End of first day.
"Hmm..."
Think about what Warren just showed Logus.
Even if it rots, Logus is a general.... Doesn't seem like a bad power to see the situation.
Nevertheless, it seems only if the martial arts are involved, as in this case.
"But if there is no simulation..."
Momentum until earlier seems to have vanished, and Ralph doesn't even try to hide his annoyance.
I was thinking about what to argue with, but inside, this guy named Warren was a hassle.
Had Elena come to Magna before, Heim would still have had the means to argue.
But as things stand, Elena, a civilian who can also be Heim's main force, is not in a situation where she can easily open her mouth.
Some of the effects of buying Tiggle's upset, or now that we're close to cold treating Elena, let's just say I'm strangling myself.
Even as Warren, if the measure succeeds so far, there will be even a slight bitter laugh.
Rather, it is even a clap out.
"Ha... It's a hassle."
Then, with Logus pointing it out, Ralph gave it a thought.
Current situation where the flow of conversation is not good for us Heim.
In view of the current situation, Ralph suggested one thing.
"... it will be evening soon. Let's just say this concludes today's meeting."
When Warren heard this, he put his hand on his mouth and figured out what to do.
To be clear, personally, there are still parts of the story that are missing.
But if you think of it as "take it high," it's not a bad result. I thought so, and after I got lost, I replied with my consent.
Before Ralph, I never feel bad about letting him make an escape suggestion.
"I understand. Well, it's only my first day. Tomorrow, I hope it will be a fruitful meeting."
When he saw Warren smiling that way, Ralph stood up vigorously and went towards the door behind him.
"... we're leaving. Tiggle."
Without concealing the frustration, the door opens rampantly and walks out, making loud footsteps.
"Ah... Chi, Father, go!
Tiggle, for a moment, after staring at Warren, follows his father Ralph to this place.
Seeing the two of them leave, not a single line of Heim rushes outside.
But after all had left, Elena stopped her legs and delivered her voice toward Ishtarika.
"... His Royal Highness Prince Ain. May I ask you one thing?
No way, Ain't I supposed to be able to call you.
But she's no other Krone's mother. As Ein, it's also true that I wanted to have a conversation.
"Yes. What is it, Mr. Elena?"
Ein replied to Elena with a gentle tone of voice.
"... at Magna, thank you so much for your help"
Ain't thought he'd be told about Krone.
Naturally, Krone himself, sitting next to him, expected that to happen, but that prediction would be betrayed.
When Elena finishes delivering the words, she leaves the big conference room early enough.
Ain't heard that word before he said it back.
"Hey...... hey Ain!?
"--… Ha!? Oh, I'm sorry. I lost my mind for a moment."
Ein, who was told he was taken care of by Magna and was stiff for a moment, is shaken by Krone and returned to sanity.
"What do you mean?!? I was seeing your mother in Magna!?
"I don't know! Even I said I don't remember taking care of Elena in Magna!
Ishtarika's air is completely different from the talks we had just had.
When I saw the exchange between the two of them, they all had a grin on their faces.
"... you're not lying?
"I said I didn't follow you! In the first place, he didn't even have to hide it!
Krone, who stares at Ain with his jito eyes, but keeps asking.
But seeing Ain desperate to deny it, I'm starting to wonder if it's really different.
"Ha ha! Lord Krone, Mr. Ein is not lying."
Warren, who was watching, sent a help ship to Ain.
"Wow, Master Warren...? How do you know that?
Ein was also relieved that the help ship had arrived, but he wondered why Warren had the confirmation.
"Actually, me and Your Majesty. And only Lili and some of them knew that Lord Elena had come to Ishtarika."
Next to Warren, who spoke like this, Silvard was nodding.
"Mm-hmm. That's what I'm talking about, Ain"
"That's what this is about... it doesn't explain it at all."
The atmosphere during the talks seems to have finally gone somewhere, and, as usual, Ishtarika's conversation begins.
When I heard that Heim's heavy town was coming to Ishtalika, they all gave me an unexceptional look of surprise.
"Heh, Your Majesty...? I didn't hear that either."
With Lloyd's surprisingly stained expression, he speaks to Silvard.
"That would be so. Anyway, I haven't heard this story since I counted it in one hand."
"Grandpa? I'm surprised you didn't even tell Mr. Lloyd that I was seeing Mr. Elena...?
Interrupting in the conversation between the two, Ein asks Silvard for an explanation.
When was I, face-to-face with Elena? I wanted you to tell me that quickly.
"It's Warren. Your lord would be able to elaborate on that, wouldn't he?
"Yeah, I'll take care of it. --… Dear Ein, in the midst of your patience at Magna, did you not guide one woman to the inn?
"... yeah. I did, but what happened to that guy?
Krone, who was listening next door, heard of her patience and rather wanted to complain about it.
But more than that, I was interested in the topic my mother was involved in.
"Wearing a robe, you were sitting alone, right?
"... you know more. But that fits."
Actually, it was Lord Elena.
"... what?
I remember your patience at Magna very well.
I strolled down the street and tasted many gastronomic dishes.
As for the woman who led the inn, we should have met during the break, while sitting on the bench.
But when they say that the woman was Elena, I have no idea why.
"How could your mother leave Magna alone..."
It's an impossible story if it's normal.
Heavy towns like Elena come all the way across the ocean to Magna, that's incredible.
"Heim has been imitating what we've been doing. I mean, it's a covert act. And among the candidates was Lord Elena."
"Ha, Heim gave Ishtalika a spy...?
Krone shows surprise in her voice.
Anyway, crossing the ocean involves many dangers.
The people of Ishtarika can cross safely, but that is only because there is a ship that Ishtarika is proud of.
That's why there was something close to committing suicide that I felt.
"Seems like the adventurers also hired a lot of them, but the boat the adventurers were on was overthrown, and only two of them arrived in Ishtarika. One of them is Lord Elena."
"Master Warren? So what the hell is the other one..."
"The other one means asylum from Heim. As I'm sure you both know, the exiles and Lord Elena came to Ishtarika on the same boat."
Hearing that, Ain and Krone were hazy.
Indeed, there was one person who had been displaced. On the way home from Magna, this is what Krone told Ain.
I never imagined Elena would have come with that exile.
"Well, more than that... what do you mean, Ain! From there, why would Ain't show your mother... Huh!
I understand some of the story. Krone stuffs into Ain again.
I approached him to tighten Ain's arm for the good of sitting next to him.
"So... so! I didn't know!
Ain makes excuses for Krone, who looks hasty, in an imperative manner.
"It's just that I've been taking a break since I finished eating and walking. That's when I talked to him because I heard him in trouble."
Magna that day was showing more than a festival crowd.
Many of the inns are full, and it's hard to get a room.
"Look, we're talking about me and your mother going, so the Magna crowd was amazing, too."
"... yeah. I know that."
"So, I'm not guilty either... but I feel sorry for you. 'Cause you do, don't you? I'm the reason Magna's so crowded."
If you're a regular magna, you don't have a hard time preparing an inn.
For that reason, Ain't was the reason why we couldn't take the inn.
"So I introduced the inn because it looked like I was in trouble.... that's why"
"... yeah. I know Ain't told you he showed your mother around without knowing."
Ein didn't know that was Elena at the time.
If I had known, I would have done enough to bring him back to the king's capital.
"So... Mr. Warren. Can you tell me a little more? Too little information. I don't know."
In trouble, I spoke to Warren.
Again, too little information as Ein.
Warren then hears Ain's voice and mouths the answer with a gracious look.
"How could she have returned safely to Heim when I knew about Lord Elena... right?
"Yeah, I can't help but notice that."
If Warren had been informed, normally, he would have stopped returning to Heim.
But I guess he didn't stop about Elena.
That's why the information about Elena is something that Ein and the others don't know much about.
"I had a little idea."
--... I knew it.
There's no way Warren is just returning a human from an enemy country.
If that was Krone's mother, I think she had warmth and care, but still wasn't uncomfortable planting anything.
"To accomplish that, I gave Lord Elena a tour of Magna and sent Lili to accomplish it"
"Did you make it?
To the words, Ain raised a voice of surprise.
"I'm sorry, but I used Heim's thoughts the other way around. You may resent Lord Krone, but he used Lord Elena."
"... use your mother?
"Yes, Lord Elena has been sent in by Haim as a secret detective. So we let Lili guide us and inspect battleships and such. And the result of using it is what we achieved earlier."
The look of Warren with a bitter laugh and a slight apology.
Krone and Ein listen quietly and wait for Warren's words.
"Haim's civilian head. That is Lord Elena. Let me seal that mouth before it adversely affects Ishtarika"
Seeing Warren speak pale, Ain and Krone both begin to understand, little by little.
"Lord Elena was a loyal minister to Heim. So you will certainly report what you saw in Ishtarika. Anyway, if you don't report it, you'll be a rebel minister."
Reasons such as Warren may resent himself are gradually revealed.
"That's what I knew. Once you see our power, Lord Elena will surely try to make it easy. I'm going to tell Princes Tiggle what he thinks."
Ein, who knew Tiggle's character, understood that more than Krone.
Even if it were Elena, if she said anything against her will about Ishtarika, she would be treated somewhat coldly.
"After that, you know you don't have to talk anymore, do you? --... Lord Krone. Do you resent me?
……
Having finished listening to Warren, Krone nodded a few times with a strange look on her face.
Then, after breathing heavily, he turns to Warren.
"No, I will not resent you. I'm here to spy on you. It's worse if I show you a gap."
"... ho"
Hearing it, Warren leaks an exclamation.
Krone's answer was the best answer for him.
"Nevertheless, Mr. Warren. At least you could have told me when you got home from Magna..."
"Yeah, I thought about that, too. But this meeting wasn't that far away, so I was wondering if it would upset me."
"... it's okay, Ain. Maybe if I'd listened earlier, I'd have been upset too."
Anyway, I haven't seen my mother in years, so even if I ask abruptly, I get upset about just Krone.
For that reason, I was glad to hear it now.
But I don't know, Lord Warren.
"Hmm? What is it, Lord Lloyd?"
Put your arms together and talk to Warren in an unconvincing manner.
"Is a woman named Elena, who I was listening to, what could be called a trump card taken to Heim? Then doesn't it make sense to treat him cold like this?
Lloyd told the obvious story.
But I didn't understand what Heim thought when he did it.
"... why I was able to treat Lord Elena cold. I think for two reasons."
Then Warren gets up and moves on to the desk to move the place so that everyone can see their faces.
"I thought the first was about sea crystals. That is a substitute we wanted so much that we wanted secrecy. That's why I slept off the coast of Haim, so that's why I was able to be strong."
Stand up one index finger and talk to everyone, Warren.
"The supply from Euro is lubrication. The next few decades will be enough to ensure you don't have to worry about depletion. Moreover, the development of new technologies is well under way, so relying on sea crystals is expected to gradually decrease."
In the unlikely event that there were not enough sea crystals desperately enough, Ishtarika would have had some fractures as well.
But as it stands, none of it was necessary.
"Heim doesn't know any more about it. Therefore, I was wondering if Lord Elena would have been confident in this meeting, even if he had not been the main one."
"Hmm... I see. But it would still be the pinnacle of stupidity."
In the end, it would be the effect of being a frog in the well on the continent.
I don't have the experience to fight it, maybe that's what this is all about.
"So, what's the other reason?
"Hmm...... Another reason?"
When I put my hand on my mouth, Warren started choosing words carefully.
It's rare how he looks like this.
"... we (Heim) will not be killed. It must be such a relief."
There is only one thing that the word means.
Ishtarika does not carry out pre-emptive attacks.
Because Heim, like a fanatic, believes in it.
"The first day of the talks was not a bad outcome for me either. … therefore, the presence of His Majesty is not required for tomorrow's talks"
Second, Warren made a difference to the flow of conversation.
It was an unclear word, but Lloyd and Silvard realize its sincerity.
"... Warren. Should I put the rest in my mouth?"
Silvard looked magical and asked Warren.
"No, Your Majesty has nothing to say. All you have to do is tell me to leave tomorrow's meeting to me."
"Then I will be present..."
"Lord Lloyd is fine, too. If you will always be beside His Majesty, so be it."
But looking at this, Ain't and Krone, and the three of Chris who were quiet, don't know what the situation is.
It seemed to me that the only three people who understood each other were Silvard, Lloyd, and Warren.
"Let me come at tomorrow's meeting and break that absolute peace of mind. So please wait for your report on board."
Warren's voice made him feel more cut than ever before.
