'You know that there are five main countries on this continent.
　The Barbarian Zone, Northern North Country.
　Divine Waiting Land, Eastern East Ground.
　Magic Kingdom, Western Westland.
　Mechanical City, Southern South City.
　And the biggest country we live in, the
　Comprehensive Nation, Central Center World

　Sasha, Nanashin-san, me, Leia, and Chloe were sitting at the round table we used at the Ten Goukai, with one empty seat in a clockwise direction.

　The soldiers Sasha had brought with her were at a distance and surrounded the round table to protect it.

　What would they exchange their takumi points for?
　Sasha said that explanation would be a bit long, so we had to move on.

　I listened with excitement, wondering what the story would be about: ......
　What? A continent?

''Today, the Central Center World is governed and centered by our Kingdom of Lucia. The four neighboring countries to the east, west, north, south and west, have been at peace for the past hundred years or so, with no major conflict.

　That's right. People haven't fought each other on this continent for a long time.

Why do you think that is? Takumi.

　Sasha speaks to me, just as she did ten years ago.

'Yeah, oh,'

　It was so natural, and the sight of it, more beautiful than it had been ten years ago, was upsetting.

'Oh. That was it. Since the Lucia Kingdom has such a powerful force, the rest of the country is in a state where they can't sell their fights.''
Yeah, that's right.

　Sasha smiles at me.
　The same smile that she used to give me when I was an adventurer, when she always restored me, throws me off balance and makes me look away.

"Leia, you're driving me crazy. I'm afraid I'm going to turn into a dragon.
'It's an oddity, Black Lizard. I'm getting kind of annoyed and want to let God down, too.

　Chloe and Leia are saying something horrible, but I'll pretend I can't hear them.

'The Lucia Kingdom had a guild association headquarters, to which the great sage Nuruhachi belonged. In addition, legendary (Legendary) class beings such as the Demon King, Goblin King, Ancient Dragon (Ancient Dragon) and other legendary (Legendary) class beings stayed there, and even Alice, the most powerful of humanity, rose to the occasion as a toddler. There was no longer any country that could touch the Lucia Kingdom, or so we thought.

　When I heard Sasha's explanation, I realized once again that we have a ridiculous collection of people.
　Even if Alice alone could beat the whole of humanity, it's a lineup that looks like it could be up to about the five strongest in the world.

''But in the past few months, that situation has changed.
Don't tell me that some country has come to fight with the Kingdom of Lucia?

　Although the Lucia Kingdom was powerful, it had never invaded another country. That's why there hasn't been a single war in over a hundred years.
　Are you saying that there is a country that is reckless in trying to destroy that?

'Not in any country. It's all of them. Right now, all four nations, east, west, north, south, south and west, except for the Kingdom of Lucia, are trying to invade this country.
Suffer all the countries?

　Is this an unwinnable battle being fought by all nations?

Takumi-dono. I, Nanashin, would like to take this opportunity to explain.

　Turning to Sasha, Nanashin-san begins to speak.

'The whole thing started a little over a month ago, due to Takumi-sama's saga at the big war party.

　A saga?
　No, no, no. I was just standing there in that tournament.

"The rumor that you are the number one Guild Leader in the universe, Takumi, had spread throughout the world. But that was just a rumor that had no truth to it.

　In reality, it was just the Guild Association's secretary Linden-san (the Demon King) swapping Alice's success with me.

''However, it was big news all over the continent that I instantly killed the Guild President in this Grand Martial Association and showed strength that couldn't be contained by the Demon King, the Great Sage, or even the most powerful Alice of humanity.

　Something's wrong. Something is wrong. It seems as if that big war party was only held for the purpose of being misunderstood by me.
　It's not just Linden-san (the Demon King). Alice, Nuruhachi, and even the other contestants were probably included in the plan.

''And it has been spread that Takumi-sama is a member of the guild, but she's just holed up in a cave and has no interest in the guild or the country.

　I know. I just want to cook and live in peace and quiet.

Therefore, the nations are thinking this now. If they can get their hands on Takumi, they will be able to rule the kingdom of Lucia, or even the world.

　Yes, here we go again, this development.
　Huh? Am I going to be king after the Demon King?
　The misconceptions about me have never stopped.

"Not only in the Central Center World, but also in the other four countries, they are desperate to collect Takumi Points. There are countries that have already converted their Takumi Points into money.

　Eh! I'm a cash cow?

If we don't do something about it, Takumi-sama will be lost to some other country. Therefore, we, the most populous Kingdom of Lucia, have been the first to collect Takumi Points.

　Nanashin bows to me.
　The explanation ended and the speaker turned to Sasha again.

You see? I don't have a choice anymore. You are the Kingdom of Lucia's ...... No.

　For the first time, Sasha, who had been talking as openly as she used to, turns serious.

'Be mine, Takumi.

　The Princess of the Cliffs (Siacrifflily), Saria Shana Lucia.
　The princess, who has rejected the wooing of many men, has proposed to me.
