Prologue B-2 Brother & Sister

■ Drife Imperial and Royal Office

In Gideon, the kingdom's dueling city, Imperial Marshal Gifted Barbaros was in front of the king on the day of the disturbance between [Mad King] Hanya and [Superfighter] Figaro, who was < Super >.

"That's the report on the Kalcherathan case earlier."

This time Gifted was summoned to the King for two things.

One is the final report on the earlier Kalcheratan case.

If you describe the Marshal's own findings about the results of the investigation of, and that mission that moved to avoid a mighty weapon getting into the hands of, the kingdom, you will be in the realm of failure.

It is good that the showdown weapon [Acra Vaster] was destroyed at the hands of the < Master > of the Kingdom and [Holy Sword Princess] Ultimia A. Alter.

However, reports are rising that the kingdom is expanding its power with equipment currently found in that site. A brilliant horse plant was found, not an uncontrolled brilliant jade soldier, he said.

[Cat God] It was only a series of emergencies, including engaging Tom Cat and fighting [Acra Vaster], but I missed that because it was a Gifted mistake that hit the operation.

Therefore, based on the findings, I reported to the King.

But the response to that is:

"I have received your report, uncle. And you don't have to talk too hard."

The reprimand was aside, a voice that did not make me feel the wave of emotions as a tan.

Calling him uncle is one who assumes the duties of king in his present drife...... Reinhardt.

"My uncle said it was a mistake, but this is not a mistake. The overriding goal, the decisive weapon destruction, is being exchanged. Securing the showdown weapon or completely destroying the production facilities was the best thing, but it is far better than sticking to it and screwing up the top priority goal. It's better than staying in the hands of the kingdom."

Gifted wondering what answered Reinhardt's words,

"But, brother, this [Acra Vaster] thing is an uncontrollable weapon, isn't it? The Empire doesn't seem to be able to control it, so it can't be controlled further in the kingdom? You can't keep it in your hands from the beginning."

Similar to Reinhardt... a slightly different voice flowed indoors.

"Make uncontrollable weapons controllable. Such artistry is possible, Claudia. There would be a precedent, wouldn't there?

"Oh, right. I forgot [the vessel god] who wasted one of the Empire's underground cities."

Some more than a conversation with Gifted was a voice that made her feel a wave of emotions, and Reinhardt was talking to her - her sister, Claudia.

Gifted remains silent and listens to the conversation between the two.

Reinhardt as if it were a machine, but remembering, 'You've cherished Claudia for a long time'.

Gifted and the two are kinship.

For to Gifted, the adopted son of the Barbaros family, the two mothers are stepsisters, and Gifted's wife are two cousins.

It was a complicated relationship, but also on its edge, Gifted is the Imperial Marshal.

For both of us, because he was the only one, such as a trusted soldier.

Only [General None] Gifted Barbaros, uncle and [God of Punch] Claudia's master.

"By the way, uncle. Your uncle must have met Ultimia. How was Ultimia?

"Why did you ask that question? 'In thinking, Gifted recalled that Claudia and the First Princess of the Kingdom were alumni.

"I didn't see any ill health. But......"

"But?"

"He hid his face in a mask and named it Azrite"

"Pfft!?"

What did you imagine, Claudia began laughing heavily with her belly in her arms as she hid her mouth with her hands.

"Mask on your face......! Azrite is... that's my middle name... hahahahahahaha!

Claudia laughed off when she got into the extra bump, wrinkled with the extravagant waitress clothes she was wearing.

"Oh, I did! She loved the novel" My Daughter Who Is Somehow Hiding Her Identity and Rehabilitating The World "! But practice... Pfft! hahahahahahahaha!

"... Claudia. You can laugh, but your breathing can't be too messy. And Claudia won't be able to laugh about her either."

"... ah. Well, so is that."

Claudia finally seemed to calm down when Reinhardt seemed eager to see it, or to hear it.

"I'm the only one who keeps talking to my uncle, so I want you to keep him company."

"Then I'll go back... assume Ultimia, because it's a corner, and I'm also Imetre in a mock fight!

When Claudia said so, her signs disappeared from the indoors.

"Well, let's switch stories, uncle."

"... oh"

"That's fine with me about the Kalcherathan case. Let's get into the second business. I'm sure you have information for your uncle, but there's going to be a fifth super in the kingdom."

…………

A certain disturbance occurred in Gideon in the kingdom on a day called today.

It was a collision with each other, often causing enormous damage to the kingdom.

But as a result, nothing happened and the disturbance ended and the two reconciled.

The flow as it was gave rise to the fear that [Mad King] Hanya would belong to the kingdom.

In that case, the number of kingdoms and empires is mutual.

It's won by the numbers of other quasi and veterans, but it's like right after the last war... almost certainly no longer in a winnable state.

(even though it's an unknown state of affairs when Cardina will intervene)

If he stays bumped, Cardina intervenes at a time when the kingdom and empire are exhausted.

In that case, both the kingdom and the empire will see Cardina flattened.

It was muddy and the worst assumption I could think of.

"Well, this is five minutes for the kingdom and the empire's power of war. In addition, Tiger Sight and Cardina are moving. What do you think you can do about it as it stands?

…………

While showing force to restrain Cardina, it can be said that the early plans of the Marshals to annex the kingdom promptly are not achievable at the earliest.

It was a critical issue at the stage when [Destroyer King] showed its power, but if [Mad King] subscribed, the difference in power would finally narrow too much.

(If [Destroyer King] alone, [Beast King] can hold him down and defeat him. In the meantime I should have been able to control it in one go with the other < super >... but that's also impossible once we have all the heads over there)

At the same time, there has been the failure of the Chancellor and Franklin to surrender the kingdom.

Marshals and Chancellors, the plan they both decided was the best, were both broken at the moment.

Then the remaining hand is......

"... here is to stop the war against the kingdom"

There is only an end to the war.

You can't even fight Cardina while relative to the kingdom.

If the kingdom's power of war has increased so far, there is no longer a viable path to war.

You're right, uncle.

In Gifted's response, Reinhardt nodded.

"To be clear, we've already won this war."

"... right"

The biggest factor the Empire has stepped out of the war is the famine associated with the thinning and decay of the land in the country.

The food trade with Cardina and the Kingdom has also stopped, and as it is, the extreme state of starvation of the majority of the people of the Empire is the biggest factor.

But that changed when we took control of the old Lunnings territory in the war ahead.

Though there is an abominable history of the total annihilation of the inhabitants by that [Gloria], the land of the former Lunnings territory is fertile.

The Empire began farming immediately after the occupation of the former Lunings territories. Fast-growing crops have already been harvested and have helped to heal the imperial hunger.

As long as we have the food we can harvest here, the crisis of famine in the Empire will leave, and the imperial side will no longer have the greatest reason to fight.

The problem here is......

"The question is whether the kingdom will allow us to win and run (...)"

We are talking about whether the kingdom will stop there while the land is taken away and many human beings, including kings, are killed.

With him beaten in a war of aggression from the Empire, will the Kingdom side give up everything: 'If the war is over, that's fine'?

"To be clear, I think it's half. I'm sure she herself, acting for the king, will also consider stopping here. However, what do you think of the nobles and the people who remain at a disadvantage..."

"... it"

"Oh? Did something go wrong, uncle?

"... nothing"

Gifted didn't point it out.

Reinhardt thinks the First Princess will stop the war here, but he doesn't know if it really is.

Because she's killed my father.

Whether those who have lost their families, not just her, can forget everything and say 'let's stop'.

That was a very difficult and hard issue to judge... but Reinhardt doesn't talk about it.

As if those thoughts were missing... or unwilling to consider them even if they were wrong.

"And even if we stop here... we haven't gotten what we need yet."

"What you need,"

"What was needed for the country was the former Lunnings territory. But we still haven't got what we need for the war and for us and the world."

…………

To the words, Gifted conceives.

"What War Needs" understands. The kingdom's super power.

The plan also included merging the kingdom and adding the kingdom's < master > to the empire.

Otherwise, we can't have five minutes of war with Cardina.

"What We Need" was probably the first princess of the kingdom.

I know you have personal feelings for her.

It is also still necessary if we do not give up our annexation with the Kingdom.

(But what is' what we need for the world '... what?

I've never even heard of Gifted, my uncle and marshal.

What Reinhardt thinks about that...... he doesn't even know.

It was this Reinhardt who for a long time had a different viewpoint than his surroundings, because Claudia was the only one who could understand it.

"For the world...... what do you need?

…………

To Gifted's inquiry, Reinhardt opened his teasing mouth with a tentative idea,

"It is...... Excuse me, uncle. Looks like a sudden visitor. Would you please take your seat off?

After trying to talk about something......, I stopped it and urged Gifted to leave.

"What...?

Gifted explores the surrounding area with a small doll he had handed out in advance, but nothing.

Or 'will there be someone coming along that Reinhardt will have to pay for,' Gifted thought.

"On the second case, we decide to have a harmony with the Kingdom. Conditions and requests from the Empire will be made later and handed over to your uncle and Dr. Vigoma (Prime Minister) for consultation. Step back here, please."

"... oh"

The voice prompted Gifted to leave the room.

I also thought about leaving a doll in the office to find out who I was meeting with, but that stopped.

Because I suspected that Reinhardt's attitude was probably a meeting with someone that Gifted might not be good enough to know they existed.

He is the son of his sister-in-law and the other person he has treated for nearly twenty years as a family.

There was something I could understand without telling you.

A little after Gifted left the room, the office space distorted...... one person appeared.

◆ ◆ ◆

■ [Aircraft Emperor] ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ · ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

As you know, if you narrow it down to Super, the empire and kingdom are almost mutually reinforcing.

Nevertheless, it might be somewhat better that way when you include collaboration that takes personality into account.

Not even my brother-in-law, because everyone in the Empire has personality problems.

who overconfident themselves of their genius.

who denied making friends with others from the beginning.

Murdoch is relatively straightforward, but that also puts too much action on his romance.

Zeta? She's not technically from our country.

I know it's not a bug in a lion's body, but I think it'll only do a certain job instead. I don't mind that. Considered.

Huh? Oh, Franklin is... she (...) is a cautious person.

And he is also a broker who is cautious but unable to brake on his own desires and beliefs, … 'I want to make' and 'I don't want to lose'.

So overlap the plot too much.

It's horrible and unacceptable to bump into someone and lose even though you can't stop yourself.

So I guess you're trying to get rid of all the obstacles that show up in front of you.

If that doesn't work, I'll finally stop choosing the means.

So the presence of Ray Sterling is the biggest obstacle and most abominable to her.

Mightiness is far above his brother, [Destroyer King] Shu Sterling, but it doesn't matter how powerful or weak he is.

Because I abhor Ray Sterling individual, Franklin can't tolerate his presence, whether he's strong or weak.

But as I said earlier, I'm a cautious person... and I'm also afraid to make contact again.

Even indirect harm is inflicted.

So she's not going to get her hands on Ray Sterling until she's done getting ready to say "this is really okay".

I'm sure if you ask yourself, you'll delude me with that clouded behavior.

How can you analyze everything that much as you've figured it out?

It's similar to mechanical stirring.

Seeing the motion of the circuit of the machine of civilization and the circuit of the mind held by man is no different to me.

... I also find it frightening to say this to an expert.

And she said something, but you know what you're trying to say.

'If you know so much, how come you just don't understand what's gotten into her (...)'?

I have no choice.

My thoughts about her overdrive the circuit that is within me, creating a serious bug in the program called Personality.

This brain marrow... or the bug my soul held.

And I myself love that bug.

For everything about love for her, the arithmetic device named Brain does not correctly calculate the value.

So I am aware that the fact that I caused the war as one of the reasons to get her, and that I let her father die in it, is an incorrect value.

Conscious, I won't deny it.

You're right, I'm aware that I'm crazy myself.

It's like me calmly analyzing and me crazy for her love running in parallel in a machine called Flesh.

From others' point of view, it would be worse in nature than a madman.

But I think it's okay to stay like this.

The fact that this person is crazy about his love for her is that he can't help it anymore.

Well, there's one thing I'd like to ask you, too.

about what this war you induced (...) was intended for.

...... hehe. Will you still answer me?

Because you must be moving for your reasons.

This visit, too, if I was going to stop the war here, would have come with the intention of creating a new spark?

Rest assured. There will be war.

That's not necessarily what dealt with the kingdom, but there won't be a problem.

Because what you need is an event called war, and I'm guessing its content is not an issue.

War is a major event… it is also important to administrators.

As [Cat God] once intervened in the battle between the two mighty men: [the King of Champions] and [the Dragon Emperor], using an unusual power.

If there is a war, the administrator takes some action.

That's why you wanted to start a war to explore the admin, the enemy, isn't it?

Don't be so surprised.

You and the chairman of Cardina are not the only ones who can see through.

Either way, there will be another war in the Empire.

So don't worry about this one. If you want to leap, go to another country.

Yeah, but I only have one piece of advice from Claudia.

"- If you plot Ultimia's assassination, I'll kill you if you run to the end of the earth."

Yes, it is.

Yeah, let's not forget that.

Okay, farewell. I'll see you if I'm on edge again.

Oh, I forgot to tell you.

That looks good on you - [Great Sage] My lord.
