“I never thought you would agree so obediently.”
It was funny that we were worried that it would lead to violence, but the two people nodded obediently and let us go without a single complaint.
Considering that the place of conversation was the prime minister’s office, is it a bit strange to say that it was sent?
Anyway, considering the personalities of the two people, I thought they would at least say something like kidnapping me on the spot, or demanding new recruits.
Was it because of my preconceived notions about them being Gus’ parents that I thought they were too much of a mess?
As if that wasn’t the case, Rang glanced back and said with a sigh of relief.
“Yes, I was surprised too. Even though they are like beasts, parents may not have been able to step forward considering the safety of their parents and children.”
It is a famous story that threats and torture do not work on priests.
He must have thought that he couldn’t send me back to God’s arms, which might be his only lifeline now that he couldn’t confirm Gus’s safety.
Of course, we don’t know if the World Tree will really do that, but it is quite possible.
We moved to a remote area of the palace to avoid people’s eyes and stopped in the middle of a dark hallway without sunlight.
Lang glanced around, checked his surroundings several times, and placed his hand on the wall.
“Hmm… . I guess it doesn’t exist here.”
“What is it? Are you looking for a devil?’
“Even if they are not demons, there are plenty of familiars that eavesdrop on the surroundings. The royal palace is like a ranch where such familiars gather, so you have no choice but to be careful.”
“Isn’t this where the king lives?”
“If a scarecrow could be called a king, yes. The current royal family is like a scarecrow. Even if I slap His Majesty right now, nothing will happen… You may not be able to pass over, but you will not lose your position as prime minister.”
The situation in the kingdom is so serious that such joke-like words seem realistic.
When the first king betrayed Hanji, he probably wanted a country where the royal family was truly the master.
The fake warrior clan inherited the royal blood, so things worked out as he had hoped, but I’m not sure if he would have been happy to see the current kingdom.
“Nowadays, the royal family is divided into two categories: either fools who are drunk on alcohol and women, or wise people who understand their situation and humble themselves. The Princess Friede we will meet now falls into the latter category.”
“Friede… . She was definitely the third princess, right?”
“Yes. When the warrior faction is driven out and he is put on the throne, the prime minister faction will truly take over everything in this country.”
There is no need to change the dynasty.
As I once said, if you stand on top of a king without having to wear the annoying armband called king, you are no different from being a king.
“ Are you trying to make that princess a king?”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s someone else, but he is a lovely person in many ways. Just like you. But… .”
“Huh?”
“What on earth do you want, Mr. Felt?”
“What do you want?”
“Everyone has desires. Whether you simply want to gain money or fame, or you want to achieve some goal.”
There is no human being in this world without desire.
It is not limited to worldly greed for money or fame, but the desire to save others can certainly be called desire.
If there were a person in this world without desires, he would be a plant-like person without any goals and with all emotions castrated.
“If you find out another person’s desires, you can understand their psychology to some extent. So when I meet someone, I first think about what that person wants.”
“That’s an interesting perspective. So what is this ultimately about?”
“Felt County. I don’t see your desires. You may seem obsessed with money, but to you, money was ultimately just a means. Looking at my consumption so far, it seemed like money itself was not the goal.”
“It’s too snobbish to be obsessed with money. Rather, you investigated my background?”
“Of course it’s not about honor, and I thought you were trying to get revenge on the two people who did that to you, but you didn’t seem particularly obsessed with it.”
“Because things like revenge are just annoying.”
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t even me who suffered.
The story of revenge itself is funny.
“The next thing I thought about was strength, but I couldn’t see what I was trying to become strong for. I felt something similar to nervousness, as if I was preparing for something to come in the distant future.”
“… Oh.”
I knew he was smart, but I’m starting to get the stupid idea that if he gets this far, he might be able to use mind-reading skills.
Rather than any special ability, this is probably a type of insight cultivated over many years.
“If so, what will you do?”
“Maybe I can help you. What if Mr. Felt’s enemy becomes my enemy too?”
“There’s no way to prove it?”
“Proof? That sounds like a prophet. Are you here to see the future?”
“That’s right.”
“Yes?”
I came to see the future.
*****
On Earth, if you claim to be from the future, you are treated as a fraud or a madman.
No matter how much this fantasy world is said to be a world where nothing strange happens, regression is something that is quite absurd even in this world.
So how will Lang react to this emergency?
Wow, Sarah trusted me, but that was only possible because of her trust in me.
If there is no trust that is close to blind faith, saying that one has regressed is nothing more than a nonsense statement worthless than a nonsense question about whether one believes in the Tao.
Let’s wait in silence to see what value she, a merchant, would have placed on that outrageous statement… .
“I believe it.”
Lang spoke firmly as if it were the truth of the world.
It didn’t seem like her suspicions had completely disappeared, but I couldn’t figure out what to read in her expression, which didn’t seem deceptive either.
At least on the surface, Lang really seemed to believe me.
“Do you really believe this?”
“It’s better than believing.”
“I guess it’s okay?”
“Let’s assume that that human named Hanji really appears in the kingdom one day and destroys the world.”
If he really shows up, all I have to do is tell it to me and take him down. If he doesn’t show up, all I have to do is laugh at myself for doing something stupid.
If the Prime Minister’s faction took control of the entire kingdom, it would not be difficult to spread the news of Hanji’s appearance.
We need to set up an information network across the country in preparation for a possible rebellion, so this is something that can be done in addition to that.
It would cost a considerable amount of money later, but it doesn’t really matter how much money it costs if we can prevent the destruction of the world.
Even if Hanji does not appear, it can be said that the amount of money it will cost afterward is cheap compared to obtaining the power for the country.
A priest who can use revival magic before and after the war would be useful in many ways.
“Whether it is false or not is not important to me. If it is truly Mr. Felt’s desire, I will do whatever it takes to make it come true. Is there anything else you want?”
“Umm… . Other than that, what other desire would you like to have a good life? But since I already decided to receive the territory, I think it will be okay… .”
Filling out the monster encyclopedia is an ordeal given to me, so I don’t need her help.
If there’s anything else you want… .
“I want to smell your tail.”
“… Yes?”
“ and your sister have bushy tails, right? Well, I guess you must have been sweating a lot and I want to smell that smell.”
As was the case in the last episode, when I first saw her, I was captivated by her tail.
The huge tail, which seemed to be several times the size of a fox’s tail, was filled with clear sweat drops like morning dew, making it feel like a jewel decorating the tail.
In fact, it would have a value that even ordinary jewels could not even dare to compare to.
If you bury your face in that tail, you will most likely lose your mind in an ecstasy like nothing you have ever experienced before.
It’s so obvious, but you should never spray perfume on your tail.
Spraying perfume on that thing is like pouring truffle oil into a dish that a top chef put so much effort into.
When I praised Lang’s tail with all kinds of rhetoric, Lang blushed with embarrassment and hid his tail behind his back.
“… Wouldn’t it be better to ask for intercourse?”
“Even if you have sex, you will smell sweat.”
“… Oh my.”
When I spoke firmly, she seemed to have given up and gave me her tail.
I bent down on one knee and buried my face in the tail as if kissing the back of my hand, enjoying the scent.
My tail, which took in the summer heat with my whole body, was as hot as heated iron, but even the heat that made my face burn couldn’t stop my desire for body odor.
“Good smell.”
Anything more than that is nonsense.
As I savored and caressed the scent that seemed to make me delirious in a good way, Lang muttered in a rare voice that was laced with tears.
“… Is it okay to think that with this we are completely on the same side?”
“You’ve already joined the faction. What more do you want?”
“Just because we’re on the same side doesn’t mean we have the same ideas. For example, like a certain lady who doesn’t even pay her age but calls her sister.”
“It’s okay if you don’t say anything after that.”
“What do you mean?”
“I will do it.”
Because of Sera’s problem, it is inevitable that there will be a fight with Terezina.
I wanted to end it gently if possible, but it didn’t seem like the situation would allow that.
In the meantime, if Rang cleaned things up, there was nothing better than this.
“If you just neutralize it, there’s no need to kill it, right?”
“There is no need to take your life because you have the old path. I also have a small dispute with her over ownership of the faction, but I have no personal grudges.”
There cannot be two kings in one country, and there cannot be two leaders under one faction.
Lang, who had been keeping a check on Terezina’s ever-increasing power, must have been looking for a way to exclude her.
“But what are you going to do with the forces that followed your sister? If the leader suddenly disappears, you might go crazy?”
“I’ll take care of Terezina’s side. Then, let’s discuss the details later, and then go see the princess.
