Chapter 200 - If it's too much trouble, set it on fire
The discussion with Miss Kriemhild ended.
The probability of sudden hostile action is low.
We would have to wait and see.
Then one day.
We received the results of the investigation of the destroyed cat tribe.
Kiara presented me with the report.
“It seems that the cat tribe’s village is now uninhabited.”
I scratched my head as I looked at the report.
“Hmm, did they abandon the village …… or was it wiped out?”
Kiara tilted her head and gave me a surprised look.
“So it wasn’t wiped out?”
“You heard about it from Miss Kriemhild, didn’t you? That there were some bad rumors.”
Kiara’s eyes narrowed as she remembered those words.
“Do you think that the survivors of the cat tribe are planning something?”
“Honestly, I can’t say for sure. She may have simply heard an unfounded rumor.”
Kiara sighed, as if she had no idea what to do.
“You are saying that it is impossible to determine at this time?”
“I think we should keep it in mind as a possibility.”
“We can’t afford to have them stirring things up behind our backs.”
“If the cat tribe becomes connected to Dorius, it’ll be troublesome.”
Mil, who had been silently listening to the conversation, leaned forward.
“But they’re all about human supremacy, aren’t they? They don’t listen to cat people.”
“But there is a possibility that they will take advantage of the surrounding beastmen and incite them. We’re the ones they’re afraid of, after all.”
Mil shook her head in astonishment.
""
“They’re such a pain in the ass ……”
“Not really. Actually, it’s easier if they stick together.”
Kiara gave me an expectant look.
“What will you do, brother?”
Even if you expect of me that much, there’s no quick solution for that, you know ……
“A mouse has escaped into the grass. If we leave it alone, it will spread disease, what should we do in this case?”
Kiara sighed as she imagined the grass and the rat.
“It’s impossible to search for them all at once.”
Mil looks at me and opens her mouth.
“Al wouldn’t take the time and trouble to do it himself, would he? “
You really know me, after all
I kept my smile on my face and kept quiet.
Kiara seemed to have thought of something.
She clapped her hands together.
“It’d be easy if we cook the whole grass.”
Mil looked shocked.
“No, it’s definitely easier, but ……”
I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Isn’t it fine?”
Kiara’s happy face and Mil’s astonished face.
The contrast between the two is interesting.
“It’s not like we’re going to physically burn them or wipe out the rest of the tribe.”
Mil glared at me with a frown, seemingly a little dissatisfied.
“I know what you mean. I just don’t see what you’re talking about.”
“Let’s say the grass is the anxiety of the other tribes.”
“Can you make other people’s fears disappear?”
“In a situation like this, it’s better to take the straight and narrow approach than to play tricks. It’s only an aid.”
Kiara tilted her head and seemed unsure of what I meant.
“The straight way?”
“If the cat people were to spread rumors, it would be one thing. They’ll say that we are a dangerous group of people who spread plague and wipes out an entire tribe. This rumor is the disease.”
Kiara laughed, as if to say it was troubling.
“You’re partly right, aren’t you?”
“If it weren’t, the rumors wouldn’t spread. Some truth mixed with a lot of wishful thinking. Otherwise, vice versa is most effective.”
Kiara urged me happily.
“So, how do we burn them down?”
The way she said it sounded dangerous.
“We won’t attack them unless they commit treachery. The rest of us will be on equal footing when we join up. And even though they were hostile, we helped the cat people who suffered from the plague. All we have to do is spread the truth.”
“How do you want to spread the word?”
I laughed.
“We’ve just found someone who can help you spread the word, don’t we? Someone who really wants to get to know us.”
Mil and Kiara looked at each other.
I’ll add one last thing to that.
“She’ll pick up the truth and bring them back on her own, without us having to do anything. That’s why I’m not restricting her.”
Kiara looked at me with sparkling eyes.
Mil had a look on her face that said, “So you’ve been planting a lot of stuff again”.
