and it was a satisfying meeting.
