Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 397

 

Plot



After returning to Marguerite


As always, there was a large amount of documents in the office.


"…Isn’t there a lot?"


"I've reduced the number..."


While I was away.


Doss, who had been taking care of things while I was gone, replied with a weary expression on his face.


He had dark circles in his eyes.


"Well, it's fine. It's thick enough that I can finish it by early morning tomorrow."


"You'll finish it, as expected..."


Can't you finish it if you just keep going, taking breaks as usual?


"More than that."


"A reaction to the airship?"


With our country's airship


The Empire's most advanced airship also landed in the royal capital.


I want to know the reactions of those who watched it.


"The people are not really surprised."


Is that so


That's a bit disappointing


"That's why it was easy to understand the reaction of the interlopers."


"How many people?"


"A few dozen already."


That's a big deal.


"I guess you could say the second preparation is complete..."


"...? Isn't this the first one?"


Oops


Even if it's Doss, I can't tell him this.


"If you don't want to go to hell, don't pry any further."


"I'll keep quiet, but what do you want me to do now?"


"What about 3 and 4?"


"There will be no delays either."


I have returned home.


Accompanied by an Imperial airship.


It will spread widely to the West through intermediaries.


That will be the signal for the plot to begin.


"Are you sure they will come?"


"I'm sure they'll come."


So we'll deal with it.


That's enough


"Ah, that's right, Doss."


"What?"


"The most obvious evil. What do you think it is?"


"The most obvious evil? Not the greatest evil?"


"Yeah"


"Hmm... invasion, huh?"


"You're half right. The most obvious is to invade and be defeated."


"Isn’t it the same?"


"No, even if we invade and plunder and massacre, if we win, it's not evil."


After all, everyone who deems it evil will be killed.


If there is no one who judges it evil, it is not evil.


"I see, whether we attack or defend. If we don't win, there's no future for us, right?"


"Well, I don't need to worry."


"What are the odds of winning?"


"A hundred battles, two hundred victories."


"Isn't that a strange calculation?"


"It's not strange. It's fine as long as you win twice in one battle."


When I return from the Empire.


At that point, Marguerite exists.


Victory was decided at that point.


Shelma was too late.


Well


We're the ones who slowed them down.
