Seven days after the political sects left Heirkwalt.

- This is Toyota Darms Aldan.

This country has been called the 'Toyota' since it was rebuilt.

The reason for this lies mainly in the number of this people who are among the best in the seven countries of Hachi.

And the vastness of the territory.

The people of this country are never wealthy.

But only those who want to be in this country.

The evidence overflowed the town with a smile.

Schneizel's policy has not left those in need of food alone.

There are also numerous orphanages, and in every sense it can be said that there is no “hunger” in this country.

The political sect had a view of the country through the window, but had a particularly emotional look.

My eyes are rough and show no interest at all.

Schneizel stared at the side of it with a rugged look.

"Nito, the blood of the merciful... can you tell us a little about what happened in that town?

Francesca spoke so lightly that she did not go into details.

Schneizel has been concerned about one incident in Raghu since then.

"What? Do you care?

Then, with a strange face, Schneizel answered.

"... there are many mysteries in that organization. I don't know the reality of this, and I don't know if it's because of the organization that has recently been revealed here, but I hear that those who become Ankh Amadeus rarely show their faces. But... someday I feel like I'm gonna have to deal with it."

The blood of the merciful is the tissue that has been revealed here recently.

I wasn't there at least two months ago.

In other words, it can be considered an organization formed within that period and expanded so far.

But I'm saying it's a big deal, but in the end, I don't know what's going on.

"Respond? What do you mean? Are you going to start a war, too?

"It's outrageous! We don't want war, but if the rumors are true, we can't leave them alone. In the future... No, I don't know yet..."

As king, I assured you I avoided Schneizer, but the look on his face was a harsh one.

Primarily, Inquiry had determined them to be dangerous.

"Huh... that's tough, huh? Does a king need to be concerned even at rumor level?

"depending on the case"

"I mean, in that case," you mean Anc Amadeus?

"It could be that way."

Then the political ministry silenced, and answered.

It's about what happened in that town.

Francesca didn't even like to talk.

"I was inciting a suicide volunteer..."

"... I see"

Schneizel was silent for a moment, and convinced.

"Speak of killing yourself as if it were the right thing to do," he said to the woman, "don't run away."

……

"As a result, the woman jumped, but, well, there was nothing else in her life. But, uh... do you have a speech?

"Speech?"

"Oh. Preach to the crowd...... I'm not sure, but let's just make it a speech. That seems to have made Toa feel a little sick. I wasn't sure, either, but if you mean religion, isn't that what you mean? Philosophy or teaching…"

Then Schneizel sighs as he was convinced.

It was a fragmentary explanation, but "religion," "blood of the merciful," and "Anc Amadeus".

If I added Nito's explanation to those words, I could imagine what happened first and foremost.

But it's not like someone died.

Then it's not like making it a problem.

That town is, so to speak, a lawless zone. Not a territory controlled by anyone.

If so, then Schneizel should not be forced to be involved as a king, above and beyond the need to judge.

"I see...... it still seems unusual not least"

Schneizel had an unexpected look as she stroked her white jaw.

"Are you going to go to the controls, too?

"Facts are essential to list as an agenda. But if we have something to do with it in any way, maybe we shouldn't let it go then. The status quo is unquestionable."

An ambiguous response.

"Phew... it's a politician's answer"

sarcasm, and a political sect looking out the window again.

But there's nothing there that I want to see.

But for the past seven days, it seemed like the political sect had been looking out and thinking about something.

"What did your Lord think?

Schneizel was persistent.

But as a king, I wanted to touch Nito's thoughts.

I guess that's all you're wary of Nito.

The political sect answers with an eye out the window.

"... I don't really like being long. I'm not really into people's stories. So I don't really understand what others think. The less interested, the less in my head. I mean, I'm on my own. I'm only interested in myself. So I'm always in conversation with myself... and I'm not interested in religion either. And for charity, too?

But that doesn't mean you answered Schneizel's question.

Schneizel asked about something else.

Mainly because I saw the organization, but what do you think about it?

The intention is that if something happens to Nito someday, it could be a threat.

I wanted to know Nito's purpose and future possibilities, including his ideas.

Then Schneizel waited for Nito's words.

And the political ministry understands Schneizel's will halfway through.

The king who doubts himself is asking about the organization.

I knew what I was up to.

The political sect, as always, looks out at the town and answers slowly.

"Right...... I like freedom. I just want to be adventurous about this world. No one will tie you up. I just want to travel with my favorite people I can trust. That's all..."

……

That must have been an unexpected answer for Schneizel.

I rounded my eyes and was just even surprised.

Then Schneizel asks.

"An organization is not less of a force. Either way, it can be. If that were to be the kind of" charity "that surrounds the faithful, one day their power would swell and become untouchable. Your Lord is going to be a 'country' in 'individuals', but you're not interested in that kind of thing?

"Interested? Me?

"Uhm."

"No... what if I belong to an organization? Lose your freedom on purpose, so what do you want? I don't like it. I don't want to belong anywhere. This' archdeacon 'because... well, this is like a decoration, so I don't mind, but for now, I'm not interested. I don't even want to be more well-known than I need to be. There's only gonna be more fences, right? That's what relationships are for, isn't it?

There are many strange contradictions in the emotions of the political sect.

While I want to be understood, I have contradictory feelings that I don't want to be known in the depths of my mind.

And it was also fear.

The more people who know themselves, the heavier it will be on their minds and one day they will crush their political ministry.

Is it the harm of being too used to loneliness?

Therefore, the political sect tended to prefer darkness.

Maybe that's why they lived in that dungeon.

"So... what the hell did your Lord gain that power for?

"Power?..."

Nito knows.

that Schneizel doubts himself.

But this question made me realize it again.

But if you're suspicious, it doesn't matter to Nito.

"That's why I told you. An adventure."

"Adventure, you say?

If I tell you, that's too childish an answer.

But Schneizel also knew it wasn't a lie.

"Oh, because I'm an adventurer, huh? An adventurer dreams of adventure, what's wrong?

"I'm not saying it's bad, but then it's too..."

Schneizel continued to have unexpected answers, just bewildered.

Schneizel is certainly somewhere different from the other kings.

The existence of this rich country with no gaps in the "happiness” thing proved it.

But after touching the world too much, it was stained.

Compared to other “kings," they are far more pure and clever personages, but they don't remember the "purity" that people are supposed to have.

It was not because I was a king, but because I could no longer be so pure as a "person who lived for some time” before that.

"Can't you trust me? But I'm simpler than you think, right?

However, the word changed my impression of the person "Nito.”

"Well... your Lord is unexpectedly... an unexpected magician"

"What?"

"Never mind, it's an old sentiment"

It could be more of a child than a child.

The political sect was only pure.

Schneizel understood that, although slightly.

Then the carriage arrived in front of the royal castle.

When the butler opened the door, there was a large number of guards outside.

"Hey, Schneizel? I wanted to ask you, why is the king of Yaki“ letting go "of tompearls and nuts? Why don't you take any precautions? On the other hand, I can't even see that sign?

……

Schneizel then stopped, sending his gaze to the soldiers outside.

"It's..."

There will be hard things to say to the king, too.

But Schneizel didn't want to lie as much as possible.

"It would be the only, darkness for this country..."

"Darkness?... okay? That's what the king said lightly?

"I don't mind. I'm talking now as Schneizel."

Schneizel then replied with a serious look.

"Regardless, I don't have a good impression on the two of them. But as the king of Darms-Aldan, I will not raise my head to the king of Hachi."

"Can't you get your head up? What's that supposed to mean? You guys are supposed to be equal, right?

"It was when the current emperor Uranos was still king of Darms-Aldan."

"... what?! What did you say? Is he the king of Darms-Aldan?!

"What? You don't know? Your Lord's information is full of holes, isn't it? More than 20 years ago, he was the king of Darms-Aldan. After he became the husband of my sister Gaia, he reigned. Now, that country where the Darmskale Empire reigns is where it was originally Darmsaldan."

But Uranos lost Gaia, and after a while, he left only his three sons, and banished all others from the country.

And the present Darmskale Empire is born, but the exiled Darmsaldans were lost in the open for some time.

"And it is the current King of the Eight Kings who helped us like that. With their support we have built a new kingdom in this land, and I reigned king. And it was this' Toyota Derms Aldan 'that was born at the end of it. This abundance is not due to my power. The late King Artemias, and the fathers of the kings of Tompearl and Nuts, which the LORD hath said now. We could build a nation with their help."

"Is that why you can't get your head up? Well... I see..."

I'm not convinced.

Then the political sect changed the story.

"Why did they help you? Using money on purpose to build a country from scratch again isn't common, is it? That's all I needed."

The political sect still doesn't know.

But there's definitely some darkness there, and someone else's convenience.

That's all I knew, even in the present political sect.

"To preserve the common sense of this continent. You can call it order. So much so that the existence of the" King of the Eight Kings "has to be absolute. There must never be, for example, a lack of one country"

"I see. So Artemias' doom means he's pretty painful? You guys.

right now, there's seven of us, right?

"... right... let's keep it a state secret about that. Sooner or later, we have to strike, but we don't know what's going on."

With that said, it brings a snort, and then Schneizel goes down outside the carriage.

From that look I could see the feeling of fatigue.

And the political ministry, in turn, went outside the carriage.

"Hachi" is the dragon that used to appear in this world.

A dragon that spits fire from seven necks in seven directions at the same time.

And the eight kings of the time, between the neck and the neck of their dragons, saw the 'wheel'.

Hence "Hachi".

In other words, one 'wheel' is now in a lost state.

That meant, for them, an obvious weakening.

――――

- Derms Aldan: The Castle of the Toyotomi King

It's a white castle everywhere.

But if one thing is different, it's scale.

Including the country, the castle was vast in size.

And I peered behind the carriage, and there I saw a large staircase leading downstairs.

The carriage went through a dedicated passage prepared next to it and seemed to have come this far.

Though the winding private passage is far compared to a straight stretched staircase, it would not be possible to go up this staircase by carriage with a royal carriage on boulders.

As they got off the carriage, the political ministers took a deep breath and looked up at the royal castle in front of them.

"The king's castle... if you say different worlds, it's a castle, isn't it? Whenever you look at it, it's a roll."

"Really? It looks like a castle everywhere?

Toa doesn't show much interest in something called a castle because she is a princess.

"Does Master Nito want a castle?

"Want it?......"

Then the political ministry, to Suphilia's enquiry, thinks a little bit for some reason.

"A castle... I never thought about it if I said so..."

A political sect thinking of something with a finger on his lip.

The three looked at the figure in wonder.

"Let's lead everyone to the hall!

Then while he is king, Schneizel invites him with a stupid big voice.

Francesca and Dory went past beside the four on a small run.

"I just need a letter of recommendation. Let's stop by and get right to town."

Nito then walks out with a troublesome look on his face, and the three follow behind him.

And after this, I'm going to meet a certain nostalgia, but I'm not even anticipating a political sect right now.

And that will shape the future of the political sect...

That said, I can also say that that was only trivial.

Because it all depended on the choice of political sect in the first place.
