Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

You need to follow several rituals in order to be a brave man.

In the case of the current Mid-Eden Republic

1, Approval by Parliament

2. Notifications to neighbouring countries

3, Baptism and greetings in the National Church

4, Appointment from the Chair

is.

Currently Lucia was in the stage of finishing 1 and 2, and later baptized by the Pope in a church in the King's City... well, in a nutshell, only to leave behind the ritual of receiving thankful words.

It should be noted that for 4, we just need to get Theresa or Cortex approval, so I don't care at this time.

... In short, it has already been about three days since the Congress was held to make Lucia a brave man, and it was about time that the commander of the Express delivered by the Transfer Wizard arrived in the neighbouring country.

... to rephrase,

"Well... it's been a long time since I've been here, but things have changed a lot..."

... enough time for an uninvited guest (King Endelusia) to arrive.

"... Um... who is it ~?

Transfer magic to the Chancellor's Office (formerly the King's Office) (?) Cortex can't hide the confusion from an unidentified young man who suddenly appeared in

It should not be possible to get directly into the chancellor's office using transfer magic because of the inherent anti-transfer link between the urban junction and the royal castle, but it seems to have nothing to do with King Endelusia.

"Hmm? What? Dear Teresa... Isn't that right? Shadow Warrior?"

It seems that the identity has been found out because of the way the Cortex spoke of the earth to King Endelusia, who suddenly appeared.

"... yes. You're right, I'm Teresa's shadow fighter. Please call me Cortex."

"Hmm. So, Lord Cortex. Is there no Mrs Waltz here?

"Oh... Master Waltz is out of his seat right now"

It should be noted that I have not been in contact with Waltz for about a week in total.

"Right... too bad. Then suppose we go home..."

"Um, who are you?

"Hmm? Oh, you didn't say. I'm Alcoa F. Enders. He's the king of our neighbor Endersia."

Cortex smiles at his exposure without even showing a much surprised look.

"Were you ~. Good luck with this from far away. Your sister Waltz told me about you."

"Hmm? What the hell kind of word is that? You finally got me engaged, you know?

To King Endelusia, who runs such a barbaric thing, Cortex smiled, mouthing a message from Waltz.

"... this is your graveyard."

"What?"

Cortex then orders that the receiver provided under the chairman's desk be placed on his mouth.

"All personnel, Class I combat placement. Maltai A03 confirmation. Non-combatants should begin evacuation to the evacuation trenches immediately. This decree will continue until the expulsion or confirmation of the killing of Maltai... '

"Hey..."

"... VADS (ground-to-air interception system), activated at 10% occupancy. FCS, Automatic Tracking Mode '

When Cortex told him that,

Wynn...

... A mysterious object appears on the walls surrounding the king's capital, like a white drum can and a few sticks that rotate from its bottom, about 50 planes.

... so-called Gatling guns for local defense.

And the next moment,

Bubble, bubble, bubble...

I blew a small flame, emitting a missing sound during that time.

... Especially though the flames aren't the only ones blowing.

Doggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!

A mass of tungsten-orihalcon alloy, 20 mm thick and 102 mm long, flew relentlessly through the wall of the chancellor's office...

"The room is worn out, let Atlas fix it later ~"

... Cortex, who is supposed to be shot himself, utterly intact, squeals forward at the meat chunks rolling on the ground.

"In your sister's story, you said you'd be back soon ~. Julia ~?"

"Yes, Master Cortex"

Somehow Julia emerged from the closet that was in the chancellor's office.

... Apparently, it's connected to another room somewhere.

"Please discard it in the incinerator as combustible waste"

"Yes, sir."

Normally, treating meat chunks that have become in such a state that they can also be expressed in words should be quite a load on the spirit, but Julia didn't even show how she suffered from it... rather she was pleased and packed it into a body bag.

"... even this, you'll be resurrected ~"

... but inside the incinerator at the Mid-Eden Central Waste Disposal Plant, it would.

It should be noted that this Waste Disposal Facility in Wangdu was built by the hands of the Waltz.

Skip the detailed explanation... but in short, it was almost equivalent to the garbage incineration system in the modern world, which is not an exaggeration.

In short, it is a system that burns at ultra-high temperatures without leaving harmful substances behind.

... Will King Endelusia be able to survive among the incinerators that turn all waste into carbon dioxide or ash...

"... is Lucia's christening ceremony tomorrow ~"

After Julia was gone, Cortex shrugged small as she quietly sat back in the chair where she managed to sit.

"In the end, you couldn't stop the ritual ~...... as long as your sister is here..."

... After squealing like that, the expression disappears from Cortex's face.

Second, Cortex thinks about Lucia differently and has a sinister face.

And after a while,

"... well, now ~... inside your sister in this world, let's say it's good ~"

And when he groaned, he returned to her face with a gentle expression.

Concon

When Cortex returned to his usual look, the chancellor's office door was slammed.

"Excuse me."

It was Yuki, the messenger of the Boleas Empire, who appeared.

She called for Cortex to talk about Lucia before King Endelusia arrived.

"Something, much noise outside...?!

And seeing the tragedy inside the chancellor's office, she solidified with her eyes open.

"... never mind. I have a little customer and I just had a treat ~"

Apparently Yuki said that Cortex was the customer (?) He fights them and thinks they created a bloody environment around them, a phrase that made the room unscrupulous.

It's not a mistake, though.

"So, about the messenger to the Boreas Empire..."

When Cortex cuts it out, Yuki also turns his head on, which makes him a strange face.

"Lucia... are you talking about your brave certification?

"Yes. What do you think ~? After all, as a demonic nation, would you be resistant to accepting brave men as messengers?

"No. Master Sirius is a tolerant man, so even if the messenger is a brave man, I don't think there's a problem unless you point the blade at him"

"Of course, even if Master Sirius is certified as the Demon King, there's nothing like letting Lucia point the blade at you ~"

"I guess so..."

Yuki turns again to the tragedy around her, returning words like a half-empty reply.

Apparently, the Cortex in front of her (Speaker Mid-Eden) looks more threatening to her, not knowing the exact strength of Lucia's magic.

"... but are you sure? After assuming the position of brave man, immediately send him to the Demon King..."

Normally, there should be a lot of things you have to do, such as various ceremonies and presentations to the King's people...

"Yes. Rather, to this country until the rooting is over ~... no, nothing"

"Ha..."

"So, as planned, we'll leave the day after tomorrow, please ~?

"... okay"

Thus, the dispatch of the envoys was to take place as planned.

That night.

"King Merclio (...) King of kingdoms hungry..." Dear Canopus?!

"Oh, everyone. I'm sorry to bother you."

Canopus returns to King's Capital with dignitaries and strellas from the Kingdom of Merclio (?) I did.

"But I'm not, as you can see, a magician in this country. He is the king of Merclio. I'm sorry, but it would be helpful if you responded to those"

"Father? I was wondering if I should refrain from saying anything like that."

"... that's why. Teresa wants you to know more."

"Ha..."

Another country, a delegation, arrived when the royal castle gatekeepers were troubled to respond.

"The Kingdom of Endelusia, Delegates, a line of greetings..."

"I am sorry, but the King is currently busy with his executive duties. I, Cumras, the Chancellor, will be representing the King to present the birth of a new brave man in Mid-Eden"

It should be noted that King Endelusia's location... goes without saying.

Thus, the heads of the two great powers representing the continent and the envoys of the small (partly friendly) countries who could travel in a short time using metamagic gathered in Mid-Eden.

... Yes, all but one of the actors came together...
