Chapter 146 Council of Ministers

[Central and Ougon continents] ---------------------------------

It is the smallest of several continents, but it is also one that everyone admires. In the middle is the Imperial Palace, which is also the residence of the Emperor, the ruler of the world.

Surrounded by rock walls that block intruders, it's like a building built underneath a giant volcano. In fact, it is very difficult to break in from the outside, and most of it has to come from the sky, but it is decided to be shot down by a guard soldier.

The central rocky mountain symbolizing this [Ougon continent] is called Mount Tenrokuzan, and has been worshipped since ancient times as a mountain from which God has descended. The emperor who lives in it is respected as being in the same position as God.

And the "Five Ministers", who were elected by the emperor who is recognized as being the same as the god, have visions, fears, etc. as continuous existence of God compared to others.

Exactly on the clouds. Even though living in the Imperial Palace itself was chosen, the deviation among them was the "Five Ministers". That is why the power they possess is so great that it is not strange for their necks to fly if they try to behave lightly as kings of a nation.

The "five ministers" lacked one, and were now facing each other in the conference room.

"Ha, when will he be back?

Speaking with his head stunned, he was the leader of "The Emperor's Right Arm" in the "Five Ministers" ----- Scarlet Cheng (Strain) · Emperor (Thrace). He is from [Japan] with dark eyes and hair color. The black hair has turned white everywhere to make you feel in your 50s.

"Hahaha, don't you have any ~? Because traveling is interesting ~"

Arkoko Bistočka, an innocent peach-haired young man, is the chef who unites the chefs who make the meal the Emperor eats, called The Emperor's Kitchen.

"Um... I'd like you to wrap me up like this, but... uhh, my stomach hurts..."

"Um, Hizumi, please, it's a good stomach medicine."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Linne-kun."

"No... that's all I can do..."

It is Linne Alto Landberg, the Emperor's Medicine, who speaks with such humility. Though he seems weak in detail, he is a pharmacist entrusted with the task of the Emperor's health. A woman with long yellow-green hair tied neatly behind her back.

Scarlett, who poured the medicine received from Linne with tea and exhaled warmly, thanked Linne and then spoke to another person with eagle-like eyes.

"Rob, what do you think? I'd like to retire early and leave it to young people, if possible."

"... no, Hizumi is still active. Do you think there is anyone who can take your place?

A faceless person who can't see the ups and downs of feelings that make a faint statement. It will make a cold impression on those you meet for the first time. He is responsible for collecting all kinds of information, known as "The Emperor's Ear" by the name of Rob Verch.

"Ha, that idiot, come back soon. I don't think there's a coup problem or anything until he comes out..."

"But Mr Grouse said. I think this coup is quite deep-rooted....."

When Linnet spoke with a weak voice, Scarlett clasped her knees to the table and supported her face.

"... that's why."

Huh?

"Whatever enemies have appeared, we will never touch the Emperor's fangs as long as the Five Ministers are here. Whether it's the country or Golden Bandit, I believe there is no one who can break the power of our unity."

"Ooh, what a splendid word. Sasugata is the leader of The Five Ministers! I wonder if everyone will try to admire you ~"

"Ugh, the pressure is getting worse... Arkoko, why don't you take over for me?

"Yeah, absolutely not. 'Cause it's going to be a mess ~"

"If so, Linne-kun?

"Ehhhhhhhhh!? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! I still dazzle sometimes!

"Well then, Rob...."

"I refuse. I think I deserve this position."

"... Linne-kun, can you give me another pill?

"Ah, yes!

Scarlett sighs loudly as she rubs her stomach. Then I put the stomach medicine provided by Linnet back into my throat and took a breath.

Fu ~, I'm already old.

"By the way, Scarlett, regarding this coup, the Emperor said that he would delegate full powers to us, but how do you plan to intercept it?

When Rob asked, Scarlett closed his eyes when he put his arms together.

"Well, more than he's moving, perhaps the coup d 'état [Ruvino Country] will be crushed. There is no problem even if I leave it. Rather, the problem is dealing with the Golden Bandits that exist everywhere. Probably looking at the plane and attacking. Prepare the guards for first class and place them outside. I don't think it's a problem to take them down before they get on this continent."

"But shouldn't there be any intruders from the sky?

"Then we should deal with it. Access to this Imperial Palace is limited. We have no choice but to invade from the sky. You just have to clean it up."

"I see. So [Zouan Continent] should leave it to Lord Grouse, right?

I see. According to the report, [Saphir Country] and [Topajo Country] are also moving, so don't worry about them. "

"Well, let's tell Disarmament to move like that."

"Hahaha, you're starting to feel like a festival! Can I cook that day, too?

"You're being too careless, Arkoko... please don't make me have any weird problems. Don't tease my stomach any more....."

"Yeah, I'll fix it!

"No, don't forget to protect me...."

Scarlett felt anxious about Arkoko's words and deeds, causing her cheeks to convulse and her shoulders to drop. Then I asked Linnet for stomach medicine again.

Saudi bats and touches Balmunk and Yoyo's escort, and Balmunk is entrusted with the protection of the Mansion and returns.

In the next three days, the war will begin to stop the coup in [Ruvino Country], but I think it is dangerous to fight without knowing the other party very well, so Sawji decided to go to [Ruvino Country] alone with Yoyo's permission.

Judging that it was actually necessary to check the outer walls of the country and combat power with his own eyes, Sawji was now lurking in the woods a little away from [Ruvino Country].

(Hmm, do you want to stick it in and see how it goes?

If it is judged dangerous, it is assumed that there is no problem because it can be transferred to Yoyo immediately. However, it would be troublesome if the magic were to be sealed, so I decided to keep an eye on the surroundings for a while, taking into account the possibility.

There are always soldiers patrolling the exterior walls, and there are quite a few of them. I wonder if they are vigilant enough to deal with us whenever we are attacked.

(It would be best if you could go straight into the castle and take care of it all at once, but don't let Baru get distracted...)

It's nothing but a compliment to the opponent. In other words, the more Balmunk launches that word, the creepier the opponent is. After all, if the country is the other party, it will not be a single rope.

(Anyway, get as much information as you can get right now)

When he made that decision, Soji worked to gather the information.
