The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)
Lesson 234: The sacrifice shall not be admitted.
Liz's words were followed by silence in the room. It was Zion who opened his mouth as if everyone was overwhelmed by Liz's determination.
"I disagree."
Theon?
"Liz-sama, I think your readiness is expensive." We are close, but certainly too close. Certainly, even if there is a disagreement with someone... it may be difficult to correct it. "
"... hey, Theon? Isn't that too much to ask of us?" Ayano-chan is going to slurp on you even if it's hard to say. There's no way you'd be particularly impatient with Kota, is there? "
Ayano's gaze and protest. In response to Agano's attitude, Theon snorted his nose.
"The most dangerous thing is you, Ayano." Indeed, you will argue well with Kota. [M] We'll probably have an argument... maybe we'll get some help. "
But... that's it.
"... what do you mean?"
"Literally. Even if you get angry, argumentative, and violent... in the end, you'll be on Kota's side." In that sense, Lady Emili..... "
You guys are too good, "he laughs. [M]
"Policies are not the right answer. More precisely, the correct answer is decided by future generations, and at the time of decision, I don't know the correct answer, but it is correct... well, if I don't know now, the difference will be small. If Kota were to commit an apparent ruin... I wonder if that's possible."
Asked, Aino shrugged her shoulders.
"... I guess so."
"Even if Ayano and Lady Emily thought 'this is better', they would ultimately agree with Kota. And Kota will fix and implement the awkward, bad, and unfamiliar aspects of his policy. Whatever you say, you're good."
Nobody wants to be hated by a good person. Even if there is a disagreement, it can't be accepted - for example, Kota says, "I will set the tax rate to 100 percent from tomorrow! Unless you formulate a stupid policy like that, Ayano will scrutinize, rework, and implement Kota's policy.
Because I don't want you to hate me.
"... I don't think Kota hates me for disagreeing?"
"I'm serious, so I want to hug you, you idiot. Hate Kota? That's not true. The problem is Ayano's heart that says," I don't want Kota to hate me. "Apart from what Kota thinks."
Ugh, Ayuno glanced at her words, and Theon returned his gaze to Liz.
"In that sense, I can understand Liz-sama's story." Everyone was hated by Kota - no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. In that case, I can understand that Liz-sama is out of that frame. "
"... So, Theon? Why do you say no? Are you convinced?"
In response to Liz's question, Zion stood up and showed her two fingers.
"There are several reasons, but roughly speaking, there are two points." Do you want to hear it? "
"Let's hear it."
"It is certainly necessary to call it" "Omotesando" "." But, Liz-sama? To a certain extent, I can't do without [ability]. "
"... you think I'm incompetent?"
Liz snorts at Zion. Liz herself doesn't think she's that capable, but the line that says, "You can't do that" is not funny. With Liz's gaze, Theon shrugged his shoulders.
"No. I never thought Liz-sama was incompetent." I don't know... but unfortunately, the opponent is bad. And the environment. "
Please look around the room.
"Kota is the Demon King of Rondo de Terra and Ayano is the Saintess of Larchia."
"Are you talking about the title?"
"A person who summoned another world, like Giga Kaoru, had a track record of getting such a [title] in a short while." There will be no doubt in your ability. "
……
"Liz-sama's [position] is also weak." No matter how powerful you are, you can crush the king's brilliant opinions... but Liz-sama isn't the king now. Well, it's possible that the former king could trigger his might... but don't be offended. In our current position, Liz-sama doesn't have the authority to do that. "
"... that's... that's right."
"In addition, Erica-sama is here." Liz-sama, Erica-sama loves you, doesn't she? Anyway, can you complain to [Erica who is on Kota's side]? I don't think I can? "
Liz is stuck with words, according to Theon. With a small sigh on Liz, Theon inherited his words.
"As I said earlier, I don't have any doubts about Liz-sama's ability. I think you are better than I am as a king. Well, compared to Carlos of Solvania... don't be offended, Sonia. Carlos I will probably die before Liz-sama."
"... it's not bad." Isn't that what's going on in the world? "
"That's right. I think Lotte Baumgarden is a rare chancellor, even if she's not." I think... if I die, that talent will disappear. "
Theon's eyes were slightly sad. However, for a moment, Zion raised his face and smiled even more.
"... well, that's how it is. I don't doubt Liz-sama's abilities, but as expected, the people in this room have crossed Lotteon, who can be called Liz-sama's master. It would be impossible for Liz-sama to contain them. It's not compatible either."
"... but if you go with that theory... I don't know how to say that I will beat you all someday..."
"That's right. One day, Liz may surpass everyone else." it might be..... "
So I broke one of my fingers for another reason.
"--I don't want Liz-sama to sacrifice herself."
As Liz-sama's [Master], nothing else.
Theon laughed mockingly and told him so.
