"Hmmm. This is how it turns out: ......"

　The policy for organizing a group of small states was to bribe the members of the city-state governing councils, if any, and to make them swear an oath of allegiance if a particular power was in control.

　The loyalty crest for this purpose.

　I decided to use it in the Orient in order to check the behavior of the loyalty crest that appears in the magic circle that Benjamin used.

　But the result was unexpected.

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

　There were a good number of people whose loyalty crests did not appear.

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

　I must say that I had expected it to be a little more popular than I had expected.

　Maybe we need to change our plans.

　I will discuss this with Ai and explore the issue of the loyalty crest.

"It seems that many of those who belong to the Orient Army and the Barka Mercenaries are loyal to Master Alphonse, isn't it?

"Yes, that's right. Many of them who did not show loyalty to me said that they trusted Elvis and other generals when I talked to them. So, all in all, I would say that I have a lot of support from the soldiers and mercenaries."

　A magic circle created by manipulating magic power.

　When the magic circle is activated, magic power will flow into me if I am loyal to the other party.

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

　However, if the other party is not loyal to me, it will not happen.

　I can easily recognize the magic circle on my hand that has used the magic circle, because the same magic circle that appears on my hand does not appear on the back of his/her hand.

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

　In that case, it probably means that the effect of the magic circle has not appeared, but that it is waiting.

　If the person's allegiance is to me, the sigil will appear on the back of his hand at that moment, and magic power will be sent to me.

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

　In other words, the fact that my sigil does not appear on the other side of the hand means that someone else is higher in rank than I am.

"So, most of the people who are not in the military have expressed their support for Ai, right?"

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

　This time, the test is being conducted with a reasonably wide audience besides the military and mercenary groups.

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

　The test was conducted as a test for the use of the loyalty crest, and those who did not activate the crest.

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

　They were interviewed.

　Of course, I do not punish them for their lack of loyalty to me.

　If you had someone to whom you would give your loyalty, who would it be?

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

　Someone I trust or not.

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

　That's what I asked, and then I tallied the results.

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

　Before the survey, I thought it would be someone close to the person.

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

　Most of the mercenaries of the Barka mercenaries had my emblem appear, while some of the soldiers of the Orientals said that they trusted their superiors and whom they could trust.

　It is better to have someone near at hand whom you can consult at any time than a famous person far away.

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

　I thought that this might be the case.

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

　However, Ai was the one who came up as the name of the person whom some of the Orient soldiers and the people in the council trusted more than those close to them.

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

　Ai is the president of the Orient's parliament.

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

　Even those who were generally not so close to Ai said that they strongly believed in him.

"I don't think so. The situation in this country has been basically better since Ai became the chair. People who are involved in the military and men who love bravery may support Mr. Alphonse, but I think merchants and ordinary people are most happy to have Mr. Ai as the chairperson.

"Well, the Eye is very good. Maybe Kristina is right. Besides, thanks to the use of her alter ego, she is working all over the place, so her recognition may be the same as mine, or even higher.

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

"That's what I meant. Is that a loyalty crest?　Maybe Ai should try using it on people in Congress. That way, the Ai's emblem would float on the back of the Congressional staffer's hand.

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

"The Eye has a loyalty crest, you know."

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

　Maybe I have a better name than Ai when you consider the totality of the situation.

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

　But that means that I have fought against other countries as a military leader, and I am known to people of other countries because of my achievements.

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

　In the Orient, Ai is probably more popular than me.

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

　Because of his overwhelming political achievements, the country is stable and there is no need to worry about food, clothing and shelter.

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

　You can see Ai anytime you go to the Congress.

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

　I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that Ai is a beautiful woman whom you can see a little closer to you than me, who is often in the capital of Orient, New Barka Street, or on the battlefields.

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

　Kristina suggested that Ai should try to use her loyalty crest.

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

　I understand the idea.

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

　In the current situation, there are probably a certain number of members who trust Ai, even if they do not belong to the Barka party.

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

　It would be worthwhile to bring them into the fold as well, one would think.

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

　But can Ai use the magic circle of the loyalty crest?

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

　No matter how good he is and how much people trust him, Ai is a special kind of person.

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

　I don't know if it will work.

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

"You could try. Like me, a high-level spirit created by Kyle Reed had a certain amount of ego and magical power. If that is the case, there is a possibility that I, as a virtual persona, will also have magical power transferred to me."

"Magic in the Eye?　I don't know what it is, but it sounds interesting. Well, let's give it a try."

　The loyalty crest is an improved version of the [naming] magic circle.

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

　And the [Naming] magic circle was originally used in the Church of the Holy Light.

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

　In the church, priests deployed magic circle, and nobles sometimes named the knights under their command.

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

　In other words, other than the person who deployed the magic circle, the magic circle could also be used.

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

　So, it may be possible to make a loyalty crest in the same way.

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

　I will create a magic circle of loyalty crests by manipulating magic power.

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

　And then Ai can use that magic circle to question the other party's loyalty.

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

　For the time being, let's try out the ones at Ai's work place, the Sleepless House.

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

　Since there are only abnormal people who forget to eat and sleep and work with Ai, they will definitely be loyal to Ai.

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

　If we can transfer the magic power to them, it will be a success.

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

　Thus, the operation of the loyalty crest by Ai was to be tested in the Orient.
