714 View The Former Strongest, Most Peaceful Streets
After breakfast, Soma and Aina were walking around the city of the Imperial Capital trying to sew between people.
It's not that you're running around or anything, there's so many people that you simply have to.
I knew enough as of yesterday that there were a lot of people, but apparently yesterday Victoria was with me that people were somehow paving the way.
That's something like the Imperial Capital, which is said to be the most prosperous in the world?
"Hey...... are you sure?
And as I walked, I looked around for a moment, and Aina accidentally asked me that.
You don't have to bother asking back what it is.
So Soma just shrugged her shoulders back without talking about it.
"It doesn't matter. I'm actually convinced."
- The reply given by Somma to the proposal from Victoria was positive.
In other words, he offered to stay in the Empire for at least a few days.
The reason for this has to do with why Victoria has proposed such a thing in the first place.
Says Soma knows nothing about the Empire, he said.
That's why I swallowed up all the Holy Capital's arguments, and when I summed it up, they said that it was my intention not to quit fighting the Empire.
And in a way it is true.
All I know about the Empire is what someone told me, and all I know with my own eyes is yesterday and today's share.
Therefore, I thought it might not be a bad idea to stay for a while if I were to say so.
"... well sure, all I know is what I've heard. But... no matter what country this country is, it doesn't make any difference that the Empire is working with the devil, does it?
"Well, I made myself clear. Or maybe the emperor should say, not the empire, but it won't make a big difference."
Working with the devil means he's trying to destroy the world.
It doesn't matter if that's the way the world is supposed to be, or something like that.
If you are trying to destroy the world as a result, then that is everything.
"Nevertheless, if you think normally, it would be something that everyone doesn't want to die for?
"... well, I guess so. But that's it?
"That means there's a reason why we did it, right?
That's all I said, and you understood what Soma was trying to say, Eina has turned a frivolous gaze.
In words, you're thinking weird again, something like that.
"You're not thinking about anything weird, are you?
"I haven't said anything yet. But even if I say it's not weird, it's just in you, right?
"Well... you don't know what you're talking about"
Jito, shrug your shoulders at Aina as she turns her eyes.
I'm not really thinking about weird things in fact.
And the answer is after you've already given it.
That's why I chose to stay here because I thought there must have been a reason to judge this empire that way.
"If we just need to unilaterally defeat the hostile in the first place, we don't need to think about anything extra from the beginning."
That's what we're talking about when we get rampaged around here, when we assassinate the emperor, and we're probably lurking somewhere. We're just talking about defeating the devil.
I have the pride of choosing which of these is possible.
But then, it wouldn't make sense.
I don't think that discussing it with anyone will solve it, etc.
Still.
"If we can understand each other without dispute and explore compromises, that would be best? Above all, if that's possible, it's going to be over."
If I can finish as soon as I can, I've never been over it.
But for that reason, I don't want it to end badly.
The origin of Soma is, in the end, admiration.
And for the sake of admiration, if you're going for it, you don't want to be ashamed of yourself.
"Ha... well fine. Why don't you just do whatever you want? Whatever you say, you will anyway... and I'll just have to keep up with it."
Soma loosened her mouth to that word of Eina because that statement is technically a mistake.
What Victoria asked for was Soma's stay, and it was also Soma herself who recognized it.
In other words, Aina can go home if she wants to.
I suppose that means on her own, Eina is a special magician.
There's no way I can do that.
But Aina didn't even make such a gesture, and naturally chose to follow Soma.
If I didn't think of anything there, it would only be a lie.
But Soma shouldn't say anything either, more than Eina didn't dare to tell me about those things.
Therefore I nodded, expressing my gratitude only in my heart.
"Um, that's what I'm gonna do."
Well, that's how the story came to a conclusion, and Soma looked over the spot again.
In sight is a noisily busy sight, which is a testament to richness and prosperity.
It would be enough to see that face that everyone enjoys that happiness.
But if you look at them... No, or that's why Soma's face didn't float.
You noticed that face, and Aina asks with a twinkle of an eyebrow.
"... so what's wrong with you looking like that so fast when you like it? Was there anything that bothered you?
"Hmm... I'd rather have nothing to worry about than something to worry about."
"Huh...?
I don't know what that means, but I don't respond to Aina, and I look around again.
The sight there is peace itself.
Regardless, something noticeable is just not happening right now, and there will be problems.
Or maybe we're in the middle of something going wrong somewhere we haven't seen it yet.
But at least I'm happy it's there now.
And it was the same yesterday.
"All over the city yesterday... and even in today's dining room. The emperor was laughing. And it seemed to be from the bottom of my heart, at least in my eyes."
"... well, yeah. I have no objection."
So? and Aina urges me ahead with her gaze.
Soma still did not respond immediately and opened her mouth, looking at the people with a grin.
"I wonder what the hell you don't like about this? Why the hell would you want to destroy the world?
I don't need a reason to try to live.
It is only logical that we need no more reason to wish for the survival of the world than that is normal as an organism.
No matter, some will wish for a reason.
Soma and the like are the crunch.
It is for the desire of the polarists themselves that they do not want the doom of the world.
But not the other way around.
You always need a reason to die.
Even if it doesn't seem like it at first glance, there's some reason there.
Not to mention the demise of the world.
What reasons exist for fulfilling, such as wishing such a thing?
Or I can tell if this is a typical desire for ruin or someone who carries obvious misfortunes.
But Victoria was admired by so many people that she had a happy grin on her face.
Some of them don't seem to like it, but as Eina said yesterday, it's hard to say that they like it from 10,000 people, etc.
I mean...
"... I see. Sure, she has no reason to bother trying to destroy the world. I think it's even the other way around.... So, I was curious, you mean?
"I didn't think this was going to lead to any reason."
I just figured out the obvious, that there's still going to be a reason for it.
Nevertheless, I can't say enough that this is irrelevant.
"Hmm? Why?
"It's the emperor who's told me to learn more about this country? If so, there is such a chance that my seniors will be annoyed by it?
"... that's true. However, to be honest, I just see a peaceful sight spreading..."
I've never been shown hostility, but it doesn't make any difference that this is an enemy land.
There is no such thing as being too alert.
I just don't know what would happen if something like that really happened, not a trap or anything... but that's when it happened.
I just have to think about it then.
Whatever.
"Well... I wonder what we're going to do"
It was while Eina and I watched the seemingly peaceful sight and whined about it that Soma exhaled one breath.
