236 Episode 230: Breakfast Negotiations ①

Sophie can speak up from the Baukis Empire's Foreign Affairs Minister.

(Is it suddenly a minister? Well, this is the princess of Rosenheim with the right to inherit the throne. In other words, the information about your stay at the hotel is lost to the Baukis Empire. So they pulled all the boarding records for the Magic Boat.)

Allen wonders if the Foreign Secretary didn't come all of a sudden.

I have already told him that the dates for the Baukis Empire were where I was in the Kingdom of Latarsh.

I think it's just fine because Allen and I have a lot to talk about.

"You're talking in a separate room. I got it. Please wait while we wait for your friend"

That being said, I decide to wait for the slowest keel today.

Allen sleeps in the same room as Dogola, Keel, and Formal in the men's room, but doesn't wake her up and go around because she woke up earlier than everyone else.

Sleep and meals are of the utmost importance for maximum efficiency.

"Thank you for your response, despite your sudden call. Now prepare your meal."

That being said, the Foreign Secretary gives gaze directions to the Dwarves in his distribution who were behind him.

As much as I lost it, Keel came, so I head to dinner.

The dining room I was shown was quite large.

(Dwarf country is quite a gold body. What about the Gearmoot Empire?

The brilliant dining room stands out for its decorations with gems and gold leaves.

Allen described it as "gold".

I wonder if the same is true of the imperial Gearmut Empire as well.

The Foreign Secretary and Sophie turn to the luxurious table.

"Do they drink anything?

"No."

(You can't start drinking in the morning)

"Something to drink" at this time is what alcohol drinks.

Sophie turned down alcohol from the Foreign Secretary.

(What is it? Sophie stopped drinking. I don't eat dragon meat, and you're eating less)

Sophie stopped drinking, too, because Allen doesn't drink any alcohol.

Also, the elves don't seem to eat warcraft meat.

I've heard this since I was in school, but they don't eat meat from wildlife but they don't eat meat from warcraft. This neighborhood is not like humans.

That's why I didn't even eat white dragon meat just Sophie and Formal either.

For this reason, it is also said that the warcraft of the Demon King's Army attacking Rosenheim and the Central Continent are not organized in the same way. The warcraft humans are eating doesn't attack much on the central continent.

It is said that this is to avoid the Demon King's Army being fed the defeated Warcraft.

Thanks to this, Boa meat in the pioneering village is a valuable food on the battlefield.

Conversely, in Rosenheim, warcraft that humans feed on are also attacked because they do not fear being fed.

Allen doesn't drink alcohol because of memories of her previous life when she hated making mistakes in judging games and falling asleep because of alcohol.

There are also magic restoration rings that don't drink alcohol.

It's a state where magic is constantly recovering thanks to the effects of the Magic Recovery Ring, which recovers 1 percent per second.

To avoid wasting a second, magic basically keeps consuming.

Allen thinks he'll be drunk and waste hours if he accidentally falls asleep.

Even though it's breakfast, it's brought from soup.

(Seriously, is it course food in the morning? Feels like eating over a lot of time? Well, the Minister of Foreign Affairs is here and I'll pass on the request.)

"Again, my name is Nukakai, and I am the Minister of Foreign Affairs"

"Thank you for taking the time to come. My name is Sophia Rone. And these are my people."

Sophie introduces me to Allen and the others as companions. I don't name them one at a time, but I bow my head gently as I sit down and say hello.

Allen doesn't call herself Rosenheim's staff.

Look it up and you'll see, but Allen thinks that if you know you have power, that's what's going to cause trouble.

"Let me start by thanking you. Thank you for providing such a precious elf spirit drug."

Minister for Foreign Affairs Nukai thanked him.

Anything, thanks to the massive amount of elf psychotropic provided by Rosenheim, despite the invasion of the Demon King's Army on an unprecedented scale, he said, the least sacrifice ever.

"No. Didn't you offer it directly to the Baukis Empire?

The Baukis Empire has already officially thanked Rosenheim for providing the elf spirit medicine.

But it's just what I let my buddy Merle have.

"Indeed, from Lord Merle of our Empire, we have bought it with favor"

(Well, Merle seems to have been born a civilian. I don't think the Bawkiss Empire can say no. If you bought it, wouldn't you have forced it that far?

Merle is a child of civilians who is not even a nobleman.

If you were forced to take it, Allen thinks future responses will change.

The school seems to have responded appropriately to Merle, who lived in a stronghold with the Princess of Rosenheim.

Maybe that's why Merle mistakenly assumed that the Princess of Rosenheim let me have the Elf's spiritual medication.

It should be noted that Merle was given the Seed of Magic.

I am thankful, but it works a lot worse than the 'heavenly grace' I offered to the Gearmut Empire.

This magic seed, which requires five D-rank Demon Stones, restores the magic power of its allies in the range of 50 meters in radius of the object used 1000 times.

"Heavenly Grace", which requires five B-rank Demon Stones, restores the health and magic of all allies in the 100 meter radius of the object used and also repairs body defects.

"Really? Less damage is done to the Baukis Empire than anything else. So, would you like to talk about the future?

I can't help but talk about how the magic seeds were used, so I'll change the subject to a future story.

Sophie has been dealing with Foreign Minister Nukakai for a long time.

"Yes, we can do that as well. Anything, you want to try the S-class dungeon in the temple of Yampani?

"Yes, we want to try with our people. Here, is it possible to challenge the strategy of the dungeon?

Thus, Sophie shows the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Nukai the "S-Class Dungeon Invitation" she received from a cube-shaped object named the Dungeon Control System for S-Class Dungeons.

The temple of Yampani is a place dedicated to Digragni, a dungeon master believed by the Dwarves of the Baukis Empire.

I have already asked you to let me attack, but the Minister for Foreign Affairs has come, so I made another request.

"Indeed, that is definitely an invitation. There's no reason to turn down the challenger that Master DiGragni invited."

(Oh, you make me try normally?

The Dwarves of the Baukis Empire seem to believe that it is the will of Digragni, although it is an invitation given to a cubed object within the Class A dungeon.

"Thank you for your cooperation"

Sophie turned down the alcohol, so Minister for Foreign Affairs Nukai, who just made it tea, puts his mouth on a sip of tea cup and mouths it as he thinks.

Looks like you're choosing a word.

"However, if it were meant to be, a challenger to the S-class dungeon. We are delighted, but not a place for those in positions like yours to challenge."

"Huh? What does that mean?

"Half of the challengers in the S-class dungeon will die within a year. It's a very dangerous place."

(Ho?

Tension runs to Allen's people in the words, stiffening themselves up.

Being able to challenge an S-level dungeon means he dominated five A-level dungeons.

The fierce from all over the world have won and challenged S-class dungeons, but half of them have died without waiting a year.

"We know it's a dangerous place. But we believe challenges are inevitable in order to fight the Demon King's Army."

"True, because there are many things that are only available in S-class dungeons. Explain the Imperial response to attacking the Dungeon."

With that said, Foreign Minister Nukai will briefly explain the challenge of the S-class dungeon.

Certificates of entitlement will also be issued in the Baukis Empire for challenges to the S-class dungeon.

However, it expires in one year and needs to be renewed the month after it expires.

If no renewal is made and the public authorities such as Magic Boat are not used, a communication indicating that he died in the first six months of his death is to be sent to the respective countries.

In this case, Rosenheim will be contacted about his death.

Such measures are being taken because it is often difficult to confirm the deaths of challengers during the attack on S-class dungeons.

……

Sophie is listening in silence.

I guess that's why the Foreign Minister clearly says things to other princesses that frustrate their willingness to challenge them, because that's how many die.

(If one of you were alive, you wouldn't have to wait six months to make sure he died in the dungeon on purpose.)

Allen thinks that when a party in a dungeon offense has a member who dies, often the party will be wiped out altogether.

"That's it. If you want to hear more about the Tower of Trials, a S-class dungeon, ask the priest who serves Lord DiGragni in the Temple."

"Thank you. By the way, how about about about our friend? I told you that I wanted to attack with you?

"... right"

Foreign Minister Nukai, who had spoken to Perapella so far, clouds his words.

"Maybe something happened to Mr. Merle?

I have heard that the Baukis Empire has won the battle against the Demon King's Army.

But I haven't asked if Merle was safe.

My gaze gathers on Foreign Secretary Nukai wondering if something has happened to Merle.

"No, of course. Merle in our country is safe. We also played an active part in the war. The school decided it was okay to graduate from school, so I also let the school graduate. It's just that His Majesty the Emperor guides Merle with his precious talents."

Foreign Minister Nukakai says His Majesty the Emperor is reluctant to let Merle, with his precious "Demon Rock General" talent, go to a dangerous S-class dungeon.

And not many Dwarves have the talent of "Demon Rock General" even in the entire Bawkis Empire.

It's a rare occupation for every 10 million people.

"So you think it's tough?

"Yes, no. So, as a Bawkiss Empire, we want a lot in return."

(Hmm. Hmm? Could it be that's what you said the dungeon was so dangerous?

Negotiations continued with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, named Nukakai.
