It has been two months since I was called to the morning council.
Wherever you currently go in the Kay Empire, you will find yourself on one topic.
The King's army lost to Corno's army.
A general named Rossa was a prestigious general sent out with confidence by ten officials. Yet I lost.
That is why I can say that those who heard the news of defeat were surprised, fearful, and aware of the strength of the Corno army.
Besides, he flies his subordinates in all directions, saying, 'Defeat the bureaucrats who are fattening their private bellies and their lords!' and stirring it up all over the entire Kay Empire.
Lords who treated their inhabitants somewhat politely may not have to worry about the revolt of the locals to their place.
But when rebellions erupt next door, it's easy to predict them attacking villages.
If we don't get food like that, the rebels will starve to death.
Because of this, I can assure you that there are no lords in the Kay Empire who are not feeling anxious right now.
I feel a great deal of agitation spreading here in Talk Territory.
Wherever you go, that's the only topic.
And everyone seems anxious.
I hear there is now a shortage of weapons and food.
We need weapons and food to protect ourselves and to be on the side of the assault.
Even if I didn't want to attack you, I also overheard the idea of becoming a member of the Corno army and protecting myself.
Well, as far as I'm concerned, it was completely as expected, so I'm having a hard time making an anxious look to fit around.
Speaking of scary things... my ability (historical knowledge)?
Hahahahahahahahaha
Even so, the preserved food has been secured at Islay's house.
That's how disturbing society is.
Now, the gathering of all the officials is about to begin.
The place is between the widest sights of the castle.
Thousands of people gather in rooms about the size of gymnasiums with low ceilings.
Grace would be anxious too, he seems desperate to quell his subordination and public anxiety.
Thank you very much.
I guess what brought us all together was to share a little bit of accurate information.
Some people are upset that it's unusual, but given the fear of message games, I think it's an English break.
Buried among the people working in the warehouse and waiting, Grace's appearance was announced with the sound of the bell and everyone greeted him flat.
"You've all gathered well! I took care of everyone to make sure they knew what was going on and that there was no reason to be anxious! Repeat. You don't have to be anxious about anything! The situation in our Talk Territory is one in which we can deal adequately with this insurgency!
What do you want to claim most first, huh?
Oh, I can see everyone paying attention to Grace for not missing words.
Great endorsement.
I guess this guy is also a great candidate to keep his name in future generations.
Karma sounds like Dong Zhuo, but I don't know who Grace is because I didn't know he had a brother.
Well, there's not always someone to fit in, and I'm not serious about it.
Grace is a competent military teacher who rules the territory well. That's enough to recognize.
"Indeed, General Rossa was defeated! But it's fate, and we're fighting a thief named the Corno Party! However, under the present circumstances, it is not possible to immediately suppress the rebellion that spread throughout Kay with only the royal army, so each lord was given a decree to crusade. Following this, Lord Karma was determined to suppress the chaos in our Talk Territory with his army!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!
"Hey, whoa!!!
Habu.
Yeah, yeah.
That's right.
That's what I'll do.
I know. I know. - I thought I'd miss it.
Is this how the army leaves?
I remember the yellow towel mess didn't last a year...
Whether Karma becomes Dong Zhuo depends on whether or not he will sell his name to the center in this battle.
I don't think there's any connection to Zanza at the moment.
I'd like to know how Rand is, but he's been too disturbed to hear from Lydia here for a while, hasn't he?
Whatever it is, just look at the pattern.
Lydia's predictions and things are working as I remember them so far... but I'd like to know if there's any connection between Karma and Zanza in the future.
Shall I take into account what you asked me to do then?
What time should I go to see you......
Tonight, but are you okay?
---
At night, after dinner, I visited Grace's house at a time when everyone was relaxing to a certain extent, and I was put through to the reception room with little waiting.
Was this, perhaps, expected?
"So, what can I do for you?
Nooo, I can clearly see you're still exploring.
Is that so suspicious?
Even though my boss tells me I'm working seriously.
No, I know.
The warehouseman who applies to see you at such an important time is suspicious and natural, yes.
"Does Master Grace remember the predictions I made before? I also asked you if you could take into account the predictions that you made when you met them."
"I remember. That's why we met. So, what consideration do you want?
"First, will I participate in the next crackdown?
"... maybe. If you want to take me to the battlefield, the elves are good. What, you say you don't like it?
Yeah.
I'm in trouble if you don't take me.
"No, that's not true. I just can't fight, so if you keep that in mind,"
"Who would expect a warehouse worker to do battle? It's up to you to run the barracks. I need you to get to the front line, but it's not dangerous unless we destroy them all."
"Oh, right. It was a stupid question. Excuse me. Now, before I ask you for consideration... do you have a prediction... can you ask?
Oh, you look a little nasty.
Oh, my God, I know.
You've been collecting food pretty early, haven't you?
My boss was surprised that I had the necessary reserves in place before the price soared.
"What a far-sightedness Lady Grace has! 'What did he say?
Wasn't that my prediction that I could grab the information early?
I want to say.
"You didn't answer anything then... I'll give you a lump sum next time. I also guarantee some salary increases. So, what kind of prediction?
... I was silent at the meeting the other day. You took it to the roots.
Yet you are a good man to reward.
Or was there something in your expression?
... Were you on track?
I've been trying to watch out for those in power, that is, those who jump through and are competent... because I haven't done this in over a year...
"We may be able to connect with this outbreak, and possibly with the King's Army, especially Master Zanza. This is the prediction. So, if that happens, can you tell me how it works?
"Zanza? There's talk of being appointed general... but I'm supposed to protect Rand... do you know him?
"No way. I don't have a clue. However, depending on your activity in the next rebellion, Karma will be noticed by those in power in the center. Given the conditions, I was wondering if Zanza would try to get closer to Karma in particular."
"You say something like a competent warrior... you wouldn't be a fine piece, would you?
You're a spy, right?
I have absolutely nothing in common with Mr. James.
Unlike that guy, I'll swell up as soon as he punches me in the face.
"Dear Grace, what I told you last time and this time is a valuable prediction I received from an acquaintance. Didn't Lady Grace assume either? I told Karma only that, but I didn't expect you to suspect it. More importantly, I shouldn't have let you two lose anything."
Seems like Ilhermi and Lydia weren't sure, but there's no way he could tell.
There's no such thing as a scared person beyond those two.
"... you're right. I'm sorry. Who is that acquaintance?
"I'm sorry. He was a very personal friend. Failure to give your first name was a condition for you to tell me. Forgive me."
"It's nothing good if you don't want to tell me... I haven't heard the kind of consideration I want yet."
Oh, you don't consider telling me if anything happens with Zanza.
I was hoping you'd take that into account. Thank you.
"Nothing so far. We are connected thanks to Master Grace. I'm really sorry about this in my opinion, but I don't think this corno mess, it'll take years to crack down. To kill a corno, though. There is also the possibility of recurrence there and there afterwards…"
"Wouldn't it be comforting... I appreciate it fitting right in, but it won't happen again and again. Is there anything else?
"I won't sit down. Now, if you'll excuse me. Dear Grace, I'm busy, but please love your body."
"... right. Watch out for sickness on the battlefield too."
Oh, I feel pretty seriously cared for.
Thank you.
I quit as politely as I could.
And go straight to Isla's house.
Master Ira came out immediately.
But even though it's still a crowded time... there's a sign right before I go to bed... I think I'm taking a nap... no, it makes me sleepy when I work out.
Exercise makes me sleepy, I can't help it.
"Dear Ira, I am truly sorry. If you're tired, why don't we come back tomorrow?
"It's okay...... Still... awake... time..."
……
Should I go home... No, he says this...
"Really? I need to talk to you, so can I get you some tea?
"... ugh, hmm"
When I had tea, I woke up a little.
I should have visited a little earlier.
You did a bad thing. Sleepy but not angry neighborhood personage, but not sweet.
Let's be careful later.
"Dear Ira, I told Lady Grace a little bit about my expectations for the future, but I also wanted to share with Lady Ira what I added to that. Can I talk to you now?
"Yeah. I don't know, if you just ask"
Doesn't seem very interested but still good.
It's enough for you to listen to me.
"This rebellion will be a dressed place for the warriors to make a name for themselves. Of particular relevance here is the political situation in Rand. Zanza, who became a general, is likely to try to find a cooperative lord for herself because she will prevail over the ten officials.
Among other things, Master Talk has no connection to anyone in Rand and is a convenient opponent for Zanza. Have contact with Master Talk during the rebellion and eventually may try to call him to the King's Capital.
As for the talk, it would seem like a great opportunity to sell your name in the center. But if you go to Rand under Xanza's command, a terrible political struggle awaits. I fear that it will be difficult for Master Talk to win. "
"... even if they say that, it will happen. I just fight. I don't know politics. What are you telling me to do?
... Probably. I'm talking about what you're saying to this man who's a born warrior.
But I want to earn the trust that my predictions will quite be met.
Be patient.
"Er...... simply put, you better watch out for Zanza and keep it discreet. will be. After that, I wanted you to know if you'd meet my expectations."
"Okay.... watch out for Zanza. It's dangerous to follow Rand. Is this it?
"Yes. Actually, we've only talked about this so far to Master Ira. I'm sorry about every time, but it's beyond the rank of a junior official, so why don't you tell someone else?
Dear Ira sneering...... I think every time but it's cute.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. If I show you my lower heart, you can't smash my skull.
There are some very aggressive enthusiasts out there, strong minds.
I left Lady Ira's house immediately after this.
As far as I'm concerned, it's nice to know what you're thinking, but you looked pretty sleepy... Let's come earlier in the future.
Well... finally a battlefield.
I finally got a chance to get used to it.
Well, it's supposed to be a basic win.
It would be the best opportunity to get used to it.
Later, I'll send Mr. Ouran the information he's had so far and my predictions.
