Chapter 65

The second day of the Three Power Talks

August and Bishop Makina had finished their business at the lodgings of the Holy Country Ys’ delegation and went straight to theplace in the restaurant

Els’ diplomat Naval had already arrived at the private room

There were dark circles around his eyes, probably a result of thinking about the postwar profits August had mentioned yesterday

“…Good usto Who is that?”(Naval)

“Oh, good ed froust)

“Nice to meet you, Els’ representative I am Hamill Makina I am a bishop of the Holy Country of Ys Please take care of me”(Makina)

“This one is polite, excuse me, I am Osama Naval By the hat happened to Archbishop Fuller? Is it okay for the representative to change?”(Naval)

“Well… He caused a problem and was forcibly deported back to Ys… I will act on his behalf instead”(Makina)

“Can you tell me what he did…?”(Naval)

“I am sorry, however…”(Makina)

“Is that so… I guess there’s no use pursuing it then… shall we begin today’snow?”(Naval)

“I’d like to do that… However, I have not eaten breakfast yet Would you ust)

“Huh, you too?”(Makina)

“Since early this , Bishop Makina and I were busy What about diploust)

“It would be e to be the only one left out, so I will join you”(Naval)

Like yesterday, thestarted with breakfast

What’s different from yesterday is that the Ys representative isn’t Fuller

Additionally, Makina’s portion was noticeably smaller than Fuller’s in the previous day

“Bishop Makina was it…? Will that truly be enough?”(Naval)

“Yes Our religion’s doctrine is that one must not take more than the necessary nutrition The bare minimum of bread and soup It also dictates that the surplus food is to be shared with the ones who are in need”(Makina)

“That is very different from Archbishop Fuller yesterday… Even so… The doctrine in Ys is the exact opposite of our country In my homeland, wealth is justice”(Naval)

“I was thinking of telling Els’ merchants this someday: if you mindlessly pursue profits, you will make countless enemies which will eventually cause your deed your behavior before that happens?”(Makina)

“…Really… All the followers of Ys say the sa… Unfortunately, Els is a country of capital supremacy If you’re careless, you will be harvested until not even a single hair around your anus remains”(Naval)

“anus…”(Makina)

“That was a metaphor”(Naval)

“I know, I know”(Makina)

A follower of Ys tries to repri This scene that could be seen throughout the world was on full display here as well

“Well then, it seeet down to business”(August)

“Yes”(Naval)

“Agreed By the as the contents of your discussion yesterday? Because Fuller went straight to his room as soon as he returned, I haven’t received a report from him”(Makina)

“That’s right, yesterday…&

rdquo;(August)

August explained the contents of yesterday’s

Then…

“What… What a disgrace…”(Makina)

“I was overwhelmed as well…”(Naval)

“So? Do you understand the postwar profits now?”(August)

“That is true… Why didn’t I notice yesterday… I am truly pathetic…”(Naval)

Naval finally noticed what kind of profit each country would reap after this disturbance

“Before that, I have a question… what is going on in the territory of the old Empire?”(Naval)

“We have confirmed that the Imperial Capital has fallen, and the Emperor was slain We’ve also confirmed several cities that have been completely wiped out However, we cannot confirust)

“After this much time has passed… I wonder if all of the other cities are in the same state…?”(Makina)

“Probably”(August)

“Thatin the empire…”(Naval)

“…Sorry, however…”(August)

“Terrible… It’s unbelieveable…”(Naval)

“Oh, God… May they rest in peace…”(Makina)

As far as the investigations conducted by the reconnaissance teams, the cities have been annihilated… No, not just annihilated

If the sahout the whole Imperial territory… it is anticipated that there are no more humans left in the empire

With all the towns combined, the Empire’s population was around hundreds of thousands of citizens To Naval, it was an outrageous number, while Makina prayed for those who lost their lives

“I do not know the intentions behind the devils’ actionsWhen I thought that they were going to rule the e over I did not expect them to take such brutish actions It was extrehtered…”(August)

“That… That cannot be helped? To be slaughtered instead of to be dominated… I can’t believe my ears”(Makina)

“That’s right, although… It may imprudent for uess that is the end result?”(Naval)

August looked at Naval who seemed to have finally noticed

“Hust)

“Yeah, how did I not realize what I was doing? It seee that it exceeds the scope of ”(Naval)

“What do you ust)

“…Itsuitable to talk about in front of the clergyman of the church of creation… What is in the territory of the old eht now?”(Naval)

“Even if you ask… Isn’t it a group of devils? Also, those very de countries…”(Makina)

It seems that Makina has also noticed

“Yes, so now the former Empire’s territory… It is now a ” Devil Territory”, populated by devils and demons… That’s it”(Makina)

There are no citizens left ere originally settled there

“If we subjugate the devils and drive out the demons to a certain extent… ould be left behind?”(Makina)

“Everyone… Vast land that is not governed by anyone…”(Naval)

“That land is supposed to be evenly distributed a countries Els and Ys will becoe that”(Makina)

“Well… we don’t share a border with the empire, so we don’t mind”(Naval)

“When it comes down to it… What are our benefits?”(Makina)

August, who heard Makina’s words, finally got to the main point

“It is not athe land There is no point to unclaimed territory unless people live there and have a ust)

Naval understands and Makina nodded as if he had been convinced

“To undertake production, humans require equipust)

August started going into the details

Naval and Makina didn’t interrupt and listened carefully

“I do not knohat the state of the old cities are, but a grand reconstruction will probably be necessary, and that reconstruction…”(August)

August looked at Naval

“With the approval of each country that task will be left to Els”(August)

Listening to that, Naval got goosebumps all over his body

“We are planning to ask for procurement of materials for the reconstruction Ordered fro Earlshyde The supplier will be a trading coust)

“That… that’s an outrageously grand deal…”(Naval)

“How about it? We cannot distribute territory to you but won’t this agreeh benefits for Els? However, let the coust)

“…To turn down such a huge deal… You’d have to be mad I understand For future profits, we’ll pay from our own pockets now”(Naval)

“Is that so? Thank you”(August)

“I should be the one saying that Please treat us well”(Naval)

“And now Ys”(August)

Up to this point, we have only talked about Els, but Ys hasn’t been brought into the conversation yet

“What was the religion of the old eust)

To August’s words, an unpleasant color appeared on the face of Makina

“Frankly, they are not recognized as the followers of the saious doctrine”(Makina)

“I guess so I heard about that as well”(August)

The sole religion in this world is the doctrine of the God of Creation But there are multiple interpretations of the doctrine

The widespread doctrine is that there are several coood deeds By aht closer to the Creator God

As a result, this world can distinguish between good and evil because of the coood and evil

However, in religion, denoion and the environment

In the headquarters, Son is an interpretation of “Child” regardless of whether it is a es and childbirth which increases God’s children are allowed

Of course, selfish acts like the actions Fuller took are forbidden by the commandments

On the other hand, depending on the region, the Son is a person who has dedicated hie and intercourse

So as the doctrine within the old empire?

“The church of the empire’s doctrine… We are the sons of God, so God is watching over us Therefore, if you confess your behavior obediently and donate to the church, all your acts will be forgiven… They have been taught such terribly s”(Makina)

“Soiven if you just confess?”(August)

“It seest the poor people because a donation was necessary”(Makina)

“Because of that, the nobles iven by God and started to think they could do anything to the coust)

Confessing is not “Penance”

Because of that, the nobility was not conscious of their sins and the church’s children, who could also be said to belong to the ireedier because they were able to decide the amount of donation money

“So the church of that iust)

“Yes… that would mean…”(Makina)

“Is a church necessary in a newly rebuilt town? The devils have unintentional purged the faulty doctrine”(August)

“In other words, if we can build a church of a righteous doctrine in a newly built town…”(Makina)

“Well, that’s why The principal doctrine of the religion is co the nuust)

“Well, it’s a pleasure to have more churches”(Makina)

August presented the benefits to both countries

For the reconstruction, the materials will be left up to Els

For installation of new churches, the preaching and the righteous doctrine will be left to the church

To that end, it is essential to subjugate the demons and devils in the Devil Territory

“Well, coain… Does Ys have any more demands?”

“…Well, it was our fault that Fuller was our representative Consequently, this time, we are content with smaller benefits…”(Makina)

“So will you cooperate then?”(August)

“Turning our eyes away from the demon threat is contrary to our belief Of course, we’ll cooperate”(Makina)

“Well, the fine adjusty is not yet concrete but for the tiust)

August put his right hand on the table

“Yes, I’ on you too”(Naval)

“Thank you”(Makina)

Naval and Makina shook hands with Augustus Then they reluctantly shook hands with each other

Here, Earlshyde, Els, and Ys established a World Union of neighboring countries

“Oh, you’re back How did the o?”(shi+n)

“Oh, Els and Ys were convinced The forust)

Great! The world alliance has actually been established!

“…What?”(August)

“No… So Gus is actually a nice guy…”(shi+n)

“You… Just how did you see ust)

“Eh? A wicked prince that gets carried away by his plots”(shi+n)

“Y-you…”(August)

Hey? Gus started treht it was a fairly accurate description myself…

“Only shi+n would say sohness”(Maria)

“Oh yeah, to the world, Prince August is a wise, handsohly popular view in the public eye”(Tony)

“…Hey Freed… What was that?”(August)

“Ah, I’m sorry But after I see your interactions with shi+n, I feel much more familiar with you”(Tony)

“…After all, shi+n is the root of all evil, isn’t he?”(August)

“What are you talking about? It’s just Gus’ true character That aside… Won’t Sicily get angry if you badmouth me?”(shi+n)

“Hust)

I looked at Sicily

“Ah… Hahaha…”(Sicily)

What?

“Until I saw His Highness interactions with shi+n, I didn’t knohat His Highness was like as a person… I think that’s thanks to shi+n”(Sicily)

I smiled wryly This character of hers is unknown to the citizens of Earlshyde…

“Really? As soon as I came back, this… It ruined the serious atust)

“Serious?”(shi+n)

Gus was?

“Ah… It was truly a For both yesterday and today, I kept the initiative at all tied to convince the representatives of Els and Ys to participate in the coalition”(August)

“I hadn’t seen Your Highness’ dignified appearance in a long time”(Julius)

“Julius… “(August)

“Oops, I misspoke”(Julius)

Laughter rose up within the team It truly was a jovial moment

“By the way, I told you to introduce us What happened to that?”(shi+n)

“After this, ill attend a dinner party to celebrate the signing of the coalition, so I will introduce you then That ain in the evening”(August)

So it’s like that Once the dinner is finished, will the Three Power Talks be finished?

There were so the way but all’s well that ends well

Because it was still early in the afternoon, I had lunch with our group and headed towards the restaurant where the

Thearea seems to be a private room on the second floor, but the dinner party is held on the first floor

Els and Ys’ delegation will also be there There will be a considerable number of people

“The Kingdom of Earlshyde has arrived”(Doorman)

When we arrived at the restaurant, the waiter told of our arrival to the people ere already present

When we entered… ere greeted with a grand applause

Oh… … After theatmosphere

Gus is really a…

“His Highness Prince Augusto has arrived With the faicians… Are you the Magic King and the Saint?”(Naval)

Is this the Els’ accent? You can immediately identify a person from Els by their accent

“This is the Magic King, shi+n Walford, and this is the Saint, Sicily von Claude”(August)

“This is our first ti each other I am Osama Naval of the Els Federation of Free Commerce Please remember me”(Naval)

“I am shi+n Walford It’s a pleasure to meet you too”(shi+n)

“I am Sicily von Claude Thank you in advance”(Sicily)
