Hurriedly, I greeted the tiger messenger.
Up close, he was huge and bulky.
I imagined it to be a hairy version of Tiger Mask …… or something like that.
Tiger Mask introduced himself without hesitation.
“I’m Touko Priyura.”
The Tiger Mask had maiden-like name.
There’s a huge gap between the two.
“I’m Alfred Della Scala. let us hear what you’re here for.”
“I’ll accept your offer of immigration.”
“Let me confirm. What is your remaining population?”
I’m not sure if they have much emotional upheaval, but …… I guess the tiger people don’t talk much.
In exchange, does their emotion explode in combat?
""
“80 men, 125 of women and children.”
“When will the preparations for the migration be complete?”
“It’s already done.”
That’s fast.
“Have you encountered any opposition to the move?”
“It’s been settled by fisticuffs of persuasion.”
Is that so ……
“I understand. I have a favor to ask you regarding the migration.”
“Is there anything we can do?”
“When you’re on the move, I would like you to go with the dog people.”
Touko’s eyebrows raised a little.
“You want me to escort the dog people as well?”
I shook my head quietly so as not to provoke their emotions.
“It’s not like that. I guess you’ve been recruited to fight alongside them too.”
“So the rumors of clairvoyance are true.”
I will have to be as polite as possible in my explanation.
It is essential to be careful not to hurt their pride.
“The fact that you refused could lead to an attack on you as well. We are just about to dispatch an escort of knights against the migration of the dog people. Therefore, it would be easier for us to escort you if you were all in one group. If the tiger people were to join the knights, it would be difficult for the enemy to get their hands on you.”
For this reason, Touko’s face became convinced.
“I understand.”
“How many days will it take to reach the dog village?”
“One day is enough.”
Is that close enough?
Or is it a forced march ……
“Then, I will send a messenger to meet you when you arrive at the dog village. We’ll bring you the food you’ll need until you arrive.”
“Then we’ll hurry back.”
“Before that, please tell me how much food the tiger people eat each day. I have to prepare.”
“I understand.”
After a brief exchange, the tiger messenger left.
It was the easiest negotiation I’ve ever had because it was so assertive.
I guess he’s saying he recognizes our capabilities.
If strength was the criterion, we could have destroyed the tiger people in half in a day.
That is …… If you consider intelligence to be power as well.
◆◇◆◇◆
It’s true that it saved my life because it’s going to be hard from now on.
“Sir Rossi, can you assign a few Knights to the defense?”
“I’ve got about 13. If you want to make sure you have the best protection. There are a lot of the tiger people, so it won’t be a problem to reduce the number a bit.”
“Then please make the necessary arrangements.”
“Don’t worry about the guards. More than that, worry about yourself, Milord.”
Charles bowed with a theatrical gesture and left.
“Kiara. Can I ask you to call for Ms. Silvana and teacher?”
“Yes, of course.”
With a flutter, Kiara left.
After she left, Mil stared at me.
As expected of my wife.
She can read my intentions immediately.
“There’s something you want to talk to me about, isn’t there?”
“Yes. It’s about Kiara …… Lately, she’s been getting more and more aggressive with me. I have to do something to stop her before she crosses the line. So I’m wondering what to do about it.”
“Kiara knows her limits, so let her do as she pleases.”
That was an unexpected answer.
“But, you know ……”
“Al means the whole world to Kiara. Please, don’t reject her.”
“I don’t have to reject her, she just have to keep a reasonable distance.”
It’s not a good idea …… Mir shook her head.
“Kiara knows that she will never be with Al. So, at least let Kiara do what she wants.”
Mil looked at me seriously.
“As Kiara’s sister, I’m begging you.”
Oh dear, I see that you’ve colluded somewhere ……
“I understand. But we are only brother and sister.”
Jules seemed to chuckle.
“Milord draws women in like a bottomless pit when he likes them, after all.”
It’s not a bottomless pit …… You make it sound like I’m a yandere ……
