"Brother Ars, I think this is a good time to ask you something."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm?　Yes, Kyle?　You can ask me anything you want."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well then, be my guest. Then don't hesitate. He said he'd help us expand the Reed family's territory. How much can we depend on him?

"What the hell, Kyle. You're not thinking that I might abandon Kyle, are you?　I'm not going to be that heartless."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmmm, but you can't do everything for me, can you?　Because, Brother Ars, you intentionally limit your power, don't you?　For example, the magic airship is a good example. If they were mass-produced more, they would be of great help to Barka, but they are not increasing them, are they?　If I asked Brother Ars to build more magic airships to expand the Reed family's territory, would he do it?"

"......I don't think I'll do it. It's fine for my own use, but I don't want to add too much."

"Right?　So I just want to make sure. I want to see how far I can get Brother Ars to help me expand the Reed territory."

　Hmmm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's a very troubling question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How far will I go to help Kyle?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, I have a great desire to help my little brother Kyle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And that would be good for the Barka family in a roundabout way.

　However, I was sure that I was not willing to grant him whatever he wished for.

　First of all, even though I would help the Reeds expand their territory, I might not be willing to give my trump card to Kyle unconditionally.

　The magic airship that I mentioned earlier is built to be powered by a propeller that is turned by inserting a magic circle into the spirit stone that I created with my magic power.

　I can't help but think what would happen if I rent it out to the Reeds and it is captured by a third party.

　The magic circle itself is encrypted, so it is unlikely to be deciphered, but there is no guarantee that there are not geniuses on the level of Kyle.

　Even if it is not so, there is a possibility that even if the opponent uses the captured magic airship against us, there will be a big damage to us.

　In other words, I did not want to put anything out in the open that could be dangerous if taken by the other party.

　Of course, since Kyle himself had helped in the development of the magic airship and the magic train, there was a possibility that they would be created by using a power source other than spirit stones.

　However, I would like to refrain from doing anything that might immediately destroy my advantage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For this reason, I am going to prohibit the lending of anything of high importance, no matter how much it is Kyle's wish.

"So you're saying that we can't have the horns, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's right. I used to allow Kyle to use the antlers, but I guess I'm not allowed to do that anymore. Sorry, Kyle."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And after all, I was not going to let the horned antlers, my greatest asset, be used as much as I wanted to gain the Reed family's territory.

　Of course, I had no intention of sending Kaiser Valkyrie into the battlefield either.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is because Kaiser Valkyrie is the one and only existence that has been [synthesized] with the labyrinth nucleus and so on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are not many opponents that Kaiser Valkyrie, with its increased magical power, could lose to in a normal fight, but even so, one never knows what might happen in a battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is a possibility that Kaiser Valkyrie may be killed by anomalous magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I will not take that risk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm sorry that I can't do everything I said I would do to expand Reed's territory, but this is the one thing I can't give up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm sorry, Kyle.

"Well, even if you don't, I think the Reed family's territory should be expanded by human hands. Let's say, for example, that we send in a bunch of horned men to raid every city in the country and kill all the nobles. Do you think the people of the land would recognize the Reeds as the rulers of the land, Kyle?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't think so. They might even rebel more than they should."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's right. After all, military might is necessary to gain territory, but what is needed to sustain and rule it is to win the hearts and minds of the people. Only when the Reed family wins in a fair fight can it become the ruler of the land. Well, you don't have to tell Kyle that now, do you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... So you don't have a problem getting the army out of Barca, do you?　I'd also like to get some help from my part-time brothers and some financial support from the Barka Bank."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course. I'll give you all the support I can, and I'm going to lead the army to fight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......, I have one last thing that I really want, if you don't mind my asking, Brother Ars."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, what?　Was there anything else Kyle wanted other than what was just mentioned?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. I mean, it might be one of the prohibited items that my brother Ars mentioned, but ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kyle begs me for it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He crosses his arms in front of his chest and looks up at me with his eyes full of tears.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What the hell is this guy?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How can he give me such a puppy dog vibe when he is a 17 year old boy who is already married with a wife?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kyle's begging attack made me feel like I shouldn't be doing this, and I did what he asked me to do.
