Unmotivated Hero's Tale

"Sorry, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

One room slightly on the left hand side of the front of Ertbourg Castle.

Stepping in there, Yui turns to the two men who were waiting inside scratching their heads to say his apologies.

"No, it was us who suddenly pushed him. And it's been a while, Ain't... No, Yui Istarz"

"Ha, thanks. It's been a while, Mr. Ufena. So, how did you end up in our country this time?

Yui, who sat down opposite the couch where they both were sitting, asks that to go straight into the stand-alone.

Ufena then uttered the reason in the end.

"Lord Feliam asked me to."

"Is that Uncle Tanuki's difference? I see."

Yui accidentally spills a bitter smile as Feliam's unfortunate face emerges in the back of his brain.

"Either way, I've been appointed head of a diplomatic mission, but I don't know diplomacy. So the foreign ministry of our country also accompanied the diplomat on this visit."

When Ufena says so, the magnificent man sitting next to him smiles nicely.

"My name is Flag. Hi."

"I see. So, Mr. Ufena and the diplomat are more likely to come and tell me exactly what to do?

Yui looks at the two faces in turn and asks them to go straight in.

Then the diplomat, dressed in a somewhat cramped courtesy, let him gently shrug his shoulders.

"I didn't know you were suddenly asked to do the talking, Lord Istarts."

"Hey, I've always hated rushing"

Scratching his head, Yui answers as he turns to the diplomat.

As soon as he did, Ufena gave him a frightened look.

"Lie."

"It's true. If you're about to waste your head to come to the same conclusion, the belief is that it's better not to put as much effort into it as possible. Of course, if the same conclusion can be drawn."

Yui openly speaks his true self as he gently spreads his hands to the left and right.

Meanwhile, with such a bitter smile at his response, the diplomat man spoke lightly of the reason for his visit.

"… then let's be as terminal as you wish. I'd like reinforcements to our country."

"Is that a request against the Kingdom of Clarice?

"That's right. And against your lord."

Together with Yui's answer to the inquiry and the meaning of supplementing the diplomat's words, Ufena says so after checking with her neighbour's man with her eyes.

But in response to his reply, Yui speaks of his standing in a gentle tone with his hands gently on his chin.

"Unfortunately, that's not equals. Right now, I'm useless in this country."

"In front of the building it will be. The other day in Carlin, our country has received information."

"That's a quick thing to hear. It's just that, to protect my second hometown, I took part in the battle with private soldiers. I didn't get anything from this country, and I didn't get anything in return."

Only damages were to be suffered by him, but while Yui thought in his heart, he dared not speak of it.

Meanwhile, as it remains unclear, the diplomat makes a rugged demand on the dark-haired man in front of him.

"Let's do this, then. In other words, I would like to request reinforcements from both the army of this country and you. How about that?

"I didn't expect an individual to request reinforcements. No... Regarding Clarice, I think the Minister of Military Affairs will be here later, so please ask him there. It's not the kind of question I can answer."

"... um"

In front of Yui's mouthed theory of principles, Ufena unwittingly shuts up and turns her gaze to the diplomat next door.

Meanwhile, the diplomat who sat next to him has eaten down even more without showing a bare gesture of giving up at all.

"Lord Istarz, from what I hear, all the military hubs in this country today are with your former men and friends? Essentially, if you ask them to mobilize, they will be able to respond naturally to our requests?

"That's against the rules, my diplomat. And for whatever reason, when I cooperate with your country, it could be treacherous if I were the only one to pay the price."

"I mean, if you pay as much as you can snort at me, as an individual, I'm glad you interpreted that as not a rush to cooperate with our country..."

The diplomat hears Yui's words and asks him so in a tone that is not inconsistent.

Yui then clouded his words as he gently scratched his head.

"Hey, what do you think?"

"Istarz, what the hell does your lord want? Money or honor?

Ufena inquiry with numbness cut off.

In contrast, Yui slowly opened his mouth as he gently stroked his jaw.

"Right, I need some money. But for someone other than me."

"Hmm... that's probably for those you protected."

"You know very well. Yes, so to be honest, as Count Lemuriak rather than me, I would appreciate some… no, with that kind of money."

In the current situation, which embraced Carlin's human being, it was honest that even as Yui, the financial outlook was rather painful in the short term. Therefore, Yui tells him so without hesitation.

"Then you just want to hit me with that. Specifically -"

"Oh, wait a minute, please. Money, of course, but there's more I'd like you to do."

"What more would you like me to ask you? What the hell?"

In response to Yui's statement, which blocked the diplomat's words, Ufena asks him straight with a crease between his eyebrows.

"Yes, I want the right to withdraw during combat"

"... that means you won't come under our command and you won't quit running if you see it as unfavourable"

"You don't hit it. You don't go far. I pay you to be a dead soldier, and I say disposable, because I have trouble with boulders."

As Yui scratches his head, he dares to tell a harrowing assumption.

But in response to his remarks like that, the diplomat immediately objected.

"But I was wondering if it would be a problem to accept that condition. At any rate, if you are free to withdraw, you can only accept the money and flee, or, at worst, withdraw with the flexibilities of the enemy Turkmenistan."

"That's true, but assuming you're flattered by Turmenia, you should give it to them even if you don't have a right to withdraw. Different?

With a thin grin, looking into the diplomat's expression, Yui asks.

But another man clearly denied what he had said.

"I don't think so."

"What do you mean? Mr. Ufena."

"I understand that your lord has some connection with them. So let's just say it doesn't."

In a tone of certainty, Ufena unequivocally affirms.

As soon as he did, Yui scratched his head like it was weak.

"Oh boy, what shall we do now"

"Transfer command to your lord."

"Ha... Ufena, how dare you now!?"

It was a diplomat sitting next to Ufena who raised his voice of surprise.

But so blinded to his surprise, Ufena lays down her words against Yui.

"I entrust the command of my southern side of the Kisletin army to you. So what do you say?

"The neighboring diplomat seems surprised... are you serious?

"I mean it. If you take command of it, there will be no such thing as irrational orders, and our army and your lord's army will be equal. Didn't I?"

The look on Ufena's face.

From there Yui understood that he meant it.

And that's why he mouths the confirmation question in a somewhat cautious tone.

"I confirm, does Lord Ufena have the authority to entrust me with command?

"In this diplomatic negotiation, I am supposed to be the Ambassador Plenipotentiary"

"Could you give me a moment? No matter how the person in front of you is the Lord Hero, our soldiers are soldiers of the people of freedom. I wonder if we can leave that command to the men of the despotic monarch."

The diplomat mouths the problem toward Ufena with a crease between his eyebrows.

But when Ufena shook her head left and right twice, she again expressed her own view.

"It may be an error to entrust that command to what is in the privileged class under a despotic monarch. But now that freedom is about to be lost, we should try everything we can to protect it."

"That's natural. But there will remain the question of whether you have tried all of that. In fact..."

"Oh, uh... I'm sorry about the buzz, do you both have a minute?

In a way that blocks the voices of diplomats, Yui turns his voice against the two of them.

"Oh, my God, Isterz"

"You know... I think you guys have already come to a conclusion, so why don't we stop the wasted play and get down to business quickly"

"Is that a play?

When he hears Yui's words, the diplomat gets a look like he's been poked in the void.

But seeing his such reaction, Yui opened its mouth with a bitter smile.

"So I know. You were originally going to let me transfer authority, weren't you? I just can't honestly transfer it as it is. Because in any case, the question of trust in a democratic country, elections, will stick. So, on the face of it, I asked for authority, and you gave in. Isn't that the kind of muscle Lord Feliam gave you?

The moment Yui's words are finished spinning, silence reigns indoors for only a moment.

And after only a few moments, the diplomat, who until earlier had a surprising look on his face, gave him a thin grin.

"Hehe, I see. Lord Feliam and Mr. Ufena, with all due respect, are truly on your guard."

"Well, what do you think? I don't know much about it. So, who the hell are you?

With a lightly shrugged shoulder, Yui hits that fundamental question with a knife to return.

In response to that inquiry, on the other hand, the magnificent diplomat said the same name as earlier with a bitter smile.

"Even so, you are the Deputy Head of the Foreign Mission of the Kingdom of Clarice, Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"I see. So what were you doing before that? And after this?

With a meaningful grin, Yui makes further inquiries.

Then, just as he surrendered, the diplomat shook his head slightly to the left and right.

"... that's great. But why did they notice?

"When Lord Ufena said something at his discretion, he was sure of you. Perhaps it was up to you to decide what was outside the script."

"Hmm, I see"

"On top of that, aren't you supposed to be an army person? If so, there will be a hidden and tense body description under the courtesy clothes."

When said, Yui shifts his gaze from the diplomat's face to his body.

The diplomat sighed lightly under the movement of that gaze.

"You really are the man Lord Feliam told you to be. Let me introduce myself again. I am Solanent Flague Attfield, a former Imperial General and ordained Deputy Head of the Diplomatic Mission of the current Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Clarice."

"Ex-general of the Imperial Army…"

"Yes, he was primarily taking on the protection of the Empire."

"By the way, I'd add, he's also my former superior at work"

You decided you no longer had to act badly, and Ufena says so without turning to Solanent and hiding any respect.

"I see. But now I see the story. So you're the one I'm going to put together."

"Exactly. So when it comes to delegating command, you can promise me on this occasion. Because I don't stick to form as long as I win. But if you seem to give too unreasonable instructions, then I will have the right of veto."

"If I can win without more work, I won't stick to formality either... Hmm, well, if you don't mind when it comes to command, let me take care of it to the extent that it doesn't cause you more trouble"

One nod with his hand on his chin, Yui says so after a slight stray.

"Hehe, well, let me promise you all I can do, too. Well, if so, then it's only a matter of money, but now, how long have you had?

"To be honest with you, I'd like to ask for some food for the soldiers involved in this expedition. Anyway, it's too inefficient to transport from our country."

"Well, that's a demand you don't even know. Regardless of whether it is acceptable or not, let the government know. So what else?

"Could you discount our tariffs on demon stones in the future?

That demand made in a casual tone.

Solanent, hearing it, shook his neck left and right in an instant.

"That will be difficult. Anyway, the other day, the tariff rates for each country had just been determined by the Western Conference."

"Yeah, you're right. But there's an exception to everything, right?

Yui smiles nicely and says so without being able to pull in the demands.

But by contrast, Solanent never changed his sinister expression.

"I mean, just ask Clarice to grant an exception? Do you really think that would make sense?

"I guess you can't. Clarice signed a contract. But how about a completely different new contract?

That word from Yui's mouth.

Solanent, who overheard it, reacts for a moment late.

"Ha... what does that mean?

"In the event that a certain land becomes independent in the future, the person in charge of that land would like to enter into new tariff negotiations with your country. Anyway, his land had no contract with your country at the time of the Western Conference."

"Istarz, are you kidding..."

Upon hearing Yui's suggestion, Ufena turns her gaze to Yui without hiding her surprise.

Meanwhile, the brunette scratched his head lightly, opening its mouth with a bitter smile.

"Yes, I would ask you to lower the tariff rate than the contract you entered into with the Kingdom of Clarice in the event of the independence of our territory Lemuriak. That is the condition for accepting your request."
