Vol 14 Chapter 280 (1/2)
… Beim, a room in the Guild’s east branch
In that large, orderly rooi looked at the lines of desks
There were five lightly-equipped Valkyries stationed Also present were the guild personnel, and the side their men
In order to fight Bahnseim’s remnants, Maksim had marched off, so Adele currently had no allies
The one to mercilessly thrust that reality at her was Monica
“The leader of the alliance is about to enter Bahnsei this one So the ement of Beim shall be left to all of you”
Adele looked out theBeie On top of that, the s shoved onto them
Adele raised her hand
“What is it, Adele-sama?”
Monica’s forced addition of the –sama irritated Adele
“I have a question With Bei?”
Monica nodded expressionlessly
“Yes Affir the land east of Bahnsei the country formerly known as 【Rhuvenns】 There, they’ll likely start into full-blown preparations Ah, worry not Maksim-dono will remain behind in Beim”
Lyle’s force was to enter Rhuvenns under General Blois’ rule, and prepare to counteract Bahnseim from there That she understood
But Adele spoke
“… I-I get the feeling we’re short-staffed over here?”
Monica smiled
“We’re short-staffed everywhere Well, we’ve gotten together whoever seeh expectations of your municipal abilities, Adele-sama”
As Monica stuck up her thumb and smiled, Adele ruffled up her hair
“A-at the very least, leave Lianne-san or Novee the city of Beim alone!”
Monica shook her head with a sain
“Maintain the status quo Make revival and Labyrinth oal Henceforth, Beim shall be split into South Beie portion of the Guild’s rights will be confiscated, so please work hard as proxy leader”
Taking the Guild’s rights That was an i Beioal was to chip away at the power reater sense of competition
The ruined North Bei- yet still small in scale- South Beim
It was the birth of twin Beims
But from Adele’s point of view, hectic work had simply been shoved onto her
“… Can I refuse?”
Monica remained expressionless
“Do you think you can? Rest assured It’s not like everyone’s going to Ruvenns at once There are various jobs that re the prisoners of wars to our forces But Lianne-sama made her way to Ruvenns first”
While she wasn’t the same type as Adele, if she had to say, Lianne was the type more suited to desk work While Lyle ay, her ability was abundant enough to act as agent leader of South Beim
But if that Lianne had already made her way out, Adele was the only one left
They couldn’t borrow anyone from the alliance Zayin and Lorphys were busy with their expanded territory, while Galleria and Rusworth had been lacking in domestic affairs staff from the start Cartaffs and Djanpear would be difficult, and having co the back lines was become more severe
Adele hung her head, and offered a word…
“Curse you… Lyle-san”

… Where the Trēs House manor once stood was in tatters
Perhaps some noble had made use of it, as its furniture had been taken, and there were traces of battle left behind Entering such a manor, Vera and Fidel were surrounded by their subordinates who’d followed them all the way to South Beim
“… Fidel-sama, there are also areas devastated by fire This er…”
When one of his ave an, ‘I see,’ as he looked at the ia Vera could only watch her father
There, a knock ca everyone to turn There, with black hair and red eyes… stood a Valkyrie in htly-worn Gina and Roland… alongside Fidel’s forround
“Gina…
When Vera caller her name, Gina raised her face
“Everything was taken Soht in the chaos and capsized… the eh, then go right ahead! Isn’t that why you searched us out!?”
“Gina, stop!”
As Roland held her back, Fidel looked over the two The subordinates behind them couldn’t look Fidel in the eye Perhaps they were embarrassed
Vera addressed Gina
“… I just wanted to see you if you were alive I’lad you’re safe”
Lyle’s goal… the situation encircling Beim, and Bahnseiht Gina may have died But she was relieved to see her alive
And Fidel was the same But he spoke
“How unsightly When I think of hoas driven away by you all, I can only feel more shameful of myself”
Gina and Roland’s bodies twitched Ti her head
“… We’ll accept any form of punishment But accept the people orked for us in South Bei of you, father”
In regards to her daughter’s lowered head, Fidel took a cold attitude
“Accept them after they drove me out? Your credibility rests at zero After one betrayal, saying you want to serve under ain is…”
Looking at Fidel’s attitude, Vera covered her face He really did want to help the only just started up a new business in South Bei any more hands would be difficult
Simultaneously, South Beim currently held a deep=rooted animosity centered around the belief Beim had thrown them away
As South Bei merchants of Beim
“A nue mercantile shi+ps that had abandoned Beim made their way to South Beim, but we turned them all away That was South Beim’s answer Do you understand? South Beim will not accept any of you That is fact”
Fidel walked off, everyone following behind him Vera stopped beside Gina and Roland Fidel followed suit
But their subordinates continued walking on
Fidel spoke
“… That whelp has a few debts to settle with otiated to have him let yyou set up a business in north Beim I’ll prepare an extent of money The stolen shi+ps have been secured in South Beio, so come to receive them at the port in three days’ time That’s all I will do for you Roland, I leave Gina to you”
… He said, and walked off Nor environs of his subordinates On top of that, the opposing representative merchants of Beim were to be crushed for the sake of Lyle’s plan
Gina raised her face
“… Father”
