"These days politics are not easy."
Conversation with Banaj at the beginning of the year.
Because I was drinking while I was cooking, I gradually got stupid when I talked about bananas.
Apparently, he's packing up a lot.
You must be making a lot of money doing magic equipment, but you may have a lot of trouble.
"What's wrong?"
"Mm-hmm. Will you listen, Alphonse?Recently, in addition to the relationship between the country and the country, we have to be careful. "
"Outside the country?"
"Yes, [naming] has been spreading magic all over the world in recent years.That's not what's causing crustal fluctuations. "
Crustal fluctuations, as Banaj says.
It's an exaggeration, but I think the banana is under such a shock.
There was still a lot of magical influence involved.
Ars' brother named him Banaj, and in Orient Country, there were more people who could use magic.
It seemed that there were many senators, their families, or those around them who were somewhat privileged.
However, it was strictly forbidden to arbitrarily use Naming like the Brilliant Magic Nation, and it did not prevent proliferation.
As a result, it seems that the presence of people who can use magic has spread so that they can surround the lumber mills that serve as bases in another country, such as Georgia.
In other words, there are many people who can use magic outside the country of origin.
And while it's still spreading, it's not just about privileged classes.
As a result, even political crustal fluctuations have occurred, as Banaj says.
The general public began to gain power with magic.
Until now, the main mechanism in the small group of countries has been the movement of politics in various countries, with historical celebrities and people with financial resources gaining the status of parliamentarians.
However, those who have gained the power of magic start to move independently, ignoring such a family and the flow until then.
Until then, villages and towns belonging to some country started walking on their own.
Independent factions that have begun to riot across the country.
If we look at the power relations of each country until now and look at the bananas that have kept the country politically neutral, the current situation is completely unreadable.
Some cities and countries have lost a lot of power as a result of sending soldiers to the towns that stood up after suing for independence.
In a year's time, it would suffice to say which country remains unknown.
Of course, emerging forces are not the only ones growing in power.
Some small countries are actively using magical powers to expand their forces.
The more powerful a country is, the stronger its momentum is.
Of course, such a country should be careful.
"I mean, shouldn't the Orient Country move even more?I'm just trying to protect you, and I don't think you can attack at all. "
"That's not true.I'm afraid there's a split opinion in Congress.How far will we move the country while following the basic policies of the Orient country up to now?Everyone is looking for it. "
In the meantime, the Orient Nation's movements were slow.
Originally, this country was weak in terms of force.
It is a small country with only manufacturing technology, and it is likely to be crushed quickly if attacked from the source.
It was thanks to its technical and diplomatic skills that such a country had been maintained.
We have maintained countries by swimming well within each country and creating a situation that is difficult to be invaded by having connections with each country.
Recently, after being attacked by others and in a state of imminent death, he managed to rebuild himself thanks to the Orient of the Magic Bow, which used the softwood tree of the country of Gloria.
As the parliament of the Orient nation, I want to rebuild the country no matter what I do, and return it as it has always been.
I wonder if that's what I think strongly.
First of all, I want to protect my country and increase the number of craftsmen who have been lost in the long run.
But it is also true that it is doubtful whether it can be done.
Then there may be moves to expand the country.
Some senators think so, but there is a way of doing things until now.
Some people are even reluctant to show their movements, as the future of being knocked out by others seems flickering.
That's why they're spoiling the status quo.
"But I'm not grateful for Alphonse's behavior in this situation."
"Is this what I do?"
"Hmm. There are also stories of mercenary groups hired in other countries gaining magic and attacking their employers' countries.For that reason, there is no danger to the mercenary regiment.But the most precious Balkan mercenaries in the country were different.They made things for me. "
"Does it make a good impression to make things in Vulcan village?"
"That's right. Together with the exotic medicine Barca Spiritual Medicine, the container showed the technical ability to mass produce what can also be called art pieces designed by Garius.Thanks to that, some senators are beginning to recognize the Barca Mercenaries not just as mercenaries, but as a group of craftsmen who can fight. "
"Hmm. In short, do you feel a little fellowship has emerged from the perspective of Orient?"
"That's not true. There are increasing moves to sharpen technology to blend into this country, and to highly value the Balkan mercenary regiment that is also on the battlefield.That's why I want Alphonse to continue to fight and work hard to make things. "
"I see. I mean, even if you don't say that, we still have to make some money.We will continue to work hard on manufacturing, Mr. Banaj. "
Looks like we've come in the right direction.
It seems that the act of making things led to winning credibility.
Thank you.
At least much better than being seen as a mercenary group of exotic brutes.
Keep up the good work.
Let's make something else useful.
With that in mind, I enjoyed a meal with Banaj.
