61 Episode 48: Response

The day of the meeting between the Heads of State of Von Caven and Minogoula.

Antherise, Mayor of Dragon Tan, watched quietly across the horizon in front of the Dragon Tan's entrance gate to welcome guests, including Ira-Tact, the King of Doom.

(Ugh, I want to go home... no, this is where I go first. I'd rather die somewhere than go back to El Nur.)

The mission entrusted to Anterise was to welcome the Ira-Tact and other Minogula groups and guide them to the city hall, which is the venue of this meeting.

Although Pepe and Tonukapoli are well prepared to conduct the main negotiations in the city hall, she is also asked to attend as mayor of the city, and the heavy burden on her is immeasurable.

Even at this time, it is already painful, and my stomach tingles and aches when I think about the events that will happen from now on.

Normally, she drinks alcohol and deceives, but of course she can't do such rudeness, and now she just turns into a poor daughter who hopes to the Spirit that today's day will pass safely and peacefully.

And the spirits that should pray are fleeing first, foreseeing what will happen in this land from now on.

As soon as the transfer of the Dragon Tan had been decided, there was no doubt that her wish for peace and security would be fulfilled.

(You won't get eaten, will you? I've had several meetings with Mr Atou and Mr Mortar... well, the level is different.)

It does not mean that Antherise is not completely immune to the inhabitants of Minogula.

I have already had many interactions with key positions such as Old Mortar and Atu, and I intend to understand some countries and their people.

No, that's why I have the utmost vigilance and tension about this visit to Ira-Tact.

The king they speak of was so enormous and beyond human imagination....

It's a place of truth, Antherise! As mayor of this city, we must respond with disrespect! Hey, if you cut through here, Pepe and Tonukapoli will take over, so be patient!

The transfer of the Dragon Tan will almost be effected. Even with Anterise's eyes, Von Caven can't afford it so far.

It will be up to the negotiations to decide what kind of response will be given to the people living here, but at least in view of the current bilateral relationship, we do not expect to be treated badly.

Antherise thinks in the middle of tension.

If the Dragon Tan is going to be Minogula's City of Ownership, it is inevitable that you will be the Mayor of the City.

I do not intend to go back to El-Nar, the state of the elves, nor will I be able to.

What should I do next?

It was such a moment of anxiety and loneliness.

"Ah, ah, ahh...."

It was a strange voice leaking from the watchtower that broke the cold silence.

As I glanced at you, the soldier who spoke a few days ago changed his blood phase and pointed across the horizon.

Here they come.

Regardless of what happened, I quickly understood the reason for the upset the soldiers showed.

"I saw you over there! It's the direction of the great curse!!

Switch your thoughts and tighten your feelings.

The great curse reaches the corner of the eye.

That's where you'll see a group of Minogulas.

... powdery.

It was a small group at first glance.

Of course, because of the distance, it just looks like that, and the actual scale is still only blurry.

At least it's the right number for the king to take.

But numbers were completely meaningless at this moment.

Antherise, staring at a group of Minogulas in front of the gate, did see the enormous pressure of darkness blowing from some group to the sky at this moment.

(Oh, I can't do this....)

Nothingness that might even shut your mouth dominates Antherise.

First time feeling. No, it's too big, but I'm afraid I might be delusional about something I don't know.

I think Antherise felt it.

"Death."

Oddly enough, it was the emotion of all who confirmed the king's party on the spot.

In tension dominated by chilly fears, the closed gates slowly open and a huge flag rises from the sentry podium as a sign of welcome.

It was fortune that each of them instructed in advance what to do.

Rather, should we praise the courage of the Dragon Tan soldiers who have shown themselves to do their part in this situation?

As everyone stares at just one point without hiding their frightened faces, time progresses slowly.

Eventually, the group of stone grains became so small that it became clear who the opponent was.

A generation of mindfulness has finally arrived in Antherise's life.

(Calm down, me. It may take some time, but you must not show only unusual behavior)

Wow, take a deep breath and look at the other person.

A group led by the king of Minogula slowly stops walking in front of Antherise.

I have already understood in previous exchanges that the other person does not like to interact with me admirably.

That said, it is a country to country exchange. A minimum formalized greeting would be necessary.

I mean, I'm waiting for Von Caven to respond.

Antherise slowly, but quickly confirms the men who follow the King.

There were more Minogulas than I thought.

Dark Elves, of course, and many other costumes to try out for the first time.

Something like a giant wagon continues from behind.

Was it true that the dragging animal was not a horse, but a giant worm that emitted strange noises that the King of Stone Doom led?

Regardless, this degree is still unexpected.

The question is, what kind of people are coming?

The first thing you'll see is old Mortar, the former head of the Dark Elf clan.

He is currently in the position of so-called chief of staff and prime minister in Minogula and is the most knowledgeable in politics.

At the same time, they are entrusted with the supervision of magic organizations in this country, and there are aspects of being magicians who are studying dark secret magic day and night that they cannot imagine.

Once famous for his Dark Elf assassination, the two names were the Wise Cursed Men.

Instead of the favorite attitude of the grandfather who smiles brightly in front of his eyes, the dangers inside are immeasurable.

Then the head of the military division, the so-called Warrior Gear, plays a general role.

Its harsh and merciless character has been famous since Antherise was in his hometown, and it is said that it is no longer ridiculous to count those in his hands.

Two are assassins. Its skill and loyalty are now dedicated only to the King of Doom.

On both sides of the king, the two of them are the Elfur sisters, who refrain from being served as maids.

It is rumored that the King himself is educating talented girls as a major town in the Minogula period.

I have exchanged letters several times in the exchange of goods with Minogula, but my eyes are much darker and cloudier than the feeling of frustration from the text, which makes me feel creepy.

Finally, the King is proud of his heart.

Unlike the Dark Elves, who are fundamentally different in origin and manner, she lies quietly beside the King.

There is little to tell about her.

The fact that she has absolute trust in King Minogula, with powers beyond her human intelligence, and that she is equally trusted by the King, has been made to be understandable in previous exchanges.

It is almost impossible to understand that a girl who stands out for beauty is a powerful force that Minogula boasts.

But it is clear that if she were serious, all the people in Von Caven would be killed in an instant.

Hearing all the information in the previous war that the Von Caven side had, Antherise breathed that the presence in front of him was indeed the presence of darkness.

And above all,

Ah, if that's the case, her presence to accompany... the opponent is...

Antherise forcibly moves his trembling body and turns his gaze toward the sole.

King of Doom. Ira-Tact.

Sole was like a friend who came for a walk to the neighborhood.

He stood there quietly.

(This is... the King of Doom)

The king's rise was a little strange.

It is not particularly cold, but wears something like a robe with a luxurious design from the head, as if it were hidden.

You can't look at your complexion or mood with this.

I think so, I stare at my face without being rude.

... there was nothing and eyes lurking behind the robe.

"Hyi!

Unexpectedly, my voice leaked and I rushed to close my mouth with my hands.

Your body is overflowing with cold sweat like a waterfall, and your heartbeat goes up to an interesting level.

It's such an unbelievable gaze that you can be stared at from outside the reason of the world, as if you can see everything about yourself.

In an instant, it will tie Antherise's heart with fear and drag him into the depths of hell.

The moment I felt that my heart would stop with shock, the king's gaze slipped out of Antherise's eyes.

"Haah... haah..."

I saved my life. Antherise is so convinced with his breath.

The king's gaze slightly diverted from his eyes, staring at himself with nothing that made him feel alive.

I don't know why Atou next door is whispering to the King with a grumpy expression, but I somehow realized that he wouldn't be uncomfortable with me at least.

Rather, the King's attitude was the opposite of her expectations.

She is smart enough to understand her attitude.

The King of Doom took care of us and not to atrophy himself with fear.

Without pointing out that you would have heard the screams earlier, it is also because the King himself is out of sight and staring at Antherise's chest.

Wearing a robe to expose yourself to the crowd and not provoke fear?

It is not just a disaster that wants to destroy, but at least has reason to be considerate of its allies.

― ― Antherise thanked the state of Minogoula for being an ally of Von Caven.

At the same time, I raise my resentment from the bottom of my heart at the fact that the state of Minogula is an ally of Von Caven.

(Pepe and Tonukapori really understood and formed an alliance with this bug!? It's not like people can go out with each other! Seriously, I don't know what to do!!

Antherise inadvertently shouted at me as if I was seeing this upset in my heart.

I was afraid that I might really be listening to the voice of my heart, but more than that, I felt like it was going to explode into overwhelming irrationality.

By that time, contact with the king shocked her mind.

However, as absurd as it is to say that giant elephants pay attention to ants and visit their dwellings, it is impossible to make a safe and peaceful visit to the dwarf dwellings where the existence at the root of the destruction will be.

I would say that her upset and confusion were by no means inevitable.

(Calm down, Antherise. The other party is taking care of us. It's okay, it's okay. You haven't made any mistakes yet)

Fortunately, many residents had left the city at this point.

Nowadays, in the city of Dragon Tan, a ban on going out has been imposed as a city long order.

Originally, citizens should be welcome to visit the other country, but there's no room for that.

This decision was correct.

With all due respect, Antherise is taking this action.

If her predictions and the information from Tonukapori are correct, the citizens of Dragon Tan will not be able to stand the king's sight.

Of course, I told the other party about it.

As an explanation, I have prepared another repair, but the answer from the other party was a pleasant one.

Even though it was judged uncomfortable or not strange to deal with it, the practitioner who contacted us on the contrary, Mr. Mortar, has even sent us words that take into account the situation on this side.

If you honestly accept only that thoughts and considerations, it will be a novel that expresses the friendship between Von Caven and Minogula, but the well-thought-out care now becomes a disgusting disgust and sticks deep inside your chest.

(I can't keep quiet anymore. Have the soldiers... calmed down a little?

It is an event that lasts less than a minute in time.

Shortly thereafter, after a lifetime of fear, anxiety and confusion, Antherise took a big breath and bowed to himself, which was by far the best.

"The great leader of Minogula, King Ira-Tact. And everyone in Minogula. Welcome to Dragon Tan City. My name is Antherise-Antique and I am the city mayor of this dragon tang. We would like to extend a heartfelt welcome to all of you in our city."

A gentle smile is an enchantment learned over the course of a lifetime.

Since becoming a city mayor, I haven't had the opportunity to use it for the hard work, but apparently my arms aren't rusty.

From here on, a response that you can never fail begins.

"- Yeah, thanks."

Oh, the invitation to doom sounds like this.

Antherise's chest is stirred with crazy nails named fear.

I'm sure the upcoming meeting will be full of confusion and chaos many times as many times as I imagine.

It's like nothing without a mind.

What will Ira-Tact, the King of Doom, seek and offer for consideration at this meeting?

The anxiety and discomfort in Antherise's chest are different from the fear.

Hopefully, it will end without anyone crying.

The talks between the two countries began so that her petty wishes could not be overestimated.
