You've come too far!　Mizuho and Marion are there too!　You know what I'm talking about.　At least I know what would happen if they found out.

'Oh, well, sir. You need to calm down a bit.

　Right now, Yuto is preaching to Gaston in a single room where he was led by Aroucaune.
　After arriving at the mansion, Yuto was ushered into this room, which was about eight tatami mats in size, and asked the servant girls to place Yuto's only luggage, a sports bag, on the loading dock in the room, Yuto thanked them in a rather exaggerated way, just in case, and with a smile on his face, the servants left.
After confirming that the door was closed, Masato finally felt comfortable, he looked back to the center of the room and before he knew it, Gaston was sitting cross-legged on the bed, smiling.

'This isn't going to calm me down!　I don't know, Gaston was always, always dangerous!　You should feel a little better about this one.

'Sir, don't say that~. Well, then, just listen to me. I've got some great information~

Information?

Yes?

'Oh!　That's a dangerous bridge.　Already...

''Yuto's husband, this country of milliners might not be able to make it, right?

　In the middle of Yuto's story, Gaston changes his tone of voice and tells me with a serious face.

''What?　Gah, Gaston, what, all of a sudden, that's a big leap, isn't it? That's a bit of a risk of civil war, but that depends on what General Mathew says in his speech to the UN...

'No, sir. I'm not talking about that.

　Gaston's serious face causes Yuto to shut his mouth. Gaston has always taken care of Yuto's needs. So there are times when he even puts himself in danger, so Yuto has always been careful.
　However, this was the first time Gaston had ever given him information with such an imminent face.

''...Gaston, tell me. What in the world did you get the information for?

Yes. It's going to take me a while, if you don't mind.

Yes please.

Yes, I'll start with a story about two men who are trying to change Millimer for the better.

'It's ... of course, one of them is with General Mathew ...'

Yes, the other one is Prime Minister Guarin on the side of the military regime.

!

Yuto is surprised by the names of the unexpected people Gaston has given him.

'Mattoo-san and Guarán-san have cobbled together some of their past origins and affiliations. It's not something you can do very often in a developed country, but it's common in a backward country like Millimer, where things like warlords still exist. As expected, they didn't change it to where they were born, if they thought they'd find out.

Yuto frowns at Gaston's story.

''Well then, General Mattoo and Prime Minister Guaran...''

Yes, we've been best friends since we were children.

'Hey!　So, no way is this millennial state now!

Two of their best friends are in the highest echelons of their relative organizations. So, Yuto could see one possibility.

'As expected of your husband, you're very perceptive. That's right, there's a good chance that the two of them made it up.''

　Gaston smiles at Yuto.

''These two men have known each other since childhood and were both soldiers in the 5th Division that had jurisdiction over this Minra area. They knew each other since childhood, and they were both members of the 5th Division, which had jurisdiction over Minla. And as Mr. Guarin rose through the ranks, the name of Mr. Matou always came up as someone who would come into conflict with him, and if Mr. Guarin was disliked, Mr. Matou's popularity grew in proportion to that.

It's...

'I think it's perfectly safe to assume that the two of you are behind this, mister. I don't know how they came up with such a big idea. But there was a woman who was deeply involved with them. The way I see it, that woman may have had something to do with it.

Whatever form it takes, she is the one who influences the two heroes of Millamar. It sounds like a cliché, but how much weight has that woman in history meant to the heroes who have left their names in history to this day?

'Who is this woman?'

A woman by the name of Thornain, from here in Minra.

So... where are you now?

He's dead.

....

'There was a democracy movement in Millamar several times over a decade ago. Well, it seems that the root of it was criticism of the regime due to poverty, but then the army that came to put it down...

Yuto's expression is shadowed by his expression.

'The two of you belonged to the army that killed that woman.......or both General Mattoo and Prime Minister Guaran.

　Yuto listened to Gaston with a serious look on his face. Gaston paused for a beat and looked at Yuto.

''And in the process of getting this information, I noticed something strange~''

What's it like?

'No matter how you look at it, there is no indication that Mr. Mathew was ever married. On the contrary, Mr. Guarin, who is now said to be single, had a flicker of a woman in his youth. And, apparently, that woman also gave birth to a child.

Yuto tried to argue with that story, as expected, but he was caught up in Gaston's argument.

''That's ridiculous. General Mattoo said that General Mattoo has a daughter.......hmm?　No way!　Gaston, that woman who flirts with Prime Minister Guarin!

'Yes, Mr. Thornain. And the child born is a girl Mr. Guarin is ostensibly not supposed to have any children. So that means.....

Yuto's face was tinted with astonishment.

'General Mattoo is raising Prime Minister Guaran's daughter as his own!

　Gaston nodded widely.

'You have such a deep relationship with Mr. Mathew and Miss Guarin. And the woman who straddles them, Ms. Thornain. The girl, who is believed to be the daughter of Ms. Guaran and Ms. Thornain, is being raised by Mr. Mattow.... In light of this, I think the two of them are deliberately parting ways with the larger forces that divide this millimeter and are going for one purpose.

"We are trying to free this country from the tyranny of the military regime and make it a nation of the people...

Yuto speculates on their thoughts.

'No, not exactly, mister. As a matter of fact, Mattoo-san calls it democracy, but seems to see it as a means to an end.

What do you mean by...?

I don't think it's good to be a democratic country. The bottom line is that if we don't become wealthy, a change in the political system won't mean much to the people.

'Indeed that's true. And if the country itself remains poor, it might just give birth to a second or third Caliguda Marshal. (The same could be said for the country that was in the Demon World...)

'Yes. And I think Mr. Guarán and Mr. Mathew understand that too. And so it seems that the goal is to attract investment from developed countries in a big way by democratizing the country. In fact, the men sent by Mr. Mattoo seem to be telling each nation about it. When they replace the closed military government, they will open up the market.... Well, thanks to the fact that we flashed that to the major nations, we got something like a UN speech.

It's true that the US, Japan, and other developed countries will always refrain from investing in the country as long as the military regime is in control of the people under its oppressive rule. But if we promise democratization and show a clue to human rights issues, every country will have the luxury of investing in them.

'My husband is right. According to my research, Millenarians are poor and the infrastructure is underdeveloped, but they have a population of 60 million. If we invest in infrastructure, there's no reason why global companies won't take notice of that cheap labor. Also, more than 90% of the people in the country are Buddhist, and they are highly respected for their diligence.

Gaston, who is analyzing it so far, makes a face that Yuto can't hide his surprise.

'Gaston aren't you becoming something great?　 Well then, I'm pretty sure it was Marshal Khaliguda who hired the assassin. With this information, there's no way Prime Minister Guaran would do it.

'Yes. I'm sure Mr. Kaliguda is alone in his fear of Mr. Mathew - from what I've heard, he's a small-minded man, isn't he?　And mister, I'm growing up too, you know?　I'm not going to be indifferent forever~

For some reason, Yuto felt a little happy when he heard the words Gaston's growth.

''Haha, that's not a line from a guy with a thousand and five hundred years of achievements. Ah, Gaston. What about the daughter that Mattoo-san is raising?

Yes, my name is Nina, and I'm in the compound.

....

'And sir, there's one more thing. This is the real deal I was trying to tell your husband, isn't it?

How far will Gaston go at all...

Don't you have anything else to say?　I was going to preach to you earlier, d-na.

Yuto doesn't hide his bitter smile.

''Well thank you, Gaston. Thanks for doing all this research for me.''

　Gaston looks genuinely happy at those words of gratitude from Yuto.

''Hmph.''

But as a friend, if you think you're in danger, put yourself first, okay?　Absolutely, okay?

Yes, I know that, sir.

Already..... So what's the real deal?

The identity and purpose of this enemy's ability to hire Mr. Kaliguda.

!

Gaston presents another unexpected and important piece of information.

'Sir ... Mr. Kaliguda has brought a hell of a lot of stuff into the country.

What's that?

These people are capable of destroying this country if they're not careful.

What?　No way...no way...no way.

I know that Gaston's ability to gather information is high due to the ability he has, but the story sounds too outlandish for Yuto to hear.

''No, it's true. The name of their organization is the Sword of Surt. Their leader, a man named Lokiarum, is a survivor of a war between people with abilities that occurred a hundred years ago.''

'What?　What does that mean....I'm sorry, I don't know what Gaston meant...

I knew he didn't know about... well, of course he didn't.

Here, Yuto wanted to know all the information that Gaston knew. He felt that this was going to be relevant to how they would conduct themselves in the future.

'Gaston, tell me,'

Hmm?

Tell me about it.

What is it, huh?

"...don't you think I've lost my character?　Gaston. Oh, Mr. Gaston, I'm sorry, could you please tell me?

'If you say so much, I can't blame you! Well, it's just a way of getting back at my husband for always lecturing me.

Nuh-uh. So Gaston, what's that war between those abilities and what's that sword of Surt's?

''Well, I'll talk about it in order~. Well, it seems that the massive bickering between the abilities a hundred years ago.......it was too horrific a battle to be called, but this is also the reason why the Guild of Abilities, the forerunner of the World Abilities Agency that my husband has signed up for now, was established.

Gaston explained the information he obtained in a matter-of-fact manner.
Gaston's information made Masato's face gradually become tighter and tighter.



　While Yuto was holed up in his room with Gaston, Mizuho had just finished compiling the report and reporting it to Shima Kakitate, the secretary of the head of the Japanese branch of the World Ability Agency.

　She wasn't even tired due to the fact that she hadn't rested after arriving at Mattoo's mansion to compile the report. Right now, Marion is at Mattoo's place, participating in Mattoo's meeting, which includes investigating whether there are any enemy spies in Mattoo's place.

　Mizuho felt sorry for Marion, but decided to lie down on the bed and take a nap.

(Neesbek........Lokialm. What kind of people are these?　(I hope the agency's findings are available soon.)

　Mizuho let go of her consciousness as she thought about this battle again in her mind.
