Three days have passed since the friendly flowers were burned with fire magic LV5. There was no change in the boundary. After all, as Crimean said, if we burn them down with strong fire, the flowers will disappear.

Seeing the results, Sidi's expression didn't go away. Inside her chest, the anxiety has not yet been resolved.

I know exactly how it feels. As long as the flowers of friendship are in complete isolation, it is possible to deal with them with fire magic, but burning the flowers of friendship that have spread to the earth requires absolute magic. Well, I can handle it to some extent, but there are limits to it. Now, only the Grand Duchy of Faal has been damaged, but if this spreads around the world, I won't be able to deal with it as much as I can.

Moreover, even if you burn out a vast area of flowers, the damage done to the land is considerable. The flowers were exterminated, but since then the land has become a wasteland with no crops. In addition, if the extermination fails, the flowers will bloom there again..... I have a headache when I think about it.

Nevertheless, I think Vieille thought well. Even though you have a magician who can handle the fire magic of LV5, its scope is limited. This means that if we can control the extent of extermination according to the rate at which the flowers breed, the country can become a Crimean country forever. Against their will, the flowers will breed indefinitely and the country will perish.

About that clever little girl. I don't think you'll suddenly reach out to Agarta, but you must think that you can eventually swallow this Agarta if you use those flowers to nationalize each country on your side.

"What the hell does Vieille want?

That night, when the children were sleeping and listening to today's report in the dining room with Rico, I overheard that.

I know you have ambitions to conquer the world. But what would that girl do to the world if her ambitions were fulfilled? I can't see that futuristic image at all.

"There are probably two."

It was Rico who opened his mouth. Everyone's gaze is on her. Rico continued to say more as he looked around everyone's face.

"One thing is to be king of this world. The other one is you, Linos."

"Me?"

"I'm sure he wants to go beyond you."

"Do you think the dream of world domination will be much closer if you give in to me?"

"I'm sure there are some of them... In other words, he feels delighted to surrender to his favorite gentleman."

I knew it, Dos, that little girl.

Does?

"No, I'm talking about this. Now, if I crawl in front of that little girl and beg for forgiveness, will she be satisfied...?"

"Probably,"

"Well, if that's how the world goes in a great direction, I'll keep my head down as much as I can.... No matter how much I crawl, I don't think I'm going in the right direction."

Siddy nods deeply at my words.

"If you want to do that, you'd better do it in front of Rico."

……

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Rico doesn't like that type of boy. If you don't have a man who can talk to Rico on an equal footing, if you're not a strong man, you're not going to fall in love."

"That's not true."

Redness appeared on Rico's face. The expression is very cute.

"Anyway"

As if Rico was hiding the television, he continued to speak with his posture correct. I'll do the same for her.

"I'm not taking this off my speculative doctor, but I think the biggest factor that Vieille is trying to dominate the world is where he's trying to keep himself safe."

"Safe?

"He's always wanted his life. I've seen people killed by the same family. I don't trust anybody, and I think it's the quickest way to make sure you're safe."

"I see. If you take the world, you won't have to be killed... No, but even if you take the world, those who try to scratch their necks won't disappear. Rather, I'm afraid of it this time, and I think it's likely to be the worst kind of dark politics ahead of us."

"That's the only way to believe it, or he won't be able to move forward...."

I wonder. Well, anyway, that flower doesn't look like a rope. Tomorrow, I will tell the Grand Duke that the LV5 fire magic made it possible to exterminate that flower. However, telling them does not mean that the Grand Duchy of Faure can be saved. Well, in the worst case scenario, I would go to that country to exterminate it, but it's more important than that to find a way to exterminate that flower in a way other than magic. May, Siddy. I know it's tough, but... please don't. "

They nodded slowly at my words.

"This is... my intuition, but... I have a hunch it's going to work out."

I see. If Sidi says so, I'm sure she'll find a better way. "

"I'm sure you'll be fine."

Everyone nodded at Sidi's voice.

◆ ◆ ◆

Around the same time, the Grand Duke taste of the Grand Duke of Faure and his brother, the Duke of Hearts, were in the same room of the hotel in Agarta.

"I'm thinking of returning home soon. I can't leave the country for long."

The Duke of Hearts nods deeply at his words.

Hertz, come home with me.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

"Cellulite"

"Yes...."

"Please."

……

"I know that putting the Grand Duke of Faure on your shoulders is terrible. But now you're not the only one that counts. Please."

Cellulite lowers her head while making noise.

"Lord Mermo"

The Grand Duke looks at his mother, who is standing next to Cellulite. She is looking straight at the Grand Duke.

"Can you do me one favor?"

"If the Grand Duke says so, what is it?"

"Hmm. It's really tough, but... Stay here in Agarta and help Cellulite."

"Uncle...."

Cellulite glanced at the Grand Duke. He nodded small, gazing at her and Chilari.

"I thought it would be better if I simply studied abroad to live alone in this country. But in the future, Cellulite will have to work for the best people in the world. The burden is not hard to imagine. I'm sorry, Mermo, but I need you to stay in this country and help Cellulite. That will relieve the physical and spiritual burden of Cellulite."

"... I understand."

"Mother....."

Mermo turned to her daughter Cellulite without changing her expression. Then he held her hand gently and spoke with a small voice.

"Good luck, Cellulite. My mother is with me."

Tears were pouring out of Cellulite's eyes. She nodded many times while holding her mother's hand with both hands.

While crying, Cellulite was ready in her heart. Whatever you do, you have to get rid of that flower and show it to me. I've never been worried about my parents before, but here I am, filial piety to my parents.

Cellulite put his strength into his mother's hand.
