~097: Compensation and future relations!
Well, this and that happened, and now for soe quantity of various alcohols available Well, it’s probable that it’s just various fores, but there was a such a necessary item out for the festivities
But, well, as expected, it was simply too much to ask for Japanese style sake, but since I had desired them, an abundant variety of drinks had been prepared
As it would turn out, the drinks were rather popular ahts
In their seular “ Teotten, but it would seem that my hopes won’t be fulfilled
This chain of events will probably proceed steadily
Thus, the next day caroup and my oill finally be completed Various discussions about the future relations between Tempest and the Church will probably ensue
As it would stand, as we’re the victim’s side and the one that had received the e A lenient response in light of the current situation is sieneral common sense
However, a specific increase in the severity of the charges placed on the actual criminal sect known as the Blood Shadoas emphasized It was certainly different from the desired intentions of the Church
Because of a little thing known as ement, the responsibility for recent events have not fallen coh the Holy Knights should end up paying a certain aation war’s failure this time around Well, since the location of Tempest is too far away from the territory they control, even if territory was to be passed onto me, I wouldn’t be able to use it thatthe fact that this can si friendly relations abroad as a priority above the acquisition of gold and whatnot
While thinking of such things, the un in earnest
The participants frourdo, Benimaru and myself Aside from that, we also have the Goblin Chiefs ere, for this purpose, promoted to Minister status
From the Church’s side would be Hinata and her 5 Captains
At first, I had wanted both sides to acknowledge reciprocal recognition As this wasany additional coht up afterwards
With that said, before we truly started the conference, both parties decided it would be beneficial to exchange general inforenerally consisted of each party’s respective situations, such as their current exportable goods and so on
After that, the round perspective, I watched for any changes in the balance of the negotiations
If there were to be any nments or complications from either party, it would be best if they were corrected in the early stages of the negotiations
After a fewout
Needless to say, froan with the Church’s sponsored invasion frootiations changes depending on the attitudes of the other party, yet the stances of each party reed
As for the Church’s position, Hinata mentioned that there was a problem with the current request froe that contradicts the very teachings of the Church This is an important matter that could very well lead to thedone, this e in the loss of the Church’s influence, or at the very least the di of it
This was apparently the reason why the annihilation of said Monster Country was of the ut to Hinata, the Church needed a just cause and a cover story to deal with the situation
Hence, they chose to utilize the fact that the Fardom had openly showed their desire to secure their profit Giving the Kingdom a suitable level of claidom
Well… they have admitted that they are completely at fault here but… the fact that they were manipulated into action was unexpected
(Hinata)
“Fufufuf… I suppose it can’t be helped We’re completely defeated, so I doubt we’ll be able to ement
Besides…
I, the representative of the Church, believe in the sole existence that protects the lands and people
Those very people that convert to the Church find their salvation, and they cut off all other beliefs besides the Church
There is a limit to the number of people I can save alone I had believed that only saving those who followed the Church’s teachings was true justice
That’s also how I think even now… but…
I think that I have been mistaken
I should have lent my hand out to those who had striven to survive, to life and be happy In such, I suppose my actions was not true justice at all
I… no, if we had helped others for the si them, perhaps ould not have becoance
For, if we are true believers, we should help all those in need, not s That is the blindness of our arrogance
To even seek to accomplish this with every ounce of our power is probably the least we can do”
As ifsoht smile as she spoke
For the old Hinata, to only save believers was the logical choice To abandon those who do not believe in the Church’s teachings
She didn’t have the strength to save every last person who needed help, who looked into the sky begging for a savior It was a wish she probably thought was so that could never be realized
That’s why she decided that those who followed the teachings of god should be given priority to be saved
Her logical and calculative personality had cut off the non-believers cold-heartedly
While she stayed true to her personal dog to herself up until now
In the end, the number of people she saved was quite limited The very lines she drew limited the life that could have been sustained She could never be everywhere at once, but li incorrect decisions
In the end, while it is impossible to save everyone, there were far more lives that could have been saved
The line that Hinata had drawn before her own heart hether a person was a believer or not To not acknowledge soet the pain of not saving thereatly feared a decrease in the number of believers If the nu the number of people she could protect was reduced
Well, she’s was little hardheaded in the beginning Her train of thought is also a bit skewed, though I can understand her reasoning more or less I too came from the same world as her after all
Those who place all of their trust in god, leaving their decisions to those who interpret said god’s teachings often end up narrowminded Those who lack the capacity toones, leading to a spiral of decay
I’m only treated like an enemy because of the current interpretation of the Church’s doctrine With that alone, I don’t eneral becomes suspicious
If people were just more flexible and tried to see other points of view, the number of conflicts would be reduced severely
Well, there’s always the other reason for conflicts Hued over profits, authority, and the like Leading to the each other until they’re black and blue
In the end, there are those who seek to enrich thee, whereas those who are devout adherents to their faith will often be left crying in defeat
Well, it is story that’s quite easy to gauge really, I simply need to be the one who doesn’t cry in the end… Or rather, I should say the one who strives to not fall behind
In short I need to considerto others, if they use their heads, they will be able to come up with better solutions Well,a viewpoint around to place theeous position It’s almost second to huht just be an idea, but it’s a good idea to not just believe in a partner blindly
In this regard, I think Hinata may be a bit too serious
From now on I recommend that she should live more freely Get so
At any rate, thanks to Hinata being so candid and ad to her own faults, the talks were able to proceed smoothly
It seems that there were no objections fro belief in Hinata, so they wouldn’t voice any objections to what Hinata says
A large part of the discussion was exanition that the conflicts between both sides are now over with the Church ad to their faults
Now comes to the point of discussion coies, but there are certain things that I want to say in that regard”
With that, Hinata began to share her thoughts
After listening to what she said, it seedom, Ruberius, had no involvement with her attack
It seems that the hierarchy of the Church, or at the very least the positions relating to it are rather co, or whomever, it seems that there are multiple individuals who stand at the ‘top’ of the Chruch’s hierarchy
However, the true person that reigns at the top is the Holy Knight leader, Nicolas Cardinal
The raation war had nothing to do with the Kingdom where the Church is located
Therefore, in the end, the involvedom Ruberius is limited to only Hinata
So even if I had demanded some form of co that direction
From her viewpoint, it’s because she held the post as the head of the Pope’s personal knight that things had becohts and Holy Knights are two entirely different groups
Taking action solely frohts” never leave the vicinity of the Pope without his cohts, Hinata herself, was given perrowth of the Church That basically included overseeing the growth of the Holy Knight branch
It’s because of her position that the Holy Kingdom isn’t completely unrelated to the current incident
While it wasn’t said openly, the responsibility of this incident falls completely on Hinata It was in order to prevent any bladom that Hinata had withdrawn frohts
It’s not like this was the end of the story either Hinata had already been informed by her teachers that she could have been disposed of at any ties” as it were
Though it’s not necessary to be too suspicious about this es are rather brave and powerful
Since the Holy Kingdoh preparations to cut ties with Hinata should she fail or cause trouble with her current actions, it’s impossible to hold them accountable anymore
In this case at least, ill have to consider this as a separate issue from the Western Church as it were
I suppose it will be necessary to consent with the Western Church this ti to be done about the co for money for this situation
The aie our existence, so after they give their acknowledgeression pact
Well, ht named Arnaud
(Arnaud)
“I don’t really see any problems with this If you or your people were truly evil, there’s no reason for us to still exist right now”
With those words, he showed his approval
In contrast to the Holy Knight Arnaud’s opinion was the Vice Captain, the Holy Knight called Leonard
(Leonard)
“However, there’s still a probles of the Church? Especially when the entire authority of the Church depends on it…”
When he said this, his brow furrowed, conveying he is rather unconvinced
