Politics class

As Klein said, Neph, in a sense, really does have a lot of free time.

--Her Potion had been fully digested, and she had no other daily tasks to perform. Her next advancement would depend on the completion of the fusion between the "True Creator" and Adam.

To be precise, it's not that the fusion is complete... I suspect they have already merged, but they're keeping it a secret... For example, they might still be adjusting their state, waiting to launch a surprise attack on the other three...

Neph shook her head and stepped into the "Loen Charity Education Fund" located at 22 Pefels Street, North Borough Backlund.

Klein, now a wanderer, entrusted her with keeping an eye on his brother and sister; he had already sent letters inquiring about their situation.

According to Klein, his sister Melissa was volunteering there. Neph walked in as if no one else was there, but instead of looking for Melissa, she went Board Office.

"Justice" Audrey sat upright in her office. Neph initially thought she was working on documents, but after staring at Audrey blankly for several minutes, she realized something was amiss. She pulled up a chair, sat down, looked at the bewildered girl, and called out:

"Hi?"

Audrey looked startled, sitting bolt upright. She then realized with horror that someone was beside her, their body covered in fine dragon scales. As Neph's hands itched to touch the scales, Audrey finally recognized the newcomer, and the scales vanished.

"Miss ' Pure White '?" she asked, visibly surprised. "What brings you here?"

If I were to ask for a single dragon scale... no, "The Visionary" is Mind Dragon, and even after fusion, there's no guarantee of getting a scale... Of course, most importantly, that would be too offensive, but could I try asking Herabergen for one...?

Neph gathered her jumbled thoughts and smiled, saying:

"I received a request from Mr. 'World,' and since I was passing by and remembered you were here, I decided to come in and take a look."

"I see..." Audrey gradually relaxed. "Your entrance was truly unexpected..."

"So, can you tell me what's making you space out?" Neph stroked her chin. "I looked at the files on your desktop, but there's nothing unusual..."

"... I don't know," Audrey closed her eyes briefly, "I've been thinking about this for a long time... there's a question I just can't figure out..."

She paused, turned to Neph, and after a moment's thought, asked, "'Miss Pure White,' what are your thoughts on the war between Loen and Feysac?"

Neph paused for a moment, glanced thoughtfully at Audrey, and then suddenly smiled:

"Um... even though you might not understand, I still have to say it..."

"Actually, this part of the story shouldn't be mine—although your opening remarks don't really correspond, and it's quite different from the scene I saw..."

Audrey, as expected, didn't understand. She asked, puzzled, "What?"

Neph didn't answer the question, but simply smiled and said:

"War..."

"This is the first war I've personally experienced since I was born. Of course, there have been countless wars in history, and historians have scrutinized them repeatedly. If you really want my opinion, I could find answers to quote, but I guess that's not what you want to hear."

"You may have heard some rumors and made some guesses—the war between Loen and Feysac was a byproduct of the War of the Gods, and that War of the Gods itself was a destined struggle that was bound to happen sooner or later."

"Yes," Audrey nodded, "I learned some things at the Tarot Club... but I still don't understand."

She pursed her lips, stared intently at Neph, and asked, "... Why must the trend of the times always be War of the Gods?"

"... You seem to have misunderstood something," Neph chuckled. "I said this battle was destined to happen not because it's the trend of the times, but because... you know the ' Evernight ' Pathway and the ' God of Combat ' Pathway are Adjacent Pathways, right?"

Audrey nodded.

"... you've already made your choice, and so have your friends and enemies," Funès continued, "And this is similar to the words in this extraordinary world."

>p/<. Lideau frowned. "Why?"

>p/<". The rule of the initial creation of the main body is written below, and it must be the God of Combat - collision and friction will inevitably occur, the path between the spirits of the neighboring gods, when the end of the day is approaching... the birth of the highest and most important is also urged, the law of aggregation is special and non-existent, the number of high positions is limited", Funa replied, "because the law of aggregation is special and non-existent"

>p/<: She spoke softly, and after nearly half an hour, she fell silent.

>p/<. I was extremely worried about him, especially since I was on the front lines with my brother, watching for related news every day... I was very worried about him from the very beginning of this battle.

>p/<. I was hoping for victory, but later news came that many soldiers had not returned, and many more had been wounded. Prices soared afterward, especially as the war was nearing its end. I hoped to gain victory and achieve a swift victory, and I hoped the war would end soon.

>p/<. The event suddenly made me realize that we had won, but... but..."

>p/<. The peace and the soldiers of the people have been exchanged for the lives of the soldiers of the Ksafer, and the wounds of the people will not be forgotten. If we win, then--"

"... Why should we fight a war? That's why I wanted to start."

>p/<. Thinking of all the colors, she looked at the eyes and squinted.

>p/<: I was a little uneasy, but I couldn't bear to leave her. I was afraid that she might hurt me. On the contrary, I was too focused on her.

>p/<"? Why are you staring at me like that? What are you thinking about?... Little ' Pure White ' sister"

"... The effect might not be what I wanted, if you tell me something like that, at this time, I just want to..." Funa blinked. "... Hmm."

>p/<... Thinking about the core reality, your parents have made a decision to leave, and you've awakened to the fact that you've been given the label of "goodness," which has ultimately been assigned to you as a symbolic character.

Relying on her, Lydia was confused by the light in her eyes.

He spoke leisurely from the back of the chair:

"I wanted to read you a poem, but translating it into a language you can understand seems a bit difficult... Ah, let me be lazy and just translate the last line."

She straightened herself up, a rare serious expression on her face.

"Whether a nation prospers or declines, ordinary people are always struggling in misery."

--This isn't really a proper translation.

Expressing the phrase "When a dynasty prospers, the people suffer; when a dynasty falls, the people suffer" in a straightforward way was too much of a brain drain, so Neph simply used a paraphrase, conveying only the gist—after all, she had no interest in teaching Audrey what a melody or a tune name was, much less discussing rhythm and meter here...

She only intended to use this to convey her meaning to Audrey, and clearly, this gesture was sufficient. Audrey pondered the words, lowered her head, and after a moment, looked up in confusion, asking:

"I understand that when a nation declines, ordinary people will certainly suffer, but why is it that even when a nation prospers..."

She seemed genuinely confused by the question, Neph asked curiously, "Do you really think the people of East Borough Backlund were happy before this?"

Audrey asked hesitantly, "That's because our country isn't strong enough...?"

Neph understood. She wasn't blind to it; she simply wasn't aware of it. Therefore, Neph thought for a moment before speaking:

"Hmm... okay, then let's just talk about Loen."

"I'm not entirely sure where the Church stands in this, after all, the Church here is fundamentally different from the Church I'm familiar with. Let's just assume for now that 'what is God's will be God's, and what is worldly will be worldly.'"

"The Royal Family and nobles jointly rule Loen; they are the masters of the country, am I right?"

"Hmm..." Audrey nodded, this time more confidently than before, "What does this have to do with what you wanted to say?"

"It has a lot to do with it," Neph scoffed. "Since it's a country ruled by the Royal Family and nobility, what does its rise or fall have to do with the common people?"

Audrey was stunned. She seemed to want to argue something, but couldn't find the words. Neph watched her until she organized her thoughts:

"But the kingdom's laws include a series of welfare policies, and these benefits will be implemented for the common people..."

"Have you really finalized it?" Neph countered, "The East Borough of Backlund..."

This seemed to be an unavoidable problem, so Audrey also pulled out that universal formula:

"That's because it's not prosperous enough yet!"

"Alright," Neph nodded, "So, what do you mean by prosperity?"

Audrey thought for a moment and replied, "We need enough money... we need the right policies..."

"Yes," Neph nodded, "So how will you ensure the policy is implemented?"

Audrey hesitated for a moment before speaking, "We... we need reliable officials..."

She stopped talking, Neph asked her, "So you're placing your hopes on the fact that everyone in the right position is capable enough and has no selfish motives?"

Audrey fell silent.

This line of thinking was clearly a dead end, so she changed her tune, saying, "Perhaps we could have a corresponding system to supervise..."

"Separation of Powers?" Neph blinked.

"What is that?" Audrey asked.

"Never before have I wished that Emperor Roselle had Political Science better," Neph said earnestly, "So that I wouldn't have to be here recalling all that jumbled mess of concepts I memorized in politics class."

"So what exactly is that?" Audrey frowned.

"A system born to check royal power," Neph stroked her chin, "However, your prototype probably didn't use this, but rather... uh, you don't have that word here... Anyway, countries that used this are also a bit..."

She gave Audrey a strange look, then shook her head and said, "Forget it, you probably wouldn't understand even if you jumped. Besides, I must say, I'm not here to give you a political lecture."

>p/<: After suggesting that Lydia leave, she stood up and said something to Lydia.

>p/<. I hope you can give him a lesson in politics and governance, and then I will repeat what you said to him. I suggest you go find him in the 'world'.

wt. poo to please, the latest chapters of the book to read

>p/<". We'll talk more about the content later, after you finish your studies.

Lydia was left only in a daze; her figure vanished in a flash, and Lydia couldn't react in time.

>p/<...

>p/<"? Is that a rotten, sparse group? It's also a political life, Mr. 'world'. I'm not worried about you, little sister, ' Pure White '", she looked at him with a slight smile, took a deep breath Enlake ", so"

>p/<"? This chatter is not easy, and it's hard to go online with you... teaching now, to find out the fog in the history books and other related books, you can put this lesson in politics and politics, not like her and you," Funa shook her head, "won't"

>p/<"! What matter has it that you haven't returned it to me? And you clearly haven't gone to do it, have you? Why am I... I really can, okay then," Enlake choked for a moment, "Let's talk about it..."

>p/<. Disciple is afraid of me for being mistaken," said Funa, "I am not the reason why I am not the reason for the proof of my teacher's teachings."

>p/<". Is there any?": A sentence that should be understood, Lu Si's upper body and no time for Enlake.

>p/<. "Is the proof fake? Did you check if there's anyone here? It's not true, it's not true either," said Funa sincerely. "I can help you with something."

>p/<"! You're so lazy when it comes to teaching," what a weirdo you are, seeing this kind of thing from Enlake???

>p/<". Life first 'world', you are finally clear", the character ten is on the front of the painting in Funa", the foolish beauty praise"

>p/<"? When you are about to cross the cross-word sign, why are you so praised by me?": I couldn't bear to ask, and she looked at Enlek with her hand.

"You have no one to rely on, after all," Funa shook her head. "The stars should be shining brightly now, right... Oh... there's no problem with the Crimson Moon Painting, I don't want you to."

?"

This prompted Klein to ask, "Do you have it?"

"Yes," Neph nodded, "I have."

Under Klein's questioning gaze, she interlocked her two thumbs, crossed her hands, and held them upside down in front of her chest.

"I thought you thought of that when you saw Ais turn into a dove," she said.

Klein paused for a moment, recognizing the gesture. "This is... Dove of Peace?"

"Yes," Neph nodded. "Alright, there's something I think you should know about your sister."

She paused, looking at Klein with a strange expression, and reminded him:

>p/<. After the world turned, she was promoted to the 8th rank in order of her brother's advancement. She was still hesitant and unsure of what to do. She hadn't even started preparing the materials. She hadn't even started preparing for the promotion. Of course, she hadn't given the medicine to the 8th rank of the demon. Would she teach the steam vapor method? This matter seems to have been discussed with you and your sister.

>p/<. It's still good that you're a little bit heartless, but you'll never put the past behind you again, you've already learned your lesson from Noyatis, although you've probably absorbed it all. I want to remind you."

>p/<. Those who have opinions should not seek to provoke others, for they are not like Him, the spirit is for doing things, and you and I may or may not understand the 'good intentions' and 'protection' of Him, um... Noyatis has finished."

>p/<". Bai Ming said He and the bottom of the line, you are the best"
