Three days have passed since the meeting with Pope Altorius, and today is “Summer Moon 11th”. As usual, Yuri spends the morning in the office of the Lord’s Building. Today, instead of getting rid of her duties, she sits in a chair and has a hollow gaze.

Iguazu of “Kikyou”, which is today’s “love duty”, was just quietly looking at the expression of Yuri. She knows what Yuri is doing, so she’s not particularly worried. However, there aren’t many opportunities to see Yuri’s face up close. She thanked God for the unexpected good luck. However, the god Iguazu gives thanks to is also Yuri.

Eventually, about 20 minutes passed. Finally, the focus returns to Yuri’s eyes.

With both arms extended above the head, yuri stretched the hardened body. Meanwhile, Iguazu poured tea from a teapot kept warm and cozy into two cups and offered one to Yuri.

“Thank you, Iguazu”

“No. How was the state of the Kingdom Army, my sister?”

“At the latest, it looks like they are going to be dispatched in an hour.” Continue reading

After that, Yuri exchanged various stories with Pope Altorius.

Although the purpose of the visit was to send messengers, as long as she was able to meet with the landlord of the Holy Kingdom of Nimun, it has exactly the same meaning as bilateral talks. In terms of deepening friendship, trade will be activated in the future, so there were many stories that should be discussed with the partner country.

―――― However, first of all, you have to digest what you should do.

“Pope Altorius. Actually, Estoa has asked me to develop a [temperature control barrier] in the palace and the cathedral. What should I do?”

“Hmm … I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with the barrier, so can you explain it?”

“Of course”

Yuri exercises the skill of [Summoning subordinate NPCs], calls Hotaru, the captain of “Red Plum (Koumei)” who is good at barrier art, and explains what kind of effect the barrier has.

[Temperature control barrier] is a barrier that keeps the internal space at an arbitrary temperature. In the space protected by this barrier, a comfortable temperature is always maintained even in the desert.

“It’s okay to create a barrier not just for the palace and cathedral, but for the entire city.”

“… Are you sure? It’s difficult, as expected.” Continue reading

Yuri who arrived at the palace got off the carriage. Yuri, Caprice, the escort, and Estoa have cool faces. In contrast, Priest Leonard and Priest Roan seemed to be quite in the heat. There may be heat like a steaming basket in the carriage running under the scorching sun. It should still be easier to walk outside normally as the wind softens some of the heat.

“This ring is very comfortable, but getting used to it will make you weaker …”

With a slightly bitter smile on her face, Estoa leaked so much.

In fact, as she said, if you depend on a ring that has been given <heat and cold resistance>, it may be difficult to live in the desert if you lose the ring.

The ring that ruins people — may have a bad word.

While being guided by Estoa, Yuri enters the large stone palace. It is a palace with no decoration, but a sturdy construction. I think it’s very similar to the atmosphere of the cathedral in Nildea. The area inside the building with small ceiling paintings depicting the gods may be a scene like a national palace with a strong religion.

“The figure of Yuri will be drawn now.”

“I think it can’t be helped to draw such a little girl …” Continue reading

After chatting with Estoa for about an hour, Priest Leonard and Priest Roan, and the two paladins who were escorts, returned to the mansion.

“I didn’t think Yuri-sama was there, and I’m very sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time.”

“No need to apologize because I’m so bad that I came suddenly. If the two and the Paladins are ready, I’ll send them to Nimun Holy Land with transfer magic.how  about that?”

“I have already packed it, so there is no problem. I will pick up my luggage from my room, so please wait for a while.”

“I’m not in a hurry, so please check slowly for anything left behind.”

While the two high priests and the paladins were preparing their luggage, she had a little more chat with Estoa. Estoa’s luggage bag had already been prepared at her feet.

“By the way, I’ve heard before that transfer magic can only fly to places I’ve been to once. Maybe Yuri has already come to the Holy Land of Nimun. Is there? ”

“No, I’ve never been, but a big dragon came to deliver the letter for me, right?”

“Yes. A dragon named Ladra Gruff has come to the capital before.”

“If so, there is no problem.” Continue reading

Five days have passed since the messengers from the two countries arrived. Even so, the messenger from the Principality of Silesia returned immediately and the messengers from the Holy Land of Nimun are still staying in the city of Nildea.

Today is “Summer 8th”.

If Rubetta and Ados expectation is correct, the army of the Kingdom of Eldart will come between the 15th and 20th of this month. In a week at the earliest, and in 12 days at the latest, the Yuri Empire will have a fight with the kingdom.

The number of troops is definitely expected to be a large army, and it is expected to be 40,000 or 50,000. The sound of military boots can be heard at any moment. However, if Yuri’s schedule was met, the word “one battle” would not be appropriate, and the war with the country should be over in an instant.

“Hmm …!”

In front of the desk in the office, Yuri raises her arms and stretches her body.

The letter addressed to the Pope of the Holy Kingdom of Nimun, which she wrote little by little every day, was finally written.

It is a long letter that spans 6 stationery sheets. It may be difficult for people to read this amount, but she’s not willing to accept complaints about this because the other party sent in a letter with a sentence amount of as much as four sheets of paper in the first place.

“Thank you for your hard work, my lord”

“Thank you, Caprice. Now that the letter has been written, I wonder if you can tell the messengers from the Holy Land of Nimun that we would visit in about an hour.”

“We know” Continue reading

“Anyway… Why did the Principality of Silesia declare war on a country that has a ‘dragon’?”

With a slightly regrettable look, Estoa said so while carrying the last piece of chocolate tart in her mouth. Of course, Yuri, who saw it, looked at Partita on the side and arranged for her to be served a second tart immediately. By the way, Badantere High Priest has already entered the 4th serving. Apparently there is no refrain word in his dictionary. Even though he is a priest …

“Certainly, I wonder. Did they believe they could win?”

“I don’t think that’s the case. Even if they can win, it’s inevitable that they’ll suffer enormous damage against a dragon. It’s as if they have no idea what they’re thinking.”

“Well, I don’t even know.”

Not only Yuri, but also Leonard High Priest and Roan High Priest tilt their heads. Then, the high priest Badantere, who finished eating the fourth chocolate tart, told Yuri, “I can tell you in my opinion.”

By the way, since it is an 8-cut tart, he ate 1/2 hole by himself. Continue reading

Yuri and the other move to the reception room in the lord’s building. Compared to the previous “Throne Room”, the room is quite small. There are only 6 guests on the other side, so there is no need for a large room.

In the reception room, two sofas for three people are lined up across the table.

Yuri and Badantere high priests sat on the sofa on one side, and Saintess Estoa, Leonard high priest, and Roan high priest sat on the other side. Three of the Holy Knights stand behind them.

“Yuri-sama. This is the case of the Principality of Silesia, but… was it really good that you received it as a “declaration of war” from the other country?”

“Yeah? What does that mean?”

Yuri tilts her head because she doesn’t understand the meaning of the words asked by Estoa. The high priest Badantere explained instead.

“Here, Nildea was originally a city in the Kingdom of Eldart. The kingdom will soon launch an invasion to Nildea, as they will forgive that their city is taken away.”

“Yes, I know that …”

“In other words, Estoa-dono is worried that the ‘Yuri Empire’ will be at war with the kingdoms of Eldart and the Principality of Silesia at the same time.”

“—ah I see”

It was explained so far, and Yuri finally understood.

War is the ultimate “diplomacy” for the nation, and if it loses, it is also important for the survival of the nation. So it’s only natural to make the utmost preparation to minimize the chance of defeat.

The city of Nildea is adjacent to both the Kingdom of Eldart and the Principality of Silesia, so if you wage war at the same time, you will have no choice but to face two fronts. At that stage, the “defeat” of the war would be confirmed.
―――― Normally, though. Continue reading

The door of the “Throne Room” was opened wide in response to the voice of Yuri.

The figure of the messenger was visible over there. There are a group of priests and two knights wearing sooted breastplates. The former would be the messenger from the Holy Kingdom of Nimun, and the latter would be the messenger from the Principality of Silesia.

Behind that, you can see the figure of Badantere High Priest. Yuri had asked in advance that she would like him to be present at the interview, so it seems that he came in at the same time.

(…………?)

The door was already opened to the maximum by the hand of the guide, Popuri but for some reason, the messengers do not seem to enter the room at all. Yuri was waiting with suspicion. Eventually, with a terrifying step, only a group of priests entered the room and knelt in front of Yuri. However, the knights of the Principality of Silesia still refuse to enter the room at all.

When she had no choice but to look at the two knights with the skill of <appraisal>, they both fell into an abnormal condition called “atrophy”. For Yuri, this is the first abnormal condition she sees. At least during the “Atros Online” game, there were no abnormal conditions such as “atrophy.”

“Somehow — it’s like a ‘throne room’.”

A particularly large room in the lord’s building. When Yuri visits the room that 72 people of “Nadeshiko” should have used for sleeping until just this morning, it is reminiscent of the most important “Throne Room” in the royal castle.

It is still nice that the room is covered with fluffy carpets, the walls are lined up in a slightly subdued red color, and the entire room is becoming more luxurious. It would be nice to have a three-step staircase in front of the throne, and the side where the throne is placed is higher. To be honest, Yuri already expected that this kind of renovation would come.

However, the ceiling of the room is about twice as high as before, isn’t it overkill? Why is this room just like a stairwell? It was obvious that the renovation work of the room was done with the help of “Kikyou”, a professional group of architecture, without confirmation.

“If it looks like that from the eyes of my Lord, it was worth the effort. We set up the room aiming for the ‘Throne Room’.”

“……so” Continue reading

“My Lord. A messenger from another country is hoping for a ‘visiting the landlord’.”

Today is “Summer Moon 3rd”.

Yuri, who was enjoying Hamar’s sleeping face in bed, headed to the office at around 10 o’clock in the morning, a little later than usual. Today’s “love duty”, Popuri of “Nadeshiko” was already waiting there, and she told Yuri that way.

“I wonder if it corresponds to the letter that Ladra Gruff delivered to neighboring countries.”

“I think so. It seems that the ‘dragon’ is a very feared existence in this world, so I think it couldn’t be ignored as an opponent.”

“Which country did the messenger come from?”

“They are from the Principality of Silesia and the Holy Kingdom of Nimun.”

“… Yeah? Does that mean that messengers from two countries came on the same day?”

“That’s right” Continue reading
