Chapter 154: A conversation in prison

Translated by LoliQ

“I see, so the other party accepted it……that’s good For noe can say that things ell” (Eveam)

Eveam was relieved to hear the reply they had received from the beastmen This way, there would be no more deaths than needed for both parties Of course, there’s no telling ould happen to the 『Evila』 if they were to lose

Just in case, they had used a 《Contract Roll》 for the agreement and within it was the promise to not indiscriminately kill the loser’s people or perform other such actions Even so, the likelihood that they would be able to continue living as they had up until noas low

“The loser will have to obey the winner” In other words, the loser would essentially have to becoreement was not perfect There was a possibility of the other party co the winner

However, that insecurity was dispelled by Aquinas

“They won’t go back on their word once they have decided upon it I believe that is the pride of the 『Gabranth』 That’s why, up until now, there has never been a situation in which they have betrayed so accepts our demand, they’ll likely follow him due to sentimental reasons And in the event that in, Your Majesty has no intention of oppressing theht?” (Aquinas)

“Of course” (Eveam)

“Then, there’s no need to be dissatisfied All that’s left is to take the time to communicate with them in a way that will allow them to understand our true intentions, correct?” (Aquinas)

“I see…yeah, that’s right” (Eveam)

“But, in order to do that, we need to win at all costs”(Aquinas)

“Yeah, you are exactly right Let’s beat them head on, fair and square!” (Eveam)

Seeing Evealy, Aquinas exhaled as his face relaxed

“But, to think we chose this kind of h it would never close again, you know?” (Aquinas)

“Hahaha Actually, this ht of……by Hiiro” (Eveam)

“Hiiro?” (Aquinas)

“Y-Yeah” (Eveam)

The contents of what Eveam had demanded of the Gabranth this time, were part of a plan devised by Hiiro When she had a talk with Hiiro, she blurted out how she wanted to resolve this war peacefully

At that ti her that she spoke too naively Naturally, Evea to say However, she couldn’t agree with his reot mad

After Eveam became sullen for a short period of time, Hiiro spoke these words to her

“There’s no such thing as a war that doesn’t hurt anybody If you don’t want anyone to get hurt, then you should in” (Hiiro)

That was only natural In response, she told Hiiro that she had also put in much effort in order to do that

“Once a war starts, there is no guarantee that you can stop it without casualties However, da on the opponent I have an idea Well, maybe I should call it a kind of naive fantasy, and it’s a foolish plan that could probably be found in so, but……” (Hiiro)

After saying that, he reluctantly began to teach her about the method used this time

“Hou, so this ridiculous proposal was Hiiro’s, huh?” (Aquinas)

As he said that, Aquinas gave a seely satisfied expression

“Still, I’o with that plan”(Aquinas)

“It can’t be helped right? At this rate, ould keep fighting until one of us is destroyed That alone is absolutely no good That being the case, I thought that if ent to our opponent’s ho to listen to e have to say ” (Eveam)

“I see, so this method is only possible because the opponent is the 『Gabranth』, huh?” (Aquinas)

“Yeah, although this method certainly won’t end with absolutely no injuries, at the very least, we should be able to get off with e Also, unlike for our opponents, the proposal is clearly disadvantageous for us If we are able to defeat the about it” (Eveam)

“Fuyou seem to be pretty determined Is that also because of Hiiro ?” (Aquinas)

“U-Umu Well, yeah” (Eveam)

She looked the other way in embarrassment

“Well, they certainly have the advantage, but if they lose despite having been in such an advantageous position, even the 『Gabranth』 would have to recognize it Their own defeat, that is” (Aquinas)

“Ah, Hiiro also said that!” (Eveam)

Aquinas stared at Eveaaze, she hastily turned away froht red

“……Fuu” (Aquinas)

Eveam saw Aquinas, ore a s contained within it

“Hey, do you have so to say?!” (Eveam)

“Nope, you should be just like that and continue to change yourself little by little” (Aquinas)

His expression vaguely rese over his child affectionately

(_)/

“EhWhat are y… ?” (Eveam)

As Evea off elsewhere

“Where are you going, Aquinas?” (Eveam)

“…… I’ for a stroll”(Aquinas)

She stared at Aquinas’ back as he departed

“…What was that all about?” (Eveam)

She tilted her still feverish face in confusion

“Funya ~, My body still hurts nya~” (Crouch)
