After all, the reason why 'The Seventh Trial' and 'The Eightyth Trial' ended was probably because, in game terms, they had made a mistake in the 'order to attack'.
　He finished 'The Hundredth Trial' that was supposed to be waiting for him at the end first, and 'Aikawa Uzumi' was far above the recommended level of the event. And that changed my attitude towards the events of 'The One Who Steals the Truth of Blood' and 'The One Who Steals the Truth of Nothingness'.

　When told of this, Kounel made an obvious disgruntled face and nodded reluctantly.

''If you do what you want already, yeah... ...... Hmmm. Anyway, there's a bond or something like that that can only be understood between 'the one who steals the reason', right?　That was just a confirmation of my guess.
Thank you. ...... I owe Mr. Glenn a lot of thanks.

　If he'd wanted to, Kounell could have beaten us to it.
　Still, I'm grateful that he pulled back.

''However, I won't go along with that selfishness, you know. I'll make my way to 'Blood Land' with the power of the bloodsucking species, but ......, if I feel bad, I'll leave immediately!　I'll only do it as far as I can!
'Yeah, I know. Doing the best I can is the most important part of the plan for this one: ......

　The main purpose of accompanying Kounel is its race characteristics.
　In the same way that the Driad can control trees, the Bloodsuckers can control blood.
　It's not magic or a magic formula, but the power of 'innate differences' as a race.

　That, and simply, Kounel is well versed in all geographies of all times, thanks to her repeated travels as a hobby during her thousand years of self-defeating bourgeois life.
　She is the person who is suited to attack the 'Blood Land'.

''Then, after making contact with Glenn-san, we'll go straight to the final goal: ....... After that, in the battle against 'The One Who Steals Blood Reason' at the final goal, we will first take 'Helmina-san's heart' and then the magic 《Sis》 will persuade its soul. As for the content, as I told you before, I want you to tell him that the accumulation of the 'Blood Power' has changed the world, focusing on the 'Five Step Thousand Year Plan'. Kounel and Serdra, who were acquainted with Helmina-san, will assist the Sith with that.

　So I turned my attention to Sith, but she was still breathing in her sleep with her arms crossed and "cooing".
　So I nodded to each other only with Kounel and Serdra and proceeded to talk.

''In the meantime, I will completely suppress Fafner-kun who lost his heart - no, Fafner, the 'Spiritual Perfector' of the First Demonic Disorder Research Institute. I'm going to try to convince him of many things, but don't expect too much. The only person who can get rid of 'unresolved' is probably Helmina-san. ......

　As we already know, the young man named Fafner is only a proxy for the 'one who steals the reason for blood'.

　That's why there are no cracks in his heart and no unrequited love.
　If there is no "curse", he is much saner.
　And on top of that, Fafner is ah (...).

　That's why I'm in charge of him.
　That's why it's my responsibility.

''If things go according to plan, Helmina-san will be turned into a 'magic stone' by the dissolution of the 'unconsciousness'. Fafner will revert from being a substitute for 'The One Who Steals Blood's Reason' to being a mere 'demon man'. The area liberated from the "Blood Land" is occupied by the army commanded by Mr. Faydert and others. ...... Just in case the operation is about to fail, then we will not be forced to withdraw and start over again from the strategy meeting.

　When he had spoken that far, Seldra, who had been listening intently, nodded and added one more thing.

''Yeah, okay. However, if that happens, Snow and the others will be the next to go to the 'Blood Sea'. Having failed in our mission, we no longer have the right to stop them or say anything great.
...... then to the 'secondary strike force (...)' - Diamaria Snow Rainer and the others will take over.

　Then he turned to the knight of the guard, who had been listening to the conversation until the end.
　Ryner nodded back silently, as if to say, 'That's the only part I can't give up.

''Of course, we've prepared ourselves for that not to happen. Let's make sure we succeed in the first 'primary attack team'. I believe that we can do it with the help of everyone here.

　He concluded.
　Since we had already decided on the details, it was shorter than I had expected.

　A hush fell over the "Senate Chamber".
　The two men who were responsible for most of the functions of the 'Senate', Kounel and Serdra, fell silent, and no new opinions came out at all.

　I looked around at the faces around me and approached those who had never spoken up in this discussion.

'...... Well, what do you have to say, Mr. Diprakra?　Questions and suggestions.

　The apostle, who had crossed his hands in front of his stern face all along, slowly exhales and replies.

He said, "What I want is for you to collect the magical stones of all the 'reason-stealers'. Afterwards, I want you to discuss the future of the world with the former Lord. That's all. In other words, I have nothing to say to you until I've made contact with the former master.
If you're ......, don't you really want us to head to the 'deepest' right now?
'Hey, you're welcome. ......!　That's right!　If you know what you're doing, then leave now!　It's becoming more and more like the two of Tiara and Yotaki, Kanami!　You know and let them swim, etc. ...... You weren't that kind of girl in the past!　Duh! ......!

　He seemed to be trying to be calm, but when I got to his heart's content, he quickly collapsed.

'I'm sorry, I have priorities. Fafner has been seriously asking for my help for a thousand years now, so ....... Or rather, he's discussing that order now. If you have a complaint, please voice it as an opinion: ......

　We try to produce as light an air as possible to allow for frank discussions, so that these complaints don't build up.
　But Mr. Di Prakula laughs at the direction and care he takes.

'Hmmm, hmmm ......, fwiw ....... I will now concentrate only on blocking your escape route ....... I'm going to make sure that you become the "savior" of this world. When the reconstruction of the world is over, when Seldra and Fafner are finished, there is only one thing left to do, the former master, Master Noi.

　I commented with a sigh and closed my mouth.
　I nodded back at that and accepted that Diprakra-san was not interested in this plan.

''Well, then, I'll say that Diprakra-san is fully in favor of the plan.

　Deciding that on my own, I looked around in my seat even more.
　Seldora also saw that there was no longer going to be any disagreement, and with a loud sigh, he declared the end.

'I guess that concludes the discussion ....... Even though it's an important final confirmation, this discussion might not have been necessary. And if it's over, then we're now entering the vacation period before the 'Fafner Helmina Securing Plan'--

　The discussion is over.
　And we're going into the time we've been talking about for a while now.
　It's the vacation period I was talking about with Dea earlier.

　From now on, we'll each have three days of free time.
　It's almost like saving before the boss fight plus a full recovery at the inn.
　In other words, from a game point of view, it's a must. But that's what Serdra--.

"--Kanami. Is there really a time like this?　If it's magic power used in the recovery process, it can be recovered in one night. Even though we're talking about creating the best condition, three days is too much time, right?
We've told all the countries that belong to the North-South Alliance that we'll resolve 'Blood and Land' on a certain date. We're also making preparations for the other side.
'...... Ah. So you're not going to be bothered to fight for it if you suddenly lose the 'Blood Land'? That's for sure, right?

　Of course, I'm not saying that this leisurely break won't result in more casualties from "Blood Land".
　However, it's not realistic to say that no one will be sacrificed .......
　Remembering the Battle of Yangtaki will always bring smiles to the faces of the loved ones who were sacrificed.

　I'm going to give up and do everything I can now to make sure that it's still difficult.

And even if you recover your MP, your energy and stamina are a different story. It's important to keep your mind clear. I'm a professional in the 'Steal the Truth' fight, so trust and believe me.

　No lie, no.
　Serdra replies with a bit of distress, but looks convinced.

''Mu....... What's the so-called TP/SP?　No. Action points?　Sure, it's important.
Yeah, that's it. That's it. That's what you need to recover.

　While casually replying to Seldora, I - in my mind, secretly gutted.

　...... TP/SP!

　Now Seldora very naturally used the game term TP/SP in the sense of technical and stamina points. It was proof that my 'proselytizing' with all my skills in full force had been a success and Seldra was beginning to understand the culture of my world.

　When Seldra became interested in science fiction and wanted an otherworldly book - it was worth it to casually mix in a fantasy lantern and TRPG rulebook with science fiction elements (still Seldra is entertainment). (I'm not used to this, so there's no way I'm going to notice). I'll continue to make him a little less resistant to fantasy light novels, and let him play the recommended high street RPGs - no, don't be in a hurry yet.

　The important thing will be that Seldora naturally wants to do it himself.
　And be active, not passive. The boomerang-effect 'unconscious reaction' and 'mental adaptation' that occurs when things are forced upon you cannot be underestimated.
　Above all, there is also a sense of specialness and destiny that comes from discovering a treasure on your own.
　Therefore, from now on, as a result of my careful imprinting of Seldora, by chance you will see a fantasy game, by chance you will be addicted to it, and by chance you will share the same taste as I do - that's the key.

　If I want to create such a 'destiny', I'm going to make full use of my well-trained 'purple thread'.

　Serdra will definitely make me a fantasy lover like me.
　He's the first fantasy lover born into fantasy: ......!
　Honestly, in this world, I kind of miss talking about games and comics over here!　Sometimes the game-like jokes just don't get through: ......!

　-- and as I'm burning to 'attack Seldora', Feydert, sensing the air of dismissal, wipes the sweat off his forehead and suggests to me.

''...... Hmph, Kanami-sama. I suggest you take a look at the Confederacy while you're on vacation. If you increase the power of that black mask, you will experience it as a citizen. Walking around a city that has been enriched by the policies you've made and seeing the smiling faces of its citizens is ...... the best thing about being behind the scenes.
That's good, ....... Very nice. Maybe that will be the best reward of the last two months. I'm looking forward to it.
Yes, sir. I hope you'll join those ladies and enjoy the rewards of peace.

　In some way, I was stuck working long after the battle with Yotaki was over.
　The "Gentiles" had brought that much damage to this "other world".
　So this vacation period will be the first time I've had the task of biting down on peace - but the moment the word "reward" is mentioned, a loud voice rises from the round table.

''-- Reward!　Speaking of rewards, Mr. Chairman!　Do you remember it correctly!　With all the talk of a vacation now, wouldn't you think it would be a great time to pay me?　Hey!?
...... Yeah. I remember, just in case.

　It was Kounell's voice asking me to work overtime.
　It was a contract in which I asked her to protect the country of Viasia before I died, and she agreed, "This is a big debt of gratitude," to which I agreed.
　I was obligated to pay her the fee, as Kounel's employer.

　If I could, I would put it off a bit longer.
　But I kept saying, "Hey!　Hey! The deception wasn't going to work against the bouncing Kounell.

'This is an employment contract, contract!　You'll be fulfilled before it's forgotten!　Now, just in case, I could sense a vague scent of stamping out!　Today, right now!
"...... Yeah. I know, I know. Well, what you're asking is that you come shopping with me in the 'old world'?
'Let me check, sir, this is the portion that protected the Vyisian nation. It is only the first request. In other words, 'the portion that covered the battle against Yangtaki-san from the North-South Union' and 'the portion that is currently managing the North-South Union country' are two separate things!
Shit. ...... Yeah. I know that one, too. I'm still bothered by 'contracts' and 'deals'. You can call this a professional, too. Trust me on that one.
'Yay!　I think I heard some kind of tongue-lashing before I nodded, but yay!　I made a professional chairman who couldn't keep his word!　Did you see that!　Aye, honestly, that's awesome!　I mean, for the first time in a thousand years, I'm shopping with the chairman!　And in the 'original world' you've always wanted!　Historical for nothing!

　When you hear that distraction, you know that the holidays have begun in earnest.

　This is also an extension of the recovery plan ...... working overtime, so to speak, but it's half private.
　I'm going to be able to release the work mode I've been maintaining until today and relax my body.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for. At that moment, Diprakra-san, who remains seated, speaks to Feydert, who is close by, in a body of small talk.

'Oh, yes. I would like to organize a day of celebration of the whirlpool, Feidert," he said.　It's a day to be thankful for the miracle of the whirlpool wave. I'm sure that's not a bad idea.
'Hmmm. ....... Yes, due to my faith in Lord Tiara, I couldn't touch the calendar for a long time, but I suppose it's possible now. It is rather usual for the country to increase the number of holidays during a difficult transition period. I think the timing is also very good. Above all, I hope that Kanami-sama's status, which I am personally pushing for, will improve.
Hmm. It's nice to have you on the job, after all. You talk fast.
I just need the approval of the person who is currently staring at us there: ......

　Seeing me staring at them, Feydert slurred his words.

　In contrast, Di Prakula-san, with a cool face, said, "No matter what, no matter what," and tried to continue with the conversation.
　Obviously, rather than the 'plan to secure Fafner Helmina' that was mentioned earlier, the main topic was the 'plan to reorganize the new calendar' that was pretending to be small talk over here, and Diprakra-san was attending the discussion.

'Please talk about that kind of stuff where I'm not at ....... Or rather, please stop them in general.
But I'm sure you'll be able to tell where they're planning to go, just like Yotaki and Tiara. Just like Yotaki and Tiara. Then it doesn't matter where you talk to him.
That said, if you speak in front of me ....... If I don't stop you here, you're going to assume I'm a certifiable person, right?
Mm. I don't think so.
Mmmm: ...... and Mr. DiPlakula: ......

　Di Prakula-san suffered a major defeat a thousand years ago, but in the present day (now), he seems to be a bit desperate.

　It's probably because he realized that no matter how hard he worked on his mission to 'save the world', his plans would fall apart depending on the mood of substandard people like Yotaki Tiara.
　It's sad in many ways that I don't feel the cautiousness and carefulness I had before.

It's Kanami, ....... You know what I'm thinking about now, don't you, Kanami?
''You've always said that you won't use the 'thread' because it's dangerous. I swear to both Rustyala and Nosfi, [I don't look at Apostle Diprakra's private life at all]. ...... And even if you were to read their minds, the most dangerous thing you could do is to feel like you understand.

　It's true that "reading other people's thoughts" like Yotaki did is possible for me now.
　However, it's the same as the Dimension, and it's not something that can be easily used for other people.
　Above all, there are plenty of holes in it.

''There are people like the murderer Lagne Kaikwola, who can fool themselves. Reading the thoughts of those who don't know themselves, like the one who steals reason, will have the opposite effect. There are even people, like Kounel there, who use me with the assumption that I will be read.

　And then there's sending a child who doesn't know what's going on, or using brainwashing well, or misunderstanding himself...... or rather, Yotaki, who was convinced that he could read his brother's mind perfectly because I was always like that in the past, was defeated by Tiara.

''Huh. ....... That means that you are not caught off guard. There is no more room for error at all, right?
Yeah, .......

　I thought I had laid out my reasons for not reading other people's minds with [the world's reasoning], but Mr. Diprakra took it in the opposite sense.

　Personally, though, I think that because the Sith's spirit (mind) grew straight up, Diprakra-san has become weirdly sulky.
　Because of Yotaki/Tiara, he's completely sunk into a swamp of doubt and suspicion.

　That, and the lack of friendship between me and Diprakra-san a thousand years ago, makes me cry a bit.
　I think we used to be a bit closer, and our hearts used to be in sync with each other. ......
　Even if they were puppets of each other, they were pretty much on the same page .......

'...... haha. You can do what you want now, Mr. Diprakra. I don't know.
Yeah, I'll do what I want. I'll do as I please and make Uzuruha my master. Not the master you were, but you. I will die for you, I will die for you. ......

　Saying that, Diprakra-san and Feydert left the 'Senate Council Room' while continuing the consultation in an imposing manner.

　From the last line, I can tell that even though Di Prakra-san is now building a wall with me, he is more fanatical about me than anyone else.
　After that battle with Yotaki, he came to see me before anyone else, and he will continue to be 'Aikawa Uzumi's friend' no matter what. -- until the day of the 'promise' comes.

　After seeing the back of that overly earnest apostle, I ask the boy knight who is the guard of the room and who serves me.

'What about Ryner?　I don't have a job anymore, but ......
I'll check. Christ is off now, is he?　Will you be resting at home for the duration?
'No, I think he's out there for the most part. I've promised everyone. I'll do some shopping and go out and stuff.
I'll stick with you on ....... We don't want to set the rebuilt city on fire.

　Without hesitation, Ryner replied.

　I've been thinking for a while now, but there's a section of him that believes that a knight should serve both public and private. Although he's been hiding behind me lately, he's as much of a workaholic (workaholic) as I am. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to do exactly the same job as I do with an open face.

　But for once, it's better to take a break, Quuner replies for me.

I don't want to be a part of it. Reiner-chan yo.
...... Why?
Unlike you, Maria and others haven't seen the Chairman in a long time.　I'm sure you'd be pretty grumpy if you were in the mix there. ...... I don't want you to poke around too much because Maria and Dear are so mature these days, or maybe ....... I know you guys get along well, but if the city is going to go up in flames, it's more likely to be because of you ......

　Kounel, who had been strong against Seldora, pleaded poorly against Ryner.
　He understood the meaning of this and this time he nodded after a hesitation.

''That's right ....... It's not too much of a compliment ....... I'll be away from Christ at least for the holidays. For me, it's the first time in a long time that I've had a break. I'm going to visit my parents and see how my sister is doing.

　Ryner thought he was going to be reluctant, but he took a breath with a "Whew" and easily pulled back.

　Was it because he realized that Kounel and Maria would be working in the knight's place while he was away?
　Or is it because I really believe that interrupting men and women is not a compliment.
　Turns out it's the latter, but I'm not going to say anything about it.

　I was more concerned about my homecoming to the Helvirshain family.
　Come to think of it, not once have I been to Ryner's house yet.
　It's a house that has a connection not only with Ryner, but also with that late Mr. Hein and the Fafner I was about to meet.

　As Reiner's employer, it might be a good idea to visit the house to say hello.
　I'm likely to receive most of Reiner's time from now on. There's no one more worthy of my knighthood than him, so I want to wield power and fill in the outer moat as soon as possible.

"--Christ. Don't come to my house. Don't ever come to my house.

　However, Reiner's voice was very low and cold in response to the idea.
　I blurted out in a respectful tone as I looked away, having been read what he was thinking from his expression.

'Well, I haven't said a word about going to ...... yet.
'I got a chill - no, I got a 'bad feeling'. Don't ever come.
'No, it's really just a little hello, okay?　And yet?
But still, ....... You are too kind to look at your sister these days. You're too nice to me. ...... Don't ever come here.

　Ryner spoke up for a reason.
　The sister, who was once Snow's party leader and friend of Arti, the one who stole the reason for the fire, who was seriously injured when Tiara was 're-born' and recently became Dia's best friend, as well as the Winter's Other World (Wintry Dimension), and -- the girl I knew at the beginning of this era, but whom I had always avoided for a long time, Franlle Helvirshain.

　I know why I treat her so special.
　It's the way she speaks.
　Subconsciously, I've always sensed my childhood friend from the 'original world', Mizuse-Konagi, from the girl called Franlure.

　But after my battle with Yotaki, I got the truth about my childhood friend's death.
　I feel to myself that there is nothing wrong with it, but--

Is your attitude that different ......?
'Oh. It's so different, my sister gets it wrong: ....... No, I've always been wrong. Mistakes are compounded by misunderstandings, and concentrated misunderstandings cause major accidents. If you're still okay with that, you can come. But then you'll have to duel with me at the gate first.

　Ryner refused head-on.

　I'm not going to visit him without a fight.
　If anything, I trust his judgment.

Then I'll stop until Ryner is okay with it. I guess I just haven't figured it out on my own yet, and I haven't quite sorted out Yotaki and Lake Nagi. ......
It would help if you did. You and your sister need more time. Time to get some rest. ......

　With that, Ryner also began to leave the 'Senate Council Room'.

　Only to stop moving in the middle of it, and after a few moments of contemplation, he called out to the Apostle, who was still sitting in his seat, "It's over. Immediately the Sith said, "I'm not asleep! He stands up, shouting loudly, and scurries around to look at his surroundings to see the end of the discussion.
　Then, Ryner and Sis leave together, dodging the same petty arguments as when they came in.

　Ryner is really an excellent knight because he takes care of the Sith, who has a lot of gaps in his life.

　Thus, most of the attendees are gone and the room is quiet again.
　Before the original sacred air begins to drift in, Kounel opens up first.

''Ah, um, ......, Acting Deputy Commander-in-Chief Seldra?　Did you hear that?　Oh, I'm going to go shopping with the chairman of the board to the 'original world': ......
Yeah, I'm coming with you. I'm interested in the "original world" as well.

　Seldra responded immediately to that, and, unusually for Kounel, she let out an angry voice with a smile that had a blue streak on it.

''Huh?　d*mn lizards?　Don't they say you can't read the atmosphere?
I know you've heard of ....... But don't worry. Soon I'll be on my own. I'm used to walking alone, you know. --I'm used to walking alone.

　At the sudden activation of magic, Kounel braced himself.
　However, the effect was not an attack, but only a mutation of the surgeon's body.
　Gradually, Seldora's tail shrank, and all of his features as a dragon man (dragonet) disappeared. Furthermore, the color of his eyes and hair were dyed as if they were dripping with ink. The scars on his face have healed nicely, and he has become a "Japanese" who has "adapted" to the environment of the place he is heading to.
　I'm not going to be able to get it right.

'Yes, Seldra.'
Thank God.
I knew it. You look good. It's cool.

　As he received it, Serdra turned into a tall Japanese man, sleeving up his Japanese clothing with familiar movements.
　It would be inevitable that he would stand out because of his size, but the only thing that comes to mind when you see him is "martial artist" or "athlete".
　He wouldn't even be considered a foreigner, let alone an otherworldly person.

''--Nanah!

　The transformation took Kounell by surprise.
　What she focused on was not the first time she saw the mimicry ability of the ancient magic 《Fly Los Sophia》 - but the one that was handed to her by me now.

''Huh, clothes!　That's a dress!　What? Mr. Chairman, I'm not counting on it!　Otherworldly clothes!
'What?　Isn't there a Quennel outfit at ......?
'Heh, hah, hah, hah!　You give clothes to an obnoxious lizard man and then you don't have any for a girl!　That's really what it's all about, yeah, yeah!
No, not for nothing. I'm not lost. Ho, ho, ho, quuner.

　I responded in a hurry, surprised that Kounel was seriously angry, not 'acting'.
　Then I took off the mask I was wearing and placed it on her head.

''What?　...... It's amazing in a double sense. This is the magic stone from 'The One Who Stole the Dark Reason' Tida Lands, right?
'I have my own clothes, so I've been fooling around with them until Kounell can get some clothes from the other side. Tida also says that my friends are fine with it. --magic 《shift》

　With the application of dimensional magic, I instantly replaced the "Clothes of the Otherworld" and "Clothes of Darkness" from the time I wandered into the other world in my "possessions" in an instant.
　This is no longer 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Dimension' Kanami, but 'Aikawa Uzumi', born and raised in Japan.

''Thank you, Chairman. ...... Now I'm just like the usual Chairman--
''Yeah. Now Kounel will never be suspected as a 'gentile' or a 'vampire' when she walks the streets of the 'original world', and she will always be treated as a 'cute cosplay girl'. Oh, she's amazing, she's so cute.
'No, I won't blend in there as a civilian!　He's a magic stone from "The One Who Stole the Reason of Darkness", so I know that he can do that much!
'Did you know: ....... Sure, if you ask your mask to do something for you, it will respond well. But if your thoughts don't reach them, they won't respond, so be careful about that.
'Ha, ha, ha ......, I'm getting tired of tweaking ....... Lately the chairman is starting to resemble the demon king ...... no, he's also starting to resemble sister Titty, which is a bit troubling .......
Ha-ha-ha.

　Similar.
　I let my cheeks loosen up at the happy words.
　I felt motivated to play with Kounel more like Titty, but Serdra stopped me from doing so.

'Kanami, if you want to play, we can do it over there. Let's get moving.

　He rushed me with a look of obvious enjoyment of the 'original world'.

　Then, right next to me, Kounell said, "Nunnu ......!　It's not a vampire species, it's a general girl, a general girl ....... There's no such thing as magic, born and raised in Japan, heenshhhhhhhh, to Kounel-chan everywhere! and chanting magic while watching them do a reverse version of the magical girl transformation scene.

'Yeah, okay. Let's go. --Magic 《Replace Connection》

　It is the highest level of dimensional magic, magic inherited from Yotaki.
　It shifts (...) along with the consumption of magic power that is even more heinous than the less fuel-efficient magic such as 《Connection》 and 《Distance Mute》.

　The moment the space was filled with dimensional magic, a large magical 'break' was created - it was swallowed up in the blink of an eye, and the color of the vision was reversed.

　The three of us in the 'Senate Council Room' jumped to another room in another dimension.
　To a place that is 'another world' for Kounel and Serdra, and a place that I can call 'the original world' -
