"... peace."
Blurring and looking out the window of the president's office, Taro groans with a loose look.
Outside the window, the iron bulkhead depicting corporate advertising was never a good view, but I could at least hope for the fine movement of people traveling around the street. It was a little more than the decorative interior of the office.
"Maybe next time I'll buy a frame and a painting... oh no, now everything is a display?
Marr, slapping the keyboard beside him, raised his face to the solitary question of Taro.
"That's not true. In terms of share, small displays are a lot more."
"Well, you are. I can show you a different picture whenever I want."
"Right. But that's not the value of a thing or an art, is it? I don't know much about art, but it's worth it."
"Hmm... I'm refreshed about art, too. In the meantime, do you want to buy something that looks like it so customers can't lick it?"
The current office in Taronda is not in Katsushika, and Enzio is the newly established Rising San Roma branch in Rome. And that was also the headquarters of the RS Alliance, a place that would have been the center of activity for a while.
Naturally there are frequent visitors there, and some people may value art and upbringing. I needed to make a lot more assumptions than not being able to pick visiting guests.
"Then leave it to me, Mr. Taylor. You remember art, right?
I'm good at the other being in the room. Taro started looking out the window in his spare time again when he shouted "hello" to Liza like that.
"Did you have so much free time for your day-to-day business?
Marl sighs one thing at Taro's statement, which I just think is licking the average worker.
"If you're that free, can you help me?... but sure, you know how it feels. Something I've been too busy with before. I'm sure it's a recoil."
To Marl, Liza goes on to say yes.
"I'm sure you are. But it would be a welcome time. I'll be honest with you for a while before you embark on a convoy frightened by an invisible enemy."
Liza frowned in a grumpy manner and just said she didn't like remembering either. In the war against Enzio, she was partitioning anything about the back. As well as continuing the existing work, it was her job to supply around to maintain the barracks.
"We're not dealing with so many stealth ships in the future. Enzio was just unusual... maybe."
Taro answers the lack of confidence. Liza seems to have finished her own work and gets some chips up in her hands. "I hope so," she clarified to Taro. When she responded in good condition, she turned the door knob in an unfamiliar manner and left the room.
"You were about to hit the door for a second."
"Right. I'll be there every once in a while."
By way of example, the President's Office had an independent BISHOP control mechanism in place. Therefore, it is not possible to control BISHOP from the inside out, and vice versa. The door at the border between the inside and the outside needed to be opened in an old-fashioned manner.
"Why don't you at least make it a regular sensor-based automatic door?
"No, no, it's romance, romance. Something like this, you can taste it."
"I think it's just a hassle... well fine. So, Taylor, have you made up your mind about the future policy of the RS Alliance?
Taro thumbs up "Oosa".
"Heh, that's surprising. I was just wondering if you hadn't thought about it."
"No, no, I use my head properly, too, don't I?
"Hehe, I'm kidding. So, what's it become?
"Hmm, surprised to hear............ hmmm"
Taro, who sees Marr at some point and is often silent. Marr tilted his neck to such a tall place to show it, but he seemed to wait silently for it to continue.
Taro watches Marl at hand, as if to ask when.
I guess I felt uncomfortable being seen silently. Marl hangs out and gets a glass of drinks.
Taro laughing niggardly.
Marl stirs up the cup, frowning in disbelief.
There's a word from Taro.
"Take the Expanded Route"
Taro, where Marl brings out his tea in a grand way and bathes it all over his body. When Marl releases a right straight to him with a tranced look, Taro says, "Thank you!!," he said, rolling flashly off the chair.
"What are you thinking!!
"Oh, I'm sorry. What a waste of tea."
"Not there!! Enlarged route, are you insane!?
Marl stuffs to Taro just because he can't believe it. Taro returns "Oh, that way," even though it turns a little red.
"Enlargement is not about EAP or White Dingo. Back there, back there."
When Taro looked upside down and saw the display provided on the wall, he reflected a regional star map on it in BISHOP.
"Did the Doctor say someday? He said the early prints of the Empire should be behind Enzio. Then, depending on the distance, we need to set up a base on the border."
"Maybe so... but what about bringing up border development as a policy of the Alliance? If it's for an investigation, we just need to set up a temporary base, right?
"Well, I am. Actually, Dean contacted me... and I don't want you to tell anyone about this yet."
There was no way anyone would ask in a soundproof room, but Taro squeaked in his face to Marl's ear just in case.
"............... are you kidding me? Really?"
Marl opens his eyes and turns around in a strange way.
"This is not a joke. You're gonna laugh, aren't you? It's not funny though."
Taro clapped his shoulders wide as he returned a bitter laugh. Taro spoke to Marr about the trends in the Empire that Dean had reported the other day.
"Entering the Alpha side by the Empire... I know it's not an impossible story. But why now? I've left you alone for hundreds of years."
"No, I don't know either... but don't predict. I guess this is it."
When Taro removes his mobile device from his chest pocket, he displays the saved news items. There's "Sebella side. Communication between the region and audio. A move of independence," he said.
"This... I see. That sort of thing."
I guess I understood the headline as soon as I saw it. Marl pulls back as he is convinced.
"That's the thing. Far from the other side of the galaxy, but I'm guessing there's an area where we've started to distance ourselves from the Empire because of the information dimension or the destruction of Stargate. If you look for it, you'll find a lot of similar information."
Taro scrolled through the screen and shifted the list of news collected.
"When this does happen, as an empire, you have to hit your hand. Whether there's a move to leave or not, we're trying to make it impossible in the first place."
"Right. The Alpha system is operated properly by Mr. Bella with the permission of the Empire, and Katsushika is well spoken for. But the others don't. Everyone just insists that it's their own territory, and the Empire doesn't approve of it... it's the same where the Empire itself does whatever it wants."
"Yeah... but then how far will it be to be swallowed?
"I don't know that. You don't have to worry about independence if you hold back even around Katsushika in terms of the need enough, but it'll expand considerably when you're chased after profits. By the way, this is what Taylor and Mr. Dean predicted."
Taro shifts his eyes to a large screen and fills the map that was displayed with BISHOP. The range indicating imperial territory gradually expands and stops at the time of swallowing some of Enzio, EAP and White Dingo.
"... you won't try. It's not good tobacco."
The future Imperial Territory area included a system with numerous large stations. They were the centers of economic activity in the Alpha universe and should have been needed in post-war reconstruction.
"Ha... blah, blah, blah. When this prediction came out, I seriously thought I'd smash the Alpha Stargate."
"Stop joking... I know exactly how you feel"
"Right. I saved my life because of it... but there seems to be a lot behind it when it moved at this time. Mr. Dean said it might be 50 Materials revenge."
"Revenge... you mean we're harassing us without getting our hands dirty? I can't forgive you!!
"No, because it's just a prediction. Relax, Marl. I don't care if you get stuck with me."
How do you encourage Taro to calm down to Marl, who stuffs his nose roughly to Taro?
"Well, I don't know if that's how we're going to develop the center. I struggled to rebuild it, but yes, this is imperial territory starting tomorrow, so you can't do it, can you?
"Sure... I'd be happy to do that. But when you do, shouldn't you also let Lynn know?
"... Hmm, that's right. One of these days, I'm gonna look at the time and talk."
"Hey, what's going on? Why won't you tell me right away?
"I'd like to do that right away, personally, but not when I think of it as the head of the alliance... blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You've won a little too much. The military balance is so out of order, it sucks."
"... I see. Well, there's a lot of bad things about being great."
Earlier in the total force battle, the EAP won a military victory. Payment of compensation, etc. has been delayed, but the seizure of the warship used by Enzio has been carried out in kind. In the Alpha universe today, the EAP had an overwhelming military power.
"There's nothing I can do if Lynn can fully grasp the alliance..."
Taro himself knows very well that it is impossible. Democratic organisation has many advantages but also drawbacks. If public opinion were to discuss the RS alliance, the EAP would have to follow suit. If this is fabricating authoritarian politics like Dingo, we can also base our policy on the person's own trust and credibility.
"In some cases, we have to assume a hostile situation with the EAP… If the EAP is hit by the entry of the Empire, the regional equilibrium will be preserved. If it's available, I'll use it in the empire or whatever... Hmm, you've gotten a lot worse too."
That's what Marl says with a sigh. Taro peered into her face, roughly wondering if she would have been frightened for a moment, but Marr smiled like a mischievous child, "Just kidding".
"I'm not a kid either. I know what's going on around there. Sometimes you'll need to make tough decisions in the future... but in that case, I'll go out with you, too, so talk to me now."
With a gentle smile, Marl as I tell you. Taro was impressed by Marl's words and said, "Marl!!," but her wonderful right hook cut his consciousness in an instant.
