>Day 2.

"I would like to begin today's agenda with the ."

The chairwoman of the conference, the Empress Shoro, declares.

True to her word, the Shoro Empire makes a formal announcement first.

"First of all, Mayas Kurdam von Skira, please.

And now...

The Minister of the Shoro Empire, Marjas Kuldam von Skira, began his speech.

"In our country, there is the Hariri Desert in the west, and a different ethnic group lives further west.

This is what is known.

We, as neighboring countries, have established diplomatic relations with them on January 12 this year.

A stirring response spreads through the conference hall.

Official diplomatic relations?

At last!

However, the fact that we had already announced last year that we had established temporary diplomatic relations through the Manaphone was not a surprise. I am not surprised.

We also understood that the past will to invade was a misunderstanding.

"Yes. < does not have a . Instead, it has ......."

The emperor explains the political form of Mitsuho. The crowd listened attentively.

"I see, so this is exactly the way the is running the country.

"But, in case of emergency, isn't it sometimes too late to make a decision by holding a meeting?"

Prince Arthur, one of the representatives of the Klein Kingdom, spoke up. This is a very sharp opinion.

"It seems that the has a certain amount of authority for this purpose."

"I see."

But I don't think we have to follow suit.

"I see. Our political system has a long history. ......

"We can improve it by adopting what is good and not adopting what is bad. ......

A number of opinions were exchanged on the form of governance.

The chairwoman, Empress Shoro, stopped the exchange of opinions at an appropriate point.

She said, "I appreciate your active opinions, but let's move on now.

She was originally introducing Mitsuho.

"If possible, we would like to invite the Emir of Mitsuho, Mr. Hiro Mutu, to the next .

The Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications continued.

"No problem.

"I would rather welcome him.

The result of the meeting seemed to be generally favorable to the participants.

This was also to Jin's satisfaction.

However, he thought it would be necessary to meet Hiro Mutu again and tell him to pretend to be a first-time visitor when he saw Jin's face.

But....

(No, if we're talking about official diplomatic relations, I can visit him alone. ...... Yes, let's do that.)

Jin had a better idea, and he made a mental note of it.

The next presentation came from the Kingdom of Selroa.

The speaker was the King, Cesar Valois de Cerroa.

I have good news from my country.

The people in the pews looked at each other, wondering what was going on, but he knew just when to say it,

"We have finally succeeded in reproducing the Warp Gate!

He made a bombshell declaration.

What?

The Warp Gate!

That's it!

The leaders of the world were astonished.

"Many of you may remember that there was a warp gate in the basement during the commemorative ceremony. We analyzed it very carefully."

Jin thought that the Kingdom of Celuloa, with its advanced magical engineering, must have been able to do this.

"However, there are still many problems.

Cesar waited for the noise to die down and continued his explanation.

"First of all, it consumes a large amount of mana. Even so, only two people can be transferred.

"Still, that's a great improvement, isn't it?

Someone said.

"It still is. The distance that can be transferred is limited, currently 200 kilometers at most.

"Why don't you just keep improving?"

"Of course. When it is completed, it will be a great contribution to the world.

"Why don't you ask for the help of the Lords Jin and Machina?"

Lotharus de Lafayette, King of the Kingdom of Franz, spoke up.

"We have thought about that," said Lotharus de Lafayette. But for the time being, let us do it on our own.

He wants to do as much as he can in the country where he discovered it. Since I understand his sentiments, I did not make any further comments.

"But I am very much looking forward to it."

The chairperson of the meeting, the Empress Shoro, concluded.

* * * * * * * * * *

The third presentation was by the Kingdom of Franz.

"Well, you see, ...... we had a domestic debate about what we should do because it would bring shame to our country."

He began in a strange way.

"Since this is a problem for the whole of humanity, we decided to present it here."

Everyone was curious as to what he was going to say.

"It was the summer of 3457. The king at that time was Rijohn de Barkly. ......"

Jin had an idea what had happened.

There was a people from the north. ...... No, let's be clear, they were ."

"What?

The demon tribe?

Demon tribe?

The place was in an uproar for a moment.

It's no wonder. 300 years ago they fought a war for their very existence.

"...... Quiet!　Let's hear what you have to say first.

"It all started when two demons came to a town called Enak in the north.

They were a young man and a young woman, one of whom was a demoness,

<

The current King Rottero explained that he had said these words.

This is in line with what Jin heard from Catherine de Lafayette, the mother of the current king.

Without a second thought, the Enak deputy, Kutaga Akhtar, pretended to welcome them and poisoned them.

"The two men were killed during the convoy. It is said that this was the work of a faction that hates the demon tribe."

"......"

"......"

Hearing the end, those in attendance seemed speechless.

AC...... how did the attendees of the <> feel about the fact that they were tricked, captured, and even murdered simply for being <> when they had come here to at least discuss the matter?

"It is a pity, isn't it?

The brief words uttered by the chairperson, the female emperor, were filled with deep emotion, which was felt by everyone in attendance.
