The Three Power Talks begin
Gorgeous carriages were dodom
There was an ie of escorts and an especially luxurious carriage in the middle of it
It was the horse-drawn carriage of Earlshyde’s Crown Prince, Augusto von Earlshyde
There was a large number of escorts present due to the fact that they were traveling toward the Three Country Talks that was going to being held between: Earlshyde Kingdom, Els Federation of Free Commerce, and the Holy Country Ys
I found out that the representatives of each of the three countries will be participating in the talks: Crown Prince Augusto froe of diplomacy from Els
The purpose of the Three Nation Talks was to address the threat the devils pose to the world and unite to confront it
It will also be announced that the Ultiicians are not a roup intending to solve threats all around the world
To confiricians are also heading towards the Swedes Kingdom, the host of the soon to come Three Powers Talks
That’s why there are several carriages
In one of those carriages…
“Because the devils haven’t attacked recently, I can hear people saying: ‘The Devils have given up attacking because they fear the Ultiicians,’ is that okay?”(shi+n)
“I have already said that negotiations with other countries are ust)
“But still…”(shi+n)
Will he be able to get the cooperation of Els and Ys if that’s truly the case? That’s orries
If we have so ht think their power isn’t necessary… So to say…
Wait! What!?
“No way… Are they ai for post-war exhaustion…”(shi+n)
“You’re overthinking it Els is generally ais trust so such behaviour will be highly criticized The saious nation that follows and believes in good deeds and the Creator God will act like that?”(August)
“Is that so?”(shi+n)
“Well… that’s what’s publicly known…”(August)
“…So it’s not kno they act behind the scenes… is it…?”(shi+n)
“Leading a country isn’t soust)
“…Be careful for the duration of the …”(shi+n)
“Thisto worry about”(August)
Gus played with the necklace on his chest
Even if they don’t get their way, I don’t think a direct attack will occur during negotiations… But I don’t knohat kind of cheap tricks they ht use
Let’s hope that the representatives of Els and Ys are cordial people
The last tido, but this tie
We could get there in a moment with Gate… It o days to the border with a horse-drawn carriage and two days frodom, but we finally arrived
So distant… Should I seriously think about sky travel?
I don’t think that the iroundwork in various places with business negotiations…
“Hey, shi+n, are you planning soust)
“…Was I grinning again?”(shi+n)
“Yes…”(August)
“I did it again”(shi+n)
“You really were… ill you reust)
“Rude I’ht away”(shi+n)
“Calling that prudent…”(August)
He was angry the other day, but I think it’s a convenient idea…
As ere talking, the walls of the Iht
“Ohh! It’s been a while! It’s been considerably rebuilt!”(Maria)
“Is that so? Well it has to be a syust)
Everyone peeked out froet a view of the ramparts which was still far away
I unintentionally came here just the other day to test out the coh
“Welcodom! It has been a while!”
When we arrived to the Capital … an enormous amount of people welcomed us
“Kyaa! Augusto-sama!”
“Magic King-sa!”
“Ooooooo! Sicily-sama!”
“Saint-sama! I’m healed!”
The sheer amount of cheers froation of devils fro
That aside, the title of Magic King has reached this kingdom as well…?
“We seem to be very welcome”(shi+n)
“Of course The devil raid didn’t occur a long tio When the devils were repelled, the citizens had a lot on their minds, so they couldn’t thank us properly There wereus when they had the chance, so they are putting in extra effort this tiust)
Gus had declared the beginning and the end of the battle, while Sicily was in direct contact with the people to heal their injuries It’s natural that they would be popular
“We have prepared a guest house this ti”
“Your consideration is appreciated I’ust)
“Don’t ratitude”
And so elcodom
Both of the re
Thetomorrow
As soon as this agreeainst the old empire territory will be launched
I hope it goes smoothly
In a famous restaurant in Swedes there is a roo while you eat
This tidom was that room
The Swedes Kingdo advance peacefully accompanied by a meal
In a private rooust, who had arrived before the representatives of the other two countries
Thor and Julius were sitting with him as his escorts
August is really relaxed in contrast to the two of the escorts that visibly looked a bit nervous
Thor wondered how August could remain so placid
“Your Highness is quite calm but… are not you worried about shi+n’s concerns?”(Thor)
“Certainly, I understand shi+n’s worries”(August)
“Then why?”(Thor)
August answered Thor while grinning
“I just have to grasp the initiative froust)
Thor responded to August by saying, “Your Highness must have carefully calculated the chances of victory,” and decided not to ask any more
“Your Highness Augusto, the representatives of Els and Ys are ready”
A report stating the arrival of the representatives of the two countries was heard frouard outside the room
“Well then, shall we go?”(August)
With a light feeling, August went to the venue of the Three Power Talks
When he entered the roo would take place, the representatives of Els and Ys aiting without sitting in their chairs
“It’s a pleasure to e of diplomacy at the Els Federation of Free Commerce, Osama Naval Please remember me”(Naval)
The Els representative spoke with a distinctive Els accent
His face was terribly repulsive and transparent It was very obvious that he wanted to pull favorable conditions for his country during this
(Could you hide your greed a little?) (August inner ue)
“Augusto von Earlshyde The pleasure is ust)
In his thoughts, he was disappointed in Els who sent a , but he could not say that He responded with an attitude befitting the royal fa any impolite remarks
“Greetings Your Highness Augusto, I am Amun Fuller, and I hold the title of Archbishop at the Church of Creation”(Fuller)
Even because of this ust sighed on the inside
Because the clergymen of the Church of Creation consider poverty a virtue, they’re faal, but the person in front of hied man
(Being the Archbishop is a good excuse for staining priest clothes… furthermore…)
“Augusto von Earlshyde, please take care of me”(Fuller)
“Mhust)
Being froantly to provoke antagonism
It’s obvious both representatives are trying to use these talks to further their career
For the sake of obtaining this position it’s not unthinkable they used every means at their disposal
This should be ato address the world crisis… Because the two countries are located farther away from the former empire, they don’t feel as much threat from the devils and therefore lack the atmosphere of a crisis
“I’d like to start the discussion at once… And while we’re here, why don’t we talk while we eat?”(August)
“Hm? I don’t see why not”(Naval)
“That’s right, it’s early in theBreakfast is a matter of course”(Fuller)
“Well then, excuse ust)
Naval, the representative of Els, frowned because he was trying to appeal to his own argu, in contrast to Fuller who showed a pleased response
Although it may be that he was just interested in the food…
While the breakfast was being handed out, August started talking
“Since the devils appeared, dehways Doesn’t that i it into a serious probleust)
“Indeed, we had to increase the number of escorts and the costs have painfully increased”(Naval)
“How about Ys? The believers are anxious and deust)
“Mh uneasy”(Fuller)
Naval responded normally, however Fuller responded nervously for some reason
Seeing Fuller’s facial expression gave August some confidence
Such small talk continued over breakfast until it finally ca to start
“Now then,since this is an appeal frodom to the Els Federation of Free Coht to the point”(August)
The other two people changed their posture to those words
Illustration
“I would like to for the other nations from the devils who have conquered the for countries”(August)
The envoys started thinking about it, and then Naval spoke with a cheerful expression
“That… As much as I would like to, it’s impossible”(Naval)
“What?”(August)
Naval responded to August’s question while grinning
“Els is athe alliance will only procure loses That’s why there is no interest in participating”(Naval)
“There is no benefit…”(August)
“assu the devils would be suppressed ill be responsible for the military expenses? Could you ask them to pay war reparations?”(Naval)
“Certainly, it is iust)
“Or will Earlshyde Kingdom cover it?”(Naval)
“Military costs for a whole country? Don’t be unreasonable”(August)
“Is that so? In the first place, Earlshyde are the ones who proposed an alliance In addition I heard a rumor… Have you heard about it? That Earlshyde could handle the crisis themselves Yet despite that they still try to establish an alliance in an attempt to control us”(Naval)
August’s facial expression slightly distorted when Naval brought up rumors from the streets
Naval who saw that expression started looking down on him more and more
“Invasion would be too big of a burden for Earlshyde alone, but if joining the alliance would turn profitable for us…Then it would be a different story”(Naval)
“Hust)
Those words finally arrived froust! Naval’s face lit up
“Certainly… There is now adistance co countries Why not offer that as payly”(Naval)
Coes infor indispensable for mercantile nations
August spat a sigh at Naval who stated his request without reserve
“What about Ys? They surely wouldn’t deust)
Naval’s face is distorted when August criticized Els forthe world crisis
“Ha ha ha, areedy demands like Els”(Fuller)
“Wha-what !?”(Naval)
“We wouldn’t even think of giving priority to our own interests during a world crisis”(Fuller)
Naval stared at Fuller like he had killed his parents in front of hinored it with a cool face
“That would ust)
“That’s right… We are willing to participate…”(Fuller)
Although he criticized Els, it seems that Ys has a demand as well
“What do you wish for?”(August)
“I’ve told you earlier didn’t I? Anxiety is spreading ae the situation”(Fuller)
“…Specifically?”(August)
Fuller voiced his demands to those words
“The Saint”(Fuller)
“What?”(August)
“According to the ruirl hailed as a saint in your country A very beautiful girl who excels in healing ic Please hand over the Saint to us I want her to become a symbol that removes the anxiety of the people in the Holy Country”(Fuller)
The proposala reputation as a Saint
Deep down August anticipated so like that
He thought that he would dest the followers
He did not anticipate however, being told to deliver the saint…
lust was clearly evident in Fuller’s eyes
He would probably irl fa
When August iined what shi+n’s reaction would be… It sent shi+vers down his spine
Els and Ys What both countries requested is closely connected to shi+n, and in particular Ys’ demand could not be accepted easily
Naval and Fuller are both looking at August with anticipation in their eyes
(Through cross national negotiations, they are trying to fulfill their own desires)
Naval and Fuller are trying to hide their greed but it pollutes their eyes
“The deust)
Naval and Fuller enthusiastically look up
And then August begins speaking…
“I cannot possibly accept either”(August)
To those words they could only stare with their ape, shocked and disappointed
“What are you saying? I we should participate in the ithout any form of compensation?”(Naval)
“Although it was a proposal for the sake of eli the anxiety of the people… To put it bluntly, I am disappointed”(Fuller)
“After all, is it iotiations with the young Crown Prince…?”(Naval)
“Truly”(Fuller)
Naval and Fuller criticised August for rejecting their demands
As for August as showered by their ridiculing words…
“You are the ones who know nothing”(August)
He put soer into his response
“There is no benefit for Els? How dare you show your face here with that degree of understanding of the situation? Did you send a representative just to wish good luck?”(August)
“W-why you!?”(Naval)
“Also, Archbishop Fuller Why ust)
“I’ve told you already, in order to get rid of the people’s anxiety…”(Fuller)
“People have started calling her a saint by the to beco of the Saint of the Ultio to the battlefield and defeat devils, furtherinates because she cured the wounded people without requesting co the populace and everyone’s high hopes for her Would the insecurity of the people even decrease at all if she was handed over to Ys? ”
“Th-that is…”(Fuller)
“On the contrary, wouldn’t re the saint from the battlefield only serve to fuel the people’s anxiety?”(August)
Fuller lost the words to respond to August’s questioning
“Or… is there another purpose to it?”(August)
“Such a thing!”(Fuller)
“Oh? The Archbishop… De?”(Naval)
“Be silent you niggard!”(Fuller)
“What did you say you corrupt priest!?”(Naval)
“What!?”(Fuller)
“What?!?”(Naval)
“That’s enough!”(August)
August stopped the two people that had started quarreling
Why did Naval, as supposed to be here as a representative of Els, start provoking Fuller, the representative of another country?
That’s because Els and Ys had strained relations even before going into these talks
Els was unhappy with Ys who coroup of niggards
That relationshi+p was personified here
Although it’s a bad relationshi+p, they’re athe costs of war and the ioing to war, they weren’t planning on waging war against each other
“What are Els and Ys thinking? These are negotiations to overcoust)
“That’s true, however, Earlshyde could handle it alone couldn’t they? Why do we have to get involved?”(Naval)
“I agree”(Fuller)
“Do you not understand even that…?”(August)
“Wh-What?”(Naval)
“Are youfools of us?”(Fuller)
The other two people have still not noticed the true ht
“Certainly, Earlshyde can deal with it alone, but what do you think would happen if only our country controlled the situation?”(August)
“If so… I don’t think ould have a hard time, but…”(Naval)
“If that’s the case, what about neighboring countries?”(August)
“That! They would be grateful to Earlshyde…”(Naval)
It seems they’ve finally noticed
If only Earlshyde controls the situation Earlshyde’s achievee
The influence of Earlshyde who saved the world and the position of a major country that didn’t participate…
“The surrounding countries feel a great deal of gratitude towards Earlshyde, and this world… Concerning the twothe world crisis… Just what kind of evaluation will they receive?”(August)
That doesn’t mean it is a certainty that will happen, but Naval and Fuller went pale since August phrased it as if it were inevitable
Coh the core is different, they’re both heavily influenced by the opinion of the populace
At this rate, if Earlshyde were to take all of the credit… Earlshyde would becoreat deal of influence, while the other two great poho did nothing would lose their credibility
“Thisis not to ‘please’ to Els and Ys This is a ‘proposition to share the glory’ To divide the achievements that could be monopolized solely by Earlshyde with two more countries With that… I do hope your corrupted desires have been eliust)
The purpose of these talks was not only to counter the demonic threat but also to adjust the power balance of the world
He predicted that the two representatives would lie to his face and convey their own request
One was ashamed of himself because he couldn’t read him
