Real intentions

————————————————————————————————————————————-

On the next day, Ferris and Georg were walking with their arms linked on the main boulevard, which was overflowing with people.

“Older brother older brother” (Ferris)

“Hmm?” (Georg)

“It’s fun” (Ferris)

“……Really” (Georg)

In the past, Ferris feared being near a human being, but now with Georg at her side, she could stay happy in a place like this.

Of course, since her face is hidden, I couldn’t grasp her expression, but we have been together for so long now that I can sense the good or bad in the mood without doing such a thing.

“Ferris” (Georg)

“Yes?” (Ferris)

“..What do you want to do in our city?” (Georg)

“That…. such a thing suddenly asked… everyone is laughing, I have never done that.” (Ferris)

“No, I would like to ask you a little more concretely….” (Georg)

“But I have never built a town.” (Ferris)

“No, that’s right…..” (Georg)

“Besides, it’s more fun to decide it with the others.” (Ferris)

“……Is that so much fun?” (Georg)

“Is my older brother not having fun?” (Ferris)

I was asked this and was at a loss for words.

I tried casually asking her, but it caused accidental damage.

Georg is certainly making that town for himself, but it is for himself in the far away future, and for that reason he does not want truncate* to some extent.

Of course, although I rest my mind modestly, I still have a lot of troubles. Let’s make a country, that’s easy to say. However, to run that country, a lot of challenges are in the way.

Land, people, sovereignty. If only these three major elements constitute a country, it will fall apart. Rather, its three major elements are the bare minimum necessary. It’s the starting point from there.

“I wouldn’t say that it isn’t fun. However, I will say that there aren’t only fun things.” (Georg)

That is my real opinion. But that is also unavoidable. Although the ‘human resources’ (TN: I think he means the beast people) are growing up, many things still require Georg himself to step in. Organization of various sectors is also in the early stages, and even if all the residents memorized the characters and calculation, that doesn’t directly add to our national power.

In the long run, if it does not accumulate many of these challenges and experiences, the country will not be enriched and shall not be maintained. As a result, there is no way Georg can be at ease until it is done.

“…..Surely, my older brother is serious. -Building the city alone, attracting people, teaching them, and solving troubles.” (Ferris)

Ferris mutters sadly. Because she has been at Georg’s side the most, she knows his struggle better than anyone. But the Georg she knows has never shown a tired expression or weak tone in front of the residents. Naturally, also never before Ferris.

So she would have regretted her answer if she had known he was speaking casually to her.

“I too….. I will do my best to help my brother… so.” (Ferris)

As she said that, Georg put his hand on Ferris’ head.

“Idiot, you are ten years too early. You have a way of living as a young girl.” (Georg)

Ferris looked up to Georg’s face, which had a dry smile floating on it. There she saw neither an older brother nor Dragunir, only a person of the opposite sex was standing there.

“What, what are you saying… even though our ages don’t differ that much” (Ferris)

Ferris’ face flushed a little as she panicked to hide it by bowing down. It is a thought that should not be understood. At least, that’s what Ferris thought.

“I am someone who lives years like days. There is nothing to say about 100 years, or 200 years for that matter. It’s cheap if I can make people like you happy, in just a fraction of their lives.” (Georg)

That is also the true intention of Georg. It would certainly be cheap, as it is possible to make people happy from one twentieth to one tenth of their lives, five to ten years in terms of human beings, so he could make the lives of tens of thousands of people happy. But Georg did not know that some people do not think this way.

“That…..That’s no good!!” (Ferris)

This was yelled suddenly in a loud voice, taking Georg’s breath away. The surrounding people also gathered to the yelling.

“What…what happened suddenly…..” (Georg)

“My older brother, my older brother may be fine with that. But, I, we, are not.” (Ferris)

“Uhmm…. Ferris, at least at a place….” (Georg)

“We were all saved by older brother, our life, heart, body and entirely everything. Yet, I do not want to be ungrateful, I also want my brother to experience our happiness!” (Ferris)

“………………” (Georg)

Georg, who realized this wasn’t going to stop soon, distorted the surrounding air using wind magic to prevent any sound leaking out to the ears of others.

“My older brother’s life, 100 and 200 years in that, maybe that isn’t so important for my brother, but for us it’s different. No one wants to receive such care without repaying you.” (Ferris)

After saying so, Ferris sharply looked up at Georg and said:

“We were given freedom, and our will, based on that freedom, is to give the same freedom to you.” (Ferris)

It was declared so loudly.

Georg was unconsciously unable to hold back some goosebumps.

<What….isn’t she stronger than I thought, or is this her original temperament?>

I knew that a beastman has an inherently passionate personality, but is this also a result from that? Come to think of it, the two elves that often come to Georg also occasionally look like this.

<It seems to be a lie that is suppressed by Nina and Cale….. No, even the ancient ancestors might have felt threatened by this temperament.>

But for now, such historical considerations do not matter. What is important, is the face of my sister in front of me.

“……….That’s enough, my little sister who I have spoiled too much will soon graduate.” (Georg)

“Yes, in the first place, was it not my brother who taught me that family supports each other? It’s not fair for only me to be supported.” (Ferris)

“….Indeed, that is not fair. It seems to be my defeat this time.” (Georg)

“Right” (Ferris)

“My cute sister is reliable, and tomorrow new residents will be coming in, but before that, I would like to know if you have enjoyed this day to the fullest?” (Georg)

“What?…..Oh.” (Ferris)

She became aware that a lot of time had passed.

“What!! Brother is an idiot! Please say that sooner!” (Ferris)

As she said so, she took him by the arm in a panic and walked out as if she were pulling him away.

< Whew… Still, it is great she is so reliable.>
