When I was talking to the cooks, Neil and the others came to the guest room, so the cooks left, and Takeo and Meyer had tea with the second princes to make it perfect.
"Takeo. Thank you for your hard work.
"His Royal Highness Neil. Thank you for making arrangements for the inn.
"No, no.
It's so cheap to see Takeo's aid to us so far.
If it's true, I would have liked to invite you to this mansion... because there's Lynette here on the boulder.
I weighed myself in there.
"Was I?
But that inn alone is much appreciated.
I'm tired of all the faces I'm bringing in, no matter what I say.
While I know its condition, I couldn't put you in a very good place to stay because of the funds... so I really appreciate it.
Takeo laughs bitterly.
"Right. I'm glad you think so.
So. What do you say? So the job's done okay?
Neil sounds like he's having fun.
"Ha. Let's talk about that now.
But... Pana first.
"Yes. Takeo.
Pana walks out of Takeo's chest pocket and stands human on the side.
"See how His Highness Lynette is doing.
That's the top priority.
"Yes."
When Pana went to Lynette's side and sat in an in-person chair and started asking questions, Lynette started answering seriously.
Klina sits beside Lynette adultly and listens seriously to Pana's inquiry.
"... I'm sorry.
Neil says as he looks at Lynette.
"I need you to have it right.
"Lynette does that about twice a day.
"I can't tell if it's more or less.
"Ah. Me, too.
He says, "It's better than training."
"Is my mother strong...?
"I hope so.
Both of the other consorts died of illness.
I want Lynette to have a full life span.
"Is it because His Highness Amy has become a firm man?
"Well.
... now firmly... the child deserves it, but my wife wants to be well, too.
"... I thought I'd just have to take care of it every day."
Takeo tends to lay low.
I couldn't be here in time for normal care to go back to the way it was a day ago.
If you don't know it and the devil is invading you, you won't be able to help until you discover it.
"Right.
... Now that the magician resides, I don't think there's a problem.
I'm careful.
"Yes."
Takeo snorted.
"How was the Willip Union?
"If it's a bracket called the Willip Union... it's a normal state.
"Normal..."
"We can rely on slaves for our workforce, or we can treat slaves poorly, but as a nation, we have an administration, and we're not insecure... normal.
"Hmm... was it a bad way to ask?
What do you think if you saw it as an enemy country?
"Productivity takes a highly productive system: the workforce buys with money.
That is not only in agriculture, but also in commerce and in making goods.
If it is then a battle, it is fully possible that a person specialized in the battle will be deployed.
Especially if we are going to make a full-scale invasion, it won't be surprising that those who command will attract quality people from all over the country.
"... good quality or...
How much do you think Takeo looks like?
"I thought the worst was everyone in the Knights class.
"... well.
Do we have to defend ourselves against such a state opponent at least?
What do you think of the numbers?
"10,000 won't be weird to be here.
"So much!?
Where do you fund your purchase... I see. Is that why you are a slave?
Neil roars with a wrinkle between his brows.
"I wonder if it would not be possible to assume that there would be about 40% of the cost involved and three times the net gross margin and tax revenues, simply because we had the national power to make as much cereals and cereals as we did.
And I think we will spare no effort to put the Knights class soldiers on the front line and consume them.
"... you can't say anything.
"Yes, I think they can because they can see slaves as objects..."
"... right.
It's incomprehensible that even when a soldier dies, there's only a degree of sentiment to which things have broken, but...
I guess that's what slaves are for.
The morale of the army is not high. Or we can work together.
"I don't know if you have high morale or can't work together... but at least I see that individual soldiers outperform their abilities.
"Right.
What if you're optimistic the other way around?
"... would there be about 5,000 goblins or oaks and 2,000 human knights?
"... that's a hard number.
"The specific assumptions will be considered by Lord Alderson.
"I hope so.
I wonder if you can think of something as bizarre as Takeo.
Neil thinks.
"I don't think it's how bizarre things you think, it's how you can put out an operation that can convince everyone.
If it's an operation he's convinced to set up, he won't have a problem with even being told it's bizarre from around him.
And I personally don't think it's bizarre.
I just took safety precautions, even if I prolonged them somewhat to make less sacrifices to win.
"Right.
I'm sorry about that.
"No. On the contrary, if everyone thinks it's bizarre, it means there's still a way.
That's good information for me.
"That's positive.
"We just do our best to make sure there are fewer victims.
"Right.
The rest will be judged by the King's Capital.
Whatever they say, I want Takeo to be honest with you about his feelings in the Wilip Union.
"I'm going to do that more than I did.
The rest is for the directors of the Wang capital to decide.
Takeo snorted.
