The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

Ariez, back on the floating island, I just summoned Sfera for an emergency meeting.

Is SS Intelligence grasping at the ambassador's magic absorber?

He poked at the material recovered from the Eyrian Institute, identified the name of the device, and washed it out of previous collection records.

As a result, it was found that the device was installed in three locations at present, in a facility in the name of a magic absorption plant.

"These facilities were built in the name of a facility that sucked up the magic flowing underground."

Sfera raised her gaze from the dossier and reported.

"It seemed like a kind of compulsory camp because so many slaves and criminals were driven out to that labor..."

"The reality is that we were converting humans into magic."

I'll put my arms together. Nature and nose get rough too.

"From the handling of imperial tabular material, it is likely that only a limited number of human beings, even empires, know that they are sacrificing human beings"

"I guess. If it had been published, SS Intelligence would have grabbed it sooner because of people's rumors."

"Yes, there are currently five magic absorption plants in the Empire Nation, two of which are equipped with magic absorption devices from example humans."

Are you saying that some establishments purely suck up magic from the earth?

"One place is out of the country. And the Great Empire is building multiple similar magic absorption plants in the occupied territories. Half of them are planning to install magic absorption plants for human materials."

"Is that really all?

I point it out.

"If, even where there seems to be no device, there is a plant where large numbers of locals are requisitioned, criminals, slaves are gathered, there could be a device there as well. I want you SS operatives to know with their eyes that SS intelligence is going through an ungrasped route."

"Understood, Lord"

Sfera bowed her head.

"I will continue to report that, so far, construction is nearing completion in Cookapente, Provia, Calimatoria and Trace in the former Union, as well as in Shaeville and Chamarilla in Western countries, and also in Novelsión"

You're obviously trying to material a human being from a conquered country... Emperor Diggrattle, what an outside road. I'm angry just because it's abominable unbancer technology.

I once talked to Mad about this unbancer device that makes humans magical. It was the realization that neither me nor Mad should exist, but the guy in the world who shouldn't give it to me is in my hands.

"In the meantime, the plant with this device will be destroyed. Quickly, surely."

I saw Sfera, and Diamante.

"Shadow Fleet, attack with Phantom Anger. SS Intelligence will be in a hurry to locate the absorber."

King Emmann is calling me - I got a message from Diamante. My name is Ariez. I'm moving the portal from Floating Island to Willidis Mansion. From there I tried to go to the White Ya mansion where the king was, and the king was in my mansion.

Until now, it seemed like he was having an indefinite chat with our maid, Kroja.... When I saw him relaxing at the dining table, he looked more like an uncle or father of a relative than a king of a nation. I'll call you "Father-in-law" because it's not an official place.

"Oh, here you are, Jin"

Pinch the kitchen counter mini cake and lead me to the table. You're not really king. I'm totally familiar with it.

"Thank you for your hard work first. If you ask me, is this another battlefield?

"Yeah, I've been crushing one of the institutes because I was thinking that the Empire wasn't even Roku again"

When I took the seat across the street from King Emmann, Kroja brought me some tea. Thanks.

"Let me hear that story again later. So, it's not a good story."

I don't want to hear it if possible, but I can't ignore when the king tells a bad story, mostly because the safety of the kingdom is a serious matter involved.

"It's the Kingdom of Riviers. News has come that the king's capital has fallen."

"... are you an imperialist"

Well, I thought it was only a matter of time. The other country across the Yale River to the west of the Kingdom of Veriraldo, that is the Kingdom of Riviere.

The imperial tolerants - the imperialists and King Passé and the other independents - were in conflict and in a state of civil war.

"With the support of the Great Empire, the imperialists kicked the Royalists. The king is fleeing the king's capital, heading east - that is, towards the western part of our country."

"I still remember my alliance with this one."

"No formal alliance yet. There's an opinion in my country that Riviere should be abandoned, and it's a hassle to unify his will."

King Eman puts his hand on his chin.

"You haven't put it together yet?

"No, for abandoning Passé, no matter how long we keep going, we can't avoid collisions in the West. It will be only a matter of time before the Kingdom of Riviere, which has become an imperialist, strikes at our country, as it did at Novelcion in the east. Therefore, it became unanimous in terms of forming an alliance. Or let it."

It is a king. Around that time, they put it together with a chitin.

"Let it not be long before King Passé and the other kingdoms," he said.

"Uhm. But the king capital of the kingdom of Rivier has fallen. If the Imperial faction takes the king, I must say that we have lost this action too late."

King Eman wrinkled between his eyebrows.

"Around the Yale River, adjacent to our country, the Kingdom of Riviere has a lot of fighting power as well. I know these are kingdoms. If this and Passé can rendezvous, we can buy as much time as a jetty..."

"... but if this one moves the army before the alliance, it will also clash with its kingdoms."

"Yes, as difficult as reaching out… impossible situation"

Sigh King Eman.

"The Kingdom of Rivier also fell to the enemy. The problem is the defence of our country, but we have ordered the lords of the western realm to prepare them for the invasion of the enemy. If the Imperial Army came to the northern Plains of Zygen, I wouldn't forgive you."

"It may be too soon to abandon the Kingdoms yet"

I said what I thought.

"For example, if with our hands we could rescue King Passé and have him formally enter into an alliance... how about that?

Isn't the Royalist Riviere army around the Yale still available?

"If you can."

King Eman's eyes lit up.

"The army won't be able to move. But is it possible? To rescue Passé?

"As a messenger, I was wondering if it would be possible to enter the Kingdom of Riviere and then have our intelligence support"

That's what I said, and I thought, well, you did it. Advice, King Eman nods.

"Can I take care of it, Gin? Perhaps there's no one else who can."

"Understood."

Well, the Great Imperial War is also under my jurisdiction. Even for this one, Riviere's kingdoms can be described as a spare pawn to throw away. I have to take responsibility as a speaker.
