It's all one flower.

1988. Continuity of the State

On the eve of the public broadcast in the city of Derevina.

Joel Chi, a state-run broadcasting announcer, talked about the inadequacy of sanctions against the Nemoralis Republic.

In addition to writing news manuscripts, FM Cleveland's wagon car had Padorlik and Kruilo's father, Captain Sornyak and Razolnik, who compiled information. The DJ roof is an event track for national broadcasting, and broadcasting equipment is being inspected.

This time, the resolution of the UN Security Council on the arms embargo against the Republic of Nemorallis and the economic sanctions imposed by the meeting of the Twenty Economic Powers are both based on the violation of the country's Convention on the Prohibition of Magic Biological Weapons.

“At first glance, it seems legitimate, but there are a number of problems in activating this sanction.”

Kruilo doesn't know more than half of Joel's story and has no idea what the problem is. After a while, I somehow remembered the report of the meeting at the Machagina City Chamber of Commerce.

Are you saying that the UN has made the Nemolaris, even though the treaty forbids non-combatants from serving?

“Yes, that's one of the big problems, but there's a more fundamental one.”

Announcer Joel Chi stopped writing the news manuscript and turned to Kruilo and the others.

“The widespread designation of embargoes that starve civilians is also a problem, but the process of imposing sanctions is also a major one.”

Joelch gazes at the four of them from the back of his glasses.

Captain Solniak, a Kirk Cruiser, nodded.

“If the announcement of the Kingdom of Lacrimalis is true, it is not the Republic of Nemoraris that created the magic cannon in the first place, but the Kingdom of Lacus Lacrimalis, more than 700 years ago, so it is unclear where the responsibility lies for the production of magical creatures.”

"Yes, the old kingdom government has developed the Darkness of Purification to efficiently deal with Miscellaneous Demons." It was made in compliance with the Convention for the Prohibition of Magical Wildlife at that time, and it was legal. "

However, some coincidences overlapped, and it turned out that the magical creature "Purifying Darkness" developed for killing Miscellaneous Monsters had the property of being convertible as a weapon.

The government of the former kingdom of Lacus Lacrimalis followed the treaty and tried to destroy the darkness of purification.

However, the purifying darkness absorbed and inflated the magic power of attack magic. A rampage resulted in numerous casualties.

For this reason, it abandoned its destruction, was strictly sealed, and was "discarded" to the Ugari Mountains.

Later, the Kingdom of Lacus Lacrimalis became democratized and became the Republic of Lacus Lacrimalis.

After another half-century of civil strife, the Nemoralis, Lacrimalis, and Artel republics separated and became independent.

The Lacrimalis royal family of the people of the land has returned to power, but the Lacus Neunia family of the people of the lake has maintained its democracy and remains in power. In the Aether Republic, there is no one who was involved in the creation of a magical creature called the Magic Aurora after the Darkness of Purification.

It is impossible to acknowledge the continuity of the present Republic of Nemoralis as a nation of the former Kingdom of Lacus Lacrimalis, which developed the darkness of purification.

If you forcefully admit it, the Kingdom of Lacrimalis and the Republic of Artel could be equally responsible for the "creation of a magical creature that can be used as a weapon".

Some politicians and armies of the Republic of Nemorallis secretly unsealed the Magic Cannon, but it is impossible to add functionality to a magical creature that is already operational.

Based on a few remaining literature, we investigated and confirmed the nature and ability of the magical organism, and studied whether it was actually possible to use a weapon. We excavated discarded items from the ruins, but did not create new magical creatures.

Even if the darkness of purification is used for other purposes and the "act of using weapons" as a magic artillery is to blame, it must be said that the procedure is flawed.

There were no penal provisions in the Convention on the Prohibition of the Magic Biological Weapons and on the Prevention of the Spread of Magic Biological Weapons, and naturally, there were no procedures for inspections, requirements for the activation of sanctions, or implementation details.

However, in light of the social consensus, the United Nations, its agencies, and other international organizations should carry out inspections, seize the evidence, give advance notice, grant a grace period for destruction or disposal of the magic cannon, and if it is difficult for the Nemorallis Republic to carry out the operation alone, the specialized agencies should offer technical assistance.

Multiple countries and United Nations agencies will engage in dialogue and consultation at each stage, including the concerned country, Nemolaris.

At any stage, even if there is a rejection from the nemoraris, it is necessary to notify them of the implementation of sanctions and to negotiate and consult with the parties.

In fact, the Government of the Republic of Nemoraris was accepted for inspection by the Mage's international mutual aid organization "Azure Rose Forest" at the request of the United Nations. I deceived him by showing him the fake Artillery Cannon, but that's a different matter.

The wizard dispatched from the pale rose forest did not seem to have noticed the kae-dama and completed his inspection without being able to obtain any physical evidence on the real magic artillery.

Later, Senator Lacqués and the leader of the Assacor party revealed the identity of the demonic whistle cannon in a video. But only the testimony of the deputies of the Republic of Nemoraris who defected to the Kingdom of Amitostigma has no material evidence.

Squads of troops from the Kingdom of Lacrimalis encounter magical creatures in the Tumarn Forest while searching for the Bloody Wind Tree. The Royal Government announced its existence, based on the records of the era of the former Kingdom of Lacus Lacrimalis.

After that, they captured another solid but similar kind of small magical creature, sealed it tightly, and then discarded it in the Huxi region.

The Royal Government of Lacrimalis announced that, based on the records of the old era, it had determined that the captured small magical creature was "a fragment of what the Nemoraris Army called a magic firecracker" and discarded it.

The U.N. has not confirmed with the Nemoraris that it is really directly related to the "magic cannon that the Republic of Nemoraris uses as a weapon", nor has it obtained any physical evidence.

The countries of the scientific civilization have a strong voice at the United Nations, but it is unconfirmed whether the announcement of the Kingdom of Lacrimalis is true.

The United Nations' International Magic Organization and the Azure Rose Forest witnessed the sealing and disposal of small magical creatures captured by the Lacrimalis Army, but did not investigate the relationship between the Nemoraris Army and the Magic Aurora Gun.

I treated it completely as a separate matter.

Since then, no news agency has reported on the role of the United Nations and the international community in the fight against the Nemoraris Republic and the Molotov cocktail.

The weaponization of magical creatures could lead to the return of monsters from the Third World. It's a major global concern.

If there was any movement, it would not be reported, but without any information, it suddenly resolved an arms embargo against the Republic of Nemorallis and triggered economic sanctions.

At the very least, it seems that Ambassador Eni, stationed in the Kingdom of Amitostigma, did not hear from Ambassador Smelchi of the United Nations that he had received any inquiries or communications from the United Nations or other agencies regarding the artillery cannon for meetings or a second visit.
