"So?　After all, what does it mean that I'm going to be in the dark?"

I understand. I will tell you a story. We, the Thracian clans, will unleash our assassins against the senators of the Orient. And it will result in chaos throughout the land. Then you will be the one to take control of the situation. By capturing the assassin."

"......Well, what does that mean? Suddenly, several members of Congress are assassinated. And I'm supposed to catch the assassins and solve the problem?　But that doesn't mean we're going to catch Zion and the others, of course, does it?　If that were the case, Zion himself would not be talking about this kind of thing."

"That's right. My divination tells me that we will catch the culprits apart from the shadows.

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

　That would be possible.

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

　In fact, they sent an assassin after me.

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

　The story would go something like this.

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

　First, I was the first to be targeted.

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

　I attacked a lumberyard in Grougalia, and on my way back from there I was attacked by assassins.

　And a few days later, in the Orient, assassins were also active, and many people lost their lives.

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

　Then I, who was the first to be targeted but escaped the crisis, appeared on the scene.

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

　How about I, who was targeted by the assassins but survived, rush to the Orient, catch the murderer who is going around killing the councilors, and fix the situation?

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

　Of course, I won't catch the real culprit, the shadowy one, there.

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

　We don't need to do that, and we are cooperating now.

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

　Then, who should we make the culprit?

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

　It could be anyone, but I don't think it's a good idea to involve too many unrelated people, so who would be the most convenient?

"......Theon and his Thracian family... In fact, they do more intelligence gathering work than assassination work, don't they?"

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

"Yes, that's right. In fact, in most cases, that's the main job."

"Well, then, I'd like to get some information, if you know. You know those Somali people who have infiltrated the Orient, don't you?　I think there are people who are influencing the Orient in various ways, such as selling life-prolonging medicines and cosmetics to people suffering from incurable diseases.

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

"Okay. We are also in the same business, so we have some information. We will charge you for the information, but we will provide you with the number of members and their hideouts.

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

"Thank you. Then let's assume that they're behind the killing of the senator.

　When I thought about where I could find a good sacrifice, the Soma cult came to mind.

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

　They are influential in the small states with their life-prolonging medicine and so on.

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

　But their home country is quite far away.

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

　The people in the Orient are probably just a few of the people who are breathing down their necks.

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

　I don't know how much sense it would make to get rid of them.

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

　In fact, I might be hated even more by the Somaist countries, which are the major powers.

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

　Well, it doesn't matter.

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

　It seems that they already hate me because I've stopped selling an expensive and long-lasting product called life-prolonging medicine around here anyway.

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

　It seems that the sales of cosmetics made in the Soma countries have been declining recently, as people in other small countries around the Orient have started to realize the dangers of such cosmetics.

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

　So, it seems that the real culprits who are targeting the senator are members of the Soma Church.

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

　It is very easy to frame them as the culprits.

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

　After all, there is the head of the shadowy criminal and the leader of the mercenary group who is in charge of catching the culprit here.

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

　We can leave evidence at the crime scene that will lead us to the real culprit.

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

"I'm afraid that's not enough. Catching the assassin of the senator will not be enough to end the chaos."

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

　But there was someone who interrupted our discussion.

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

　It was Ai.

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

　Ai, who was standing next to me, speaks up.

"Is this a bad idea?　Well, it's only natural, since we're going after quite a few members of the Diet. In the meantime, I'm thinking of letting Laura and the others run the council after the number of council members is reduced."

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

"We think it is uncertain whether that will limit the chaos. We will need someone to forcefully contain the chaos, even if only temporarily."

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

"Forcefully resolve congressional gridlock, huh? That sounds difficult.

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

"No, I don't think that in itself would be too difficult. If there is an armed force with power, it is possible.

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

"By force of arms?　Does that mean that anyone who can use the Orient Army can forcibly suppress the chaos?"

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

That's right. And it is possible for Mr. Alphonse to do so."

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

"What, why?　I have my own private Barka mercenary company, but it has nothing to do with the Orient Army.　Isn't it impossible for the Barka Mercenaries alone to have enough people to control the chaos of a city-state?"

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

"It is possible. It will be possible, as the number of council members decreases. I recommend that you ask Laura and Banagher to appoint Mr. Alphonse to the position of Protector while you still can.

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

　Protector?

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

　What was that?

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

　I think there was such a position in the Orient, but not in the United Kingdom of Fontana, so I think it was an unfamiliar one.

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

　I remember that it was a position chosen by recommendation of the council, and one could become a member even if he/she did not have the qualification to be a member of the council.

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

　If that is the case, it may be legally possible for me to be a senator even though I am not even old enough to be one.

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

　In normal times, it would be impossible for me to be elected for the position, but if many members of the Diet are killed and I have a track record of catching the murderers, I can manage it, right?

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

　As a Protector, I would also have the authority to run part of the military, which I could use to forcefully clean up the mess.

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

　I feel lucky to have Ai by my side Laura.

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

　I don't know much about how this country works, but if Ai can do it, then the system should be fine.

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

　Then let's go with it.

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

　Once we're legally in power, we can do whatever we want.

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

　Thus, I arranged to send the shadows to the Orient, created the culprits, and made a plan to seize power afterwards, and decided to carry it out.
