"Because this is what happens, I thought it would be better not to tell you.
"No. You have to understand.
"Right. No, I'm sorry. Sophia's more right, this. It's a position you need to know, these two.
Master Alex meditated.
"That's what I mean when I take over the house. As far as I'm concerned, the Merle family's interests are paramount. If it is in the interest of the Mel family, I feel no itch whatsoever about sacrificing the Sakuma family or Chiharu.
"Sophia, you can't be that bad. Sophia, Philia and I will be heartbroken. That's for sure. But even if you feel pain in your heart, you can definitely cut it off. I'll tell you that.
Master Alex opened his eyes.
"You've said it's nobility to take responsibility, Hilo. It is up to us to feel alive and worthy of that responsibility.
Look at me.
"We will deal with the Mel family, face to face with hundreds of people, to develop and continue the house. That's what Sakuma's house should do. With the Mel family, he uses his nerves for relations with the royal family, other clans, and northern thieves, swimming around with all his might. Both Sophia and Philia have lived with it since childhood.
Master Alex's gaze never let go of me.
But his eyes are loose... his expression turns into a pathetic smile.
"But, Hiro. I'm also going to know how you feel, when I was fourteen, that's what I admire about the Ten Horsemen, just a boy. I didn't have as much perspective as you. [M] When they heard me talk about politics, I think I took my seat outrageously.
Still.
"Hiro, Thousand Mornings. You have to look at things from Sophia's or Philia's point of view. [M] Closer to Sofia in position than I was at the time.
"Some parts are not convinced.
The objection came out, poking his mouth.
"Even from Sophia's point of view, whether the way it is done will necessarily benefit the Mel family. Careful steering is also needed as a side of the Mel family, and if you misstep, Fanzo is a warring nation turmoil. Doesn't the Mel family have a profit and fear of buying grudges?
"Mr. Hiro, that's on the ready side. On top of that, I'm calculating if Sakuma's house would work.
"Okay, Philia. This issue has been studied by the Mel family. Perhaps it will turn well for the Mel family and the Sakuma family. Let's try to be good there.... but. That wouldn't explain why Chiharu has to inherit Sakuma's house, would it? Is there anything good for Thousand Early? What makes Chiharu have to go along with it if Sakuma's house had a benefit?... puppet regime. Interim management of split governance. I was resented and envied from below. Contempt from above. Do we have to steer a house like that for thousands of hours?
I had noticed myself having thorns.
A big man can't say that. Maybe I should just be thankful that I have a place. I can even feel alive there. But come on.
"If you're a thousand years old, you can earn and live on your own. I can work at naive meetings and work that is both responsible and viable. Mostly, go home, do you have a place? You have a system in place to inherit your brother, don't you? Isolated and helpless in the house. I can't even take advantage of my powers. If it's a thousand years old, I don't think it's going to be a viable job. You don't need to belong at home. You don't have a choice to abandon your house?
"Mr. Hiro! That's too...... I can't believe I live without a house.
"Wait, Philia. Hiro isn't saying that much. I just want to say, 'It's up to Thousands of Early Mornings to carry the house or not'. But Hiro, a house is not like a complete escape from it. You know what I'm talking about.
"Whatever, I know. However, Master Alex abandoned his parents and entered the Mel family. Regardless of your mood, you abandoned your parents' house, didn't you? Fritz, whose name is Beckenbauer, still thinks he's almost out of touch with his parents.
Fritz not called on this occasion.
It's also a matter of position, his current position in the Mel family.
"Mr. Hiro, that's not like you don't belong at home. In the case of your brother-in-law, so to speak, that you have changed your affiliation with the Mel family. Mr. Fritz means that he became the owner of a single house independently. That's the same thing for ordinary people.
"Phyllia is right. And, Hiro. Normally, yes. No matter how isolated or helpless you are, if you can be the head of the house, you want to be. I'm three men, Fritz is four men. I was in a position to leave the house. If there had been talk of taking over the house at the time with the backing of the Mel family, none of them would have jumped. I'd rather inherit a house from generation to generation than be independent like Fritz, you know? As far as we are concerned, we intend to make a fascinating proposal to Thousands of Early Mornings, who have supported Filia so far.
"Even for Alex, I didn't abandon my parents' house. I am on edge with the Mel family and Alex's house and they are working with me. That's also natural as the side that welcomes Alex. Even if you leave the house, a good relationship will continue.
"Still, I think Sakuma's house is too smug. Thousands of mornings, I can fly out of the house and be independent. You don't run away, you don't have to jump out. Thousands of mornings, you should be able to make your own way.
"What about Sakuma's house?
Philia's voice, asking so, was strong.
"The Sakuma family will henceforth be put in a position of rewarding but difficult. Mr. Hiro is right. I was resented and envied from below. If you mistake the helm, you will slap it. The house itself could perish, right? Tell me you're not my oldest son, and you want me to sit on that to your direct line, Chiharu? Mr. Chiharu, can you do that?
