Retired adventurer immigrants are likely to come individually.
As for accepting them, I’ll leave that to the Ministry of Immigration.
In the first place, I don’t have time to meet with them individually anymore.
So I decided not to meet with them unless there was something special.
I feel that the bureaucracy is slowly being established.
Most importantly, the person in charge has started to use his or her head and do trial and error.
I am really happy about this.
Subordinates want to conform to the tastes and preferences of their superiors …… Was it true what they said?
Even before I was reincarnated, I wasn’t a member of the “company = life” generation of the Showa era, so I didn’t understand why subordinates would want to conform to their boss’ hobbies.
When you’re the top executive, there are times when the power of your influence scares you.
It was hard to put on a grim face.
They seem to be struggling with the prisoner’s interrogation, but I decided to keep my mouth shut and watch.
If I were to interfere carelessly, they will keep expecting more of you.
In the meantime, I received a report that Kriemhild had arrived surprisingly quickly.
Depending on what kind of results we get and what she says, we may have to bring up the issue.
When I went to the reception room, I found Kriemhild waiting for me, dressed in a more feminine outfit than last time.
It was easy to see where this was heading.
If I looked too closely at her, the women on either side of me would look at me stricter, so we both sat down and got down to business.
“Thank you for coming all this way. What can I do for you today?”
Kriemhild smiled.
“Yes, we would like to move to Ravenna. I have come to request for that because the tribe has come to a consensus.”
“I see. But first, there is something I really need to confirm.”
Kriemhild probably has a different expectation, of course she does.
She wasn’t shaken and kept smiling.
“What is it?”
“Do you know the story of the woman who was offered as tribute by the demon tribe to the apostle?”
Kriemhild was still smiling, but her eyes narrowed in alarm.
“The Apostle does not accept women as tribute, does he?”
“Yes, in that pretense. But if the woman being offered has been brainwashed since she was a child, that would be a different story.”
Kriemhild did not change her expression.
“I don’t know that much about it, so I can’t answer that question, but …… Is that what you want?”
Oh no, the discussion has turned a strange way.
I waved my hand hurriedly.
“It’s not that. Did you know that there was once a girl who escaped the fate of being a tribute?”
Kriemhild stared at me, then averted her gaze.
“I think there was such a fairy tale, but I don’t …… remember much about it.”
“If it is a fairy tale.. then the demon tribe will consider her a traitor and denounce her …… Isn’t there any such lore?”
At this point, Kriemhild seemed to have realized my main point.
She closed her eyes for a moment, and then her face turned serious.
“I’m sure you’ll accept anything as long as it doesn’t violate Ravenna’s laws. Isn’t that right?”
“Yes.”
After a ten-second silence, Kriemhild opened her mouth.
“Even if you expect an opposition from the demon tribe, you still accept the lineage of Kriemhilde?”
Kriemhilde? Sisters?
No, they’re too different in age.
“I’ve never heard the name Kriemhilde before, though. Nevertheless, I have no right to deny the opposition of the demon race. But we are not obligated to obey them either. Let’s say that the demon tribe is opposed to Ms. Kriemhilde’s actions. And If Ms. Kriemhilde asks for Ravenna’s protection, we will accept it as long as it does not violate Ravenna’s laws.”
Kriemhild is still silent as ever.
She seems to be waiting for a word from me.
If I say words, they will be words that show my true intentions.
The only way to do this is, to be honest.
“Even if it is against the law …… its descendants will not be blamed. That’s what I think. Unless, of course, their descendants have broken the law. The guilt lies solely with the individual.”
Kriemhild nodded, perhaps she heard the words she wanted.
“I understand. You have brought up something I had not expected. I’d like to tell you something about the past too.”
I nodded in silence.
Kriemhild closed her eyes and opened her mouth.
“There was once a time when Kriemhilde and Kriemhild were close sisters. Kriemhilde was particularly good-looking, and people hoped that she would become the Apostle’s lover.”
That’s the first time I’ve heard about sisters.
I guess Ms. Despina didn’t know that either.
“Kriemhilde was taught to adore the Apostle from a young age. Kriemhild told the adults that she wanted to be the same way.”
Kriemhild opened her eyes, but her face was bitter.
“They said, “Your appearance is not worthy of being an apostle”. There didn’t seem to be that much difference in appearance, but …… the size of her breasts was different.”
Oh, come on, seriously?
I naturally had an unpleasant expression on my face.
Kriemhild seemed a little surprised to see that.
“When Kriemhilde learned of this and she questioned for the first time. Then she saw Kriemhild in grief, her heart began to ache.”
I just shook my head.
It’s a crazy world, but that was normal for its inhabitants, right?
When Kriemhild saw me, she gave a small smile.
“One day, Kriemhilde thought, “If I disappear, wouldn’t Kriemhild be chosen?”, so she ran away from everyone by herself.”
The story is a little different, but the gist of it is as I heard it.
I silently nodded for her to continue.
Kriemhild nodded.
“We never found out where Kriemhilde went after that. She may have died, or she may have fallen in love with an adventurer and given birth to a child …… But for Kriemhild, it was the beginning of despair.”
