Chapter 569. A meeting with an uninvited guest (5) Eventually, when their voices stop once, Rumelsitasa resolutely recites.
“Everything is because of our long-cherished wish.”
confident.
and shameless
“A long-cherished dream?”
“Do you know who and what lies beyond the continent?”
“I don’t know, so I’m just trying to find out?”
“Only by sending it a couple of times.”
Hey, how’s our stomach doing? I’m afraid I’ll hit it with a magnification.
don’t remember that now
“We know it as a failure a thousand years ago. The distance between continents today is too great. Therefore, it is our long-cherished wish to be as close as possible.”
“… … Is that all?”
someone asks
Rumelsitasa nodded.
“yes. If we were harmed by that phenomenon, we thought of compensating for it.
But no one knew about it except that Prince Arell Ernesia noticed it here. Do you think there is no harm? How are you?”
“You don’t think it’s just such a problem?”
No matter what the intention is, you can’t do anything without prior consent.
Isn’t that the basis of social life?
When I questioned her, she raised her lips in awe.
“Don’t you think it’s difficult to get consent from everyone?”
“That’s far-fetched.”
“If you think about it that way, it makes no difference.”
She seems to admit it, but she doesn’t.
just dodge
Envoys from other countries know about it, but they can’t argue with it.
There is no damage either.
I’d rather be tripped over if something goes wrong with it, but that’s not it either.
And it’s heartbreaking.
If the distance between the continents narrows, exchanges will be possible without ships.
Currently, trade using ships is controlled by the Kingdom of Ernesia.
“Or are you in trouble if it is difficult to trade using ships?”
She has been picking up and attacking on purpose.
It’s like we’re anxious that we’ll lose money.
are playing
“If it’s difficult or not, isn’t it really worth it?”
I deliberately pretended not to care.
half sincere
If you don’t need it for trade, just use my ship as a cruise ship.
“If the world gets better, there’s no reason to regret it.”
“Are you sure?”
I shrugged.
“But it’s a problem because I don’t think the world will improve at all with this phenomenon.”
“Once, then. Actually, this is the problem.”
Now, let’s go to the second material.
Once again, the atmosphere in the entire conference hall freezes.
“While investigating, I predicted the fluctuations of the tectonic plates below the continents. It’s because I’m free these days.”
The second published data depicts the predicted results.
Continents come together and what form they will take.
“This fluctuation does not end simply with the continents fitting into place. It is moving in a much more complex and dangerous way.”
The flow beneath the ground we are stepping on is much more complex.
The ground is constantly changing as it coalesces, shears, falls off, and collapses.
It can never be called a normal flow.
Even so, the reason why the aftermath did not reach the continent is because a separate trick was played.
“If my predictions are correct, it looks like this will be completed?”
I took out a magic tool that projected the result into a picture and put it in the middle of the table.
As it was, the figures of each continent appeared on the table and slowly moving scenes appeared.
slowly. Move slowly.
Each continent eventually comes into contact and takes some form.
The result is this.
Continents are united on top of the mushroom-like soil.
“What? The continents themselves are rising upward. It’s soaring pretty high.
like… …
I glanced down at Rumelsitasa and laughed at it before continuing.
“It looks like you’re trying to make a cage from which escape is impossible, right?”
A world in quarantine where you don’t even dare to jump.
Like the maps people once imagined before proving that the stars were round, to put it in an analogy.
Why do we need this shape? huh? Why?
you have to explain this
“Forcing… …
“Do you think it is forced?”
just cut it off
At that moment, the corner of Rumelsitasa’s mouth twitched slightly.
It would be displeased rather than agitated.
“What do you want to say?”
“I am just asking for your intentions. If you simply want to close the distance between the continents, you just need to close the distance.”
This is nonsensical bullshit.
“The important thing is why it is completed in this form after that.”
“That is wonderful. If it rises like this, it will not be easy for anyone to escape the continent at this rate.”
I deliberately emphasized that point.
“It really sounds like a good thing to dominate.”
As if it shows the intention of ‘living here is free, but going out won’t be?’
Well, the reaction is a bit weak, so shall we ask more bluntly?
I deliberately tried to ask again with an evil smile.
“Are you trying to create a place where no one dares to go out?”
huh? huh? I’m really curious, so let me know?
“… … It is a misunderstanding.”
Rumelsitasa only calmly repeats the words.
I guess so.
How would you react if the guy who said that he was dreaming of harmony until yesterday was known to be doing this behind the scenes?
Now, envoys from other countries are also making noise.
It didn’t matter whether they colluded beforehand or not.
“Is the matter that Prince Arell Ernesia just said true?”
“It is a guess.”
However, Rumelsitasa denied it.
“It’s a home after all.”
“Then can we make a bet?”
I interrupted with a deliberate smirk to make me feel bad.
“Really, if the continents rise even a little, am I right or are you right?”
It doesn’t matter if you bet on it.
Although she wouldn’t be hooked on such a cheap provocation.
In the first place, in their original plan, by the time this incident occurred at the time, they would have thought to remove all suspicions and suppress them by force.
So I pointed out this problem beforehand.
it was told to everyone
They are not good allies.
Of course, even if they were in collusion, if they didn’t know this fact, they would have no choice but to be wary.
“If the suspicion is unreasonable, you can organize a joint investigation team with personnel from other countries and try to explain again.”
“… … Let’s not raise objections. We will explain later.”
Rumelsitasa agreed for the time being without saying anything.
Denying it only accelerates their suspicions.
It was already too late.
No conclusion can be drawn from arguing here.
I first suggested holding back because we needed time for each other.
“I hope you clear up the misunderstanding.”
Rumelsitasa also nodded and wanted to abolish today’s position.
?
“phew? It was a very useful meeting.”
At the end, it’s rewarding to get a glimpse of her feelings.
After all, a meeting is best when it ends with each other feeling bad.
Let’s think the same relaxed thoughts.
Kania noona tilted her head and opened her quiet mouth.
“Rather than that, Arell? Is that what you said at the meeting a while ago true?”
“Hmm? What about it? What do you think Asha?”
Perhaps, by now, envoys from other countries will have different opinions.
did i tell the truth
Or did you disapprove of them and blackmail them?
Either way, I guess.
“I think it’s real.”
Surprisingly, Asha seemed to agree.
“Arel-nim had discussed something with Dia before. Was it this?”
Oh well enough to notice.
You must have seen me discussing this with Dia a few times.
“and! Then, continents
really collide…
No, when I say that, it sounds like some kind of traffic accident will happen.
“Then shouldn’t we be pushing harder?”
“Okay, they won’t admit it.”
Even if they continue to question him tomorrow, there is no way he will tell the truth straight away.
“The reason I bring up that story is to arouse suspicion to the characters in other countries.”
to teach you about risk.
They may not be your allies.
If you turn your eyes to the gain and hold hands, you may be eaten again.
So be vigilant enough.
“Still, there may be some who choose to hold hands.”
I don’t even have the heart to laugh at them for being stupid.
Even if it is dangerous, lower your head, eat rice cakes, and drink water.
In any case, it is also their choice.
Then you should respect it.
The outcome will also be their responsibility.
one thing i want
We need people who will take the side of this side, even if it’s for sure.
Having said this, I don’t think everyone will be on their side.
We have to part ways to some extent and burden them as well.
This will lighten the burden while fighting the upcoming fight.
“By now, envoys from other countries should be talking to each other in moderation.”
At least it won’t have any effect – not a single envoy went to bed early in preparation for tomorrow’s meeting, as Arrel expected.
Some share policies with the home country using communication ports.
And some of them had a secret conversation among themselves as they had agreed in advance.
The envoy from the kingdom of Damaniel nodded lightly when he heard a knock coming from outside.
“… … come in.”
“Excuse me.”
“Sorry for the late hour.”
The people who entered were envoys from the Zelnian Kingdom and the Principality of Elben.
After they heard a proposal from a person named Heriel a while ago. There was a time when other countries secretly agreed on their opinions before the summit.
And now, in this place, they have gathered to agree once again.
“About the daytime talk.”
The envoy from the Kingdom of Damaniel immediately got to the point.
The nights are not long, and it is not advisable to leave the lights on until late.
“I know. We are also confused.”
“I was prepared for them to say something absurd to some extent, but…
the remaining two also have troublesome looks on their faces.
“Are the problems Arrel Ernesia mentioned true?”
“At least he didn’t say anything.”
It was a little before this that they learned about those who bore the name Caduceus.
The man who revealed his name as Harial, whom he contacted first.
It was the place where I first started with his twist.
He clearly said so.
“He just said he would keep Ernesia Kingdom in check if we cooperated with them.”
“Yes, I did.”
If it was originally planned, they would have announced their intention to join hands with the Caduceus side.
However, Arel stumbled upon another problem.
“If it’s simply a group of monsters, then we can do that.”
“But moving the continent as you wish… … If you’re trying to complete something like that… …
“Aren’t they more dangerous?”
“Uhm??????
All three screamed in pain.
The offer made by Rumelsita is attractive.
But more than that, it felt dangerous.
It is true that he felt threatened by Ernesia Kingdom’s dominance.
However, isn’t it that the people he thought he was trying to attract become an unexpected threat?
If you get on the wrong line, it will be ruin this time.
“Is it like calling in monsters just to get rid of wild animals in the backyard?”
At the parable of the envoy of the Principality of Elben, the two simply silently agreed.
