Volume 11 Chapter 179 (1/2)

(TL: My speed drops to a third when I’ Someone paint me red)

The Ancestors + α's Plan

『For the sake of what's to coht Beim's merchant and Guild to an extent』

With a serious expression, putting his elbows on the round table, and using both his hands to cover his athered members

Inside the Jewel Me and the ancestors sat around the conference roo his chair to Milleia-san

Everyone around nodded with serious faces, but I looked around doubtfully

”And how do you really feel?”

There, the Third gave a light, 'Oh? You noticed?' in a frivolous ht, and let his lips curl like a crescent moon

『Beihter of a prominent old is abnor-tere, Lyle?』

… Meaning these people think it's natural that Beiulate what co some pressure down

”… Even e don't knoe'll win or not, should you really be trying so hard to make enemies?”

As I felt tired, Milleia-san smiled and spoke

『Oh, isn't it fine Lyle? You can't go underesti merchants If they felt like it, they're in a position where they could kneel before a noble, with a weapon concealed in their suit ready to kill them any time』

The Seventh shared Milleia-san's opinion

『It's not like they're all that sort offor you to control, it's only left to be snatched up Lyle, this is for your sake No, for the continent's sake as well』

The Fifth looked up at the ceiling

『Don't underesti control of the continent behind your back But it's natural that we'll win And so has come the time where we decide what to aim for in our victory』

I stared at Milleia-san's sht…

(She told me to call Vera's father father-in-law, but I see it was to fan the flames… each and every one of them…)

… But even if I say that, I received Vera's support, and was in a state where I could already make another move And for out next actions, ould have to have a clear picture of our future standings

”What my position will be in the future, was it?”

The Seventh nodded with a serious face

『That's right It's not as if all's well as long as you win You've got the lives of at least nine wives on your shoulders And going further, there's the fate of those who choose to follow you I definitely won't forgive you dying a hero's death What we're assisting you with is fighting, and living through it all And that's what you've decided Throay any foolish desires for heroism』

The Third looked at me, as he leaned his back into his chair, and put his hands on the armrests

『Well, even if you win, it wouldn't be strange if you're killed for being of the same Walt house It's true that Celes is the Walt House's sin But on't recognize this journey if it leads to your death If you're to die, then Lyle… to be blunt, I don't care if the continent goes through its long era of chaos』

The Fourth used a finger to push up his glasses, corrected their position, and straightened his back

『So even if you win, quite a few things will be affected by your position What sort of victory do you long for? Is it possible? And where should you ai, do you want to stand at the lead to destroy Bahnseim, or do you want to put someone else at the lead to destroy Bahnseim』

Milleia-san brought it together

Laughing to herself, and using a hand to cover her mouth

『It's prettyor not Do you want to aim for prime minister? Or do you want to reclaishi+p, based on how you choose to rule, the position's nah』

Should I reclaim the territory I was supposed to succeed?

Or dig deep into the center of the country?

Stand at the head, and beco?

The Fifth looked at me with a serious expression

『I won't tell you to decide right now, but you'd better decided it soon Because of Vera, we'll be able to move sooner than anticipated Unless you decide your future standing, on't be able to decide to what extent we should go against the Guild and the merchants』

The Third clapped his hands He clapped theave a smile as if to bloay the dark atmosphere all at once

『Well, right now's the stage to prepare this and that From here on, you can make as many revisions as you want So think about it And fire up father-in-law Fidel sohter is his weakness』

To a delighted Third, the Fifth…

『Daughters are ones that will be sent off one day What is he thinking, doting on her to such an extent?』

A dry opinion as always But Milleia-san looked on it quite pleasantly

『Father sure is aard』

It seems that's how she took it

The day after returning to Beim

After returning fro to the mansion But once I awoke, I was called by Adele-san…

”What is this supposed to be?”

In a roo mountain of docue of tears, and yawned

It wasn't thatso days lately, and from it came a sense of tiredness

WithCoain

But Adele-san…

”They're docu up like this!? What did you do, Mr Lyle!?”

Behind Adele-san, Makzim-san stood nervously I'll bet he wanted to console her, but the words weren't co out

I picked a paper off the mountain, and confirmed its contents

”… Why is this form here? This is completely irrelevant to me”

There, the Fourth gave some advice

『H power, and request work, or they want to show off the fact you still have a connection to them… Well, that Adele kid looks overly earnest, and she's properly working, so they just kept sending thee number of documents』

So that's how it is? I thought as I addressed Adele-san

”Isn't it because you're dealing with the in? In the first place, it isn't my job, so you could have just sent them back, you know”

There, Adele-san unsteadily collapsed onto the floor

”T-that can't be~”

”M-ht there I'll prepare some cake for you at once It's delicious cake, you know! Cake!”

Maksi her to stop crying With tears still in the corners of her eyes, she endured the urge to cry, and was about to complain to me, but…

”Lyle! Is it true that you et research funds!?”

… The door sla the document pile over with the wind, Damien entered the room

With a smile, he led his three Automatons

”Ah,boy… This scene shall be preserved in my memory banks for all eternity”

”With this, we can purchase the machinery anted, master”

”ood job”

No 3's conored it Generally, just like Monica, they showed little interest in anything besides Damien

If you asked, they would do work but the effort they put in when it caether

There, with a tray in one hand, with cake and drinks on top, Monica made her appearance

”Lowlyany work… Chicken dickwad, you ot a maid as capable at work as I Monica Lucky bastard”

Placing a drink and cake in front of Adele-san, she handed me a drink as well

With teary eyes as she violently shoveled the cake into her mouth, Adele-san looked quite mortified

”… It's delicious”

As she said that And Maksim-san looked over her and smiled His face was flushed, and I felt as if I had just seen so I shouldn't have
