The Economics of Prophecy

"I'm sorry. You're just worried about Ricardo. But I'm fine, I'm just a little tired."

said Alfina, who woke herself up on a covered bed in one of the Grand Duke's rooms. The consciousness is decent, and the words are solid. I was just a little relieved.

However, blue blood vessels originally stand out on white skin like white magnetism.

"I heard you fell when you were on your way to the crystal."

"... hoping to get a slightly clearer image. I just couldn't do it."

Problem number one, crystals burden users. Besides, the deeper you try to look at the prophecy. The more information we try to finalise, the more energy we need. It doesn't change from physics to business. It's a universal principle.

"So you're saying it was a situation that had to be done."

"Senior, now..."

Meer stops me. But I stared at Alfina.

"............... right. We haven't been able to identify where the disaster will occur yet."

Problem number two, dealing with prophecy hasn't worked. And part three.

"Can you tell me why Master Alfina is so obsessed with the role of the witch princess?

I came to the core all the time. The words of D'Argan are revived. Gathering interpersonal information has always been my habit of caring about preservation. I mean, gathering information from people was an investigation. So I hesitated to look into close human beings.

If you were worried, you should have asked directly. I declared to the Grand Duke that I would help, and I have something to wear.

"Because it's the only role I can play."

Alfina, a rebel blood muscle if she doesn't play that role, has no place. But then there is no reason why I should have released my last prophecy against the king's will. Of course, I tried to serve as a witch to protect the people, and there would be no mistake in that.

I don't think there's a lie to that look on the villager's face that looked worried in Leiria Village.

"With regard to prophecy, is it boring to think that I, too, have a role to play that I can only do?

"No.... the last disaster could never be prevented without Ricardo's help. But you can't just rely on Ricardo."

Alfina shakes her head in my words.

"Besides, it's really my fault that I couldn't do this."

Those who stand on top are also heavily responsible for managing their own health. I'm not going to deny that. But that's all the more reason to lighten up the cause that forced you to do that a little bit. That is correct as a strategic response…. No, that's not what I'm talking about right now.

I took a deep breath once.

"Before I came here, I had seen two floats in form. One is royal. You saw it with Master Alfina the other day. And the other belongs to Grand Duke Bertoldo."

"... eh"

Silence covered the room. I could see that Alfina grabbed the sheet tightly.

A symbol of royal and grand aristocratic honor that made the form, relief as a family photograph. Each of the two surfaces had an erased spot. In other words, the person portrayed there was later decided not to be there.

The ancient Roman emperor has been murdered enough to say that it is probably his job to be assassinated, but few people have been made that far. That's about it, a thorough form of sin. Record write-off.

Two relief, two that had been erased, no man and woman naturally......

After this, it's not what I'm supposed to say. I waited for Alfina to react.

"My father... pushed off the opposition around him... and married my mother. My father didn't regret that. My mother also thanked my father until the end......"

After a moment of silence, Alfina finally opened her mouth. I listen in silence without saying anything. Alfina talks about her pompous and claustrophobic life in the King's Capital. I seemed lonely, but in that tone I felt a strong love for my parents.

"No matter what anyone says, my father and mother were a happy couple. So..."

Alfina's parents are treated as if they weren't there like that relief. Perhaps, but the cathedral's marriage record has also been erased.

"I don't want to restore the honor of my father and mother. There was just a group of happy couples, that's all..."

The state belongs to many people of different positions. And national policies must basically be uniform. These two are both facts, and I cannot deny that I have complained about the degree of rigour of this country's policy, that is, too rigid.

However, these two naturally contradict each other. There are people out there who eat their share. For example, the last Pedro. Pedro showed rare qualities as an administrator of beekeeping. There is also something to be said about suitability for change. But perhaps not as an agricultural worker.

Pedro becomes a problem in many ways if in the likeness of a village dominated by agriculture, that is to say by repetition and stability. This is not a question of the village being too conservative or not taking enough account of Pedro.

More or less inevitable than many humans move as one organization. As Pedro got his place by beekeeping, there are ways to mitigate it. That's what the general trading company I'm aiming for has as one of its aims to increase the number of niches I've said.

But that's just to make it better. I can't do it to zero.

In the first place, I myself have lived in the stability created as a result of the sacrifice I said so. That would have been the same fundamentals in the previous world, not just in this one. I change it because I don't care, but I can't deny it as evil.

So it's okay for Alfina's father to be neglected. I have no choice but to eliminate them by force because I have trouble getting them to stay. If I could just say it was necessary, I think it would be ruthless.

Telling people not to do it is going to be asking people to do things they can't do.

But it's too much to decide that there wasn't anything that existed.

…………

"A couple erased from relief, whose oblivion contributes to the state as a witch princess. That would prove that the two marriages weren't wrong,"

It's a messed up logic. I'm flipping the causal link. It may also resemble a hysteria of a child who cannot accept reality.

"............ yes. It's my selfishness. So..."

So we can't be bothered. That's why.

"Right, it's your ego. There seems to be no reason for me to help Master Alfina."

"Yes......"

"Senior!?

"Now let's begin by identifying where the disaster will come from"

"Ricardo?

"Seniors??

Alfina looks at me with her confused eyes as she lays face down with Meer, who was grating.

"It's nothing strange. States and individuals have their own positions, conveniences and willingness. That's fine. Alfina's ego may exist as an ego as long as it exists as an ego. That's just as true as your parents existed. And if I don't care about Alfina's ego, let's get in the way of it as my ego"

There is an ego in the state. I have an ego. Those two collide. There is no denying that there is an ego or that it will bump into each other. Simply because that's what it is. Otherwise, it's not ego.

And you can negotiate or fight. process it as efficiently as possible. This is called safekeeping. But this time my behavior is a little simpler.

"Ricardo. So..."

"This time I lend my strength because it has nothing to do with Master Alfina"

I said. Alfina became a desperate thinking expression.

"That's what Ricardo thinks of the country..."

"No. It's easier. Because I am grateful to both Klaus Bertoldo and Sophia Felbach. For sending one of my friends into the world."

Anyway, I'm me. The shape of that ego is also a little different. The value of one friend is relatively great. Just as a piece of copper coin is precious to the poor. Not to mention she...

"Huh!"

To my proclamation, Alfina lay down her face.

"Now, for my selfishness, let me give you some information"

I said. The nagging shoulder of Alfina is shaking. After a while, my neck moved slightly vertically.

"First the prophecy...... What's the matter, Meer, why are you pushing? From now on..."

"Okay. Because I understand. Because I know enough that my senior is twisting like a warlock. Stay out of the room for a moment until Master Alfina calms down."

Meer kicked me out. Funny, I just insisted on what I wanted.

It wasn't until four and a half minutes later that Meer opened the door and allowed me in.
