44 return meeting

『『『『『 I'm home! 』』』』』

Aside from the fact that the rabbit tribe's village was turned into a crucible of panic at the sound of his words, there are some things that are better left unsaid... What? There are some things that are better left unsaid... An emotional reunion? Yes, there was.

So, what exactly happened?

When the commotion in the village had died down, the leaders of the tribes, who had been released by Masaru and Adelina, were on their way to greet the chief of the Rabbit People.

I'm sure you'll be able to understand that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this. I'm not satisfied with Masaru's answer.

The chief, who was not satisfied with Masaru's answer, thought about it for a while and decided to resolve his questions one by one.

What exactly happened to the various things you mentioned?

"Since he doesn't seem to be aware of it, let me explain it to you. First of all, I would like to thank you for accepting us, chief. I am Adelina, the niece of the leader of the city of Portalim, the city of the Knights of the People. I'm Adelina.

"Really? I'm the niece of the leader of Portarym, a city of human knights.

The other day, this Masaru suddenly appeared in the city of Portalyme, and negotiated with my uncle Lancelot, who was in charge of the coastal district and the commander of the Order, who was in charge of the land where you were living. I told him of the folly of our people and appealed for the release of the beastmen in exchange for assistance in improving their living conditions. "Folly?

"Folly?

"He asked me what legitimacy and justice there was in fighting a war on your land, even though you were ordered to do so by your country, and then told me that it was foolish to use innocent people as bondage and labor. And?

"And?

My brainy uncle didn't like the way it was done, so he promised to release them on one condition. And?

That's how you improve your living conditions? That's not an easy thing to do... we who have been building the village from the ground up for the past two years know that better than anyone. We know that better than anyone.

"It was Masaru who did it in a few days, no, the very next day. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am sure that Portalim will gradually develop and grow. I am sure that Portalim will gradually develop and grow, not because of my country or my uncle, but because of his advice and ideas. It will be another battle.

"Doesn't that breed more fighting? It is the people who do the fighting when they can afford it, is it not?

Adelina could neither deny nor confirm this, and her face became bitter and her words choked.

I think you don't need to worry about that for the time being. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's a fan of your work. ...If this beastman settlement develops into a city, it will become a trading partner and benefit the city, and they won't let anyone else get their hands on it. I hope that's true.

I hope that's true, but won't other tribes come to fight us even if they don't make a move?

"If that happens, they will fight with us as enemies who threaten their lives and safety. They say that if that happens, they will fight with us as enemies who threaten our lives and safety.

Not only the chief, but also Adelina and the rest of the beasts were startled by these words. What? Didn't I tell you that?

I'm not sure what to do, but I'd like to set up a defense wall to ensure food and safety, and consider the location and size of the city. We need to consider the location and size of the city.

It's true that if we're going to have this many people living with us, we're going to need it. I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you. I'm sorry.

"Oh, I've collected a good amount of flour and dried fish, and I've got some of the tools necessary for pioneering. I've already got a rough idea of what it's going to look like... I wrote it out on a piece of parchment while I was at Portarym. If you build a city while adding things that are missing, you're more likely to have problems later. I'll show my uncle.

I wish my uncle could hear this: .... I wish my uncle could hear this.

I would like to show this to my uncle." He listened to the explanation with his mouth hanging open as ideas came out one after another.
