"So, what can I do for you in the end?"

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

　I ask Banerji, who is watching me working for the mutual aid association at the base in Laura, while I am taking the necessary formalities with the various authorities.

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

　I'm busy now, but I'm sure Banagher is not busy either.

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

　I am sure he is always working as a councilman of this city.

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

　I confirm that he must have something to do if he comes here.

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

"Ah, yes, that's right. Well, the main reason I came here is to see Mr. Alphonse's face, that I know. It is enough for me to see that he is busy, that it is.

"What do you mean?"

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

"Hmm. Some of the councilors are worried about you, that they are. That Mr. Alphonse might suddenly start fighting with some other city again. You know what happened after the Purge, don't you?

"Purge town? That place ended up being like a quasi-dominant territory of the Orient, right?"

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

Yes, that it is. Although we are not a part of the Orient, that is, we are not under the control of the original state of Peria, we are now a part of the Orient, that is.

　I turn to Banerji and discuss it with him.

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

　In the course of the discussion, the city of the Purge came up.

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

　The country of Peria is located northeast of the Orient.

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

　The city of Purge, which belonged to the country of Peria, was attacked by the Barka mercenaries, and the Purge family was destroyed, leaving behind a puppet organization.

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

　However, at that time, the puppet organization was not yet independent from Peria.

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

　But now, it seems that the puppet organization is connected to the Orient, even though it is independent from the Peria.

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

　This is because Peria was attacked by another country afterwards.

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

　Apparently, another small country, sensing the defeat of the city of Purge and the loss of strength of its thousand-man army, immediately attacked Peria and won.

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

　Although the Peria was defeated, it was not annihilated.

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

　However, they lost many villages and other assets, and were considerably worn out.

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

　Therefore, the government could no longer afford to deal with the purging town where the puppet organization had been created.

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

　The organization immediately informed the Barka mercenaries of this fact.

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

　They must have wanted to have a backer.

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

　Even though the Peria nation can no longer afford to touch the city of Purge, it does not necessarily mean that another nation will attack in its place.

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

　And if that were to happen, the Purge Town would not have the strength to deal with it properly.

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

　It seems that they were desperate for a rescuer to help them protect themselves.

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

　But the Barka mercenaries could not afford to move.

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

　Because I had the idea of spreading the teachings of the Church.

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

　If I had known that such a quick move was awaiting us, I would have had the mercenaries standing by ready to move at any moment.

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

　But even if I had thought so, I unfortunately could not get around to Purging Town at that time.

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

　However, that did not mean that we could ignore it completely, so we handed the story to the Congress of the Orient in its entirety.

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

　As a result, it seems to have worked.

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

　All the Orientals had to do was to reach out to the Purge towns for help.

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

　That's all it took to get one city.

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

　However, the Orient, which had been dealing with surrounding countries through diplomacy without expanding its territory much, was cautious here as well.

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

　They made up a story that they were offering their help to the Purge Town because of its desire to become independent.

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

　In effect, the Purge Town is already a part of the Orient, but diplomatically speaking, it is not.

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

　I didn't really understand what that meant.

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

　But anyway, that is the way the Orient's parliament dealt with the situation.

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

　And it seems to have been a satisfactory result for them.

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

　Probably, their pockets were enriched in some way.

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

　Thanks to that, since then, I have not been punished for fighting against the Purge City on my own.

"Well, money is important after all. Even if the Barka mercenaries fight somewhere else, as long as the councilors make money, they'll forgive us a little.

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

"That is not true, that it is not, Mr. Alphonse. If he really cares about this country, he will not allow himself to ignore the Congress and fight against other countries, that he will not. ......Well, there are some members who do not, that I know, but don't forget that, that you should never forget that."

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

"Oh no, Mr. Banagher. That was self-defense. It was only because the mercenaries dispatched by the Barka mercenary company reported the discovery of the enemy and we were on our way there when we got into a battle. We didn't ignore the council. That's what I've explained to you many times.

"...... your word is not a lie, is it, Mister Alphonse?"

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

"Of course. If you are so concerned, shall I testify at the trial in Barca?　That trial will feel pain if I lie, so you'll know I'm telling the truth."

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

"No, that's fine, that it is not. I trust Mister Alphonse, that I do. But there is always a chance, that there is. I have also made a plan to prevent Mister Alphonse from going into battle unnecessarily, that I have.

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

"...... What is this?"

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

"This is a request for the Mutual Aid Society, that it is. It seems that Mr. Alphonse has his hands full with the mutual aid association of the church, that he does. While he is busy, he can't be on the battlefield. That is why I have prepared additional work for you, that I have.

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

　Banagher handed me a huge stack of papers.

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

　Looking at the papers, there were a series of requests to the mutual aid association.

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

　Apparently, it was a request from the council to the mutual aid association.

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

　I was beaten.

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

　They may have been alerted to the fact that I had requested the Barka Mercenaries to guard each village and had started fighting with them.

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

　If that is the case, it seems that they decided to send the work to the mutual aid associations instead of to the Barka Mercenaries.

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

　Although the number of followers has been increasing quite rapidly, the mercenaries are still taking care of a large part of the requests at the Mutual Aid Society.

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

　This is because there were not so many people who could take on the work even if they joined the mutual aid association at the present time.

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

　What would happen if a large number of requests came in from the Congress of the Orient?

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

　Since the speed at which the general public who are willing to accept the work are still slow, it is necessary for the mercenaries to handle the requests.

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

　This means that the Barka mercenaries will not be able to afford to be on the battlefield any longer.

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

　At this rate, the day when I can go into battle will be even further away.

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

　I looked at Banagher grudgingly, and he gave me a look that said "I've got it coming.
