Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... so I don't need anything golden... or rather pay, let me develop the resources of this country"

…………

Inside the Royal Castle conference room where Cortex and Teresa remained, even after the Waltz left, they were in the middle of confusion.

They were now discussing the rewards of cooperation… which seemed incomprehensible to those on Orija's side.

If you describe it more directly… I don't know what Cortex (Mid Eden) is up to.

Especially for those on the Mid-Eden side, Cortex often doesn't know what he's thinking, so if it's the first people he meets today, it's only natural that he doesn't know.

"You want me to develop resources... what the hell does that mean?

inquired was the Minister of Finance, who had fattened his private clothes with funds for the war.

Originally he seemed to have barely escaped the death penalty because, immediately, the beheading sentence should also be a good place...... almost all those who were on the spot would be sentenced to death and the Orija government would no longer be able to stand.

In response to his question like that, Cortex...

"See page 54 of the handout for more information.... Oh, I made a mistake ~. This page is a list of corrupt people and their contents ~"

"" "What?!

"Correctly, see page 1154"

and rush and jab (straight?) After giving, I started talking about why.

"Gold, silver, jewelry, etc. ~... you don't need that. You're on time, and if you want to make it, you can make it."

"" "What..." "

"What we at Mid-Eden crave is tons of iron, copper, voxes, coal and oil, plus the low metals and sulphur found in magma flowing through the Great River.... Oh, for once, I'll tell you ~, how we use it for what is useless just to find out ~? (I just checked, for the next few hundred years, it shouldn't be usable ~)"

…………

Olija's government officials think with their heads to that word of Cortex.

Her words suggested that if she returned the back, there would be a sleeping chance in her own territory that could be in her country's interest… and that everyone who was on the spot seemed to have felt that.

But of energy resources such as coal and petroleum and the ore that feeds on aluminium such as voxes… without them knowing about its existence and use in the first place….

I didn't seem to understand why Mid-Eden was demanding them, no matter how disturbing their heads.

"Well, well, don't think so hard. I will pay properly for what I mine, and I will never do anything wrong with Olija ~" chuckles

"(The more you listen to Cole, the more you just sound like you're inviting him into a trap...)"

and Teresa, next to Cortex, who speaks sweet words to the Orija government officials, floating a poker face, yet seemingly bewildered inside.

She said she was worried about Olija's future...

"... Ladies and gentlemen? What's bothering you?

Beatrice, who was sitting in an empty seat, accidentally uttered those words to senior government officials who had a seemingly difficult look on the spot.

"It's not a question of how we can do this, it's a semi-enforced demand from Mid-Eden, right? There's no longer room for debate..."

In contrast, it was Clark, the head of the Foreign Office, who opened his mouth.

"But, princess. If we don't scrutinize what content is worth, it will be our country that will suffer pain later, won't it? We should accept things and say things that are unacceptable are clear and unacceptable."

Even with that word... but Beatrice never changed his attitude.

"If you're in a position to claim that, then so be it. As for the more detailed story, it should be detailed in the material here, so you just have to check it out later, as much as you like, as empty a hole. It doesn't mean I have to respond right here... But maybe today is the last time Master Cortex and Teresa are here? So, instead of discussing whether or not there's a pitfall in what's written there, we shouldn't be discussing what Olija and Mid-Eden should do from now on? That way you know what they're thinking… I think so."

Whereas

…………

and keep your mouth shut, Clark, how you think.

Beatrice's words made sense, and apparently he decided to rethink the significance of this meeting.

Cortex and Teresa, on the other hand, seemed to agree with that.

"Indeed, the demands on this side are all written in that dossier. And as Princess Beatrice Wang said, I'm not asking you to answer anything immediately. If Eccleria can attack me and get an answer by the time I get here ~?

"Mm-hmm. I'll take the liberty of getting ready here, so judgment is critical, but it's not a problem? Well, if I bankrupt this story on the earthen field, I might have to get you prepared for it.

I heard those two words, those on the spot.

…………

He seemed to sigh all together and small with a soothing look on his face somewhere.

That said, it didn't make any difference that my face was blue.

Then Cortex tried to change the subject, sending words to a man who was sitting in a fine chair at the far back of the desk in front of him… and tried to ask for his words.

"... so His Majesty King Olija ~? Recently, my country was reborn from King Mid-Eden (...) Country (...) to Mid-Eden Total (...) Japan (...) Country (...), but this is an opportunity and would you like to discuss the relationship between the two countries ~?

"Hmm. That's what I think t"

and, when King Olija opened his mouth, it was untimely,

Pippy, pippy, pippy......

Such an electronic sound can be heard from nowhere.

I wonder where the hell the sound I heard it from can be inferred from Cortex's words like this, which look at the little band I put on my arm.

"Whoa, it's time for our next meeting. I will now have to go to Chancellor Cumulus of Endelusia and discuss the treatment of King Endelus. So I'll ask you later ~? Concubine ~?"

"What?! My concubine?!

"Good day, everyone ~"

Then take a seat, go to the front of the conference room window that leads to the balcony, and Cortex touches the glass of the window directly, not the handle.

Then when she thinks of something there...

Bun......

Suddenly I heard such a low noise and only her touched windows stained black...

Gachari......

And the other side of that window she opened was… leading to the interior of a strangely modern design building that I had never seen.

Apparently, this is the effect of her developed magic prop, which is an alternative to metastatic magic.

Then Cortex, once he looked back, left only a laugh on the spot...

Gachari......

And he departed from Olijah, refreshed.

Then, as usual, with the town outside… Then, seeing that sight back in the original window, reflecting the appearance of enormous energy,

"" "………" "Me?"

and clever Olija government officials with their mouths open.

So there is a saying that advanced science cannot be distinguished from magic, but then what the hell does advanced magic look like...

If they're solidifying there right now... maybe they know the answer to that.
