"What's wrong?

Knight Commander Lancelot asked with great pleasure.

"I'm surprised the terms are more generous than I expected. I was expecting you to make a more outrageous offer. I thought you were going to make a more outrageous offer.

To be honest, even if I were to be released, I was considering the possibility of being held for years. From our point of view, it was just a reckless invasion, but from their point of view, it was a legitimate war conducted under the direction of the state, and the beasts were the spoils of war. A country or an organization is basically concerned with its reputation.

It's a difference of opinion. As far as I'm concerned, it's a good thing for the city to take in the beasts that will bring trouble in a different way later on. So what's the problem? We were upset about that so-called war, too. Except for human-supremacist idiots like that unconscious Adolf over there. "It's not as rotten as I thought.

So it's not as rotten as I thought. But that's still a problem. There are a certain number of human-supremacist idiots like Adolf who will do something about it while I'm on the move.

I see, but do people who think like Adolf think that's a good idea? "I see, but would people who think like Adolf be okay with that?

I've already sent out a notice to gather the beasts here, including the villages. I've also told them that they will be severely punished if they hide them or harm them. This is a rare and interesting deal... no, a big deal. It's a fool's errand to undermine his trust. Now, these fools, can't they come up with something interesting?

"Something interesting, yes... I'd sooner beat them to a pulp in public, but... yes! Let's make it a duel. One of us and a group of volunteers who don't like the idea of freeing the beastmen. I'll fight them all at the same time by myself. If they lose, they won't complain. And they won't complain or listen to you afterwards.

I'm sure you'll catch some interesting idiots. It would be an interesting spectacle. Let's see how they move and divide themselves and use that for future personnel decisions. The last one is a battalion commander's hack.

That last one was Battalion Chief Hammond. It's going to be a spectacle, after all. I wonder who's hosting the bet... I'd like to see a little pairing.

So when he wakes up, we'll tell him what we've decided and we'll go from there. Don't get on it right away anyway. It's too boring to negotiate. Thank you.

Thanks for the clarification. The fact that you are clear about black and white, right and wrong, is also very knightly and pleasing. I'm afraid of what will happen if I trust him too much.

Let's just work out the details of the improvements and refinements before he wakes up. Let's start with a lecture on hygiene. Why do we need to be clean? What exactly is wrong with us? What exactly is wrong with it and how can it be improved? What should we do to maintain it? And so on. To begin with, the most obvious answer is that maintaining proper hygiene can reduce the chance of a baby dying before the age of three by more than 30%. This is on the condition that they are able to eat a minimum of proper food. The fact is that this 30% is not enough.

The fact is that this 30% is not just a guess or a hunch, and if we are not careful, the effect may be so great that 30% is not enough. This is because even on Earth, the mortality rate actually changes by about 30% depending on the presence or absence of sanitation. That is how weak babies are, and they need to be raised carefully and with proper knowledge. A child is a treasure.

"Thirty percent...that much of a difference? Are you sure?

"Correct, at least 30 percent. In addition, the mortality rate of adult diseases will be much lower, and there is a possibility of stopping the outbreak of epidemics, and although I don't have much medical knowledge, I can tell you how to deal with epidemics. "Masaru...

"Masaru... who are you really? I'm not sure what you're talking about. That's why there are no researchers and no results because of the danger. And you're just going to give it away for free to save others? If you have a plan, tell me as soon as you can and I'll help you as Commander of the Coast Guard. No, no, no. I just thought it was a little too much to ask in exchange for those beasts. It's in the nature of my job that I don't like to be in debt. What a refreshing man.

What a refreshing person you are. There's no point in holding back in a situation like this.

"Well, why don't we just do the best we can today and borrow the forge tomorrow? Would you be able to prepare the materials? ...I need to improve my carriage and there are many things I want to try... "Good.

"Very well, I will arrange for the forge to be ready for use tomorrow. Actually, we have a good forge, but we don't have many craftsmen. It's a remote area, and the best craftsmen are usually found in the big cities. Thanks to that, we have plenty of materials in stock. Hahahahaha .... It's not funny.

It's no laughing matter. I know that the Knights' base needs a place to maintain their weapons, and they need the equipment, but how can they buy badly stocked ores and ingots when they're obviously not being used and the residents are living in such poverty!

I've got a lot on my mind, but... Please prepare your writing materials. I'm going to give you a lecture on hygiene. As you listen to the lecture, please take notes on what you think is necessary. Please show your notes to each other and discuss them again. Each of you will write differently, but at first, please try to record as much as possible in your own way. After reviewing, we will test you further to see if you have understood. Please try your best to remember so that you don't say you can't do it when I leave this city. I'll be back.

At these words, everyone's face scrunched up. Erdam, who was standing behind me, opened the door gently and tried to run away, but I said, "Bring Cook instead. Then you can run," he said, and disappeared with surprising speed.

"We'll get our smartest men, too. ....

To those who tried to flee, he said, "Please make sure you bring them in one by one yourself. If they escape, we'll lecture them again individually. If he escapes, we will lecture him again. Then they all ran out of the room at once. The only one left was the civilian attached to the commander.

Then, you will prepare a memo pad for all of them and the subordinates they will bring. It would be unacceptable for them to be ignorant, so let's have them study together with their subordinates. You can't have them not know.

Aside from Erdam, I didn't tell any of the other members that they could escape the lecture. The more people you have to remember, the better, of course. "You tricked me! It was only a few minutes later that I heard a voice shouting.

...You'd better get up now, Adolf.
