Three hundred and seventeen

"Oh well, with a lot of kids. You look happy and reassured."

When Mira finished talking about Artesia's current situation, Alma laughed in such a way that she had a heartfelt relief.

Also, Esmeralda looks happy. "Good for you," he says. I guess I was just very curious as a saint, "I wonder how much I've lifted my arms since then. Wow that bothers me".

The Nine Wise Men "Artesia of the Sacrament" and the Twelve Apostles "Esmeralda of the Word of God". Both of them were saints, and then they were growing in different directions.

Esmeralda was good at attacking and fortifying Artesia in response to her recovery and defensive proximity.

That, in a way, is largely due to differences between countries and, above all, fellow citizens.

Although there is a shield named Solomon, the rest is an alkite team full of magicians whose defenses are only decorative. Thus, recovery and defense stretched to compensate for it.

The Nirvana team, with a solid alignment of warrior classes, has a very high benefit from physical strengthening. However, due to the small number of magicians, the attack power from surgery is insufficient. That's why even sacred art has a turn to attack.

"I wonder if I can see you..."

Alma uttered those words. It seemed to miss somewhere and was also a voice that included hope.

"Hmm, that must be pretty hard"

Mira gives that back to Alma's whining. Esmeralda also said, "Right. Because Alma will need a good reason to leave the country," he continued unfortunately.

Thinking in common sense, there's no way the queen of a great power can leave the country to just meet one individual, etc. If it's possible, we need reasons such as visiting Al Qaeda as diplomacy. Currently, however, it is during a festival to name the country. I can't go any further.

Calling Artesia is another difficulty. Even though Alma wants to see you, there's no way she's going to leave those orphans.

And those reasons were the fact that Alma and Esmeralda, who knew Artesia well enough, were also well aware of it.

"Well, maybe we can do it."

Still, I'd like to make you see him, but it's about love. With just a few thoughts, Mira looked difficult, but suggested that it was possible.

"Really!?"

When Alma eats, Esmeralda also looks interesting and sends her gaze to Mira. With those two expectations, Mira prefaced that Nirvana might be able to do something about it before giving details.

If you want me to shoot the general...

Given Alma's position, it's impossible to get out of here first. If so, there is nothing but calling Artesia. And to do that, we just have to invite the orphanage kids to this festival, not Artesia.

Now Nirvana boils at the Grand Martial Arts Games. The venue has lots of other things to offer. There was a place here for the kids to fully enjoy themselves.

If the child were to be pleased, Artesia, the child priority, would always accept the invitation. And naturally, you should come with me.

After that, we just need to meet in due time.

"But you don't have to pay attention to things like how you invite them. When you treat one orphanage specially, you won't like it from anywhere else."

Mira, who explained various things, closed so at the end. The presence of a large country called Nirvana is what leads to the problem. There will also be those who doubt why.

As a result, troublesome things may happen. It may also be possible for those who find themselves in the presence of Artesia deep in the fringe with Alma.

I don't want to keep those troublesome sparks as close as I can to the orphanage, which hasn't been long since I relocated them yet, but Mira, who drew Alma's feelings, added only to try to cooperate if necessary.

After hearing Mira's proposal, Alma starts to think straight. And a few minutes later, I opened my eyes cuttingly and said, "I can do this!" He raised his voice.

"Ho, did you come up with anything?

When Mira asked, Alma nodded with a confident smile somewhere.

"Recently, with Mr. Solomon's accent. I was able to establish a business route through St. Polly. More than a decade after the day I was surprised to find a harbor on such a western cliff, I couldn't negotiate as much as I wanted, thanks to Mr. Solomon. So why don't you say thank you and send an invitation to the kingdom of Alkite? You know, to celebrate the new orphanage or something."

Alma, who spoke so once and for all, sees Esmeralda just wondering.

"I can't deny that it feels a little forceful. But you have a history of being aggressive about orphanage policy, so you can't help but convince me. The queen's usual habits have appeared again."

Yes. When Esmeralda answered, Alma looked away softly.

Whether Artesian influences or native ones, Alma was also aggressive when it came to children. Not as severe as Artesia, though. It's just to the extent that you can never pretend not to see a crying child.

But if such a man were to be the queen of the great kingdom, it would wield great power already. From the look of Esmeralda, Alma seems to have made a lot of noise in the past.

"Hmm, then I'm sure it won't be a problem. That's one thing, because Alkaite has an orphanage for Karanak. I think we should include that."

For quite a few reasons, jealousy from other countries would be contained. However, there must be no difference in the treatment of orphanages in the country. When Mira said the thing, she said, "Then I invite both!" Alma replied instantly.

"Well, that's not for sure..."

Even if it's easy to say I invite you, it should cost a lot. If it were the other, it would be even more expensive. But Alma didn't have any manners to worry about it.

"Uh... back and forth to Al Qaeda and..."

Alma started putting together a plan to invite Artesia by taking out her notebooks quickly and just quickly. The first thing she tried to decide was that means of transportation.

"By the way, no. Do you know how many kids there are?

"Sure enough, there were a hundred people at Artesia's place. But I don't know who Karanak is. Well, on a scale of less than a hundred."

In response to Alma's question, Mira added that there were also about ten people at Artesia like teachers and childcare workers who looked after the children.

"Humph... that's about it. Well, I guess the airship is medium enough."

Yes, even the plan is going to be decided. Besides, I should still say, a subtle airship came out within the plan. It seems to be here in Nirvana, although it is a fairly expensive, expensive substitute on a country-by-country scale. Moreover, it appears to own more than one vessel based on the fact that it is said to be medium-sized.

(If the transfer went wrong, I thought I'd ask Kagra again... no worries at all...)

The overwhelming difference in national power made Mira watch over the completion of one plan after another, feeling uncertain how many times it would be.

For a queen who can unite a great nation called Nirvana, it seems to be before breakfast to invite one or two of the orphanages to the country. Moreover, it is surprising because everything she plans to do is executed by her own personal possessions, not by the treasury.

"─ The place of stay was definitely an empty mansion in the Temple District."

"Yeah, it's still there. Because of its size, it wouldn't be a problem to have two hundred kids."

A unit of hundreds of millions emerges as a matter of course in the plan to come together instantly in consultation with Esmeralda as well. But there is no hesitation in Alma. Instead, the suggested Mira was restless wondering if it would be all right if it took so long.

"─ Okay, here's the thing. Tomorrow morning at first light, have them take it."

The reunion plan with Artesia was completed in a little more than enough of the stuff. We have only been uniting so many great powers for thirty years, and it seems that various information about the country is in Alma's, and Esmeralda's, head. The planning was so familiar as to give a glimpse of one of the great powers.

"Looks like it's over. Well, may I ask why you were brought here?"

While the Artesian Invitational Plan was under way, Mira, who was enjoying tea and sweets, said so with the sweets still in her hands.

I came to Alma in the first place because I heard that the assassins had something to do with it.

"Oh, I was. I'm sorry."

Alma, who was satisfied with the completed plan in his hand, deliberately re-divides it with "Kohon", laughing bitterly, as I recall.

"Uh, please, I'd like you to escort our witch."

Alma, who had corrected her posture, tried to change it and said something like that. Mira, by contrast, leans her neck in response to the words.

The beginning of the story was that a man named Yogue, who was the boss of the assassins, belonged to some sort of organization. More information about the organization and, in some cases, assistance would be required. Yes, Mira was thinking.

But it's not what I thought. It was a confused Mira, but I realize there's a familiar word there.

The three assassins, if you think about it, were also targeting people who would be 'witches'. That the witch's ability to see the future is in the way of an organization.

"What if..."

When Mira remembered the incident, she asked back directly. "─ A witch's escort with the ability to see the future," he said.

"You already knew that."

"Yeah, I heard the assassins talking."

To Alma, who looked a little surprised, Mira continued to laugh, "I told her every cry that I couldn't even find a trace of a witch," she replied.

"I've already hidden it thoroughly."

Alma, laughing back at it, was very proud. She said she was blocking information on the existence of witches at the level of state secrets.

"So the only witches with that ability do know that some of our upper echelons and the other one -" Ruler of the Dark Way, Eugust Gradin "- exist."

Alma's eyes, with its name on his mouth, were serious and at the same time cold and sharp. The colors hidden there are different from hatred and resentment. But there was strong hostility.

"Ruler of the Dark Road...... then? This is the first time I've heard of it. Who the hell is that?

That's the first name I've heard so far. Just out of the flow of the story, there is no doubt that it is deeply related to the organization, which is the main point of this one. Mira, who had a hunch so, re-sits deeply on the couch when it's going to be a long stretch.

And when Esmeralda rebrewed the tea, Alma began to elaborate on the outline of the matter.

It was about the darkness that spreads to society, which many countries continue to fight, as well as the Empire of Nirvana.

Chimera Clozen, previously destroyed in cooperation with the Fifty Bells Federation. Such a dark organization is said to still lurk behind this society.

One of those numbers, and yet the largest, is' Ila Muerte '. And Alma said it was this organization that was deeply involved in this case.

"So, after years of investigation, we found that this organization is made up of four pillars."

Yes, the foregoing Alma goes on to explain what the four pillars are.

One is a team that specializes in buying and selling weapons, medicines, etc. However, unlike other merchants, all of the products handled are black.

It is natural that it is stolen goods. There is also a range of items that are treasured by the backyard workers, such as dark utensils. It also includes illegal artefacts and poisons that are prohibited from being traded.

Assassination, robbery, pleasure killings, and all the things that this team will never be properly dealt with, all of which entail unemployed deaths. Even the merchants of death there have a bright blue job.

"It's not like there was a whole lot of people..."

By the poison sprinkled by the bandits, one village was destroyed. A nobleman full of justice fell before a dark vessel. Illegal artefacts burned all the woods and animals. etc. Mira, who heard of the damage Alma cited as an example, often leans down with a sinister face that it can do that much worse.

"Really, you're right"

Alma agreed to whine. She says this is a polar part, and it's still lighter. Ten percent of the crimes that occur across the continent are related to goods sold by this organization.

That was the influence that Mira would have had too.
