Another month later, the potatoes arrived early.
I had Mil identify all of them.
She endorsed that they were derived from different stalks, so I instructed her to grow them.
The plague is almost under control.
We are beginning to pull up those who are engaged in treatment.
There are 204 cat tribesmen, 104 fully cured, 80 dead, and 10 seriously ill.
Currently, there are 35 remaining citizens engaged in treatment and 1 death.
After all, almost half of the cat tribesmen are dead…
Call me cold-blooded, but I won’t feel much emotion about the number of dead cat tribesmen.
I feel sorry for them, but I can only imagine the number of deaths on TV.
If I had to seriously think about the life and death of non-citizens, I wouldn’t be able to handle it.
For me, one dead dog tribesman is more important than 40 dead cat tribesmen.
I really wanted to give them a proper burial.
At the very least, it would have been nice if I could have given some peace to the bereaved family.
If I had said such a thing in my previous life, I would have been beaten to a pulp.
Certainly, there is no nobility in life.
But the weight you feel depends on your relationship with that person.
I don’t care if the cat tribesmen that resent me for the friends they couldn’t save.
The weight is different, you know.
The mother and child of Ardelheid’s friend who survived would be heavy for Ardelheid.
But to me, they are two out of 204.
I don’t care if Ardelheid blames me for my thoughts.
I’m not willing to accept that.
They are different personalities, so they carry different weights.
For me, Mil and Kiara are two irreplaceable people.
But to others, they are the wife and sister of the feudal lord.
That’s fine.
◆◇◆◇◆
In the meantime, the chief of the winged tribe asked for a meeting with me.
Lefi Streichwerda.
He’s Ardelheid’s father.
He seems to be scared of me, and trembling but ……
I’ve never threatened you, though.
“How may I help you? How can I help you, SIr Streichwerda?”
“Ha …… ah …… yes. It’s about my daughter, Ardelheid.”
I know what he’s going to say.
""
But it would not be in Ardelheid’s best interest to allow it.
“What about your daughter?”
“The plague is nearing an end. The two people my daughter wanted to help the most have been saved.”
Lefi pleaded with me while choosing his words carefully.
“May I call Ardelheid back?”
I said in a voice so cold that I surprised myself.
“No. She’ll be the last one to leave.”
Lefi was probably thinking because her daughter was cute, managed to resist.
“B-But …… She’s been working on the front lines for a long time.”
That’s because she wanted to take the risk of saving them.
It’s true that she keeps working, but she tries not to get so exhausted that she become susceptible to disease.
Mentally, though, it will be very hard.
""
“I won’t say it twice. It was her personal desire that got a lot of people involved. And there have been deaths.”
“Th-, that’s ……”
The temperature in my voice drops even lower.
“The dead died because of their own fault. If you say something like that …… you won’t get away with it.”
The pale face of Lefi stiffens.
“He died for her. The ultimate responsibility, of course, lies with me. But he died because he wanted to help her. I will not allow her to return because she has achieved her goal.”
I relaxed my expression a little.
“When she comes back, I will hold her accountable for this. But …… please welcome her kindly when she returns home.”
Ardelheid at least needs a place to rest.
But …… I’m not sure that Lefi got the message.
It’s not good for my mental health to ask and answer any more questions.
I’m going to take a no-nonsense attitude.
“If that’s all you have to say, please leave.”
Lefi left while still being stiff.
I couldn’t help but complain.
“Such a doting parent …… It’s not good for Ms. Ardelheid too. It’s not even good for the friend she saved.”
Why are you so narrow-minded ……?
You’re the chief, aren’t you?
Mil’s expression was indignant.
“Yes. Even I’m tempted to shoot out magic myself ……”
You’re getting faster and faster, aren’t you?
Kiara also looked unhappy.
“Aren’t everyone depending too much of brother?”
“Well, we can’t help it. I really think we should take a break somewhere ……”
""
Mil smiled and said.
“Oh my, that’s nice.”
◆◇◆◇◆
While I was trying to imagine a brighter future, Charles appeared after a long time.
“My lord, may I?”
“What’s the matter?”
“I don’t know if I should tell you at a time like this ……”
I have a bad feeling about this …….
But we must never cut off information.
“That’s fine. Just tell us.”
“We made contact with the rabbit tribe.”
Goodbye, my vacation.
