107 Seventeen stories, "Table Jobs."

"The enemy is the Russian Empire. The goal is to stop the Lucetus talks."

At the same time that I was told the word, I saw the whole thing somehow.

"Is the purpose of the Lucian Empire to obtain the Kingdom of Varibal"

"You're still fast and helpful."

Reminds me of what Gran told me before.

The Kingdom of Varibal has been depleted of its national power by the Fourth Wars of the Brave Demons and is likely to be annexed to either the Kingdom of Terraria or the Russian Empire.

And yesterday, the king of the Kingdom of Varibal expressed his willingness to discuss the future of the country with the leaders of the Kingdom of Terraria at the Lusectus talks.

Gran also said, perhaps at the Lusectus talks, the annexation of the Kingdom of Terraria and the Kingdom of Varibal will be discussed. In other words… it is implicit that the Kingdom of Varibal chose the Kingdom of Terraria at the time of the decision that this meeting would take place.

So the Russian Empire is plotting to obstruct it.

Do you simply want to stop the talks, or does stopping the talks catch on to large-scale terrorism? The scale of the operation is unknown, but I could read their aim anyway.

"It is the Lusectus talks that will discuss the annexation of the Kingdom of Terraria and the Kingdom of Varibal. You're going to interfere with the magic festival to stop it."

'Probably so. When it comes to the Magic Competition Festival at Builders School, it's a massive event. Not only students, but also large numbers of guests from the country's heavy towns and from abroad. If there's a big problem there, there's a good chance the talks will be cancelled. Moreover, it is less risky than directly targeting the talks'

Chris is right.

"So we're about to break the magic festival."

Clearly, it was the moment I had reason to fight.

"What's the security posture of the school?

"So far, the Royal Army and several Knights are in charge. Even so, I don't know the details... '

"Don't you see?

I tilt my neck to an ambiguous explanation that doesn't sound like Chris.

"This job is not" back "but" table ". Security for the Lucectus talks and the Magic Competition Festival… To be clear, the Bureau is like the outside world for this one, so I have only given myself the minimum information I need. I'm sorry, but don't expect any support from me '

"... Got it"

The delay in dealing with the intruder didn't seem to be Chris's fault. I guess the military or the Knights are tasked with guarding near the school.

This is how we are talking now because the military, the Knights and other "table" organizations are not helping... maybe there is something going on.

Even the Royal Army is not stupid.

I guess it doesn't just mean you took your enemies away.

"The student council was involved in school security."

"Student Council?

"Yeah, as usual... even though it was a long time ago because it was cancelled last time due to the Wars of the Brave Demons, if it's the same flow as it was then, the Student Council is responsible for the school's security posture."

"Even when it comes to student councils, it would be just students. You have that much power?

'That's all you're good at, and you deserve to be trusted. The Student Council at Builders School'

Chris explains.

"Eusis-Aklein, the head of the Kingsguard Knights, and Braemen-Evans, the deputy head of the regiment, were both student council officers at Builders School. Princess Sophia was going to be in the student council if the war didn't start, and so was Scion the Brave. Since Builders School is a place for children responsible for the future of the kingdom, it is no exaggeration to say that the Student Council is at the head of it. They are promised to be at the top of the country in the near future (...) so the upper echelons can't resist hiring too '

I agree with that explanation.

"I'm familiar with student councils, but I'm not close enough to be able to talk into them, so it's hard to work with them. For the moment, let us work together in a way that handles imperial operatives."

'Okay. I'm also not willing to overlook the issue, even though I have different jurisdictions. There's not much I can do, but if it's as informative as it sounds, I'll take care of it.'

I think it's something with a good boss.

"It's just... it's troublesome when people on the table find out who you are."

Chris told me to whine.

"This one moves on its own, so I might be able to put on a weird obsession when I'm known. Moreover, when it comes to fighting in schools, counterfeiting is also difficult. Hmmm... would it be quicker to give you the title of Knight? '

"Please don't. I want to stay a student for a while."

If the bureau had the power, it wouldn't be as well made, but I won't.

"No counterfeiting required"

'Huh?'

Circumstances requiring counterfeiting. That's when I acted as a "back" person.

I saw a suspicious person. A dude who looked suspicious has been fighting someone.... Leaving such information unattended, a keen man might reach the presence of a bureau or institution. If that's the kingdom's official, it's still fine, but outsiders... especially when agents from other countries know about it, it's troublesome.

If...

"This time act as a student (...). I do not use any of the techniques cultivated in the engine, nor do I use BF28. Then you won't get suspicious."

Tell Chris what this is all about.

"The intruders are in school in the first place. It would also be natural for students in the school to notice it and think about dealing with it"

'It's... sure it is, but is it possible?

"Oh. I got the moves right for that"

I say it remembering what Dr. Sylphia taught me.

"By the time the competition festival started, I just wanted to give it a try once in action. Just fine."

'... you'll be fine because it's about you, but don't be alarmed'

"I know."

At the same time as I answered that, a suspicious shadow passed my sight.

"Initiate action. If you need anything, I'll let you know."

"Yeah. Careful."

I followed an Imperial operative after listening to Chris, whose tone was just a little softer than before.
