The Branded Female Fencer

Magic General Council, Part 9 - Invoicing

"One thing before the invoice is opened, would you like it from me?

"Go ahead, Chairman."

MC Winston urges him to speak.

"Whatever the outcome of this election, there is an agenda that I would like to discuss with the people who are here now after the new chairman has been decided. I would like the meeting to be dissolved without until we reach a conclusion on this agenda. As current chairman, it will be my last favor. You can call it an order."

"It's unusual, the chairman says such a thing. I didn't think there was any interest in meetings or anything like that."

Hoomilne sarcastically, but I'm embarrassed by Winston to stop speaking without permission from the MC. Hoomilne kept her mouth shut, but Tetrastine just started explaining that it was the best.

"Especially what Hoomilne says. But things are different now. The world is crawling with demon kings created by black magicians, and suspicious plans are underway. Neither can we remain irrelevant to the boulder this time, when we set aside our sidelines to the secular currents.

Sure, I'm a selfish person, but as a one magician, I'm not guiding the end of this continent. Don't get me wrong about that. "

"Then give me a specific agenda. Whatever the outcome of this election, you are the chairman now. And it will continue to be a valuable resource for this magic church. Of course we'll consider it."

It was Marigold who spoke. We all nodded and looked at Tetrastine in her remarks. Tetrastine continues.

"First of all, it's an agenda regarding the Demon King. The production site, which should also be known as the enemy demon king's workshop, was found strange. Considers that discussions should be held on which opportunities will be set up in these places in the future; Naturally, we're talking about working with Arnelia and the mentors.

Next, about the collapse of the coven of witches. Unofficially, the surviving witches are asking the Magic Church for protection. What should we do with them?

And about the treatment of a female mercenary named Alphilis. He will also be important when it comes to counteracting the black magicians. However, in order to discuss this matter, it will be necessary to disclose information from Hoomilne. Hey, it's Hoomilne, right?

I looked at Hoomilne as Tetrastine stared, but Hoomilne did not change her expression and staggered her gaze with Tetrastine as she did.

Comparing the two together, the tension increases for a moment. But Winston controls it.

"You two, if it's going to be contested, we can do it later in the election. In the middle of the meeting, it's good to be fought in the debate. But if we start invoicing here, we won't be able to move on.

May the others? We will consult you after the invoice has been opened with regard to the current agenda. I'd like to open the bill first, how about that? "

"... you're right, I'm sorry."

Tetrastine retreats greatly and the tension is eased. And Winston looked over at the same expression and made sure no one had any more opinions. All of us are curious about Tetrastine's opinion, but we needed to do what Winston said. Because the next chairman knew that Tetrastine's remarks now would be null and void. Although not as authoritarian as Arnelia's, the president and his party's voice will also be considerably greater in the Magic Church.

And Winston moved on to the invoice. Stick your right arm in the box you put on the table where everyone sat and explore its contents. Thoroughly that the sleeve of the right arm is raised so that it cannot be finely crafted. Winston grabs the first vote and opens it. When the paper was opened, it made a burst.

"Number iii, vote for lord yarensen"

The clerk writes the results on the white board behind him. Yarensen's eyebrows were responding perfectly and definitely, although not in the nature of cheering everyone on this occasion.

The work continues pale. Each time, the whiteboard behind you will be marked with who won how many votes.

However, as the invoicing continued, the venue gradually began to envelop itself in an unpretentious atmosphere. And where there were only a few votes left, it turned into a definite twist, and when he opened his last vote, Yarensen stood up with his mouth open. Out of the open mouth was a screaming voice that also sounded like a lost wind in between.

"If so, stupid... what is this!?

"As you can see, we will announce the results of the invoice. Votes won, Lord Tetrastine 6, Lord Esmeralda 1, Lord Yarensen 4, Lord Marigold 3 and Lord Hoomilne 4. With the above results, we have decided to elect Chairman Tetrastine for the ninth term.

Ladies and gentlemen, as a magician belonging to the Magic Church, if you can swear to the new Chairman that you will continue to prosper and develop, please stand up and express your intention in silent prayer. "

It was Winston, who shouted in protest, but all the other delegates stood up and prayed silently for Tetrastine. That's the same for the other candidates. But only Yarensen continued to raise his voice of protest against Tetrastine.

"I don't know if there's such a stupid story - Tetrastine, what the hell kind of squids would do this kind of result? My winning vote should have been seven!

"Well, how do you know that? Man's world is deceitful and deceitful. No matter how much we exchange promises, even in such a blue year that we don't know that it can be broken.

Or did you do something with it?

"What, such a thing would never..."

Yarensen was stuck in words, but there was actually fine work. That's not paper, the pen everyone used to write. The pen, which at first sight appears to have a new item, was finished in Yarensen's breathtaking factory. In other words, everything had been planted before the seal was cut.

This is how Yarensen was planted. I took the time to imprint those who seemed to put in votes among those who had ever had negotiations. It saves time on words and imprints words little by little that make you want to side with Yarensen. I will also leave my insinuations in tune around me. I'm not always in my room when it comes to representatives of each faction. Give a little hint to the cleaner, etc., switch the schedule, or apply a magical effect. One by one is no big deal, but when you start touching it on a daily basis, it's designed to make you want to be on Yarensen's side.

And extreme was this pen. Implications made on the pen, coupled with the accumulation of allusions to date, are powerful enough to force Yarensen to write his number. If it's your intention, fine. If you're going to betray Yarensen, you're going to keep your hands out of it.

Even if you realize that your hand is moving by force by implication, you make it public that the magician's pride has been hung on the implication. It was Yarensen who wanted to get a majority if possible, but he stared that seven votes would suffice.

But the reality was different. My vote was less than I expected and Tetrastine won more votes. I am not convinced why this has turned out. In doing so, Tetrastine continued her words.
