67 63 Its time for negotiation? (smile) (1/2)

Another side

Early in the morning, a man of high rank dressed in a gleaming white embroidered vestment walked swiftly over the cobblestone pavement, his expression was not impatient, but his mouth was distorted to show his mood.

His expression was not hasty, but his mouth was tightly distorted to show his grumpiness.

Then the man hears a report coming from behind his back.

The content of the report is such that it upsets your original plans that had been going so well, and the tone of reply naturally becomes severe.

What do you mean our brave men's education is not progressing well?

That's why some people will question the ...... doctrine and will not help unless they take the lead in answering the questions and answering the ...... doctrine.

”Nonsense!　A brave man, an apostle of God, should not deny God's teachings, and you don't know it!

The knights report that there is a difference in perception, being that they are children from another world, at some point.

It's your job to do something about it!

The man stepped on the cobblestones to stave off the shit and spit.

At first it was fine.

The words of the pope, saints, allied kings and second princesses had the brave man obediently accepting our words.

They were curious to pick up unbladed weapons, and when we showed them magic, they showed their age-appropriate cheerful faces and actively learned.

The adults who were summoned together, who were a hindrance at first, are not much of a threat now that they have been coaxed by the woman.

Last month, the ceremony to show off your bravery was greatly enlivened by a not-so-little amount of gold coins.

Everything was fine and the bishop who set it all up was smiling, both deep down and up close.

I thought at the time that this would work out.

But there was a shadow of a shadow in his step.

”You took your time.

I whispered my dissatisfaction with the brave man so that he wouldn't hear it, and I reflected on the fact that I had to go through all this trouble.

The empire has a tradition of meritocracy, even royalty, nobility and the people, unlike the theocracy of Trice, which believes in God since long ago.

Its military power, it has to be said, is outstanding among the great powers.

It was rumored that he would rule this continent with even greater military power after he became emperor of the current generation.

But talk of an empire was not a rumor.

This man in a position to know this confirms what he has learned from the information warfare that was going on beneath the surface.

And of course, beings above the man also know the story.

Among them, the information that the golem using the demon king's corpse was controlled by a golem is the very thing that sent a shiver through you.

The demon king is an existence that can only be defeated by a brave man.

The moves the empire will take from this information are like waterfalls flowing down from above.

Soon the top brass of each country, including Trice, received the information.

That is, the start of imperial military action.

If we continue to do nothing, we'll be overrun by an empire empowered by the devil king.

It's only natural that we should respond if we're sitting around waiting to die.

And among the movements of each country, the priesthood state of Trice will be the one that started to deal with it the earliest.

You have the most know-how against the existence of the demon king, and in addition, fortunately or perhaps fortunately, Trice had a saint who is regarded as the best of all time.

The priesthood state of Trice made a decision to summon a hero in the early stages.

And I'd say that decision paid off.

The pope of Trice, in order to make sure that the summoning of the heroes would be a success, worked hard to make an alliance with the kingdom that he had been promoting for some time.

As a result, the kingdom, which had been anxious about its future due to the empire's actions, responded by concluding the alliance ahead of schedule.

This means that the cooperation of the second princess of the kingdom, who is said to be the most famous mage of all time, will be added to the ceremony of summoning the heroes.

Humans are greedy.

If two of the greatest men of all time are gathered together to spend two countries' worth of money, the top brass of the two countries plan furthermore.

Summon an unprecedented number of heroes!

It's a gamble that would gain you a great deal of power if you win and lose the war, a gamble you would never take except under these circumstances, but both countries have decided it's necessary.

And it was a success.

You might say it has succeeded.

The event was no longer talked about as a divine revelation, but as a morale booster for the war effort in both countries.

Moreover, the demon king's soul sealed in the sacred mountain, the source of the magic you used, has also disappeared.

What's good for Trice is that the empire is not to be feared and the war is no longer unchecked.

The war between the three kingdoms is now a matter of seconds.

Just then a problem arose with the key player, a brave man.

To be more precise, we have begun to have problems.

......

Even though Trice has the know-how to become a demon king, he doesn't have the experience of raising a brave man at once.

You're going to have to pay attention to one person in the past, but this time your range of attention has expanded.

This is the price of increased strength.

The bishop thinks that he needs to look into the cause of the problem as a way to solve it, and so he glances at the inquisitor to see if he can move the inquisitor, but he stops himself from being premature.

But with that in mind, I'm taking care of my business and thinking about how the conversation with the brave men and women I'll meet later on will unfold.

This man is not built on faith alone, he has achieved a lot of accomplishments, and because of this position, there are many black rumors behind the scenes.

This summoning of the heroes is also considered as a way for you to rise higher.

And there is the matter in question that lies ahead.

So, the tramp who claimed to be from the land of the brave is in the room?

Yes, one of the priests is taking care of the matter, and he wants to meet with the brave men and those in charge.

”Is the story of the report true?

”There is no doubt that they know the secrets of the brave men and women, Bishop, this is

I know.

There is no way I would let a brave man, who is a state secret, and the cardinal or the pope, who are the brains of the country, meet with someone who would say such vain words.

There is no way in common sense.

It's understandable if the message comes from the king or someone close to him.

At least such a rude person would normally be taken out or punished as a heretic, and that's the end of the story.

But nevertheless, this time, a man of high rank, a bishop, is being called out and moved by a mumbling man, whose name is unknown to you in fact.

There are exceptions to everything.

We can't leave the man alone when he insinuates that he knows the secret of the brave man and the process of the summoning.

If the man is just a liar, fine, but the possibility of an eventuality compels you to act with caution.

As a result, a bishop of a certain rank, though not the top one, has been sent out.

The bishop receives an incomprehensible call just as he needs to solve the problem of the brave men, and his stomach is churning, even if it's unavoidable.

As you are considering the reeducation of the priest and the disposition of the man, you stop in front of the room where the knights are watching, and paste a gentle smile on your face.

The anger that had been shown earlier was covered by a thick skin in the face of the fact that there are those who called the man who is a bishop down the road.

”How's the knight ready?

We have two companies standing by in the vicinity.

”Call the Inquisition, too, because that man has some questions to ask.

”Is

I'm not going to return it for free.

The bishop let those words lurk in the background.

He doesn't even let one of the priests leave, but lets the knight who was standing guard at the front of the room open the door and go in.

This is a waiting room for people of a certain rank.

It's naturally highly confidential.

And apart from its original purpose, it also comes with the meaning that this is the best place to handle anything that happens here privately.

In such a room sits a man with his arms crossed and his eyes meditating as if ignoring the priest's words without touching the drink served in the room.

For a moment, the bishop's eyes are as sharp as a hawk's, but then they return to their normal, genial smile.

”Monsignor.

Good, I'll do all the talking. Are you the man who knows the secrets of the brave men?

...... not exactly, but that's the perception for now.

The man who had reacted to the bishop's entry opened his arms and stood up with a start.

From the sound of his voice, he was young.

And this certainly explains why the man who is a bishop was called.

A man who stands up and smiles is immediately recognizable as an anomaly.

He is dressed in black clothes with a luster I've never seen before, has black hair and black eyes, which is rare here, and above all, an enormous amount of magical power that you can feel directly.

At a glance, you can see many similarities to the brave men.

A premonition that this man might be a brave man as well, but he immediately rejects the possibility.

The summoning of heroes is the best-kept secret. The bishop who witnessed the summoning understands above all that it is not something that can be easily imitated.

You are wary of this soft-spoken young man and take your seat with the priest who was conversing with you just now behind you.

”Then let's hear what you have to say to find out who you are.

Another side END

Jiro side

One week after I infiltrated and gave Amelia the file, I was ready to go.

I'm ready to go and I'm ready to go.

Early in the morning, in Ithar, when the clouds cleared, everyone is on the move, so I put on my suit and went to the church, hiding my suit in my cloak to stay out of sight.

And I tried to make an appointment with a person of high rank, but as expected, I was turned away from the door.

It seems that I, who am not a nobleman, would not be able to meet him, let alone look at him from a distance.

I wanted to punch the nun (sister) in the face for being so polite and looking at me like I was a pitiful person, but I held back.

Then I remove my underhandedness and outer garment to reveal a tightly wrinkled suit and ask when I can meet someone who is related to the brave and has a high position.

You'll be able to see her dyed black hair and dark eyes together with her, and you can see her indescribable nun's expression as she waits for you, lowering her indignation.

The first man who appeared and claimed his position as a priest has responded, but from what I saw, he's probably a person of section chief in the company.

The role would be reconnaissance and to make a guess from the conversations that probe us.

Then I'm not going to give you any more information than necessary.

I'm going to pour magic power into the magic pattern to prepare for an emergency situation, give the minimum amount of information necessary and wait for the big fish to come out, just as if I were fishing.

You have to wait for an hour without touching the drink served as if you were fishing for a shrimp.

The result is a raccoon dog who sinks his fat body into a luxurious sofa with a luxurious cane, which I honestly think is a bit much.

It seems that I have used a shrimp to attract the raccoon dog.

I think in the pit of my stomach that his presence is more elevated than the middle management-like priest who was desperately trying to talk to you earlier.

I didn't expect to see such a high level of presence when I was trying to make an appointment.
