The funeral proceeded solemnly before the victory celebration.
At first, I thought about reading out the names of the victims, but decided not to because I would not be able to read out all the names if there were more victims in the future.
It would be a bad idea to read out the names once and then not do it again because of the increase in the number.
Instead, we decided to erect a stone monument in the cemetery with the names of the dead.
I asked them to make multiple monuments, going back to the previous battles.
The victory party that followed was…well, it was a blast.
I hope this will bring us closer together.
The victory party lasted for three days because everyone was pushing for it.
What a long time, right?
It’s hard to think calmly when you’re in the middle of a victory party, so I stayed in my office.
Mil and Kiara said they wouldn’t go if I didn’t attend, but I asked them to attend in my place.
They discussed which of them would attend and decided to take turns.
""
I want to keep my attendance to a minimum.
I’ve always been the type of person who likes to watch this kind of foolishness, but I’m not the type of person who likes to be at the center of it.
In my position, it won’t end with just watching.
Besides, I think it’s important to think about the future.
They’ve declared war on us, so we need to settle this.
It’s true that if we push ourselves, we can crush the enemy in one fell swoop.
But that’s only if everything goes according to plan.
So we need to withdraw our troops and re-establish our position.
If we fail, we will be destroyed.
The current number of troops we can move is 500, and no matter how you think about it, we can’t move now.
It would be bad if the enemy were to cooperate with the demons, but I’m not too worried about that.
There will be talk of an internal blame game, or that they lost because they fought with non-humans.
""
If they’re not careful, there’s even the possibility of a backlash against the beastmen by increasing the suppression to them.
It’s better to put this matter behind us.
Besides, they need to change their perspective.
There must have been more than one other tribe in this region.
What will happen when they find out about this.
I’ll have to make some moves.
It is possible that they will approach us and make a move.
If we are only passive, we might miss the timing.
While I was thinking about it, Gerald came over to me.
“What’s up? It’s okay to enjoy the victory celebration.”
Gerald narrowed his eyes and chuckled.
“Yes, it’s the first time my wife doesn’t have to worry about her race and she’s having a great time. My daughter has made some friends and is having a great time with them. It’s amazing how energetic kids are…”
The stamina of children at a festival is amazing, after all …
I laughed at the thought.
“Wouldn’t it be better if you stayed with them?”
“At my age, it’s hard to keep up with all that tension sometimes.”
Gerald turned serious.
“There are quite a few retirees moving here.”
Did they want to emigrate so badly?
“How many people?”
Gerald hesitated for a moment, then turned to me.
“About ninety.”
“That’s a lot of people. I wonder if someone put them together.”
Gerald shook his head.
“No, there was a famine in many parts of the country and they were having a hard time making ends meet, but they were also afraid to emigrate.”
I folded my arms, smiling at the human psychology I understood so well.
“I see, now that the guild has its own branch, they think it’s safe to come here.”
Gerald smiled and said that he wished they could have come earlier.
“Yes, and the treatment in this town is also well known. They said they’ve always been quite interested.”
“I understand. We’ll accept 90 people. I think we should stop inviting more people to move here.”
Gerald puzzled over the fact that everyone had accepted and that he couldn’t read my intentions regarding the cancellation.
“What do you mean?”
“The ones with poor behavior or gambled that has ruined their lives. I don’t want such people to come here thinking that they can just run away here. “
“Yeah, we can manage a few, but…”
“That’s how it is. If there are too many of them, we won’t be able to handle them.”
“I understand. Then I’ll tell Silvana to call it off.”
“Please do. If they have no problems, they’re welcome, but we won’t know until they come.”
Gerald chuckled as he looked at me with a worried look.
“It’s a lot of work, isn’t it?”
“It is. That’s why I’m trying to eliminate as many headaches as possible.”
After Gerald had left the room, I thought about it again.
He can train them, but they won’t be of much help …
Mil, who was staying in the house today, came up next to me.
“How hard can it be with 90 people?”
“That’s a lot for Mr. Rosa to follow up alone.”
Mil paused for a moment to think, then winked.
“We can put people who are retired and can be used in the Ministry of Immigration. You can basically keep them out of Mr. Rosa’s hands. If there’s anything they need, they can just ask him.”
Oh, that’s right.
I was thinking of leaving everything to the individual again.
I felt embarrassed and scratched my head.
“You’re right. It’s easy to fall into the habit of focusing on one person’s work…”
Mil chuckled, as if to say, “Seriously…”.
“You’ve been thinking so far ahead that you’ve lost sight of your feet?”
I shrugged my shoulders, thinking this was a bad idea.
“I had no words to reply. But that saved the trouble. Thank you.”
Mil smiled.
“You’re welcome. Why don’t you have a change of scenery sometimes?”
“A change of scenery?”
Mil leaned forward even more.
“Everyone asks me about the victory party. They ask me if Al is coming.”
“I don’t think that’s a change of scenery…”
“Alright, just come. We need to be out there together as a husband and wife sometimes! What if there are rumors about us not getting along?”
I was dragged out into the crowd, my words of rebuttal blocked.
The funeral proceeded solemnly before the victory celebration.
At first, I thought about reading out the names of the victims, but decided not to because I would not be able to read out all the names if there were more victims in the future.
