I couldn’t help but tell the two of them what I was thinking.
I can’t hide anything from these two people.
But I’m not uncomfortable with it.
This is not the same as …… taking advantage of people or making fun of them, as I understand it.
If I had to put it another way …… I’d say it’s embarrassing.
There’s a reason why I was thinking differently.
We’re continuing where we left off the day before, generally satisfied.
I didn’t have to constantly keep an eye on the discussion.
However, when the time came to make the final decision, everyone started to shy away and become reserved.
As a result of the discussion, we came up with two types of policies.
The first was that there were too many uncertainties in attacking now, so we should wait and see what happens.
The other is to ask the tiger, dog, and cat people to join us and see how they react.
No direct attack was taken immediately.
This is because there is no guarantee that the damage will be minimal.
They know that I don’t like unnecessary sacrifices.
I left the discussion to them and made it clear that I would take responsibility.
This makes it difficult for them to decide on anything that conflicts with my intentions.
They think that I would like to see this major policy maintained.
When sacrifices are easily tolerated, it becomes easy to jump to cheap and flashy achievements.
As a result, the socially vulnerable and sensible people will suffer.
People who speak loudly and bravely in times of peace tend to hide somewhere else when a crisis looms.
People who shout “Victory!”, and “Glory!” rarely expose themselves to danger.
People who have been silent until now sacrifice themselves to protect their families and friends.
The weak are sacrificed without a second thought.
When the crisis is over, the loudest voices come out of nowhere.
And they take the credit for the victims.
I’m not struggling to create such a world.
Until now, the world has taken sacrifice too lightly.
I abhor unnecessary sacrifice, and I will instill this intention.
But it is not the same as not being able to tolerate a single sacrifice.
Taking sacrifice lightly has simply been turned inside out, and nothing essential has changed.
There will be those who drag their feet, shouting for peace, for coexistence, for talking and understanding.
When a crisis looms, they will either hide somewhere or run away first.
Luckily, when the crisis is over …… they do the same thing all over again.
Or they blame the people who fought to protect everyone.
They blame the people who fought to protect everyone, or they blame the people who dragged their feet and blame the delay in response.
I guess it all comes down to balance.
As I was lost in my own thoughts …… I heard a voice calling out to me.
It was Kiara.
“What are you thinking about, brother?”
“No, I had no problem with where the discussion was going. So I just …….”
The teacher’s face turned to a perverted uncle face.
“You weren’t thinking about your night life, were you?”
Everyone laughed except for me, Mil and Kiara.
Mil blushed.
Kiara smiled affectionately.
But her eyes were not smiling.
“I’m not thinking about something that simple. I’m …… not as hungry for women as teacher is. So you don’t have to think so hard.”
This time, everyone laughed except the teacher.
Charles has a look on his face that says, “You decide the rest”.
“Well, my lord. We have almost exhausted the discussion. All that remains is for you to make a decision.”
“I think it would be best to ask them to join us. But …… I guess we’ll need to bring back some souvenirs.”
The teacher looked at me strangely.
“We’re in a better position than them, but we’re bringing something for them?”
I chuckled mischievously.
“The only problem is, there is only one souvenir …… so it’s a question of who to give it to.”
I’ve already decided on the right answer, but I’d like you to think about it if you can.
You have to think first, even if you’re wrong.
This is important.
If you don’t take even one step forward, you will never reach your destination.
There’s no way you’re going to come from your destination.
Charles was intrigued and leaned forward.
“Only one souvenir, huh? What exactly is it?”
“Yes, it’s a kind of harassing souvenir.”
Ludvig murmured with a faraway look in his eyes.
“Ahhhh …… My brother Mario, who was in charge of the letter from Lord Alfred to Miss Kiara, said something about that in the letter …… He said that it’s hard to take care of souvenirs that are life-threatening ……”
Kiara smiled.
“Oh, well that’s quite interesting. I think I need to talk to Mario about it, too.”
Ludvig makes a face that looks like he’s done it.
“W-Well, we should leave the thing about Mario for now…… The answer is the leader’s head, which was struck down in the last battle.”
The teacher, sensing my intentions, murmured in astonishment.
“Kiddo …… you really have a nasty personality.”
I couldn’t help but tell the two of them what I was thinking.
