"And I think it's their thoughts."

Thank you for explaining Lydia.

Oh, well, you were fighting first to make Mario easier to handle.

There must have been a lot of roots for what I thought was Maida's super luck.

Yeah, he's got brains, he's got a teacher.

I couldn't sleep thinking I was lucky enough to do something about it.

Let's reflect.

"But I'm not sure what the Sanada faction thinks. It's tough to work with Viviana when there are people claiming Kay's blood ties... Or trying to connect with some god in this battle and get away with it."

Maybe... I'm after Orario.

You should want to go through there to Mutina State, surrounded by mountains that are likely to make the most of the knowledge of Maida, at the end of the Kai Empire West.

I can't even go from the Skitto family, but I think Orario is a better player with easy access to the center.

But I can't tell Lydia that.

Show me you know more about Maida than Lydia does.

Mr. Rusty is here, too.

So, it's that Rusty guy, but as the conversation softens, he's getting a complicated look.

Like I'm happy, like I'm sad.

"Mr. Rusty, what's wrong with you? Is there a problem with what we're talking about?

"No, I was afraid. I had a wonderful master and colleague. Leah's explanation, I think there's no doubt about it first. And everything collapses by the thought of the two of us, right? Everyone assumes the hostility between Viviana and Karma."

"It's Mr. Leah's idea, not the two of us. It will be."

"... I was actually wondering what would happen to Lord Sapona from the time I heard him decide on our policy. Or you could choose to be Viviana's subordinate... I just got here. If so... does Lord Sapona have to die?

That's it.

When I persuaded the Karmas to take the current policy, I wondered that Mr. Rusty didn't say anything when he told me that Sapona would be the enemy in the distance, but now you're asking me.

... If you say that you don't want to kill your friend in this day and age, and you want to do something to help, etc... you can't.

"Ten, eighty-nine. So what do you want to say? You want me to give up Karma and us the best hand to protect your friend?

"No, it's not. Worked with our Viviana. Given how shocked the Hordes will be when they find out that, to be honest, they are even reassured that it is good to be in this camp. But... I don't think the death of Lord Sapona is necessary for the two of us...

"... Mr. Leah, what do you think?

"Sure. Unless you get the territory of Sapona, Viviana won't be fighting Il Helmi. And if Sapona endures all the time, the alliance between Ilhermi and Mario could cross the power of Viviana, and we would also be in danger. I can't support Sapona."

"I'm not saying until I defend my territory. But if there is no obstacle, can you lend wisdom so that only life can be saved?"

"... Lord Rusty, Mario and Viviana are sisters and brothers of different mothers. Ilhermi and Viviana were also very close until Zanza died. My sister also works for Il Helmi. If possible, we can help, but we are also prepared for the time to kill. Isn't it natural in this world that all the gods contend to increase their territory? Do you understand this reality? Whenever your friend is in a crisis, are you going to ask me and you to help him?

"I won't do that. I know what kind of world it is. No... I probably wouldn't say this if I really knew. But... I have an in-laws. I'm not sure I'm going to hang out with Lord Sapona the same way I've always been, knowing she's going to give me the impetus to die"

"... My lord, what can you do?"

Ha...... I think it sounds like Mr. Rusty.

... for Maida's sake, can I take a wish with the intention of making it difficult for me to ask?

"Mr. Leah, if there's anything inconvenient, please let me know."

"As you wish.... Lord Rusty, how about three saponas to advise you?

One thing, if Viviana escapes without staying in the land, she does not chase her way back to her own territory so that she does not arrive later than Viviana.

Two, if you can't kill Viviana with this coalition, and they attack you into your own territory, it's impossible to bear it. Don't fight and run when Viviana sends out soldiers.

Three, while you're fighting the Allies, you make sure you get to know and accept them. If you are confident that you will pass through the land of the beasts, you can invite them to us. "

Shh, the last advice is unsavory.

Isn't that the closest you can get to Maida?

If Sapona, who lives on the border and is also a warlord of the Hundred Wars and Smelting, becomes a force of Maida, there will be more trouble.

Sick...... there's nothing more I can do.

No... If Sapona, a former lord, goes to Maida, can it be the source of the internal protest?

As Lu Bu, who fled to Liu Bei's place in the Three Kingdoms' will, betrayed Liu Bei.

Considering that Maida and Sapona are close... you can't expect much.

... you think too far ahead.

It all depends on this fight. I haven't confirmed anything yet.

"As long as it takes... Thank you, Lord Leah, for your valuable advice."

"You're mistaken. I owe you my advice. [M] You've got the wrong person to thank.

Plus, we're not involved in what you said earlier about "giving her the backing to die," but Sapona's going to lose territory and her own life, right? Whatever we do, Sapona will be crushed by Viviana. If Sapona wanted to survive, subordination to Viviana was the best hand.

She was the one who decided to fight Viviana, hoping for independence in a very unlikely way. We are not responsible for killing any of the clan members. "

Having heard Lydia's clear words, Mr. Rustyl tried to say something a few times, but ended up nodding in silence.

The territory of Sapona seems to be ancestral, and I don't know how I feel about it.

but you even think I'm the same person who chose this situation as suicide.

"Right... you're right. I have shown pity as a warlord of the world. Thanks for taking into account the detention of the awkward, Die."

"Because I also know how Mr. Rusty feels. But don't forget to say it's from Grace when you tell the story that Leah told you."

"I understand. Now the awkward returns to his curtain hall. Let's try to look back at ourselves as warlords who live in turmoil once and for all."

Mr. Rusty left after saying so.

We wait for a while in silence.

There was a sound of Mr. Rusty entering his curtain hall next to two...

Well, let's talk about it. Keep your voice down.

"... are you still usually like her?

"Yes. It's only been disturbed for about five years. If there is a factor in the death of those who were friends, it cannot be considered odd to rule it out and take it for granted. I think it would blow off......"

"Hmm...... Is it still different to wave a spear on the battlefield and miss the possibility of killing soldiers and friends dying"

"Is that... natural? A samurai's true self and a friend who fought horses side by side. Besides, it's very different to overlook the deaths of those who are not directly involved in your life or death."

I don't know.

but you still think differently.

Though I know I'm very different in this country.

No, it's also rare in Japan...... is it?

It was rare to talk about the mountains of mobs dying in stories.

I don't think there's a special human being in this world. For me, everyone's death is the same thing.

I've been trying so hard to think of it that way.

Otherwise, it becomes weak. Like Mr. Rusty right now.

... stories, huh?

You had all kinds of crazy bad guys painted in comics.

And most people were said to be bad people because they were killing people.

At some point, I'm more of a murderer than any bad guy in any story...

Most people in this country do.

It's going to make me laugh with my nose no matter what I already read.

I've realized since I've been here that Japan was especially different in human history in those days.

Ethics are too different.

I guess I'm a do-it-yourself now from those days... but I think I'm a better man now than when I was in Japan.

Life is ecological.

Few things trample on compared to when I was in Japan.

And this is not the time to think about something that doesn't matter.

"... that's right. Now, don't you think it would be troublesome if our policy went to Sapona and passed from there to Ilhermi, Mario? In that case, they will try to capture us and use us as bargaining material with Karma."

Then Karma will cut us off.

That's troublesome.

"I don't believe you would imitate killing us to help Sapona... in that case?

Well... if you don't have a choice... how about applying the hand you've been thinking about in the case.
