Continental Hero Senki
Souvenir effects
It was on 9 July that Mr Fine returned to Krakow.
And now, me and her are facing each other in the Governor's office reception room. Oh, the coffee Savitsky let me in is still bitter today. Delicious but bitter.
I also thought it would be hard to see her because there was so much going on in Castelletto... but this time she came here not to say hello to Krakow's return, but to exchange information. I mean, Mr. Feene seemed like Mr. Feene, and he was a sober intelligence officer as usual.
This exchange of information, unlike before, also has great advantages on the Silesian side. Carlsbert An intelligence network within Carlsbert built through the Civil War, and a series of intelligence gatherings using prisoners against the Eastern Continental Empire, as well as a stepping stone in building an intelligence network. It's nice to be able to do information activities that are still large and informative, but do not rely on Ostmarc.
"Besides, we've lost our source, the Minister of the Interior of the Eastern Empire."
"...?
"Leaving May 28, Viscount Yuspov, Interior Minister of the Eastern Continental Empire, died in an unfortunate accident"
With a slightly scary grin, Ms Fine conveyed the obituary of a minister from a neighbouring country. I can easily imagine what this means.
"Cause of death?
"In an official statement by the Imperial Government, it is' burned to death '. A fire broke out at the Viscount Yuspov residence around 22.30 p.m. on the night of May 28. Despite his diligent fire extinguishing activities, Viscount Yuspov, who was in the mansion, was burned to death. And five unidentified bodies were found. Probably his wife and two children, the closest or butler who served the Viscount…"
"Whoa, whoa, the imperial government announced in a lot of detail, didn't it?
"No, with the ability of our Ostmarc Ministry of Information, Part IV, it will be as easy as this."
Mocking herself, she praised her colleagues. This is already confirmed.
Mr Fine said it a long time ago. He said that the main activities of the Ministry of Information were entrusted to four departments.
Part I, which is responsible for external information activities; Part II, which is responsible for domestic information activities; Part III, which provides a multilateral and comprehensive analysis of the information gathered by Parts I and II; and Part IV, which carries out work activities at home and abroad under that information.
And now she praised part four, not part one. I mean, I guess that's what it is.
How did you do it? This is easy too.
To prevent confidential leaks, to avoid political problems when you have been in exile. There may be a lot more, but this will be enough.
... apparently Ostmarc shouldn't turn to the enemy. Especially for Uncle Linz. No, I'm really scared.
"Part IV and I seem to have talented people. I'd like to see you."
"I'm sure the director of Part IV will be delighted. 'Cause I think it's gonna be a touching reunion."
Couscous and Mr. Feene laughed and showed him.
Inspiring reunion? So you're saying it's someone I know?
There are surprisingly few people in Ostmarc I know. About Mr Feene, Mr Claudia, Uncle Linz, Mr Coudenhoff, Baron Jendolyn, Mr Berkson and Mr Anda. If you haven't seen him in a while, you'll say Baron Jendolyn and Mr. Anda, but I'm not saying that Baron Jendolyn is a profound friend, and Mr. Anda is not worthy of his abilities.
Who will it be......
Mr. Feene gave me a hint that you felt such a secret doubt about me.
"Major Yusef once referred to the Director of Division IV as a 'souvenir'."
"Souvenirs......?
"Yep. After the civil war in neighbouring countries."
…………
Uh... wait a minute. Because I remember something terribly unpleasant right now, or someone I don't like.
"He's not a former lieutenant general, a former capital defense commander, exposed to his neck after the civil war, is he?
"He's a former lieutenant general, a former capital defense commander, who was exposed to death after the civil war ended, right? I've changed my name."
………… Yeah, foreword withdrawn. I definitely don't want to meet anyone in Part IV.
It would be too ingenious to work on that guy. Besides, it's not at all the same as it was during the civil war. It's also relentless towards women and children. There will be no one more terrible.
"And Major, I have a message from its Director of Division IV, Kurt Versbach,"
"I don't want to hear it."
"That said, you can't not not not tell"
Mr. Fine recited it in his usual chilling voice when he took out a small piece of paper about the note paper from his nostalgia.
"'I remember being exposed to my neck for 24 hours. Let's take it easy when we get another chance."
Scary. Scary of the ploy drifting from context.
"…………… Mr. Fine"
"What is it?
"This is gonna kill me for sure, isn't it?
"It's okay. I'll protect you."
Mr Fine declared so with a true face. Before I made that declaration, I wanted an undertaking that I would not be killed if I met the Director of the Fourth Division......
You can't go to Esterburg for a while.
"That's troublesome. I'd like to report your marriage to your father as soon as possible."
No, I really don't want to go.
