The next morning, after breakfast together held they prevented people from leaving. This time it was Mab who delivered the plan, he gave a speech to them. At first he was not confident and his speech was nervous, but as the face of the population changed, the words of Mab's confidence were increasingly formed.
“Everything! You guys don't want to stay here, do you?! You guys want to live as you wish, right?! What a fun life! A life that is not bound by differences! Without hatred! Without hostility! You guys want it, right?!”
“Yaaa!”
“Then, all, who want such a life come with me! Let's build our own settlement! We will start a new life better!”
“Yaaa!”
“I'm coming with you, Mab!”
“I too!”
“So much as I am!”
“Let's build our own settlement!” Mab called back.
“Yaaa!”
“Come! Ayooo!”
Kraz who was observing from the edge of the crowd grinned happily. “She succeeded,” muttered.
Okul then move forward. He stood beside Mab. “Everything! From today Mr. Mab will lead you, does anyone disagree?”
“I agree!”
“We agree!”
“She's the best.”
“Although still young, but Mab is reliable. I've known him for a long time. I know it.”
“Alright, I don't think there's any rejection,” said Okul. “Mr. Mab, from today on you are their leader. Are you ready?”
“I'll do what I can, Sir!”
“Good,” praise Okul. “First of all, to build a settlement requires a land. I know a good place for that, which is southwest of the main city. We will open up the land there and build your settlement in that place.”
“Sir, are we allowed?” ask a middle-aged man.
“Master, you guys are free to stay wherever the origin is not in the main city, right? Then I guess it's not a problem. But I understand your worries. Don't worry, I've thought about that too. Me and Mr. Mab will go to the city and ask permission from the government to use the place. During that time you are prepared with equipment to open the land. Understand?”
“Ya!”
“Alright then, you guys can disperse!” okul's orders.
People left the gathering place. They also get ready. After the place was deserted Mab approached Okul.
“Sir, is it okay to take me into the city? Mixed man is very disliked there.”
“If you're with me then it's okay,” Okul replied.
“So, Okul, what can we help?” tanya Kraz represents herself and the rest of the members.
“You look for the equipment needed in the city. The people here do not have enough tools. And please choose those who can afford to follow us to the forest in the southwest.”
“Mr. Okul, you are very sure about this, but what if it turns out they did not get permission to open the land?”
The question from Ursa surprised Mab. His face turned worried. But not with his vice-captain, Okul did not waver with the possibility.
“I have a feeling that this will work. Even if not I will force it to succeed.”
“You're the stubborn type, huh, Mr. Okuls. But, I don't mind with that.”
...***...
After a while of waiting finally Okul and Mab delivered to the mayor's office. According to the rules, the mayor must be someone from the ordinary human class. Likewise with the mayor of Bode City, he was a middle-aged man who was already waiting for them behind his desk.
The two of them immediately saluted. Then after that convey their purpose clearly and firmly without rambling. The Mayor nodded between their explanations, not looking interested but understanding the meaning.
“Mr. Okul, right?”
“Yes, Sir.”
“I know a little about your team. I'm so grateful that you guys saved the people in that settlement. And I deeply regret what happened to your captain, Mr. Algol Perseus's. Hopefully he will improve soon.”
“Thank you very much for your attention, Sir.”
The Mayor spoke again. “I feel guilty for my inability to take care of those mixed-men. But I can't do much either. What drives them away from the main city is not me, but the inhabitants of this city. Therefore, in exchange I will allow you, the mixed humans, to open the land where you want it.”
Mab straight away.
“Thank you very much, Sir! We are very much indebted to you! We will not forget this generosity!” mab is full of awards.
“Already, already... don't praise me excessively so. I'm just trying to fulfill my long-neglected responsibilities. Actually I don't deserve those compliments.”
“No, Sir, you've been kind.”
“Yah... alright if you insist,” said the Mayor. “However, if you want to promise that you guys will not cause any problems then I will be very grateful.”
“Of course, Sir! You don't have to be begging,” said Mab.
“Betul, Sir.”
“Say if you need anything. A soldier? The workforce? The money? Tell. I'll help you guys with pleasure.”
“You are truly generous, Sir. But I don't need that. I also want to teach all those mixed people hardships and hard work.”
“Hahaha! Nice, nice! You're wise.”
“With respect I receive your praise,” said Okul humbled. “However, if you are pleased, Sir, I would like to borrow the horses in order to facilitate our work of clearing the land. We will guarantee the horses a healthy return without injury. Paying rent is no problem. Only if you allow it, Sir.”
“No, no! What the hell are you saying? Let alone rent or borrow money, I will willingly give you as much as you need. Look, Sir Puppis has mandated me to pay attention to you and of course I cannot disappoint his wishes. So, ask for everything you need, Mr. Okul.”
Okul smiled happily at the statement. “Really, you really are a person with a big heart, Sir. I'm very appreciative of your offer. But, please allow me to teach those mixed humans to be able to fight only with what they have. I'll just borrow the horses, sir. Please, please grant my request.”
“Ah... If you want, then fine. I don't mind. You're free to borrow as many horses as you like. Take what you think is best.”
“Thank you very much, Sir! You are really very light hands!” okul said praising-muji. “However, sir, I'm afraid no one believes me if you've allowed us to clear the land and borrow the horses, so please do you give us a clear proof?”
“Yes, yes. Wait a minute.”
The Mayor struggled with the paper and the pen. He wrote something on the paper as much as two pieces. Then he put an official stamp. He asks Okul to come closer and accept him.
“This is an official letter from me. It was about permission to open the land. And this one is a warrant. If you show this warrant then your request will definitely be obeyed,” said the Mayor.
Okul. His smile implied a courteous deep thank you. “I'll keep my promise to return the horses in a fit state without a flaw, sir. I'll make sure.”
“There is no need for you to force yourself, Mr. Okul.”
“Then, sir, with all due respect we beg to withdraw,” said Okul while half-down.
“Yes. Good luck with what you're working on.”
After getting the permit Okul and Mab exit the room. Okul immediately grinned happily as the door behind him was closed by the bodyguards who had been accompanying them in the room.
Okul's happy expression made Mab wonder. “Why didn't you accept those lucrative offers, sir? That will benefit us.”
“No, Mr. Mabb. If we receive too much help from them we will owe them. It's not good.”
“Why?”
“Because debt was brought to death. If you cannot bear the burden, you should not accept it. And again, if we receive a lot of support from them it can even be used to sue us in the future.”
“Ah, so... I understand now.”
“Mr. Mab—”
“Anu, by the way, Sir,” Mab cut Okul sentence, “I am not comfortable with this mister call, can you call me directly by name only?” her door.
“Mab?”
“Well, so much better to sound!” said the man was carefree. “Continuing the conversation earlier, sir, you seem so happy with the results of the discussion. Why?”
“Because we get these magic letters.”
“Is there any other reason, sir? Because I think the conversation just now seemed too smooth to make it feel awkward. I know the Mayor did not pay attention to me or was also interested in our language, but you.”
“You turned out to be quite sensitive.” Okul. “Ya, right. The Mayor did not care about our affairs, not interested at all, in fact, he agreed-agree because he did not want to get involved in complicated problems if he refused. Most of the places we ask for are areas that do not have too much influence for the main city, so he does not care.”
“So apparently.”
“But there is one more reason why everything goes too smoothly, namely because of Sir Puppis. I was wondering why everything was too smooth, then when the Mayor mentioned the name Sir Puppis I understood. He just wants his name well in the eyes of Sir Puppis if he helps us.”
“I don't know who Sir Puppis you mean, sir. What great guy is he?”
Okul immediately looked at Mab in shock. “You don't know him?”
“We're too busy with our lives in that faraway place, sir. We don't really care about the others as long as we live peacefully.”
Okul snorted amusedly hearing it. It turns out that besides Alpha and Ursa there are still people who have never heard of Puppis's greatness, even his name has frightened many people.
“Sir Puppis Argo Navis, he is the supreme commander in the military, the commander of all commanders. We are directly under the orders of the person, that's why the conversation was able to surf it,” Okul replied later.
Mab was shocked. “Asthetic person turned out!” reflexes calling. “Then, sir, you and your colleagues are also great people.”
“Well, we're just ordinary soldiers taking care of hostages. We are not great at all.”
“Sandera?” Mab is confused.
“Yes. Alpha and Ursa, our two youngest members are our hostages. Maybe we don't look like captives with his captors, it's because we've been together for a long time, but that's how we are.”
“If you are not great people, sir, then you are good people.”
“Is that?”
“Ya.”
“To fulfill your praise we will help you establish the settlement while we are still here waiting for the recovery of our captain.”
“Thank you very much, Sir! You guys are really our saviors!”
