Aroom had a complicated look on his face when he said that he did not care much if he was gone.

"I've been in a quiet job, and I've been mistreated.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, Elena. I was ......Well, I don't know how to say it, I don't care if you are there or not. ......Well, all the technical people were treated coldly.

Hearing this, Jin leaned forward.

"Tell me more about that."

"Uh, yes. ......<> has a slogan: "We hate the development of technology.

We all knew that, but what he said after that surprised and convinced us.

"...... but there are some people who don't like it and ......<> is internally divided."

"Internal division, you say. ......That makes sense. I've been feeling that there's been a lot of disunity in the policy."

Elena nodded her head.

"Yes. ......We had been on the verge of coming together since that Guillermo Marchitas became our leader, but he recently lost his fleet and we have lost our cohesive power.

Jin thought that he must be referring to the fleet that had surrounded Horai Island.

"You mean, there are two factions?" asked Rhodes.

Rhodes asked, and Arum shook his head.

"No, there are three.

"What?"

"Three. The faction led by Guillermo Marchitas, the faction aiming for supremacy in the Kingdom of Elias, and the ...... opportunistic faction.

Surprisingly, there are many of these << opportunistic> factions.

"Hmmm... ......"

Rhodes opened his mouth in thought.

"Assuming that Guillermo Marchitas is able to brainwash people with , we can assume that his faction will gain strength in the future.

I see... he's brainwashing an opportunistic faction.

That's what I'm thinking.

"...... I seem to be the one who was brainwashed by that.

Arum sagged.

We are going to start with those who have little presence and would not feel uncomfortable even if they were gone, in order to break them down little by little.

"So neither of them are important to you. ...... ugh ......"

"Oh dear, Arum, behave yourself."

"Yes!"

Arum was on the verge of despondency, but Elena's words helped him to get back on his feet.

"Yes, I know. Arum, you are now a treasure trove of information about the , if you don't mind my saying so.

Jin followed up.

"A treasure trove, you mean. ......

"Yes. And information loses its value when it becomes outdated. Therefore, we need to examine the information as soon as possible.

Aroom's face became sharp as if he had understood Jin's words.

"I understand!"

Elena smiled,

"Yes, that's good. Let's go to ...... and have a strategy meeting.

Elena smiled and said, "Okay, that's fine.

* * * * * *

Soon after, Lelia and Arrietta, who had also become acquainted with Jin and Rhodes, arrived.

But...

"It's not Arum!"

When did you come back?

"Uh, well, I heard that Master Jin and Master Rhodotos rescued him..."

For a few moments, the three female party members rejoiced at their safe reunion.

"Come on, let's start the meeting!

Elena clapped her hands and the three became serious and took their seats.

"I know it's not much to call it an executive meeting ......, but we have a special guest today. It's not often that we have such an opportunity.

The meeting began with Elena, Arum, Lelia, Arietta, Jin, Rhodes, and Reiko.

"First of all, is it better to recover the lost ground, or is it better to disturb the opponent?

Jin summarized the agenda.

"I think we can come to a conclusion after a detailed study of the current situation of the <>."

Jin-sama is right. Specifically, should we retake the base in Kasimunore, or should we stir up confusion among them?

Elena added.

"I think it is still a little early to retake the base," Elena added. I think it is still a little early to take them back, because we are not ready yet.

Elena started by stating her opinion.

"So, Alm, please tell us what you know about the situation of the League of Magic.

"Yes, Elena."

Arum closed his eyes once to check his memory, then opened them again.

"In a word, I am . Guillermo Marchitas, our leader, only shows his face once in a while, so the executives are doing what they want. ...... Well, I mean, some time ago, there was a lot of noise about a lot of ships getting out of control, and I think the confusion has deepened since then."

"Well, that's interesting. ...... Mr. Jin, do you know anything about this?"

"Yes. Yeah. I think those ships are the ones that surrounded my base. I destroyed them all. I don't blame you for making a big deal out of it.

That's just like Jin-sama, isn't it?

"Is that so?"

Elena was impressed, but Aroom looked incredulous.

"...... If that's the case, the <> has lost nine-tenths of its maritime forces."

"Oh."

That is useful information for Jin. <

"Originally, the headquarters is on the island of Electra. Without ships or flying machines, it will be difficult to move personnel.

<, they are not free to use it.

"We are one step ahead of you in this respect, aren't we?"

Leelia smiled and stuck out her tongue.

The Nostalgia Party has its own warp gate. And it's half-authorized by the world.

"Let's go back. There should be only two <> and about ten <> on the current Electra Island, and we are in the process of building battleships in a rush."

Arum's face contorted in frustration here.

"...... I remember suggesting cruisers rather than battleships, but I was laughed out of the room."

"Hmmm...... why do you suggest cruisers?"

A question from Jin, who thought Arum's opinion was interesting.

"Oh, yes. Well, a cruiser can be completed in about a third of the materials and time of a battleship. In terms of overall strength, three cruisers are equivalent to two battleships, in my opinion. Therefore, ......."

Jin nodded.

"I see. Can you give me the definition of a battleship and a cruiser, by the way, ......?"

"Yes. Battleships are over 30 meters in length, while cruisers are between 20 and 30 meters in length, with an emphasis on offensive capabilities. Cruisers are those that are more aggressive and have a more comprehensive range of capabilities.

"I see. Thank you."

The ships surrounding Horai Island were definitely battleships by this definition.

"By the way, doesn't Electra Island have a warp gate?"

"Yes, there is.

Elena answered.

One leads to Avalon, one to Kunlun Island, and one to the base of Kasimunore.

So they can come and go from Avalon?

"Yes, but the Avalon receiving station is currently shut down, so transfers are not possible."

It is a natural measure.

"The warp gate of Avalon is very strictly controlled.

Rhodes added.

"Then we'll have to make it impossible for them to get to Kunlun Island.

Jin chuckled, as if he had just thought of something.
