Episode XV: Keep Your Ass With Your Uncle!

- In the reception room at the lord's residence. In front of me, an old man with a dandy beard looked like he was having fun reading a sneezy letter.

"Gahahahahaha! I see." I'm going to destroy your territory "is what Jaikov wrote about being pretty radical too! In addition to that, you've been guilty of spreading copies and pushing our territory into economic collapse...

An old man with a beard who puts aside a letter he once received from Jaikov and laughs luxuriously.

He is the 'Great Lord', Duke of Hohenheim, who manages this part of the region.

My parents died suddenly and I took care of this old man when I took over the Baron's position. Thanks for putting together all the paperwork and stuff, old man.

"No... as a compiler of the nobles of this region, I was surprised if you came to me with a request to stand by from Jaikov, because he was already dead.

But, well, if you were sprayed to the point of being wronged after you wrote a scattered bad word, I don't even know how you feel about going to the fight ignoring the date and time.... By the way, are you really guilty...?

"Yes, you're right, Duke. I know you can tell by asking Klaus, the head of the guard in Bonclay territory, that I have done nothing wrong.

The guy named Jaikov pushed me to blame for the economic deterioration! He has even declared that he will harm my land and my people. Huh!? As a lord who protects folk grass, can't help but be angry at this!?

"Uhm, I know, I know! Klaus and the guards, starting with Klaus, have written to me that you're innocent.

... and I've heard stories about running Bonclay territory on behalf of Jaikov. The reputation of the people is great, and apparently you're doing fine. "

That said, the Duke of Hohenheim smiled gently at me.

Oh, whoa, whoa... this guy is someone I know perfectly well. Ahhh!

Yeah, yeah, I'm not bad at all! He said he was the victim of a sudden fight between some crazy bastard like Jacov!

The guard chief, Klaus, also said, "Rest assured, my lord. I made sure I told you not to fall for it! You said." My justice seems to have been passed on to me.

"Well, it's quite unsavory that we killed each other without my senior" My Lady "standings... because I knew Jacov didn't think much of Bay Baron territory. There was also notification of the duel in advance, and sooner or later one of them was destined to die.

- All right, let's acknowledge this result as official. According to the Dueling Act, Bonclay territory will be yours from today on. Keep it under control. "

"Ha! Even in lieu of this life. Ha!

All right! Bonclay territory, we're officially getting it!

Oh, I knew the Duke of Hohenheim was a good man. Luxurious and masculine. Come on.

If all the nobles were like me or this guy, the world would be at peace, wouldn't it?

That's what he thinks, the Duke shrugged with a deeper grin.

"Huhuhuhuhu, it's still nice to talk to you, Lise. If you look me in the eye, you'll see. … you are truly thankful to my son, who can hardly use magic and is called" The Duke of Blood Muscle Only ""

What, seriously!? Is the Duke underestimated? Uh, no! 'Cause this guy is such a good guy!

You're talking about all kinds of farming practices, building waterways, and screwing up civilian life?

"... Duke of Hohenheim, that just doesn't have the eyes to look around. I think you deserve more to stand up for the people than you do for the incompetence of Jacov."

"Mmmm... heh, heh! You've said a lot of bold things to me! That statement, in an aristocratic society where your prowess as a 'wizard' is more appreciated than your skill as a lord, is a good place to be silent, too?

"Do you punish?

"- No, thanks!

Stand up momentum and bash my shoulder, Duke. I'm here.

Well, I think I'm feeling better. Okay. Seriously, I'm a healer!

"Uh-huh, you're right. After all, the man who stands above must be wholeheartedly considerate of the people below. If you treat your men in the same line as livestock and tools, any group will eventually perish.

All right, to protect this country - my seniors have made up their minds...!

Whoa, I don't know, did you come up with any new policies or defense measures? Good for you.

"Huh. I'm here for you, Duke of Hohenheim. I'm sure you'll make this country better."

"Oops, apparently you have a vision of what I'm thinking!

... On my way here, I had a hunch when I saw the happy faces of the enriched Bay Baron lands and the people. Lise, you don't even think about scandals as noblemen and use magic for civilians, do you?

"Yeah. If you want people to be happy, you should use what you can use, right?

"Ghahahahahaha! Oh, you're right! You're absolutely right! Precisely you are my ally… a new era of aristocracy!

Ooooh...... I knew this guy was a good guy to praise instead of making fun of my charming nagging style!!!

If you are such a personable person, you must lead the country in a peaceful direction! I'll follow you for the rest of my life!

I also stand up again and swear to each other with my hands strongly tied to the Duke of Hohenheim.

"Duke...... let's work together and make it a peaceful country!

"Um, yeah, it's Lise! (...) be (...) sacrificed (...) sacrificed (...) came out (...) and (...) and (...) also (...), make sure to make it a peaceful country!

Ugh, yeah? Something like this guy said something awesome and disturbing... well!

I'm talking about the super-just Duke of Hohenheim, who affirms all about me, who is great justice, so I'm sure there's some good way to do it!

"Well, let's say it's time to go home! Then, my allies, you can count on me for anything you need or need! I'll take your ass!

Ma, seriously!? Can I ask you for anything?

Yay, yay, yay! This guy is a really good guy!

Let's work together for peace, Uncle Hohenheim!!!

◆ ◇ ◆

"-Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Hohenheim was grinning in a rocking luxury carriage.

He sincerely thinks as he peeks through the window at how the people of Bay Baron Territory live with a smile on their faces.

This is exactly the form of the ideal nation I'm striving for.

Hohenheim has long thought. Why don't the people who can use magic do it for civilians? Just because it goes against the teachings of 'Sophia', why do you follow it like an idiot forever?

Yeah, even if we're going to do our best, when the well-being of the people will eventually lead to the well-being of the nobility itself - I wonder why no action is taken.

But when I complained about it, they just cursed me in the shadows saying, "Don't let your magical incompetence speak business." So Hohenheim desperately contemplated various farming methods and so on, and taught all the folks, and made the nobles practice that rising revenues would make them happy too... but they still didn't move.

Instead, "do you want to get popular with the people until you tease the earth," ended up just flying off the shadow of a sight.

Received the result - Hohenheim was clean. That was magnificent.

No more aristocratic society today. He came up with the idea of revamping the nation by killing everyone, including the royal family.

But we needed like-minded allies to launch the revolution.

I was just wondering how to find it - he found an ideal person named Lise Baybaron.

"... In his eyes, the flames of righteousness were burning. There lived a pure light, not even any stray"

Those who overlap vices and falsehoods are those whose eyes become cloudy naturally due to distortions of humanity and unconscious guilt.

But Lise's eyes were straight everywhere. 'I didn't do anything wrong. I'm the righteous one,' the will came through.

The only one who can have such pure eyes would be a toddler who hasn't thought about 'heroes' or anything in the story. Hohenheim is convinced that it is definitely the former.

And it was from the life of Lise, who was devoting herself to the people from head-on to defying the teachings of 'Sophia', that Hohenheim decided. He said he deserved a comrade who would form treason together -!

"My wonderful allies, I'll see you soon! Destroy all evil and grab peace with your bloody hands!

- Thus, the Duke of Hohenheim followed Bay Baron territory with a high laugh.

Note... he naturally doesn't realize.

That great alliance thing is that a man named Lise Baybaron has just begun to devote himself to the civilian population to sell the festivities...!

I haven't thought about it. I'm shallow as a toddler, to the point that I'm just an unethical, self-righteous bastard -!

As a result, too many critical combinations were created: assholes who are gathering insurgents into their territory without thinking about the coup d 'état...!
