This is a serious matter, that it is.

Yes, that's right. Alphonse Barca's behavior is appalling. He acts too selfishly, that he does.

You are right. The invasion of the Purge Town was also a big problem, that it was. Because some of the councilors made a deal with him and tolerated him, that he took advantage of it, that he did. He thinks he can do whatever he wants, that he can.

"We can't just leave it like this, that we can't. We cannot let it go, that we cannot let it go, especially since we cannot defend this action, that we cannot defend this action. What are you thinking, that you are going to invade the city of Glugaria? A country that has been attacked not once, but twice, will not leave us alone. They will come out in retaliation."

"It will be a war. It will be a great war.

"You've done us no favors, that you have. We must hold them accountable, that we must.

　A room in a building in the Orient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a large room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A room that could hold several people, all well-known people in this city-state.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Members of the Orient Council.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The people who speak in this room are the craftsmen and the authorities who have passed down their skills and magic from generation to generation in this city.

　Although they are elected to the council, they are from the most prestigious families.

　The one who is on the agenda of the council is Alphonse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alphonse Barca.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Although he is still a young boy, he founded a town called New Barca and runs an organization called the Barca Mercenaries.

　He is the one who sent me to this Congress, and he is the one who suddenly invaded the country of Bulgaria.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was surprised.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was a big storm that came to the Orient, and it caused a lot of damage here and there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And it was Alphonse who was the first to respond to it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Using the Church of Barca and its mutual aid societies, he provided rescue and assistance in cities and villages.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thanks to this, I think that the Orient was able to respond to various areas much faster than other areas.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But just when the rescue was about to be finished, I received a call from Mr. Alphonse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He said it was a good opportunity for me to go and get the soft magic tree of Grougalia.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was as if he was going to gather branches for firewood in the forests around there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the problem is that these are not just the words of a boy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He did exactly what he said he was going to do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In no time at all, he had organized his mercenaries, gathered boats from villages near the Gulu River, and headed down the river.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They then proceeded to raid a lumberyard in the middle of the Gulu River.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The lumberyard was in bad condition due to the storm when the Barka mercenaries arrived there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thanks to that, they easily won the battle and obtained the soft magic wood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had heard this news through Mr. Ai, and I immediately moved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I talked to Mr. Banagher, who was also working as a member of the council.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Although he is a young man in this council, he has a strong influence.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And he has a close relationship with the Barka mercenaries and Mr. Alphonse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am sure they will help us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this time, things are not going well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Many members of the council have been speaking out against Mr. Alphonse's actions, and we have not been able to stop them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now, Mr. Banerjee has not even been given a chance to speak, and he and I have only been able to watch what is going on in the assembly.

"He should be charged with a crime. We cannot allow him to act arbitrarily any longer. At this rate, they will invade us at will, and in the end, they will bring the Orient to the brink of destruction, that they must.

"I agree, that I do. He should be severely punished, that he should be."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... But is it safe, that it is?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What do you mean?　It is only right that the guilty should be punished for their crimes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I agree with you, that I do. But you forget, don't you?　Alphonse Barca has that Atmos warrior by his side, that he does."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Indeed. That's right. The Titan is quite powerful, that he is. There's a possibility that he will turn on the Titan when he tries to accuse him of a crime. But then, how about hiring the giant here, that we should?　They are mercenaries, that they are. Wouldn't they join us if we paid them enough money?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, it is not necessarily so, that it is not. Do you think that no one has ever done so before?　It is not only the Orient, that it is not. Since Ian the Warrior of Atmos appeared in our land, many countries and organizations have tried to hire him, that they have tried. But he did not take the initiative, that he did not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see what you mean. There are some very loyal giants. Normally Atmos's warriors would go where the money is good, that they would.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... means that if we make a headlong move, there is a possibility that Atmos' warriors will attack the Orient, doesn't it?　Then how about using that one, that we should use?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's it, isn't it? Hmm. No wonder. The boy may have his merits, but he's just rust, that he is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I agree with that opinion, that I do. Alphonse Barca must disappear, that he must. The rest of the mercenaries, the warriors of Atmos, and the city should be taken over by the Orient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mm. Yes, that's right. Then I'm sorry, but I'm going to ask you two to stay under house arrest, that I will. No, it will be over soon, that it will. You can wait and have a cup of tea at your leisure, that you can.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What does this mean?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we tried to judge Mr. Alphonse for his crime, we would be in conflict with Mr. Ian, the Titan of Atmos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is it possible that they were afraid of that and avoided it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But if so, what is that "thing" that you just mentioned?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Could it be an assassin who wanted to kill Mr. Alphonse?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　An assassin is released from the Orient aiming at Mr. Alphonse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To prevent them from telling us, I and Mr. Banagher may be put under house arrest to prevent us from moving for a while.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I looked next to him, I saw that his face had gone very pale.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He must be such a dangerous opponent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Please run away, Mr. Alphonse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I could only think of her face, which was still far away from me, and I could only think of her in my heart.
