"... what are you afraid of?
"It's on this encounter. Duke, which one of you said something about what?
"It's about having a different species. Unlike yours, the empire is occupied by people. Well, there are beasts, and there are subhumans, but they are close to slaves in the empire. somewhat less problematic even if swarmed"
Empires vary, too, but people supremacy dominates. I've heard that the closer you are to the Holy Kingdoms and religious states, the more so.
"It's a dream story of coexistence and co-prosperity."
"In the Empire, yeah. I don't know, your place is crazy."
"If coexistence and co-prosperity are unusual, I'm unusual."
You can be abnormal enough to accept such fucking common sense. I am a long-time co-prosperous.
"Hey, Dad. Isn't that the same thing about Bei and Father's fear?
"It's a big problem."
"Right, right. I'm worried that the Mermaid will put my territory in danger. Besides, it's the hardest part of being made fun of by other people"
I'm not sure. Lady Callet. Well, to eleven or two girls, you don't know politics or fences.
"Interracial wars suck."
"Until one of them perishes. It's not funny just watching the Devil's World."
That's where I've been fighting inter-racial wars for thousands of years. You can't imagine how miserable that is. The Mita you've been through is staring at you.
"Bae, what do you think?
"Mermaids rule the water. No, isn't that right? Mm-hmm. Mermaids are creatures that live with water and cannot live without it. So water magic is extinguishing and powerful. Come on, what happens if a species like that can travel between water and water?
No, I don't know if it's such a metastatic magic yet, but if I had the power to connect the lake to the lake, and if I could manipulate the groundwater, I'd just be relieved to think about it.
"And this mermaid's civilized culture is high. I can tell just by looking at the making of this leather armor, and I can tell from the answer to it with me. This is not born without numbers."
Well, I don't know about some people, but at least 10,000 units, I think.
"Such a race is nearby. Whatever I put down, we'll get along."
There's no harm in getting along first. I don't have a hard time with water.
"... you're getting more and more troublesome..."
I guess I can understand the troubles just because I've known and interacted with other races. But it's more and more convenient if I tell you so.
"Duke, what are you going to do?
This is an empire, the Duke, which governs the territory. I don't deserve to say this. Well, I wouldn't be stingy if asked.
"Honestly, I wish I could do something I didn't see"
I know it well in the mood. It's like an alien appeared in a previous life. Corresponding officials and governments will be in disarray.
"If that's what you want to do, that's fine. Fortunately, this mermaid is the only one who showed up. Falsify the people for some good reason and ask this mermaid to go somewhere. Same day as yesterday."
"And is it och that mermaids show up in the big army and territorial mayhem? It's the worst choice."
Well, I showed you the worst choice, too.
"Please, bei. Lend me your wisdom. I can't think of anything."
Head down, Duke. Which. I'm surprised to see that, Lady Callet. That's a rare sight you can only see on Viblast territory.
That would disqualify you as a lord, it's easy to say. But it is also wisdom and wise judgment as a ruler. It's something you can't do without such a strong will to judge for yourself and make your own decisions. Besides, there are tens of thousands of inhabitants living behind it.
"And I was given a choice. It's Mr. Hammy."
I spoke to Mr. Dirty, who closes his lid.
By the way, we can't leave as patients, so we make a roof out of dirt magic and make it a comfortable space.
"... had you noticed..."
"I don't know. I don't think he lived peacefully enough to sleep surrounded by races."
I would sleep fine, but I don't know if I'm an enemy or an ally in this situation. You'll be the one who wants to gather some information.
"You understand from the flow of the story that the man there is the ruler here?
"Oh. I found myself in quite a position. From my common sense, it's a pretty light gesture..."
"That's the proof of a man who can."
That's why you make me want to help this man.
"Mr. Hammy, what do you want to do now?
The Duke said what was going on, but that's something you can tell Mr. Hammy if you return the back.
Maybe the Hammies have also spent time without touching any other species. If I had, I wouldn't be more alert.
Well, Mr. Hammy is going to be hiding it, but don't think about me, it feels high performance. Don't think you can fake it to that extent.
If you haven't touched any other species at all, I think it's pretty conservative thinking. Then it would be fine if we penetrated each other's non-interference, but if one of us broke into life, that would be the pretext for aggression.
"This is my casual imagination, a delicate delusion. If it's off, you can laugh it off. I don't mind if you certify me as an asshole."
Watch this one now. Return to Mr. Hammy.
"The space Mr. Hammy lives in, no, should I call it a country? Aren't you trying to get your limits on self-sufficiency?
I don't know what the scale is there, but in a closed space, there's bound to be limits. Problem as a species. Resource issues. Population issues. Food issues. I get so many problems that I don't have a cut if you name it.
"When the limits come, there are two actions you can take. Doom as is, or seek new heavens and earth."
Come on, Mr. Hammy. Which one are you?
