It's been a month since Ares arrived at Grants, which also means it's time for the conference of representatives of four forear, Trevoir and Brittany to be held

[It's only been a ed since then…]

Redgear's William coh theof his carriage

The previous Heinz was often attacked by monsters, so people tend to walk around while are of a crude and underdeveloped land

In fact, Williaic beasts when he visited Grants in the past The road was rough and the cityscape looked e or a suburban area From those impressions, he's hard-pressed to believe that it was a capital city of a country

But what about now?

On his way here, no roup The road ell-maintained and easy to pass The street was already cobblestone and s to stone and brick buildings Unlike before, thefor business There were s fun

[When the lord changes so will the country… is it? Then I too, will try to follow]

As Williaan to think about the conference of the four fores under Ares' leadershi+p

Williae hall ide round table in thebehind the round table, soear… oh, now it's Earl of Redgear… this is the first time we meet]

When William turned around, he saell dressed, tall, silver hairedyou without introducingBrittany]

Gray bowed his head as he spoke Willia this

[Please do not bow to inally just an adventurer… while Willia How can it be equal…]

[It's in the past Please stop We are comrades now]

William said as he offered a handshake Gray, in turn, finally raised his head back

[Well then, noe are talking I'll look forward to working with you in the future]

Gray took William's outstretched hand and two finally shook hands firmly with a smile on each face

Afterward, William asked Gray a question

[By the way, Gray-dono… do you happen to knohere we should sit?]

[No… I actually have the same problem]

At that moment, the door opened once more This time around, it was Trevoir's Louis and Simon

Just the same, both looked at the round table in confusion

[This is… where should I sit?]

[What's with this round table…? This on't knohere the leader will sit…]

Seeing this, William and Gray could only smile at each other

[It appears that we are not the only ones not in the know]

[It seems so But… this is a probleht then, the door once again opened along with a loud noise

[Ah! Milord hasn't arrived yet Iearly, I won't be this panicked… it's because of you as usual…]

[You're just being petty, Sigurd! At least we -bodied loudwell entered the hall They then sat down on the chairs without ht

[…isn't that Grants' crown prince, Lord Darius!?]

Surprised to find Darius there, William shouted out of shock

[Oh, hi, everyone You've come from afar, so why don't you take a seat? Aren't you tired fro around like that?]

Pressured by Darius' voice, William, Gray, and Louis, hurriedly sat on nearby seats Simon si seat is… despite that thought, William and the others didn't dare to voice it out because Darius was there

Soon after, yet another voice could be heard from behind the door

[As I told you already, you don't have to become my assistant…]

[I will leave the corps to Liliandono in the meantime… however, I want you to teach her Schwarzer-style tactics and coone towith that Liliandono?]

[………]

[Don't tell ht, let's start the conference already]

[…milord… isn't it still a bit too early?]

The door opened to the voice of Ares, shi+on, and George

William was about to stand up, but Ares immediately stopped hile ti elsesht, just like Darius and Sigurd did shi+on and George took the empty seats next to him

[Excuse me…]

The Earl of Trevoir Louis opened up

[Ares-dono is our leader So I thought that it would only be natural for you to sit on a throne… but this round table does not signify which one of us is the leader Would you please elaborate…?]

[Isn't it just a seat?]

[I don't need such a thing when it's unnecessary, do I? Everyone is here to confer for the good of the people and nation There is no need for difference in rank here]

It was a concept well beyond their current coave Ares an amazed look

After that, Ares continued to have a small talk with the other participants When several civil officers, including Gail finally took the rean the conference

[Alright… now that we are already acquaintanced with each other, let's proceed with the conference First is the political aspects The e]

[In Ares-sae, the State Secretary A pleasure to e expanded the map of the four fore proposed 3 policies for the three countries

The first were land and agricultural reforear were known as rich and prosperous lands

[But there are still soe introduced the double-cropping ed in Schwarzer Territory and becah in the E tools, fertilizers as well as the method to cultivate the land were also introduced with illustrations

[These lands are fertile grounds It's best to turn the with Grants once we opened up the Land of Dericultural land in the continent]

For both Williae introduced new methods that they hadn't known yet before

The next proposal was about coht now We'll have to review the tax systeistics]

[ What do you h as is?]

[But just opening a small stall requires a lot of money If you tone the cost down, there are bound to be more people to do business]
