923 Christina with Tearful Eyes

"... you're doing something incredible, Mr. Alphonse.Are you sure you're okay? "

"Don't worry, Christina, I've got a lot of excuses to explain to the Orient Nation."

"... it doesn't mean I feel like I'm causing problems when I'm saying excuses.Ah, I thought Alphonse might be more discreet, but he was such a bold kid.Maybe we should rethink it a bit. "

"Really? Maybe we should change our perception.Rather, I think I've been doing all the plain stuff myself. "

We have returned from Purge Town to New Balka Town.

Even if there is some movement in Purge City, I will place a few more mercenaries in the village where I first discovered the enemy.

And the rest of them came back with their treasures in their cars.

When I checked with Christina, who is familiar with the product, about the valuation of the treasure, I was told that way.

Apparently, I had a cautious personality in Christina.

I wonder.

I don't think I really understand my personality.

However, I do seem to have been acting with caution lately.

Since I came to Orient, I've basically been working to build this hub called the New Balkans.

The mercenary regiment was sometimes small and could not be very indifferent.

That's why I think I've been doing things other than gathering and educating orphans, recruiting mercenaries, building cities, producing senators, and fighting.

But that wasn't exactly what I wanted to do.

All I did was prepare myself to fight in battle.

And I think I'm getting ready for that somewhat.

Then we'll just have to move on.

The battle awaits me.

"Don't you have to be so radical?Alphonse is already strong, and I think you can be rich just by making and selling a lot of things in this city. "

"That's no good. In that case, I can never beat my brothers.We need to grow stronger and bigger to beat our brothers. "

"Yeah, I've never met him, but Alphonse really has a big influence on you guys.But I see. The opponent is a king, right? Hmm. "

Listening to me, Christina has a hard face.

But only brother Ars is king, and his part-time brother and brother Kyle are aristocrats, so it's a little different.

While correcting that, there are many thoughts in my mind.

I told Christina, but the behavior may look a lot different from before from the surroundings.

In my case, it was the established route to battle, but that wouldn't be the case for others.

And it's a bit annoying to be told by people around you.

This time, we use village security as a reason for fighting in Purge City.

That doesn't change.

But besides that, it might be better to have a convenience to fight for versatility in the future.

I also think it would be better if it had nothing to do with the Orient country or its parliament.

It would have been better if the village guards had given up their duties in the name of the cause when they saw the problem.

"Ah, maybe you're not thinking about something really evil right now?"

"No, no, I'm not thinking about evil.What are you talking about? "

"Hmm. I mean, I'm looking really bad now, Mr. Alphonse.If it was a prank, it would be childish, but in Alphonse's case, it wouldn't be. "

"I was just thinking about the future.I was wondering how I could make a reason to fight anytime, anywhere. "

"... hah, I don't really want to hear about it.But how can I not ask?What are you going to do about it? "

"Oh, will you listen to me? I've been thinking about how to intervene in combat anytime, anywhere.How about helping people? "

"... help people? What do you mean? Why fight for help?"

"We Balkan mercenaries are a group hired to fight for money.That means the employer is not limited to the country of origin.Anyone who asks for a job is likely to accept it.So, if there's anyone in trouble asking us for help, we'll be there any time.Of course, there are ways to help them like mercenaries. "

"... I'm sorry, I have no idea what that means.So, what do you mean, outside of Orient Country?Who's going to ask for help? "

"Let's keep the doors wide. He's asking God for help."

"No, I have no idea. Please, make it easier to understand, crush it and explain, Mr. Alphonse."

When she heard my thoughts, Christina said so with tears.

Exactly. I might have just drawn a little too much conclusions.

I thought so, and I started explaining to Christina about the future policy that I just came up with.
