The elegant daily routine of sage Grecas - here we go with a lovely 'Sage Hall' life!

"- This is the case of the confirmed involvement of foreign forces (...) in the" World Tree "found at the moment."

When Special Assistant Scarley finishes explaining the entire report material, she turns the paperwork at hand to make sure there is no report leakage. And I look quietly around the conference room without changing my expression.

His Excellency the General (Gilkes), the Commander of the Magic Corps (Valikerius), the Chief of Operations Staff (Philagalia), and the Commander of the Knights, Sir Wilstein.

Gaze to check with the Special Assistant Monoreder sitting next to me and Director Liesehat (...) as well.

"It's GOOD, Scarley is a good explainer!

"Thank you"

Chief Liesehat is the one who's nicking next to me on the left. He came late after the meeting began. He is the greatest figure in the Ministry of the Interior's "Secretarial Service" and serves as the boss of Monoreder and Special Assistant Scarley.

Incidentally, there is a higher title than the director of the bureau called "Minister" for each ministry, such as the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Finance. But they are merely formal messengers who look to the king and ask him or her permission.

From what Monoreder tells me, the substantive top is to say the director.

"There is no risk of direct invasion at this time."

Royal Methanostat Army, Chief of Operations Philagalia sums it up with a cool face. Neither does General Gilkes, who binds the Royal Army, nor Sir Filagallia, the leader of the Magic Corps, make any particular difference.

"We can't seem to see any signs of a massive military operation. It's really boring."

"Each case seems to have a strong connotation of identifying this response rather than really trying to take control of the world tree."

To the words of General Gilkes, added Barricellius, head of the Magic Corps. The world-tree related case descriptions covered here were diverse.

"The Invasion of Marino Serese Local Religious Organizations against the World Tree"

"Terrorist Acts against Sage Men in the King's Capital by Some Forces (Religious Insiders) within the Sea Dragon Craftsmen Group (Seadun Makers)"

"Attempted Curse Against Protected Former Religious Group Officials (Later Discovered Involvement of Officials Within Metanostadt Government)"

"Continuing intrusion and theft against the world tree (repel with the help of the wise. Security is being strengthened from time to time) '

There was also a story about a mysterious figure suspected of being a leap, the Duke of Automateria Norard of the Kingdom of Richtalia.

In it, the existence of a mysterious secret society called 'Zortaxzaian' was also talked about.

"What do you think of Lord Grecas, the wise man?

Special Assistant Sculli, the MC facilitator, asks me for my opinion.

"Yes, I have no objection to the fact that there would be no large-scale invasion if we looked at the whole picture. But Sir Automateria, who is seen as the mastermind, is rather cautious and ingenious. We're still after something."

"What?

Chief of Operations Philagalia joins hands in front of his chest and waits for my opinion even if he seems interested.

"... I don't know that. Rather than targeting the world tree, it may be an artifact (...), information (...) that sleeps inside. Or... something else. There are verses that come to mind. Relics of Holy Sword battleships sleeping in world trees and memories of ancient humans sealed in crystals. As those who lead by the same magic guide, we don't know why we're after them."

I revealed myself in my honest chest. One possibility is still curiosity.

"It's a unique idea for Musina in the same hole."

……

Get on the surface. I'll tell you what I'll do.

Watch your mouth, Chief of Staff.

"disrespect"

"Aren't you worried about Lord Sage? I'm not sure what the purpose is."

Carry the tea into your mouth as if the magic captain diluted the air that has become an evil.

There is a convergence of views in saying that the countries of the Strasserie and the Duke of Automatériel do not seem to be thinking about unrealistic things such as State-scale aggression.

But there must be some hidden purpose.

- - Speaking of which, it seemed like he was looking for someone (...)...

"It's easy if you're a clear enemy...... Just so you know, we fund the golem development of Marinocerese, and we also work with various Metanostadt associates. It also seems like you're exploring the inside...... Even before I came here today, I ran into him on East Avenue and saw his face."

"I met him on East Avenue in grand daylight," he said!?

"Hahahaha, it's just a mastermind"

General Gilkes and Magic Corps leader Valikerius rock their big bodies and laugh.

"Uh, we know trends in national envoys, royalty, etc. Sir Automateria has stayed in Wang Capital for the past few days, but his application has been filed as a public service envoy. So far it seems to be meeting with the guild's trading officials and the King's Government's Treasury relations...... no particularly noticeable and suspicious moves. Besides, I have your son. Tourism?

"Son..."

Is that the kid in the carriage?

As I recall, the alleged massacre of the parents and clan of Hicariana, a semi-beast girl, in the forest of the border zone with Marino Serese, should have been in Automatériel.

Special Assistant Monoreder read the documents and closed them satisfactorily. Today's work is over, but only the Ministry of the Interior, an intelligence unit, seems to be grasping the trend.

"Lord Grecas, I do know that it is easier to explain a series of cases by setting (...) a mastermind. But we don't have any clear evidence to question the diplomatic envoys of other countries."

Filagalia lifts her eyebrows to a mountain mould in a mean way.

"Sage Grecas......"

"Sure, there's no proof"

Fairy Metius looks up at me worried. I manage to answer without breaking my posture or my gaze as best I can, and there's nothing more I can do.

and so the director, Liesehat, raises his short arm and makes a suggestion.

"So how about this? The bandits will be handled by the military, and the investigation and surveillance of mysterious figures will continue by our Ministry of the Interior. But the opponent may use a curse. For the safety of our staff, we would like your help. How about that?

The director who looks around at me and the great men in the army and goes into summarising his opinions. That would certainly be the only way.

"Of course I will cooperate. Whatever. You can go see him later."

Hmm, and Operation Chief of Staff Philagalia, who nodded small, raised his voice so that everyone could hear him.

"Then I'll leave the search for the mastermind to you. Our Royal Army must deal firmly with enemy forces that pose a clear threat. Strengthen the security of the World Tree against the Bandits. We will launch a long-range attack on the route of smuggling stolen goods present in the western border zone of Israel with a clear picture of Azit"

"What is Ranged Attack?

"We will carry out an air strike by an iron pile cannon - the Kamikami Hammer Cannon (Kamui Caliver) - clearly demonstrating the Kingdom's will to defend itself against power and sovereignty. How about this? My Lord General."

"Kamui Hammer Cannon (Kamui Caliver)!"

If it were to reach the border point with the western country, it would certainly be a threat to the western country.

"Sage Grecas. This operation is classified, so keep it a secret."

"I didn't know the effective range exceeded 500 kilomertes."

It's a military secret.

The desire to find out with search magic (Gogol) is much more enduring.

Metanostadt's iron pile cannon, with its improvements, was no longer starting to function as a "strategic weapon" that, thanks to its new warhead, could strike at low cost and effectively.

An iron spear poured down from a few hundred kilometers away, they won't be able to handle it.

"Fine, let's allow it. I want to go on an expedition and rampage you, but not hundreds of kilomertes away. My bones break."

"I didn't know I could shoot arrows farther than the magic of the eagles. It's not the time."

Bend your back like two old men each gave up.

"But that's it for our army to move. If you become a clear army of other countries and become a monster, we will deal with it immediately.... Are you sure you want to join the Knights Commander?

The Chief of Operations put the paperwork on the table with a ton of paperwork at the end of it. But Knights Chief Wilstein reacted differently.

"I offer my cooperation to Lord Sage."

"Sir Wilstein......!

"Well! I knew you knights were just lovely!

"It's an honor, Miss Metti"

A small thank you to the fairy opponent, and continue.

"Our knights are tasked with protecting the king and the castle. But more than that, we are also responsible for protecting the subordinate subjects, the beautiful king capital of this beloved kingdom. I can't just sit back and watch you wander around in our faces with disturbing people."

Until then, the Knights Commander, who remained silent, stood up, chested with a splendid knightly liturgical garment.

"... the Knights seem to have a lot of leisure time."

Chief of Operations Staff lifting the edge of his mouth with the kind of eyes he sees even in interesting things. But I don't care about any such provocation.

"My men were the world tree, and I received a great deal of help from Lord Grecas, the wise man. I owe you a knight's name if you don't give it back."

He says he will be grateful to Sir Rembrandt, the knight, for all the things that have happened in the world tree.

"I'm not borrowing that."

I just made a mushroom golem out of my hobby, it could be...

"Rembrandt is the one who rose himself from my squire. I would like to continue to be guided by the wise, because I am immature."

"I'm the young man, and... if it's for a friend, I'd love to"

I blush after I say what a friend is.

- - Is that it? Friends are fine...

Sir Wilstein smiled and nodded nicely when he heard it.

"Our Ministry of the Interior works day and night to protect His Majesty's beloved country, people and property. So Monoreder, Scarlett, I asked for it."

"" Yes ""

"... Regards! That's the way it always is."

Thus - I was officially, with a comforting collaborator, to be an inside detective (...) for the Duke of Automatériel.
