Arc 1: The Rebellion – The Beginning Chapter 3.6

In the town around Earl Uren’s castle were Yukito and Dio. Dio wanted to take a walk outside after his thoughts came to a standstill.

What were at the town was people troubled with food eagerly waiting for the distribution of food from the castle. Those that did not rely on the support to live gave glances of scorn.

Yukito who saw this terrible scene, shiver in the possibility that he might be one of them if Dio did not pick him up.

“The disparity in this country is quite terrible actually. Compared to the other countries. Not talking about those with a job, those that can’t end up like that, unable to break free from the situation.”

Hidden under a hat, Dio said that in a sharper voice than usual.

Feeling the anger within the voice, Yukito, unknowing what to reply, kept silent.

“To Father, the citizens are things not worth bothering. Father has never been interested in anything other than themselves. But, a country are the citizens themselves. A country with no citizens is like a corpse with no soul.”

Yukito felt that the words from Dio were heavy. That’s because he has never thought about such a major thing. To Yukito who is rarely interested in other people before coming to this world, thinking of people who he does not know and in masses is a realm he have never imagined.

That’s why Yukito carry respect towards Dio who is angry for the mass.

Yukito was following silently after Dio. Dio who walked around the castle town with his own legs, were verifying the situation of the town with his own eyes.

At the end of that day, Dio went towards the walls that surrounds the castle and castle town.

“Yukito. No matter the reason, I believe I, who caused the civil war, is the evil to this country.”

“….I wonder. I do not think so though…”

“To the people living under Father, I am a hindrance.”

Dio smiled bitterly towards Yukito who was having trouble expressing himself considerately.

(trytranslaions.com at your service!)

“That…might be true. Just that, that might be the minority, you know?”

“Why do you think so?”

“Since Dio-sama murmured that this place is still better, then it’s worse from a whole country’s perspective, isn’t it? ”

(trytraslations.com at your service!)

Seeing Yukito who picked up his murmur and derived the actual situation of the country from there, Dio nodded with satisfaction.

(trytranslations.com at your servie!)

“Is something the matter?”

“It’s nothing. Only, I found some light on the path and thought that I could still work hard.”

(trytranslations.com at your ervice!)

Saying that, Dio looked in the direction of the capital far away. Nah, he’s looking at something further than that.

Kaguya, his sister that is at the frontlines of the borders. The reason why Dio raised his army.

(trytransations.com at your service!)

“Are you worried about your sister?”

“Yep. Very. But if it’s Aneue, she should be fine.”

Turning his back, he followed the way back to the castle.

(trytrnslations.com at your service!)

“Opposite to the reliable-looking back, there was also a slight lonesome feel to it. Seeing that, Yukito started thinking how to do something about the current situation.”

With the map of Veris displayed on his menu, Yukito simulated the path of the civil war in his head.

And gave out quite a few unknown sighs.

(trytranslations.com at yor service!)

“With the current situation, we can’t win, can we?”

(trytranslation.com at your service!)

Murmuring, Yukito looked at the map. In the south of Veris, the soldiers of Earl Uren’s aren’t enough. And in Dio’s camp, though we have nobles and volunteer soldiers joining the fray, they still do not have influential nobles joining the fight.

Dragging the opportunistic nobles is Dio’s biggest task. And that trump card is Sophia herself, and for that to happen, Dio was resolved to use any means possible to have Sophia on his side.

But, that resolve was made useless with Yukito’s existence. That’s because his existence has strongly pulled Sophia in.

Though Yukito realized that, even knowing Dio’s intention, Yukito has never personally went to Sophia’s room.

The attitude of Yukito not going on his own discretion unless upon Sophia’s call, was what grasped Sophia’s trust even more with her ability to capture sound through the wind, but that’s not something Yukito would know. That’s why Yukito is most troubled towards Sophia’s friendliness.

Though Yukito was having some stupid thoughts of “Is this my period of romantic interest?”, he quickly dismissed those thoughts, shaking his head.

As he did that, one of Sophia’s escorts invited Sophia.

Realizing that it was time to be Sophia’s talking companion, Yukito thought. A way to penetrate though Larg’s fault-finding and reach Sophia’s room.

As he thought “now, what should I do?”, he reached a conclusion of not being an opponent of someone troublesome and tough and also not fighting as the best solution.

The Yukito at this time wouldn’t think that this trivial thought would result in a development of a tactic after a talk with Dio.
