CH 9 (1/2)

9. The north end of Mitols.h.i.+a Continent

“Oh, is that true? Half agreed?.”

“Yes there is no mistake. As for the remaining homunculi, rather than support, their still at a lost on what to do about the situation.”

Illuminated by the setting sun, Premier outward appearance as always was the same cool and calm expression, but her eyes that look upon Iss.h.i.+ were strangely feverish.

However, he without noticing such an appearance, reconsidered the fervent speech of the other day, and writhed embarra.s.sment.

(Why did I say such a thing!! Somehow, after I come into this different world, there are times when I’m not myself. Let’s be more careful. In any case, now …)

Pulling himself together, he put his hand on his chin, and begin to think about the present conditions.

(At any rate, excluding the girls who prefer to fight, the other ones ought to be the gentle ones. Therefore, should I chose to live in seclusion.)

Thanks to Premier who spend several days, running around hearing everyone’s opinion, about half of the girls seemed to have the intention of making a country for themselves.

During the time she was running around, she conveyed Iss.h.i.+’s words to each of the girls.

“I wonder, did that speech contain such persuasive power?

He looked puzzled.

As for Iss.h.i.+, like what he said before, the girls are human beings, it is natural that they should be treated as such.

“Maa, it’s not a bad thing to advance forward with what you decided before.”

I think so too.

Because, the method for them to live peacefully doesn’t exist, even if any of the means get selected, it would always be difficult.

Then, it should be at least positive, thought Iss.h.i.+.

Furthermore, not even in his imagination, did he realize the kind of phenomenon that would be caused by the girls.

They who recognized themselves as a living being by Iss.h.i.+’s words, felt resentment towards the current conditions, but on the other hand, their faith towards Iss.h.i.+ was starting to reach a level of wors.h.i.+ping.

Of course, the one who spread the fire, Premier was also an important factor in this.

Not knowing any of that, he had no idea about what conclusion is spreding around.

“Why am I the one who is accompanying them?”

About that.

When I first heard circ.u.mstances of the girls, I still intend to face the troubles until till the end.

But, at first I did not think such a thing as founding a country.

Well in fact now, I’m thinking how a country full of Homunculus girls could be build.

Of course, there is no other method for making a place where they could live in peace, and above all else this continent and its people are ignoring human rights.

This is certainly justice.

(But, I couldn’t become the perfect human being who cast aside everything just for justice.)

While I fought with such thoughts inside my heart, Premier who was an excellent secretary was already completing the geographic information about this world that I ask for the other day.

“Master, the preparation is complete. It’s ready anytime”

A map of this continent is opened on top of the desk, even though he doesn’t know where from where this map coming from.

“You already have it. Fast!”
