"... do you mean to vote to fight Barbell thoroughly or to become a nation"

Narson was heartily surprised by the unexpected report.

I expected Barbell to be in contact with Clayrats, but I never even thought this would happen.

I had no idea that we would entrust the fate of the country to every single one of our people, not to the military or the parliament.

"Do you have any idea what the results are going to be? Go ahead."

'I have no idea. It is now at the previous stage of the vote and the current situation has been explained to all citizens. The voting begins in three days. In a place called "Square of Rights" in each city, it seems to vote with white or black stones in the pot. The same thing takes place simultaneously in all five cities. Go ahead.'

"Three days from now? We won't be able to communicate the outcome of the battle in this fort in time."

Narson snaps regrettably.

If Arcadia can convey the result of taking the fort back from Barbell, public opinion could lean heavily towards maintaining the alliance.

But it is not in time for the polls to begin, no matter how hastily, that the polls will begin in three days' time.

The story of Arcadia being deprived of the fort and standing in distress should also have been communicated to the Clairazzi people in a pre-ballot explanation.

Knowing that, will they put their vote in maintaining the alliance?

"... the nearest lion may make it before the critical end of the vote. Keep me a messenger on the fast horse. Go ahead."

"Yes, I did. We can't make it to the other four cities, okay? Go ahead."

"Mm-hmm. I don't know what else to do. Just send a messenger to Lion. Go ahead."

In the exchange between the Narsons, Ichigo gave a slight face.

Barletta, who was next door, notices it in the atmosphere and looks up at it.

"Mr. Kazra, what's wrong?

"No... if it's a bike or an automobile, I thought I'd made it"

"A bike or an automobile...... it's a faster running vehicle than a rata, right?

"Yeah, I think a small car with one passenger can get through that aisle in width. A motorcycle can definitely get through, so I should have brought it with me if this was the case."

The cobblestone passage that connects to Japan has only about two doors wide at the entrance and exit while there are bends along the way.

However, I can't get through a normal size automobile, but I can get through enough small automobiles like the ones used in convenience store delivery.

If I had it at hand now, I might have been able to run all night and pass on the news of the fort recapture to all the cities of Clayrats.

Of course, in that case, it would be quite likely that someone would see the vehicle you used to travel.

"Right...... Um, maybe next time you go back to Japan you'll bring it?

"Yeah, I'm going to bring it. From now on, you may need to contact the King's Capital and other territories."

"Kazra, is that, like the agricultural hauling car that you keep in the village of Grisea?

Liese, who was beside me, joined the conversation.

Zirconia looks intrigued and sees the best.

"Oh, yeah. It's a much faster ride than that."

"Pretty fast, how fast?

"I wonder if it's fast enough to travel from the village of Grisea to Isteria in less than half an hour (about an hour)"

"" What!?

Surprising voices rise from Reese and Zirconia.

Narson, who was talking to Ixios, also stopped talking and looked good with a slight face.

"So now that we're here, we can reach Clayrats in time. If we had more than one, we could have reached all the cities."

"Yes, you sure are. If you have such a ride, you may have made it."

"But then I think we should put radios everywhere. We can get the villagers to help us, and from now on, why don't we build radio bases everywhere?"

Block Reese's words, Baretta suggests.

As for her, I want to avoid doing anything that would be dangerous to the best of her ability.

I can see that as a good thing, but I can't say that in the current state of affairs.

I thought the introduction of gunpowder weapons and crossbows would do enough, but I don't think so.

Even if the Clayrats may betray us, it is impossible to lead the army into Barbell.

"Wireless base is a good idea. We'll do that soon."

"Yes... Oh, you know, automobiles and motorcycles..."

"I'll bring that too. If you decide to contact each region, you may need a signed letter from Mr. Narson to have that information believed. Wireless communication doesn't allow you to move things."

"... ok"

To be perfectly clear, Barletta nods with a slightly darker face.

Ichigo turned his face to Narson.

"Mr. Narson, for the convenience of using prominent tools such as automobiles, we should tell the martial artists and civilians who were the main ones that Graciole is helping the Istails. There are no ex-children or ex-children to cause confusion when you actually use them."

"... no, I think we should wait a while now"

"What?"

One good voice shouts surprise at Narson's unexpected response.

Other faces saw Nalson with a uniformly surprising face.

"If we are to inform, we should only make the lords of each territory, and the upper echelons such as the royal family,"

"Uh... how could that be?

"Because the battlefield is too delicate a time. Besides, rumors that Lord Kazra is like Gracior have already spread too much around the cavalry. Now it's dangerous to make it public, even though it's just the martial officers and the civilians."

"Are you saying that if you explain that you have Graciole's cooperation, it will still mean that he was?

"Yes, in that case, we may kill Lord Kazra or abduct him and turn him into a souvenir, and there may be some who think about fleeing to Barbell."

"… all the more so if the result of Clayratz's vote were to yield to Barbell"

"Exactly. Everyone, in the battle up to five years ago, the severity of the war against Barbell is stained with bones. I wouldn't think of winning against Barbell and Clayrats first. I do think that if I ask Lord Kazra to put it up and advertise it aloud as Master Graciol, it will also raise morale and make unity stronger..."

"If something happens to me afterwards, does that mean it'll disintegrate all at once?"

"Yes."

If the story spread that Yi Liang is Graciol, and you reveal a public secret, or a good existence.

Naturally, exposing the steeple is the same, and that leads directly to the danger of a good person.

As a result, if Ichigo were abducted or killed, some would despair and some would wonder whether it was propaganda by the Istel family.

Because you would think that the existence of God could not be so easily abducted or murdered.

I hope everyone thinks so and thinks there's no way they can kill God.

But it's no surprise that some of those who see a good life in the Narson Mansion just like a normal human being think it's very different from a normal human being.

If you have previously seen yourself bandaged with a head injury in the village of Grisea, you would think that all the more so.

"If you actually see this battle with your own eyes, you may be convinced of our nation's victory. But those left behind in Isteria don't either."

"Hmm... if you show me the recorded footage, that will solve it, but then it will be the same as making my existence public."

"That's the thing. Unfortunately, we are out of time. If we had promoted the fort alot before it was taken away, and if other countries had also shown off those vehicles and mass-produced gunpowder weapons, there would not have been an ambush on the fort itself. Or -"

"Father!

Narson shuts his mouth to Leese's blameworthy voice.

I don't know if we can talk about it, but what Narson is saying is best.

Being ambushed by a fort is in itself something no one assumed, so I can't help but talk about it.

The point is, there may be people who betray you because you're in a bad situation.

Then I just need to create a situation where I will never betray you, I can't betray you, but how can I do that?

"Mr. Kazra, for now, why don't you just leave it to each lord and royal family to explain?

When Ichiyoshi was thinking, Zirconia, who had remained silent until then, opened her mouth.

"I think it would be a good idea to show them the footage of this recorded battle, whether to lay low or substitute for Mr. Kazra. I can tell you that the battle was overwhelming, and if we could show you the tools to record the footage, we would all believe that God is on our side."

"I'll do the understudy. If I were to act as a connector to Graciole, there would be no place of origin or unnaturalness."

Ichigo put his hand on its shoulder with a bitter smile on Valletta, who tried to take the initiative and take his place.

"Mr. Barletta, you said you didn't have one of those. I'll explain to the great people."

"So, but..."

Barletta spoke up and stopped talking.

And I saw a good one with a serious face.

"... then from now on I will be beside Mr. Kazra as his escort for the entire four or six o'clock. I'm moving into Mr. Kazura's room."

"What? No, you just don't have to be that far"

"I have to. I'll protect Mr. Kazra."

"Then I guess I'll live in Kazla's room from now on, too. Now, I'm confident I can't beat a Kingsguard, not a sword, not a bare hand. I'll protect you."

Following Barletta, I even started saying that to Reese.

Both of us, our eyes are serious.

"So he said we both didn't have to do that. As always, it's enough to have someone from the village of Grisea stand up for security."

"But, Mr. Kazra..."

"Besides, I've come up with a few good things. Maybe if you do this, you'll be fine."

Make sure you can cover it with the baretta I almost told you, and Ichigo says that.

Weirdly confident.

"Uh, good thing, is it?

"What's that? So it's a way to keep no one from betraying you?

One good snorts at Barletta and Reese, who seem surprised.

"Yeah. The point is, I don't think anyone would betray me if I knew that 'if I betrayed you, I would surely be in terrible shape'"

"Terrible eyes, if they try to betray you, you can't have worse eyes than that because you're guilty of the death of a lone party after confiscating your property."

"That's right. People who betray you betray that risk knowingly. There's nothing to show you."

Reese and Barletta speaking differently.

Ichigo nodded, "Right."

"Normally, you don't have any worse eyes. But what would you think if you found out that going to hell would be decided after you died?

"... to hell?

"What do you mean?

Two people with expressions like, I don't know what that means.

Zirconia and Narson also look suspicious.

"Mr. Narson, people in this country believe in Graciol and Olmasior as a matter of course, don't they?

"Yeah, yeah. We can't all say absolutely, but I think the vast majority of people who live in this country believe it."

"Do you believe Mr. Narson, too?

"Believe it or not, you have been dealing with the real Lord Graciole, Lord Kazra, from day to day."

Answer as you deserve, Narson.

Three people, Barletta, Liese and Zirconia, look at each other.

Of the five people in this room, only Narson believes that the best is the real Graciole.

"Right. Okay, so you're all pretty confident, right?

"Yes, it's much smaller, and I was wondering if they all believed it."

"That's good. I'm going to use it to prevent betrayal."

"Um, Mr. Kazra. I don't see the story at all. Can you explain this to me in a clear way?

Rarely, Valletta rushes the good.

When it's a good thing, you can't stay calm.

"Well, I'm going to ask everyone to look at the actual hell footage."

Everyone on the spot turned a little face to one good.
