The first thing Yoyo wanted to ask Curie, who had grasped from Yurin, who was in charge, was:

"What do you think of this runaway in [Ruvino Country]?

"Runaway... is it that they are trying to unite with those who defy the Emperor and cause a coup?

"That's right."

"... they are certainly the same demons, but their relationship as a nation is severed."

"So whatever they do has nothing to do with [Topajo Country]... is that so?

"... yes"

It is Yoyo who stares at his eyes, but Culea can see Culea who can swim his eyes with a feeling of nowhere, and determine whether her will is somewhere else.

"King Culea, is that your personal idea?

"From what I've just heard, aren't you just a Norwegian king? What authority do you have to speak here?

It is Yurin who stands next to Culea who is being pursued severely. But that's where Nowem answers.

"Don't get me wrong. Yoyo Yatsuki Crowtail here is not the man I hired."

"Hired...? What's that supposed to mean?

Then Nowem told him of his purpose, based on his arrival at the house of Joyo.

"I see, I understand. So you hired her as a negotiator this time?

I see. That's why I want you to allow me to speak here. "

…………

Yurin will not be able to be dealt with anywhere if he is pleaded by a king of a kingdom. Yes, Yoyo brought Nowem along, including this. Everything is for the negotiations to go smoothly.

"... I am only close to the king. All at the will of the King."

"... yes, Yurin?

"Yes, but think about your country and your people and say something."

"... I see.... you said Yoyo, right?

"Yes"

Curea stares straight into Yoyo's eyes.

"Did you ask me if I wanted to?

"Exactly. With all due respect, it seems that King Culea's words and deeds so far reveal the complexion of Lord Yurin over there."

It's really rude.

Yurin's cold voice echoes. However, I was able to hear Yoyo's words and see that Curie's expression was as strong as if she had been struck by a star. That would have been passed on not only to Yoyo, but also to others. That's why Yurin frowned bitterly.

"If possible, I'd like to hear your candid opinion. Whether or not you really think doing nothing is good for your country."

…… Wouldn't doing nothing be good for the country?

Curie's tricks and deception don't suit her. That's what she says to be honest, so she probably thinks so.

"... did Yurin-sama tell you that?

"... Yurin?

As Curie gazes at Yurin, she shrugs her shoulders like hell.

"... joining the war means that the people... the country is exhausted. Even if we win, there will be no less casualties. But if you don't take this offer, nobody will get hurt."

Surely Yurin has a point.

"But I don't think what Yurin says is the worst possible scenario… I think it's a shallow idea."

"A shallow idea? Yoyo, even if it looks like this, Yurin always thinks about the country. I don't think it's a shallow idea.

Apparently, she placed great trust in Yurin and left everything in her country to herself. And Yurin, the result of her desperate efforts to support an untouchable king and keep the country intact by herself, must have created a closed country today.

However, there is a possibility that the country will eventually be crushed. I don't know if the opponent is the same demon or another race, but they don't interact with others. They don't grow larger when they grow smaller.

There is also the possibility of gradually weakening and being pushed through the gap to take over the country. No, it's probably because of Yurin.

However, her attitude conveys a will to avoid interactions with other countries. It turns out that [Topajo Country] was once betrayed by the same demons and the country was endangered.

That's why it's become a country that only truly opens its heart to trustworthy people, and it's become familiar to them.

Maybe Yurin's teeth are itchy. This is a shrinking country, but by freeing up the state of the clandestine country, there is a possibility of betrayal again. If you think so, you can understand Yurin's reluctance to make a decision. She is certainly thinking of her country.

"Yurin's thoughts are excellent. But as it stands, Yurin will realize that doom will come eventually."

"Ho, doom!? Yu, Yurin!?

Curie looked at Yurin in surprise. Yurin is also sweating from her forehead. Yoyo seems upset because his words are shooting at him.

"It's not a gentle word, Yoyo. What makes you think you can give up such bullshit?

"If you're talking nonsense, I don't think your face is that strong... Yurin?

"Hmm!?

"Believing is certainly a very difficult thing. If you have been betrayed unilaterally in the past."

…………

"But we don't want progress just because we're stuck in a shell. If you really think of the country... and the people, please take the hand of the King of Norway, who is here."

"... but there's no basis for trust."

Yurin stubbornly denies anything.

"... what do you think, King Culea?

Huh?

"Let me talk about the hypothesis. Suppose we fail by stopping the coup."

Culea stares at Yoyo in silence. Her throat is crackling like that.

"Perhaps the King of [the Kingdom of Luvino] will become a new emperor and rule the world. And perhaps [Topajo Country], a rebel force living in [Zouan Continent], will be crushed."

"Ha!?

"Not only here, [Saphire Country] will be crushed."

"That's not true....."

"Also, even if we win the war, if the emperor hears of your refusal to help, there is a possibility that a demonic crusade will be carried out."

"... eh?

"We may take action to destroy the enchanted demons to avoid the next rebellion."

Curea stares at Glows, the servant of Pat and the Emperor. Glows also quietly closed his eyes with a harsh look on his face.

"If it's possible... it's possible."

"Hmm!?

Shocked by Glouce's words, Curie blushes her face. And he turned to Yurin for help. But before that, Yoyo continued.

"There's only one way to solve this."

Culea, who turned to Yurin, looked back at Yoyo again.

"We are going to join hands, fight the [Country of Luvino] and stop the coup. That way, at least [Saphire Country] and [Topajo Country] will be safe zones."

…………

"Now, what do we do... King Culea?
