The only thing that was ahead, which Mr. Shall showed me on my way, was the mansion in the valley, which I think I brought as it was from the previous world.

It was Roberto Bergman, the Chancellor of this Kurt Melga kingdom, who waited in that mansion. And it was an elf girl who came quietly into the reception room she was put through.

"Well, I see you've brought some tea too. Time to get started."

Ashley, who received a basin and a sudden sushi from Mr. Shall, pours tea around everyone in this reception room. Seeing that, Chancellor Bergman started talking.

"I received a confidential report from Ashley Zepernell that you were working with the Pirate Fleet" Kaito (Kaido) "crusade in the marine city of Amar. Is that for sure?

"Ha, Prime Minister. I knew it was unsolicited behavior, but I was on my own to help Lord Ashley Zepernell move ahead."

"Hmm. I'm curious how you were sailing the ocean alone, but let me start by thanking you. Then I'd like to hear about the transfer magic team you recovered at the home of Kaito. You jumped ahead with the transfer magic team, are you sure about that?

"Ha, I don't know the exact location where I jumped ahead, but I think the predictions from my personal research suggest that it's in the northern part of Wangdu, in the mountains further north of the Dragrange Borderland Bergkok"

"Then it is the Kingdom of Drake that is behind the tsubaki. - No, Mr. Schwartz, let's get one thing clear. First of all, with regard to the ownership of the Transfer Magic Regiment, the ownership of the Transfer Magic Regiment recovered within its territory, not only in the Kingdom of Kurtomerga, but also in other countries, belongs to that State. But the home location you recovered is a place that no country recognizes as an island, not a territory of any country. In other words, no country can claim ownership of that forwarding magic formation, and it will be yours to collect."

Ho......, thanks for that. It turns out it could be used as a means to fly to the VMB's personal room, but I thought this transfer and simulation magic formations would be ceded to the Kurt Melga kingdom. I thought it would be necessary to infiltrate another country and crusade in secrecy in order to get a magic formation dedicated to me, or for the state to crusade in search of an undiscovered labyrinth. I really appreciate that the hassle will go away.

"So first, let me investigate your forwarding and modeling magic formations."

"Is that an investigation?

"Well, the technology to adjust the transfer magic formations recovered from the labyrinth so that they can be used in nature to create the simulated magic formations that will be destined for transfer is top-secret and varies from state to state. Find out if the Drake Kingdom is involved or not."

I see, if you look into the magic formations, you can see which countries were involved, and only because you know the art of the Kingdom of Drake, so you can light it up...

"Of course I'll give you a reward. As it stands, the moment the enclosure magic of the magic formation is broken and your connection to the mock magic formation is broken, you may be connected to the mock magic formation located elsewhere. That'll give us a clue as to where we're going. If the possibility of a trap and the means of return are unclear, we can do it."

I didn't know what rules the transfer and simulation magic formations were connected to, but according to Prime Minister Bergman's story, when the magic of the spatial attributes consumed each time they were transferred was interrupted, they would be connected to the simulation magic formations emitting magic elsewhere.

They say there's nothing like being interrupted from the side unless the magic power goes to zero or the mock magic formation is damaged and inoperable, but I've never been over there to prepare for an accident.

The reward prepared by the Chancellor was to erase the transfer technology of other countries, which would become inoperable in the course of the investigation, and to operably override the magic formation with the transfer technology of the Kingdom of Kurtomerga.

To be clear, we are unlikely to be able to reject this proposal, and there is no reason to refuse it. If I own the transfer magic team, I'd better have it adjusted for easier use.

"I understand. We'll take care of the transfer magic team and the simulation magic team."

"Thank you for taking the time to reconcile the investigation and the transfer magic team. And there's a king's festival starting tomorrow, so let's just say a few more days."

"Yes, sir."

"Mm-hmm. I'll leave it to Ashley Zepernell for later interviews about the sea turtles, okay?"

"Yes, Chancellor Bergman"

"Then Noon returns to the office. I asked for the rest..."

Chancellor Bergman, who stood up with that said, sat quietly in the corner of the room with Chirali, gazing only for a moment at the elf toddler, who was silently sipping tea.

I get up, too, and I drop Chancellor Bergman off from the reception room. As I walked down the hallway, dropping off that back and glancing back into the reception room, an elf toddler was looking at me jizzily.

"Ah-chan, go to Charles and ask him to prepare a meal."

"... awed"

"I want you to line up in the living room, including for this girl. I'll be there when I'm ready, just like I'm waiting."

"... Yes"

Ashley and her gaze overlap as she leaves the reception room. What are those eyes and expressions complaining to me about? What I felt was an unspoken sense of trust from Ashley.

Ashley's eyes say I can believe it.

"In time, did you call your name Schwartz Powder? Sit down. Let's get down to business."

The toddler elf carries Totetote and the seat he was sitting in, forming himself in the upper seat. When I saw it, I went back to my seat and sat in front of the toddler elf.

"The Kingdom of Kurt Merga, Zeppanel of the Eternal Chancellor of Honor."

- My name is Schwartz Powder.

I had such a hunch from the beginning. Ashley and the others should have been ordered not by Chancellor Bergman, but by Chancellor Zepernell Eternal Honor to crusade the pirate fleet "Haitang," and it should have been for that report that they are coming to Wang Capital.

Chancellor Bergman, who has responded so far, was only here in his handling of the Transfer Magic Formation, then it should have been better elsewhere. It doesn't have to be this mansion built in the corner of the royal castle on purpose. Plus, you shouldn't have had to show me the mansion in the rubble that was built to keep people away.

I mean, apart from the transfer magic team, I guess what I've been brought here for is to show you a heterogeneous, tiled mansion as this otherworldly building. Then what is the reason...?

"Aren't you surprised to hear the concubine is the prime minister?

"I had a better feeling about that than when I was in this room."

"Of a toddler, do you believe that too when you hear a woman is the prime minister?

"I'm surprised, but I'm also convinced. Zeppernel Eternal Honorary Chancellor is only a surname and his first name is not widespread. As soon as you hear her name, you'll realize she's a woman. In addition, we have been withdrawn from the front line, and there has been a considerable reduction in the number of people who have seen you? When I first heard the Prime Minister's name, I thought he was a man."

"Is that all you deserve to believe?

"I don't know, according to those who ask, some of you won't believe it. Still, I believe in you in front of me. I believe Ashley more than that."

"Ho, did Ah-chan say anything about the concubine?

"No, nothing. But I felt it earlier when I left the room"

"Ho! Finally, spring is here for Ar!

"Is that spring?

"Well, now you leave that. Indeed, the concubine devotes herself to this Kurt Melga kingdom as the Eternal Honorary Chancellor. Try not to disrupt the reign of that era as much as you can, and not to disrupt the nation-building of the Founding King."

"I haven't been in this country long, but I feel it's a wonderful country."

"Yes, it is. I didn't call you to hear that."

"- What's that?

"Where did you come from then?

The moment I mouthed the question, the gray hair of the toddler elf in front of me increased more radiance, and my jade eyes spotted me sharply.

I don't know what the clarity is, but I sensed from the tremor of the air that there was a great magical power overflowing around the prime minister. The air that does not allow it to be deluded dominates the reception room.

"I know what you mean -"

"Do you know what 'exorcism' really means? I'm talking about someone who's been through different worlds. He who walks through a narrow world among many worlds, unjustly falls out, and that is" unjustly falling out. "
