When May saw Matkal and Knogen enter the room, she looked surprised, said she would come back later, and went to close the door. I told him that was not necessary and invited them into my office.
"What's the matter, you two? Is something wrong?"
"No, ...... it's nothing to be concerned about. ......"
"I'm afraid I have to conclude first that it's about Mr. Vieille."
While May opened her mouth with reserve, Roni expressed her opinion openly. I looked at them, amused by their opposite responses.
"Do you think we should stay away from this?"
"No. It will not be a problem if Matkal and the others come."
Roni said to them, then turned to me and bowed her head.
"I have a favor to ask of you, Mr. Linos."
"A favor? What is it?"
"I would like to ask for Mr. Vieille's permission to go out."
"Permission to go out? I don't think that's a good idea. If May and Roni decide it's a good idea, I don't mind if you don't bother to ask me for permission.
"No, ...... we have some concerns when it comes to letting Ms. Vieille out of the house."
"Concerns? What do you mean, May?
According to May, Vieille is a genius at entrapping people. If we let her go free in the capital of Agartha, there is a possibility that we can make someone fall in love with her.
"What? That much? I don't understand it at all. ......"
However, upon closer examination, some of the staff members of the Agartha University Hospital have begun to develop an emotional attachment to Vieille. This is especially true among the younger staff members.
"What do you mean?"
He is a genius at reading people's minds. When I talk with him, I feel very comfortable. When you ask him a question, he instantly answers with the best solution for the situation. He is quick to recognize and sympathize with the problems and concerns of others, and gives the best solutions to them as well.
"Oh, ...... that little girl would be a piece of cake. Has May's heart been a little bit swept away?"
"No, ...... I'm ......."
"Mr. Vieille said there is nothing to say about Miss Mei, since all her desires are satisfied at the moment.
"Oh, really?"
"That's not true. ......"
"Well, is there anything you want or need?"
"I don't have anything in particular that I want. ....... If it's something I want to achieve, I'd like to see Alyria become more girly and ...... more like Eril."
"Yes. Alyria is a naughty girl. Well, when she gets a little older, she'll be more like a girl. But the biggest problem is not Alyria, but the Dragon King.
"The Dragon King?"
"That son of a b*tc* is always hovering above the house, stalking Allyria."
"Stooges?"
"I mean, he's been following Allyria around all this time. That son of a b*tc* needs to be beaten to a pulp. May, can you reinforce the Holy Sword? Preferably from a distance."
"I thought that would be ...... difficult. ......"
Loni's coughing brings me back to myself. What the hell were you talking about? Ah yes, Vieille. Where did the Dragon King come from?
"Sorry, sorry. Let's get back on track. What about Roni?"
"I don't have anything in particular. I'm just doing what I'm assigned to do.
"Right. Roni doesn't seem to have anything to be taken advantage of by Vieille either. Work is good, family is happy. When you go home, there's a nice meal and a kind husband waiting for you."
No, that's not true.
Loni is unusually shy. She clears her throat again and turns to me.
"But, Mr. Vieille, to tell you the truth, I can't say that your health is improving.
"Is that so?"
"Most severe is the lack of sleep."
"Lack of sleep?"
"Yes. Now I am forcing him to sleep by medication. However, the effectiveness of the medication seems to be waning recently. The medication I am currently taking is quite strong, and any stronger medication would put a considerable burden on my stomach and intestines. I, for one, am opposed to administering any stronger medication.
"I see. Is there a solution to this lack of sleep?"
"I think, hypothetically, that the most effective way to do this is to relax.
"Relax?"
He is always mentally sharp while he is awake. He has a lot of thoughts in his head. That's why he has trouble falling asleep.
"Oh, so you mean ......"
"I think it's important to forget everything."
"Ha ha. That's why I let him go out and touch things, so he can forget about the things he doesn't need to. But can she do that? If you're just going to put me to sleep, I might as well train with the Agartha army, right? Hey, Mato?"
"Yes. After a ten-kilometer run and some sword training with heavy equipment, we should be able to sleep like mud at night.
Matkal's words bring a wry smile to May's face. Apparently, that is not what they are aiming for.
May might be angry with me for saying this, but it would be better if the little girl was weak. It would be easier to control her if she is weak to some extent than if she is in perfect physical condition and unmatched.
May's concern is that she may make a serious error in judgment if she continues to be sleep deprived and then becomes ill. The point of concern is likely to be directed not only to Agartha, but also to the whole country of the Church of Crimiana. If that happens, he says, civil war could erupt once again.
"If they are put in a state where they can't control their emotions, you know what I'm talking about," he says. In the worst case scenario, there is a high possibility of a politics of fear. If that happens, many lives may be lost.
According to May, a person of Vieille's type would be in a better position for Agartha if he or she were in good physical condition and unarmed. The reason for this, he says, is the difference between communicating and not communicating.
Under any circumstances, Vieille who returns to Aphrodite will regard Agartha as a virtual enemy. In such a case, there are two ways to go. If the difference in power is obvious, he will take a cooperative course. If not, he will regard Agartha as a target of attack and devise a strategy. At the moment, it seems that Vieille's true intention is to take a cooperative course with Agartha.
If this is the case, should he and Vieille have a man-woman relationship for the future?
These thoughts suddenly crossed my mind. At that moment, I shake my head and deny the thought. If I do that, I'm playing into the hands of that little girl. Or rather, can I get aroused by that little girl? ...... is a difficult one. Fans might be outraged if they hear this.
"The point is, you need to get rid of your mental fatigue.
Knogen opens his mouth. He, too, says that he felt this way when he saw Vieille's condition.
"It's all about healing, isn't it? Seeing the scenic beauty, spending the same time ...... with the one you love... I think that's what he's missing.
"That's right. That's exactly what it is. For that reason, I thought, why don't you go out on the town for the time being and clear your mind, buy what you like, eat what you like,...... and spend such time, and your mind will be a little clearer.
Roni nodded in agreement. I fold my arms and look up to the heavens.
...... I can't help it. Maybe I should talk to her about it.
