The night has dawned and today is the day to negotiate in return for Mr Ouran.
To be honest, I'm pretty nervous.
If this doesn't work, there's little point in helping Karma and the others.
If Karma refuses to help Mr. Ouran, it will be better to just run away.
Mr. Ouran and his escorts are on the negotiating table, and this side is Karma and the teachers, plus Mr. Ira as an escort.
Finish your brief greeting and the discussion begins.
Please, do it right.
"Then I will ask Lord Karma to hear his demands. I don't need gold or silver. Instead, I would like to start by selling the tea we are selling finely in your territory to a greater extent. This is a product that I am confident in the quality that the Ten Officers also bought.
And I want you to hire someone from us to work at the official residence in the future. For now, a hundred people as civilian. And a thousand guards inside the official residence and the city of Lester. If this goes well, I'd like the entire territory to be hired as an escort and a civilian.
Finally, we request permission to live in a meadow not used in Lord Karma's territory. This makes talk territory where we live. It means we will prosper together and we will be willing to fight our external enemies together. Would that be a good idea?
And that's the demand... how's everyone reacting?
……
Whoops? You feel stunned and voiceless, don't you?
I'm making a surprise look, too, but can you make a look like this?
Oh, Lydia hasn't changed her expression......
This guy is amazing everywhere.
"Hey, hey! You, Dan! I wonder if you knew this was a condition!?
"No way! I don't know!
"Really? No, not if you're questioning this guy. Ouran, that's what I'm asking you to do. Going to wage war!?
"Lord Grace, have you listened properly? That's what I'm trying to do to live together. Even if this guy didn't teach us this time, we should have sensed that your lords were fighting a battle near doom. If you want to fight, I'll set you up then. I would have destroyed it.
Wouldn't it be very troublesome if they attacked us in the future? Then it's best to live together. Besides, what I want is not land I can do in the fields that the Kays take care of. Unused meadows. You don't even know what you need to worry about. "
All right, all right.
That's good.
Later it depends on Karma's perception of the prairie tribe.
Honestly, I have no idea.
I've lived in Kay for years, but I wasn't educated as a Kay.
"Culture is Different - Ugh" all the time.
In any case, unless Mr. Ouran and the others cooperate, I don't think we have a choice.
And what's Grace mad about?
Mr. Ouran, did I say something?
"Are you threatening us?
Oh, that.
"No way. Oh, just because we attacked? We mean everything the Cays call the Meadows. Why don't we negotiate so they don't attack us and still help us chase them back if they do? Let's also do our best when the tribe of mountains and clouds comes. Weren't you thinking of using us anyway?
Or do you want me to stop all the other families for free? If that's not possible, we can't help you. "
"... I get that statement for now. But what is a civilian? You won't be able to read."
I've been thinking about it for a while now, but isn't the language rough on a clan chief opponent with a lot of power?
Is this what you do to beasts? Mr. Ouran and the others don't seem particularly uncomfortable either.
I don't think being objective would be a very clever response.
"That's an old story. We also have some thoughts and are starting to study letters. Of course, I don't know if I've become good enough to keep up with your demands. So he brought the middleman among those who could read the letters.
Try this person to see if he can be used as a civilian. If you can't, let me know what you're missing and I'll deal with it. And this is the guy in charge of the guard. I want you to discuss this with him when it comes to security. "
That being said, when Mr. Ouran introduced the two of them yesterday, they both bowed their heads in Kay's courtesy.
I'll go with Kay to some extent. I wonder what this means.
"It's like you're pretty sure we're gonna drink your terms, Ouran."
"You got 90%. We also know that Kay is in a very disturbing situation. How tough is it not to be attacked every year by a village in that state as before? It is obvious that if multiple families gather to attack, they will not be able to see. This is a mutually beneficial story. I don't think Lord Karma and Lord Grace know that."
"... by and large, you mean the guards, right? If you put a thousand of those guys in Lester, it'll be a hassle when you think about taking the city. I'm not kidding."
"It's out of my mind to think I'm a fool to the point. May I, Lord Grace? This is a story because I am the only Lord Karma opponent in all of Kay who understands the Beast Man. In the other opponents, I'm sure they'll try to kick ass. What could be more foolish than losing someone so precious by a reckless outrage?
In addition, let us suppose that I seized the Lord Karma with great distress, and destroyed the land. What happens next? All Kay's lords are determined to attack only at this time in unity. I can't keep living in this land for ten years, trying to keep my numerous subordinates dead. I can read without learning to this extent. "
"... Hmm. As good as it gets. And I can't believe you're ready to get here as well as thinking ahead... Ouran, how long have you been so smart? You weren't much of a fighter back in the day, were you?
"Four years have passed since I became chief of the family, too. I'm just saying you can't stay with a little girl without a thought until hours. There are good men. Besides, my family is gaining strength. Nearly twice what it used to be. That's why you can't do it unless you think about it."
Yeah, yeah. Nice. He's in the hall.
No, I don't want to. This sentiment seems to me to be above me.
I was rude to Mr. Ouran, who has become a living legend as a fact.
In retrospect of that, I think the first Mr. Ouran was like this.
Did you originally have a face to use when negotiating with the Kays?
"Yes, it's a big deal. So, do you still have demands?
"No, not anymore"
"Okay...... then I'll give this person alone time to discuss it. And Fio, try reading and writing arithmetic to see if he can work in some department as an official."
"Then we are going back to our quarters and resting. Should we come back here in the afternoon?
"Yeah, let's do that"
So it was dissolved, and the humans on Karma's side gathered in a room more suited to secretly discuss it.
When I have tea for everyone, Grace is over here...... Wow, awesome expression.
"You! What are you going to do with this! How are you gonna take responsibility? What did you say to them yesterday!!
Oh, oh... I am obsessed with the Spirit of Fury.
Karma! My sister is now saying 'LIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE' I think I'm going to scream! Quiet... Ah, Karma had a very unchanged look.
but this is also assumed.
It's the Karmas who are being hunted down, not me.
After all, you should stop the adventure when you're carrying things you want to protect, Mr. Karma.
If you fail, you can't afford shards like you do now.
And then people like me would come along.
