321 They had romance there.

"I figured I'd have to remove the merging function."

When Frau, sitting on the top of the long table, speaks so with dignity and confidence, the technician-like people and elves sitting side by side in the lower seat hold their heads together.

"We're currently working on a deformation connection that will allow us to combine all four destroyer class ships with each other."

It was Frau speaking as if that was a great and good idea, but there is no opinion coming from around to endorse it.

"No, are you?

In the place where all silence reigned, he pinched his mouth as Meyria, sitting near it, drifted something slightly sinister in its face, to Frau, who would lean his neck so much.

"And what does that mean?

"You'll be able to use the Magic Pool for four destroyers and one battleship!

He was Flau, who let him flutter on the chair just wondering if he had come, but when he heard the next Meilia's words, he would almost flip straight into the back of each chair.

"Then shouldn't we be integrated from the start?

"Sister Meyria, what are you talking about..."

Having managed to regain his balance and only avoided being hit by a backdrop on the chair, Frau looks at Meyria from a slightly front-loaded position and hands on the edge of the table.

Meyria, who took such a clear look at Frau's gaze with her face, by a further word drove Frau down onto the table.

"In the first place, what is a destroyer?

"You know a battleship, you don't know a destroyer or something. Too much knowledge is drilled!

"It's a ship to fight, so it's a battleship, right? Does that mean that a ship to destroy from its name would be a destroyer? But it's for fighting both, isn't it? Shouldn't they both be called battleships?

"Do we have to talk from there?

Lotus Yaya, who was sitting in the corner of the room with a seat in the corner as a watchman of the day, responding to Frau with a sober look and voice, has feelings close to praise for his hand, not knowing who has fought him with those hands.

Meyria is educated to be the next Grand Duke of Triden, and as Lotus Ya, she feels sorry to compare, but she has a lot of understanding and memory compared to her sister, Theon.

Then he was highly knowledgeable, and he didn't have the personality to go about things without knowing what he didn't know.

What would happen if such a Meiria were to be included as a prospective Battleship Development Member?

So the answer is now being rolled out in front of Lianya.

"There are many differences between battleships and destroyers, but mostly between the presence of armor and the type of armor."

"Is that, in other words, the understanding that the use of the ship is different in itself?

"I think it fits."

"So what does it mean to merge ships with different uses?

If Frau's opponent was Scion, a difficult matter to understand is the kind of conversation that might have ended, thinking that there would be no problem with something that would somehow be acceptable or somewhat deviant if left to Frau.

Or even if Theon had doubts about a few matters, he must have just gone ahead with the conversation by obtaining only the fact that he gave a brief explanation, thinking that he would probably not understand even half of what he had tried to explain at Frau's.

"Sister Meyria, there is a human romance in the merger."

"Will the battle work with that romance?

This changes the story when Meilia becomes the opponent.

Because of his high level of understanding, he understands Frau's explanation to some extent.

On top of that, I bump into questions about things I don't know or understand.

If Frau's is also a story that the other person doesn't understand at all, he may have appropriately clouded the story or omitted the explanation itself, but the anomalies that will be understood cannot be appropriately interpreted.

As a result, Frau will spend his time explaining to Meilia, which means that the presence of Meilia works as a deterrent by stopping Frau from proceeding as he pleases.

Although Meyria is nominally a face-to-face nominee such as the Grand Duke, Emperor and Queen who are funding this story, as far as her interaction with Flau is concerned, it was clear that she would have been sent in to stop the rampage.

"By and large, there is only one Lenya as a source of magic. But how are you going to build as many as five ships?

"It was meant to build a magic path between each ship, to make it work as a magic circuit centered on the back feather."

"Waste, right?

"Isn't that a waste? Due to its structure and armament, Okuba lacks anti-aircraft and ground-to-ground capabilities. We can't keep doing this, so we need a ship to make it up to us."

Meyria relentlessly puts the point in the reasoning that even oddly emerges as if she had prepared until that answer, anticipating what would be said.

"Then I suggest creating a smaller, more maneuverable aircraft. If it's an immediate, immediate support purpose for Okuba, isn't it enough to accommodate a few objects that can be flown in a short time using demonic stones?

"Didn't Sister Meyria suggest an air battleship!?

"As for another proposal, if it is possible to have more than one dragon cavalry, I think it would be more cost-effective to use this, too, what do you think?

"They even added fantasy flavors!?

Given the increase in decks for launch ships, Lianya thinks it would be more helpful to ask for the cooperation of the dragons, as Meilia put it, both in terms of the space of the ship itself and in terms of construction costs.

If there is a problem, Lotus Yai thinks that even when Liaris, who is currently only one dragon cavalry, appears, if he does something that makes a fuss there, he can't imagine how much noise it will cause, and whether cooperation from the dragons will be gained at the level that a cavalry can be mounted on his back, but none of this will be enough of a problem to solve.

"If I had to, I would estimate how cost-effective it would be?

"It's awesome..."

The more Flau bites his teeth, the more motivated Meyria is.

There was actually a reason for this, and that was because, while Meyria was dealing with Frau on this matter, there was an exchange of promises that there would be a full backup from the two forces, the people and the elves, with regard to the various administrative processes occurring in the Count Knugi territory.

This was a covenant exchanged between Meyria, the Grand Duke and the Emperor, which neither Frau nor Lotus Ya were informed of, but it is a condition too exciting for Meyria, who, depending on the outcome, has been promised continuing support even after the fact, which would take the form of a significant reduction in the burden.

"Frau's twisted."

"May's serious."

It was Emil and Zion sitting on Lianya's left and right side watching the situation that said that sentiment.

Theon's kind of came with Lianya, but as for Emil, he was supposed to have to be sitting somewhere at the table where Frau and the others were sitting.

That's why I'm doing a bystander in the corner of the room with Lian Mita.

"It's going to take a lot of work because I'm going to take an acceptance and then I'm going to try to get things going. Shut up and we'll talk fast."

"Emil, that's the same method as the Grand Dukes, isn't it?

"I think it was a small thing before it mattered."

It was Lianya I meant to say with the nuance to stop because it was an act that offended the mood on the side that was hit, but it didn't make much sense to Emil.

If this was due to Emil being a Demon, Lianya blurred to wonder if the Grand Duke's idea of things would mean a Demon Clan, but he is immediately drawn back to reality by the feeling of being stuck on its flank.

"By the way, Lenya? I pinched it in my little ear a little bit, didn't I?

For some reason he grins with a hazy grin, and then he frowns at Emil whispering in a whisper about what the hell Lianya intends to say ahead of him.

Leaving Lotus Ya's hunch intact that I'm sure it's not a lot of things, Emil has dropped bombs that she can't imagine because of her low voice.

"Have you finished choosing who you're engaged to?

"buddy!? More on that story."

Even though he said he was pinching one Lianya, Shion, who heard the words in his ears, is pushed back by Lianya, who is in between, in an attempt to lean towards Emil over Lianya.

"Lenya!? Now the story is very important…"

"You're supposed to be listening too...... you're not listening? Or do you just not remember? The Grand Duke said he had his word for it."

"Heh? Ah? Oh, yeah, I remember. Yeah, I remember."

It was Zion, who gave him a decent look for a moment, but after he told me, he would scowl and snort at me to find out if he had somehow remembered that.

If I had been completely forgotten here, I would have been Lianya who thought I was being serious about it there at all, but when it came to seeming like Zion, I could say that it seemed like Zion, so I decided to avoid pursuing it further.

"So as for Lenya, did you come to a conclusion?

Meaningly, it is Emil who has pursued it.

The emotions on that look weren't just of interest, but Lianya enjoyed it all the while being driven by the temptation to unwittingly keep Emil quiet in the exercise of her powers.

Because Zion, who is up to one of the candidates for that issue, is right next door, in the middle of paying attention to Lianya's words and actions.

In that context, if Lianya imitated Emil to silence him in exercising his powers, he could not have predicted that this would be the case in general about how Zion would take the act, but it seemed unlikely that he would at least be taken for a delusion caused by the violence of quotes in difficulty in responding.

If so, Lianya returned the answer to Emil's query, taking care not to disturb her voice as much as possible.

"I'm still working on it."

"Is it unusual for Lenya? Am I going to look away after all?

"It's not like that. It wouldn't be easy to decide, would it?

I felt like I was being provoked and I didn't feel very funny Lotus Ya, but if you think about it, Emil, who asks such a question, is one of those people who says and acts like he cares about Lotus Ya.

If you make this seem like a provocation, make a mental shake, and wonder if you're trying to read some information from it, it calms you down to reject it.

"It's a once in a lifetime story. Think of it like me."

"It's serious. I'm not talking about gambling with nothing on your own, so you can choose it appropriately."

To Emil, who comes to tear, Lianya asks with an extremely serious look when her voice is just a little lower.

"You want me to choose myself?

"Damn, that's not... that's not... that this time... choosing from the Principality of Triden was supposed to be a story, and I shouldn't have anything to do with it, right?

The effect was on the surface, Emil wandered visibly.

In many ways. In this way, Emil's reaction, whose face turns bright red while twisting out the words, is very rare and fresh, whether from Lianya or Shion, and we both accidentally stare seriously at Emil's face, and that again deepens Emil's degree of confusion.

"Hey, why does that happen? Or do you two have something on my face? Dude, why are you smiling like that...... can Lenya stop pointing that raw warm gaze this way too?

It was Emil who had returned words to Lianya and Zion, but if you look at the table where the discussion had been held until earlier, your expression freezes when you know that all the majesty of the gaze of the participants in that meeting is poured on you.

Master, I'm sorry to hear you're here.

Frau, wrinkled between his eyebrows, turns to Lianya with an alternating view of Emil, who is losing his word because of his wolf's excess, and Zion, who keeps staring at Emil with such warm eyes.

"I don't really want to say this, but all the technicians here are people who can't get home much or don't have a home to put into research"

To Frau's words, which speak pale, some technician really holds his chest down and falls on the table, as if his chest had been pierced with something like a blade.

The spiritual damage they would have taken will be considerable, which is somehow understandable to Lianya, who is worried about whether they will come back to life properly after all, but Flau keeps on saying things like that.

"Near such a gathering of people, it's poisonous to the eyes when you're left in a state of luxury on both hands."

I almost apologized when I was told, but I felt that apologizing here was something different, so I ran through the words of apology that came out of my throat and shoved them back into my throat.

At least it wasn't supposed to be a development like Frau, but as far as the look on the faces of the technicians looking at themselves, it soon became clear that they saw how Lianya herself felt, again as another story, the way Frau said it was.

Then there is only one action that seems to be possible here, Lianya stood up from the seat where she was sitting and urged both of her left and right sides to stand up with her gaze.

Theon lightly, Emil was slightly slow to react to see if he had been able to get out of the mess yet, but still got up properly, then Lianya still speaks to Frau.

"Looks like we should disperse."

"I'll put the report up later."

Lianya nodded back to Flau's reply and left the room where the meeting was taking place with her, Theon and Emil.

There wasn't a particular Ate to go to, but in addition to getting in the way of the technicians, Lianya, who thought they weren't going to be able to stand their gaze, leaves slightly early according to something like an intuition that she should leave the scene as soon as possible.

Those technicians who dropped off Lotus Mita's back eventually turned their ears to a number of suggestions that would make them want to hold their heads again if they turned their cursory gaze back from the entrance and exit of the room where Lotus Mita left to Flau sitting in the upper seat.
