Chapter 109: Discussion
A fine day
A huge tent has been erected on the Great Plains of Ulfrica.
A large number of soldiers are gathered around the tent.
The soldiers are divided into four groups.
Soldiers of Ulfrica, the land of the wolf people
Soldiers of Berdreich, the land of the humans in the north
Soldiers from Kusuof, the land of the fox people
Soldiers from Sutska, the land of the cat people
Representatives from each of these groups went to the tent.
In the tent, there is a simple round table made of wood.
The representative of Kusuof speaks up.
"I am Tenrei, foxkin's Queen. Let's hope that this meeting will be meaningful."
A pair of fox ears are growing on the top of the head, and a fox tail is growing from the waist.
She has a stunningly beautiful appearance.
Her skin is white and her fur is golden
Not golden or blonde. It really was the color of gold.
The representative of Sutska speaks up.
"I-I am Myunich, the representative of the catkin. I-I look forward to working with you!"
This one has cat ears and a cat tail
I'd heard he was the king, but he was surprisingly young.
Maybe even younger than Quies.
He's obviously nervous and tempestuous.
"I am Gadoga, the representative of the wolfkin!"
"I am Quies, northern human king of Berdreich!"
The four of them have finished their introductions.
Of course, there are no introductions for the four member's entourage.
From here on, it's time to see Quies' handiwork
------------
“…......And that is why we prefer diplomatic relations with our three neighbors to those of the South and the Center."
After the war, Quies had decided
We will not attack them ourselves.
But if they did, they would fight back thoroughly.
Wealth for this purpose
Wealth gained to strengthen military power and prosperity of the nation
And we want to cooperate with the three countries.
Berdreich proposes to provide infrastructure to the three countries for this purpose
"I understand your logic, so let me ask you a question."
Fox Queen Tenrei asks
"Making roads, laying railroads, transporting iron materials, teaching us to write, teaching us to calculate. We have much to gain, no, too much. What do you want from Kusuof?
"Lumber"
"Is that what you want?"
"It is extremely important. We are going to make a lot of things. And for that we need wood the most."
"Don't you have forests in your country?"
“We certainly have plenty of trees, but we have to cut them down and plant seedlings. But once we cut them down and plant seedlings, it takes more than 20 years to harvest them."
"Is that a problem?"
"What I want Kusuof to provide is the technology to speed up the growth of the trees. I have heard that the foxkin have a way to do that."
"It's true, but it's not something that can be taught. Only foxkin can learn that technique."
"That is why we are having a discussion."
"...Hmm, I'll go home and think about it."
"I'll be waiting with great anticipation."
-------
Cat King Myunich asks
"W-what can we do?"
I sense a mixture of anxiety and fear in his words.
"King Myu-boy! Don't be so scared! Be more like a king!"
Gadoga hits Myunich on the back.
"I've heard from Gadoga-dono that catkin are timid, but they're natural hunters."
"I-I don't think that's true., but..."
"Have more confidence! We're superior in physical strength, but you're the only ones who can hunt in the most difficult terrain!"
"That's only if it's good for you. We would like you to teach our human adventurers how to fight."
------------
The conversation between Quies and Gadoga and king Myunich is lively.
Correction, King Myunich is having a lot of trouble.
As the old saying goes.
Let sleeping dogs lie
So I'll just watch from afar and say nothing.
"You. Oi, you."
There is someone who talks to me like that.
The Fox Queen, Tenrei
"Is there something you need?"
"........."
"Excuse me?"
She just stares at me and doesn't say anything.
"......You can never be too careful."
"Haa...?"
"Just saying it. It's none of your business."
