Thus did the battle on the Lunaria-Amidonia front come to an early end with a victory for the Kingdom of Friedonia. However, while Lombard and Yomi were taken captive, Saint Anne was still out there, so the Amidonian Front Force had to remain on guard against the Orthodox Papal State.

The war would be decided by the showdown between Souma and Fuuga.

Chapter 7: Even If We Part

Before Fuuga Haan began his invasion of the Kingdom of Friedonia, Souma was having the people of towns and villages along the Great Tiger Empire’s invasion route evacuate south of Parnam. He had more leeway to prepare this time than in the Amidonian War, so he didn’t need to take drastic measures like inventing the Flame Pierrots to burn villages and drive them out for their own good. He could complete the evacuation just by spreading word of what was coming.

This was done because the great minds of the Kingdom agreed that, win or lose, the fighting would go no further than Parnam. Some people wanted to stand and fight in the places of their birth, but the priority was evacuating noncombatants like children, women who didn’t serve in the military, and the elderly.

The same was done in Parnam itself. Souma had Poncho take over for Weist as the lord of Venetinova, now the Kingdom’s second largest city. This allowed the gourmet to evacuate there along with Ginger, Genia, and the other noncombatants and their families. Poncho had been Souma’s magistrate in Venetinova once upon a time. But when the title was originally handed out, it was decided that giving such a key city to a relative newcomer like Poncho would result in major pushback. Instead, it had gone to Weist, who had long served under Excel. However, with his efforts in the food crisis and war logistics, Poncho now had a distinguished career behind him, and it was safe to appoint him Lord of Venetinova.

The city was also home to many former refugees who looked up to his second wife, Komain, so he wouldn’t have trouble ruling it. As for Weist, he was rewarded for his service by expanding his previous domain, Altomura.

Meanwhile, Souma was arranging for a certain someone to leave the capital...

“Roroa. I want you to move to Venetinova with the children tomorrow.”

That night, I was alone in my room with Roroa, who was in her pajamas when I broached the topic. She looked at me like a child who’d just been slapped across the face for no good reason; it was a mix of shock, frustration, and sadness.

Still, she ground her back teeth as she tried to feign calm.

“You’re sure...I can’t be here...?”

“Yes...” I said. “There are things I want you to do in Venetinova. If anything were to happen to us...you’re the only one I can count on to take care of things after that.”

“Take care of things if somethin’ happens to you? Do ya realize how awful you’re bein’, askin’ me to do that? I’d have to
