Vol 16 Chapter 311 (2/2)
Without changing her walking speed, Lianne cut down that opinion
“Based on the investigation, perhaps that option will coes of hands, the eastern front in chaos fro a war, no matter how you look at it, a food crisis is upon them”
Where the roads were h you could also say the towns and villages were the ones looking after the roafs It was the same for cities
For that sake, if they were thinking to use the h numerous settlements
“That’s e need to save…”
Lianne spoke disinterestedly
“Saving the weak before our eyes, e increase the factors that will cause us to lose a battle we must win at all costs? If you still wish to choose the shortest route, then the logical choice is to propose it after you make a situation where that is possible If you’re just here to speak ideals, then anyone could do that”
While Lianne had followed through for her in theto hear out her opinion Adele spoke
“We have soldiers from the east as our allies If we abandon their homes, the root of the problem remains”
“We never said ouldn’t save the as food supplies permit But e need to prioritize is victory Not to choose our means Our means for victory are that alone”
Adele grit her teeth
“… If it vexes you, then put out a resolution You’re not in a position that permits incoical”
“I know”
With those words, Adele walked ahead of Lianne with swift feet
Unit Thirty Four watched her off
“Good grief, you’re like a villain, Lianne-san”
Lianne let out a sigh
“I’ it because I want to If we could save them, I would It’s because we can’t that on’t We cannot mistake our priorities And without a resolution or alternative, it’s a fool’s drivel”
Nothing more than an ill-natured joke Unit Thirty Four asked
“Then what if there is a resolution?”
“After consideration, we’ll deter ourselves with food production I thought of sending them with extra, but our present situation is one where we’re insufficient Well, I’ll put ”
“You won’t move yourself?”
Lianne turned to Unit Thirty Four
“… Do you think I have that sort of time?”
The Valkyrie shook her head, letting her black hair sway
“You do not You are already cutting away your sleep for work I will support you on the site So while you are at it, quickly produce a chick and–”
Lianne silently increased her walking speed Unit Thirty Four didn’t overlook the faint blush on her face…
“Reaction confirmed Perhaps the day I embrace a chick in these hands is not so far off”

… Theover, by the tis under her eyes
After thinking over various things, perhaps it really was as Lianne said, perhaps she had to give up, or so she dropped her shoulders, and headed to the for the center of Beim
Today once more, her subordinates were busy at work
Fro off a scent Rather than food, it feltconducted
There, the one who supported her- Maksi a Valkyrie
After accepting so frorim expression…
“… Somewhat more decent, but it’s terrible Too terrible”
The Valkyrie, to his honest opinion
“I did attempt to process it It did look tasty, to say the least”
“When ht offeredof a trauma And it doesn’t look tasty either”
What she had prepared was a potato The Valkyrie had found a potato-like tuber that could be found growing anywhere That potato-like thing was sturdy enough to survive in nature, but the way to cultivate it was different It was so of a mutation
But it was terrible With nothing left to eat, searching for them as a last-ditch attempt in the mountains had left many with pained memories
A them were even some who said they would rather starve than eat the, they’d probably eat theardless
(You can’t eat those unless you’re starving They’re all over the place, but they’re just a hindrance, so we have to get rid of… can’t eat unless you’re starving?)
Adele ran out ant snatched the tuber from Maksim’s hands
“M- so terrible…! What’s more, that’s an i-indirect k–”
“Yeah, yeah, just hand it over! Urp!”
Biting down on the tuber, Adele was a little i across her mouth
“… It’s terrible But edible”
Seeing Adele shedding tears, Maksieted
“I-I’ll prepare so to cleanse your palette at once! Oy, don’t we have anything!?”
As Maksim said that to the nearby Valkyrie, the Valkyrie expressionlessly shook her head
“So you want h the troubles of preparing it, nothing but terrible, terrible… are you trying to arouse me?”
Maksim to the Valkyrie
“Are you sure you guys aren’t o to Professor Damien for repairs?”
The Valkyrie showed hihting stance
“How rude! This is normal for us”
“That’s even worse! … wait, Adele-sama!”
Adele cried as she scarfed down the terrible tuber And she mustered her conviction
“It’s alright I ed to eat it, barely So teach me how to cook it With this, we can march down the shortest route!”
Maksi to say But the Valkyrie seerasped the hem of her skirt for a tidy curtsy
“If it’s to help sohted While we’re at it, the food made as I teach you shall be disposed of… eaten by Maksim-san”
Maksim turned to Adele
“I-if Milady isit, then no matter how terrible it is, this Maksim… shall eat it all!”
The Valkyrie shrugged and shook her head
“There is no need for Adele-san to make it I shall cook and you shall eat That is all there is to it”
Maksi as she ate The tuber that would never normally be treated as food had moved her deeply But it was exceptionally terrible
“Terrible It’s terrible”
From an outsider’s point of view, it was surely quite a peculiar sight
And like that, when she’d only just returned, Adele hurriedly set out for Rhuvenns castle once more…
