You've made another dangerous bet, haven't you?
"Was it so dangerous to have Arondal on your side?" What would Oliva have done? "
"What would you have done if I were you?" It's hard, but a dangerous bet is more about dealing with the country of Eeris than about taking Lord Arondal as an ally. ”
"A trip to the country of Ellis? Is it the first thing you want to do in diplomacy?"
“Yes, or did you forget? It was my fault that the Glugalia and the Orient were at war. Lord Hale Medium of Glugalia attacked Lord Alphonse with a grudge against the murder of his real son. The battle has begun in retaliation. If so, this may be the case in the Ellis country. The fact that you defeated three of the Ten Swordsmen means that some people resent it."
"I see. I was hoping to get some confusion by defeating the three swordsmen, but I don't know what to do with my resentment." I guess that's true when I'm told. I wonder if the guy who went to diplomacy is okay? "
"Well, what do you say?" However, if you are responsible for diplomacy, you will understand the dangers before you go. I am aware of that. I hope that Mr. Alphonse will respond appropriately to the success of his diplomacy towards Elysian countries. ”
After returning from the interception of the Iris Army, I was talking to Oliva at the Grouse River base.
Instead of pushing back the Iris army, which had appeared as reinforcements to the Glugalia Nation, Oliva had heard of the plan to tailor one of the Ten Swordsmen as an ally to another, but he immediately understood how dangerous it was.
Maybe Oliva was right.
Resentment is a big thing.
Even so, human life is heavy.
We don't know what kind of people the Ten Swordsmen who fought Ian were, but there were people who cared about them, and there were people who cared about them.
There's no way those people wouldn't hate us.
At least those in the faction to which they belonged would be willing to slap the Orient.
However, the question would be how far the faction's momentum would go if the active Ten Swordsmen were no longer armed.
I wish I could use those factions and those that are inherently hostile to manipulate the Elysian Nation, but that depends on diplomats.
If such a difficult diplomacy succeeds, the diplomat who has done the job should be rewarded properly.
When I heard Oliva's words, I had something to think about.
Because I didn't think so deeply about it.
I just wanted to make the most of it because I told you that the opponent I defeated on the battlefield would work for me.
Diplomacy towards the Ellis nation is good and profitable, so I thought it would be good if I failed.
Therefore, I had no idea how the diplomat would feel and be prepared to go to Elysian country.
But I'm sure Oliva is right.
We need to reward them properly.
No matter what, even if you fail a little, you may need to be thankful.
If we keep the hostiles out of danger, there may be no one in the Orient who can go to diplomacy in the future.
If that happens, I'll be in trouble.
"Oliva is right." I'm glad you gave me some advice. "
“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But I'm glad you
But, I guess Ai doesn't really understand that judgment.
"Eye, do you need a Speaker?
"That's right. I probably won't respond to that kind of mood or readiness." But that's what you need, isn't it? If you don't mind, Oliva could use your help with that. After discussing with Banage-sama on the magic communicator, can you think about what kind of reward you should offer to the diplomat who accomplished the work of turning the country over to Elys? "
“Do you want me? Okay, let me think about what I would like to do while I'm overtaking you.”
If Ai does his job under the conditions normally offered in advance, he'll be able to just give out the established reward.
However, it may be better to consider the future and apply a little colour.
You know better than Oliva who was originally working under the banana.
In Oliva's opinion afterwards, how about giving him an appreciation of the Church of Barca?
Diplomatic efforts to bring adversaries to their side are in some ways comparable to defeating enemy armies and gaining a country.
Rather, they were supposed to increase their strength without fighting.
However, it is better to raise the status rather than just hand over the money, but you may also have trouble promising too expensive a position later on.
Then perhaps we should give him an evaluation within the Church of Barca.
Oliva read that now you can lend money in the S evaluation, for example, if you give it to the B evaluation, you will continue to work for the Barca church or the Orient country.
It may be a pretty good idea.
In the meantime, after hearing Oliva's opinions, Ai and I decided to inspire the people who were going to diplomacy by telling them that their reputation for accomplishing work would improve.
