Tearmoon Empire Story

Lesson 36: Festival of Peace, Meerpik

Peace Festival Moon Goddess (Meer) 's Choice (Pick)

Now known as a global event, the horseback riding tournament was first held in the Tier Moon Empire, and the first event planned by the Empire's wisdom, Meer Luna Tier Moon, is also a well-known story.

Selected by the Moon Goddess (Meer), who illuminates all earthly darkness equally, the Games have been accepted by the people as a way to deepen friendly relations between nations, gathering proud riders from different countries, competing in their technical abilities, and celebrating each other's fights.

Such a meerpic, but of course some people take a critical view. When the size of the tournament grows, it is normal in the world for those who do not like it to appear.

Even if it was a meerpic initiated by the wisdom of the Empire, it was no exception.

Some say,

"What is the festival of peace?" This is a place to show off the cavalry strength of each country. It's just a place to show off your military might and intimidate others! "

and.

Certainly, many meerpic competitions are based on military coaches. I see, we can argue that we can show the cavalry their skills.

The statement had a certain persuasiveness.

But the wise followers of the Empire answered.

“I say that because I don't know what the wisdom of the Empire has done. Don't you know how much she has contributed to peace on the continent? Unlike the Esse pacifist, who only speaks, Empress Meer practiced making peace with her own way of life."

This editorial was also very convincing.

Since that time, her presence has already been known throughout the continent as the "Virgin Mother who makes peace".

They argue that such a competition started by Empress Meir was a good example of a display of military power.

So which one is right?

A student at St. Meer's once asked the Empress Meer.

"With what sentiment did Lord Meir start the Meerpic?" To strengthen the cavalry, to find a good rider? To show off your power? Or are we just trying to keep the peace and friendliness of our soldiers? ”

In response to that question, Empress Meir opened her eyes in amazement for a moment, and said that she had an indescribable bitter smile.

And finally, I never answered the question.

"Why, she avoided speaking plainly..."

Many historians have repeatedly thought about finding meaning in their bitter smiles.

Some people inadvertently laughed at their good intentions as if they had been taken by the public.

Some people said that they lost their words in grief because of a distortion that was too far away from their own thoughts.

There was also the theory that she bitterly smiled at the innocence of the child, saying that such a thing was something that she didn't have to think about.

A number of theories emerged, but in the end no one knew what they meant. Because she didn't tell me the answer.

But can't you think of anything like this?

Empress Meir didn't dare to say an answer, but entrusted it to us who would live the rest of our lives...

Will it be a festival of peace, or will it be a place to show off the military power of various countries...?

Isn't that what the wisdom of the empire thought, whether to entrust the responsibility for the interpretation to those who will live afterwards, or to their own children?

You're the ones who give the answers... didn't you dare give us the right answers to the questions we can answer?

It could have been her prayer.

I want my children to build a wise and glorious future for the children of the Empire and the children of the continent...

Or maybe it was trust.

"I'm sure the children will be fine..." "If you inherit the peace we've built and go further from there..."

We have received that trust... so how should we live?

I would like each of you to give me the answer. [M]

Excerpt from a congratulatory speech to the graduates of the 20th Dean of St. Meir School

... well... it's a global festival and horseback riding tournament meerpic that also appears in the congratulations to graduates... what did Meer start thinking about, actually...

"Oh... this is quite..."

Meer's proposed horseback riding tournament was on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, Lunatia.

The Kuromizuki provincial jurisdiction's Kureyaba is usually just a wide, unassuming square... but now it has completely changed its appearance.

It was overflowing with unusual enthusiasm.

As soon as I entered, the two armies split up on the left and right sides.

To the west is a private regiment of the Red Moon family that is rumored to surpass the regular Imperial army. He waved the flag of the giant red moon and raised his temperament.

To the east, the Imperial Guard is dedicated to protecting Princess Meir. Waving a giant purple flag, he raised his voice in defeat.

"Hmm... that flag..."

"I wonder if it's the flag of the Princess's dedicated Guards..."

Ludwig, standing beside him, said with a gentle smile.

“I've been offered a flag that will make me feel loyal to you.”

"I see..."

On the surface of the purple flag, there was a fancy embroidery of Meer with wings like a fairy sitting on the crescent moon... Meer didn't look well, so I didn't particularly say anything about it.

"Master Meir, please take that seat."

So Ludwig pointed to the back of the venue. Both factions were seated evenly.

"Oh, is that...... I wonder?"

“Yes, with the help of the Red Moon family, we have created an impromptu seating area. We use it to see the whole battlefield from a height.”

It was an impromptu cup made of wood.

Is it about the second floor of the castle? The upper part was like a balcony, where seats were lined up.

"Already, Lord Red Moon is here." Your Majesty is due to arrive soon. ”

"Hmm, well then, let's climb up first..."

Meir was accompanied by Abel, Prince of the Kingdom of Lemno, and Shtrina, daughter of the starred Duke.

As expected, Bell, who can't reveal her background, is supposed to take care of the children with Anne in the lower seat.

As I climbed the stairs, Lord Red Moon, Mansana, and Levi were waiting for me.

"Lord Red Moon, greetings. Thank you for your cooperation in my project.”

Lifting his skirt, Meer smiled like a princess.

That's right... if you're motivated, even meer can look like a princess. I didn't make a fool of myself!

... no, but I need you to wait. If you think about it carefully, since Meer is a princess from the beginning, it may be strange that you can't get a princess face unless you're motivated... No, but that's something you shouldn't think deeply about.

Meer now has a hard-working, princess-like face, and has succeeded in doing so. That's the only thing that matters, so don't think about it.

Meir facing the princess, Lord Red Moon smiled moodily.

“No, thank you for inviting me to such a fun place. Princess Meer. I'm ashamed to say that this heat is full of my own blood. Hahaha

"Apparently, it was a relief for me that you were enjoying it..."

Unexpected events suddenly strike.

"Excuse me, Miss Meir."

The sudden turn came in the form of Meer's cousin.
