"We're leaving tomorrow morning. As if to gather at Estella's house."
Lucia's carriage led us to the twenty-ninth leg.
They seem to have prepared a gorgeous carriage with two horses.
"So are you going to stay at Estella tonight?"
"No. I'm thinking of staying in New Town."
In the 42 wards, Lucia had thought that only Estella's mansion could accommodate a Lucia-level dignitary, but Lucia herself said she wanted to stay in New Town.
Indeed, there are some accommodations in Newtown that the umaro used to make temporary, but they are a little less classy to accommodate Lucia.
Is that all right?
"If possible, I'd like to stay at Magmug and Delirin's for the night."
"Estella. It's a crisis in the 42 wards. Pick out this pervert right now."
"Well, wait a minutely. It's a little too late, so let's just overlook the warning this time."
Who gives you a good scolding? I told you not to give me a strange nickname.
"Do you mean "Ginepu" for the manager, "Magmagu" for Magdachy, and "Delirin" for Delirin, or "Loreppi" for me?"
Loretta's eyes sparkle in the image of her new nickname.
Don't rejoice at my nickname.
"No. You have a better name."
"Whoa!? What? What? Tell me!"
Loretta snaps up to Lucia with a soft smile.
Will Lucia's love of the Beast be demonstrated without animal features?
Or, just like Jeanette, the members of the Yodomari-tei are favorites.
Anyway, he seems to be embracing Loretta in a very friendly atmosphere.
Lucia calls Loretta with a gentle look as if she were an older sister staring sister.
"My sister-in-law," I'll be in your service for the night."
"Loretta! Come back now and evacuate Hammaro to a safe place!"
I didn't have the eyes to look at my sister!
His eyes were trying to make him my sister-in-law!
"Oh, anchovy! Are you going to disturb my first love?"
"I'm not here to aim very seriously!"
Isn't it urgently necessary for this city, such as the Youth Protection and Development Ordinance?
There are too many perverts that are hard to deal with for a lord or a guild leader.
Perhaps instinct has sensed danger, Loretta is hiding herself behind Jeanette's back.
You must not invite such a man into your family, though you are a lord and a nobleman aristocrat.
Loretta, your instinct seems to have made a right decision. That's as good as I expected.
"Lucia, let's inspect the river. in preparation for discussions with BU"
Estella offers a sound opinion to Lucia, who is running at full speed on the pervert.
He was briefly frightened by a slight glance at him, but he confronted Lucia in a resolute manner.
"Well, we need to get a grip on the situation in the Forty-two wards, and appeal to them how atrocious the twenty-ninth wards were. It's inhumane and very unacceptable."
Water is a lifeline.
Stopping it is an act of violence that could be taken as a declaration of war.
However, since neither the lord nor the people of the 42 wards of war can wish for it, it can only be criticized.
"Oh, my God!"
Delia stands up and screams.
Put your hand on the table and lean forward at us with grim expressions.
"Can't you sue the Superior Court? Because the twenty-nine wards are doing something wrong!"
They would say it's outrageous to block the floodgates.
But neither Estella nor Lucia looked very good at the opinion.
"The criteria for judging bad are not clear. I must be a little more careful."
"Why!? You're being mean, the twenty-ninth leg!"
wickedness
To put it simply, the actions of BU, including the twenty-ninth district, are just spiteful.
But...
"A trial is not such a simple thing,"
"Because! If you do something bad, you'll get in trouble!? If you do that, you'll get in trouble!"
"Well... that's true, but..."
Estella is really bad at persuading someone with an honest sensibility like Delia.
Estella, who has a habit of muddling words because of her lord, and Delia, who is not good at understanding the other person's intentions. The conversation between these two is difficult to get along with.
... well, I don't have time.
"Delia, can you give me a second?"
I'll help you convince Delia.
"It's a bad thing to say, when you change your position, your appearance changes 180 degrees."
"Is that so? Isn't it bad for anyone to see bad things?"
"For example, I want to touch my breasts, or I want to rub them! But Jeanette won't let me touch them."
"Oh, of course!"
"What? Jeanette is a terrible fellow, isn'
"No, that would be bad for Jiro."
"I agree with Delia,"
"...no doubt about it said.
"I can't defend you".
"Destroy the anchovy."
"I think it can't be helped, in this case, from an objective perspective."
Oh, my God. Are you outnumbered... This is why the world that is decided by a majority vote is evil (poison.
This proves Delia's "bad things are bad for all to see."
I'd better give a little more analogy to Delia."Delia, have you ever eaten Jeanette's beef cutlet?"
"No? You always eat salmon."
`What a waste!'
"What?"
The best way to convince Delia is to experience irrationality.
I'll make you feel a little blue, but... just be patient.
"Genet's beef cutlet is so delicious! It's so delicious that I want to thank you.
"Huh!? Oh, oh, I'm exaggerating... ugh."
Jeanette is writhing in the background, but... well, let me ignore her for a moment.
It's just a somewhat exaggerated analogy to persuade Delia.
"So Delia," Stop eating salmon and eat beef cutlet from now on."
"Huh!? Why? I eat it because I like salmon."
"The beef cutlet is really delicious." You'd better eat it! It's not the time to eat salmon! It's for you!"
`I like salmon!'
Thus, when the conversation becomes parallel, the following elements are introduced.
"Well, Estella. Isn't the beef cutlet delicious?"
As I spoke, Estella took my will into consideration and rode with exaggerated gestures.
"Of course, it's my favorite food, anyway." I feel happy eating Jeanette's beef cutlet. That's how good it is."
"Uh, Mr. Estella... I'm complimenting you too much..."
a ginette that shakes one's body by pressing one's cheek and mouth with both hands
He's happy to see his ears dyed red.
"So, Delia," You'd better eat beef cutlet instead of salmon. I recommend it."
"So, you're...!"
"Delilyn, you can calm down. Listening to other people's opinions is also important in life."
Lucia interrupts Delia's objection.
Next to it lies Magda and Loretta.
They must have understood my will. They seem to be willing to cooperate.
"I've never had a ginepu beef cutlet, but it's quite delicious." If it were made by Zinepu, it would be worthy to call it a masterpiece."
"...the manager's beef cutlet is the best dish."
"""The juices that ooze out of the meat trapped in the crisp batter are intertwined with the sweet and spicy sauce to create a superb taste." The meat tends to harden when deep-fried, but it's the head chef of Yodamari-tei, and it's a beef cutlet cooked with a special technique that you don't have to hesitate to call a divine act, so the meat is very soft! I'm sure there's no one in this world who doesn't know how delicious it is! It's that good, your beef cutlet!"
"I understand. I've never tried it, but I don't think it's hard to imagine what my friend Jeanette's food tastes like."
Finally, even Gilberta joined us and everyone complained about the deliciousness of the beef cutlet.
That's the end of course.
"So, Delia," You must not eat salmon from today."
"What!? Why is that so?"
"If you don't, you're not going to eat beef cutlet, are you? I want to feed you what everyone says is delicious, with good intentions. This is for you."
"Oh, my God!"
"Who thinks we should eat beef cutlet?"
As I say, I stretch out my arms.
The others raise their hands so that they can get tired.
"What? They say that out of kindness. for you."
This isn't mean.
I remind you that I'm saying it with perfect goodwill.
... well, I'm mean.
Estella then opens her mouth. Will you leave it up to him to finish?
"Delia, this is a trial. though it was quite simplified and extreme."
Estella shrugs with a wry smile at the obvious flow.
But he says to Delia with a soft but serious expression.
"From Delia's point of view, our conduct seemed mean, but we recommended beef cutlet for Delia's sake. They said, 'It's delicious, so I want you to eat it."
"But why don't you ban salmon?"
"That's one of the ways," It's not proof of malice."
The ban on salmon does not negate the goodwill of "I want Delia to know the deliciousness of beef cutlet."
If the issue is "whether or not there is good intentions," it will be on our side to win the case.
If the issue is 'Isn't banning salmon too much?' then the result might be the other way around.
"The General Court is not an impartial body,"
make a bold remark
After saying this, Estella glanced at Lucia, but Lucia said nothing in particular.
"It's a terrible act to block the floodgates and stop the water. I think it's the worst thing to do if you say you're bullied or mean. But that doesn't mean we can win the trial."
Even with the beef cutlet you had just had, a third party would think, "Let Delia eat what she likes."
At present, however, there is an atmosphere in which there is no choice but to ban salmon in Delia.
And a trial is everything that's decided on the spot.
In order to overturn it, another trial must be brought to justice must be brought to justice.
You can't say "without what you have now" after it's over.
In particular, it is quite difficult to overturn such a majority vote.
"The case before the General Court is a clear representation of hostility. It's not a good idea to do it at this stage. First, listen, talk, and plan carefully. If there's a peaceful solution, I'd like to put it first. You know what I mean?""... yes."
Delia agrees with Estella's persuasion.
breathe a sigh of relief at what someone understood
Maybe you're relieved that you didn't have to talk about another aspect that Estella didn't tell you.
Estella said, 'The General Court is not an impartial body.'
In other words, even if a lower aristocrat or a guild chief sues a higher person, a disadvantageous judgment is often given.
It's an institution run by aristocrats.
It's easy to imagine that the system will benefit the aristocracy.
Rather, it seems strange even if it is not.
It would be foolish of you to set it up.
"Anyway, it's important to calm down and have a forum for discussion now. And fortunately, they say they will arrange the occasion."
Estella says with an expression that she never thought was "lucky."
"We'll hear you, and wait till then."
That puts an end to this story.
Finally, Estella has been glancing at me like "thank you," but if you're grateful, she's asking me to send you one cute wink.
"Well, Lucia," Look at the river first, then at the waterways and reservoirs."
"Well, I'd like to see the situation of the fields, the woods, and the crops, if possible."
"Why don't you take me to that discussion, too!? Oh...?"
For the time being, Lucia's intention to use honorific language seems to have worked.
Delia speaks with a teething look, as if suppressing the urge to jump. impatiently, but hard
"I don't know what I can do, but I just can't stay still! For God's sake, take me with you!"
"Delia, calm down".
I understand the court case, but I still feel a sense of crisis about the floodgates. So I want to take action. I'm overflowing with such thoughts.
Estella soothes Delia, whose pupils remain open.
Well, I don't understand how Delia feels, but I can't bring her to a meeting of the lords.
I guess I'm out of place... Well, I think I'm an exception.
"I understand how Delia feels. But this time I want you to leave it to us."
"But..."
"Don't worry. We'll make sure to open the sluice gate. I promise."
"Really...?"
"If you don't, you can turn me into a frog."
Using the word promise, Estella reassures Delia.
Sure, Delia doesn't have that will, but it's a pretty dangerous thing to do.
"River water is an important thing that could threaten the economy of the 42 wards and the lives of the people living there. The sluice gate that dams it will release anything. That's also a top priority."
Putting her hand on Delia's shoulder, Estella declares with a powerful yet refreshing smile.
"I'll say, 'If you don't open the floodgates, you won't accept the discussion.'"
"... Is that so?" ......yes. Then I believe in Estella."
Then, Delia's shoulders finally relax.
Still, the look of anxiety has not been dispelled.
"But, brother," Would you open the sluice so easily?"
It was Loretta who raised such a question.
This is him, and he wants to get back the river where his siblings bathed quickly.
"The twenty-ninth district is running out of water, right? Then I feel reluctant to open the floodgates. or if I were the lord of the Twenty-ninth Ward, I would be reluctant."
"You are honest, Loretta,"
Well, everyone wants to get rid of the anxiety.
If you have concerns about water shortages, you'll want to take safety measures until the concerns are resolved.
however
"The sluice gate opens. by the end of the day."
I can assert it.
This is because it's a trick often used by fraudsters.
"Jillo, do you have the confidence to declare?"
an estella with the opening of the sluice gate as its first condition He must have prepared himself for trouble, but his eyes are serious.
If you have any confidence in opening the sluice gate, do you really want to hear it?
"This letter proves that the floodgates are easy to open."
He offered a letter to Estella.
It's all written in it, you know, the mean [poor] intentions of the guys.
"Didn't you think it was strange? This letter."
"What?"
an estella that receives a letter and pursues the contents of the letter
Lucia cuddles up and reads in silence.
"Close the floodgates because there is a shortage of water... I don't think that's funny, humanitarian or otherwise?"
secure water in a river for fear of water shortages
The act itself is consistent.
"Why now, then?"
The shortage of water was caused by more than a month of drought.
The past few weeks have been particularly severe, and even in the 42nd leg, there has been a water shortage that has caused some to collapse.
But it wasn't until this morning, right after the heavy rain, that the floodgates were closed.
"Isn't it better to take measures to prevent water shortage before the heavy rain when the water level in the river was falling?"
"But it rained, so that we wouldn't run short of water again..."
"No, Estella,"Instead of looking at results theory, we focus on human psychology in chronological order.
"It suddenly rained. There was no sign. Is that so?"
"... yes, yes,"
Remembrance and clear affirmation.
"I mean, until it rained, many people wondered, 'How long will this water shortage last?' "If the drought continues like this, it's dangerous."
Unending plights wear down the human mind and drive it to atrocities.
I can understand if you've been driven into such a difficult situation and decided to close the floodgates while understanding that it's inhumane.
But the sluice gate was closed after heavy rain and some water level had recovered.
"It's obviously out of season to close the sluice when it rains and the water level recovers and it's going to be fine for a while. for there are plenty of measures to be taken before closing the floodgates at the risk of gathering criticism."
If there is any other way, it is a good idea to start with something less repulsive.
But the twenty-ninth leg went against it.
He was the first to hit what seemed to be the worst move.
I can't explain this behavior except for provocation.
"... Jillo, do you want to say this is a declaration of war?"
"No, I think it's a 'threat' in order not to take such good care of it."
It's a common tool used by vicious collectors.
"You know what happens if you don't listen to me honestly, right?" he says.
"Thanks to the heavy rain, the water storage in the 42 wards has been restored to a viable level for a few days. I suppose you blocked the sluice in anticipation of that."
"I see,"
Lucia catches my words with a grim expression and sends me a supplement.
"Those who make threats are in trouble if they don't live."
In fact, the 42 wards were quite exhausted until just before it rained heavily.
If the floodgates had been blocked at that time... there was a good chance that one of the dead would have been killed.
"If that were the case, we would not be able to take such peaceful measures as negotiation, but rather the dispute involving the general court... It is highly likely that it would have ended up in a war."
It may sound dangerous, but if the lives of the people of the territory were threatened by self-centered behavior, some would rise up.
Twenty‐nine wards knew it.
That's why they blocked the floodgates and sent letters at this time.
"That's the message, 'If you want me to open the floodgates, come and hear what I have to say,'"
When I pointed to Estella's letter, Estella's finger felt faintly empowered.
I wouldn't have crushed the letter, but emotionally I would have liked to have done so.
"So, well, the sluice gate opens. by the end of the day."
say with conviction
There are no requests for BU in the twenty-nine wards.
"It stinks,"
"Well, those 'BU' guys are always like that."
Lucia reacts to Estella's words directed at me, and Estella laughs a little bitterly.
Maybe it's because I've been talking informally to Lucia, but it's because of the reputation of the BU guys.
hold a letter in one's pocket with a wry smile
"Anyway, we must understand the trap as a trap and jump in."
"That's it,"
Estella sighs in an involuntary manner.
"Well, let's take a look at the situation in the Forty-two wards. What, I'm with you. I won't let them have their own way."
"Yes, I'm counting on you."
Though it's just a pervert, Lucia is strangely reliable at times like this.
"Then I'll go and see Lucia,"
"Oh, wait a minute!"
Jeanette popped out of the kitchen to find out when Estella and others had touched the door to get out.
With his hands white, he stopped Estella with a plate of beef covered in powder.
"Well, if you don't mind, come and have dinner." I'll be waiting for you to cook delicious food!"
The beef in Jeanette's hand is obviously going to be beef cutlet.
...how happy I was!
"Yes. I'll come back when I finish my inspection."
"I'll interrupt you again,"
"Yes! I'll be waiting for you."
bow deeply without worrying about the dusty hands
After seeing Jeanette, Estella and Lucia left the Yodamari-tei.
"I'd like to ask you, the head of the river fishing guild, to guide me to the river."
"O, leave it to me!"
Clapping her heart, Delia walks out as if chasing Estella, and Gilberta follows her.
After all the guests were gone, Jeanette turned to us and said with a smile of sympathy.
"I'll go and cook delicious food!"
Jeanette returns to the kitchen with a radiant expression that makes you think the Milky Way has been reborn.
...Are you going to make it now? You're talking about dinner, right?
It's still morning.
"... Jiro. Emergency."
Also, I wonder when Magda was moving, she came out of the kitchen and ran to me in a little by little.
"...Beef cutlet war."
"Rough?"
"Hello! What's this?"
Also, we hear Loretta's voice, which seems to have moved before we know it.
"...what happened in the kitchen?"
Shocked by a bad hunch, Magda turns a question she doesn't want to ask.
"...a flock of beef cutlets sank in the hot oil."
"Are you a cutlet shop?"
"...the number of them, including those prepared, is well over twenty."
"Oh..."
Jeanette's food is delicious.
I always tell them it's delicious, and others say it's delicious.
Today's rave reviews, however, seem to have gone a little too far.
It seems that Jeanette's culinary spirit has been engulfed in a frenzy... ...that he's quite the type of person who indulges in it. Like footpots... when you start doing one thing, you lose sight of your surroundings... ...you know, Jeanette, you love being complimented.
"Oppa! The manager was casting a spell and started to sell beef as fast as possible to wipe out the cows!"
The spell is probably a humming. Jeanette has a unique sense of rhythm..."...Yasilo. We need some countermeasures.
"We can only serve beef cutlet today."
I don't know what do you mean?
Is this that?
Is it "Yabu-nake" or "Hyo-no-koma" or "Fruit Out of Lies?"
Anyway, I have to do something about it.
"Lucia is coming to dinner, so it will be reserved."
Lucia's essence should be kept out of the public eye as much as possible.
"So let's put our second and seventh restaurants in front of us and serve beef cutlet sandwiches there."
Bread won't work for the price, so let's tuck it between tortillas.
A beef cutlet with shredded cabbage and a generous portion of honey mustard will make it look like that.
If you put tables in front of the store and make them look like beer gardens, they'll look reasonably good.
"…I understand. I'll arrange it now."
"Then we're going to mobilize some brothers and sisters! And we're going to announce them on the main street! They're going to say, 'Today's the Beef Cutlet Festival!'"
A reliable employee begins to act in two groups.
Seeing off the backs of the two who rushed out of the Yodamari-tei, I set about my work.
For now...
"Let's calm down the runaway Genet".
No matter how much measures you take, if you make more than you can handle, you'll be in the red.
