"Hey, here we go. You got a minute, kid?
"Whoa, what's wrong, old man?
"No, I'm here to get a boy who's never coming back. You can study with Gran, but the boy has other things to do. Come back to Barca Castle."
"Okay. Well, Gran, I asked you to do the rest of your research."
"I'll leave it to you. I'm sure Ars will try to make something he likes."
I came to Grant's research building and I was working with him.
But there came an old man.
I feel like I'm coming back, and I'm a little dazed by the fact that I'm obsessed with improving my magic weapon.
After receiving the call, I had already drawn up a reference diagram of the plastic model that I had come up with, so I left the rest to Gran to return to the castle.
"So, what else are you gonna do, old man? Was there an urgent job?
"Of course. Or rather, it's all a matter of immediate attention."
"What do you got?
"Hey, come on, kid. Next time, the boy will be king of the sky and build a country. There are a number of things to be done for this. There are two particularly big problems. It's a problem in this country, and it's a problem on the ground."
"Well, let's deal with the problems of this country first. Well, it's going to be an independent country, but what should I do? I wonder what to prepare for."
"It will be decided. The kingdom of the sky is here in Vulcania and the sky garden. By the way, there's a variant in the east, but it's more like a base than a place where people live. Well, that's good. There is a kingdom, there is land, and there is a man. In other words, having a country means having a people."
"... yeah, that's right. Oh, I see. I see. The people?"
"You finally got it. Who lives in the kingdom of the sky, the land he owns, the property he owns. Alternatively, there should be a tax provision for them. And we need to think about what we can do about dealing with the outside world in the future. When the Kingdom of the Sky deals with merchants outside, it will have to make various decisions, such as imposing tariffs."
"Ugh. That left us with a natural problem."
"That's right. We need to get those things sorted out before independence. We don't have time for this, kid."
The old man pointed me out, and now I realize that I was too relaxed.
It is absolutely impossible to create a new country.
A lot of things come up that are different from before.
One of the important points is who is the citizen.
A country that doesn't know its people is a terrible country.
And we'll need to make laws for that citizen, and we'll need rules for doing business with other people.
"Well, for the time being, as citizens of the Sky Kingdom, they will be the first to live in Vulcania. How about Sky Gardens? There are a lot of church officials, but is that included in our national list? I'll check with Pope Paul later. And I wonder if we need a policy on the reception of migrants."
"I heard you're using Eyes for governance in the Reid? Let's introduce it ourselves. It should be pretty easy for the rulers to centralize and manage the names and addresses of their citizens and all sorts of information."
I see. Rather, the sky kingdom, with its borders clearly divided, would be easier to do. All right. I'll get in touch with Kyle and see what I can do with the eye. If you're on the other side, you'll see some of the problems you've seen since you started. "
"Well, then, the law decides what to do in accordance with the Fontana Charter. We need to think about the problems on the ground, kid."
"Ground, specifically the Balkans, old man?
"That's right. Will the boy develop an independent kingdom as King of the Sky and be separated from the Barca family, dominated by Alford? But Alford is finally five the next year. I'm not exactly the age to rule the territory. I mean, if you don't decide who's in charge of the Barca house, which is out of the boy's hands, it's gonna be a big deal."
I see. If I reach out to the King of the Sky, it could be a problem. "
"That's what it is. I wonder what you're going to do?
"Oh, so what's the old man going to do? Will you stay in Vulcania and live as a people of the kingdom of the sky, or will you stay on earth and serve the Vulcans? This will change the response."
"Huh? Will my reply change my response?
"Ah, if you want to work as a member of the Barca family on earth, I want you to slaughter the Barca family. To support Alford."
It's really hard to build a country.
Until now, I was the one who gave up my seat, and my trusted members cut through the Vulcan realm well.
But I'll be totally away from the Vulcans.
That means that the members who ruled the Balkans until now need to be divided between the Sky Kingdom and the Balkans.
It was necessary to allocate people for that purpose.
Of that, the most important thing is the existence of the Barca family.
Alford is already the head of the Barca family, but his ability to govern is still elusive.
By the way, being my son now lives in the Barca museum in the city of Fontana.
Perhaps even as you grow up, the city of Fontana will be home to life, near Garord, King of Fontana.
In contrast, the Balkans will be based in Vulcania until now, and will be the Vulcan line, which is also the staging station for magic trains on the ground.
If Imazawa, who is entrusted with the Balkan capital of Balkan territory, sees the entire Balkan territory, is well placed to rule, perhaps he will be fine.
I thought I could leave the big part to my old man if he wanted it.
"Sorry, kid. I bet my life on the boy. I don't feel like leaving the boy now. I want to work in the sky kingdom if possible."
"... I see. Thank you, old man."
But when I checked his intentions, he wanted me to be with him, not with the Balkans.
Honestly, I'm glad.
I would be very happy if my old man worked for the Barca family, but I really appreciate your honesty in saying you want to work with me.
"Then I'll ask Paine to slaughter the Barca family. I have a wide face vis-à-vis others, and I've been working hard behind my back to govern."
"Pain. I think so, but he was originally a Knight of Ulk. It's hard to say what a barca is, isn't it?
"No problem. You'll be wearing a part-time brother and a valgus on either side of the pane. If those two support the panes and defend the Balkan realm, it will work."
Well, if you leave Alford's guardian to his part-time brother, that's going to be a big deal.
My part-time brother, who always wants to fight, feels a little scared as the helmsman of the entire Balkan realm.
But Paine, who worked mainly in diplomatic relations with me, had a good sense of balance.
They should be able to do their job of standing up as the Barca family in the future Fontana kingdom.
In this way, I was discussing various issues with my independence afterwards.
When I was doing that, time passed quickly, and the time was approaching for the dawn of the year.
