"Sorry to keep you waiting. Sorry I'm late, Mr. Alphonse."

No, that's enough. I'm sorry to call you on such short notice, Hannah.

　It's been a long night since the victory at Purge Street.

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

　We had been on the move since first thing in the morning when Hanna arrived in town on her Valkyrie.

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

　It seems that Hanna is very tired from riding on the back of the Valkyrie.

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

　Even though Valkyrie is running with care not to put too much burden on the person carrying her, the riding posture is still tiring.

　It can't be helped that she is getting tired.

"I see. I was wondering if you would be okay with an unfamiliar ride, but you've traveled all the way here while applying the fatigue-relieving effects of [the Flame of Loving Kindness]. You've thought about it."

"I thought that [meditation] would be less tiring, but [the flame of love] is more powerful. I managed to make it this far without taking a break."

　Such a tired Hannah was using her own magic to relieve her fatigue.

　Incidentally, Hannah did not come all the way to this city by herself.

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

　Ian, who had ridden the Valkyrie, had returned to New Barka in the middle of the night and brought Hannah back from there.

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

　They had ridden together until they arrived here.

"Good work Ian. "Well, I'm sorry to start so soon, but I'm going to need you to take care of Hannah. Let's get started while she recovers from the fire of love.

"Okay. The mercenaries will be naming the people in this town, right?　Dr. Ai told me everything I need to do, so I think I'll be fine."

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

"All right, come here, then."

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

　Seeing that Hannah was beginning to lose her fatigue while we talked lightly, I decided to get right down to business.

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

　It was about the naming of the city's inhabitants that I had mentioned to Walter and Zen the day before.

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

　We are now going to name the residents of this purge town.

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

　We have already thought out the process and told them how to do it.

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

　Basically, the mercenaries who participated in the invasion of this town will name the residents of this town, and by collecting magic power from them, the purpose is to strengthen each and every mercenary.

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

　However, the problem was the efficiency of the work.

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

　Right now, there are 200 mercenaries here.

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

　In fact, the number of people living in this purge town is probably more than ten thousand.

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

　I would like to name them all if possible, but it would be impossible for the mercenaries to name each and every one of the residents.

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

　First of all, I don't think that 200 people can gather that many people, make them do as they are told, and then separate those who have been named from those who have not yet been named.

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

　Or rather, it would be difficult to gather all the mercenaries together to gather all the residents in one place.

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

　Therefore, I have decided to prepare a person to name the inhabitants of this city in place of the mercenaries.

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

　It is a person who originally lives in this city, but is not a commoner.

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

　They were not members of the Purge family, but they had been involved in the practical affairs of running the city.

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

　Yesterday, I explained to Walter and the others the idea of recovering the magic from this town, and after that I asked Ian to bring Hannah to me.

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

　Then I searched for the rest of the people who were originally involved in the management of this city, gathered them together, and asked them questions.

　If you do not oppose the Barka mercenaries and swear your allegiance to them, I will guarantee your life and position.

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

　In other words, they wanted to create a puppet government for the Barka Mercenaries in this city.

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

　Until then, this city had existed under the leadership of the Purge family, who had developed their magical power over the long history of the city.

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

　However, the actual work was not only done by the Purge family, but also by many others.

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

　Those among them who have sworn to follow us, the Barka Mercenaries, will be permitted to continue to manage this city, and will be given a name.

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

　At this time, it is the mercenaries who will name them, not me.

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

　All that is left is for those whom I have approved as my puppet government to name the inhabitants of this city, and spread the connection of magic power.

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

　Then, the amount of magic power flowing into the mercenaries will increase even if they are left alone.

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

　But here is the problem.

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

　That is, even if they say they will pledge allegiance, we do not know whether they will actually keep their word or not.

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

　No, in fact, they will not.

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

　It is quite possible that they will pretend to be sworn at the moment, but will eventually turn against us.

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

　That's why I asked Hannah to come.

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

　Hannah is in charge of the church in New Barca, where she performs the rituals for the new residents of New Barca.

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

　The rules of the city are explained to them, and if they do not abide by them, they will be put through a blood wedge ceremony that will hurt them to death.

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

　I've asked Hannah to come here so that we can do the same thing here in town.

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

　I can do the blood wedge myself.

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

　Or rather, I can do it without the magic stone I gave Hannah, but I don't dare to do it.

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

　The reason is that if they know that I can freely restrict their actions, they might be wary of me.

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

　I have decided to go along with the premise that Hanna is the one who can perform the ritual to make the other person keep his/her oath.

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

　Thus, Hanna arrived in the city of the Purge and performed the ritual on those whom she had determined would remain in the center of the city as the puppet government.

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

　She had them touch a special magic stone with a wound on their fingertip, and presented them with the conditions she had worked out overnight, and made them agree to them.

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

　My blood contained in the magic stone entered their bodies.

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

　In that blood is a Norn, who does not yet know that from now on they will be in terrible pain if they break their vows.

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

　They accepted the ritual with carefree smiles.

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

　As usual, Hannah performed the ritual with the flame of love, and the ceremony was over.

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

　Thus, a new pro-Balkan organization was born in the city of Purge, and the residents were named by them, and the city was managed by them.
