第１５８３堀：教会のお金の項目は難しい (Part2)

"All we can do is maintain this Weed Church and cooperate with Weed itself. And then, support for old Vinocia through Lilishe, is that about it?"

"Yeah. If we're discreet, we can go directly, and I've told Sister Knocia, so we can go help if necessary."

"That's right~. But, we should only help the absolute minimum necessary~. After all, the屯田兵 (Tundenhei - settlement soldiers) from Weed are stationed there~. We'll leave the basics to them~."

It's true that we can't leave everything to everyone remaining in the old capital of Vinocia all at once.

Kaya-chan also said that taking care of fields takes at least a year or two, with things like cultivating seedlings and dealing with climate changes.

"Right. Let's leave that to Weed. It's like an alliance contract with Hinsua. And then, there are the former members of the Dark Guild that Yuki reported on."

"He said they went towards the sea with the core, right? Lilishe-sama, do you have any ideas?"

"I can't really say~. The coastal areas are generally full of monsters, so there aren't many countries there. Of course, not as many as in the Sea Syphon Kingdom of the Haiden region, but there are small countries that profit from fishing. However, at worst, they're in a very disadvantageous position, caught between land and sea, so there aren't many people there~."

"That's true~. When I was alive, the Haiden region also had tons of monsters. The sea was truly terrifying~."

"Oh, you knew about the sea in Haiden too? I thought you were fighting inland all the time."

Yes, I thought so too.

Hairen-chan was fighting against Dungeon Masters and Demon Lords with Souta-chan and Enor-chan, right?

I can't imagine you had time to go to the sea~?

"When I was fighting and moving around with Souta, a Demon Lord unleashed monsters on the sea in the rear. Because of that, we were sandwiched between front and back and couldn't move, so we went there."

I see.

Were you a volunteer army at that time?

If so, you were used freely, and it seems like something Hairen-chan would do~.

"And then, I saw the sea for the first time. While I was playing on the beach, a giant monster fish flew out of the waves and snapped at me."

"Ah."

I can imagine that.

"When I thought it was bad, the next thing I knew, a giant pincer came out from below while it was flying and held the fish."

"Hmm?"

You weren't eaten?

Senal-chan is also tilting her head, finding the flow of the story a bit unexpected.

"Then, a large quadrupedal beast came from the forest, and it turned into a big free-for-all, including us~."

"Since you mentioned fish and pincers, it was probably something like a crab, right? And then, a quadrupedal beast. And Hairen and the others? What kind of situation was that..."

I try to picture it too, but I don't quite understand.

Not a three-way battle, but a four-way battle?

"Well, it was really bad back then~. At that time, I could barely handle one enemy, and there were underwater enemies I wasn't used to. I managed to find an opening and defeat all three of them."

"Instead of running away, you defeated them. That's just like you."

"That's right~."

Normally, there's no need to fight unnecessarily in a disadvantageous situation.

"What are you saying, Senal? We came to defeat those monsters, so what else would we do but defeat them?"

"You don't have to defeat them on the spot. Isn't it normal to observe the situation and wait for the right time to defeat them?"

"Ah, now that you mention it, that's true, but I felt like I had to do it right then and there."

I see, Hairen-chan's intuition kicked in.

In that case, I can't say anything.

Since you're here now, it probably wasn't a bad outcome.

Senal-chan seems to understand that too.

"Haa... I can picture Souta and Enor struggling."

"Why are those two coming up there? And besides, the sea is really dangerous like that. Unless there's a barrier or it's outside their habitat, it's seriously dangerous. That's why there are so few coastal countries. This Rogari is one of those places, right?"

"Ah, I see."

I thought Hairen-chan had said something about the sea, but it leads to this.

"For now, shall we tell Yuki-san and the others to be careful with their sea survey~?"

"Yeah. Dressa is in charge, and Asurin and Hiiro are involved, right? No matter how strong they are, if they get snatched and dragged into the sea, they'll be in trouble, so they need to be careful."

"Indeed, those children are even more so than us."

And so, we went to ask about their thoughts on expanding into the sea.

As I've said before, money matters are truly difficult.

Even in the real world.

Religion too.

So, when those are involved, it becomes even more difficult.

I wish I could live a relaxed life without getting involved as much as possible.
