Meena, a master of magic, can easily use transfer magic as well.
　Thanks to this, Baru was able to move from the second class area to the imperial castle in an instant without being noticed by the neighbors.
　There is a large round table at which he moved, with nine fine looking black chairs.
　Six of them were already occupied.

'I was the last? You're all early.

　Val says, and one of the shadows replies.

'You're the only one who lives in a second class area and can't use transfer magic.

　The shadow is a man in his forties with silver hair and a silver beard.

''Still playing the common man, huh?''

　It was a short purple-haired man of about thirty years old who made a statement that was not mocking, but did not try to hide his curious attitude.

'Isn't it really a wonderful attitude to keep in touch with the people we are supposed to be protecting?'

　It was Meena who said it.
　Unlike the way she had treated Val, her voice was haughty and cold in tone.

'I agree with you,'

　I could hear her agreeing with her words from the doorway of the room.
　It was a man in his fifties with red hair, and he held the highest power in the land.

''This is the Emperor.''

　The six people seated in their seats stood up and bowed their heads grudgingly.
　Val also bowed as it was.
　Meena only gave a simple bow with a small nod, but there was no one to blame.

''Our empire's pride and joy, the Eight Divine Brilliance (Levatein), you have gathered well.

　The Emperor takes a seat at the end and speaks slowly.

'Today's topic is about the demons that have been active on the border lately.

Do you mean it's so bad that it comes out at ...... this gathering?

　A man in the forties with silver hair and a beard asked.
　The emperor shook his head slowly.

'No, I do not. But it is possible that this may be the case in the future.'

　Hearing this statement, Akira Yagami (Levatain) and the others, except for Meena, twitched their shoulders.

It's a good idea to avoid the folly of underestimating the situation and thus causing more damage. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. You understand, Claude?

So, all of a sudden, you're bringing in the maximum amount of force?

　The silver-haired man, Claude, was convinced.
　They were the biggest force in the empire, and one of the main reasons why the empire was considered the strongest nation on the continent.

''I hope it doesn't turn into a single rat with the Great Mountain Ringing.

　It was Meena who said something sarcastic.

'Of course, it's better for me. It's better for me to be able to laugh about it.

　Controlling Claude's anger at her with his hand, the Emperor replies calmly.

'We'd probably be able to spot the other guys missing it, too.

　The thirty-something man said.
　When the air in the room was almost inclined to agree, the emperor asked Baru.

'What do you think, Bartolomeus?

'I agree, Your Majesty. I think we should nip this disaster in the bud as soon as possible.

　The emperor is slightly relieved that he agrees.

'Vilhemina, too?'

Yeah.

　Meena answered shortly.
　Everyone here, including her, knew why the Emperor had asked Val first.

'But your majesty, do we all move together?　I don't think it's a good idea for Teito to be from.

　The emperor's face turned sullen as he asked, "What do you think?

"Yes, it's possible that the incidents were a diversion and that the real target was the unmanned imperial capital.

'Then I shall remain in the Imperial City?

　Val offered, and the Emperor was immediately relieved.

'Right. As long as Bartolomeus stays behind, we can let the others out in peace.'

Don't get comfortable, Bartolomeus.

　One of the Eight Divine Brilliance said in dismay, but Meena countered.

''With Bartolomeus-sama's help, we can devote seven other people to the investigation. I think it's a very excellent idea.''

Yeah.

　The emperor immediately agreed, so no disquiet was created.

''If possible, I would like to borrow a transfer magic user. Just in case.''

　Val's offer was met with a nod of affirmation.

He nodded in affirmation. I will have someone who will know your true face.

'Come on, you've got to learn at least one transferable magic, man. It's not that hard, is it?

　Someone let out a dumbfounded voice and glared at Meena.

'Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses,'

　The emperor said tiredly and held his ground.

'I need to decide who is going where.

　Furthermore, the Emperor says.

'How about over ......?'

　There was no opposition, so the decision is made.

'We want them to take home as much information as possible. I don't care how small it is.

We don't even know what we're up against.

　Claude showed his agreement, but the Emperor corrected him.

'You don't even know if you have an enemy or if it's just a natural phenomenon. I hope it is the latter.'

Our country is the strongest in the continent. There are plenty of people who would like to see us weaken.

　The purple-haired man spits out in a d*mn good way.

'Right. Manuel would be right.

　Claude agreed meekly, and the Emperor nodded.

'Keep that in mind,'

　With these words, the gathering was dismissed.
　Val asked Meena to take him home using transfer magic as usual.

''Look after the information, okay?

Yes, we'll try.

　Meena answered his question emphatically.
