175 words: "About the quality of talent and where it goes"
"The Kingdom of Mooseg has recently begun exporting a wealth of mineral resources to the Western continent from the countries of the northern continent that it has placed under its control"
Merea was good at explaining Ente "I see".
As I've heard from Shaw before, he says there are many mines and mineral veins on the North Continent that can take a variety of mineral resources.
At the time we left the "Pirate City" with the North Continent under alliance - or domination - it was more obvious than to see fire that Mooseg had already entered the North Continent to a large extent.
"Do you know which" Heavenly Tower City "benefits the most from that?
After Melea nodded to Ente's story, she asked further.
"Day One Tower City Coulouse."
"What country did the" Stone King "help earlier?... Don't Smell"
Melea plays her hand on her chin and wonders what she thinks. I'm worried about my gaze on the desk.
"Is Mr. Killier familiar with Mooseg?
Then Ente asked as he put his neck over Melea.
"No, not that I'm familiar with it"
How much would you be grateful if you could get to know me well?
"Simply because it's a name I've heard so much about lately, I was just curious."
Merea misled the occasion appropriately so as not to enlighten Ente as much as she could about her relationship with Mouseg.
"Really?... I do feel that Mooseg's movements have been a bit more intense here. So much so that it even seems a little rushed."
Ente said that and took a breath before returning to the conversation.
"Anyway, I think with such Mooseg's intervention, the situation on the western continent has escalated for a while. … the prolongation of the war, the succession of wars, and the consequent loss of the power of each nation."
"The battle costs money. With more intervention on other continents, we will also pay more money outside the country as we prepare for the war. Don't let the whole continent run out of economy."
"Yes."
Melea didn't feel like that was what Mooseg was after.
Is it not trying to wear off its mother, the whole continent, in order to conquer the western countries?
- The hitter is too big.
Melea thought to herself.
- Is this the strategy?
We still can't get our hands on ourselves, a very large hand on the board. A big battle between giant subjects called the state.
- How to override it.
Melea thinks even more, aware that she has to turn to the back.
- I just have to lay my little hands on it.
Patient and steady until sooner or later when that one hand is effective.
- Get in their way and restrain them as far as you can on the Western Continent. The big hand...
I'm sure Shaw and Harsim will hit me on the Southern Continent.
Merea told herself to check again that this expedition was divided into two squads.
"Okay. That was a lot of help. Do you mind if I ask you something else, Ente?"
Merea raised her face as she gently lifted the dyed blonde hair.
"Yeah, of course. That's the deal."
Ente, who took Merea's red eyes head-on, nodded, albeit slightly flickering.
I glanced at Mira slightly on the side and laughed a little troubled at the end.
"- Besides, maybe you're not the only ones. Of course I'm not going to pry, but I like to talk like this, and I can't contain enough curiosity, so it's a lot of fun to talk to you guys who probably aren't the only ones."
"Is that why you're immersed in a tavern that doesn't look like this city?
"There might be that, too. Half self-abandonment, half uncontrollable curiosity."
"Keep it that way. This city stinks in my eyes."
"I know, sir"
Finally, Ente nodded with a serious face and took a seat.
"So that's it for today. Because she's worried she'll be home late."
"You got your hands on Marisa even though she's here."
"I'm a light man."
Yes, where Ente laughed bitterly, I heard another voice from the side.
"So she's too sweet for a girl."
The Lord of the Voice was Mira.
"Probably can't dump a hooked woman,"
"You know what I mean."
"How many girlfriends are waiting in the room today?
"- Fifth."
The moment Ente answered, Servis said, "Whoa... it's a natural gigolo...!," he turned his eyes to fearlessness.
"That's what you're allowed to do, so you're a very powerful man in a way."
"Because guys like this look lightweight when hooked up, but they can actually be mame. Even if you're angry at first, many women will forgive you."
"That's completely unthinkable."
"Marisa told me you would."
Around Mira and Marisa began the conversation, Ente finally left the inn with a goodbye greeting.
"- Well, let's get some rest and decide how to move again."
I said as Merea untied the string that was tying her hair and stood up from her chair.
"I'm worried about the Lilium's return."
Melea starts walking upstairs with her shoulders turned.
"Mele - Dear Killier, may I join you to your room? Or can I sleep in the same room today? I'd like you to accompany me in my surgical exercises..."
"Fine. I haven't seen it lately. Now you can use the Five Fingers of the King?
"Not all of it yet, but I'm confident it's working better than the last time you saw it"
"Unlike me, you have good procedures and you're helpful. Lilium said," Ten times faster than you remember. "
"I'm cleverly poor, though."
"Still envious."
Melea laughed and went straight up the stairs.
Servis rushes away shaking his cream-colored curly hair from behind.
"That kid, Melea, is low on self-esteem because she's nearby, but she's really pretty good at it, isn't she? I'm not a magician, so I don't know."
"Yeah, aren't you one of the top students in this city"
"Oh, so much."
"She didn't have a teacher until this year. In rare cases, some people ascend to heights in self-study without having a teacher, but it is basically having a teacher that stretches their abilities. And the difference in how it grows is called the difference in quality, but in that child's case, it's a delicacy that the teacher starts to grow as soon as possible by deciding on the policy."
"Mariza, you know me well"
"Lilium said"
It's a takeover.
"And..."
Marisa said as she watched the two disappear upstairs.
"That girl's talent is close to Celias-Blood-Mouseg," he said.
"Haha. What is that again?"
Mira followed Servis' back with a loving gaze that loved my child.
"It's an easy analogy."

The next day.
Melea and Lillium, who returned late at night to the inn, met face-to-face in the dining room to share the information they had obtained yesterday in order to decide what to do that day.
"This wiener is good"
"Baking is exquisite."
"I like it when this skin is crispy."
"Oh, the eyeball grilled eggs from the ground bird over here (Kellan) are delicious too."
Which one?
Kachakacha, white magnetic plates and silver dishes play the sound.
About one glanced at the person using the 'chopsticks', while the others cleverly manipulated the knife and fork to peck the inn breakfast like it was delicious.
"Dear Merea, you haven't used knives and forks lately, have you?"
Says Merea as Servis pierces a fork on a fragrant burnt wiener.
"Because I'm not used to it. I do that when I have to, but basic chopsticks are more convenient."
Merea answered Servis' remarks as she cleverly chopsticked her golden eyeball grill.
"I'm basically clumsy, but that's all I'm good at."
"Heh."
Servis answers all the time as he bites his pali and wiener in his mouth.
"Why not not not learn how to use knives and forks, Master Melea?
Then Rin raised a clear voice this time from next door.
"One of these days..."
"If you can't handle silver dishes satisfactorily in a dining room when you interact with kings and powerful nobles in other countries, you scratch shame."
"Do you bring my chopsticks?
"None. It is a violation. It is prohibited by Article III of the Multicultural Exchange Table Ordinance."
"What is it..."
"I've just given it the proper thought"
"I don't think Mariza's gag sense has developed in the right direction lately"
It was Mariza who sandwiched her mouth in the exchange between Melea and Servis.
"Then I don't hate to scratch shame."
"Even if Lady Merea is good, I won't stand for it."
"Oh, oh, you're tough as ever."
"No."
As Melea looked at Marisa with a frightened face, Mariza shook her neck sideways with a pale expression.
"I'm not angry with Master Merea. We express our regret for those on the spot who have caused Lady Merea to scratch shame. - Yeah, let's kill him."
"Okay, now I'm gonna learn how to use the knife and fork correctly, so wait."
Melea said to Marisa without hesitation.
"You're in a good mood today, Mariza."
Then there's one girl who pinches her voice again for such an exchange between the two.
"What happened yesterday?
More cleverly than anyone else, he manipulated a knife and a fork to eat quietly. Lilium.
After being questioned by Lilium, Mariza turned around and left it for just a few moments before answering.
"Sort of."
"Yeah, that sounds like a lot of good stuff happened."
Lilium, who quickly spotted Mariza's wolf and cheek tide, said pale.
"Lately, I feel like my inner self has only been spotted by you"
"I'm not the only one. And you don't know everything. All I know is your subtly maiden toko."
"Maiden..., I... Maiden..."
"It's easy to understand around you the other way because you haven't noticed it yourself. -So."
So Lilium set aside the dishes and switched stories.
At the end of the line of sight is Merea, who has now started using silver dishes.
"It's so annoying to put or take a knife either way you have to use both hands"
"Merea."
"Hmm?"
Merea, who was struggling badly while teaching Servis the trick, frowns in reaction to Lilium's voice.
"What are we going to do today? I'd like to do a search for The Mad Book of Palladions if I can. I couldn't find it at the Black Rose Library yesterday."
"Hmm..."
Melea, questioned by Lilium, was curious about the idea while holding a silver dish.
"- Let's all move today"
"Huh?"
Melea laughs and tells Lillium to shake her little neck.
"I have something to worry about. The cult taught me yesterday."
Maybe there's another piece of information there.
It's not information from people's side.
"I'm going to go to the Forest of the Knower. Or maybe we can figure out how to see new things there."
I saw it from something that wasn't a person, what this world looked like.
