Confusion
"Shiro-dono, do you think we can eat this?"
What Rion brought in his cart was a burnt horse.
"It smells a little sooty, but we can't be luxurious right now. Can you handle it?"
"Please leave it to me. I will boil it together with Lavinia."
"Please"
After that, after the battle, I met up with Yukikaze and the others.
I accompanied them to the village where the chief lived.
"Shiro-san"
"Wince, have you finished disposing of the bodies?"
"Yes, I buried them all."
There was a pile of corpses
Burnt corpse
Murdered corpse
Suicide corpse
The surviving Isalka people cried when they saw them.
"Shiro-san, what about the food on the airship?"
"With this number of people, four days is the limit."
We have a lot of magic stones for fuel.
There's no way I can tell them to eat the stones.
Anyway, let's look for something edible.
The ones that are going to rot soon will be the first to be used as food.
While we're holding out, we'll ask Tenrei to negotiate with them.
The other party is the Principality
Get help by using the risk of losing the perfume
Well, they're a major source of revenue, so I'm sure they won't abandon them.
…Yes
There was no way they would abandon them.
"...Why would they..."
My head hurts when I hear about Tenrei's report when she returned.
"Shiro, it's impossible. Let's take the Isalka people and escape."
I was told that the Principality had grown to hate the Isalka people in this short period of time.
Therefore, the Principality will not help.
On the contrary, [The chief must turn himself in to the Principality and atone for his tribe's crimes with his head].
"What happened?"
"…Sendora Malkin was killed."
"By whom?"
"The people he protected and has vitiligo."
"Nonsense! That's absurd!"
After hearing the report, Rion stands up and shouts.
"Rion, Malkin doesn’t treat people with vitiligo unfairly, does he?"
"No doubt about it. Sendora-san treated them equally without distinction from his followers, even paying them wages and calling a doctor when they got sick. And!"
"Calm down Rion. Tenrei, why did the people with vitiligo kill Malkin?"
"I don't know what their intentions are, but there is a man who claims to represent the rebellion."
His name is Baal Noon
"Noon, you mean the chief's relative?"
"...A family member with vitiligo."
He was banished 50 years ago.
"How old would he be now?"
"Over 80"
Is it really possible for an 80-year-old man to make such a great thing?
"Tenrei, is Malkin's death the cause of discord with the Principality?"
"Not only that, but they are raiding the towns where Malkin lived and the forts of the principality one after another and plundering them as much as possible."
"What's the scale?"
"It's said that there are only people with vitiligo. There are probably around 200 people."
How can they do so much damage on such a small scale?
"Chief, I hate to say it, but I think…"
"Baal... no, I think the person who calls himself Baal has the Five Eyes."
"Chief, we'll take Baal down ourselves. Is that okay?"
"Can you do that?"
But the next day
The situation becomes even more confusing
It is not only the Principality that wants the perfume.
Neighboring countries want it, too.
They saw the upheaval as an opportunity.
Invasions have begun against the Principality from surrounding countries.
The reason was [to save the Isalka people who were being treated unfairly].
