Chapter 15 – The Responsibility of a Secretary

On a certain day, I was called by Lyle-sensei to have an earnest talk with him

Despite this place beingSensei’s private roo a bit

There were books lined up in a row on shelves, and his desk was crammed with piles of documents It was a bit hard forthe 2 of us would end up sitting on his bed

Still

What’s the reason behind Sensei giving out a nice sirls?

Despite his brown, short hair and his body covered in official clothes, as one would expect, he looked nothing different froirl with a ripened, beautiful profile

“What’s it, Sensei? It’s rare for you to call me for a talk”

Usually, it would be me to hold a conversation, however, this was truly rare

Haa, could it be that it’s finally come to ‘that’?!

Was he finally going to reveal the secret behind his gender?!

“Yes, it’s not so I can do on my own, so I need to discuss it with you”

“Yes!”

Could it be, that I raised Lyle-sensei’s flag, before I could’ve even noticed?

Fine Be it a cross-dressing irl, I love both of them!

I’ at the point of bursting!

“Won’t you consider uns and cannons to the country? If that’s fine with you, I will use my experience as a secretary and draw up a plan of sale and distribution”

“Eh, that’s…”

What’s that? So he isn’t going to confess his gender?

“Being an arms dealer is profitable, you know?”

“Yes”

I also thought about trading weapons, since I wanted money…

However, I also thought it could end up as a bad idea

“I do understand your concern well, Takeru-dono You’re afraid that the weapons would be used in battles between huht?”

“True, there’s such a possibility as well”

As expected of Lyle-sensei

It looks like he was able to see through all hts

“However, there’s a ‘but’ Thegreat troubles to the kingdom Only in the royal capital, the area nearby, and the main road are barely able to keep thees and cities on the east side are sustaining devastating attacks fro between each other”

“That’s…”

“Well, please let ic, can use guns and cannons for self-defense, things like having hard ti with the monsters won’t happen”

“I do understand your point, Sensei”

“No you don’t, Takeru-dono It’s thanks to the large influx of refugees to the royal capital, that there are thisrandomly sent to the mines”

I see So the situation looked like this?

I didn’t give it that ht

“Takeru-dono, you’re also gentle toward slaves, right? You even rescued the villagers in Ona, who had lost their basic livelihood, gave themfro helped”

“Well, it wasn’t that much, but…”

In the end, I used the slaves and villagers for ains

I wasn’t trying to do any good deeds, so it felt e to be praised

“However, things like these are originally what a country is supposed to do Even if I wasn’t the one to suggest the about the rue I think they would buy the neeapons and do nothing but utilize them”

I see, Sensei had thought about that as well

That’s why he was so passionate aboutthe arms and researched how to use them

I don’t know if there’s any difference, but, we have also tested lots ofa bronze-made cannon, instead of just the standard iron-made one

‘Why ae?’ – I suspiciously thought so

“Still, even if this country purchases our arms, you said there’s been never a case where they would exploit theht?”

“True That’s why, I’d like for them to accept our proposal”

‘I ireatly indebted, bowed his head towardto that

Sensei continued to solicit me, as hesitant

“The nu the root of that, displaced people, still exists I can’t guarantee that the weapons won’t be used between fellow hudom to overcome this crisis…?”

“Ah yes, I understand Please do as you deeht, Sensei”

“Thank you, Takeru-dono You have ratitude”

Sensei’s gorgeous and soft palm of his hand piled up on mine

We were about to grant a country, where bows and swords were still coe cannons

Perhaps, it was truly a bad decision

Still, if it wasn’t for Sensei’s help, I’d have died long ago

I too, grabbed Sensei’s warm hand in return

It was actually me who should be eternally indebted to him

Even I, who possessed the knowledge of modern warfare history, couldn’t tell, at all, what effect the weapons brought into this world of vast plains would have, despite people here being attacked byfrom that miasmatic mana hole

It may be that the arms won’t be utilized just for one’s self-defense, as they hly efficient, so there’s also a fear they will induce wars, which can’t be undone

It was a problem I couldn’t solve, even if I pondered on it However, it couldn’t be helped that I worry about the future, could it?

As for me, I could only choose the path that the people around me continued to walk
