“Is it okay to give something this good to minorities? “It seems like you are giving them too much.”

On the other hand, among the nobles who came with Princess Mona, there were some who showed a crooked attitude.

Just because everyone was tied to one empire did not mean that racial discrimination completely disappeared.

And the nobleman seemed to be someone who particularly disliked minorities.

When we see people say that our products are too good for use by ethnic minorities.

‘I guess they’re using it not to praise our top, but to disgrace minorities.’

Princess Mona spoke to the nobleman’s words.

“There will come a time in the future when we will need their help. I have to give something like this for that time. Only then will my feelings about the empire ease a little.”

“Is it really necessary to improve relations with ethnic minorities?”

“Are you not thinking about the future? “In the future, we need the cooperation of ethnic minorities to clean up contaminated areas and reclaim the land.”

“Honestly, I don’t know. “Would it be possible for only ethnic minorities to be of great strength?”

“Everything else about you is good, but the problem is your old-fashioned prejudice. Haven’t ethnic minorities been able to defend the front line well without being breached even once? “We must not ignore their power.”

“Aren’t you afraid that that power will come back? It may just create confusion for no reason. Don’t they hate the Empire? How do you plan to handle it if the supplies handed over like this come back as a sword to the empire? “If His Majesty finds out about this, he will be angry.”

What we had to be careful about in our dealings with minorities was the betrayal of minorities who had strengthened their power with the materials we gave them.

That’s why we need to select new SSR characters even more.

At least there’s no way a character summoned from a store would do something that would interfere with the survival of humanity, right?

“If I receive cooperation from ethnic minorities, that will also be my contribution. And minorities cannot rebel against the empire. Because you know that you can’t live well even if you rebel against the empire. And isn’t there a purifying liquid in the empire? “They can never offend the empire.”

“I admit that the purification liquid is great. It’s a great discovery for mankind. But the purification liquid didn’t produce the results, did it? “There has been no proof of efficacy!”

The reason Princess Mona wants to form an alliance with ethnic minorities is to prepare for the future.

Monsters were regurgitating in the polluted land.

It was like leaving a powder keg that could explode at any moment if left unattended.

“Yes, its efficacy has not been proven yet. That’s why we need more minorities.”

“yes?”

“This support item will also include purification liquid.”

“W-You mean that precious thing?! Isn’t it a strategic item? “Why do you believe in ethnic minorities and want to give them something like that?”

Ethnic minority items contain purifying liquid?

This was my first time hearing this too.

I know that the imperial palace has placed many orders for purification fluid.

However, I just received the order and delivered the product, and it was not up to me to decide what to use it for.

“I plan to give it to a minority group and check it before using it in our military. Doesn’t everyone disbelieve the results of the alchemist’s experiments and argue that they should not be used? So, at this time, we will give it to ethnic minorities and check whether it is safe.”

“Hmm, if that’s the case then what… . “But you wouldn’t give that precious thing away for free, right?”

“No way. “You have to get something valuable in return.”

Princess Mona was smiling meaningfully, as if she had something else in mind.

‘I thought it would be no problem to purchase and use purification fluid, but it seems there are still nobles who are against it.’

Since the political affairs related to the purification fluid were left to Thalia, I personally visited the imperial palace and even went under Princess Mona’s control, so I thought there would be no problem.

However, it seems that there are still many people who are against using purification liquid.

However, if, as Princess Mona had planned, we gave the purifying liquid to the ethnic minorities and checked to see what happens, the cause of those who opposed it would be lost.

Princess Mona used her hair well.

‘You can give me purification liquid as if I’m doing you a favor, and I can also check to see if there are any problems, so it’s like killing two birds with one stone.’

Since they don’t seem to have any intention of handing over the purification fluid for free, wouldn’t they be able to fill their pockets quite a bit?

It seemed that the imperial palace would earn more money from this work than the amount he had sold the purification liquid to the country.

I felt a sense of regret, but I decided to hold back because I could easily end up ruined if I get too greedy about something like this.

She sent the nobleman, who could not hide his displeasure after hearing Princess Mona’s words, to another place, and led Erintina and I into the office.

Although it was Erintina’s office, Princess Mona sat calmly as if it were her own office.

“Please sit down because I have something to tell you.”

Then he even offered me a seat.

I followed her gesture and sat down.

“I will prepare tea for you.”

Erintina seemed to be in no mood to intervene and disappeared, saying she would prepare tea.

When the two were left in the office, Princess Mona opened her mouth as if she had been waiting.

“I heard you have a close relationship with Commander Thalia.”

“… yes. “I tend to be like that.”

“I heard she recently created a new unit.”

“Yes, I know.”

“I heard you are sponsoring that unit. And I have a deep personal relationship with the unit members.”

It seemed like Princess Mona had done quite a bit of research on me while she wasn’t looking.

“you’re right.”

“I heard that those kids’ skills are exceptionally unrivaled. The reason for creating a new unit is to clean up contaminated areas with members of the unit as the main players, right? “The other nobles laughed at Commander Thalia’s words.”

“I think it’s possible because we haven’t proven anything yet.”

Aren’t the nobles’ discussions happening only for a day or two?

These are people who come to their own conclusions without even having a proper understanding of what is going on in the field.

And there was only one way to put pressure on those guys.

“It will naturally disappear over time. And aren’t you ashamed of your actions?”

Even though he was a nobleman, ridiculing the plan of a man to clean up a contaminated area was essentially spitting in his own face.

“According to Commander Thalia, you had a lot of influence on it. “I would never have thought of creating a unit like this on my own.”

“Have you met Commander Thalia?”

“Accepting you means that Commander Thalia also becomes mine. “He was protecting you, wasn’t he?”

“Yes.”

“So we needed to meet and talk. And lately, Commander Thalia’s work has caught my interest.”

Princess Mona’s interest in the unit seemed to be beyond imagination.

“Do you think Commander Thalia’s forces can succeed in cleansing the contaminated zone?”

“There’s no reason you can’t. These are students with outstanding skills. “They are geniuses and it’s a miracle that they were born together in this era.”

In the future, such geniuses will continue to appear, and the unit created by Thalia will perform miracles.

“Cleaning up a contaminated area will involve quite a bit of sacrifice and suffering. “I don’t understand why you plan to clean up the contaminated area and why you even put it into practice.”

“There are countless people who have lost their homes due to contaminated areas. The place where the nobles live is still full of leisure and abundance, but the place where the commoners live is no different from hell. “Having experienced all of these situations, I don’t think it’s strange that I would want to clean up the contaminated area.”

“But the reality is that you have no choice but to focus on your own safety and survival.”

“I guess it’s because my reality isn’t that harsh.”

“… … .”

According to another person, when you look into Princess Mona’s eyes, you feel as if all your clothes have been taken off by her.

This may be because her abilities lie in her eyes.

And now I also felt like everything about me was being discovered by her abilities.

But that feeling lasts only for a moment.

Soon the strange feeling I got from the princess’s gaze disappeared.

“You are a very interesting person. “I wonder what kind of plan they have.”

“It’s good to be interested, but I don’t think there’s any need to be suspicious of the same side.”

“You may not be a saint sent by God, but do you think we can view it without suspicion as you suddenly come forward to purify a contaminated area? Those who have a duty to clean up the contaminated area are ignoring their duty.”

Is the saint theory popping up here too?

If it gets to this point, I think it will be easier for me to pursue my future activities if I just call myself a saint.

Franc, a saint, also runs a cult, so wouldn’t it be possible for a saint to run a general store?

Even though he couldn’t use divine power like Fran, he changed his life to save the world, so it seemed like God wouldn’t be harsh on him.

‘Crazy guy.’

I shook my head and shook off the funny thought that briefly occurred to me.

“I am a bit patriotic, princess. So, didn’t they develop something like a purification liquid? And it is obvious what the merchant wants. Wouldn’t the purification solution I worked so hard to develop sell well if the empire paid attention to cleaning up contaminated areas? To purify all 60% of the area, a huge amount of purifying liquid will be needed. Then I will become incredibly rich.”

“Just because of money?”

“A small merchant catches the attention of customers right in front of him, but a merchant with great ambitions like me likes to pioneer a world in which to sell his goods.”

Princess Mona snorted as if my words were absurd.

“Why did such a person refuse the right to do business with ethnic minorities?”

“… … .”

Princess Mona’s sharp words left me speechless.
