The representatives were called together the next day.
It was decided to have a discussion with Magali.
She gave a small smile.
“Hoh …… Inviting me continuously? I hope your new wife doesn’t get jealous.”
Oh, yeah, she’s like the unpopular woman Silvana.
Like her vector, though.
When I told them about my concerns, they all turned serious.
Magali, the ill-natured old woman, has a serious look on her face.
“Well, it’s certainly possible if they try.”
“The most important issue here is the safety of the children.”
Touko, the muscle-brain representative, leaned forward.
As expected, he was in charge of physics.
“We can just hit the cat people before they cause any problems.”
Charles folded his arms with a reluctant look on his face.
“The damage could be catastrophic if we run into them while they’re waiting for that.”
I guess I should do a simple prediction of the future so that everyone is not too conscious of the cat person.
“If we can survive this migration, the cat people are almost over.”
Magali the ill-natured old woman laughed in amusement, as if playing with a new toy.
“What tricks are you going to do?”
“Nothing.”
“Will it end even if you don’t do anything?”
“I’m not going to do anything. I won’t.”
Oracio makes a face like it’s incomprehensible.
“Milord, what is going to happen?”
""
I smiled a little wickedly.
“It’s simple. The group of Ms. Plunkett’s people will be moving here. Then, then abandoned farmland will become a breeding ground for the wild boars.”
They looked up at the sky, imagining a horde of wild boars.
Gerald chuckled.
“I think I’m going to dream about wild boars.”
Magali, the ill-natured old woman, chuckled.
“That’s really vicious. It was a good thing we raised the white flag so quickly.”
So now we just have to do our best to outrun the crisis in advance.
“Aside from that, how do we ensure the safety of the children? In addition, we need to make sure that Ms. Plunkett’s group doesn’t feel unsafe.”
Delphine raised her hand.
“Erm …… I’ll try to get the kids to stick together as much as possible then. Right now, the children are divided into three groups, right? One is helping with work. Children who are studying. Children who are too small to go outside. The children who are stuck together should have a guard. Children who are at home should always be with their parents. Now they were going home by themselves, but let’s have them be escorted by their parents. This will ensure a minimum level of safety.”
That’s a fair point.
I guess it comes more from her caring nature than her experience at the counter.
Mil nodded his head, looking a little uneasy.
“Wouldn’t it be suspicious if they suddenly changed their mind when Ms. Plunkett’s group arrives?”
They all pondered.
You don’t have to think too hard.
“We can just start before they arrive.”
Kiara looked convinced.
“Then we won’t be suspected.”
This topic was settled.
◆◇◆◇◆
I cleared my throat and suggested a change of subject.
“And as I’ve suggested before …… I’d like to decide on the laws of Ravenna. It takes time to enact a law, but we will make a public announcement that we will enact a law.”
Charles shrugged his shoulders.
“So …… Milord, do you have a draft of the law? I’m sure you’ll tell us that we’ll have to figure it out from there.”
I took a deep breath.
We need to talk about the starting point for enacting the law.
“First, the scope of the law. What are the limits of what constitutes a crime, such as murder, injury, or fraud? Then, the sentence for the crime. However, laws can become complicated later on, so we should try to keep it simple at first.”
They all remained silent.
I need to present the next point.
“In addition, the enactment of laws is based on the principle of priority of subsequent laws. The reason is that if the previous law is given priority, the government officials will have too much power.”
In Japan, the bureaucracy has become too powerful because of the priorities of the law.
Even if the politicians try to make a decision, the bureaucrats can interfere by bringing up any precedent they want.
I looked around at the group again.
This is not enough.
“There is a related matter that needs to be decided. The establishment of a police force. And the establishment of a justice system to judge the guilty, which is the purpose of administering the law. That’s all.”
They all stared at me.
He’s saying something outrageous again.
Their eyes all said so.
