Until Ira returns, work in the warehouse as usual.

If I thought so, Lydia called me in.

Is something wrong? I go to Kossoli and Lydia's mansion just like I always do.

From the look on Lydia's face a bit, try to guess how good and bad the information is.

... It was futile. I knew it. Excuse me.

Let's throw away the nagging thoughts and listen to Lydia's story.

"I call you because a sentence from Karma came to me, my lord. So I was hoping you could help me figure out what to do."

"Um, that's good... did you possibly like that way of calling me my you?

"Yes, my dear, because you were feeling restless. Let's get used to it, my lord. My lord, how would you like to move your expression like that? My you have to cross with the Talk Sisters. [M] My failure to understand your heart is important to the success of my strategy, my lord.

... so no, under Cold Cheer, so-, ha-do.

No, I knew you were one of these people.

I thought other people would just be stirred up, and I'm deleting them from my friends list... Oh, my God, I just feel like they're cornered.

It is not uncomfortable, only the feeling of anxiety is increasing.

There's a big difference between letters.

Well, maybe it's your fault, but aren't you really happy?

No, I think you're very happy with my reaction. I'm sure. Maybe. Me-bi.

... No, are you happy? I knew I didn't know.

"We will refine it so that it cannot be wolfed by the degree of nomenclature…. So, what was the sentence from Karma about?

"The current state and its consultation. Besides, I heard from Mario Wellia's territory how to deal with bad reviews of myself."

"Ah, you noticed much earlier than I thought... no, should I say the rumors spread faster than I thought"

"Mario's territory is close to Rand. But if rumors are spreading so fast, maybe we should hurry to call Karma back. Waiting for Ira, there's no way we're going to lose it."

"No. I will wait for Master Ira. She can't resist anything with violence on the other side."

"Hmm. My (my) cooperation is also essential for Karma to survive, and I (myself) alone can handle it? Besides, Lord Rusty is unlikely to be in this situation."

Sure.

But Mr. Rusty doesn't want us to be in a discussion.

She still has no idea what time she's leaving.

It doesn't taste good to have more information about me taken to Maida then.

"As I said. But you can't. Even after Ira returns, it's more expensive to make the official calculations in time, isn't it?

"That's right...... Do you think Ira personally is more important than everyone below Karma? Impossible."

Oh, that's great.

But it matters.

I lived with her for a few years and found out. She is animal-like to all five senses.

I was convinced I was the best as an escort.

Besides, if she cares, my neck could blow at any time.

I've never had a problem with Karma and the others killing each other and Ira being the only one following me.

Just gather information while living with the best escorts elsewhere.

Huh, like a couple.

Gehehehehehe.

That is, of course, a joke.

I often say eat elbow iron, but her elbow iron probably explodes my heart.

I don't have the courage to dictate women by dying alive.

I can't jump out in front of a truck and confess.

What's the hundredth time? You're shaken because you're a mental who comes up with such a painful confession. Cut your hair at least.

I could definitely marry a younger beauty if I was swinging my hanger around. Why wouldn't you?

... Oops, I don't care. I got a good delusion.

Well, her importance just fits my purpose, and I'm pretty sure it would be weird if it were normal.

I wonder how you excused it.

... Liu Bei, okay?

"I made the first promise to her. I want to do that righteousness. Even if a man betrays me, I will not betray him."

Hmm.

Honestly, you son.

I'm cool.

"... My lord, I will sit you down with such a bad excuse. A lot of people say you're betraying what you're trying to do right now, right?... where did you hear that lie? For the first time in my life, I've felt cold in people's words."

Whoa, you did.

Sharp penetration.

It became a model of shame when the words I learned in my creations were used appropriately.

"... in the meantime, please do that"

"I can't help it. I feel a great deal of trust in me. [M] Well, it might be easier to get territory with Ira as the lead general while Karma and the others are all killed in Rand... or do you think about that?

... This guy is definitely a genius.

A ghost, though.

Abbreviated talent... what, you're not wrong.

"I wasn't thinking about that hand. Perhaps a good hand. But in that case, Mr. Barca is the boss, right? I'm anonymous, thank you."

"If you feel like it"

Oh, maybe not this reaction......

I didn't mean it like that from the beginning.

Whatever it is, it's all since Ira got back.

The reply to the sentence was dissolved by asking for it to be properly returned in the light of the policy.

---

About a week after Karma's sentence, Ira returned.

Karma could be upset that Lydia can't even count on her by now.

I'm sorry. Give it up, Karma.

Now the three of us, Ira and Lydia, have a place to talk.

"Dear Ira, this is the sentence sent to me by Master Talk. Did Ira hear about Mr. Talk's reputation?

Oh, I just saw your face and I knew it.

That sounds like an amazing reputation.

"Yeah...... It was terrible to be near Viviana. Like how badly Karma does things to the people. I don't know how much you're tormenting the young emperor today..."

"Really... now I think you understand I'm not lying. So, this is the text in the box that I gave Mr. Talk back then."

Here's what it's all about.

'Here's one of Dear Talk's predicted future:

1. Zanza dies.

2. Become the guardian of the emperor and gain an unparalleled status alongside the Kay Empire.

3. Buy the jealousy of the Horsemen, and the ill reputation of Master Talk spreads throughout the territory.

4. Fight and defeat the Allied armies made by the Hordes'

Having read this, Ira and Lydia are astonished to open their eyes.

...... yeah? Why Lydia, too? Hardly what you expected?

"Dan, being the guardian of the emperor here... what if Karma predicted during that incident in Land that he would protect the emperor?

Yeah. I thought it was possible.

It could be logical.

It's just, is it a flying prediction after all?

I knew the story that Dong Zhuo protected, so I can't deny the possibility that the thought was influenced by it.

but I'm not willing to be honest with you like that.

"No way. I told you before. He said he expected the worst. By and large, if Mr. Talk doesn't get to his highest position, it won't be a big problem. And it is imperative to be the Emperor's guardian in order to reach the highest position. That's why I wrote: But if Master Barca thinks so, that's a problem. I'll make up how I predicted it this way."

"... really? And you won't answer me if I ask, or... If you say you should come back after showing this sentence, you will return unless Lord Karma is an extra fool. If so, it will depend on Lord Ira later. What will you do, Lord Ira?"

"... can't you really help me if Karma and the others don't follow Dan's instructions? If Dan just wants to get to the top of Karma's ranks, I'd be happy to help."

"Oh, it's misunderstood. I'm not interested in standing as an honor. If they don't follow me, they won't cooperate, because if they don't, they'll die.

I think the Talks are excellent as Lords of the Border, but now it is a time of war throughout Kay. Barca's story tells us that the neighboring lord is likely to attack us at almost the same time as the Talk returns?

I don't think you can survive if you don't follow my thoughts, no, Mr. Barca's thoughts, at that time. In fact, you're dying now, aren't you? I'm afraid Master Talk has a decision to make, that's all we're talking about.

Well, we can still afford it. Take a few days to think. "

Whoever it is in the Kay Empire does, but it's pride and honor but it's too much of a dictated action.

I'm not joking about giving those guys the power to make decisions.

I trust Lydia's judgment extremely much because I think she's the one who's proud and doesn't change her mind.

What did I tell you about being under my command, being a common man?

Some people took it lightly to imitate that suicide was better than humiliation.

I trembled in every way, but I think the scariest thing was her spirit to be able to act like that.

"Okay. I'm Dan's subordinate."

Huh.

"Huh...... I didn't expect you to make your decision so soon...... Um, just in case, there's not half a chance that Mr. Talk will drink my suggestion that it's my idea. Furthermore, if she refuses, it will be difficult for Ira to go under Master Talk. Well, there's no stopping it."

Ugh, why should I have an excuse...

I was so quick to respond...... I got upset.

"? But... Karma and the others will die if I'm not under my command. No?"

"In my opinion and that of Master Barca, is. I can't say I'll ever be either."

"Yeah, I know. Actually, I was deciding when I came back from hearing the awful things about Karma and the others.... I just need you to do your best to work with Dan and survive if you work with him... I'm sad"

Is Karma and the others so important?

Perhaps I should say personable. But the world is much worse.

... I think it's a good thing that I'm acting like that.

In the end, all I can do is return it with all the sincerity I can.

That sincerity, too, to the extent my convenience permits.

... I can come inside, too.

I smelled less than shit. Reliable.

"I understand, Master Ira. I swear I will do everything in my power to solve the problems that have arisen with this talk."

I said as I bowed my head deeply.
