“Will they give up once they see our power?”
“…I doubt it.”
I hear someone respond to me.
What would be the best way to make them give up? Is blood going to be spilled no matter what? How do we solve this without any lives being lost?
I feel like we can’t find the perfect solution no matter how hard we try.
If I’m on my own, this might turn into a disaster, so I need to think about it more.
Generally speaking, we know our country is on the higher side when it comes to combat power.
We have relations with the people of Migha too, making us feel that way even more. Then we have my power, and the combat power of elves and beast people, not to mention the monsters that formed contracts with me.
I don’t think people would normally try to put their hands on a place with so many people like that, but… Some people think they won’t give up no matter what.
And if we show off our power, it might backfire and make them want it.
I don’t want people to get hurt, but thinking that way is probably naive. We could capture the people coming this way, and then make them live in our country… No, well, it might be peaceful, but it’s ignoring the will of the people involved.
If we keep doing that, Lunid will be in trouble. I’m sure they don’t want a lot of their people to go missing.
I keep thinking about the best, peaceful path, but there probably isn’t one.
“In the end, we won’t know what action is best or if Lunid will give up until we try. So… I think some of us should make contact with them. If we have enough combat power, I’m sure we won’t lose…”
Says Miss Lan, and people around us nod.
“Then I’ll go!!”
I say without thinking, because I’m the strongest. I’m the miko, so people pretty much can’t hurt me. I think I should be the one to go.
But… As I expected, they say no.
I’m the miko. It would be awful if I fell into their hands. And ever since I became king, I learned I shouldn’t go in front all the time like that.
If I was in a position where I served someone, I wouldn’t want that person to face danger. But I never want people that are important to me to be in danger anyway.
Rather than everyone being in danger… I feel like I should deal with things.
I feel like people see the miko as a being that can do anything, but no. I’m different from others, but still… Things don’t always go my way.
“I know how you feel, Lerunda, but you’re special to this kingdom. If something happened to you, we would be in even more trouble. That would be the worst for this country. Gaius… Said the same as you, and I stopped him.”
“Gaius?”
“Yes, both of you want to take the lead and step forward… I think that is good, but we don’t know what will happen if something were to happen to the kings.”
“…Yes, I understand.”
Miss Lan’s eyes are very serious, and I nod.
I generally want to listen to her. Miss Lan is always thinking about our country, and us.
If I fall into their hands and they get information, everyone’s lives will be in danger, or they might get hurt.
…Yes, I definitely don’t want that. I don’t want to make that happen. I’d suffer forever.
Even if the monsters that formed a contract with me went with me, everyone would be worried. And so, I send them off while praying for their safety.

(The miko sends out people to make contact with the people from Lunid.)
