Chapter 108 – Explanations about the circumstances, and their husband’s homeland

Side: Seraria

(Taiki)「–And that’s why I think working with you all is ht now 」

(Yuki)「Seraria, I’m sorry about earlier, but I feel the same way, so please 」

Prostrating themselves in front of me with their heads lowered, the Hero Taiki and my dear husband, plead their cases earnestly

(Aria)「Seraria Yuki-san see, so… 」

(King Rochelle)「U-Umu I think, that this 」

Aria ane-saive them Hmph

(Alshtail)「Th-that’s right Things couldn’t be helped if you consider the Hero's circumstances In the end, lives were saved and the scale of conflicts was reduced due to his actions Though different fro his best to reach the saoals we are」

…It seems Ritea's current Holy Woman, Alshtail, also feels that way

(Seraria)「Fuu Shera, what about Rankus' Princess? …What are your thoughts?」

(Shera)「What about her? …Should I send her severed head back hoht's troubles, perhaps?」

Shera replied, s

(King Galtz)「He-hey, Shera! Stop saying such reckless things! Think about it! Should their Princess actually be harainst us then!」

(Sharl)「That’s true Shera I understand your feelings, but collect yourself and reer picture 」

(Teak)「…I agree Even though Yuki and the others were most certainly attacked by the Hero because of Rankus' Princess, such a response is just going too far… 」

And from Galtz, Shera's family tried desperately to calm her down and remind her of the reality of the situation, however—

(Shera)「Ara, 'collect er picture? …Are you serious? What would they even do e to actually send back that wretch's head, fight us? So what? Let theardless, it doesn’t matter Rankus' royal faressions against our three countries on neutral foreign soil, that alone justifies our wiping them off the face of the continent Besides, this incident would give the Hero just cause to openly rebel and set the stage for a civil war even if we don’t do anything The only things those fools can do is wait for their deaths, isolated and alone As for preserving our honor and public reputation? It is a non-issue as that Princess both con country AND attempted to harm my husband Both of which deserve only one proper response–Death! Enough Even if someone were to raise a coainst our power–Nothing In the first place, to bring in weapons and incite open violence in the midst of a festival is already an unpardonable crime! It’s already far too late to save her head 」

With such harsh words froest princess, the room was overcoainst her after hearing all that

A proper mindset to have as one of Yuki's wives Well said A very appropriate response indeed But, Shera aside, it’s the same for the other wives as well

In other words, the highest authority in this Dungeon, the Country of Weed, de short of war itself now

Yes, let us take full advantage of this wonderful opportunity…

This is the perfect chance to demonstrate our power! Just one more push, and Rankus will make the perfect sacrifice for that… No, let’s use this as a chance to properly train and hone the strength of Weed itself

(Taiki)「St-stop this!! If you harm this damned Princess, ould be inevitable! And nevertrying keep safe and OUT of har, so please reconsider! I’ you!」

The Hero once again lowers his head, pleading that we stay our blades

Asunderstand his circumstances, I myself hold no ill will or blame towards the Hero personally, and it’s likely the same for the others as well But, even so, to ask us to sio is…

(Lulu)「Hero-sas and position, but what are you planning to do then? She said it herself didn’t she? That if we release that foolish Princess from our custody and allow her return–she declared that she would bring the full weight of Rankus' ainst us What then!?」

Lulu coldly asked, de the Hero's response Honestly I didn’t think Lulu would get this angry Still It warms my heart to see that all of Yuki's wives are of one heart and mind

However, it’s just as Lulu said That idiotic Princess is hellbent on retaliating against us The moment we release her, and she safely returns home… she WILL conscript troops and raise an aruaranteed

Well, on’t lose no h Their Hero was already defeated by us after all Whatever else they throw at us would amount to little more than a useless mob with swords

(Taiki)「Etto, look My aim is to do whatever I can to avoid the worst result possible, so please Will you at least hear me out?」

Still, that politeness of his…This Hero somewhat reminds me of my dear husband And even more than that, he has the same color hair and eyes as well

My Dear’s ho about it… At the very least, it’s probably not even on this continent

While I was busy with such thoughts, the Hero et Lulu to hear hi forward

(Taiki)「It’s like this… For now, I’ll return with the Princess under the outward proainst you' It won’t do much, but it’ll buy us soed by the whole thing and lead the charge myself Froe as far away from the citizens as I can We won’t be able to co, but」

(Seraria)「Indeed, if we can display our poith a decisive rout against your forces, then there’ll be no choice but to surrender More i our opponents then? I assu and Princess?」

(Taiki)「Yes, this way I can take the Royal Castle with a shting you here It kinda dumps all the trouble onto you, but I think this hest success in the end」

(Seraria)「……Fuy However, as a Hero you won’t just suffer disgrace with this plan, you’ll likely be branded a traitor 」

(Taiki)「Honestly, I don’t really care about all that As long as I can stay true to ets sheltered like soed bird, or used like some mindless pawn I just want a peaceful life where I can protect what I can protect, that’s all 」

……What a good person Ah, I oes without saying that he infinitely pales when coh person I suppose

(Lutz)「Noe understand your circu we need to clear up now When the fighting breaks out, Galtz will have to worry about their own national defenses while we, that is the Country of Weed, will be forced to halt all trade and travel during that time So? How, exactly, do you plan to compensate us for the losses we’ll incur?」

That’s our Lutz

She never neglects the details, especially when it comes to money

(Taiki)「Well, that’s… 」

(Yuki)「Please wait I think we’d gain et Taiki on our side by helping him 」

My Dear slipped that co to answer Still, what does he mean by that?

But I don’t understand They don’t seem that close–No, isn’t this the first time they’ve met one another?

(Yuki)「Taiki, you’ve had to do everything and struggle all on your own since co At the very least, I think it’s worth helping you out Besides, didn’t you say that you started your own business too?」

(Taiki)「Yup Soap, actually Well, it’s s from my world Like paper…which was a total ass pain to manufacture from scratch by the way」

(Yuki)「I see Well, using DP, I’ic tools I have Zergis, one of the Big Four, working his hardest tofro techniques 」

(Taiki)「Sure, no problem it's all yours 」

I see What my dear husband wanted were the s like soap and paper Not bad Not bad at all Especially when you consider the future

(Yuki)「And what do you two think? Lutz, Ellis?」

(Ellis)「Hmm, I see Paper production is an important consideration, since our current …」

(Lutz)「Since shampoo and soap haven’t been produced here yet, and if we can hire people once we do learn how, then both our trade and econorow So I’m all for it~ 」
