Gaiden 1-1: Japan and the Quilla Kingdom

■ Quila Kingdom Ballat

Desolate scenery, dry wind blowing ... While looking around, no forest can be seen, and what can be called trees grows sparsely.

Sandy seas, sandy towns, thin land where crops do not grow. People live poorly, and not only is it called a barbaric nation by other nations, but also the kingdom of Quila, nicknamed "poor country".

People despair for their daily lives with so much poverty and are desperate to live. "I'll do my best to make tomorrow better than today."

The people born and raised in this country go to work in the rich, green neighborhood of Principality of Kwa Toine.

Earn foreign currencies through national staffing, mercenary employment, etc., and import food from the Principal.

Principal Kuwa Toine sold food to the kingdom of Kuira at a low price, so it could be said that it was the lifeline of the kingdom.

The Royal Palace nobleman Metzsar, who is in charge of diplomacy in the kingdom of Quila, waits in the room for an ambassador to the Principality of Kwa Tyne, who has hoped to meet with him because of "immediate requirements."

(What is the sudden requirement?-What is the change in the Kingdom of Louria?)

Various possibilities run through his head.

The Kingdom of Louria is a supreme humanistic country that despises non-human species as sub-humans (being less than humans). A hegemonic nation that seeks to unify the Rodenius continent, where Lauria, Kwa Toine, and Quila exist, and tensions have continued, especially recently. Because Metzal itself is a species called a dwarf, it is unclear what would happen if it fell under the control of the kingdom of Louria.

The door of the room opened as I was thinking about the contents of the meeting. Kwa Toine's diplomat Paine enters the room with a sense of tension.

Metsaru stood and greeted him, and greetings were all right.

"What is a sudden requirement?"

"Actually, an emerging nation called" Japan "has come to Japan to seek diplomatic relations."

"Ho"

It is not unusual to have diplomatic relations with emerging countries. That is not a "short requirement" at a meeting between nations.

Pain continues.

"We decided to send a delegation to Japan before opening diplomatic relations. We will decide whether to have diplomatic relations later."

"So that's it……"

"I came to Japan because I wanted to have diplomatic relations with the Quila Kingdom and asked me to mediate."

It was not yet a “sudden requirement”, and Metsaru cut it out.

"And then, it seems like you were in a hurry at first ... but something unusual?"

Pain, who was first, is silent for a while. Slightly opened his heavy mouth.

"Actually, that country is too special."

Despite being prepared, Metsusar cannot understand the description of a "special emerging nation" and suffers from his shoulders.

Pain talked about a flying object belonging to Japan that suddenly flew and the existence of a super-large ship carrying an ambassador. The former says that it flies at 600 km / h without flapping, and that the latter is a steel boat with a total length of about 250 m.

Metsal was incredibly incredible and looked away.

"... I can't believe it. If it were true, it would be a country in the civilized territory. !! ''

"That's right, but they seem to have alleged, 'Suddenly, the whole country has been transferred from another world .'... It's a little unknown country. I'll send you information again if the mission results come out I'll do it. ''

"Thank you. But a new threat, do you know what the tribal composition of Japan is like?"

Metsal asked when he was concerned about the proportion of non-human species.

If a country has a high proportion of human species, it is necessary to consider the possibility of persecution of other species.

"It's like ... it's made up of only human species."

"Well ... what a !! Then there are no dwarves, beasts, or elves?"

"……Yes"

"You may have persecuted or attacked other than humans, such as the Kingdom of Louria. I do not want to be involved in such a country."

Pain gently controls Metsaru's enhanced language.

"We don't yet know what kind of country they are, but we do have the skills to approach the great powers, and there is the fact that they are interested in us. If you hostile with two nations, you won't have one. ''

Metzal regains its calm as the custodian of the diplomacy of a country.

"Mm ... it looks a little too hot. So we'll accept the messengers in Japan and try to listen to them alone. Thank you."

At a later date, a meeting place will be set up as the first contact between the Kingdom of Kuila and Japan.

■ After about one week

The day of the first meeting between the Quilla Kingdom and Japan has arrived.

The Japanese ambassador came to the royal city of Barrato, away from the coast, and after obtaining permission to fly in advance, boarded a sea-based ship (which is explained by the Japanese side) with a helicopter called a flying machine. . The first time you see a flying object in the sky with roars and storms, you will be amazed.

The location has been moved to the reception room of the Kuila Foreign Affairs Bureau, and a formal greeting has been given to a representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, and a talk has started.

"Once again, I'm Uda of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan.

Metsaru, who has not yet been alert, raises one eyebrow lightly against a human species.

"I heard from the Principality of Kwa Toine that you are a highly skilled country. What does Japan want from a poor country like us?"

If Japan had "I want human resources for sacrifice," "intervention in the political system," or "territorial ambition," I was going to claim it.

"First of all ... we don't want our friends to be rich or poor. We just want to keep a lot of countries and contacts open. Next we've heard from Kwa Toine. So, your country is overflowing with a lot of "burning water"? I saw a sample, and I want you to export it to our country.Forex-money rate is undecided, so until these are decided In the meantime, we will export the infrastructure. ''

Metsusar feels relieved that it is unlikely that the situation was a concern. However, he heard that the object of the deal was "burning water," and was confused this time. In the Kingdom of Kuila, "burning water" was synonymous with roadside stone.

"Sure ... burnt water that can't be used to produce crops is squirting in large quantities in Japan. However, it's a liquid, so it's extremely difficult to use. And even if you try to make a water supply and suck it up, the liquid leaks out of the seam and it smells irresistible.

"No, stones are great, but what we are looking for is burning water. Uh ..."

The Japanese ambassador takes out two pieces of high quality paper.

"How about under these conditions?"

One was written in a character that Metsaru could not read. The other is a bilingual chart that lists some common continental languages, and for the first time I realize that Japan is originally a different language.

As you read along, the conditions were the contents of the development of various infrastructures that were a source of pain for the kingdom of Quilla, and were in good condition that you could not believe immediately.

(This is ... just a few pouring ponds of burning water that can't be used, and the country becomes much richer ...)

"Is this condition true? I think it would take considerable human resources and time to get such a large-scale construction ..."

All of the works presented are those that require human intervention. He asks, seemingly unrealistic.

"I have a document about Japan and I will explain it briefly."

Uda plays the video introducing Japan on a laptop computer and shows it to Metsaru.

High-rise buildings that penetrate the sky, rich nature, and beautiful four seasons. Metsal is amazed by the video showing the construction methods and order for infrastructure development.

Everything is a landscape and technology that we have never seen before, and we come to understand that Japan is a country comparable to the world's powers.

The authenticity of the image can be heard from the Principality of Kwa Toine, which dispatched a mission to Japan.

Knowing that non-human races were not originally in the country and discrimination was not the cause, Metsar finally decided to escalate to King Kuila.

Later, the Kuira Kingdom entered into diplomatic relations with Japan, and with ample support, gained the richest since the beginning of the history of the Kuila Kingdom. As a poor country in the world, the country will become famous in the world as a friendly nation of Japan alongside the Principality of Kwa Toine.
