第７８５堀：無垢な援護 (Part2)
With that, I nodded along with Firia-chan, and Stasia-onee-sama and Enora-onee-sama agreed as well.
"What do you think, Onee-sama, Enora?"
"I think we should cut them down. Anyone who bullies Aslin and the others deserves it."
"Indeed. It’s clear they are a hindrance to intercontinental exchange. Such people are nothing but a nuisance to both the Haire Church and the Findar Empire."
*Nyu?*
The nuance feels a bit off, but as Enora-onee-sama said, there’s no doubt they are a hindrance to intercontinental exchange.
"That is the consensus. You have nothing to worry about."
"..."
"I’m glad you’ve come to an understanding. Now, let’s go."
Once Kagura-onee-sama and the others were convinced, we headed off to our work...
"Everyone, thank you for today. Thanks to you, we were able to secure their cooperation safely. Thank you, Aslin-chan, Firia-chan."
"You're welcome."
"This much is a piece of cake!"
We had successfully persuaded everyone. When Carrie-onee-sama asked, everyone had nodded in agreement. All I and Firia-chan did was hold our giant hammers at their sides.
"...This is definitely going to be a headache later."
"How are we supposed to report this to His Majesty..."
"...I didn't see anything."
"Well, even if it becomes a headache, it’ll likely just be some petty harassment, so just endure it."
"It is the most peaceful way to handle it, after all."
For some reason, Kagura-onee-sama and the others were holding their heads in their hands, while Onii-sama and Milly-onee-sama comforted them. Since we were just holding our giant hammers, we didn't do anything wrong, right?
"That was masterful. To think you’d corner them like that."
"Indeed. The line about 'even Aslin-sama and the others are cooperating' must have really stung those losers. I mean, it’s a total disgrace to be forced into nodding by children, isn't it?"
"Indeed. They were told with a smile, 'Even children are helping—and these are Weed’s children, meaning children from another country are helping, yet you refuse?' That must have hit home. And, of course, being threatened with giant hammers was the final nail in the coffin."
"Indeed. If they didn't help, they’d lose all face. And what awaits them now is..."
Deryu-onee-sama said that, looking toward us...
"...the label of being adults less capable than children."
"Well, it’s impossible for Aslin-sama and the others to be unable to work, after all~"
Kirue-onee-sama and Sasari-onee-sama added.
"Hmm, I don't really get it, but I’ll do my best to help!"
"I will do my best to help, too!"
Since we’re all working hard together, I don’t think it matters who is the best, but I’m just glad everyone agreed to cooperate. Now, everyone can pool their strength to prepare for the arrival.
"What should we do next, Carrie-onee-sama?"
"Are we building a castle? Or a fortress?"
"Oh, no, no. We just need to prepare a place for 10,000 soldiers to stay and rest. So, we don't need a castle or a fortress."
"Then, what should we do?"
"Are we carrying luggage?"
"That’s right. We need some supplies so the 10,000 soldiers can spend their time comfortably."
I see, the next job is carrying luggage. Firia-chan and I will do our best.
"Where is the luggage?"
"Kagura, Mikos, Solo, where are the necessary supplies for the reception right now?"
"Eh? Ah, yes. His Majesty is currently arranging the supplies, and preparations are underway at the royal castle’s warehouse."
"In that case, I’d like to say let’s go get the luggage now, but I must first report to His Majesty about everyone who offered their cooperation. So, that’s all for today. Thank you both. And thank you all very much as well."
With that, Carrie-onee-sama bowed in gratitude.
"It’s okay! I’ll help tomorrow too!"
"I will help too. Leave the heavy luggage to us!"
"Yes. I look forward to your help tomorrow as well."
And so, we made our promise for tomorrow and stayed at the castle in Haiden. We’ll work even harder tomorrow.
Adults who can't work as well as children. There is no label more damning than that.
Well, it is a bit of a rule-breaker that the "children" in question are Aslin and her friends.
As mentioned in the comments, these kinds of conflicts happen everywhere, and one could argue that those who act in ways that overturn common sense are also part of the problem.
In the end, it’s a matter of who maneuvers effectively and gains the most support.
How was the pre-registration for the *Victory Dungeon* game on DMM Games?
Did you manage to pull an SSR?
If so, you’ll just have to do your best when the game starts. (Blank stare)
