Clear skies with not a cloud in sight. A clear blue sky spread over the city of Agartha. It was the height of summer, and there was even more heat outside the city.

The carpenters are the ones who are shouting in anger. A settlement is being built at a rapid pace near the capital of Agartha. Moreover, there are many three-story buildings there for some reason. These three-story buildings, so-called "heights," were built according to the Agartha King's suggestion that it would be appropriate for children playing downstairs to be able to hear him. The first village, which had already been completed, was being filled with evacuated beasts.

The one who laughs is the old man of the Dog-Beastman. This man started a business selling freshly baked bread from a food stall as soon as he evacuated to Agartha. The stall is becoming popular as a place where one can enjoy freshly baked delicious bread anytime.

Thanks to the king, we have managed to survive. We cannot thank the king enough. If you don't mind, I can deliver my bread to the guest house every day.

Then my father offers me a freshly made bun. And I bite into it without hesitation. It's delicious. Not only is it sweetened with sugar, but it also has the flavor of azuki beans. I was right. I knew that this old man would make anpan that would fit my glasses.

Suddenly I get a telepathic call.

"d*mn it, I can't go out for yakisoba!"

Muttering something like that, I move to my office in the guest house.

It is Bishop Kofresi who greets us in a loud, clear voice as usual.

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

"Oh, I don't need such a stiff greeting. Let me ask you what you want.

Perhaps because he was interrupted, Koffresi's usual soft smile turned a little taut.

"Regarding the letter I received earlier, His Holiness the Pope says there is no problem with holding a public question session in Aphrodite, the capital of our country.

As for the timing, he would like to hold the meeting on September 1st.

"It is indeed difficult to gather all researchers from all over the world. However, we would like to invite participants from neighboring countries as much as possible.

"I see. So, when are you going to extend the invitation?

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

After receiving the reply of the King of Agartha, I will return to Aphrodite to inform His Holiness the Pope, and then I will send an envoy to extend the invitation.

Koffresi connects his words with his usual soft smile.

"We have to do this quickly. The country of Agartha, which has been hosting the beastmen, may at any moment become infested with an incurable disease.

"What?"

No, I'm talking about us. Then I've agreed to hold the meeting on September 1st. Therefore, there will be no problem if I send a notice to the neighboring countries, right?

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

"... Yes. No problem.

"By the way, will the Pope himself make the invitation?"

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

"No way. We bishops prepare the documents in the name of His Holiness the Pope and issue them only after receiving his approval.

I have him bring a piece of paper and a pen and hand it to Koflesi.

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

"What is this?

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

"Yes, I want you to write an invitation that I will send to the Pope."

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

"What do you mean?"

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

So I want you to write the invitation that the Pope will extend. The Pope's signature ... that could be imitated, couldn't it?"

"What's wrong? Why are you silent? That's funny, isn't it? It's different, isn't it?"

What the hell did you mean by "no"?

"No, I had a dream the other night. I dreamed that Lady Klimiana was... again.

"Yes. He said to have the invitation written by the messenger who came.

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

That's ridiculous!

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

Think about it. How could I possibly think of such a thing? Even if I had thought of it, I wouldn't have asked you to copy the Pope's signature. You'd be making an enemy of the Crimianists. Even the most ignorant of me knows that. That's why I dare to say it. Do you understand?"

"Oh, by the way, Lady Klimiana said she would grant blessings to whoever writes it. Are you saying that you don't need the blessings of the Lord Klimiana?

Kofresi reluctantly begins to write something on a piece of paper. The result was an invitation in the name of the Pope. The content, place, and time of the questioning session are clearly indicated.

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

"...I don't know if I don't think it's a bit over the top, but I guess it's all right...", he says, as he starts to write the invitation letter. If Agartha sends out an invitation to a public debate with Klimiana, no one will believe it. That's the hard part of an emerging country. But there you go. She has given me such wisdom.

"...Then I will go and tell His Holiness the Pope of Agartha's reply."

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

"Yes, please do. Oh, yes. You must never tell anyone about your blessing. The moment you tell anyone, the blessing automatically disappears. No, I'm not saying that. That's what Lady Klimiana says. I envy you the blessings you will receive. Oh, and if she ever stands before me in my dreams again, I'll let you know.

Kofresi bowed and left the audience hall with a brisk movement.

"He didn't make any particular attempt to make me feel uncomfortable," he said.

When I returned to my office, Knogen opened his mouth.

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

"Yes. When I mentioned Lady Klimiana's name, he instantly became a quiet Shuntaro. I don't like those guys, by the way. By the way, Knogen, tell me something.

I spread a map on the desk.

"The capital of Crimiana is... here. Where can we go from here in a month's travel?

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

Knogen thinks with his hand on his chin.

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

"Well, I don't think we'll encounter any storms this time of year..." he said. Well, maybe around here..."

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

"Hmm, well, I guess we can go there."

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

"So what?"

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

"No, it's more like these countries are still under the control of the Crimean religion."

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

"Well, the surrounding countries are strongly influenced, but countries such as this Sandanj country worship the sun as a god and have their own religious culture."

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

"I see. Thank you very much for your help.

I then head for the village we have built outside the capital as a refuge for the beastmen. Basically, I put up a ward that is disinfected when I enter and leave the village, but I don't know how effective it is. However, I found the people of the capital cooking up food and warmly welcoming the beastmen there. When they saw me, they came to thank me. I raise my hand in response and head for the white building. There she is, May.

Together with Roni of Posehay, Mei examined every beastman who had taken refuge in Agartha. And so far, there has been no evidence of what might be considered an incurable disease. In the few weeks since this village was established, humans have come and gone, including myself, and no one has developed any illnesses at all. There are some people who are suffering from love sickness, but that is a different story.

May stops examining me when she sees me. I show her with my hand that she can stay there and let her continue her examination. At that moment, Roni comes in and takes over at the right moment. May and I went into the back room.

"How's it going?"

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

"I don't see anyone particularly ill today."

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

"I see. I just received a messenger from Klimiana. And she said the date of the open meeting is in a month and a half. So I agreed.

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

"Okay. I'll work with Mr. Roni to prepare.

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

"Don't put too much work into it. Alyria will be there.

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

"Hi... I'm fine."

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

In fact, in addition to examining the beastmen, May is also taking care of the sheep and beastmen who are sheltered in the capital. She is truly active in all aspects of her work, and when she returns to her residence, she takes care of Alyria and stays up late at night working on her research. I watch him and fear that he might collapse.

"In a little while, the people from Posehay will help you, too..."

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

"Yeah, have them do that. Don't be too hard on yourself."

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

With that I left the room, motioned with my hand for Roni to come with me, and left the building.

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

I went back to my office and copied the invitation written by Koflesi on several sheets of paper, carefully copying the Pope's signature and adding my own signature below it. After checking the result, I open the window and send a reminder to Sadakichi.

I sigh when I see that Sadakichi has disappeared.

"If we have to go back to Crimiana and get the Pope's approval to send an invitation, then really only the countries around Crimiana can come. They're not very nice people, are they? Let's see how well this plan works... Well, we'll just have to give it a shot.

With these words, I headed for the Imperial Palace.
