Unmotivated Hero's Tale

"So what can I do for you today, Noin?

Yui scratched his head and asked Noin, who sat down in the seat across the street without saying anything, why he was visiting.

"Dude, isn't that a lot? Shouldn't a friend come for tea for nothing, Istarz?"

"I don't know if you come to see me every day, every day like this... but more or less you are the Crown Prince of this country once and for all? Besides, I'm keeping the army. I don't think I have time to come to an embassy in an unrelated country during this busy period before the war."

When Yui sends his gaze to Noyne with the eyes of a troubled person, he shrugs his shoulders without any evil.

"Of course I'm busy. But I think this is how you spend your time doing it. Understanding the area is also the work of the ambassadors from the country visited by the Crown Prince."

"Unfortunately, that's not part of the ambassador's salary. If you're in the business until that happens, I guess it's still a job that's not for me. I want to go home to Clarice soon."

"Dude, isn't that the way you put it, like you're unhappy with our country? I'd like to ask for a correction."

"Nobody wants to be in a pre-war country. Anyway, Noin. Aren't you just going to get down to business today? My nap time is pressing."

When Yui exhales a loud sigh, he waits for a response as he puts his weight on the back of the chair.

Seeing Yui's attitude like that, Noin opened his mouth to Yui when he reassembled his legs that he had been putting together on the couch just because he had no choice.

"Well, if you're going to tell me to get to the bottom of this, I'm not going to be silly. I don't care what you ask me to do."

"Waste? What kind of trouble are you here to talk about?

"Oh. Actually, I'd like to ask you to join me in the next battle against the Magic Duchy. I came to tell you that today."

In a light tone like every casual favor, Noyne said something extraordinary, and Yui just gave her a frightened look.

"Again, you've come straight... but the answer is fixed. I am the ambassador of a country that has nothing to do with this battle. Naturally, the answer is no."

"Look, I thought I'd answer that anyway. That's why I didn't say it right away. Now I've completely lost my excuse to come here through the military debate."

"An excuse?"

When she learns to catch on to Noin's words, Yui unexpectedly moves her eyebrows pickly.

"Oh, excuses. The title is" The Crown Prince himself is on his feet to draw Yui Istarz to his side. "

Staring at Yui with resentful eyes, Noin spreads his hands to the left and right with a cloaked trick.

"I don't know, well... if you want to get out, you can honestly say you want to get out. There's no such thing as a groundbreaking plan for a whole day of military discussions."

"Come on, there's no way you can say that. Besides, it's important to say that it's pre-built. If you belong to the army, you know that much, don't you?

"Well, I don't know. But if you want to take a breath, you can be your own room, your wife's room in the royal palace, and you can rest anywhere."

Yui, frightened by the person in front of him, tells him to rest elsewhere once in a while in the dark.

With such an understanding of Yui's thoughts and such, Noyne gently jumps that suggestion toward him.

"Well, that's not what my breath is for. Just because I'm in that castle, my men are concerned and have to ask. Besides, if I were there, it would be hard for them to argue. Sometimes it's important to make time for them to talk freely."

"That may be true, but I've never heard you come to visit an embassy in another country to get your men to argue. But, you know, just being in a castle doesn't mean you're gonna be great. I don't want to be born at all, really."

When Yui says so with a slight glance of pity toward the man in front of him, Noyne just fights back saying he's out of his mind.

"Come on, you're the best of the people from Clarice. Let me get this straight, but in the opposite sense of me, I definitely think the guys around you are having a hard time. This isn't a prediction, it's a certainty."

Noyne, who has finally grasped Yui's character recently, quickly complains about the man in front of him wandering like every other person.

Yui, on the other hand, returned the word toward Noyne, thinking of two redheads who would be exceptions in the back of his brain.

"Hmm, there seem to be a lot of exceptions to some of my guys that don't care about me... but either way, I'm me. At this age, you can't behave like any other."

"I mean, why are we talking about whether or not we care about ourselves?

"No, you said it first."

Yui sighs and tells him so, staring at Teng himself who derailed the story with an unfortunate gaze.

"Hmmm... did I? Well, I don't care about that at this time. More than that. Seriously, can you really help me with a little of our army? As head of the army, honestly, I want your strength so much that I can get my hands out of my throat. Even if you know you can't."

Unlike when he said it earlier, Noin speaks that way toward Yui with an obviously serious look on his face.

However, the response from Yui was no different than earlier.

"You know, if you know you can't, give it up honestly. By and large, let me help you out and tell you what you can do? You've only helped one person, and the outcome of the next battle won't change."

"That's not true... somehow I say this one guy flipped me over for an operation that put out a go-signature of invasion, convinced of a complete victory a few years ago. There's no such convincing solicitation, is there? Don't you think so, Lord Hero of Clarice?"

With a slightly self-derisive mouthful of that, Noyne makes a bitter laugh look yuy.

In response to the meaning embedded within the words, Yui replied shrugging his shoulders as he scratched his head as weakened.

"That one, it just so happens that the terms are right. You won't be able to do that again, and you're not going to try."

"Hmm. Even if the conditions were in place, as a party on the side that was, it wouldn't have happened if they did."

"You know, did you come to me to talk about stupidity?

Yui scratches her head three times like she's in trouble against Noin, who stares at herself with his jitsu eyes.

"No, you talked a little bit about it again. It's my bad habit. Talk to someone close to you and you'll lose sight of the real story."

"Something familiar..."

"No, until I got to talking to you this way, I thought a man named Yui Istarz of Clarice was a demon or something. At that time, I never dreamed that the devil's contents would be such a proper man."

Whenever she visits this room, Noyne grins bitterly as she shakes her neck from left to right, looking around at the evidently increasing pile of documents and books.

"You know what? Towards the diplomatic ambassadors of other countries, there is no proper, no proper."

"So you're saying no? Every time I come, there are so many more bundles of paperwork to process."

Take a piece of paperwork from the mountain nearby, and Noyne mouths it like a sneer.

"Come on, don't look at it on your own. There's a mix of classified documents in our country."

"Then keep the confidential documents under control so they don't get seen."

"This is a job I'm leaving for my men. If I was doing anything, I'd lose their job, wouldn't I? I don't want my men to lose their jobs."

When Yui speaks of an obvious excuse to grab him, Noyne turns to the man in front of her with a shrugged shoulder and complains.

"The people around you are still struggling. This isn't a certainty, it's a certainty."

"I'm sure that's around you, too. Noin"

In contrast to himself, he basically turns to a noin of very fine character, and Yui says so in a sigh of sighs.

"Ha, well, sure... But I wonder what's going on from tomorrow. If I lose my reason to come here, I'll have no place left for you to really listen to my stupidity"

"After all, was the main purpose of vomiting stupidity? Well, I thought that was the place anyway. But if it's someone who spits stupidity, isn't there something else for me?

"You know, it's about you in this country, except for my father, who makes all that crushed talk about me. Before the war, let the others hear of stupidity."

Though ostensibly content as if protesting, Noyne says so with a niggling grin.

Having heard the words, Yui turned back to him with a less pinky look on his face.

"Hmm, I wonder if that's what you're saying. Well, nothing. I don't care enough to ask you about your stupidity because I don't seem to have to do paperwork while you're here. But honestly, I don't know about royalty or royalty. Because the roots are common people."

"Now you'll be noble, too. It can only shape tomorrow in our country."

When Noyne says so and laughs at the man in front of him, who is holding the weakness of his country, Yui spreads his hands to the left and right.

"I don't really feel it myself, though."

"I see, is that what you say? If so... No, that's why you're strong."

"... what the hell are you talking about?

Suddenly he doesn't understand the meaning of the words Noyne utters, and Yui leans his neck with a much blushed look on his face.

"I don't know, you don't have the backbone to tie you up. I guess that's your freedom, your strength, and your charm."

"I wonder if it's like that. Either way, I don't know. About yourself."

In response to Noin's remarks, Yui shook his neck left and right twice, shrugging his shoulders.

"I'm jealous of you. I am nominally the Crown Prince, but I don't really remember being praised by my father. And lately, my uncle is more obsessed with someone else than me. Don't you think it's natural to want to be jealous?"

"The jealousy of a man is outrageous. I mean, who are you crazy about, that tea-drinking dad?"

"It's you."

"Not at all... I don't have a hobby for that hand."

Although he had expected it, Yui, who was once again given the word as expected, tries to get out of the way with a troubled look on his face.

Noyne, who then saw the reaction, opened his mouth with a satisfying look on his face.

"Dude, are you stupid or what? He says he's obsessed with your character and abilities."

"Even if they say so... not what you just said, but to be honest, I'm like the enemy of this country"

From the margin of taking the lead in the conversation on the spot, or realizing that Noyne has a niggling look on her face, Yui gives a frightened look at the childish young man wearing the title Crown Prince.

"Hehe, that's why. That's why my country, which has seen more painful eyes than anyone else, and my father, who is at the top of it, appreciates you. So much so that I thought about getting my daughter Miriam to marry me."

Just as Yui utterly opens his mouth to this bomb thrown out of Noyne's mouth at an unexpected time.

And after a few moments, Yui asked Noyne with a slightly lower voice when she gave a bitter look.

"... are you still serious?

"I guess I've already met him, with him"

"Oh, about twice..."

"He's more than the other sisters, he's drowned by his father. With the exception of party seats and other places with an unspecified number of people, I have never been allowed to meet a man other than my own before. Though that's above my father's seat, I guess I met him one-on-one. Normally, yes."

Noyne gives a look that she heartily enjoys the man's inability to afford in front of her, and says so with satisfaction.

"I don't care if they say so...... to be honest, you wouldn't hang each other at this stage, would you?

"It doesn't matter who you are. Nothing like you. Besides, I don't care if he marries you. It sounds like fun having a brother-in-law like you."

In response to that word like a chase, Yui denies it as he scratches his head as he openly draws his cheeks.

"Give me a break. I'm singing an easy bachelor life because of it. I'm not gonna do that right now."

"But you don't even have a lover, do you?

"I'm not here, I just don't make it... How do you even know that?"

Yui wrinkles his own private information between his eyebrows at the fact that the Crown Prince knows that too in other countries.

"Our intelligence department is excellent."

"You know... don't use such good people for my private research."

Yui said so with a heartbroken look on his face, Noin shook his shoulder and laughed out.

"Ha, I'm sorry. I'll say no, but I wasn't trying to get you to investigate your predicament, I was just putting it in for information on a report from a bunch of guys who had you sticking around at 46: 00."

"Tell them I'm looking into you. What are you gonna do?"

"Well, that's true, too, but that's been done from outside of us anyway, isn't it? And if you try to investigate too closely, the scary red-haired man around you or the brunette woman who usually doesn't show up, the important investigator will be erased. Honestly, it only comes up to that level of reporting."

When Noyne said that it was nothing to tell the subject of the investigation at all, he put his mouth on the coffee that had begun to cool in front of him.

With that look in his eyes, Yui swallows the spitting complaint and drinks up the coffee in front of him all at once to calm himself down.

"... Before, you said you had a similar temperament to me, but I'll let you retract that one. You're more of a troubled man than I thought."

"Dude, that's a mistake. After all, we're really alike, except for our abilities, on the inside. Heh heh, and I'm not going anywhere but you. That's where it's different from you, called unmotivated. Just so we're clear, I'm considered hundreds of times more decent in the public."

"What's the point of having such an outside competition... at all"

As Yui lowered Dharan toward the ground like the force in both arms had fallen out, he exhaled a loud sigh.

"Ha, it's still funny that I'm talking to you. Well, let's just say that. If you can't help me directly, you can talk to me about the proposed operation, right?

"Again... I thought you were just helping me plan my supply to the Aedemiras Castle Fortress in the south yesterday"

Yesterday, while still saying something, Yui turns to the man in front of her and looks at Jito, saying that she stayed in this room for a long time and was helped to pack the proposed operation.

"Hey, don't say that. It's me and you."

"What kind of friends? Totally...... so what do you want me to think today?

Yui scratches her head twice with a frightened look on her face.

Meanwhile, Noyne, who saw the trick, smiles bitterly, but opens his mouth without hesitation.

"Oh, will you listen to me? Then let me not hesitate to talk. As I told you the other day, I think it's probably the Ademilus castle fortress in the south that hits them first in this battle. I intend to mobilize all the southern magicians of our army and the Imperial capital there."

"Is it just the Imperial Mages and the Southern Army... that you're not going to put all your troops into the war?

"You can't. You can't show a gap in that country next to ours. Even if they're dumb turtles, not even their army will."

Noyne sweeps his neck to the left and right as he floats behind his head about a democracy that is another crack in the two great powers in the western part of the continent and is located east of the empire.

When Yui scratched his head hearing that same answer as yesterday, he referred to a specific draft operation.

"Sure...... right. So I'd like to make sure that the magicians we send from the Imperial City..."

"Yeah, of course it's a unit that can handle Glenzen Kugel. It's taking a little while to organize, but you can say it's the main force in our army."

"I see. So you've rebuilt the magician unit. Hmm...... I think I'm right too to put them into the first fight as a priority, which is definitely a trump card. With the exception of Kisletin, there's unlikely to be an invasion from another route against this country. Just..."

"Just?"

To Yui's slightly said words, Noyne urges ahead when slightly foreboding.

"If you're sending them as reinforcements, it's dangerous to form a sorcerer alone. This time the enemy is also a magician. I also know all the shortcomings of magicians. Unless we meet early and the whole army can hold it inside the fortress, but that fortress wasn't on that scale, was it? When that happens, there is no point in not placing part of the army outside the fortress. And given the nature of that collective magic, they should be positioned first outside. That's why you should be most mindful that they will be targeted for each destruction. And so I think we should let them have every escort we can."

"Escort unit... yeah, that's right."

Noyne also understood that Yui's statement was true. However, although he has concerns to which he has referred earlier, he therefore clouds his words against Yui's proposal.

"I know how you want to keep your reserve against Kisletin. But they have a way of dealing with it for them."

"Dealing with Kisletin?

With Yui's words in his ear, Noyne makes his eyes glow slightly.

"Oh. The leaders of Kisletin must set forth the title that they are conducting politics only on behalf of the people and under the support of the people. Anyway, that's the philosophy of the country. And that's where there's a gap to get into. Well, if I were you..."

Yui turned to Noyne and mouthed a plan, drawing behind his brain about the rulers of this country who might have already been at the forefront.

Hearing its contents, Noyne remembers her thirst strongly. And when he gathered the slightest stubble left in his mouth, he poured it into the back of his dry throat.
