Prime Minister Beyax Gere, the representative of the Principality of Jags, is still talking.

"Even though we have been subjected to psychological interference (psychodirection), the trouble we have caused to neighboring countries will not disappear. An apology is an apology, but I am prepared to pay you a fee in addition."

"Oh?"

For the first time, Kaim Lo Hasta, the Norwegian Minister of Public Affairs, opened his mouth.

"What kind of compensation does the Principality of Jagusz have in mind?

"First of all, it will be paid in materials.

The amount would be so large that it would have an impact on the world economy, Beyax Gere explained.

"Or it could be in the form of a deed."

Certificates of indebtedness payable over several years and capped at one year's worth.

It could be in cash, or in the form of materials or magic tools.

Details will be worked out in the future.

The story goes on to talk about the merchants who have been soaked in the .

"We have received full cooperation from Jin and Machina in this regard. According to them, they are willing to erase the dependence of those who are in question.

"I see. If the two of you are willing to help us, then we can rest assured.

This was said by Schlotgen Dommer von Kabastan, Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications.

There were many merchants who had suffered in the Shoro Empire.

Jin then asked the Minister how many people were affected.

"Well, about ......10 people, I guess."

"Ten ...... people."

I am not sure if it was a lot or not, but I thought that if it was that many, it would be possible to treat them by using <, assuming that they wanted to do so.

And other countries also gave the approximate number of victims in their respective countries.

According to .......

Kingdom of Shoro 10 victims

Kingdom of Cerroa: 7

Kingdom of Egelea 5

Kingdom of Franz 3

Kingdom of Elias 4

Kingdom of Klein 0

Mitsuho 6

This means that the number of the people in the kingdom of Mitsuho was 6.

Meanwhile, on Hourai Island, Erza and Hanna were conducting a certain research. .......

"It's done, isn't it?

"Yes, we did. Thanks to Hanna-chan.

"No, I couldn't have done it without Erza's technology.

The old man thanked her for her hard work.

"This will ease your master's (My Lord) heartache.

It was once mentioned that <> could be used in the treatment of <>.

Jin was of the opinion that this would be better than the use of <>.

Still, it is much better than the idea of using , which is a forbidden spell, to make people forget the fulfillment of <, which was proposed at the beginning of the discussion.

In any case, <> can only erase memories in the order of newest to oldest, so if you go back in time to erase memories, you will end up erasing the most recent memories as well.

Since this would cause discrepancies in daily life, it was concluded that it would be better to copy the memories into a magi-crystal and then re-memorize the necessary parts by using trans-info or send-info.

However, this is only a theory, and it is a risky procedure, because it is impossible to know what side effects there might be without actually trying it.

So Jin thought that the method used in this study, <>, could be used to treat only those who have the desire to break free from addiction to euphoric drugs.

However, the treatment method devised by Elsa and Hanna was even less risky.

In a word, <>.

What is to be added is the impression of <>.

In other words, by adding the impression of <> to the memory of <>, they are trying to eliminate dependence on the drug.

However, the effect is still unknown. After all, no one has tried it yet.

The two are still considering what they can add that would be more effective.

"How about <>?"

"Well, isn't that a bit like brainwashing?"

"Oh, I see. ....... I'm sure you don't like that kind of thing ......."

I don't seem to be able to find a way to do that. >>I can't seem to find a way to do it.

Prime Minister Beyax Gere further explained his apology.

"As you know, our country was also developing a golem. We are ready to disclose the details of this technology.

"Hmm, that's quite meaningful."

I see. That would be something to consider.

It seems that the Principality of Norway and the Principality of Dalat have taken to this proposal.

However, it is true that it is dangerous to unilaterally assume that the Duchy of Jagus is to blame.

Therefore, the will also serve as a mediator.

Zion then announced what had been agreed upon in advance.

"We are ready to offer various kinds of assistance if the four principalities will be truly at peace.

The meaning of these words was that the sooner the issue was settled, the sooner we would be able to provide assistance.

Of course, they are still providing aid, but it is more than that.

In addition, there is a condition that if there is peace, they can officially participate in the , so there is a hope that the other three duchies will try to find a compromise instead of complaining.

"Yes, that's right. For our part, in light of the damage caused by the past conflicts, we are willing to pay ...... for the compensation."

"For our part, we are willing to provide ...... the Golem technology.

"Our country would also like to provide ...... technology and magic tools."

Each of the three duchies expressed their hopes.

It seems that we can find a compromise. We will take some time later, so please do not negotiate at this time.

Zion told them that this was a place to decide on matters within the , and that a separate place would be set up for matters within the four provisional participating principalities.
