"Sage Grecas. I have one wish for you."

Her Royal Highness Princess Snuvel, the First Empress of Metanostadt, said so, turning her blue and beautiful eyes to me.

What you see in the crystal ball is the fightin 'princess wearing silver armor.

"Tell me... if I can, what can I do?"

Answer as Fu is.

This is a false feeling, but on the contrary, it means "you can't do what you can't".

What we are currently using is a secret line, and what we are asked from others is not relayed to the whole world.

I'm listening to Faria on Ergonote and Luroni on Lentomia.

And all those who pledged their cooperation to the princess, such as Barricellius, the head of the Magic Corps, to Sir Apras A. Jill.

Set aside for a beat, Princess Snoovel continues.

"I would like to entrust you, Grecas the Wise, with the investigation (...) of that world tree"

"Are you investigating…"

Sure, that world tree is like I created by borrowing the magic of Hemperoza.

If so, how can you say no?

The air of surprise and confusion spread even to the faces I was hearing on this side on purpose......

The scene of flying through the Wang Capital without destroying the Superdragon on the Holy Sword Battleship "Silver (Platinum) in the Ethereal Dome (Fatimart)" is broadcast live to the entire world. The firing took place as people from all over the world watched. The faces that were on the Holy Sword are also already known.

Lentomia the Wizard, Lu the Swordsman, to Ergonote the Brave, the famous "Hero of Dicamaran". Besides, there are no strangers in Metanostadt, Sir Apras A. Jill or Barikelius.

"Chief of Staff, Operation Filagallia, give me a status report."

'- Ha!'

To the voice of Princess Snoovel, the Chief of Staff, standing by the cold-blooded elite, hands the paper.

"We currently have information that the Kingdom of Galliahan, the Kingdom of Richtalia, the Empire of Itzbullah, the State of the Holy City of Rufuel, the State of the Holy Ovallahan, the State of the Free Trade of Kratur and the City of Leron of the Alliance of the Stralian States have begun consideration of sending a fact-finding mission to the World Tree"

"- Consider dispatching a survey mission to the World Tree...!

I met Ergonote face-to-face with Faria, and Sir Apras-a-Jill, and Magic Corps Commander Barricellius.

The countries of the Strasse will never forget, the ones who have said from above with their gaze, "Let me be your son-in-law" at the Apology Festival in Rudens.

The countries of the countries of the Strasse are proud of their long history and they are the rightful heirs to the glory of mankind and the wisdom of the former Millennium Empire (Southern Pedia) …! I don't think so. If it's an extension of that thought logic, it's still there.

'It is a clear violation of sovereignty over my country. The countries of the countries of the Stralia are classified as third countries which also did not express their participation in this crusade against Drasilia'

"The World Tree is not in my Metanostadt realm... you will not be allowed to imitate."

"They think of our country as one of the emerging countries."

Sir Apras-a-Jill responded to the words of Barikelius.

The words of the old wizards told the whole story.

Even more powerful magic technology, super ancient wisdom and other huge "treasures" have been created, and you want to stretch your forefingers.

If we do that, we're going to war.

What was pale and read out by the Chief of Operations Staff was enough to point to water in a winning mood.

Some countries in the world have already begun to think about the next (...) of the Super Dragon Wars and try to maximize their national interests.

"The fact that you've relayed to the whole world is behind you."

Chief of Operations Philagalia turns his stabbing gaze at me. Instead of blaming me, it contains signs that I enjoy how I answer.

The bone of this operation was to defeat the imperfect juvenile body (...) by making the superdragon drasilia, which feeds on anxiety and fear, a "food attack", as Philagalia also knows.

You can think of the operation as generally working.

But - at the same time, it exposed Metanostadt's magic technology and publicly declared that a super ancient over-technology existed: the Holy Sword Battleship.

If you have something with supermagic technology, it would be a natural move for a nation to get even one fragment.

"Sage Grecas. As you heard, the world is already starting to see the next move. Our country must know, grasp and keep under control that world tree that seals the Holy Sword. We need your help, Grecas the Wise."

"I'm the only one who's overloaded."

Princess Snoovel looked around quietly...

Lentomia on the surrounding ergonote, lu on the faria. To the old wizards, Alberina is arm-wrapped in a frightened manner. Everyone's eyes say silently, "Of course you do," right?

- Oh, boy.

I had a feeling this would happen from the start... but I had no choice.

If the world wasn't peaceful, my peaceful routine wouldn't come either.

I have no intention of sparing any cooperation for that. But we still need the help of our people.

I'll show you the wisdom of the wise (...).

"And - I just wanted to say, I was the one who created that world tree. Even so, there were improprieties in the operation. There was no other way to avoid the worst that could happen when a Holy Sword Battleship exploded and blew up every continent."

A little bit of an excuse, but not a lie. I'll be honest here.

"Grecas the Wise, I don't want to blame you."

The princess said she seemed a little sorry.

"Hmm. I need you to work for the losses in my country."

The princess quietly controls the filagalia to which she can add a word.

"I don't even know what's going on with that tree. So I know you want to investigate as the princess has told you."

'So you'll take it on, won't you?

"Yes, but I'd also like to ask you a favor"

"Whatever you say."

Princess Snoovel and I are behaving and showing, but the inner mind shouldn't be calm.

It is also possible that other countries will come around this world tree and tell them to send a fact-finding mission. It is possible to thrust on the grounds of sovereignty if it is within the territory. Nevertheless, it is important to know the characteristics of the world tree and how holy swords and holy sword battleships are sealed for the future.

"The load is too heavy alone, I said. Forgive me for accompanying my people. Of course... and the brave Ergonote."

"Grecas......!

I still had a glimmer of anxiety along with the desire to feel a little exploratory with Ergonote, who hadn't been out in a while. In other words, I still don't fully understand the relationship between the Holy Sword, which is an ancient relic, and the Ergonote's treasure sword.

"Hey, town! Let me go, too!? I really want to find out! Holy Sword."

Alberina rings Ki in the back.

'... okay. I'll take care of the candidates.'

"Thank you"

'It is preferable to investigate sooner. I'd like to say today... but that's harsh on boulders, too. Three days from now, how about an investigation?

Quietly thank Chief of Operations Staff Philagalia for the unexpected attention.

"Now, in the meantime, I want you to promote it. This will also be a defense for Metanostadt."

"How do you communicate the world tree to the world?

"Exactly. I would ask you to proclaim the world tree a 'seal to protect the holy sword that sealed the evil dragon', created by the magic of the wise. I mean, I want you to tell and promote to the world that hurting or destroying a world tree is a risk of evil dragons storming out again."

"I see. We don't actually have Superdragon Drasilia, but it doesn't create a crisis, does it?

Sir Apras-a-Jill strokes his white beard.

"You know. Now countries will also refrain from unscrupulous provocative behaviour. That would make no difference in the name of the investigation that we look inside the world tree."

'But it was said to be that inside, but are you going to go ahead and drill even a hole?

Filagalia hits the best question.

"In that regard, there seems to be enough space inside the world tree for humans to pass through. It could be forming a huge labyrinth. Countless pieces of metal are also involved and growing, so you may find valuable artifacts if you look."

"Ooh......! That's amazing, Grecas, just exploring!

"Sounds like a treasure hunt!

Ergonote and Lentomia react well.

"The adventure of the labyrinth, is that it? I see. That's funny."

"So, there you are!

Faria and Lu agree. I trusted you to say that.

"The World Tree of Sage Grecas! It is Dickamaran's hero who grasps and investigates the presence of the Holy Sword. If you do, you won't be able to talk to another country."

The princess is satisfied with the listing reaction.

"Grecas, it's nice to check out the world tree... isn't that like a labyrinth in there, but isn't there a chili just for you?

Alberina makes a particular point. Of course I'm thinking there too. Or I just thought about it.

"I will impose a powerful sealing magic on the world tree, so that I will not be allowed in unless I obtain permission. Therefore, at the foot of the world tree under the auspices of King Methanostat's government, we ask you to create a management guild."

"... World Tree Management Guild...?

"Yes. Only people in the country shall be able to register for the guild. Accept as an Explorer after some training and confidentiality agreements. And you will be able to explore efficiently by sharing your internal exploration and investigation over treasure hunting. Of course, you can be a soldier in the army..."

'I see, indeed... it's efficient'

"And here's the suggestion. I believe that the world tree, which has completed all its investigations, can also be opened to the general public and foreign tourists, with the exception of some areas where the Holy Sword exists, to earn tourist income (...)"

Are you saying that this is a place to win foreign currency?

The princess is surprised at the next suggestion in the investigation.

"Of course, after the investigation is done enough. 'There may still be a piece of treasure inside,' and you'll have a lot of customers. Complementing the cost of war by collecting admission fees... I don't think that's a bad idea?

It was an impromptu proposal that I just thought about, but it didn't seem bad to me.

"Inside, you are allowed to use both magic and swords. I mean... run a controlled, planned labyrinth (dungeon)."

Once upon a time, there was no such thing as a controlled labyrinth in this world.

It's also interesting to try to make the birth of the world's first amusement labyrinth.

"Ooh......!

"Unless you offend the Holy Sword, there will be nothing so beautiful, magnificent and divine. A world tree no one has ever seen...... Tourist attractions are invaluable to the world. A lot of people want to climb. Ho ho, it's really peaceful."

"Thank you, Sir Apras-A-Jill"

Sir Apras-a-Jill switched the world tree and looked up. The words that showed understanding were huge. Both the princess and the chief of staff seem to have begun to think that it is worth considering.

"Then you should start doing business around there!

"Right! The weapons store, the inn, the cafeteria, whatever."

"Old age is business in the world tree!

The older (...) team is already thrilled.

'It's a very interesting idea, it's worth considering. I'd like to go up there sometime, too.'

Princess Snoovel also grinned as if she were a girl.

"Ha. Thank you for your words"

Lift up your glasses for a hoot laugh.

"The World Tree of Sage Grecas......! And the operation and maintenance of order by the Labyrinth Management Guild. My country will give you a full backup. '

"Yes!"

A word of the princess decided everything.

Thus, the world tree sealed with the Holy Sword Battleship 'Silver (Platinum) in the Ethereal Dome (Fatimart)' may be accepted by tourists from all countries after an investigation by a survey team.

In that way, it is likely to be a valuable place to acquire foreign currency (...) at the same time as a symbol of world peace.

- Yeah, it's a good idea while I'm at it. I'm sure it'll work.

"Sage, this world tree has always been on the news."

"Looks like it's fun to climb a tree."

"Ha, right"

Hemperoza tangled in her right arm, and sighs at Plum holding her left arm and not letting her go, while watching news footage on the street corner.

Crystal sphere communications news, now constantly shown on the corner of Metanostadt, now appears to be a valuable entertainment and source of information for the city's people.

Now that the terrible superdragon drasilia threat had left, the whole topic was gathered in the "World Tree of the Wise Grecas".

"The World Tree of the Wise Grecas" and "Relics of the Magical Civilization of Tai Ancient" are the first to be investigated by the Heroes! The letter "" jumps.

Thanks to this, there seems to be a trend towards attacking the labyrinth of the world tree on an equal footing, without countries making strange moves in the attention of the world.

I'm going to be busy with a lot of prep for a while, too, but I'm going to be watching and working with you.

"Thanks to the magic of Hemperoza. Thanks."

To my whispering voice, Hemperoza narrowed her eyes like black crystals and pressed her face against her arms.

"Come on! More, more praise."

"Hey, how many times..."

"You've worked enough twice or three times. - What? Here, let's praise you."

"Ugh..."

Push your body together and wield your arms.

The warm and soft feeling is not going to let me go for a while.

"Pram too - praise me for now -!

"Ah, come on, you guys. You won't be able to walk!?

Whatever - -.

There seems to be no doubt that peace and a smile have returned to the world once again.
