On that day, the "Two World Congress" was held.
　The host country of the "Two Worlds Conference", what Brunhild does is basically to provide a venue and request cooperation in preparing for mutant species.
　Also, if there is a problem between other countries, if it seems like we can solve it by ourselves, we will help with that. That was the position of Brunhild.
　It's been like that since the Western Alliance, but it's more of a party than a meeting. Every time we did this kind of flirtation every time, it became a fixture.
　Here and there in the hall, chatting and exchanging ideas between nations on a standing level.
　This time, we've invited representatives of the countries of the underworld, so there's no shortage of people to talk to.
　Incidentally, the countries invited from the other side are

　The Kingdom of Primula.
　The Triharan Divine Empire.
　The Kingdom of Strain.
　The Holy Kingdom of Arendt.
　The Galdio Empire.
　The Raze Kingdom of Arms.
　The Kingdom of Panachez.

　These are the seven kingdoms.
　I also approached the Demon King of the Demon Kingdom of Helgaia, but he decided to go through with it this time. He finally just started dating Iglet, and he doesn't feel like going out to a place like this right away.
　He had met the kings of Primula, Triharan, Strain, and Panachez before, but this was the first time he'd met the kings of Arendt, Galdio, and Raze.
　The new young emperor from the Galdio Empire, Lancelet Rigg Galdio. He is the one who was given the white feather to be the next emperor after Prince Lucretion renounced his succession to the throne in the clash with Isengard.
　I greeted him earlier, and he was a nice young man who seemed serious. Even though Yumina, who is following me, confirmed it with her demon eyes, he seems to have a truly upright heart.
　Being a young king of my generation, I'm currently chatting with Cloud, the Knight King of Restia and the King of Linier, who is currently chatting with the Knight King of Restia. I hope we can get along well.
　Next is Galaud Zeth Arendt, the Holy King of the Holy Kingdom of Arendt.
　Sixty was a great man who, despite his near age, showed no signs of his decline. His stern face and white beard. He's a good match for my old man in the stable.
　I was expecting a thin-faced, graceful man because of the name 'Holy King'. Well, there's a big guy over here too, a big muscular man, but he's the king of the magic kingdom, which is unbalanced.
　It is said that the Holy Kingdom of Arendt was founded by a brave man who united the surrounding tribes under the guidance of a spirit.
　Because of this, people have a deep belief in spirits, and they call them not "spirits" but "holy spirits".
　When I told him that I could use spirit magic, he seemed to think it was the same as summoning magic at first, and then he said, "You can't use the Holy Spirit! I started to get angry.
　However, when I explained that spirit magic is magic that asks the spirits to cooperate with her through mind exchange, she apologized honestly.
　There was just someone in the hall who could call the spirits, so I introduced the White Princess of Yisheng to her and asked her to call the snow spirit, the spirit she had contracted with (who was also her mother).
　I could have called the genie myself, but I thought it would be a good way for the kings to interact with each other, so I asked Princess White to do it, but it turned out to be a mistake.
　The Holy King, who saw the spirit in the flesh for the first time, got down on the spot and began to worship the snow spirit. Perhaps embarrassed, the snow spirit returned to the spirit world with a bright red face.
　When I promised to provide him with a beginner's grimoire of spirit magic in due time, this time he grabbed my hand and thanked me exaggeratedly. My hand hurts........
　Well, this guy is still a good one. The problem is.........

''I wish to have a hand-to-hand combat with Lord Mochizuki, Takeru.
No, so...

　The king of the Lase Armed Forces Kingdom approaches me with blazing eyes. It's the King of the Martial Kingdom, Gimlet Gal Lase.
　He is the father of Prince Zanberto, who came to our house the other day and beat him to a pulp. Of course, the dragonborn race a dragoon-newt.
　He's a beefy, muscular old man who looks like he's got the brains for a son. All sorts of scars can be seen and hidden from the bare neck and arms.
　Unfortunately, my uncle Takeru and his uncle Takeru were on a training mission with Ende and two of Else's apprentices. He would return in the evening, but if he could, he didn't want to see the sight of the king of a country being bludgeoned with a single shot.

''Didn't your son tell you what happened in the fight?''
'I can only say I was blown away in an instant, if you ask me. Since then, my son's arrogance disappeared and he became more serious about his work. I am truly grateful to you. Therefore, I want to have a fight with that benefactor.
No, that's not the way it works.

　Why is that. You just want to fight with all kinds of crappy arguments, you old man. The way you lead the story is too forced.
　You can find Morobane and Karina, but the result is the same.
　When I was at a loss as to what to do, a helper came out from a strange direction.

It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them.
Hmm?

　At the get-together after the meeting was over, it was His Majesty the Mismid Beast King who approached us saying that.

''You are the Missmid Kingdom's........''
Well, you know. I like to fight the best. I have a feeling we'll be able to do battle with you, don't you?

　No, no, no, no. We can't have two kings running around with each other. We'll be all buddies from now on.

"Do you know where we can find a place for this?
The Order's training grounds are in the back. What about there?
Okay. Okay, let's fight.

　The Beast King grinned and went to leave the room with the Beast King.

''Wait, are you serious?''
''Don't worry, Fuyao-dono. Even if you lose, you won't leave a grudge, and you won't die in this training ground, right?
'No, I certainly made it that way, but...'

　Our training ground is designed so that if you are injured in some accident that could be fatal, 【Mega Heel】, 【Recovery】, and 【Refresh】 will be activated immediately.
　The reason why I made it like this is because I was worried that Morobane sister would be reckless. I've been practicing on the occasional Restia Knight King and others. As expected, I'd be worried if I didn't take some kind of countermeasure.
　.........If you think about it, it's usually out of the question when Morobane sister is shielding the Restia Knight King....... Then it's not a problem for those two to fight?
　Hmm, as I twisted my head, Her Majesty the Queen of the Strain Kingdom tapped me on the shoulder.

''It's fine. The Warlord of Rase is a person who respects the opponent he is fighting and hates any imitation that would interfere with the politics of the country [festival].''

　That said, I'm still worried, so I asked Yae and Hilda to follow me. I asked them to force me to stop them if anything happened.
　Following the two of them, Rase and Mismid's guards slithered out with a sigh. When the head of the country is a brainiac, it's hard for his subordinates to have a hard time....... I'm sorry for your loss.

''Come to think of it, weren't there any refugees from Isengard or something in the Strain Kingdom?

　Yumina poses a question to Her Majesty Queen Strain, who has been chatting with her for a while. Oh, I've been wondering that too. It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends.

I've seen some of this flowing in here as well, though not as much as in Gardio. However, it's no mean feat to start from scratch in a strange land. Some fear that they will have trouble eating and become bandits or thieves of some sort.

　It's unfortunate, but I guess it's very possible.
　According to Bastet and Anubis' reports, there are all sorts of weird things going on in Isengard.
　I know they want to escape from the unrest, but crossing the sea and working as a bandit in another country is nothing more than a nuisance.
　The refugee problem is always going to be a headache, isn't it? Not so much now, but we don't know what's going to happen in the future.

'What on earth is going on in Isengard?
'We're looking into that now. I don't recommend crossing over to the other side unless you're very careful. I don't think there's anything to be too cautious about.
Does that mean Isengard is going to attack us?
I'm not sure if it's Isengard or not.

　I think there is definitely a dominant species in the dark that has become a mutant species. I'm aware of Yura, who seems to have guided the evil gods, and the Leto Lutto siblings mentioned in Ende's story, but there may be someone else. Maybe we should ask Ney, who is with Mel, the King of the Frays. I used to be one of them.

"You're on the other side of the world ... or is it already a continent? Do you hear any disturbing rumors on that continent?
''Disturbing rumors........ Yes, I've heard that the dispute between Zardonia, the Ice Nation, and Dauburn, the Fire Nation, is about to intensify.

　Zardonia and Dauburn?　Let's see, they're the countries north of the Holy Kingdom of Arendt, right? I heard that they don't get along well with each other.





'Those countries are like dogs and monkeys......... If you say Zardonia is right, Dauburn is left, and if you hear that Dauburn has introduced armed golems, they compete with each other in a losing effort to introduce armed golems, or something else. They've been fighting each other since the founding of the country, as is tradition.

　Dogs and monkeys, huh? There have been countries like that on Earth, though.

Zardania is a country covered in snow, and Dauburn is in the desert. There's a saying that the reason for this is the other country.
'Lore?　You don't have a definite cause?
I don't know that much either. It's just that he stole something.
Steal it?　Which one?
Both.

　What's that? I asked him about it in detail, and he said that both countries call the other country a thief. I don't understand.
　The Holy King of Arendt, who is a neighboring country to the two countries, said he was more knowledgeable about the matter, so I decided to ask him about it.

'Oh, that story. 'Oh, that story,' he said, 'I heard that there are ancient texts that say that Zardonia incurred the wrath of the Ice Goddess and Dauburn was cursed by the Fire Demon God because of the things they stole from each other. We interpret it as 'the other nation took away our tribute to the god'...

　
　Hmmm.... First of all, that's not God. Maybe. Even the World God would have left these two worlds mostly alone.
　There's also the example of the Ramish nation. Is it the work of the spirits?

'What's on your mind?　Don't tell me you're trying to reconcile Zardonia and Dauburn?　No matter how much you're a [mediator], that's going to take a lot of work. Those two countries basically don't listen to us.

　The Holy King speaks to me who has fallen silent. I've heard that you are the one who stopped the war between Primula and Triharan, Galdio and Isengard.

''I heard that you were the one who stopped the war between Primula and Triharan, Galdio and Isengard?
No, it was more of a process, sort of.

　King Primula, who was at his side, heard the story and opened his mouth.

''I was surprised when Fuyu-dono suddenly kidnapped the Patriarch of Triharan. ........Could it be that you are planning to abduct the kings of Zardonia and Dauburn as well?
'No, no, no. Don't talk to me like I'm a kidnapper. Well, I think it would be better if we let the kings talk to each other where they are out of the way.
I don't know. We could get into a fistfight.

　Hmmm, that's a problem. I'm going to have to restrain him and make sure neither of us can move. ...it's getting more and more kidnapper-y.
　If it were a personal quarrel, I'd say go ahead and do what you want, but the people who will suffer from that are the people below you.

Are the people of the two countries hating each other and calling each other thieves?
'No, not as much as the nobles. Many of them will be happy when the dispute is over and they won't be drafted. At any rate, it seems that every other year or so they'll send me out as a soldier. It's not good for me. I hear that no one can live near the border, and the land is taken away at every war.

　I've heard that both sides can't stand the climate of the other country, so they eventually start to run away from each other, abandoning each other. What's that?

It's a good thing for Arendt, though, because it keeps them from turning on us.

　In other words, if one of the two countries marched towards the Holy Kingdom of Arendt, the other country would take advantage of the gap and attack their country.
　For the same reason, the Panachez Kingdom and the Gem Kingdom, which are close to the two countries, have never faced the brunt of the attack.
　When you think about it that way, I wonder if it's better for world peace to let the two countries continue to fight each other.
　But he quickly dismisses that idea when he sees King Linier and Boy King Paloof laughing at each other out of the corner of his eye.
　Riinier and Paloof have been skirmishing for years. This is partly due to Waldak, the vizier who used to run Linier, and Zabun, the false prince, but now they are building a good relationship.
　And Princess Lucienne, the princess of Paloof and sister of the boy king Paloof, is now engaged to the King of Linier, Cloud.
　It's a good thing that even countries that have had disputes in the past can get along with each other, as those two have proven.
　I'm sure it's because the two countries' top executives were swapped at the right time.
　Well, let's just keep a cool head for now. I don't want to intervene unnecessarily, and I've got my hands full with other things at the moment.
　While I was thinking about that, the phone in my pocket announces an incoming call. It's the guild master, Relisha-san.
　Oh, well, I've been asked to get permission to establish an adventurer's guild in the other country. I was going to cut it out at the party at the end of the meeting. Well, it's already looking like a party.
　I awkwardly pick up the phone.

'Yes, hello.'
This is Lesisha. We've detected signs of the mutant's emergence.
...and where is it?
"...it seems to be over the sea... It seems to be a sea, or perhaps an ocean floor, between Lefries, Regnier and Panachez... from where I've observed a distortion of space.

　From the sea...?　It's an unprecedented pattern of appearance. If this was a flay, it would attack humans, so it would be able to guide them to some extent and predict their movements. But the mutants are different.
　They are probably moving for a purpose. We don't know if it's the order of the dominant species or the evil gods' intentions. Since we don't know that, we'll just have to wait and see what the other side has in store for us.
　If it's the ocean, the only saving grace is that people won't be in immediate danger.

What's the estimated time and number of occurrences?
About 10,000. About 10,000, which is probably close to the number of people that were attacked in Euron. Estimated time of appearance is in about 30 hours.

　As good as it was then........ That's all mutants. This one is also different from those days, everyone has their own special machine, and even I have the Regingrave. There's also the mass-produced heavy knight 《Chevalier》 and the black knight 《Night Baron》, as well as the new overgear, though it's only two machines.
　And there are so many encouraging countries that are cooperating with us. What is there to be worried about?
　I explained the story of the appearance of the mutant species to the representatives of each country and asked them to prepare selected members from their respective knightly orders.
　We can't let mutants and evil gods do whatever they want. This is our world.
