Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

Hartos, who visited the Phoenix family in the city of Mor in the Aquaristan region, was taken by Mocha and invited into the house. The Paulinos, Hartos' men, would not enter the house because they were ordered to wait outside the house. But with orders, they were in such a position to get right into it.

Hartos, who was invited into the house, lowered his back toward the room as he was guided. I knew it from the outside, but only the famous house known for "Phoenix's" and the house is bigger. But I guess the help of this house is quite a bit, as it is cleaned to be dust-free.

When Hartos thinks about it, Mocha asks.

"With tea?

"Yes, I don't mind"

"Yes."

Hartos figured out what he was gracefully trying to drink tea before the person he was going to take, but somehow, being in front of a mocha would make him feel better.

Since he had no choice, Hartos decided to explain the circumstances and encourage him to accompany him.

"Go ahead."

"Hi."

Mocha also lowers her back in front of Hartos when she offers her tea. Is that attitude, which I am not afraid of despite dealing with one of the thirteen apostles, just the Phoenix family?

Hartos, with his mouth on black tea, gets to the point quickly.

"Lord Mocha-Phoenix, what about the current tragedy of the Arsenian School of Magic?

"I know. You think we're in a lawless zone because of a disturbance in our chain of command?"

"Exactly. The Episcopal Church wants to cure the situation."

"I'd like you to go."

I started talking about the current state of the Arsenian School of Magic not to tell a public story about anything. Hartos tried to dilute his opponent's vigilance by raising a familiar subject.

That's how I get the empathy of the other person before requesting accompaniment. It's only any accompaniment, so I had to make fun of the familiar issues in order for the other side to voluntarily follow me.

"So can you cooperate?

"Specifically?

"Will you come with me to the Episcopal Church?

Mocha's face slightly distorts to the word. Apparently I couldn't keep calm with the demands that were too straightforward.

"Why am I in the Episcopal Church?

The Arsenian School of Magic is a school in the Aquaristan region, basically managed by a church in the Aquaristan region. Then it seems that it would be better to go to the church first and work out measures. But Hartos asked to accompany him to the Episcopal Church.

That makes Mocha suspicious.

"Actually, the Episcopal Church is supposed to take the lead on this one."

"The Episcopal Church? That's another important thing."

"Yeah. I thought the place was just a matter of country."

The Magic School, with only ten in the country, is an important magician training institution for the Kingdom of Leiria, as well as an important battle reinforcement venue. If one of them disappears from the hands of the Episcopal Church, the losses it will suffer are considerable.

Hartos' statement is certainly muscular. But that doesn't completely dispel Mocha's suspicions.

"Isn't there something else to solve if it becomes a problem at national level?

"Say?

Mocha's wrapping atmosphere changed.

"The devastating situation and third forces of the Thirteen Apostles, including the Holy Knight Arthur-One"

"Why did you..."

"It's nothing to be surprised about. Because the association discloses that information."

As Mocha put it, the people have already been informed by the Association about the current situation of the Thirteen Apostles and about the transfer of the governing power to the side of the Association. But that's not why Hartos asked, it's the word third force.

The appearance is considered a rebellion by the Thirteen Apostles, but what the Seven Wise Men grasp is that it concerns a third force led by a human being named Emris. However, a warrant remains in place for third forces, including Emris.

How does Mocha know that?

"Come on, why don't you get down to business?

"What's the real deal?

Obviously Hartos is bewildered by an attitude different from the first mocha. The mocha that was there seemed to Hartos as if he was not a mocha but a possessed being.

"Don't you guys want to take Mocha-Phoenix hostage?

"Duh, how could you do that..."

"Daimyo, don't you hate being manipulated by the association side"

Hartos' head gets confused. The woman in front of me knows something that she hasn't even been informed about. Hartos seemed that way.

"Hey, what..."

"Let's ask the other way. Why have we not been informed about premium magicians, including the Thunder God?

"Hey, what are you talking about..."

"The answer is simple. Because the association wanted to hide it intentionally."

"It's..."

"They are planting a negative image on only the Thirteenth Apostle to make them look like they are functioning properly"

Even the tone has changed, Mocha. If it was something that knew the original mocha, you would soon have realized it was someone else, but Haltos, who doesn't know the usual mocha, thinks it's the nature of the mocha.

"Daimyo, I guess the Seven Wise Men are trying to hit a one-shot reversal hand?

"A one-shot reversal...?

Hartos, who hasn't been so informed, can't hide his confusion. I couldn't understand how I was more familiar with Mocha, a common man, when he said he was one of the thirteen apostles serving the Seven Wise Men.

"Seven Wise Men Need More Superior People To Contain The Association"

"I can't believe I'm superior to the Seven Wise Men..."

The Seven Wise Men are the substantial top of the line to unite this country. I don't know Hartos exists above that. No, if it's to be exact, should I say I forgot?

Mocha smiles slightly.

"You're here, alone. Twenty years ago."

"No way, goddess Leena-Maria!?

"That blood relationship, to be exact. What they want is the blood of the goddess."

"You think it's Goddess blood?

"Yes. A special force that can only be used for goddesses. That's what they want."

Hartos is not as simple as honestly believing the truth put on him by Mocha. But her words are clear and understandable. I don't know why the Seven Wise Men want Mocha's figure, but it seems true that taking her will bring strength back to the Episcopal Church.

Then Hartos' job is still to take Mocha with him.

"If you know that much, you're coming with me, right?

"What are you talking about"

"What?"

Hartos that word comes up about Mocha's words.

"Of course you're determined to say no."

"Why..."

"The Seven Wise Men are the ones who are only interested in their power. Who obeys them like that?"

"Then we'll have to take them with strength?

"I don't mind."

There was a loud explosion outside the house when Mocha grinned.
