The Empire of War and My Strategies - Until We Can Have The Most Powerful Country Ever

The next night I talked to Lydia.

In front of me is Isla, who has just had dinner and is delighted.

I tried to get all my favorites in the mood to hear a little bit about what I'm going to tell you today.

Then let's just say we talk.

I intend to make it easier for Ira to understand the current situation, but what happens?

"Dear Ira, I have something serious to tell you. May I?

"Yeah... I need to talk to you too. Previously, Dan said Karma might go beyond Zanza, right? It really did. And what if Karma hates all the gods? I need to hear more about that story."

Right, did Ira care too?

You can talk fast.

"There's something I want you to remember before we start talking. I have not adversely affected any of the talks. The story that we're going to talk about is more profitable for them. If you generally don't like it, Master Ira can say no at any time. In this respect, may I?

"Yeah. I know and I get it. So I need you to let me get on with this."

Good then. Please don't forget.

"Add some information first. Master Talk's bad reviews are already spreading in Viviana Wellia's territory, he said. They're trying to spread the same story, and I expect the bad reviews of Mr. Talk to spread throughout Kay."

…… Really? "

"Yes. You want to attack Master Talk with all the gods, as you are righteous. Everything is likely to be just what she thinks if it stays this way. Dear Ira, I will ask you again. Would you like to help Master Talk?

You stay here, and when you do, you run away from whatever orders you take to ignore. I think that's the most stable way to protect your life. "

"... Dan, maybe you know, but where are you going to accept me? If you're going to live alone, that might be good. But if I wanted to live with someone, it would be very difficult to find anywhere but here. The Kay Empire doesn't like the Beasts, and the Beasts don't like my white hair. Even the Ourans complimented me as a warrior, but I guess I don't want to live with them... so I want to help Karma for my own sake. At least until there's really nothing I can do."

Sure. I think she's prone to isolation wherever she goes.

No one is as different as her.

It's pathetic, but there's no choice.

... You're kidding me when I say I have no choice.

Because you're trying to use her for what you know.

"Really...... Ok. Then, in my opinion, things will be somewhat better if Master Talk returns. Because thanks to Master Ira, I sold my thanks to the meadows behind me. But even when you come back, it seems like a difficult situation. But I can make some wins."

"Dan... so what do you want me to do?

"Please leave Master Talk's subordination and be my subordination. I will help as long as Master Talk listens to me. Explicitly, I ask her to follow me to some extent. It's hard for her to survive if she doesn't. Well, I'm not a big person... but Master Lydia Barca is going to help me, too.

But if I tell you to obey me, I think Mr. Talk is a conspiracy, and he's after my life. Because we can't live here unless Ira is my subordinate and protects us. "

"You're telling me... to betray Karma..."

I thought I'd be angry, but I'm flabbergasted.

But betrayal is a little different.

What I'm trying to do is help.

Because Karma is already dead.

First of all, I'm definitely the only person in the world who can help.

"For once, I'm not thinking of imposing it on Lady Ira's power if she rejects my suggestion after Lady Talk returns as I say. If Master Talk refuses, I'll just run away.

In that case, I suggest Ira come with us, don't you? Because in case she gets through the crisis then, she will surely perish afterwards. I am confident in this expectation, to the same extent as I have anticipated so far. "

Somehow Viviana Wellia resents it.

I can't beat her.

But I have one hand that I managed to come up with.

I have to check with Lydia to see if I can use it...

It would be a little better.

Even if I'm not here, maybe that Lydia has eyes if she really wants to help...

Lydia is not interested in karma, no matter how she sees it.

She helps Karma because I'm here.

I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't know why.

Ira is silently troubled even while I think about it.

How do you answer that?

After all, I would be very troubled if the sword sued me for saying that I could not cooperate in a conspiracy.

To avoid that, I was the first to talk about how I would only benefit Karma.

I just want you to remember.

There are meadow people outside for once, but the meaning will be diminished.

... Do you want me to stand up and get away with it right away?

"... such a rumor could be a lie. I don't think Karma would do anything to make terrible rumors. I don't believe you."

... Didn't you come after the slaughter? Thanks.

But that's painful, Ira. You can't believe your words on your own. Isn't that a look?

I know that's what you want to think...

"You may be suspicious. I'll just say one thing: Dear Talk's struggle in Land seems beyond Ira's imagination. It's not surprising that Master Talk starts to think when he has to resort to means that make bad reviews.

In order to clear your suspicions, it would be nice if Ira could hear your reputation in her own ear... it might be too late by the time rumors spread to this city of Lester...

Why don't you come here near the Viviana territory? You should listen to the talk that is being told there. But hurry as much as you can with any number of horses. I'll talk to Barca about the details. "

"... are you sure that Lydia will cooperate with Dan?

"It's strange, to be honest. You won't believe it, and ask Lord Barca directly."

"Yeah. I think I get it.... Dan was... you were a scary person. You know me really well. And I can't believe I'm ever gonna talk to you after I can't take any other action..."

Yeah? I think something's misunderstood.

"That's not true. Indeed, I tried to get to know Master Ira well. And we also act because we thought we'd get the best out of each other. But I don't even think I'll ever be able to take any other action. I can't believe I'm scared of more people. I'm a common man everywhere. It's just that he was a very effective person in Ira's and Talk's situations."

"Common people everywhere... I don't think so very much. No, it's good now. Okay. I'll ask Lydia and hear the rumors. Answers are good afterwards, right?

"Yes, because if you don't convince me, I'll be in trouble too."

That concludes the conversation.

After that, we'll have to wait for Ira to respond.

It's impossible to force me to work against Lydia or Ira.

The power of the individual alone overshadows everything.

So I benefit them.

It's better to move along with my suggestion so they can get what they want.

But...... Ira anyway, what's really wrong with Lydia......

I don't know what she wants, what she thinks, nothing.

... only hit with caution and respect for now, huh?

On the other hand, I'm confident that I'm important to Karma.

Even though it's a tough situation, even the Meadows would normally start attacking villages if Karma were weak.

Then I'll have to bleed to death one by one.

It's worth millions of dollars just to be able to stop it.

Of course it's possible that Mr. Ouran and the others won't have the ears to listen... but perhaps they'll be fine.

There are ways for them and Karma to coexist.

Then stabilize the back of Karma and let him survive as long as possible the world of war that began.

All I want is a safe place to live in Kay and the means to get information.

That should be anything.

If you can't, you just run away.

The only thing I need to be aware of is that Karma and the others are coming for their necks in an intense way.

It all depends on Ira, therefore.

If Ira suddenly betrays you... one hand is on my mind.

... Is the expression betrayal strange? She's a friend of Karma's from the beginning.

Is there anything else you can think of to reward Karma for what she told me in silence?

If you're uncomfortable with Karma's movements, maybe you should run.

Just do what you can anyway.

No matter how hard you try, it's decided that there are more holes than what people do.
