The next day, the 7th, was a busy morning.
The disturbances in the Kingdom of Franz had reached here in the Kingdom of Cerroa.
As soon as breakfast was over, the representatives of the remaining countries held a meeting.

"There has been a revolution in Franz".
This would be the theme of the meeting.
"It is said that the situation is close to a bloodless revolution.

"Légion de Barkly has been deposed by the revolutionary forces and replaced on the throne by the Duke of Lotharus de Lafayette."
So far, so good. The Duke of Lafayette's reputation is so good that even other countries have heard about him, and everyone is optimistic that there will be no major problems with diplomatic relations in the future.
The problem is Oranje. The problem of Oranje is so big that the change of king does not seem to be a big deal to some people.

Information is exchanged among the representatives.

The Marquis of Theodelic almost raised his voice in question, but Prince Arthur stopped him.
"There is more to the story. ......<
As I read out the written explanation, the faces of those listening changed color.

"Such a relic is ......!"
"How can we attack ......!"

They seem to have become completely frightened.
To dispel the atmosphere, Prince Arthur raised his voice.
"Everyone, please calm down. No matter how strong a fortress or castle is, it always has its weak points. For example, the attack on the army. There is no way to prevent it.

"Oh ......"
"Yes, indeed."
Hearing this, everyone seemed to have regained some of their composure.

(If it were Horai Island, there would be a warp gate and we could be self-sufficient.
) Jin was thinking such things, but he did not say them out loud. He has that much sense.
In fact, how many people were in Fort Crowe was also an important point in the war against the enemy, but he had no information about that.

"Yes, I think I will return home as well."

When I told this to the new king, Cesar, first thing in the afternoon, he looked disappointed.
"I see. Well, I guess it can't be helped, given the circumstances. Thank you all for your cooperation so far.
Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Jin muttered as he cleaned up the guest room, which was slightly cluttered with his personal belongings.
"Well, it can't be helped."

"Yes."
"Actually, I was hoping to take the delegates to the Kunlun Island after this to start the world conference.

Indeed.
Just then, there is a knock at the door.
Reiko answers the door. The visitor is Marcia.

"Hello, Gin, Elsa. I'm sorry to bother you.
"Welcome."
Reiko prepared a cup of tea using the tea utensils provided.

It's been a long time since we've had a leisurely talk like this.
Jin's been busy with his career.
"I really wanted to be more relaxed and do whatever I wanted to do."

When Jin said this in a mumbled tone of voice, Marcia laughed.
"Haha, that's impossible. I understand how you feel. Unless he completely shuts himself away, there's no way people will leave him alone.
"Well, yeah."

But I can understand how you feel. I sometimes wish I could build boats the way I want to.
To live you have to earn money," Marcia concluded, "and that means you have to do things you don't want to do and meet people you don't want to meet.
"That's true, isn't it?"

"Yes, but Jin is a bit of an out-of-this-world guy."
"Where did you learn that word ......?"

After some small talk, Marcia got down to business.
"Actually, I'm going back to my country tomorrow morning. I wanted to talk to you guys first."
"Yeah, it was fun."

I'll see you soon."
However, both Jin and Marcia had their own lives, and they understood that it would not be possible to see each other anytime soon.
"Well, it's a little early, but good night, Jin."

"Yes, good night."
At 8:00 p.m., after Marcia left, Jin asked Erza.
"Should we go and say hello to the others?"

"......Yeah, maybe. It's not too late. Shall we go to ...... now?"
Erza agreed, so Jin and the others made the rounds to give a brief greeting to the representatives of each country.
