Sword of the Philosopher

Commencement of negotiations

Princess Emena, in addition to her escort, entered the room where the men of the organization waited with Yunoh.It was like a conference room, where there was a man in a robe.

Princess Emena, have a nice day.

"... I don't want to be flattered. Can I start talking?"

"Yeah... who's that?"

Look at Yunoh, not at the escort.First of all, the first gate.

"She... is Yuno-Eriten, a fellow I know and trust during my journey."

And I said... when I heard the journey, the man whispered "I see."It seems that I quickly understood how I got to know him.

I check men.A scholarly figure who feels like a researcher everywhere...Dark-haired and dark-eyed, somehow looks like a staff officer type.I don't wear glasses or anything, but if I wear them, it seems to make me look suspicious.

Could he be a little over 20?If he is an executive, his organization has a long history, so I get the impression that he is a lot younger... No, I think this is just an assumption that the executive of the organization came here, so maybe just someone with connections to the executive came.

Well, let me introduce myself.

When Yunoh explained, he stood up and bowed his name.

"My name is Billy Lonted. I am one of the people involved in the operation of the organization" Warriors of the Stars "."

"... executives, is that okay?"

When Yuno asked casually, he nodded instantly.

"Yes, I was wondering if you'd like to meet me like that."

Honestly, it's a delicate question of whether it's true or not... but anyway, as Princess Emena and the others, we need to face each other more than just the names of the executives.

"Well, I met Princess Emena once and I told her about it, but let me explain it again.Our purpose is extremely simple.Survival of the organization… I don't know how far the investigation is going, but at least the members of our organization were working in partnership with Prince Livina… You know that fact.But many of the people in the organization are irrelevant.Therefore, I would like to discuss it for the sake of organizational survival. "

"... let me start from our point of view."

Princess Emena opens her mouth.

"We also have a certain understanding of your offer.If it was caused not by the organization as a whole, but by some people in the organization, I think it makes sense for you to move to protect the organization. "

Well then...

"But"

Princess Emena tells him to block Billy's words.

"There's no way to verify that what you're saying is true."

I see, that's true.

"Honestly, you guys are trustworthy... at least you can talk to me properly at the negotiating table.I don't even know that, so it's difficult for us to deal with it. "

"... yes, if we think about Prince Livina, we understand that we are not trustworthy people."

"So, how do we discuss this?"

"That's right... how about I give you the information you want?Now that you're at the discussion table, you'll have some doubts.If so, if you can provide what you want, will you at least recognize that it is enough to negotiate? "

It's like a business deal... but is it a good drop-off?

What is information?

Princess Emena asks. And Billy,

"Information about Prince Livina... and one more thing.What kind of research was Prince Livina doing? "

I mean, about the Star God, huh?

"... I understand the former. But about the latter research, you think we're convinced?"

"The princess probably learned about Prince Livina's research during her journey."

--It's as if she knows what kind of journey Princess Emena has been on.If there were a reincarnated person, I'd assume they had information in that connection...

"And it turns out that the content of the study is dangerous.Technologies currently used in the Holy Kingdom of Rebate… The technologies that have developed in recent years are quite often the result of the Prince's research, but if they go deeper, they become dangerous.Is that why it means a lot to stop? "

It's a subtle story… at least why Princess Emena stopped Prince Livina.It seems to recognize that there are other elements as well as what it means to prevent an assassination.

"In that case, our information is… above all necessary because it is closely related to Prince Livina's research?"

"... I see, that's true."

Princess Emena is convinced. Then what do you ask?

"Can I ask for both information?"

"Yes, but if so..."

"I will consider the survival of the organization as much as possible… except for one question"

"Questions?"

"If someone acted arbitrarily, wouldn't it be necessary to negotiate if they proved it in some way?"

"We don't want to lose the organization, just in case.This discussion is literally an anomaly in the anomaly.But we had to... indirectly, but we tried to hurt the princess.In other words, treason. Originally, all those involved would be sentenced to death, and disintegration of the organization would be natural.But by talking to the princesses, we're exploring the possibility of survival. "

It was supposed to be a connection to Prince Livina, but using it, I guess it's the idea of the princess...If this story is true, it is certain that the tissue is not a single rock.From the reports we've received from Devils, I'm sure that's true.

Now, how will Princess Emena respond... and most importantly, the information over there.First of all, what kind of information can I hear while asking how the other person came from?We should check from there.

After a while, Princess Emena opened her mouth.
