After the meeting with Adelaida, I came back to the office.
I could finally catch my breath.
As I was pondering what to do next, Kiara came up next to me.
“Brother, is Ms. Bunny going to emigrate?
At this stage, I shrugged my shoulders.
“I don’t know, I can’t say yet ……”
“Which would you prefer, brother?”
Either way, I don’t see a problem.
She doesn’t seem like the type to conspire.
She seems very harmless.
If I had been deceived, I’d give up.
“Even if they go back, they won’t antagonize us, so I don’t mind either way.”
Mil seemed to wonder about my generosity.
“But wouldn’t that be to our detriment?”
Sure, if you’re only thinking about profit and loss.
“In the short term, yes. We’ve met the minimum conditions, so …… I’m fine with it.”
Mil wanted to know what I meant by minimum conditions.
“The minimum requirement is that we don’t antagonize each other?”
“Yes, if we wanted to, we could be favorably neutral. If we assume that they are going to emigrate, and later they notice that we have different perceptions, there will be problems.”
Mil pondered the problem.
Kiara saw this and puffed out her chest.
“It’s going to affect the other tribes, isn’t it?”
The two of them are quite competitive.
It has become a habit to think about it.
Well …… I guess it’s fine since they’re not bickering.
I guess it’s like communication between them.
“That’s right. We don’t have to make all of this region our territory. Everything’s fine as long as they don’t antagonize us. However, if we try to force them to migrate by attacking them or taking advantage of their weaknesses ……”
Mil nodded strongly, perhaps in agreement.
“They’ll be wary …… in the worst-case scenario, they’ll be hostile to us.”
Kiara becomes a little pissed off.
Calm down …… But lately, they are strangely competing with each other ……
Is it because of the lap pillow thing?
“After that, I don’t know how the demon tribe will move. So I think we should refrain from doing anything that might arouse suspicion.”
Mil seems convinced, and understands that the current situation is hectic.
“I agree. There’s a sudden increase in the number of people here, and I need some time to calm down.”
She’s getting a better perspective now that she’s closer to me and has a chance to see the whole picture.
""
That’s really encouraging.
I felt happy and nodded with a smile.
“Yes, you understand me very well.”
Kiara’s cheeks puffed up even more.
Then Oracio came in.
“My lord, the representative of the cat people who moved here has a favor to ask you.”
An important conversation, huh ……
“So it’s something that cannot be handled under your authority, Sir Oracio ……”
“Yes, he said he wants to work for my lord in some way.”
“All right, then. Led him through here, please.”
When Oracio left, I folded my arms and pondered.
Kiara’s face went from puffy to thoughtful.
“What do you have in mind?”
“Well, I’m wondering what the heck the cat person is good ……”
“Why don’t you just ask him?”
Ask him directly.
It’s not as simple as that.
“It’s not that self-reported and actual are the same thing. And ……”
“And?”
“They’re already citizens, but they have a history before coming here. I’m sure it’s hard for them to say with pride that they are citizens. It’s no wonder they want to make a name for themselves as soon as possible. In order to do so, they may want to take on dangerous missions and show off their contribution. I don’t want to make any unnecessary sacrifices as a result, though.”
Kiara’s thoughtful face returned to normal, but her cheeks remained slightly puffy.
I guess she’s in a bad mood.
“So what are you going to do about it?”
I shrugged my shoulders.
“I can’t say until I hear what he has to say.”
Oracio brought in a cat tribesman and introduced him.
“This is Mr. Adalberto Runyonichka, representative of the Cat Tribe.”
He is a man with a small build, brown hair, green eyes, and slightly brownish skin.
His movements were flexible.
Well, there aren’t many cats that are stiff.
The cat tribesman bowed.
“Thank you for allowing me to see you.”
Now …… let’s see what has to say.
“I heard that you wanted to work at something …… What is it that you guys are good at?”
Adalberto answered, standing tall.
I guess they want to contribute as soon as possible.
“I would like to say anything, but …… I’m told to give specific answers to my lord. Gather information using a stray cat as a familiar. Then we can move around the building without making a sound.”
Adalbert must have prepared some questions and answers on the way.
You answered without hesitation.
You have clearly answered the advantages of your race.
I guess he thought of the possible answers beforehand.
I see that he answered the bare minimum requirements.
Now it’s a matter of whether or not I can trust them.
“I see. What if I were to ask you to do that information gathering for your hometown?”
Of course, he will assume that.
Rather than that, I’d be troubled if he didn’t.
Adalberto was quietly staring at me.
After a while, he opened his mouth.
“We have been welcomed here if so ordered. We must show the appropriate attitude.”
That was exemplary.
It seems that he knows that an immediate answer, even if he doesn’t really mean it, is bound to raise suspicion.
He’s quite smart.
I’m not that smart myself, though.
I just look great because I’m going where no one else is thinking ……
I should probably ask around a bit more.
Now, let’s find out what the next response will be.
“You know how much I value information. To entrust it to you is to entrust our fate to you. Do you understand that?”
“I believe that information must come from us alone ……”
He’s much better than the previous messenger, Suzana.
I guess I’ll entrust him to do one thing.
This is the organization we want, and we can’t do anything if we keep doubting.
“Kiara, I have one request.”
Kiara seemed surprised by the suddenness of the conversation.
“You don’t need to preface it. I will do whatever my brother asks, after all.”
“I’ll leave him with you. Gather the right people from other races and create an intelligence unit that will report directly to me. I want you to be in charge of it.”
Kiara looked a little uneasy.
“Ah …… yes. I’d be happy to do it …… But will I be able to do it well ……”
Suddenly entrusting our fate, it seems that she was worried when I told that to him.
I smiled and reassured her.
“I can only ask Kiara to do it. I have so many things to do that I don’t have time to do them all.”
She stood up and said in high spirits.
“I understand! I’ll get it done! Oh …… what should we name the organization?”
Hmm? Oh, I guess we need one.
“I’ll leave it to Kiara.”
Kiara smiles.
“Then, I’ll pick “Alfred and Kiara’s Children”.”
Oiiiiiiii!
Mil turns red and stands up.
“Hey, hey! Don’t pick such a confusing name! No! I disagree!”
She can’t use that name she said ……
It’s no use for an intelligence unit to put on too much of a front.
I sighed largely.
“It can’t be helped …… Ravenna’s ears, please.”
If the name becomes too personal, it will be troublesome later on.
If possible, loyalty to the town is preferable.
Kiara puffed up for a moment, but then she smiled.
“I can’t help it, we’ll do it that way then.”
Adalberto had a look of disgust on his face.
That happened, after all ……
After the meeting with Adelaida, I came back to the office.
I could finally catch my breath.
