"When is an election?"
It's spring this year.
"Oh, yeah. Before or after the Vulcan mercenary regiment's military exercises?"
"Of course, the military exercises should have been planned earlier. The election will follow."
Ask Oliver for a treat at the Banaj Mansion.
It seems that the election will take place in the spring.
Perhaps the election had something to do with the decision to conduct military exercises.
Prior to the spring elections, mercenary groups with deep ties to Banaj will show themselves fighting in front of the people to prove their power and leadership.
I thought it might lead to a banana vote if we did well.
"That might be the intention.Normally, there is only a city of mercenaries, and it is impossible for a mercenary group to carry out mock fights near an urban state.I've heard that Congressman Banaj persuaded Congress quite a bit to make it happen. "
When I asked Oliver to confirm my thoughts, it seemed like that.
Somehow, Banaj seems to be using the Vulcan mercenaries well.
But that's not bad.
Otherwise, we may find it difficult to move.
But it's not like I don't have anything to think about.
I've always thought that the presence of the Vulcan mercenary regiment is too dependent on the presence of the banaj.
That's fine as long as it's going well, but what happens if Banaj dies or falls in the election?
I also feel that it will be a lot of trouble if I lose my hand with Congress.
"What does Oliver think about that?"
"Yes, Alphonse certainly has a close relationship with Congressman Banaj, and it would be very difficult if that connection were to end.That would be a loss to Orient Country.There is also the possibility that a good mercenary regiment will flow around. "
"I see. Maybe we should think about the future and get in touch with other senators."
"That may be true, but there are other ways."
"Oh, is that so? How?"
"Become a senator yourself, or push someone to give their opinion to the senator.Either way. "
"... on your own? Can you be?"
"Tell me, but I can't.Alphonse was nine this year, wasn't he?I don't have the age to run for parliament. "
"What, so you're just gonna have to put someone on the council instead of me?"
"Yes, it will."
"Hmm. By the way, isn't Oliver going to be a senator?"
"Am I? I'd like to be a senator eventually, but not yet.I learn a lot from Senator Banaj. "
I see.
I mean, does Oliver really want to be a senator?
Maybe they're after Banaj when he's no longer a congressman.
Leave that aside, and I wonder if there will be any relationship with other senators.
It's not bad.
But I think it's subtle that there are senators who value me as much as the banaj I met with my brother Ars.
Then it would be helpful if someone who would reflect my opinions became a senator, but who would be such a convenient person?
"Hey, Oliver, can anyone run for senate if they're adults?"
"Yes, but there are conditions for running.Candidates must have first-class citizenship, and must then gather a certain number of nominees before applying, and must pay the prescribed amount to the Electoral Commission at the time of the candidature. "
"Is that all?"
"That's it? That's basically it."
"Well, then, there are no such conditions as men only, right?Can a woman run for office and become a senator? "
"Of course, you don't have to be a man to make a point.Are you thinking of getting someone to run for office? "
"Yeah, I think that might be good."
A senator who moves for the Balkan mercenary regiment.
I want to secure it outside of the banana.
In order to do this, the idea is to put forward a candidate that I would recommend to the council.
I heard that and checked the terms.
As a result, there was an unexpected candidate.
Laura.
Laura, who had originally worked as a luxury prostitute in the city state, also had first-class citizenship rights.
And I hear it was quite famous among prostitutes.
If you're a famous luxury whore, it's no wonder you know someone quite formal.
If Laura were to run, would she be able to collect some votes?
I would like you to give your opinion on behalf of the Balkan mercenary regiment, but it may be good for another reason.
For example, if you can get votes from people who don't have anything to do with Barca, such as better treatment of prostitutes in this country, is there any chance that you will receive them?
I don't know.
I don't know at all because I've never held an election.
But I'm not going to die if I don't win.
In the meantime, let me just ask you if you want to come out once.
I don't know how many nominees I need, but all the women who come to us are first-class citizens, and if there are about a hundred nominees, I think I can run for office.
I'll pay for it.
As a result of my thoughts during the discussion with Oliver, I decided to make Laura a senator.
