31 1 in Parliament (2/2)

What? I'm not sure what to make of this. Well, it doesn't matter who's losing their temper.

You lose your temper like a kid. I don't know who you are, but you're a representative, right? How can you negotiate like that?

! That's enough! Don't you dare be rude or you'll end up...

Adolf! I'm sorry. I'm afraid he's a little short on patience... and you might want to tone down the provocation. Adolf!

He's calmer than I thought. If he's cool at the top, does that mean negotiations aren't going to be easy?

”Okay. So let's get back to negotiations... and what are you looking for?

No need for further negotiations. What can you do? As you say, we have trouble in many ways. I hear you have a few skills. Would you like to join the Order?

”No, thank you! It sounds boring. You!

You! You're inviting me to join the Order of the Glorious...

Mr. Adolph again, I'm gonna have to shut him up a bit.

”Shut up, Adolf! Haven't you learned a thing or two? Or what? Have you not learned a thing or two? Answer me Adolf. Where is the honor and pride you speak of?

Where is your honor and pride?

Adolf was hit with a back fist by the stern old man sitting next to him and passed out.

Adolf was knocked unconscious by the stern man sitting next to him. Continue.

”Who are you?

Hammond, Captain of the Coast Guard. Don't mind me, I'm just here to witness. I'm here to witness.

But I'm getting sidetracked. What were we talking about? I was wondering.

”I guess I'll have to decline the knighthood like Cook said. Then I heard you can improve the carriage. Is that true?

”With the right materials and equipment, yes. I can make it capable of carrying a man. People?

People... well, I heard you're not very good with those wagons. What else?

How about knowledge? We can lower the death toll in the city and make the food situation a little better. We'll also create jobs for the men languishing in the city and improve their productivity and living conditions. In fact, I have some modern knowledge.

Actually, it's not that difficult with some modern knowledge. The question is, how long does it take to get there? The question is, how far do we have to go? It is an improvement that can go on forever if we want it to.

Is that really possible?

”So how long will it take you to release them?

What's the fastest way to get results?

Improving sanitation and reducing the mortality rate. Next would be to improve the wagons. I'm sure we'll have some results soon. I'll have some results soon.

Lancelot grinned at those words.

So, was it hygiene? And as soon as we're done with the carriage improvements, we'll give you the custody of those beasts. As for the rest, you can draw up the instructions. The rest will take time, won't it?

Masaru was immediately speechless at the unexpectedly generous treatment.
