"......What's your aim in doing that?"

"Aim?"

"Yes. I don't mind opening the gates to the outside of the hospital as you say, Mr. Alphonse. But I'd like to know a little more about why we have to do that.

"I don't know if what I just said is a reason. I'd like to correct the spread of a different story about the treatment of the women who have been taken in."

　Zen and the others left the village of Barca and returned to the Orient.

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

　After that, I explained to everyone what I had thought about after talking with Zen.

　Then Sura interrupted me.

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

"Hmmm. That's all right. I'm just wondering what the need is to correct the wrong story. I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but I don't think it would be too much of a problem for Mr. Alphonse if you just let the rumor go on.

"I see. I see. Do you think that Kristina and Sura are the same way?

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

Yes, it is. I can certainly understand what you are saying. I think there are other ways to clear up misunderstandings about the treatment of women. For example, you could write to Laura and the others and let them know what's going on, so they know that life is not as bad as they think it is.

"What else?　What do you think of Garius and others?"

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

"Hmm. Is it my opinion, that it is?　For my part, I am also concerned about the possibility of running a hospital, that I am not. There is a sudden talk about making and selling medicines, that I wonder if they are ready to treat the large number of patients they have gathered with medicines, that I wonder.

　After gathering the main players in the village of Barca and listening to their opinions, it seems that they all have their own opinions about what I have to say.

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

　The main opinions were that there are other ways and that it is not possible.

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

　Maybe this is a good opportunity.

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

　Up to now, we have been doing various things in a way to cope with what is in front of us somehow.

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

　However, it might be better to unify all of our ideas at this point.

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

　No, no.

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

　Maybe I should tell you what I think first.

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

"All right. Well, let me tell you what I think. I created the Barka mercenaries and built the village of Barka here. And I want to make it bigger and bigger. For that reason, I think it's better to be free of strange rumors. That's why I decided to use the hospital to deal with them.

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

"Make Barka village bigger, yes. To do so, he said, we must dispel the gossip about the women. Is that correct?

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

"Yes, Sura. To be honest, the Barka mercenaries are still too weak. I want to make it stronger.

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

"Weak?　Wait a minute, Mr. Alphonse. These Barka mercenaries are doing their best. They've been winning every battle and their reputation in the Orient is growing.

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

"That's not true, Kristina. It is true that we have a good reputation in the Orient. But that's all. Once we leave the Orient, we're so weak that we're classified as weak."

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

　Yes.

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

　The Barka mercenaries as they are now are weak.

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

　This mercenary group has gained the reputation it has today because of Ian.

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

　Ian the Warrior of Atmos.

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

　Thanks to Ian, the strength of the mercenaries has been improved considerably.

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

　But what would happen if Ian were to be removed?

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

　To begin with, the current strength in the village of Barca is less than 200.

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

　And that is only the maximum number that can fight. In fact, if those who maintain the village and those who stay behind to make magical tools are deducted, there are only 50 to 80 of them who can go out to the battlefield at your request.

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

　And of those, only Ian and Elvis can fight properly.

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

　The rest of the mercenaries, including myself, can be safely called small fry.

"Alphonse is weak?　Are you kidding?　Not many kids are that strong."

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

No, it's not true. The world is a big place. Besides, there are many people in the nobility who are better than me. I have actually seen such people in the House of Lords.

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

　Apparently, one of the things people misunderstand about me is my strength.

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

　I think I train myself pretty well.

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

　It has allowed me to fight reasonably well so far.

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

　But I don't consider myself strong.

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

　I don't think so.

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

　The reason is simple and obvious.

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

　There are a lot of people in this world who are stronger than me.

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

　I have seen it in my life.

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

　My brothers were all much stronger than me.

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

　And just as strong as my brothers was Charles, the prince of Bryria.

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

　He, too, had absurd magical power, but he trained his body on a regular basis, and he also participated in actual battles.

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

　Every royal family has high magic power in their body.

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

　And so do the nobles who serve the royal family.

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

　Unless you are a very minor noble or a knight, there are people in the East who are born with high magical power and have been educated from an early age by intermarriage from generation to generation.

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

　What would happen if there is even one person with such strength in their army?

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

　As it is now, without Ian or Elvis, they would not be able to take us seriously.

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

　There is a possibility that the mercenary army will be destroyed by a single opponent.

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

　Even if not, the mercenaries may be defeated by just one knight.

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

　Of course, even if that is the case, I have no intention of losing.

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

　No matter who the opponent is, I will fight them head on and win.

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

　But even so, small numbers are a problem.

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

　We have to train each one of them to improve their quality, of course, but we also have to have enough of them to be able to conduct a proper operation on the battlefield.

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

　Therefore, my goal for the future is to strengthen the Barka Mercenaries.

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

　In other words, I want to increase quantity as well as quality.

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

　For this purpose, I would like to gather young men from the variants, but I would also like to gather men from the surrounding areas and bring them into the ranks.

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

　And there is a condition to grow in such a way.

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

　The Orientals must accept us and cooperate with us.

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

　After all, as mercenaries we need a lot of food.

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

　We will be in trouble if we don't have people to sell us food, and we will also need various other supplies.

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

　And to cover the costs, you will have to buy them in the Orient.

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

　Although the salt damage to the land of Barka Village has been improved by salt grass, it is still difficult to secure a large amount of food, and we would like to grow medicinal herbs.

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

　At such a time, it would be difficult to negotiate with a mercenary group that does not make a good impression.

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

　Above all, people from this area may not join us.

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

Therefore, there is no such thing as too good an impression to make a mercenary group grow. If you ask me what I'm aiming for with the hospital's policy change, I guess I'm aiming to strengthen the mercenary corps.

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

"Woah woah woah. I see. You've thought that far. I understand. If you have a good reason for doing so, I understand. I'm sure you're not lying when you say you're thinking about the hospital.

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

"Yeah. It's a good way to dispel rumors, verify medical information, and to learn more about the medics, as well as to see who might be interested in working as mercenaries here in Barca Village through the hospital."

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

　Apparently, Sura was convinced by my explanation.

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

　And so did the other members of the group.

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

　The goal is to strengthen the Barka Mercenaries.

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

　We further discussed the use of the hospital for this purpose.
