Let's Manage The Tower
(6) Meetings that are not meetings
Cut it out!
A special venue echoed the anger of one of the participants.
It was one of the nobles in the northern city who raised his anger.
Like the nobility, the people sitting around also said, "Yes, it is."
But the people who were shouted at were looking at the wind.
She doesn't seem to be wearing it at all.
They are now in a conference room at a facility in the northern city.
The room explains the conditions offered by Razek Amamiya this time.
But in the middle of the explanation, I couldn't stand it anymore, and the anger echoed earlier.
In the first place, this case was planned by the northern city to extract concessions from the Razek Amamiya side.
The aristocracy of the northern city are gathered because their fate is at stake.
The aristocrats are from the bottom to the top, so few of them come from the bottom.
Conversely, they were gathered as many as those at the top.
It is only natural that this meeting will be fateful in the future.
A nobleman was angry because the Lazek Amamiya attendees gave a faint explanation of the conditions since the beginning of the meeting.
The audience in the northern city, hoping for a slight improvement, fell short of nothing to improve on.
However, from the Razek Amamiya side, it would be a good place to cut the other way.
In the first place, it is Razek Amamiya's perception that this meeting is an explanation of purpose and not a place for negotiating terms.
It was on the north side of the city that I took the liberty of mistaking the conditions for this meeting to be relaxed.
Lazequamamiya's representatives waited for the noise to calm down before they began talking again.
"Something seems wrong, but I am here on behalf of Queen Floria. So please listen to the Queen's opinion that she has no intention of changing the conditions at all."
That is what the representative said, separating the words.
Lucas, who confirmed it, asked on behalf of him.
"How are we going to rule this city after we cut through the top?
"How?
In response to the representative's question, he asked me if I didn't know such a thing.
Lucas raises his right hand to suppress the pain.
"Even if we had ruled the city for years. Do you think you can rule by eliminating us?
"Of course."
In response to Lucas' direct query, the delegate responded immediately.
With that confident expression, the venue calmed down forgetting to fly over.
"Why do you think it doesn't work in the first place?
"What?"
"It takes a lot of effort and time to regain control of a city that is doing well. If we succeed, we may even have a rebellion. But don't you think it would be unexpectedly hassle-free to build a city where governance isn't working?
The representative of Lazeqamamiah laughed with a smile.
This representative clearly says that the current governance of the northern city is not going well.
The streamstone Yaji personnel were also utterly silent about the blanket appearance.
"You don't think this city is ruling well?
Lucas, who had not expected to speak so clearly, asked while suppressing his anger.
"On the contrary, I would like to ask. How do you think governance is working while people are so dissatisfied with it?
"What?
The venue screamed at the question from the direction that I never thought it would be.
That will be the case.
For them, the inhabitants of the city are those who work according to their instructions and have nothing to do with the rule of the city.
The idea is that we are the only ones in control of the city.
Even Lucas, who understands the situation in the city today, has such a feeling, so it is difficult for others to say.
"For Razek Amamiya, the people are the foundation of the state and are difficult to transform into anything. Your presence is nothing but an obstacle to us, to be clear."
There were no more objectors to the clear statements made by the delegates.
The people gathered here at the top of the northern city will finally understand.
Nothing matches our values at all.
Razekamamiah treats their presence as if it were none.
Those who have been told to stand back honestly are not gathered here.
Because they are the ones who inhale sweet juice and come alive.
"What are you getting in our way?!
"Yes! We've created a forum for discussion, but what's your attitude!
Once again, the venue becomes noisy.
However, there is no indication that the noise will subside this time.
If we pull back here, it's certain that we'll lose our position.
You will be desperate because you instinctively know it.
Razeqamamiya's representatives did not change their expressions in particular or know this from the outset.
"So, is this the end of the discussion?
To the delegate who said so with a cool face, Lucas answered with a bitter face.
"There's nothing more we can do."
Really? Now, if you'll excuse us. "
The delegate stood up with that.
Those who followed him stand up alike.
Lastly, the delegate, who seemed to be leaving the room with a curse, said something that bothered him.
"I don't mind blaming us, but I think you should take a good look at your feet."
The delegate finally said, "Now it's time to leave the scene completely.

While listening to the noise behind the venue, Razek Amamiya's representative leaked it to the other members.
"I wanted you to be aware if you could, but you couldn't."
"As Queen Florian expected," she said.
Razek Amamiya had originally expected this to happen.
Even so, it is one of several predictive patterns.
Of course, Queen Florian did not anticipate all of them, but rather the best of her closest associates.
Among them, the pattern that I don't want to hit the most has hit me.
I didn't want it to hit me the most, but I expected it to hit me the most.
"I want those people to care about their last words, but... you can't."
The delegate leaked with a bitter smile.
"It seems like we're the only ones who can think of ourselves in this period. If you notice, how much is the lord?"
"Oh, he'll notice. I don't know if I can handle it alone."
"You're wasting corner advice."
The representative shrugged at the words.
"I can't help it. If you scratch your feet here, there may still be a way... but I don't think so."
The representative's dialog was a statement that already overlooked the upper parts of the northern city.

In an unfit venue, Lucas was on his own.
I am curious about the last words that the representative of Razek Amamiya said and left behind.
"Look at your feet... What's going on?
He was the only one who picked up the murmur in the noisy venue.
"I don't know, it's not really at my feet, but what is it?"
"It felt more like I was talking to everyone here than to me personally."
"Me too."
"So, what is the foothold for the people here...?! Well, no way, no, that can't be..."
It was Lucas who realized something, but immediately denied it.
No such signs have ever been felt.
However, the anxiety that arose could not be dispelled.
A bad time prediction is a good thing to get.
Just a few days after this day's discussion, Lucas's expectations that he didn't want to meet became reality.
