The Strategist Knows Everything

Early morning.

I was visiting Dio's office.

"Earlier in the morning, I never thought they'd tell me I was returning my coat and dagger."

I heard Lady Dio whine like that, kneeling on my shoulders. Not surprisingly, but Master Dio is not angry.

"It's something you don't need now."

"I see. So? I wonder what we're going back to? Who am I talking to? Or Sophia's entourage?

"No, I thought I'd graduate, not go back"

"Graduation?"

Master Dio listens back. I would say that Dio didn't expect it.

"Yes, during the civil unrest, I fought with Diorud Arklite, I'm going to set myself apart as an Arklite military teacher and graduate"

"Graduated from the Army of Arklight? Do you want to be bigger?

"I originally fought only for Master Dio and Sofia while they were being flushed. But there are things that can't be saved, things that can't be protected, that are still being flushed that way. Besides, I learned that the way I am was hurting people. I think now is the time to be ready."

Saying so, I get up.

Master Dio was smiling at me like that. You must have guessed a lot in my words.

"Do you decide to be prepared…. I never thought I'd hear that from Yukito."

"Well, it feels like I wish I could."

"Not sure?

"To be honest, yeah. I don't like to take responsibility. I'm worried about not exceeding my tolerance."

"If you hold it alone, you'll be crushed. Advice from experience."

When Master Dio says so, he takes a piece of cloth out of his desk drawer. It was a light blue feather. I traded it for Dio's coat.

"I'll give this back. I got my coat back."

"Did you still have it for me? I thought you threw it away."

"It's obvious. This was when I vowed to survive with you. I would never throw it away."

Saying so, Master Dio hands it to me.

The nostalgic feeling comes back to my hands. I'll be wearing that feather soon. Why is it safer than the coat?

"What about Knox's command?

"I'll leave it with Dear Dio. However, Kaguya is the only one who can give instructions, so be sure to say no before moving."

"Okay. I'll keep your men for a little while. But for a little while, right? I can't bring people with such habits together."

That's what Lady Dio laughs at. The word won't mean it. You can do it if you try. It's just that you don't have the resources to spend that effort.

Knox is not a unit that can move freely, even if he is a commander-in-chief of the army, Dear Dio. It is only under the direct authority of Master Kaguya. That won't change if I'm off the captain. As for Dio, it must be difficult to treat him.

"Right. These are the people I collected myself. Once I've cleared up a lot, again, I'd like to lead. Until then, thank you."

Saying so, I turned my back to Master Dio and left the office behind.

■ ■ ■

The next person on his way is Bade's office. But near the office, I was stopped.

To Bade himself.

"What can I do for you?

"You know very well."

"I'm on my way to my office. You know what I'm talking about. So? Take off your coat, what can I do for you?

"I came here as the only Yukito Clay. I thought I'd make a little deal."

Bade moves his eyebrows slightly into my words.

Because of my cumming out, Bade is in a lot of trouble right now. When you say deal in this situation, you think it's about it. In fact, you're right.

"What's the purpose of this?

"From now on, I will teach Master Kaguya everything he needs. Naturally, that would ruin Chancellor Farn's plan to make Kaguya a puppet."

"You told me not to interrupt that? So, what are you gonna do to me?

I'm laughing inside out at the bait I've been eating. He eats fast because of his predicament. I don't know, you must have felt painful with my cumming out. Well, it was a cumming out in that situation, so I'm just in pain. I'm sorry if it hurts when I say it normally. He will surely be punished.

"I won't do anything. I will be thorough in teaching Kaguya all sorts of things. So I don't care what rumors you make, they say my words are false."

"It would be easier if you told me you lied?

"I can't do that. Because a liar can't be beside Master Kaguya. I don't think there's any harm in that. Anyway, if we want to unite the continent, we need a powerful, brilliant king. We're going to grow it now, so I think we have a common interest, don't we?

Bade thinks about it for a while and then he looks at me half-eyed. You must be trying to read our intentions. I'm sorry, but there's no intention. Like I said, I just want time to teach Master Kaguya everything and I just don't want to be disturbed.

"What's in it for you?

"You will be raised a king to serve. I'm not interested in taking power or standing up there. It's easier to do it with good people up there. Unlike you."

"That's a good turning mouth. How far are you serious? But that's fine. Okay. I won't stand in your way. Instead, don't do anything either. Be a Kaguya teacher."

"As you wish."

With a small smile I say so and turn my back on Bade. It's a promise, but to this extent, it would be as light and good as that. If you break it, it is beyond that that the damage is enormous. Even if you don't break it, you will be harmed.

Now I'm ready. It all depends on Kaguya.

Well, it's time to study.

■ ■ ■

Upon entering Kaguya's office, Kaguya glanced at the documents inside, and Sofia helped Kaguya work next to them.

Somehow, it's a good sight. visually. It's also good that the two of them are laughing amicably, even though they are eye-catching just to say they have two extraordinary beauties lined up.

"How's work?

"Sophia's helping me, so that's a big help."

Next to Master Kaguya, who says so with a smile, Sophia smiles graciously. It's as if my sister sees my sister. The age is higher than Kaguya's.

"Is that so? Then I'll help you, too. Let's get this over with. As soon as you get this amount."

"This much………? This is it?

Master Kaguya makes his face snap. There are about three piles of paperwork stacked on the desk. There was more when I was doing all sorts of things in the castle. That was enough not to end the day with Micana's assistant.

"I can't imagine how long it would take to see it all..."

"There. First, you don't have to read everything."

"Is that so? But isn't that what you don't understand?

I smile at Kaguya, who tilts his neck, without thinking about it. It takes time to get to work. I guess I'm reading all the documents they send me. Therefore, I also realized that important projects had not turned to me.

"You just have to grasp the gist. For example…"

I take one out of the paperwork and read it. I'm fast at reading texts. It has been remarkable since we began to see information and statuses that disappeared on the screen.

"Can I set up a temporary shelter to deal with voices saying that this is troubling people moving from near the border? It's a document called. What will you do?

"Uh, let's allow it!

"Yes, let's go next."

Mark the document as a token of Kaguya's approval. Did you say the time taken was about a minute? I'd like to pick up the pace a little bit, but it's still the first time. Is this the case?

"Yukito. When Yukito plays that role, he loses the job I do"

When I looked back, Sophia swelled her cheeks. If I do explain the paperwork, Sophia won't be able to do anything.

"Sorry. Sorry. So, can I ask for an explanation for Master Kaguya? I'll do it myself."

Next to Master Kaguya's desk. Usually where the auxiliary person sits, I place a bunch of paperwork, gently shake my neck to the left and right, and turn my hands.

While Kaguya is worried about whether to allow it or not, Sophia will read the following documents and summarize them. It's not smooth, but how much more progress would Kaguya make than do it alone. I can do it myself, and there's no problem.

I think a little bit about Anna, who should be sitting in this seat.

At present, the Kingsguard is entrusted with the security of the castle, and Anna is well placed to deal with the rubbing that happens in the castle. Because of the intensification of the dispute between Master Dio and Bade. Because of this, Anna is unbearably removed from Master Kaguya's assistance. They've been like that for a long time, but some days these days they don't look at each other. Honestly, I feel sorry for you.

Anna says it is viable to assist Master Kaguya, or there is a verse that she thinks is her only job. You won't mind if I help you with your work beside Kaguya and teach you everything. If you don't follow closely later, it could erupt.

That's all I think about, and I realize there is. Some of the Kingsguard's tasks include escorting Sofia. Naturally, there is a Sofia escort, but neither of them was seen in front of Master Kaguya's room.

"Sophia. What about the escorts?

"I'm fine with the escort, too, because Master Kaguya said he didn't need an escort for the Kingsguard. I told him."

"Oh yes..."

Do something harsh. Dear Kaguya and Sofia. Both Sazoya and the Kingsguard will be depressed. The problem is that they are strong enough not to need escorts, but even so, it would be shocking to be told that they are not needed for escorts.

Later, we'll follow up with both sides. And from tomorrow, we'll have you on a good escort. For those who take pride in their work and tasks, there is nothing but pain to be taken from them.

I guess I'll have to teach around there.

Though I thought so, I started cleaning up the paperwork in front of me.

■ ■ ■

Just get the job done and make your free time study time. That's what I told Master Kaguya. Originally, Mr. Bade and Mr. Dio only gave him enough work to handle it. So it's not that hard to make time.

"First, let me explain the current situation of the Royal Castle of Velis. In the royal castle of Velis, Dio and Chancellor Farn are fighting for power."

"Why do you two dispute............?

Master Kaguya squeaks so with his face that he doesn't know the bottom of his heart.

Now, how should I explain it? This feud is not a simple power feud. Master Dio doesn't want power. I just want to crush the rebels. Meanwhile, Bade wants to keep immense power in his hands by preventing such a Dio-like attack.

Simply put.

"It must be because we don't like each other."

"Yukito. That explanation is a little………"

Since I ate the waste from Sofia, I shall explain it in a little more detail. As for this royal castle dispute, I don't want to spend much time on it because it's not yet time for Master Kaguya to move.

"There are those in this country who were active in the civil unrest ahead and those who are not. Naturally, those who have been active are favoured, and those who have not are dissatisfied. Dio-like factions consist mainly of those active in civil strife, or those on Dio-like sides, and Prime Minister Farn's side consists of those who do not."

"Civil unrest is pulling its tail?

"Yes, so that those on Dear Dio's side do not later threaten themselves, those on Prime Minister Fahn's side want to be treated better than they are now and are trying to gain power here somehow. You won't mind if I leave these feuds to you."

When I say so, Master Kaguya thinks. How much better a response than not thinking. Maybe I'm thinking about why I don't mind doing it.

"Dear Kaguya, Now, Veris, no, what does Master Kaguya want most?

"Right......... Avoiding war with other countries...?

Kaguya answers Sofia's question.

Sophia nods one at the answer and smiles.

"Yes. So right now, I don't have time for the Royal Castle feud. I think so."

"But if your allies are fighting at your feet, you can't negotiate with other countries, of course.

"You'll be fine there. The heads of both factions are both excellent. There will be a temporary truce if it becomes a danger for Velis. Besides, if we negotiate with another country, we won't be able to afford to have a power struggle between you two. 'Cause there's gonna be more work."

Saying so, I show a piece of paper to Master Kaguya.

It is an overall view of a continent shaped close to a rhombus. The map appears on the screen, but I'm the only one who can see it, so it's a big mess but I wrote the map.

"Is that an overall view of the continent?

"Yeah. It's a lot."

"Surely there must have been a map of the entire continent in the place where you store your books, but do you want me to bring it?

"It's fine. That's enough."

That said, I am pointing to a place on the east side of the continent marked Eytail.

"From here it's diplomacy. First of all, Velis must take this Eitail Empire to his side at all costs. Do you know why?

"Because you have a powerful navy, don't you?

"Yes, the most developed naval forces in the world will probably easily dominate the coastal areas of Velis. And if you get pinched with Albion, Velis will perish."

"Isn't it the same with the Imperius Empire that the Navy is developing?

Sophia speaks the question. Kaguya answers the question in a bit of a good mood.

"If the Empire turns to the enemy, the Empire will be able to defeat it. But on the contrary, Velis will allow the empire to land. So the first priority is to have the Empire on your side. And the Empire, who doesn't want to fight the Empire, also draws to its side. Now Albion will be surrounded by three parties. In the middle of nowhere, get into Velis."

Master Kaguya is hazy because he has finally become a military aspect of his area of expertise. Maybe when I'm playing sports, my head will work, but it has a similar nature to the type of person who can't study school or anything.

When you teach things to people like that, it's best to compare them to your area of expertise.

"Exactly. So how should we draw the Eitail Empire to our side?

"That is……"

Kaguya thinks hard from a good face. Today's expression changes a lot.

Sophia's thinking about it, too, but this is it. They can't think of that.

If you're on Stone Street, send a messenger, deepen your friendship, and so on, but we don't have much time right now.

"The important thing is to preach the benefits of working with Veris. The Aytail Empire is the navy that is powerful, but nothing stands out but the navy. Soldiers are inexperienced, especially since there has been no war in the last decade. Meanwhile, this is the Velis army, which has been dawning in battle since the days of its predecessor. In experience, it is one of the five great nations. One-on-one, you won't take it to any country."

"Is that in the interest of the Eitail Empire?

"A good and experienced soldier or commander is a difficult being. Aitail is aware of the weakening of the military. If possible, you won't want to fight or anything. But things started to change. Even if you cooperate in discussing Velis like this, you will only be the next target. So what should we do? Work with Velis and let him bring the war situation into adhesive condition. And in the meantime, I want to do everything from redevelopment of the military to retraining. And Velis can help with that. By sending people. This is the interest in preaching to the Eitail Empire. So far."

That's all I said, looking at Kaguya and Sofia with a convincing face, in my mind, though I wouldn't be so good. and shrugged.
