The mediator of the human nation.
　Many call the Holy Land so.

　The Holy Land is the leading force behind the victory of the Man-Monitorial War and the prosperity of mankind, and it is the nation that has contributed the most to the peace that has lasted until the present day, holding back the rise of the Empire.

　The Holy Land mediated the chaotic period after the Man-Magic War in two hundred years, and never once since then has it allowed a single war to alter its territory. It banned wars between nations, united the country with the teachings of the Election, and established the rules of the international community.

　The fact that he was the only one to reject the teachings of the Electorate outright, and to hold back an empire that was dominating the continent, shows the immensity of the Holy Land's power.
　That's why many assume that the Holy Land's power is the Holy Knights, the most powerful army and the renowned Sacred Knights, but that's not what is truly astonishing.
　The real power of the Holy Land lies in its perfect control that spreads to the people at the end of the line.

　The appearance of the Demon Continent, the disappearance of the Holy City.
　Normally, that alone would be a serious loss from which they would not be able to recover for several years.
　However.

It's all right, everything is all right.

　And if the Pope uttered a single word, the people would be neither confused nor anxious.
　That was the strength of the Holy Land.

　The city where God dwells.
　Hence, the divine city.
　The present human God, who would never grow old, and who would rule the Holy Land for more than two thousand years as the Pope and God's representative.
　That existence is the reason why the Holy Land reigns as the leader of the world.

　The Sanctuary of Light, where inviolability is decreed.
　In the sanctuary, where only the Pope and the White Knight are forbidden to enter, a girl-like boy mutters to himself.

'At last~ I think I'm finally going to be able to fulfill my promise, Mr. Range.

　The voice dissolves into the light and fades away.

"Hey, did Blue say that Ludwald is missing?

　The investigation of the demon tribe that is rooted in the Seven Kingdoms.
　The reason for dumping the job to Ludwald was to investigate the kingdom and Estor, which had been in turmoil, and the demon race that would exist behind it.
　When Black announced his participation on his own accord, he agreed to it by having Blue lurking behind the scenes in order to improve the airflow of the seven kingdoms.

　While the two of them moved outwardly, Blue purged those who were under the breath of the demon race.
　From there, he hoped to get information about the demon tribe lurking in the shadows, but it was only the end of the line. Blue's hunting was able to check the movement of the demon race within the seven countries, but it also turned into a trivial matter at the earliest.
　Minaria, hiding and lurking in the assassination state, revealed itself openly and wielded its power.
　She probably has no intention of hiding and lurking anymore.

''Well, I guess it's just the right time - it's time for the seven countries to become a proper country.

　The seven nations would truly become a confederate nation of many races.
　The Pope spun words as if to welcome this trend.
　It was in a tone that suggested, somehow, that it didn't matter.
　Deeply, with his head in the air, the boy says

--

　The Demon Dragon Conflict.

　And the war between the kingdom and Estor, which is whispered to be mediated by the dragon.

　The name that came to the boy's mind when he returned to his point of origin.

'The hero of the trading city, Nacht--Nacht, hmmm, I don't think I've heard of Nacht before.......'

　The boy, who had been holding his head in his hands as if searching for a memory, suddenly let out a gasp.

'Ah!　Oh, right, Naru!　

　The piece that had come off snapped into place and the boy with a big smile on his face said.

'I see, so you're going to finish me off then, Naru--'
