This is just temporary cover chapter until
Larvyde return, okay?
Also, should I call Human Race as Hume just
like FFXII?

with refugee situation. (Sensitive matter for sensitive people)
I left the dispute clean-up to
Juno and her group. In order to accomplish our original objective of meeting
with the leader of this refugee community, we traveled further into the settlement.
Then, after we followed the young man guiding us, he finally lead us to a
remarkably large tent similar to a Mongolian yurt.
We entered the tent and saw a
large Human male inside, sitting down cross-legged with both of his hands propped
against the floor as he bowed his head down. It was a pose that could e often
seen in Jidaigeki,[1] and
was how a retainer would behave towards his lord.[2]
The large man looked to about 30 years old, but if I was to describe his
appearance, then he gave off a similar impression to that of a Native American.[3]
His large burly figure was lightly dressed, which was common to the people who
came from the warmer northern region and his face was painted with what looked
likes symbols or charms.
Behind him, there was a girl who wore
a similar attire to him and was sitting in a similar pose, too. Her age was not
that much different from Liscia or Roroa. She was not that sophisticated, but she
was a girl that gave off a simple cute feeling. Both of them had similar features
on their faces, so perhaps they were siblings.
「Thank
you for visiting us, Your Majesty, the Great King of this Country.」(Man)
「Yes……
Can you stop with that Great King? I’m not really fond of that phrase.」(Souma)
I sat down in front of the man. There
was no chair, so I sat directly on the carpet that was spread over the floor. As
a Japanese, this was something that I was familiar with. Judging from the
sensation, the carpet was affixed to a board. So it seems that the carpet wasn’t
directly spread over the bare ground. Liscia sat down next to me. Owen, Hilda,
and Carla, who had returned back from the Castle, sat down behind us.
「Fumu…… Then,
how should I refer to you?」(Man)
「You may
simply call me King or Your Majesty.」(Souma)
「Then
I shall do so. My name is Jirukoma[4].
I have been entrusted with the leader position by this refugee community. For
helping the people of this community at the incident that happened not long ago,
let me express my gratitude from the bottom of my heart.」(Jirukoma)
Jirukoma made a very deep bow as
he said these words.
「I am
the one who is acting as the king of this country, Souma Kazuya. Then, the ones
who rescued them are the adventurers that had been dispatched as guards Please
direct your gratitude towards them.」(Souma)
「I
can’t do that. The deployment of the adventurers itself is due to the support
from the King. We are also thankful for the continuous support of goods.」(Jirukoma)
「Then
I will accept that gratitude…… However, I didn’t come to this place today to
hear words of gratitude.」(Souma)
「………」(Jirukoma)
Jirukoma’s expression tensed when
he heard my words. The significance of my visit should be obvious to Jirukoma. After
all, this discussion about “that case” had been repeated numerous times by the envoys
that I had dispatched.
「I came
to demand your decision. You have heard the “recommendations” from the envoys,
correct? Then, which one will you people choose?」(Souma)
「!
That is-」(Komayin)
「However,
brother!」(Komayin)
The girl tried to stand up, but Jirukoma’s
hand held her back. So this girl’s name is Komayin. Just like I had thought,
they were siblings. Jirukoma sharply rebuked Komayin.
「Our
words will decide the fate of all the people of this community. Do not be
imprudent.」(Jirukoma)
「…… I
understand.」(Komayin)
Komayin who had stood up half-way,
sat back down. For a moment, the two bodyguards behind me were also on alert,
but since Komayin had calmed down, they too backed down. The air inside the
room became heavy. Perhaps becaise she was concerned about the situation, Liscia
raised a question.
「Souma,
can you explain the situation please……」(Liscia)
「……
Fine. I want to resolve this refugee problem. If the status quo continues, then
it would not end well, both for our country and for the people who live in this
place. That’s why I compelled a certain decision for the refugees.」(Souma)
「Decision?」(Liscia)
I nodded.
「Either
discard their homesickness and become this country’s citizens, otherwise, leave
this country.」(Souma)
◇ ◇ ◇
The refugees that were chased out
from their homelands when the Demon Lord Realm appeared. Their genuine wish was
to repatriate back to their homeland and return back to their old lives. However,
at the current state, that prospect can’t be fulfilled. The last large scale
invasion towards the Demon Lord Realm ended in failure and only left fear in
the hearts of the people. Even the largest major power of the Humanity Side, the
Grand Chaos Empire, hesitated to send out another invasion. Right now, it only
focused on preventing the Demon Lord Realm from expanding any further towards
the south. This was the current situation.
Perhaps, even if we assume that the
current conditions will improve in the future, it won’t happen tomorrow or the
day after tomorrow. It will also be impossible to achieve in just several months.
Achieving it in several years is also too difficult. It might take dozens of
years, or perhaps we will need to be resigned t the reality that it may take
hundreds of years to accomplish. Then, during that time, what will the refugees
do? If they only wish to return to their homelands, then would they keep
staying in foreign countries as a stateless people?
…… This is impossible. This distorted
situation w ould surely become a source of
problems in the future.
「The
former King Albert took an attitude towards tolerating their stay. I too, in
order to deal with the mountain of other problems, had accepted that position
until today. Even if it was only in small quantities, I had provide aid and
suport.」(Souma)
「………」(Jirukoma)
「However,
now that the other problems have been resolved, I could no longer ignore tackling
this problem. Even for us, we can’t continue to provide aid indefinitely and we
are also troubled with the refugees staying here illegally. We have tolerated
it up until now, but hunting and gathering without permission were originally
illegal activities. If I permit these illegal activities then it will surely provoke
the anger of our citizens.」(Souma)
The reason for this was they were
not citizens of this country. Up until now, they received an air of sympathy since
they had lost their homelands because of the appearance of the Demon Lord Realm.
However, air is still air. When it will eventually drift away, no one knows. Their
wish of repatriation won’t come true. If we continue to support these
non-citizens and tolerate their illegal activities, then voices of
dissatisfaction would arise amongst the citizens in the future. In the worst
case, it might turn into a violent conflict.
「That’s
why I compelled the people living in this place to make a decision. Give up on
returning back to their homelands and live in this country as citizens, or don’t
give up on returning back and leave this country for another country. I came for
them to decide this.」(Souma)
「Souma,
that is……」(Liscia)
「This
might be heartless. However, this is necessary. In the end, a country is like a
very huge person. She will easily love someone who loves her, but to love
someone who doesn’t love her? Her heart isn’t that generous.」(Souma)
That’s why, while the air of
sympathy still exists right now, I want to promote the integration. This
country is a country of many races. Compared to a nation that is dominated by a
single race, there is a pre-existing basis to receive them. ――― However, that
depends on whether or not the refugees accept on becoming citizens of this multi
racial country. I had spoken about this earlier when pointing the flaw in the Humanity
Declaration, a feeling of nationalism that is too strong will become the source
of rebellion.
「If
perhaps, your people, are determined to return to your homeland no matter what
and don’t have any sense of belonging to this country, then I…… will have no
choice but to deport your people.」(Souma)
When he heard my words, Jirukoma clenched
his teeth.
「……
We just…… want to return to our homeland.」(Jirukoma)
「I
understand that feeling. I don’t mind if each person simply holds that feeling
inside their heart. If the situation improves, then when the situation for the
repatriation arrives, we won’t mind if you return back to your homeland……
However, at least while you are in this country, I want you to identify
yourselves as citizens of this country. If you can’t then… this country is not
a place for you to stay.」(Souma)
「………」(Jirukoma)
Jirukoma was at a loss for words.
In exchange, Komayin stood up.
「You
don’t understand anything……」(Komayin)
「Stop
it, Komayin!」(Jirukoma)
「No brother, let me say it! You are this country’s king, right? You have
this country as yours, right? The sadness of people who have parted with their country,
what do you-」(Komayin)
「I
understand it all.」(Souma)
Komayin shouted out in
exasperation, but I looked straightforwardly into her eyes and spoke up.
「You
should have heard about this. I am a person that was summoned from a world
different from this one. Furthermore, it is a perfect one-way ticket, you see. I’m
different from you guys who can still have hope, even if it is just a little. There
is no way for me to return. That’s why I understand the sadness of parting with
your homeland.」(Souma)
「Gugh……」(Komayin)
「Homesickness……
sure is hard to get rid of. In my world, there is a saying 『Home
is where you reminisce when you are far away.』[6] What an
accurate saying, but it was only after I lost it that I noticed how precious home
was to me. It’s easy to say that this is how things go, but it’s not that easy
to be satisfied with it.」(Souma)
「Souma.」(Liscia)
When I spoke out the grief inside
my heart, Liscia softly linked her hand with mine.
「However……
I have Liscia and the others. There are people that are supporting me on my
side. There are people who care about me. I responded to their feelings and worked
feverishly. Thus, before I was aware of it, I had started to think of this
country as my own. If I parted with this country, then perhaps I would have the
same sadness like I felt when parted with my homeland, at least that’s what I
believe.」(Souma)
In the end, homeland is “a connection”.
A connection with a location and the people who live in it. The only thing that
could replace it, is another “connection”. Komayin feebly sat herself down and hung
her head down. She might not accept this immediately. However, stubbornly
refusing to move means not being able to move forward.
「That’s
why I wanted to give you what Liscia and others had given to me. If you can love
this country and become its members, then this country will receive you.」(Souma)
「To
be specific…… In what way will she receive us?」(Jirukoma)
Jirukoma’s eyes became more
intense than ever. It was as if he was ascertaining my true intentions.
「I am
aware that it is extremely rude to ask about this, even when you have told us
that “she will receive us”. However, we had seen and heard the cruel reality
before we reached this land, exactly what “receiving the refugees” means. A
country that exploits us in harsh workplaces like the mines as cheap labor. A
country that forces us to the frontlines as anti-Demon Lord Realm soldiers. We
had received this kind of treatment repeatedly.」(Jirukoma)
「Yes,
typical… but I can only see those as idiotic measures.」(Souma)
「Idiotic?」(Jirukoma)
「Ah,
yes. First, it’s idiotic to send refugee to the frontline. National defense is the
core of a country. If they make the foreigners bear this role, then eventually the
country will surely face a grave national crisis.」
There were many precedents even in
Earth’s history. For example, the Western Roman Empire. To counter the invading
Völkerwanderung Germanic people, they invited Germanic people to peacefully
migrate as Germanic mercenaries, which become the main force of the army. As a result,
it caused the Germanisation of the army and the chief of the Germanic
mercenaries, Odoacer, to overthrow the country. Then, in China, during the Tang
dynasty era, An Lu Shan, of mixed Sogdian and Göktürk ancestry, was granted
supreme authority. Because of this, he instigated a rebellion, which shortened the
dynasty’s life.
「Furthermore
treating the refugees like slaves was also an idiotic measure. This would only stir
animosity from the refugees. What would they do if the resentful refugees plot
a rebellion or terrorist acts? Weren’t they only growing seeds of calamity towards
their own country?」(Souma)
「Then……
How about the policy of the Grand Chaos Empire?」(Jirukoma)
Jirukoma immediately looked
straight at my eyes while asking. So I scratched my head.
「……
It’s a policy that’s so Maria-dono-ish.」(Souma)
A considerable number of refugees
also entered the Empire. The policy that the Empire adopted was to offer the undeveloped
plot of land to the refugees, the area that the refugees developed would then be
recognized as their special temporary residences. In other words, building a refugee
village, and then letting the refugees manage it for themselves. If they were
able to be self-sufficient, then it wouldn’t hurt the Empire’s pockets and if
the refugees repatriated back to the north in the future, then they would leave
a now developed piece of land behind. There wouldn’t be any losses for the
Empire either way.
……Well, something like that, was what
Maria-dono might have said to persuade her people. As expected from someone called
the Holy Maiden, she is a kind-hearted woman. In her heart, perhaps she felt true
compassion towards the refugees. To make them achieve self-sufficiency without
severing their affection towards their homeland, they were able to stay in the
Empire. Perhaps if they didn’t return back to their homeland, not only they
would possess land inside the Empire but they would also naturallybe able to
integrate themselves as citizens of the Empire. Or so was what she might have had
in mind.
What I was doing right now was
the exact opposite, forcing the refugees to abandon their affection for their
homeland and integrating them as citizens against their will. However,
「I am
sorry, but…… the Kingdom couldn’t perform the same policy.」(Souma)
「Why?」(Jirukoma)
「It’s
dangerous.」(Souma)
To make the refugees develop the undeveloped
land and achieve self-sufficiency, certainly this wouldn’t hurt the Empire’s
pockets. As long as the Empire’s power didn’t wane, then the refugees would
abide the Empire and also feel a debt of gratitude. If this condition continued
for hundreds of years then they also could be expected to smoothly integrate into
citizens of the Empire…… However, we can never predict the tide and ebb of future
events. The power we have today, might be lost tomorrow, such is the world of
men. Perhaps, if the Empire’s power weakened, then what will the refugee will
do?
「Since
it is land that they had developed with their own sweat and blood, then wouldn’t
they consider that land as their own? If it’s still the generation that wished
to return to their homeland, then there will be no problems. Rather than the
land that they had developed, their emotional attachment to their homeland is
still stronger. However, what about the next generation? Will the ones who are
born in that land, a generation that never lived in their ancestor’s homeland,
accept the reality that the land that their ancestors had developed with their
own sweat and blood as just something that the Empire had rented to them? Wouldn’t
they instead believe that that land is their own?」(Souma)
In Earth’s history terms, there
was an example in the Serbians’ case. When the Ottoman Empire conquered the
Serbian Kingdom, a large number of Serbian people escaped to the Habsburg
Empire (Dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary).[7]
The Habsburg Empire positively received the Serbians and made them develop the
frontier land near the Ottoman Empire, which turned them into Grenzers or
frontiersmen militia (part farmer, part soldier) that guarded the cordon sanitaire.[8]
The Serbians continued to develop the frontier while battling the Ottoman
Empire. This harsh environment gave birth to a strong consciousness of autonomy
amongst the Serbians, which became a fertile ground for the growth of
nationalism.
Finally the rise of the ideology
of Serbian nationalism,「Great Serbia」, which brought about the Sarajevo Incident, the
trigger of the First World War, and as a result, leads to the dismantlement of the
Habsburg Empire. Furthermore, because of the Serbian nationalist policy that
emphasized the Serbians primacy, it ignited the nationalism of other ethnic
groups, such as Croatian nationalism. Thus, the gruesome atrocity-filled
conflict (the Yugoslav Civil Wars) happened.
The refugees might be composed of
a mixture of races, but through joys and sorrows, a spirit of brotherhood was
born. This spirit was how the refugees distinguished themselves from the
others, something that was similar to nationalism. The Grand Chaos Empire had
brought the coal that could trigger a huge fire into their own abode. Jirukoma frowned.
「Does
Your Majesty think that the Empire’s policy was a mistake?」(Jirukoma)
「No……
I don’t mean it that way. It’s a different way of thinking. It’s only that Maria-dono
chose that policy by believing in the best outcome, and I didn’t choose that
policy out of fear of the worst outcome. Just that.」
I remembered when I assessed the Humanity
Declaration, the Empire tends to choose an option with hidden high risks to get
a high return. Compared to our Kingdom, rather than the return, we chose a
policy that put importance in controlling the risk. Either choice was not
superior to the other. This was something that could only be known in the
future, whether or not either of these choices were suitable for the era.
「Then
Your Majesty, then how will you treat us? Giving up on returning to our
homeland and becoming the citizen of this country, or leaving the country, not letting
us cultivate land, but also don’t not turning us into slaves or soldiers……
Then, what in the world are you telling us to do?!」
Jirukoma raised his voice for the
first time. Even Komayin was trembled by his menacing attitude. For a few
moments, I exchanged a look with Jirukoma. And then,
「……Owen.」(Souma)
「Yes
Your Majesty.」(Owen)
「The
you-know-what.」(Souma)
「As
your wish.」(Owen)
I ordered Owen to fetch me a long
cylinder. It was twice the diameter and five times longer than that of cylinders
used for graduation certificates. Inside the cylinder, there was a large roll
of paper. I then unfolded that paper in front of everyone’s eyes. Jirukoma and
the others opened their eyes wide when they saw what depicted on the paper.
「This
is…… A city?」(Jirukoma)
What I had shown was the
blueprint for the new city 『Venetinova』 that I had established as the cornerstone of transportation
and commerce to accelerate the distribution of goods.
「When
I came to this country, I commenced the construction of this new city at the
same time as the development of transportation network. Recently it had reached
a state where it is suitable for habitation. Although, I must say that the
residential district and the commercial district are still being constructed
and only the trade harbor had been finished. In the future, I plan to increase the
number of various facilities and develop it into a city that become the
forefront of culture. Then, before long, I will taking applications for its
residents……」(Souma)
I explained while looking at
Jirukoma and Komayin’s face.
「So
you plan to take us, the refugees, as that city’s residents.」(Jirukoma)
「‼」(Komayin)
Jirukoma and Komayin gulped down
when they heard my statement.
「If
you give up on returning to your homeland and become this country’s citizens,
then I will give you your residence. There will be a lot of jobs. You may
become day laborers or even shop employees. I will also continue the aid
delivery for a while, just like I did for the Faewolf Tribe who opened the
brewery inside Parnam. When you become citizens of this country, as long as you
work honestly, then you will not feel the hunger or the cold. An arrangement to
provide such a situation, lies in this place.」(Souma)
「This
is……」(Jirukoma)
The expressions of Jirukoma and Komayin
were shaken…… Even for myself, I was wondering how Jirukoma and his people
looked at me right now. A savior that extended a helping hand in times of
tribulation…… or, a devil that tricked with the sophistry of sweet words. Then
Jirukoma and Komayin spoke almost at the same time.
「Could
something this wonderful exist!?」「How could there be a thing this horrible!」
Jirukoma and Komayin looked at
each other. Although their words overlapped, the pair was surprised to see that
the other had a completely different evaluation of my plan.
「What
are you talking about brother! This is completely a 『giving
a treat to make the dog wag its tail』!」(Komayin)
「Komayin,
His Majesty could be said as granting a footing for our livelihood. There is no
need for us to toil the land like in the Grand Chaos Empire.」(Jirukoma)
「That’s
why, you want to give up on returning to our homeland!? Does brother not feel any regret!?」(Komayin)
「All
we have to do is cast away that regret and we will able to live without fear of
hunger and cold weather. This is what His Majesty had told us.」(Jirukoma)
So the assessment of the siblings
was divided into two…… Well, such things can happen.
「It’s
understandable that your opinion differs. I personally think that this proposal
is quite wonderful on one side but also quite cruel on the other side. Even
when seeing the same object, it is not necessarily the case for people to have
the same impressions. Whether or not they feel that this is a hospitality or a
misfortune, depends on their viewpoint.」(Souma)
「「………」」(Jirukoma)(Komayin)
I sighed and then placed my hand
on top of the map.
「This
is the best that I can do right now. I don’t expect you to take this hand that
I held out right away. The future ahead is something that depends on your
decision.」(Souma)
When I made this remark, Jirukoma
groaned bitterly.
「……Among
this community, there are people that are persistently fixated on returning to
their homeland.」(Jirukoma)
「Are
they…… like the imouto-san?」(Souma)
「That’s
not true! Komayin is, her mind is soft! Just now, she is just thinking about
the people who live on the settlement, the ones who can’t give up their
affection for their homeland, and speaks on their behalf!」(Jirukoma)
「B-brother!」(Komayin)
「And
I thought that she really meant it. Just now when she mentioned that ‘it’s
horrible’, I see that you said that just out of consideration for those people’s
feelings. You…… really understand the people’s grief.」(Souma)[10]
「Kugh……」(Komayin)
Komayin fell into silence. Did I hit
the nail on the head? Then, Jirukoma corrected
his seating posture and bowed very deeply towards me.
「We
are greatly indebted towards Your Majesty’s “kindheartedness”. This is something
that I couldn’t decide with my own discretion, so I want to discuss it first after
gathering the people of this community.」(Jirukoma)
「…… Even
after I had said that I came to demand for a decision?」(Souma)
「I
understand. However, so that the hand that Your Majesty holds out to us is able
to reach as many people as possible, I want to persuade them. Even if…… The
refugees become divided.」(Jirukoma)
「……」(Souma)
The refugees become divided. In
other words, expelling the ones who won’t accept……, right……. So, it had reached
this point. Even if I hurry, the results won’t change. However,
「There
is not much time left. Even if we could delay the citizens’ applications, we
couldn’t delay the “season”.」(Souma)
Winter will soon come. If they
didn’t prepare for it, there might be people who will freeze to death. The
people with the weakest resistance, the children and the elderly, will be the first
ones to die. If it is possible, I want the refugees’ transfers completed before
the winter arrive. Hence, I wish for their decision to take this hand. Jirukoma
once again bowed very deeply.
「Yes,
Your Majesty! I am well aware of it.」(Jirukoma)
「……
That’s good to hear.」(Souma)
The future already depends on
themselves. The kind of decision that they will take, I will also respond to it
in a suitable manner. If possible, I want to stay as a “gentle king”……
Today’s negotiation had reached
its end, then…
「I
hear that Hilde is in this place.」(Guy)
A man clad in a white robe,
rudely entered the tent. His age was somewhere in the mid twenties. A human
male with a sharp look in his eyes. A peculiar characteristic about him would
be his hair. Even though, he was still young, it was pure white. The man who
entered without even giving a single greeting made Carla and Owen reach for the
hilts of their blades, but the man didn’t feel even a tinge of fear and roughly
walked towards Hilde. Hilde stood up and then glared at him.
「Brad!
You! How dare you push the lectures onto me!」(Hilde)
This white haired man’s name was
Brad Joker. Just like Hilde, he was a person who propped up the medical reforms
in this country, the other “Physician”. Brad wasn’t concerned about Hilde’s complaint
and suddenly grabbed her arm.
「W-what
are you doing!?」(Hilde)
「I
will hear your complaints later. Sorry, but help me out here.」(Brad)
「……
Did something happen?」(Hilde)
Guessing that something had
happened, Hilde face turned serious and calmly asked Brad.
「It’s
an emergency.」(Brad)

Also Yukkuri is too lazy to make new footnote for Odoacer and An Lushan Rebellion, try to read it.
[5] コマイン Komain “ko-ma-in”. Adding “y” in
front of “in”, so the Westerners wouldn’t pronounce it as “Komein”
[6] A famous
poem from Murou Saisei (室生 犀星, 1 August 1889 - 26 March 1962)

ReplyDeleteThanks for filling this up!
Yeah refugee debate is a little bit sensitive since most of EU just use feelings in handling the crisis instead of using logic.
