The “Great Water Games”, which suddenly began, were very exciting, but they ended just a few moments later.

It's not stopping my teeth, and I think I'm going to play all the time.

It was so much fun.

I feel like I've enjoyed marine sports.

I removed it from the "wave storage" and behaved like a variety of "fruit juice" to everyone on the island.

"Fruit cider" divided by carbonated drinks.

In a chat while drinking juice, Albida found out that my next destination was the Principality of Artemina and gave me information about the Eastern Small States.

Albida was only the daughter of the Marquis of Sirene, the superior aristocracy of the Kingdom of Persephone, and was somewhat familiar with the situation in the small Eastern States.

According to information held by Bonkland, who was the next Lord to rebel in the Marquis of Cobalt, East Kokuni County is in a dire situation.

It seems likely that there will be a war.

At the heart of this is the Principality of Apollonia.

The "Principality of Apollonia" seems to be a rich and powerful country in the small Eastern group alongside the "Principality of Artemina".

Both countries seem to have a labyrinth and a strong fiscal base that is not found in any other group of small countries.

The Adventurer Alliance, which manages the Labyrinth, is both independent of the state, but it seems that most of the "Magic Cores" that can be removed from monsters can be found in the state.

The purchase of "Magic Core" seems to be a national business.

The Adventurer Alliance buys from the Adventurer, but it's supposed to keep a fixed percentage in the country.

In fact, it seems that an arrangement has been made to pay the national government a fee for the "Magic Core" other than the amount recognized as part of the "Adventurer Alliance".

As for the monster material, there are no regulations from the state, so it seems that you can dispose of what you bought in the Adventurer Guild.

However, it seems that popular materials are sometimes sold to chambers of commerce that are more expensive than the Adventurer Alliance.

As long as the labyrinth is in operation and the adventurers are active in both countries, it seems that the "Magic Core" has been stably acquired, and there is no trouble with national revenue.

The value of the "Magic Core" in this world is a valuable material that combines crude oil and rare metal in my image.

Just because it has a luxurious labyrinth will moisturize the country.

Both countries seem to be selling "Magic Core" to neighboring countries.

While saying that the "Magic Core Core" can be harvested by defeating monsters, it is difficult to secure a large number of them stably, so both countries exporting it will inevitably become more influential within the small Eastern group.

Originally in such a situation, the "Principality of Artemina" has recently become quite rough, and it seems to be taking a tough stance towards the surrounding countries.

Information is circulating that we are preparing to unify the small eastern group, and the whole group is in a state of tension.

The "Apollonian Principality", which had grasped this information as early as possible, appeared to have responded and tried to negotiate on a diplomatic route.

But it doesn't seem like we have a war system in place.

Judging by this information, the heart of this stinky move can be said to be the 'Principality of Artemina'.

Well, the information Albida has is information traveling through the Kingdom of Persephone and seems to come from the Principality of Apollonia, so I don't know if it is objective and accurate.

It seems that the "Apollonian Principality" is cooperating with the "Hermes Trade Union", which in time of war exerts its power as a war merchant, and the "Persephone Kingdom", which has deep relations with its neighbors.

And under the influence of the 'Principality of Artemina', it is the 'Kingdom of Hestia' that I think will be on my side.

The "Hestian Kingdom" is located between the "Principality of Artemina" and the "Principality of Apollonia", so it seems likely to be a battlefield.

The "Kingdom of Demetrium" on the west side of the "Principality of Artemina" seems to be an unavoidable situation because it will be isolated if the "Principality of Artemina" is not followed.

Therefore, he seems to be on the side of the 'Principality of Artemina'.

"Principality of Apollonia, Kingdom of Persephone, Republic of Hermes Trade Union" vs "Principality of Artemina, Kingdom of Hestia, Kingdom of Demetrel".

They say there is another country in the Eastern Small States called the Kingdom of Ares.

It seems that the Kingdom of Ares is bordered by the Principality of Apollonia and the Kingdom of Hestia.

It seems to be located on the northern side of the Apollonian Principality and on the eastern side of the Hestian Kingdom.

It is said that this country is not the smallest and most powerful of the small Eastern countries, but it is said to be perfectly neutral.

According to Mr. Albida, it is true that he lacks national power and cannot participate in wars rather than perfecting neutrality.

There seems to be an urgent situation in which there may soon be a war on the border between the 'Kingdom of Hestia' and the 'Principality of Apollonia'.

"Does Albida have a route to get information about the Eastern Small States?"

Albida asked with anticipation, as she seemed to be strong on the international scene, not on the marquis but on the boxed daughter.

If there's a way to get information, I'd like to gather as much information as possible.

"I used to try to get information, but... now that I'm out there... it's a difficult situation.It's also a tough situation for me and my people to enter the Kingdom of Persephone...I would like to help, but I think it will be difficult soon. "

Mr. Albida answered his apologies.

"No, it's fine. I was just wondering if I could get some information...."

"Um... do you still need information about the Eastern Small States?"

"Yes, I don't want a war if possible....."

"Really? Then... I'll try to do something about it.I just got admitted to the Fairy Chamber of Commerce... but if I don't, I think I'll go off the coast of the Kingdom of Persephone and off the coast of the Helmets Federation of Trade.In the process, while hunting pirates, we interact with merchant ships to acquire information.And... I know some nobles from the Principality of Apollonia... so I'll see if I can get in touch with them. "

Albida offered me such an offer.

"Thank you, but don't push it.Especially in the Kingdom of Persephone, you may be being chased.Regardless of the activities at sea, I think it's better not to be impossible to get into the country. "

"I know. I'll be very careful."

That's how Albida lowered her head.

You want to help us, but I want you to be careful not to risk it.

And he said he'd hunt pirates... but I think it's pretty dangerous if you think about it normally.

Albida-san has the momentum to leave right away... but I'm a little worried, so I'll have George and the team join us later as insurance.

There are many Purifiers who have become my friends in this sea, so I may be able to escort them secretly.
