Around that time.

"...... I couldn't hear you very well, could you tell me again?"

The capital of the country bordering the Grand Duchy of Restofen. One of the large castles in the middle of it brought emergency information. Fragments of what happened during the day in the Grand Duchy of Restofen were gathered from military personnel lurking in the Grand Duchy of Restofen.

Here's what we put together.

"The Academy has developed a new weapon that can be used for ranged attacks. It's so powerful that it can lightly blow up a town in a single blow, and the range is presumed to be all over the continent... rather than this country.”

"...... I wonder what kind of things you're going to make at this time......"

The woman put her elbow on the desk and hugged her head. After all, the coup d 'état in the Grand Duchy of Restofen stemmed from their treachery, and now their country, the Rimenza Empire, is in a hostile relationship with the Central College of Restofen, where Grand Duke Josephine of the Grand Duchy of Restofen lurks. In other words, if the Academy discovers that they are hiding in the shadow of this rebellion, it is not surprising when the new weapon artillery bombardment comes.

"What do you know about that recruiter?"

"I will check it out, but I have lost contact with all those who were close to the academy, so at the moment..."

"I lost all contact with all of them?" What do you mean, everyone's been hit? "

Greetings, it seems that there are ferocious monsters inhabiting the forest of the academy, and the adventurers who hired them and the people below them have all returned alone.

"What the hell is going on at the academy..." Let me find out right away! No matter what you do! "

The woman seemed impatient and gave instructions to the minister. If they weren't, they wouldn't mind being attacked by the Academy's new weapon the next minute.

Her concern is not limited to attacks from outside the country.

"(I'm still keeping the information down, but if the emperor and the others find out, it'll be a big fuss......)"

Her father, the Emperor, other princes and princesses also knew that she was hiding in the Grand Duchy of Restofen. Therefore, if the Academy develops a new weapon and it becomes a threat to its own country, it is essential to pursue the responsibility of the "woman" who inadvertently stimulated it, rather than eliminating it beforehand. If it was normal, I shouldn't have beaten my neck. Well, it's unlikely they'll execute us, because we're in a position to do it.

"(Somehow put out the fire... no, that's right! Can you take the Academy's new weapon? If you think about it, this is more of a chance than a dilemma. The Academy is exhausted and shouldn't be too hard to drop right now, so you just need to take the new weapon before it moves. In that case, it would be a great achievement for our country, and restofen would fall into our hands!)"

As soon as I thought about it, the colour of sadness disappeared from the woman's face.

The opposing minister asked her, narrowing her eyes, whether she was aware of the woman's condition.

"... Your Highness, have you come up with another bad idea?"

"Huh? You know very well." It's the new weapon of the Academy, but can't you take it away? "

"... Is that what you came for?" But there is one problem. How can I keep the ferocious monster that lurks in the forest of the academy quiet? As long as we can manage that, we can also capture new weapons. ”

"You were talking about sending soldiers to Restofen, weren't you?" If you arm them completely and give them only the elite, maybe one or two of the monsters will do something about it? "

"If you engage in large-scale battles near the academy, the academy will know that you can't deny the possibility of being targeted by new weapons and Yozo...... but surely, if you get close just by elite, you won't find out right away. I understand. I'll arrange it for you right away.”

"Please, my neck is on your arm."

To the will.

Having said that, the minister lowered his head and walked away from the woman's room.

After that, the woman turned her gaze out of the window and exhaled a sigh--

"... I wonder if it's tide time..."

That's what I muttered, but no one listened to my voice.
