Otome Game Mob Villain

Chapter 475

"As a matter of fact, I have been assigned as 'Deputy Commander of the First Order of Bardia' by Rainer-sama as of this date. Once again, I would like to ask for your kind cooperation from now on."

"What? ......?"

The sudden report stunned me, but I immediately understood the meaning and my eyes widened. His eyes widened.

'You did it! Congratulations, Rubens!"

Everyone in the room applauded as I applauded his promotion, and I could hear voices of "congratulations" coming from everywhere.

"Oh, thank you."

Rubens blushed a little and scratched his head, then mumbled apologetically, "So, um, I have a favor to ask you ......."

"Yes . What is it?"

'I'd like to have a quick word with ...... Diana alone, if that's all right.'

As he said that, he took a sideways glance at her.

At that moment, a sweet and sour air flowed in the room, not to mention the warm and raw glances directed at the two of them.

Stein and Raymond look a little unhappy, though.

Diana doesn't seem too full of it, either, because her cheeks are a little red.

But she clears her throat and shakes her head.

"Rubens. I congratulate you on your promotion to deputy commander, but we can talk about it later. Now is not the time."

"U......, yes, you're right."

She gave him a blackmailing look and he looked down with a shudder.

Oh no, Rubens is now in the mood like a dog lowering its ears in anger.

I couldn't help but laugh, "Ha-ha-ha! I chuckle.

'Master Rid?"

They were both tilting their heads.

I looked around the room and saw that everyone was trembling as if they were trying to endure something.

I was the only one who was allowed to laugh at them because of my position.

Watching them interact with each other any longer may cause problems with everyone's abdominal muscles.

"Haha, sorry, sorry. I'm sorry, I'm just having a little fun with you two."

Ha, ha ......?"

Rubens and Deanna, who are looking at each other, still don't seem to have noticed what's going on with everyone else.

I cleared my throat and looked at them again.

'I'm almost done with the checks for tomorrow Deanna, you should congratulate Rubens on his promotion."

......⁉ And, but ......?"

Diana rolled her eyes and looked puzzled, but I told her to cover it up.

"This is an 'order'. Go on, you two, hurry up '.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. Now, if you'll excuse me."

At my insistence, she bowed her head reluctantly.

But her steps were somewhat light and she seemed to be happy.

Just as they were about to leave the room, she asked, "Oh, Rubens, can I have a word with you? I called out to him alone.

"......? Thank you very much."

"Well, I'll leave you to it."

Diana left the room as she was, but he came over to me with his head tilted.

I narrowed my eyes and whispered in his ear.

"You've been promoted to deputy commander, you know. It's a good opportunity for you. Why don't you ask her to marry you?"

"Na......⁉ No, I intend to do so even if you don't tell me!"

He rolled his eyes, blushed, and raised his voice.

"Ah...... shit......⁉"

Rubens came to his senses, turned pale, and slowly looked around the room, but it was too late.

Everyone in the room is looking at Rubens warmly.

Curtis and Amon seem to be laughing uncontrollably.

Curtis and Amon can't hold back and seem to be laughing.

"UGU......⁉ I'm sorry."

He slumped his shoulders, and I again asked him.

"I'm looking forward to your progress."

"Thanks, ....... But Master Rid always has one extra word."

Rubens corrected his dignity and left the room in awe, saying, "I'll leave you now.

After the room is somewhat quiet, the children of the Order begin to smile in unison.

For the children of the Second Order, Rubens and Diana are their superiors.

As one would expect, they could not laugh at the exchange in front of their superiors, so they were probably trying their best to suppress their laughter.

Although there are some tough parts, Deanna and Rubens are well-liked by the kids in the troupe.

The fact that everyone smiles when they see them together is a sign that they are so forgiving.

But if they stay like this forever,

The conversation can't go on like this forever.

I cough deliberately to get their attention.

"Now, I'm getting a little off topic. Let's get back to the main topic. Now that the plan has been explained, do you have any questions?"

...... then, I do have one question. May I?"

The one who raised his hand was Kahlua of the bear tribe.

'Yes, what's wrong?"

"I understand what you are planning, but isn't your policy of 'don't chase those who run away, only fight those who come at you' a little lenient toward the enemy?"

As he said this, Ovelia of the Rabbit Tribe cut in, "Ha, indeed."

The ones who fled are sure to come after our lives again ...... with weapons. Shouldn't we defeat every enemy that attacks us? If we let the fleeing enemy live, he will return to the battlefield and we may be the next to be killed. ...... Isn't that right, Master Curtis?"

She asked him, and he nodded, "You have a point."

"The battle is not something that can be talked about in terms of humanitarianism. If you lose, your country will be destroyed, and those who survive will not only lose their homes and their positions, but at worst, they may become slaves of the victorious nation. ...... I agree, Master Rid."

I was the center of attention here when I was asked to speak.

'...... yeah. What Kalua, Ovelia, and Curtis are saying is generally true."

I nodded in affirmation and continued, "But, ......

There is a difference between a 'war' and a 'slaughter. This battle is also about the future of the fox people and the Bardia family. The opponent we should defeat is not the 'fox people. The real opponent we should defeat is the "current Grandek family," which is still oppressed. If we massacre the Foxes, the future will be closed even if we win. It is not enough to just win. It has to be a victory that leads to the future."

The room is quiet and everyone is holding their breath.

"I know I'm talking about difficult things in a tough situation. I know I'm talking about difficult things in a tough situation, and I may be talking about beautiful and idealistic things. But I still believe that I can do it with everyone in this room. Please, at the risk of being absurd, do me a favor. Tomorrow, I ask that you follow the principle of "don't chase those who run away, but only fight those who come at you," and that you avoid futile attempts to kill, which would be a waste of lives. This is my request ...... to all of you."

When I bowed my head deeply, everyone in the room was in an uproar.

I'm aware that I'm asking a lot of everyone who will be risking their lives on the battlefield tomorrow.

But even if they are the enemy on the battlefield, there are families waiting for their return.

If they slaughter the Foxmen and win the war, their remaining families will hate the Bardia family, and it will be an eternal grudge.

If that happens, the future of coexistence and co-prosperity between the two families will be closed.

However, it is out of the question that everyone who serves the Bardia family will be killed for doing nothing.

That is why we have adopted a policy of "not pursuing those who flee, but fighting only those who defy us.

This was to avoid needless killing and to reduce postwar resentment, even if only a little.

However, this puts a considerable burden on everyone who puts their lives on the line.

On the battlefield, lives must be exchanged many times in a short period of time.

In a ruthless battlefield where a split-second decision can lead directly to death, it is not difficult to imagine that an order to "not take the enemy's life lightly" would cloud judgment.

What a convenient and reckless request.

Looking up slowly, Lagarde, a fox-man, smiled and said, "Hehe."
