Let's Manage The Tower

(17) negotiation

While confirming the compensation offered by the Kingdom of Santo Emingo, the examiner turned his attention to the gathered people.

"You've decided that it's better to come all the way here as a country or as a crown, right?

When the examiner asked, Towa nodded greatly.

"Yes, there are advantages as kingdoms and crowns, but the disadvantages are minor."

It is not without any disadvantages, but the content presented by the Kingdom of Santo Emingo in the first place was originally proposed by us.

Naturally, we are also thinking about the disadvantages, and we believe that the profit is greater on top of that.

"Hmm..."

Twa listened with her neck tilted as she continued to think with her arms together.

"Was there a problem? I thought it would be better to finish it gently with a drink of the idea I put forward than to take away the other tower and catch up?

"Oh, no. It's no particular problem to finish this fight. If you leave me alone, it won't be for another week."

Those who did not know about the battle of the tower made noise at the words of Kaiseki.

I didn't think the battle between the towers would end so easily.

"I know it's better to drink the idea presented by the other side of the corner than to wait for it to end naturally."

"Is there anything else wrong?

Against the toe tilting his neck, Kaiseki turned his gaze towards Floria.

I thought it would be better to explain it from Floria than to myself, who has the perception that it is out of common sense.

Floria nodded in anticipation of the intention of the examiner, and looked at Twa and started talking.

"King Twa. You should remember what happened in the first place. How did this fight begin?

"No matter how they say..."

The moment Towa said so, she immediately understood what Floria wanted to say.

But others still don't know, some are tilting their heads.

"Even if you lose a battle, if you can pay compensation, you can declare war at any time."

When Towa said so, the expressions of those who did not know became happy.

This battle began with a unilateral declaration of war on the part of the Kingdom of Santo Emingo.

Though the declaration of war was made ten years later, it was not a tower of Amamia that was fought so many times.

"That's right. Naturally, we need to be convinced that we can't declare war so easily. You can still win this time, but that's not always the case next time."

Floria said that after lying down to win with overwhelming strength.

There is no need to say publicly how much power the Amamiya Tower has.

As long as the main force is the monster's family, you can't control the opponent with numbers or strength, unlike any other army in a normal country.

That's why we need to keep it hidden.

Towa, who listened to Florian and showed a little introspection, asked after a short time.

"Now, will you decline this offer?

"No, you don't have to."

So?

"After receiving the offer, you can attach further conditions."

In the first place, negotiation is not just about accepting the other party's offer unilaterally.

After indicating the conditions on our side, you can concede what you can concede.

"Conditions... Is there anything good that won't be declared war?

Floria shrugged her shoulders to a face she couldn't think of.

"You should think about it from now on. I don't have much time..."

"Floria"

Kaiseki called out to Floria, who had a temporarily troubled face.

"How about we use the case here?

"About the case? Oh, is that it?"

Hmm, it was Florian who showed me the technique of thinking for the first time after murmuring, but she nodded a little bit.

"... you'll need a fine packing, but you'll probably be fine."

Well then...

"Okay."

The conversation between Kaiseki and Florian alone was completed, and the people around me had no idea.

As a matter of course, Floria was aware of this and told everyone about the "plan" that she and Kaiseki had talked about in a mixed chat.

The face of the kingdom that heard the proposal became the look that each thought.

Florian's proposal is that the crown is outside the mosquito net because of its strong diplomatic counterpart.

"... if that proposal is accepted, it will certainly deter us from declaring war, but the question is who will be negotiating it."

"What? It's about the tower. Me and Mia are leaving."

Against Florian, who said so lightly, the kingdom made noise.

It was Florian who reigned as queen. Diplomatic negotiations and so on are coming like mountains.

As long as Floria is in charge of the negotiations directly, no major problems will arise.

"Anyway, Mia?

Though Towa had no objection to Floria coming out, it was unexpected to bring Mia out with her.

Currently, Mia's face is still cautious.

"What? Don't worry. This time, I'm just going to show you my face, and I won't let you name me."

If that's the case, it's fine.

Towa nodded with peace of mind in the words of Floria.

Afterwards, the details were packed, and that afternoon Floria went to the negotiating table.

This negotiation takes time.

If you leave it alone, the oppressive battle will begin on its own.

As a result, negotiations with the Kingdom of Santo Emingo were to take place through the Kingdom of Flores.

This happened because Lazequamamiya did not have a direct point of contact with the Kingdom of Santo Emingo.

Floria and Mia travel directly to the Kingdom of Flores using a royal transfer gate and use their communications equipment.

Of course, the Flores kingdom was supposed to make a little profit from this, rather than renting a place.

And soon a negotiating table was set up for the proposal from Razekamamiya, whether King Pedro had anticipated it.

That said, it is not a situation where there are people close to each other, but it is a simple situation where several representatives are present and do it via communication equipment.

King Pedro was surprised when Florian appeared at the negotiating table, but he was roaring at what Florian had proposed.

It was supposed to be that, and Floria offered to "admit to attacking one of the untrained towers in the Kingdom of Santo Emingo."

It is not a painful expense for the Kingdom of Santo Emingo because it is a tower that has not been invaded.

However, the fact that the tower on your knees in Japan is managed by others is not very good.

In addition, the adventurers will lose their income as they attack the tower.

"King Pedro, what shall we do? As for us, it is not easy to declare war, so this is the proposal, but it is okay to continue the suppression war as it is. It's like we don't have time for this."

As long as Kaiseki continues to be in charge of the Amamiya Tower, he will be able to continue the suppression battle for ten, twenty years.

Not in a direct way, but King Pedro soon understood.

"... okay. Let's drink the terms. However, I want you to release the lower level of the tower you attacked as much as you can."

It is painful for the Kingdom of Santo Emingo to lose income from materials from places where adventurers enter.

It was King Pedro who proposed it under no circumstances, but unfortunately Floria immediately agreed on the terms.

This kind of content was originally decided as part of the negotiations.

"Oh, I don't mind. You want me to make a promise?

"Oh, that won't help."

This is just a discussion between the top, and it's not like it's on the front page.

Specifically, the contents of the table will be packed from now on.

Thus, the suppression that lasted until World War VIII, the day after the negotiations took place, ended with a victory on the Amamiya tower side.
