Yomigaeri no Maou

Episode 274: The State of Lugung

"... hmm? You woke up!? Are you okay...?

After a while, Major Sioux and Walls came back in a hurry.

Behind it, I guess, is a healer, dressed in a white robe, accompanied by a woman with a cane.

But the woman was strangely inclined to her neck.

The reason for this was self-evident to the Lulu's.

Whatever, because Faitha, who was in such a state that she might die if she made a mistake earlier, is now pimping.

I'm guessing the healer woman has been asked that Major Siu and his men have been seriously injured in a rather dangerous condition.

For once, I came to Faitha and poked her knee, checked her condition, but still leaned her neck wide......

"... doesn't seem particularly problematic, does it? Major Siu's story was that there were serious injuries..."

"Oh, then..."

and where Lulu was about to answer, as Major Siu panicked,

"Yes, no! I'm sorry. It was a mistake. Hi, I hear you just passed out...... sorry I'm busy. You don't have to go back."

…… Is that right? Even that ghost Major Siu, that's what happens. Did you fall over in excess exaggeration......? Anyway, I understand. Now, if you'll excuse me. However, we healers are small in numbers in the Lugung army and always have a pile of tasks. Please refrain from doing things like this in the future… "

"I'm sorry. Let's apologize to the healer later. I said I couldn't."

"Yes, then..."

That's what the female healer says and bows her head and leaves the room.

What was strange was that Major Siu had been out all along, poorly, and that the healer woman was somewhat more arrogant?

I remember Major Siu saying something like, "There are few healers and they are precious," and I guess this is the case, Lulu.

And Major Siu opens his mouth where the signs of the healer woman were completely distant.

"... ugh. Have you been there? I'm relieved you've managed to mislead me."

With Lulu's frightened voice against it,

"Why did you block my words on the way out like that? Is that a misleading or a report of a lie? Look, a soldier does that to a colleague..."

Yes, Major Siu's way of getting in was obviously interfering with Lulu saying he could use healing techniques.

I mean, to say I was trying to hide that information.

Major Sioux to this,

"It's not good... but it's for you too, so I'd like you to thank me a little."

"Hmm? What do you mean?

"I told you. There aren't many healers. But try to spread the word that the recruit who came in today is an armed healer. Especially since he was a healer. Definitely will be assigned to the health unit"

"... you can't? I'm not going to complain about the assignment."

"No. Better not. Well, if you like status, power, that sort of thing, and you love a position where you can use other military personnel in your jaw, I won't stop you... that's not the kind of guy you've seen, is it?

"Well, that is. Does that mean that's what you call a health unit...?

"Oh. That's lamentable. If you get hurt on the battlefield, they're in control of the soldiers' lives and deaths. But they're the ones who decide how much to cure..."

To Major Siu, who said so, Zoe says.

"But to some extent, that would be impossible, wouldn't it? Even if it looks like you wasted your time helping someone who has no medical or healing insight and apparently easily left the healer to die and, on the contrary, doesn't seem to help, it's usually the right sort of thing to do. If you're complaining about it..."

What Zoe says is true.

On the battlefield, correct sorting is essential, and only professional ones can do it accurately.

But Major Siu shook his head sideways about this.

"Even I know that's about it. If you're right, you've got healing priorities, even if you don't complain about me or my men dying."

"So why are we talking about earlier power and status?

When Illis asked, Walls replied to this.

"Because that correct sorting has not been done. The head of the healing division, who is the head of all the health divisions, arbitrarily prioritizes healing…"

"That's... why would you do that"

When Lulu asked, Major Siu succeeded him.

"In the first place, the Lugun army is complicated in its composition. It's the same as a country called the Lugung Trading Country."

"... I see. Is that where you come from..."

It was Faitha who nodded as he was convinced.

Lulu leaned his neck,

"Tell us so we can understand."

That said, Major Siu continues.

"You know that the Lugung Trading Country is a country of merchants ruled by a few big merchants, right?

Lulu and Iris, and Zoe snort.

Faitha naturally knows, and Walls didn't respond particularly to snorts or anything like that, needless to say.

Major Siu continues after confirming.

"The governing body made by its great merchants… There is the Lugung Council, but there are four councillors in all who are this member"

"Oh, for once around there, you tapped in before you entered the country. I just don't know his name."

Written exam when entering Lugung.

Among them, there was also a consistent knowledge of the governing mechanisms.

However, in what was supposed to be remembered in it, there was no name for the councillors.

Because there were a few councillors and they stayed in the knowledge that they constituted the Lugung Council.

The story was that the number of councillors varied from time to time, not necessarily the four of them seemed...... now there are four of them, Lulu thought.

"I don't know if we all need to remember, but, well, that's a bummer now, so I'll tell you later. Besides, I don't know about the Lugung Council, but it takes the form of sharing the power of this country among the four of them. I haven't decided who's the best or what."

"... that's an inconvenience... if you can rub it, it's going to be hard to solve."

shared, is that going to mean that national decisions cannot be taken unless at least unanimously voted upon by a majority

That's what Lulu said.

Major Siu nods at this, saying:

"Exactly. But it's pretty easy to agree on something big. That's because all the councillors are merchants and the pursuit of profits is their philosophy of action...... so the Lugung merchant country was normally come as a country for a long time. But now that's a big shake. That's because this decision was exactly rubbed."

"When I say this decision..."

"About the invasion of the restricted area, yes. You guys came into this country after you figured that out, didn't you?

Lulu and the others nodded as they looked at each other,

"Well..."

I answered that.

Major Siu continues.

"As for the invasion of the restricted area, I could rub it. Because if it fails, it's a great adventure that could wipe out every country. Merchants can win. They place bets, but they don't place bets where the loss is too big. So at first, they had three votes against and one vote in favour."

"Well, that would be reasonable..."

The restricted area is so dangerous, it is not in the hands of man.

But Major Siu says.

"But eventually this turned upside down. There were three votes in favour and one against... so, in the end, this country ended up cutting the wheel to the no-go zone."
