(18) The presence of the Great Spirit
The Great Spirit is not a good being to call out easily and should not be used so easily.
Sigel firmly has that idea.
That is because every time before, the Philomenas have taught us common sense about the Great Spirit, and Siegel himself has made the perception that he is different from the other covenant spirits.
Sometimes that Sigel is acting inconsistently in this case because he wants to defend himself and Laura even by pushing the idea.
What's more, I sometimes thought I could sweeten up a little bit to the Great Spirit for the future.
In time, I took confirmation well in advance with Merriage, but even for Sigel, I got a more than expected reaction.
Thanks to this, it can be said that Sigel and Laura could have wished for a discussion with Adolf without any worries.
In Sigel, the idea of using more of the Great Spirit in this case didn't come up.
Laura said without changing her expression to Adolph, who looks tough and sees herself.
"I seem to return your words, but how do you see in one country a being that is free to invoke the Great Spirit?
When Laura asked, the air solidified on the spot.
Even Adolph just couldn't return the words immediately, and the time was running out.
Regardless of when I reigned as king when I was younger, I can call it an unlikely lapse these days.
Still, Adolph was the first to make the resurrection.
"- What?
I have the thought that my daughter (Laura) could not have lied to herself in a place like this, but still it was inevitable to turn the look of doubt.
I expected Laura to do the same, so there's nothing offensive about it.
On the contrary, I went on to say with a little sympathy mixed up.
"I know how you feel, but it's true"
Unlike human beings, I have never heard of even elves who are said to be highly suited to the Spirit, following the Great Spirit.
For that reason, it's only natural to assume that no matter how much we talk about it from Laura, it's incredible.
Laura didn't feel angry or sad either because she knew exactly how it felt.
I just want to make a few apologies in my heart for what's about to happen.
Still, to the families who were turning their suspicious gaze somewhere, Laura sighed small before looking at Sigel.
I heard it would be this kind of flow from the start, so Sigel also took action by just nodding small.
"Merriage, please"
When Sigel said that, the atmosphere on the spot changed all at once.
Specifically, it became like being crushed by invisible air.
The knights in heavy armor for the escort were accidentally leaking a small groan in such a way that no one blamed it.
With the exception of Sigel, who called him in, and Laura, who knew he was coming from the beginning and was mindful, he was overwhelmed by beings who appeared without any foretaste.
Sigel bowed his head small to Merriage, who manifested himself by his own calling.
Though I was saying it beforehand, I thought I needed to thank you for coming out.
"Thanks for coming"
"It's okay. When I can't get my hands off you, I'll get in touch with you.... Though I rarely think I would be in that situation"
Sigel laughed back at Merriage, who said so with a small laugh.
The question boiled down as to what the hell was going on about the situation where the Great Spirit would be unable to let go of his hand, but he never spoke of it here.
On the other hand, seeing Sigel in conversation with the Great Spirit who cared dearly, all the other faces except Laura were flashy.
The heavy pressure I felt when the Great Spirit came out has already subsided.
Still, something like the pressure you feel from the Great Spirit doesn't mean you don't feel it at all anymore.
One scale of overwhelming power, where the Great Spirit was merely said to be the Great Spirit, was felt sufficiently throughout his body.
Laura, who watched that look with a slightly spare look, greeted Sigel and Merriage (?) waited for it to end before starting to talk.
"Are you convinced?
When Laura asked that, Adolphe, who was finally solidifying, lowered his head toward Merriage in a hurried manner.
"- I didn't expect to see you in a seat like this..."
"It's okay. It's more important to move on now than that?
It was Adolph who was stopped on his way to greet him with ease, but he couldn't be angry about it.
In this world, the Great Spirit is in such a position.
Sigel said with regret to Adolf, who, while in the position of king, glanced at his emotions just a little and looked at them with a resentful look.
"Excuse me, because to get you to believe me, it's still something I was told you should call the real thing"
That's right, but suddenly not calling out the Great Spirit without prior notice was the feeling of everyone who was here at this time.
Of course, I can't say that in front of the Great Spirit (Merriage) standing beside Sigel with a smile on his face.
"Well, I guess so..."
Adolph could only do that with his gaze on the Hiragana and the Great Spirit.
Even when she spoke from her real daughter (Laura), it was inevitable to turn a suspicious eye.
Sigel and Laura are right to say that they decided to call the real thing because it could have been anticipated.
And that is why it was also made a reality that even a king of a country could not easily cope.
Specifically, I continue to do so today with an attitude that I should not show as a king, but I cannot help but ask the Great Spirit to return to suppress it.
The Adolphs feel the difference in power from the Great Spirit.
Sigel, who quickly understood what Adolf was trying to say, said as he turned his gaze to Laura to make sure she nodded and then looked at Merriage.
"I'm sorry to call you so soon, but once you do, can I have you back?
"Okay. There's nothing better for Siegel than being here."
Merriage, who responded so with a smile to Sigel's words, nodded once before disappearing from the spot.
Just like when I showed up, it was enough to make me think that what had happened during blinking had been a dream.
Laura said with a bitter smile as the heavy pressure from Merriage disappeared and she looked stunned.
"I'll tell you what, it was a dream. Don't have any sweet thoughts"
"... I know. We are the ones who taught them that it is their role as exchangers to deal with reality, not just following dreams and ideals."
That's what Adolf said to Laura with a big sigh.
Still, it still seemed inevitable to turn a resentful gaze, with a slightly obstinate face.
By the way, Adolph's response was still there, and the lads and cains in attendance looked at Sigel as if they were still solidified as statues.
Laura nodded once and then said to Adolf, who was pointing a dazed gaze at Sigel.
"So did you understand that this request was legitimate?
"I should say I don't want to admit it if it were meant to be, but I guess I'll have to admit it"
To Laura's inquiry, Adolf nodded as if he had chewed up a bitter worm.
Simply because if you see Sigel as a force of war, it is only natural that you want to use any hand to get it as a country.
It is all the more so because in history there is supposedly no such thing as a presence that freely invokes the Great Spirit.
Even if we do not see it as a force of war, the country to which the presence that was following the Great Spirit belonged allows us to keep the name of the country in history.
The benefits became immeasurable, and it was a natural emotion as an exchanger to want to draw anything into the formation.
However, in the case of large countries such as the Kingdom of Horstadt, the situation changes only slightly.
In the first place, a great power doesn't have to incorporate the power of the Great Spirit to get enough glance at the surrounding countries.
Unless you have an ambition to wage war between the big countries and expand your land even further, if not, one measure is to avoid going out of your way to get suspicious from the surrounding countries.
If one great power has the Great Spirit as a force of war, it may also provide extra stimulus to other great powers.
It was Sigel's and Laura's thought suggestion that a presence like Sigel, which could be like a bomb on the verge of an outbreak if poorly done, should be dated at a moderate distance rather than held directly by itself.
And that was in line with Adolf's doctrinal claim that he thought it would be better to boost home affairs than to take expansionism that would weirdly spread the land.
It wasn't just that he didn't want Sigel involved in politics, it was that Adolf began to wonder what he should do to talk about the benefits for the Kingdom of Holstadt.
