	“No one has gained any benefit from the emergence of this conflict, and all those involved are convinced that they are victims and passive participants. One must say, it is a rather peculiar state of affairs.”		“No one has gained any benefit from the emergence of this conflict, and all those involved are convinced that they are victims and passive participants. One must say, it is a rather peculiar state of affairs.”

	Wouldn’t it be strange if Doctor Lee were different? While being analysed, Fan Hyulick found himself thinking this. To contribute to hastening the downfall of Tytania simply because one wished to make its rise and fall the subject of academic ~~research, wasn’t~~ that the very epitome of putting the cart before the horse?		Wouldn’t it be strange if Doctor Lee were different? While being analysed, Fan Hyulick found himself thinking this. To contribute to hastening the downfall of Tytania simply because one wished to make its rise and fall the subject of academic research–wasn’t that the very epitome of putting the cart before the horse?

	In short, Fan Hyulick believed that this Doctor Lee was probably the most theoretically armed troublemaker in the universe. At least for the time being. Hyulick considered that it was far too early to draw any conclusions on any matter, yet there was no guarantee that this wasn’t an overestimation.

	Fan Hyulick was pondering this earnestly, though to outsiders it must surely have appeared ridiculous. This young man was nothing more than the acting chief clerk on a smuggling vessel. He did not even rule a single planet. The idea of “defeating Tytania” was surely nothing more than a fool’s daydream.		Fan Hyulick was pondering this earnestly, though to outsiders it must surely have appeared ridiculous. This young man was nothing more than the acting chief clerk on a smuggling vessel. He did not even rule a single planet. The idea of “defeating Tytania” was surely nothing more than a fool’s daydream.

	Originally, his animosity towards Tytania had been directed solely at the late Count Arses Tytania. There had been a girl named Lira Florentz who had made him a herb omelette; she had been forced to her death for the sake of Count Arses Tytania. Hyulick had to avenge her. For him, that was all there was to it. After all, a revolution was supposed to be a struggle to secure one’s daily bread. What was wrong with fighting for an omelette!

	“So an omelette can change the course of cosmic history. It’s quite something. One really ought not to underestimate the power of appetite.”		“So an omelette can change the course of cosmic history. It’s quite something. One really ought not to underestimate the power of appetite.”

	Doctor Lee, who made this observation, was not merely a man of research and commentary, but a man of action. Paying no heed to Fan Hyulick’s intentions, he was devising a plan to form an anti-Tytania united front.		Doctor Lee, who made this observation, was not merely a man of research and commentary but a man of action.

	When this united front would come into being, the Blaze Flag Army would be indispensable as the core of its military strength. When making a snowman, the core needed not to be large, but a core was essential nonetheless. However, the reputation of the Blaze Flag Army was now in steady decline. Anyone who heard its name responded by furrowing their brow and curling their lips.

	“The Blaze Flag Army? They’re finished. They were nothing more than a foil for Tytania. No matter how much they try to oppose them, they simply don’t have anyone capable of rivalling Tytania’s Clanner or the Four Dukes, do they?”		“The Blaze Flag Army? They’re finished.

	That was the prevailing view, and it seemed that the Blaze Flag Army ~~has~~ been reduced to the role of a disillusioned Robin Hood.		That was the prevailing view, and it seemed that the Blaze Flag Army had been reduced to the role of a disillusioned Robin Hood.
