Hisshou Dungeon Unei Houhou

Side: Teak, first prince of Galtz.

We had finally decided on a rough policy going forward.

However, this alone will not be able to convince those bureaucrats, or even those who genuinely support the country.

We chose to believe only in Seraria-dono, theres something about her. It made us feel like unnecessary thoughts and procedures were simply in the way.

Im guessing it wont be the same for the ministers of this country though since they are missing the whole picture and, as usual, will only see things from their own eyes1).

Im starting to feel anxious.

In order to suppress that anxiety, I need to find a positive point or an advantage our side holds in the upcoming discussion, and then focus on how we will turn that into victory.

Well, just as Higil said earlier, refusing them doesnt seem to be an option.

The truth is, Galtz is rather isolated, politically at least, from other countries.

If other countries bare their fangs, then we have no choice other than to deal with them ourselves.

(Teak)Then as decided, Serarias proposal will be accepted. Im sure the opposition will be harsh though.

(Higil)Yes, its about making a Dungeon underneath the Royal Capital after all. Surely, they will be more than just opposed to it.

(Teak)Thats obvious. However, they have the official recognition of both Ritea and the Adventurer Guild with them. If we use those, do you think we will make it through without forcing things?

(Higil)Its possible. But then again, that may actually make things even worse, since Ritea is another country and all.

(Teak)Thats true. Do you think we will be able to hear their issues concerning the Dungeon and then answer accordingly, or do you think a more active approach would be better? Perhaps we should consult with Seraria and see if they have any good ideas.

(Higil)Thats reasonable.

After all, its come to this?

In the end, it doesnt really matter how we deal with the opposition.

In order to limit their options as much as possible, we need to repel their complaints decisively, and then throw the ball back at them.

This time, getting some help will probably be necessary

(Teak)But what would you do if they were to say something unexpected?

Although its rude, I articulate my greatest anxiety.

(Lowel) Fumu. I think its not a good idea to exclude that possibility.. huh?

(Higil)Nii-san. If Seraria-dono and the person who can control the Dungeon bear malice,2)there isnt any way we would be able to oppose them. Or rather, do we even have any means of dealing with them directly? You saw it, didnt you? That indistinguishable doppelganger. If they wanted to, they could kill off a few of their fake leadership with our bodies and then crush Galtz with apparent righteousness on their side.

(Teak)I know that. But the fact that they arent using such an advantage means that other factors have to be considered. For example, we should be wary of third parties, who dont wish for our friendship. Or are they going to squeeze us dry and then crush us?

(Higil) I see. You are forced to antagonize the partner whom you otherwise wouldnt dare to lay a finger on, because of a third party.

Yes, I would like to avoid hostilities against the Dungeon Seraria-dono rules, even if we make a mistake.

But those who arent comfortable in regards to the friendship will make their presence very clear.

They will definitely do their best to stop the creation of a major threat to the capital.

The only thing we have to consider is countering them.

(King Galtz)Umu. Then it is necessary to discuss things with Seraria-dono first.

(Teak)Yes, now we can tell Seraria that we have discussed her proposition and accepted it. And that we would like to talk about how to persuade those ministers.

(Higil)Thats right. It will be easier if we talk with Seraria once.

(King Galtz)Then, lets meet with Seraria-dono again tomorrow then.

Hah

Side: Seraria

(Seraria)What do you think will happen?

We return to the room we were given and all our members are chatting using Call.

We no longer need to use the display as well.

I didnt tell the people from Galtz about this function, but they will surely be surprised when they do hear about this.

(Lutz)Lets see. I understand their characters a little now and it looks like we can afford to trust them, but the surroundings Wont their retainers restrict things with various conditions to try and stop the Dungeons creation, or at least to try and move it out of the capital?

(Shera)I agree. I think that otou-sama and nii-sama will think in that way too.

(Lulu)Thats right. Unlike Ritea where it was pretty much forced on them. I think they will try to push for some advantages and conditions.

Seems that Shera and Lulu have the same opinion..

(Seraria)Dear, what do you think?

My most trusted husband and owner of the best brain. Maiden correction3)

(Yuki)Thats right. My opinion is very similar to theirs.

(Seraria)Similar? Dear, what do you mean by similar?

(Yuki)Well, if things dont go well, we might be called to appear before Galtzs retainers.

(Seraria)I think its natural, though?

(Yuki)No, its all of us.

(Seraria). Oh, that sort of thing.

I see.

If that happens, it may become troublesome.

(Shera)Ano, if youd please excuse me. Is there any problem if I appear before my retainers?

(Yuki)No, thats not the core of the problem. But if by any chance, an opponent attacks us stating we are monsters and fooling them all, how do we respond?

(Shera)Huh, that!?

Ara ara, Sheras eyes flashed in bewilderment.

(Lutz)It is because we are not fake even though we are?

(Kaya) Resist. Or more accurately, annihilate.

(Kur)Thats it. I agree with Kaya. Even though were using Doppels, we are still messengers and our own persons. If they mean us any harm, of course well kill them.

(Rock)Well, I dont want to die either. I have my pride as a Guild Master after all. Of course I will protect everyone with my body.

(Lulu)Thats right. If they try to bring harm to danna, even if this body is a fake, I will retaliate with all of my strength

(Seraria)It is of course natural. If they try to hurt my husband or any of us, I wont be going easy on them.

(Naruja)Me too, I dont want to get hurt. Lets show them the power of the fairy tribe.

Everyone agrees on a counterattack.

Its no surprise.

(Yuki)No, thats not how we should deal with it. Its normal to defend yourself, but what about the negotiations with Galtz if you do? Can you restart them? Will you go home? Or maybe its fate And its just fine to pick a fight and go to war?

Oh, I forgot.

But.. What should we do?

(Lutz)Yes, Id go home. Well if they threaten us, then I would tell everyone about Galtzs actions.

(Kaya) I also vote to return. Its my job to protect everyone.

(Kur)Me too, Im in favor of returning home. As an escort, I dont want to stay in a hostile country.

(Rock)Well, Id like you to continue the negotiations without having to leave, because there is something I have to do with the Guild in Galtz.

Lutz, Kaya and Kur want to go home?

Rock has errands related to the Guild, is it normal business for him?

(Shera)A-ano, I dont Think that will happen, but.. At that time, Id like to continue the negotiation somehow!!

(Lulu)I agree. Ritea did something similar and we dealt with it somehow so that the negotiations still continued.

(Shera)I Help me, I dont want Galtz to fall as slow as stopping the negotiations with a rough fight.

Shera and Lulu are obviously trying to continue.

Naruja also wishes to continue.

(Seraria)My dear?

(Yuki)If I state my opinion, my wives are going to turn a complete 180. NO COMMENT.4)

(Seraria)That may be true.

I agree, if Yuki says something backed by deep reasoning, no maybe even without a reason, we will just agree with him.

(Yuki)And Seraria, if its a draw, the conference gets extended and we are tied in a deadlock, what will you do?

(Seraria)Well

Our purpose is to secure a promise of support towards our independence.

If we dont receive that, then things get annoying.

I understand that there would be little damage and that the choice to return is a bad one.

(Seraria)I am in favour of continuing the negotiations. But, if a situation arises, are you confident that we can escape?

(Shera)Ye-yes!! Of course!!

For Shera, this conversation must be bad for her heart.

Should we finish up for the day and resume tomorrow?

(Seraria)Well, lets have an in-depth discussion tomorrow. Im tired, so shall we go to sleep for now?

Everyone quickly agreed and I stopped the call, hug my husband as a body pillow and sank into the bed.

Now, what are you going to do, Galtz?
