It's all one flower.

"Ah... but is it okay to do that little bit?"

Reno remembered the state of the altar hall, and another worry arose.

The sapphire floating on the pedestal is about half the size of the pinky fingernails, and the amount of water released is about the full opening of the household faucet.

Even if they were left out all day at the twelve Panissea Uni Flora shrines in Tokyo, they seemed to be far too few for Lacus Lake.

It's a task that makes you feel distant like filling a dry pond by pumping well water with a handkerchief.

The green-haired guru said with a reassuring smile on Reno's face.

The low volume of water is because it's been almost a week since the last [water call].

Monkey Uru and Monkey Gaz take charge of the temple in six places, and sing the [Call to Water] curse song on a daily basis.

We have Lord Sal-Ul coming to the temple tomorrow.

Not only Sal Uru, but also Shaura and several other Lacus Neunia bloodline relatives, accompanied by both eye-catchers and magic. The number of people varies from day to day, but three or four of the same people came in turns.

Repeat the same curse song in the early morning and three hours from the evening to the beginning of the night.

Meanwhile, ordinary people are off-limits.

“In the evening of the day, the water volume is like a waterfall, and the water volume of the watercourse is about one masonry piece lower from full water.”

Not so much.

Announcer Joelch also lost his words to the boulder.

“Lord Sal Gaz will be accompanied by General Unuk El-Haia, so the waterway will be much wider and wider than our temple.”

“When do you plan to reach your water level recovery goal?”

When Joelch asked, the green-haired guru bowed his eyes.

“I don't know. Many cities on Nenia Island have not lifted access restrictions, and people fleeing the country are close to 600,000, if only they knew.”

More than 430,000 camp inhabitants are counted by the government of the Kingdom of Amitostigma, just under 100,000 have fled the kingdom of Lacrimalis, and the remaining approximately 70,000 are from other neighboring countries.

Before the war, the population of the Republic of Nemoraris was about six million.

If the restricted area on Nenia Island is lifted and refugees who have fled the country return to offer their prayers and magic, the amount of water will be restored.

But how much time and expense does it take to rebuild all the temples in each of the cities of Nenia Island, including Zerneau?

After half a century of civil strife, the Lacrimalis kingdom gathered its inhabitants by giving up the reconstruction of several cities, such as the city of South Zakarta. On Nenia, too, the Retica Provisional Government or the coup d 'état do not necessarily do the same.

... you can't do it for a year or two.

The city of Zerneau, my hometown, may be abandoned.

Reno sighed.

Joelch looks the guru in the eye and says:

“When the war is over, the refugees will return and rebuild, and as the number of worshippers grows, so will the water level.”

“Yes, and to do that, we must hold peace talks as soon as possible.”

To put it briefly, it seems that the government officials of the Nemolaris and Artel republics, which are parties to the conflict, have not been in contact with each other for more than two years since the war began.

If there is any movement on the part of government officials or intermediary countries in both countries, it will always be news.

But the far-killers couldn't pick up any news about the peace talks.

Fiarca, a courier connected to the Fraxinus Order, also says that the government of the Lacrimalis Kingdom, where the sanctuary is located, will not see any intermediary movement.

It may be because one of the parties is difficult to consult in the center of Fluxinus because of the Artel republic, which has established Kirkukism as the state religion.

Rourke and the others often meet and talk to Priest Reflexio. The priest was dispatched from the Cathedral, the heart of Kirkuk. However, the Kirkuk Order and other Kirkuk countries have shown no signs of brokering peace.

Instead, we are providing military support to the Arterial Republic.

The Barbatum Federation Army dispatched to Arterial Territory only fights local beasts, but does not attack Nemoraris territory in particular. However, their acceptance of the beast will make it easier for the Artelian forces to target Nemolaris.

Reno didn't feel comfortable reading the report.

In the first place, after the secession and independence due to the end of the civil unrest in half a century, the Republic of Nemoraris and the Republic of Artel did not have official diplomatic routes and officially did not negotiate.

Anyone with a piano player like Snieg who is in the territory of the Artel Republic can easily enter the country with Jump because of the land survey.

There are many informal private exchanges, but that's all.

In both countries, there is no embassy or anything.

Reno asked thoughtfully.

"Since the country has been cut off from each other for more than 30 years and there is no official contact, who should discuss how and where to make peace?"

“The Artel government is stubborn, but if we completely overthrow the regime of Kripeus, which operates the artillery, we may be willing to talk.”

... complete overthrow?

Reno was skeptical of the guru's reply.

Is that why you're fighting with Retica?

“No, it is strictly forbidden to fight and to assassinate the Prime Minister.”

... if it wasn't forbidden, we'd both be screwed?

Reno was driven by untold anxiety in the words of Uchertier.

Joelch changes the subject a bit.

"The Nemolaris government... neither the Retica pro tempore government nor the coup d 'état government have approved the' Artel Republic '."

By the way, that's right.

The green-haired guru nodded.

"In other words, because the Nemolaris government is not recognized as an official state, it cannot negotiate in an official forum, and this war, which the neighboring countries call the" "Magic Artillery War" ", may not be recognized as a" "war of national sovereignty" "". "

Announcer Joel Chi pointed out that Padre Uchertier thought for a moment before he heard about it.

“However, the Arterial Republic declared war on our country. When, where, and by whom did it go? Joelchi read the news, didn't he?"

“It was in the Barbados Federation, where the UN headquarters is located, and the Ambassador of Artel contacted Ambassador Smelch, who is stationed at the UN office in my country, by telephone and email.”

"A declaration of war on the phone?"

Reno was surprised, but he didn't know how to do it officially. I didn't ask the question because I thought it might be normal.

“Ambassador Smelch jumped home immediately, but the bombers seemed to have taken off by the time the email arrived, and the air raid alert didn't arrive in time.”

The announcer of the national broadcast holds a fist placed on the conference desk with a sad face.

“The United Nations… Artel withdrew at the same time as the declaration of war.”

Obergruppenführer Uchelsier dropped his shoulder.

Reno shuddered as he felt the chill rising from beneath his feet.
