Act 5-44: Invitation to the Monster From Another Tribe

「This is my proposal for the development of Ket Nya.」

I did my best to come up with this plan for the last few days,even cutting on my sleep,

「…」

Everyone ended up just looking at it in silence with their mouths open.

「Uhm, is there something wrong with this plan I made?」

I tried to ask everyone present in a hesitant voice, however,

「Well how should I say it, rather than bad, it’s more like… You know?」

Even when I asked for the opinion of Chato, who sat beside Tama, with the same face,

「Yeah…」

He nodded in agreement with all others present.

Chigi crossed his arms while looking at me, this staring contest lasted for a while,

「Maybe everyone’s question is something along the line of 『Can we even do this?』」

Chigi then took the initiative to decipher the meeting members’ reaction to me.

「It might be possible with my power.」

The last few days testing this newfound power was enough for me to come with this “impossible”  plan.

「We can’t always rely on the barrier constructed by Sharm. That’s why I established a few places for the construction of enchanted weapons. Moreover, raising the quality of life will automatically raise the productivity of the village itself. That’s why if possible…」

Chigi started making a rough draft while mumbling over something.

「Anyhow, let’s start with the place that we understand immediately. There also a few policies that I need to discuss after that.」

「About the proposal to create alliance with the other tribes, including some combat tribs, huh…」

Everyone in the room made a really anxious face hearing the remark from the old, cat-headed woman.

「I’m against this plan! Think about it, just how much of our brethren became victim of those guys’ atrocities in the past?」

The cat headed youth with a bob cut denied the idea on the spot.

「But at this rate, nothing can stop the Aldebaran army from marching to the south. All the peaceful monster tribes in the North Grand have already become their victims. This it an undeniable fact.」

The old woman with a cat face could only shake her head with a sad face as she uttered those words.

「But still, it doesn’t mean that we’ve to work together with those savage ogres or pigs!」

Tama slammed her dominant hand on the table but,

「Yeah. If it’s just simple alliance, then there’s no need to recruit those battle junkies.」

Something was amiss. I could actually declare so with certainty even though I had no memories or knowledge about those battle junkies beforehand. I mean, I knew exactly that we absolutely couldn’t make an alliance with those guys.

Those kinds of people were normally nothing but bunches of muscle brains whose status was based solely on their strength. Definitely not the kind of folks who are willing to hear the opinion of those weaker than them.

「Oi, are you going to wage a war against them?」

「It’s not a war since I’ve no intention to kill them. In exchange, I’ll beat them real thorough.」

I’ll force them to help us after I beat the crap out of them. That was the only way to have a proper, equal conversation with them.

「Though saying it is easier than done, you do realize that the other party is the strongest, or second strongest combat tribe in the North Grand, right?」

「I don’t care. Seeing that the northern part of the North Grand is occupied by the demon race, it means that the power of the demon called Aldebaran is even more than that. If things keep going in this direction, those two tribes would be the first ones to become Aldebaran’s target.」

「Sorry but, I’m not asking whether you can defeat them or not. The problem is whether you can convince them! Those battle junkies don’t listen to words!」

""

Seeing Chato pointing out the most obvious problem in this plan,

「It’s not matter if it’s possible or not. The situation has already escalated to the point that we have no choice but to do take action.」

I told them so with a reassuring voice.

The mastermind, who was specifically targeting and observing this Ket Nya was obviously a malicious being.

The previous case made me realize some more hard facts. The mastermind clearly had no intention to help us, or destroy us, they acted more like mere observers.

Maybe they just want to observe if we could clear the trial imposed on us or not. If we succeed, we are naturally going to advance to the next stage. That will continue till we finally get defeated, I get this feeling that it was some kind of game.

In this situation, we would almost certainly be defeated in the next stage.I mean, we were by no means strong, and our defeat means only one thing, death. With those kinds of possibilities in the back my mind, I proposed this plan.

「That again huh. But Gil might be right.」

Chato heaved a sigh as he shrugged his shoulders,

「Chigi-san, I agree with Gil’s plan!」

And agreed obediently.

「There’s no other way. You might even say that the current situation forced us to choose this option. Everyone should’ve realized what gonna happen if we chose to do nothing at all, right?」

Tama also nodded as she asked for everyone’s agreement. The members had no choice but to nod with a vexed look on their faces.The facts were irrefutable and they would surely die in the near future if nothing is done.

「We… Might have no choice but to do this. Otherwise this villa— No, the entire North Grand will become hell on earth.」

Just as Chigi had said, Ket Nya had no choice but to participate in whatever the mastermind had prepared.
