- In a room in a knight's dorm.
……
……
I handed you the "Discussion Digest Truth Which!? 'The look on Cecil and Emma's face as they proceed to read is harsh.
Or when they decided to go to Ilfena, there was only 'demon king wounded/raider seems to be the child of Harvis' spiritual princess' information.
I don't know what to say, but that would have been a simple case. Because all you have to do is retaliate, even though you make it clear that Irfena has nothing to do with it.
...... but now the suspicion is raised as to whether the action itself was the aim.
It's natural to get in trouble. If you target the Demon King and Rudolph in anticipation of natural action, retaliation from this one, you can't act to please the 'true setup'.
That 'delightful action' naturally includes such things as' the elimination of Agnos with blood starches' and 'holding King Harvis accountable'.
Avoid them and aim for the safety zone… and you can only hope for a very slow punishment.
Jianmae said, 'Because Harvis apologized and showed an honest attitude'. There will continue to be a sentence appealing to the hearts of men: 'The princess with the starch of blood, therefore, warmth'.
If that happens, some of the extreme moods, including mine, are like, 'Don't be ridiculous!' A choice.
However, if that is the decision of the country, the Demon King will tell you to 'endure'.
We can't move because the Demon King takes precedence over his country...
This would be unexpected for a setup. Anyway, this time the target is His Highness the 'Um' Demon King. Both the Demon King and the Knight Dormitory Noiko are only going to retaliate.
The lack of information is completely mutual. Because of this, various possibilities have been mentioned.
With that in mind, I turn my gaze to Cecil and the others. And I thought of the people who gathered me here.
I have friends here who will be on my side (= people who are treated like representatives of different countries), so I can prove for sure that there is nothing wrong with the Irfena side. If they bring the information they get here back to their country, they will fly as hard as they criticize Harvis.
But!... that's all, seriously!
If there was a "real setup," giving Harvis some warmth, or showing generosity, would crush that prospect. In a way, this can also be called retaliation.
But, you know, I think people have something they'll never forgive.
That's why it's time for reflection right now. Instead of "Wisdom is worse in nature than strength," let me say, "Wisdom and connections, beyond common sense, turn into disaster"......!
And.
"I", the Magic Master, has made it clear that I am under the command of the Demon King. I can live up to my expectations here and dance to you the way you want. I'll give you that much service.
Who's going to cry? Now is the time to lay low.
I'm obsessed, I'm persistent. Don't try the black cat!
... Well, if Harvis is going to respond honestly, I personally don't have to.
Still, it's also true that you think 'there's no future like that'. Weiss, I heard from you that Harvis' current situation reinforces that suspicion.
This isn't just me, everyone will feel it. Because it's an isolated country, you might not be afraid of what other countries do. Or you need to know what scares you when you piss off another country?
Anyway, Harvis doesn't have the means to twitch and suffer.
If a country is clandestine and bribes anything in its own country, an attack from the trade side would be impossible.
Criticism from each country and if you're not willing to get involved, you'll be able to relay it.
Of course, if you think about the future, that's pretty bad. If you look at it from someone with a sense of crisis, it's not a joke. If anything happens, there's no way to rely on it.
But if I only saw "now," and many royalty/nobility persisted in their attitude of "not wanting to change," I felt like I was going to pay for it.
- Not even a queen can change the temperament of a country. Something that prevented her from moving.
Undoubtedly, the factor is the 'low number of endorsers'. No matter how many kings are absolute, if the majority of nobles are on their side, they cannot be ignored.
I don't really want to say it, but because of these strengths, Harvis feels he can take a strong attitude for it. 'I'm not afraid, even if the other person would be Irfena!' It doesn't seem surprising to say so.
That's it, 'Red light, if we all cross, we're not scared' -typical, collective psychology! Originally, we chose to solidify ourselves, so it would be hard to get anxious if someone else poked us.
- It's just that if you let me tell you, I'll run out of words: 'Look at reality'.
Even if we get into trouble later, there will only be a push for responsibility. Isn't it simply because nobody's willing to take responsibility?
If you are supposed to be responsible, you will also consider the disadvantages of not engaging with each country. If you still choose clan state, that's just their choice.
"I don't know what to say... it's a difficult project to identify."
"Right. In the sense of 'causing no harm to either country', we also see how to settle it. Ilfena can't be questioned unnecessarily and Harvis gets forgiveness for now… but then Mizuki and the people who live in this cavalier dorm won't shut up"
That said, Emma turns her gaze to me. Naturally, affirmation by nodding.
"Honestly, I don't understand."
"Something like this happens?
Inquiring, Cecil shook her neck to the side.
"There's so much going on, I can't read Harvis' thoughts. First of all, it's odd that you're letting those with 'Blood Starch' go wild. Mizuki will not know, but dealing with those with 'blood starches' has become common sense in this world. Because there's a" fact "that you have to."
"Right...... I wondered that too. So there are so many possibilities out there."
"After all, I don't think it's 'possible' from the two of us?
Of course.
"I think most of us would question that."
From both of us, it seems strange how Princess Spirit is treated. No matter how claustrophobic the country is, they're going to say it's impossible to let the wild go.
But that didn't seem to be all Cecil cared about.
"In the first place, if she's being watched properly, that must have happened before this one. I don't know what to say...... I don't feel that there is proper sharing of information between the surroundings of Princess Agnos and the upper levels of the country. If you don't know the dangers of Princess Agnos, it's no wonder you're done with quite a few things."
"Oh, that could have happened..."
It will be the king who decides how she is treated more than Agnos is a princess. But if people in positions such as kings and the upper echelons of the country were not informed of the dangers of Agnos, there would be no sense of crisis.
'Cause it's The Princess Who Has Nothing, Agnos.
Perhaps his mother's home is behind him, but he knows nothing about the power of the princess of Pulling Cage, who is not involved in politics.
Besides, after the death of her nanny, who seemed to have served as a suppressor of Agnos, there is no way that a successor could have been sent in to expect her to work comparable. Absence of the sponsor, so what?
Of course, this is my prediction. But if my mother's home understood how bad Agnos sucked, I'd think I'd do something about it...
"It's also possible that the nanny was telling it quite lightly, isn't it? Looks like he wanted to protect Agnos from the letter he sent to church."
"I don't know how that feels either, but in the end I'm making her a sinner...... Did the nanny properly understand the dangers of 'blood precipitation'? You wouldn't be optimistic if you knew the real examples of the past."
"Is that your idea as a 'samurai vowing allegiance to Princess Celestina'?
"Yes, if Ceres had a 'blood starch'...... I would do whatever I could to deal with it. Of course, even if that was annoying to Ceres. And I'll serve you by the end of the day. It is for the Lord's sake that we take away his freedom. I let go of everything, too, and living together in that cage is called muscle."
I am not lost in Emma, who is so clear. Cecil listening to Emma, who seeped some readiness, and I didn't seem to doubt her readiness.
Emma had a past that came with only one person, Kivera, during Princess Celestina's marriage. She would really act like she said.
Because loyalty to Emma is not about 'being the Lord's speaker and listening to anything', but about 'thinking and acting on what is the best situation for the Lord and taking responsibility for it'.
Instead of complaining, Emma is sure not to get lost, even if it was something that made her guilty of disrespect. It is not you who chooses, but the Lord.
I finished listening to the two of them and I leaned my neck.
"Exactly, I don't think that means you're still optimistic. I was suddenly exposed to reality, so I might not be able to react immediately to Irfena's protest."
If it is true that Cecil said 'we have not been able to share information', this possibility could have been great.
Harvis won't have the kind of friendly country to come in between, even if he wants to make it easier to do so. When this happens, the negotiators are in danger of their lives.
Whatever it is, it's Irfena. It is more wrong to expect a warm response than to have attacked the second prince there.
"The most likely thing for Ilfena to talk to is the royal family... if I may say more, the king himself is going here."
"... Cecil. Hearing what you've been expecting, does King Harvis seem like such a gutsy person? Even if I apologize to the Demon King, I'd be pretty scared if I believed previous rumors."
……
Cecil was silent for a while, troubled.
"You can't. If he could have done that, he would have dealt more fully with Princess Agnos than he did with his ex. In the first place, it doesn't make sense just to come. You have to be able to negotiate with Irfena."
I said something surprisingly spicy. Cecil is also growing a lot, so I guess I see what I need if I replace myself there.
The conclusion I made on the assumption of that was' no '. King Harvis, I see you have no trust at all.
"By the way, does Mizuki have any ideas? As far as I'm concerned, I don't think I'm going to spend a lot of time just thinking about it."
"Oh, 'now' I'm just being an adult?
If you return it without difficulty, Cecil and Emma face to face.
"There's something you're hiding, isn't there?
"So, what's the real deal?
Smile and say, 'Lie, spit!' All I said was, I was questioned. Ooh... my friend, I don't have that much trust!
……
Arukodo, he's hiding it.
I can tell you, nothing. The time I spent with these two is there, too, so I guess I'll figure it out somehow.
In the first place, I was not at all adult when I was turning into a pull rate and escort in my two fugitive lives. When I remembered the deportation back then, I said, 'I'm making a big deal out of you now,' and I don't believe it.
"As Cecil and I can tell you, the point of contact for people coming to Irfena from all over the country is' me '. Well, it would also mean gathering information. This is the time. You know you should use" another reason, "right?
"I guess that is. If you do it badly, it'll look like Irfena plotted it."
"That's why I have to be here now. Of course, I won't just wait. It's a corner, so I'm thinking of getting some AC here. You want a connection, the same goes for Noeko the Knight Dormitory, right? Just a takeover via me, something too unstable."
Or, His Highness Schanze can say that's what it's all about. It's also true that you've moved for the Demon King and me, but I'm not just going home any more than I've come this far with my crippled body.
Even Weiss, if you tell him it's for Sarovara, he'll try to get a connection while he's frightened.
"Even the Cecils can interact with the royalty as a strength." Now, "coincidence overlaps," just gathered here. You don't have a hand in not taking advantage of this opportunity. "
"That's true... but I don't think it's a good idea that I prebuilt the Elshon."
"The demon king wouldn't be mad! He seems to have forgotten, but he's the demon king, the proponent of an inviolable treaty, including Kivera? If you're an idiot who fights for that connection, you can, but if you use it peacefully, you won't say anything."
Essentially, the job request to me via the Demon King is called 'Solving Problems Within My Country That I Can't Deal With'. It's your job because I'm an outsider. When the country is against you, you can borrow it.
But if I can work it out without leaving, that's the best part.
"So, what else? Is that a boon to those who come here, like us? What's Mizuki after?
Cecil seems confident. Same goes for Emma.
I laugh at them.
"... there's no reason to keep your mouth shut, is there?"
"" What?
"So, it is imperative that the negotiations with Irfena become muddy if we stay this way. That is not irfenally pleasing. So... kara! I think it's okay for a magician to go wild. ♪ Boy, I hate you, I hate you to the point! If some of Harvis's poles plotted this, it would be better if we first met with pain 'as a country', and we could discuss it."
If you blame me, I'm not expecting Harvis.
Now Irfena, who has been hurt by his own prince, should move, or it can be said that it is time for friends from other countries mentioned above to make connections.
But when it's over, it's my time. Your familiar fear/'The World's Disaster' seems to terrorize Harvis...!
"For once, Harvis doesn't understand reality unless he gets hurt. I think the years I spent out of interaction are too long and 'I don't know how other countries have grown'. As a precursor to this, what happens if the magician builds a legend of terror on Harvis and says, 'If you want to hear what the demon king and the people who take care of you have to say'?
……
The two, for the time being, are silent.
"Have fear of those who are sincere with the Mage...?
"Besides, that's not just Irfena. Inevitably, you have a sense of 'it's dangerous to set up' against each country. There is something that the Wizard hears honestly."
"Right! That's what I'm after. You think you'll make the perception that 'the nations, including Ilfena, are better than Harvis'. Even if I bring it into negotiations with Harvis in the future, I think I'll have an advantage."
It will take the form that accompanies "Fear of the Magic Instructor," but that's fine now. Something that, if brought to the negotiating table, would know the fears of each country even if it did not like it.
So let us know again… they are the ones who lead the nations. In Ilfena, called the kingdom of the mighty, he said that he had the power to listen only to what the Wizard was recognised as.
But Cecil will look unhappy with my suggestion.
Then I think Mizuki will say something bad.
"Right. But what's wrong with that?
"Huh..."
After admitting it, to me to say it out loud, Cecil loses more words this time.
"What I value is the 'result', Cecil. Whether they call it evil or not, I don't mind at all. 'Cause there's nothing you can do about being a magician in" The Other World "? Then I'll use it backwards."
In fact, it's those two things that get poked a lot. When the word 'civilians' is added there, it will probably lead to the 'whatever you do because you are heretical' idea.
Basically, I mask the situation with the opponent's responsible aim. That's possible... 'It's possible' because a lot of people unconsciously come up with those ideas.
So... I take advantage of it. Because I'm not willing to give in.
"Ha... right? Right, that's what Mizuki was like! Even when they let us escape from Kivera, they also used the word 'kidnap' to make sure Corbella and us had nothing to do with it...!
For a moment, Cecil, who looked like she was about to cry, still smiled bitterly. I guess they don't have any more words to flatter me than they have a past that I was shocked by the benefits of such ideas.
"... until we move not to lose you."
"Emma?"
You perceived the power of dwelling in the voice, and Cecil raised a voice that seemed suspicious. Nevertheless, Emma turns her eyes to teach Cecil.
"Okay, Cecil. We were able to learn Mizuki's plan in advance. And we know that Mizuki will definitely send us out. Then why don't we just move not to lose Mizuki? If Mizuki" uses herself as a starting point and makes Harvis fear the nations, "then you just have to use it. Fortunately, there are many comrades here."
"Huh!"
"What Mizki said is' it's only a plan '. Then you just have to tie it so Harvis can't criticize Mizuki. There will be people here in the upper echelons of each country. And every country must know the value of His Highness Mizki and Elshon. Harvis-like criticism will kick your ass."
I guess it would be the other way to put it, because Emma and Cecil don't have that kind of power themselves. However, it is possible to have a conversation with and negotiate with a being who can make such a decision.
Emma tells Cecil to negotiate with King Corbella and guide him to the desired outcome. Maybe it's a challenge to Cecil, by Emma, who saw Cecil work hard.
... I keep smiling at Emma like that.
These places really are Cecil's 'sister', Emma. I feel like a militant samurai in a bit of a sparta, because I'm basically on Cecil's side.
…… Okay, you're absolutely right. Regardless of Rudolph, Carlosa, a party, would also take Irfena's side. If you talk to the people who come here, they'll come to their countries. "
"It's a suggestion from the direction of 'Do you want to remain cordial with the Mage and His Highness Elshon in the future', so it doesn't mean 'take Irfena's side', does it? Harvis has absolutely no problem poking me. 'Cause it's his country that's not worth taking sides with."
……
Emma seems spicy inside too. Cecil is natural for it, but Emma knows and says it. Something with a good smile.
"In the meantime, don't tell me this story yet. It's awkward when the Demon King finds out."
I think of parents who would definitely come to a halt and laugh bitterly. That was the same for both of us, nodding somewhere fun.
Demon King. This time, not all of us have gathered in this place to guide you. It's also 'my friend'.
He's a 'collaborator' with Irfena, but he can be 'my collaborator' at the same time.
...... so.
Sleep tighter, adults. It's okay! The teacher will be with you, and Al and the others will leave you this time.
