"... I'm tired..."

"What's wrong, sister..."

At home in Japan, Sabine called out to me, exhaling a cup of tea in one hand, looking worried.

"I'm a little tired..."

In the first place, I just wanted to live a relaxed life as a shopkeeper in a grocery store.

Well, in case the "crossing" becomes impossible and the kingdom or Japan is left behind, I want to hide enough assets for both, so I'm doing a pretty lucrative business...

But even in Japan and my homeland, people can normally buy things that are stupidly expensive in the kingdom, and if you convert the kingdom's gold coins into Japanese or homeland's money, they will take less than a quarter of the tax. In order to prepare for old age, you have to work hard to make money, so you can't help it! "

…………

"In that case, Sabine-chan's reaction is not good..."

"Sister, that's the way we think about civilians." Nobles don't have to worry about that, because they get their income from the territory.

Even if you give your child a title, you can still live a relaxed and comfortable hiding life in a separate residence.

Well, leave that alone... go on. "

"Oh, oh..."

"So, all these recent events have been about killing..."

I'm not a Battle Junkie or Shooting Junkie.

However, I don't think villains have human rights, and I don't think that the lives of filthy bandits are worth 10,000 times as much as the lives of cute girls.... "

"... oh, oh... go on."

"And yet, in this place, war and alliance stores have been attacked, killing each other and fitting them in..."

If you encourage internal affairs and business, if you play with the animals on your thighs, if you are played with by a cute girl, what is that life...? "

Something happened when Sabine suddenly reached out to me.

"... a cute girl"

"... oh, oh..."

For the time being, I clasped my hand that I had been offered.

"Well, that's why I'm a little tired..."

"Are the female protagonists tired?... I wonder if it's" Fatigue (Hiroo) In "?"

That's it!

Yes, under the influence of Colette-chan, Sabine-chan also started to play with words.

By the way, I am now at home in Japan, so I am speaking in Japanese to study Sabine.

"You've improved, Sabine's Japanese..."

"But I wonder why the case continues so long." Probably a little too much, though.... "

That's what I said, overflowing with folly... "

"Sister, this is not a series of independent events." It's all connected.

Since we defeated the first invasion from the Empire, we invaded Remia's own country, and failed to do so, so the last Empire was no longer used as a means of assassinating.

I don't know about the new continent, but the naval battles over the colonies, and the strange move of your sister's naval relations to the navy of the country where you're staying, have aroused suspicions from other countries, right?

The trouble with the partner store is that the existing large store (Odori) got stuck because the sister bought into a weak start-up merchant and gave them the right to use it, and let them exclusively sell products that would serve as weapons for the nobility and royalty...

Guys, there's a cause, and it's just progressing in sequence, you know? The seed that someone sowed just grew... "

It's not like that child detective's curse is on you everywhere you go. "

"Huh?

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah? "

I don't know!!

"Well, if you ask me, you're right..."

It doesn't happen that a series of incidents happened by chance, but all of them happened because of "valid reasons and circumstances"...

"Well, then, is it all my fault?" the war, everyone was attacked..... "

That's not true!

"... eh?"

"Without your sister, the Imperial Army would have killed a lot of soldiers and civilians in our country and subjugated our people." After that, Princess Remia's country was attacked by the invading army led by my people, and the surrounding countries were invaded one after another, right? "

"... that's true..."

If it weren't for me, it would certainly be more likely that Sabine would have done as she just said.

“And then we couldn't deal with the guns and cannons of the survey fleet from the new continent, which should have led to the arrival of a full-scale invasion fleet from the new continent…”

"That's true, but..."

"And even if some people were unhappy because they were involved with Sister, they might have been even more unhappy if Sister hadn't been involved."

Suppose there was a person who fell and broke their legs before going out to meet your sister.

But if you didn't promise to meet your sister, she might have gone somewhere else and been hit by a carriage or a bandit.

There is no 'if' or 'if' in life. It's all just the result of what I chose. "

…………

"It doesn't make sense to regret it..."

"Sabine-chan, at that age, you're very optimistic..."

Oh, of course, you don't have to regret it, but you need to reflect, and you need to learn a lesson for the next time.

It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense to think backwards.

With the information I had at that time and the strength I had at hand, I chose the option that I thought was the most appropriate at that time. It was "failed" by the new information obtained later! 'And I think it's a little different to regret it.

We will use it as a lesson next time by "reflecting" on the fact that we did not get more accurate and detailed information in advance, and that we did not prepare thoroughly with sufficient strength.

'Regret' is a backward act. Instead, you have to have a positive attitude called "reflection".

"I see... that's right..."

If I regret what I've done, I'm sorry for the people who have been so involved with me, who have died, been injured, and become unhappy. I mustn't regret my choices, my actions...

"Besides, when you fight, it's only when you're attacked and fought back, attacked and knocked back so that you don't attack again."

In the end, it leads to the early end of the war. Compared to the case where you continue to cheat without your sister, or when the city is attacked and the residents are massacred, assaulted, looted, or set on fire, there are far fewer casualties and other damage, right? The enemy and allies..... "

"Yeah..."

"If you say so, you're right..."

There would have been a war without me, and without me...

Alright, I can't help bothering you!

It's not like I'm in a fight. Let those who have sold the quarrel take the blame!

Well then, let's go to Colette!

Yeah!

All right, transfer!!
