"Uh... I see you're falling asleep, huh? Why don't you wash your face?
To not many words, though Stina returned it that way, it would be helpless too.
If it's not bullshit, what the hell is it?
"Who's asleep? You've got a clean head, and you're insane.
"Mmm, next time you went crazy, did you try to tell me you were going first..."
Even as she spewed out the joking words that way, Stina stared jizzily to make sure she didn't miss how Iori was doing.
But I feel a slight light vibe there, but I don't feel any signs of lying or joking.
I mean...
"... are you serious?
"You can't talk about this with a joke, can you? Naturally."
That said, his eyes pointed straight at him, I see. He certainly lived a real light.
Apparently, he's serious.
"Sister... no, does Mr. Beatrice know about that?
"You could normally be my sister, how long do you keep doing that? You can stop now. And now you're my name."
"I stopped Stina, but it's punishment. If Stina stops here, I can't tell you, and I can't help it. Of course I call you Father-in-law."
"... Shit"
"You know, I don't care about that. So, did you tell everyone?
"For once, yeah. I just told him that I was thinking about those things, and I haven't got any specifics yet. I didn't think about it in the first place."
He said he hadn't thought about it, but he's about to move on to doing what he just came up with.
Exactly stunned and the sigh leaked.
"Aren't you an idiot?
"No, I did just think of that, but it's not just a thought, is it? There's a good chance and a good reason."
"... is it true?"
I couldn't trust myself enough to look into my eyes, but after I coughed up one more thing, I wandered unexpectedly into my pointed eyes.
The atmosphere that surrounded him was worthy of the Lord of this castle.
Most of all, that's not necessarily why the thought is right.
So when Stina coughs up one too, she retightens her mind and looks back at those eyes.
Determining whether it's right or not is one of the reasons Stina is here.
I can't be cowardly or anything.
"... for now, I just found out that I'm thinking about it properly. So, what exactly do you think? That's right... the odds are good later, so let me start with the reason."
"The reason is simply that if you don't do that, you're not proportionate. Gustav is the one with the blacksmith arm who's probably gonna be in the fifth finger in the world, not just the Demons, right? Normally, we should naturally not allow ourselves to surround ourselves and send them out to other countries. Especially now countries are pretty tingly, and some are actually at war. Well, mostly Veritas. Try to get him there. Definitely gonna lose your balance of power."
That's certainly what Stina thought, too.
If Gustav goes to another country, it will undoubtedly be the bottom line for that country.
That hasn't happened in Dimento because Dimento is not a country.
To raise the bottom, you don't have soldiers as a country, you can't do it.
But that's why even if Gustav were to move from Dimension to another place, Dimension shouldn't have that disadvantage -
"No, it's synonymous with our relative weakness that other nations' wars will be raised to the bottom, right? That could be enough of a downside, right?
"That might be true... but what Gustav is trying to make his way to is Radius, right? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I
"Well, you're right if you say you don't have a body or a lid, but on the contrary, it seems that way because there's soma. If it weren't for Soma, that would be enough of a threat, wouldn't it?
"Hmmm... maybe it does... but is that enough in exchange for admitting that the Demons will have a country?
"At least I think I am. For example, because this time it's Radius, but if this were Veritas, the peripheral states that are definitely at war with Veritas would have opposed it. If we do it badly, we may be attacked and destroyed by the power that has been raised. Conversely, if Gustav had gone to a country where he was at war with Veritas, Veritas would have rebelled fiercely this time. Veritas may not be destroyed, but there's a good chance he'll end up at a disadvantage."
"Isn't Radius at war with Veritas?
"We're in a truce now, aren't we? Besides, you probably think it's a margin of error, just like us."
Reminds me of that word.
I was wondering if you knew about Soma because of the evil dragon.
The current situation, which can be described as a step ahead of civil unrest, although we would not be able to afford to care about that in the first place.
"Hmmm... if you don't want Gustav sent into the other country, or if you want me to, admit that the Demons have a country,... so you can say?
"Well, that's the thing. I'm not actually gonna do it, but we're in a position to do it. I guess Gustav stayed with me until now because I didn't think I'd do it. Still, it doesn't change what you can do, then it will be worth it. That's what I mean."
"Hmm... I understood for now, but so I can really push through? What you're saying is, it's pre-construction, or it's just some kind of airborne theory on the plane, right? I know. I feel like I'm about to get poked."
"That's why I told you. There's a good chance of winning."
I did say it, but there Stina sends another skeptical gaze.
More than I assure you, I don't think it's due to optimistic thoughts.
"... that's not why Omei's friend is the king, is it?
There is no such thing as friendship between nations.
Even if the top of the country are friends with each other, it's different from this.
Countries that prioritize their emotions are bound to be poked and collapsed there.
Because we understand that, friendships are never formed between nations.
Especially since Radius is not long founded, or tends to give priority to his interests as a nation by the time he is excessive.
It's like Stina knows it hasn't been a year and six months since we packed it here.
Even though I say something, there is no way that Iori, who sees everything in the kind of report, doesn't know about it.
Ioli shrugged her shoulder with a bitter smile as she stared jiggly thinking about it.
"Of course I'm not thinking about that. Not from the report, but directly from Soma. If that's not in the interest of the country, maybe he'll cut me off at his leisure.... I know you're ready to be an asshole, but it's my fault, so I can't say anything. Well, on the contrary, if it's in the interest of the country, they could ignore some sense."
"You're just talking about the possibility... that's not the one with the good odds, either, right?
"That's not true, is it? At least I think there's a chance I can compete."
"... what is the basis for that?
Honestly, I don't think Stina has that much chance.
Rather, he even thinks it's low.
Because the Demons want to make a country.
That means we're not just being driven to one place, we're trying to wrap it up there.
This place now remains in a state of well-being because Iori's becoming the Demon King minimized his grudge with his surroundings.
By not attacking from here, but as a side of the battle, it is not a problem to leave it alone, or the priority is low.
But trying to build a country, instead of turning it all upside down, is like oiling a fire.
Now is the time when countries have come to take their hands seriously and destroy them, no wonder.
"Hmm, I think Stina's idea basically ends with concern, huh? At least they won't try to destroy us."
"... what makes you think that?
"Because there is no lead or gatherer. I've been working on both of them. Veritas is the one. We may be able to temporarily bring the country together for the Demonic Crusade, but that will be the best we can do, we have no other power to turn it around."
"Then wouldn't other countries do it?
"I can't do that either. When the last Demon King crusader, we betrayed each other. If you become a suspect that it's going to happen again, no one's going to try. Maybe they'll stab you in the back this time."
"So you don't even get involved, do you mean?
Stina felt something unspeakable in Ioli, who nodded that was the case.
I don't know what to say... I don't know if I want people to be stupid.
"Well, you don't care about that if it's the Soma one, or you ignore it. If they betrayed me, that's when I'd say it was, or something, and you wouldn't actually care. He's a good cracker. On the other hand, it's like he believes in human goodness. Understanding that there is malice and goodness, we can expect goodness to surpass it, and so on."
"Oh, I'm not listening to him now! So? Even if it doesn't get entangled, it's definitely going to be dangerous, right?
"No, I don't think so. Especially Radius. That place is basically hostile, even though it's a truce with Veritas now. That would have to go away without much leeway. Turn the Demon Clan completely against the enemy. It's Radius who will perish, isn't it?
"... even though the soma annoys you, is it?
"He's a minor. Rumors have it you're indwelling on the next king of swords, but even so, as a nation, you can't count it as a force of war. Or do you think Soma would join in if we declared that we were going to make a country and Radius was going to march this way?
"... you feel like you're going to bust those guys trying to march the other way"
I can imagine it's possible.
And that prediction, maybe, is not wrong.
"Right. And in fact, he will. Anyway, if this is a clear threat and we're gonna do something to them, at least we're not gonna do that. He'll stand on our side."
"... isn't that trust as a friend?
"What's wrong with that? He's still a minor, like I said, and he's not moving as part of the country. You got no problem with that, do you?
I thought that was reasonable, but I can't actually say it stronger than Stina thinks it is, either.
He is a troublesome person, whether he is at all or not.
"That's why we can't turn the Demons against our enemies. What if the other way around?
"The other way around?
"Yes, I regard the Demons as allies. Then Radius could have an ally country next door. Not an unofficial ceasefire or anything, but a complete ally. We will be able to work together in dignity. That would undoubtedly be in Radius's interest, wouldn't it?
"Uh... I see you're falling asleep, huh? Why don't you wash your face?
To not many words, though Stina returned it that way, it would be helpless too.
If it's not bullshit, what the hell is it?
