The man who came down from the golem car seemed to know Gaju Tsuga,

"Welcome to the party, Mr. Tsuga," he said to me in a friendly manner.

Gaju Tsuga responded in a friendly manner. Gaju Tsuga responded.

It has been a long time, Mr. Sumi.

The two shake hands. Gaju Tsuga then turned to Fiona Fierce and Manon,

"This is Yahal Soumi. He is a diplomat of the Principality of Mimaka.

"My name is Yahal Soumi. Pleased to meet you.

My name is Fiona Fierce.

My name is Manon.

Fionn Fierce looked at Yahal Soumi.

Brown hair, brown eyes. Brown hair, brown eyes. He is of medium height and build, nothing remarkable.

However, his eyes were attentive and his body language was quite sophisticated. I concluded that he was not as he appeared to be, and I reminded myself to be careful.

"First of all, please get in.

"Thanks for your help."

It was an old golem car, but it was large enough to accommodate 10 passengers, including the driver, Yahal Sumi, Gaju Tuga, Fiona Fierce, and Manon, and it could also carry a box of Magi stones.

The man who had come with Yahal Soumi assured me that he would take charge of the airship, so I decided to leave it to him, not to doubt him.

He also assured me that the pilots would be welcomed by him.

The group was guided to the hotel.

The group was taken to a building that served as a guest house.

"It's a wooden building, isn't it?

Fionn Fias was very interested in the architecture of the Principality of Mimaka, which she had never seen before.

"Trees grow well in this area because of the tropical climate.

The proximity to the sea means that there is a lot of precipitation.

We were taken to the reception room.

Gaju, Tsuga, and three others sat down on chairs,

"Please come in.

and they were served kuhe, which had been made here.

A young lady attendant brewed it for them.

Gaju Tugga recognized her face, but did not know her name.

Cujhe, by the way, is a specialty drink of the Kingdom of Elias, and tastes similar to cocoa.

It is made from a tree nut that looks like a much smaller version of cacao in modern Japan.

Originally, the berry was called kuhe, and the beverage made from it was also called by the same name.

A quick digression.

After Gaju Tsuga and the other three had finished their sips of kuhe, Yahal Soumi opened his mouth.

So, what can I do for you today?

It was a direct question, but as this was the style of the Principality of Mimaka, Gaju Tsuga answered succinctly.

"The World Conference is concerned about the current situation in which the four principalities are at odds with each other, and we have come here to ascertain the current situation.

Straight forward.

However, Fionn Fierce was not surprised, since he had heard beforehand that negotiations in the Principality of Mimaka are basically confidential.

(I can see that honesty is important in your country ......)

Fionn Fias guessed that the country was not known for belly tricks.

(In addition, the short coastline, the low harvest of marine products, and the lack of underground resources make it the lowest ...... in terms of power among the four principalities.)

Fionn Fias listened to the discussion between Gaju Tuga and Yahal Sumi with the knowledge he had learned beforehand and the situation ...... in front of him.

I see, the Principality of Jagusu is as ambitious as ever," said Yahal Soumi.

Yahal Soumi said.

"The <> wants to stop such armed conflicts, don't you?"

You have been saying that for a long time, haven't you?

Yes. Yes, because it is my sincere intention.

"...... understand."

Yahal Soumi nodded in satisfaction.

"Let's see if we can get an audience with the king and the prime minister tonight, and maybe even have a discussion.

"Thank you very much. Please accept this as a gift.

At this point, Gaju Tsuga showed the box containing the magi stone that he had brought with him.

"May I see it?"

"Please look at it. Please look at it.

"Yes, please."

Yahal Soumi opened the box in the corner of the reception room and was surprised.

"What is this?

Inside were colorful magical stones.

The difference between a magi stone and a magi crystal lies in purity.

Magi crystals, as they are called <, have a purity of 50 to 100 percent.

Magi stones, on the other hand, have purity ranging from 1 to 50 percent.

Since the amount of free magic element (ether) contained in a magi stone varies logarithmically, there is a difference of five orders of magnitude between a magi stone and a magi crystal, even if they are of the same highest quality.

The purity of the magi stones in this case is about 30 percent. In other words, there is a seven-digit difference from the highest quality magi crystals.

Therefore, even if we wanted to use it in a magic weapon, it would not be triggered properly, so we thought it was safe to use it.

"With this much, we can operate quite a lot of life magic tools.

"If the four principalities stop fighting each other and qualify to participate in the <>, we can always get this amount of magi stones.

Yahal Soumi nodded broadly at Gaju Tsuga's words.

"I'm sure that both the king and the prime minister are aware of this. ...... Anyway, I will go and report to them about the magi stones we have received, so please wait in this building, Tsuga-dono.

"Yes, sir."

"......Yes, I'll take the liberty of using one of them."

Yahal Soumi took a water-attribute magi stone from a box and set it on a magical tool attached to the top of the wall.

Then a cool breeze blew from the ceiling.

"Now the air conditioner in this room is ready to work. Now, please let the maid know if you need anything else.

And this time he left the reception room.

"How was it?

Gaju Tugga asked Fionn Fias as he sipped the kuhe that the maid had brewed for him.

"Yes. How can I say ...... it was more hectic than I expected."

"I guess so. But that's the Mimaka way.

The idea is that all the roundabouts and bellyaching will only complicate the path to the conclusion, Gaju Tugga explained.

"I can certainly understand its merits."

One of the disadvantages of democracy is that it takes time to make a decision.

Maybe that's why the Principality of Mimaka tried to reduce it as much as possible, Fiona Fiasse analyzed.

"If it's not too emotional, it will work," she said.

Manon, who had remained silent until now, spoke up.

"If you don't offend or be offended by straight talk, it will definitely save time in the meeting. ......"

Manon swallowed the words that followed.

Manon swallowed the words that followed, because the maid of honor who had been entrusted with the group's care was listening.

He should avoid any comments that might be critical of the Principality of Mimaka as much as possible.

"I'm sure you will be able to make time for me tonight, since you are from that kind of country.

With these words, Gaju Tugga downed his cup of kuhe.
