It's all one flower.

1525. International judicial trials

Skinum goes to the work room to put the material he bought.

Manager Gentius looked back and asked the material store Putnik.

"Safe and above all, stay on Lanterna Island for a while?

"No. I'm leaving when I'm done shopping here. Come on, we need to open a store."

"On your left."

"Let my grandfather hear it too. A Scootum Navy patrol fleet of Straja Bay attacked a monster who was on land when it went out into the middle of Artel territory."

"Huh?

Roark and the curse shop manager, plus even the haulier Fiarlka, turned his voice upside down.

"Is that to protect the Arthurians?

"Scootum's informant didn't know that much either."

"Any other information?

The green-haired haulier clings.

Materialist Putnik answered with a half-hearted face.

"Rumor has it that if a demon soldier in the Navy shoots a [spear of light] at a black monster, he's swollen up."

It's like I heard it somewhere.

Carrier Fiarlka laughs with a nasty face.

"Black monster swelling under magical attack...... hey"

"Is that what you think it is?

When manager Gentius asked, Fiarluca silently turned on the tablet terminal and placed it on the counter.

"... this?

It's an image from a newspaper article.

Roark also read about it in his report quite a while ago.

"The darkness of purification?... Oh, that failure"

Materialist Putnik is convinced through his eyes. During the former Lacus Lacrimalis kingdom, he served in the Royal Army as a weapons clerk. We would also have had the opportunity to learn about the Devil's Asthma cannon, which was developed about 700 years ago.

Manager Gentius lifts his eyes from the tablet terminal and twists his neck.

"What do you mean you will? A Nemoralis Army demon asthma cannon was at the western end of Artel territory before dawn and bowled in with the Scootum Navy to become a battle n...?

"Do you know it's still dark but it's black?

When Roark, a powerless people, heard, Putnik, a former knight, told me.

"That's array. [Dark vision] or something."

"You have the magic to be smart at night."

"Ah."

Roark packed a bunch of spells into a dedicated envelope and placed them in front of Putnik.

"Do you know if you always patrol at that hour, or if something happened that night and you went out and found it occasionally (by chance)?

"The informant didn't know that much either."

If you just picked up rumors that spread to Scootum Navy soldiers, the certainty of the information is also at Ayashi's.

"He who is on the land of Artel... attacked from a patrol ship on purpose?

Manager Gentius sees a fellow haulier with a face that doesn't fall on his heart.

"The Sioux Communications Satellite Antenna Base had the Kingdom of Galeandra mediate a request for security when the telecommunications company set it up, so via that way, security may still be in place, but we won't know until we find out."

Materialist Putnik shoved the envelope of the spell into his backpack and turned his face to Carrier Fiarlka.

"So, what do you have on Lacrimaris?

"I hear the Lacrimaris government is getting ready for a lawsuit."

"Litigation?"

Putnik and the manager tilted their necks at the same time.

Skinum leaves the work room and stops at the end of the counter.

"Artel's army broke into Lacrimalis territory on the island of Nenia and planted the seeds of the wind tree."

"Oh, that one."

Putnik, who set up a shop in Lacrimaris, the king's capital, responded with a bitter face.

Skinum orbits at the edge of his sight.

"The Lacrimaris government has been asking for damages from the Artel government under water for over a year now, through several countries."

"You're not paying me."

"He keeps killing me."

Putnik, the material store, peeled off his eyes in a daze, and at the end of Rourke's sight, the skinum became smaller.

A tank unit of the Artel Army has just broken into the territory of the Kingdom of Lacrimalis, which defends its neutrality with regard to the Devil's Asthma War, is a major problem.

The unit planted the seeds of a raging wind tree from somewhere on the southern tip of the Tuman forest, halfway between the sites of the cities of Plame and Maust.

This exotic plant germinates immediately after planting. Spread the poison, wandering through the forest.

The surrounding countryside and fishing villages, as well as the inhabitants of the city of Plame, took refuge in the city of Grom, opposite the Gulf of Lazuri, and in the King's capital of the Funaris Islands, Lacrimaris.

The wind tree pulls its roots out and moves over the soil, but cannot move over the stone.

The Royal Lacrimalis Army also mobilized civilians and Nemoralis refugees and laid cobblestones in the Tuman Forest to build defensive lines.

The royal family also embarked on the extermination and was painstakingly able to exterminate the body of the bloody wind tree.

However, significant costs and effort are also incurred at the end of the day, such as decontamination of farmland contaminated with torrid tree toxins and disposal of livestock dead from poison.

During the evacuation, compensation went up to huge sums, including lost profits for people who were unable to work.

"Trial, you think I'll pay?

Putnik nodded as he heard at the rate of confirmation.

"It is unlikely that the International Court of Justice itself will not appear in court because it is unenforceable, and if it loses in an absentia trial, it will not pay compensation"

"What's the royal family trying to do with all that crap?

Putnik makes a frightened voice.

"With that said, Artel left the U.N., right?

When Roark heard, Fiarlka nodded abominably

"The International Court of Justice, because it is a United Nations body, is basically available to the Member States, but if the permanent members admit it, it can be used even by non-members"

"Permanent member? Aren't we all Kirkuls except for Alpofilm?"

"Others, if the party sued complains, will have jurisdiction over the trial."

"There's no profit in Artel appearing in court, is there?

... Does it make sense? That trial?

"Even if the Lacrimalis side wins the trial in absentia, if Artel doesn't respond to the compensation, Lacrimalis will ask the permanent members to do something about it."

"You're not moving."

Putnik threw up with a dry laugh.
