190 [3-47] The meeting is walking (2/2)

You can't shoot the same arrow twice. We just need to minimize the damage.

Ryuyuchi only sees the big picture.

Even the Demon Lord couldn't spread the plague without limit.

The gods, both holy and evil, are reluctant to bestow favor upon themselves, and while they will respond when asked, they usually demand some sort of compensation.

If this plague is contained without much success, the Rose Princess of Hell will be worse off than she was before.

So be it.

...... You hold the situation until the Blue Army does its job, Gosho.

”Yes, sir.

Prepare for quarantine measures for infected people, regional quarantine measures for areas of increased infection, and distribution of soap to maintain sanitation. We're also planning to form sanitation teams in the next day or two to work on stopping the spread of the disease in the areas that will be the water's edge.

We have also asked the guilds to increase the production of non-magical medicines.

The head of the imperial administration, a man of mature years with a stout physique more like a warrior than an elf with a slender star ring, responded reverently.

It's the head of the imperial administration, the Prime Minister.

”Very well. As soon as I have eliminated the source, I will disperse the potion and control the plague in one fell swoop.

Haha. I've already selected an alternative recipe for the healing potion.

A few high-ranking officials specializing in medical administration followed after Noisho, and one of them handed Noisho a document, which Noisho looked over as he walked.

”Domestic production is ......

”Not enough. That's about half the target. The longer we wait, the more we'll be short.

The idea that Diretta might be able to take advantage of this under the guise of ”humanitarian aid” or ”fighting evil” crossed Ryubuchi's mind.

It would be a blow to Diretta's prestige to abandon the people of the occupied Principality of Cadenis, let alone the Empire of Caenis.

In the end, however, they would only express their support and delay the process for whatever reason. They will use the people of Koenis as a hostage card to force diplomatic concessions.

That future was clearly visible to Ryubuchi.

”I'll talk to Faraiya at .......

”What? I'll have Rousha hurry up with the arrangements.

It's a route halfway around the continent. ...... It'll take time and money, but it's the only way.

If you're buying from the Faraiya Republic, you can use the latest high-speed ships to transport them. It would have taken longer because of the distance, but it would have been faster than transporting them overland from a country halfway across the world.

Buying from the private sector would require diplomacy, but at the moment, Faraiya and Koenis were not in direct conflict, and relations were relatively good.

--If you want to have them transported by a magical engine ship or a magical high-speed ship, it will take about two months, including the ...... arrangements. It's still earlier than waiting for the harvest time of the fukuretsuyusa. In any case, if you want to buy insurance, you have to buy it here.

In the meantime, I'm going to try to get by by buying things in small quantities in my neighborhood. ......

”It is not only warfare that is fought, is it?

”My Lord, ......, you are enjoying this, are you not?

”Huh.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

--I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do it.

You don't think you can win with this, do you?　What will you do next, ”Rose of Hell”?

The flowers in the vase in the hallway stirred uneasily.
