Jin asked them both to come to the ...... cafeteria, especially to hear Hanna's opinion.
"What are you doing here, Erza?"
Hannah was the first to arrive.
Martha was carrying the crops from Hale into the kitchen to be used for cooking, so she came to the cafeteria a little late.
"Jin, Elsa is looking well, isn't she?
"Yes, Martha is too."
Jin then explained that he was going to put the Duke of Jags on a diet.
"What a funny idea Jin has again!"
"You're a big girl, aren't you?"
Both of them smiled at me, though a little dumbfounded.
"Is it good for you to make that meatball of a king lose weight?
"Yes, that's why ......"
Jin explained that the current Duke of Jags is capable, for better or worse, and that even if he can't change his mind ......, he would like him to remain the Duke until there is peace, even if only on the surface.
"I see. World affairs are complicated, aren't they?
"Yes, it is."
While Jin and Martha were talking, Elsa and Hannah were talking about dieting.
"...... I don't think it's possible to lose 50 kilos a day, no matter how you think about it.
There are surgical ways to do it, such as surgically removing the fat layer and then allowing it to heal.
There is a method called liposuction in the modern earth.
"Hmmm...you're right. I don't think you should do such a surgery, not if you are a seriously injured patient.
"But the Duchy of Jags might do it."
"Oh, ...... that kind of country?"
Hannah is often in Hale, so she doesn't know much about the situation in Ars.
"Yes, it's a troubled country.
"Isn't this the country where Mr. Rhodoth was under house arrest when you first arrived here?"
Yes.
"...... what happens when that lord king dies?"
"The people will panic, the old man says."
"Oh, I see. He's a pillar of the state after all, and even more so if his successor hasn't been chosen yet.
"Yes, that's what I mean."
The conversation seems to be shifting from dieting to other topics.
"So, will he change his mind?"
"I don't think so. But once they realize that they can't take on the world by force, I think they'll calm down on the surface.
"Ah, yes. That's what happens when you can think logically. I don't want you to get upset and become desperate.
"I really think so."
Meanwhile, Jin and Martha are talking.
"...... such a person may be smart, but he is like a selfish child who has grown up as he is."
They were talking about the Duchy of Jags.
"Someone slapped me and woke me up. Someone needs to slap him and wake him up.
"Ha-ha-ha."
Jin could only laugh at Martha's boldness.
"But is it too late for that? Once you're old enough, it's almost impossible to correct your personality, isn't it?
"Of course.
So, you want to show this Lord King the world at large? You're trying to go around the world again, aren't you? Well, it's just like Jin, isn't it?
"Ha-ha-ha, thank you."
Jin laughed to cover it up, but Martha was not laughing.
"It would have been quicker if Jin had taken direct action, but he did a good job, you know. You've got a lot of work to do, you know that?
