Another Life

January 18, A.D. 2.

On the nearest left side of the office, Orchid received the report in readings and said that Chloe would summarize it. As in the past day, a report had been received about the Gaston Chamber of Commerce.

For this reason, Orchid had heard reports about the matter to the Gaston Chamber of Commerce and the Northern Church with considerable disgust and repeated intestines in the left and near regions.

"Near left, what are we gonna do about this... you're being too harsh"

That's what I said, it was my mom who was coming to the office near the left.

The report focuses on Priest Juke Joaquin of the Northern Church in the village of Sixa, who gathers orphans and tells nobles to send their children to the mines where they are less numerous.

And it was a flow of forced labor in the mine to give most of its benefits to the Church.

The child was killed at the age of thirteen, and the nearby village security forces, all of them acquired, and the Laboc mine, where the child escaped, had captured and killed the escaped child, and all the evidence had been destroyed and put up for sale.

And the mines that were put up for sale had a kind of dazzling policy when someone said that when they bought them, the Gaston Chamber of Commerce and the acquired security forces would raid them, kick out the buyers, and start doing business again.

Furthermore, the report stated that three new children who had escaped from the Laboc mine had been rescued and transported to the village of Lugogne.

Near left, he said, putting up with his anger.

"Oh, this is horrible... but my biggest concern is that Jimenez has recently set up this business at the Gaston Chamber of Commerce meeting."

"Near left, what do we do? Those two, they definitely come in the way. Looks like Jack's here now."

"Please don't kill Jimenez... well, you're right not to kill him now.

If an executive like Jimenez suddenly dies, he could be suspicious. You're right to swim now. "

"Huh, I don't know. Well, you'll be good at what I said, so I'll leave you to it.

But when you crush them, let me bite one too. "

"... what is it, a reward aim?

"Don't be silly. I'm gonna move for free this time, because I have personal grievances."

My mom's personal grievances...... why don't you ask.

"Mom, it's not like I don't trust you, but what's your personal grievance?

In some cases, I might get it off the case. "

That's what Mama said, spitting fu and cigar smoke, looking at the ceiling.

"... don't tell anyone"

"Oh."

"The Northern Church is the enemy of my parents.

I was the daughter of the Count of Duran Dynasty... but I was the one your father was able to marry Meer Cat's mother.

In the Northern Church, submen and beasts are the use of the devil and must be killed... so must their spouses.

So my Vishuk family was burned down by the church and the people, and only I escaped.

What are you gonna do, take me off?

"Do you have any proof that the story is true?

"Evidence... my-oh. Did you believe that?"

That's what Mom said, with her cat ears and tail out.

Ya, it sucked, I was accidentally hit, and I accidentally thought it was cute.

No, you can't. Me. This is a bug plant, I got my hands on it, but at the end of the day, they're gonna kill me the other way around.

With that in mind, Left and Near said with a flat face.

"Okay, let's believe it.

Of course I'll let my mom choose the place she likes. If there is so much resentment, there will be no failure.

But I just want you to remember this.

Let them be judged by the laws of the Empire, without killing as much as they can. "

"... what?

That's what Mommy said, she glanced at the left-hand side.

"My mom's purpose is. Kill all the followers of a region like that? You're not, are you?

Look further ahead. What happens if we use this to advertise all over the continent?

"Well, the Church's credibility will fall to the ground."

"That's not all. If we suck, it's going to be a war between a country that belongs to the Church and another country... of course we are..."

"You're hostile to the church."

"Did you get that?

"Hahaha! You parents and kids are really funny.

... I rode that story, it could take years, be sure to start a war with the church and crush me "

And the flames of vengeance were burning in the eyes of his mother, who said so.

You really don't know what kind of villains these people are... what is justice is all your standard, and you live free.

I'm also free, my lord, if I bump into this thought, will you accept... No, no, what are you thinking, Chloe!

With that in mind, Chloe was blushing by herself.

Chloe, what are you doing?

That's what my mom used to say to me, near the left looking at me.

"Near left, take Chloe's virgin."

"Huh?"

The moment he said so, Chloe hurried to tell his mom.

"Sonia! What are you talking about!

"You know what, I'm telling you I'm gonna take it off for you."

Does that mean you're gonna pull it off with me?

"Yes, I don't want to! What's wrong with a virgin! To say this is something to take care of and put down!

"Chloe, you're losing over half your life."

And it came to pass that when the two men were beginning to speak, that the door was knocked, and the bullet was standing.

"From earlier, I heard about the virgin, even the next room, but can I come in?

"Oh, dear, come in. If you don't come in, I'm going to have trouble with this topic."

Chloe remembered the conversation she had had and made it red to her ears.

"I don't mind listening to Chloe's virgin, but for now, I'm here."

That said, Bullet Zheng, teasing Chloe, who was turning bright red, took the elongated object from the velcro back and threw it near the left.

What the hell is this?

With that in mind, when he checked the bathroom, there was a long kitchen box inside.

Kiryu?

With that in mind, when the left-hand side opened the box, there was an early warning with a fire-rine gun in it.

"Hey, Bullet Positive... could this be"

You're right, it's a cannon.

"Iron cannon?"

That was the moment when Chloe and Mom got stunningly hammered.

Then he was good at bullets and said close to the left.

"Hey, the cannon itself was relatively easy to make, but it was difficult to formulate with gunpowder inside, but, well, with the brains of the eagle, it's easy."

Seriously.

"Bulletin, what's going on?

"We haven't got ten yet.

But we're going to do more. "

Sure, this step, it's pretty big.

But stopping here doesn't make me what I want.

"Bullet correction, mass production is good as this, but why not improve it?

So Bullet thought for a while and said:

"For example?"

"For example, yeah.

The artillery squad only has a weapon if approached by a hipster knife. So if you lengthen this barrel and put something like a spear tip on it first, it will also be a spear.

Of course, it needs to be worn so that it can be shot.

And there will be a good chance of an outbreak in the fire rope, and there have been quite a few outburst accidents.

So it's not a fire rope, it's like a firestone. How about replacing it and setting it on fire?

"Well, that makes sense, too.

All right, let's keep studying it. "

My mom couldn't bear to tell me that Bullet Zheng was talking to me.

"So, Grandpa, what's that?"

"This is a weapon called a cannon. It's only at first sight, kid. Want to shoot?

"Can you shoot me?

"Of course."

And when he said so, he said with a face full of confidence.

In the courtyard of the headquarters, came the left proximity, the bullet and the mum and the secretaries.

In the near left hand, of course, the bullet was ready to fire whenever there was a firearm.

And the military and servants at work also came together curious to see if the left-hand firearms were rare and what was going to happen.

"In the meantime, the goal is good with the tree branches there."

"Oh, that's a tree branch."

That said, near left, he breathed fire into the fire, ignited it, and cut the lid of the fire, aiming at the branches.

Tree branches, tree branches… 40 meters away.

With that in mind, when the left proximity pulls the trigger, Pan! And the branches of the trees broke with the sound, and fell to the ground.

At the next moment, the voice of surprise that said 'Oooh!' enveloped the scene, and Bullet Zheng was good at saying it.

"That's right, the palace of the eagle. Good job on the branches."

"As it is, well..."

Actually, I aimed for the branch under it... let's not say.

That's what I think. My mom came to eat it.

"Hey, how did you drop the tree branches now! I didn't see anything! Magic?"

"It's not magic. This is the weapon that explodes what we call gunpowder and flies this bullet of lead.

Of course it's not magic, so anyone can use it.

From now on, I intend to equip the coalition with this weapon. "

"Seriously... this is going to change the way we fight"

Mum, who said so, was so surprised that she accidentally dropped the cigar and said:

Mom's right, this turns the battle of this world into a gallery.

But there are concerns... one is the existence of a magic barrier used by Luthai witches.

That was prevented by bows and arrows, but I think we should also prevent artillery.

If, like the enemy, there was someone who could use a magic barrier, how would we fight... this would require further research.

And the other is the extraordinary power of the individual.

There are people in this world who possess abilities that cannot be in the previous world.

The artillery is a dot attack, and some will only hit it with swords and other surfaces.

Unless a bullet has the kind of skills you need, it's possible in this world that you can easily change a war situation by yourself.

Relying on the power of the individual feels dangerous, but the point is balance is important.

That's what I think. Near left, Bullet said.

"Well, I also made roasted balls, do you want to use them?

"Stupid! If you use something like that in a place like this, it'll be catastrophic!

For now...... hey! This is a weapon that's still in the prototype stage, so don't talk to me!

So he cried unto them that were gathered.

I said, I can't stand a door in a man's mouth, and to the heads of state, rumors will be in my ears.

"Bullets, at Fort Amr, we invite heads of state and parliamentarians from all over the country to present the artillery.

Let me show you that, in order to provide a stable supply of nitrous stones, I will send a goodwill ambassador to the Kingdom of Tresso to promote a massive trade.

... you, you anticipated this and let me try it out here?

And when it was said unto him near the left, the bullet sharpened the eyes of the serpent, and said:

"Come on, it happens."

This guy... well, now we can talk about the mine.

"Mom, I'm going to the Serenity Empire, so could you give me a message?

"What, there's a fee?

"Hahaha, give me a break about that.

Until the end of the example case, ask Brigadier General Sanho, Colonel Neumann and Colonel McGregor to enter under their own surveillance and to leave Lake City and also to tell others about the matter.

Orchid, please arrange a ninja. "

"Yes!

"Then it's good for free...... close left, if you still interrupt, what do you do?

And his mother, who said so, heard him with a ruthless eye, near and left.

"In that case... turn it off"

And when he said so, he chewed up his back teeth, and said,

"Got it... I like it when you think about it calmly"

That's what Mom said, she went toward the headquarters building.

... I don't know what the best choice is.

But I can assure you that the Empire and the children who are forced to work have to help... for that matter, personal feelings... Iris, I'm sorry.

Chloe, we're going to Nariya, the Imperial City.

"Yes!

So he said, Near left, and Chloe went toward the gate.

―――――――――

The office dedicated to the Brigadier General, paid for by the coalition headquarters, was wrapped in heavy air.

Because Elias and Amiria and Kiyoshin, summoned by their moms, were astonished by the reports compiled by Chloe and the others.

Most surprisingly, Jimenez took over the mining business at the Gaston Chamber of Commerce meeting.

Amilia shuddered with anger, and Elias was bewildered.

In the meantime, Mom lit the cigar and said to the three of them:

"For that reason, Your Excellency the Marshal told the three of you today that until this matter is over, the use of the gate and the appearance of Lake City are prohibited. And under the watchful eye of Shinobu, an order was given for you to come in.

Of course, confidentiality is also imposed... I think you know what it means to know why I'm here, but if you violate it, you'll get your life. "

And she said unto her mother, Amiria tried to eat, and to hang, but she controlled it, and said unto her purity, Calmly.

"Thank you, Major Vishuk. Your Excellency the Marshal tells you that he will obey this order."

Brigadier General!

To the words of his purity, Elias and Amilia shouted, unintentionally.

"You're right about that... you two don't obey?

"Is this a good idea, Brigadier General!

Even the Brigadier General would have Jimenez take care of it with the princess or with the construction of the embankment.

You don't think I'm going to save your life!

To Amiria, who said so, Ching Shin said calmly.

"Don't you understand?

So listen, what are you gonna do with Jimenez?

"Of course, you're determined to help!

"Helping out... you mean letting them get away with it?

"You've made up your mind! What are you trying to say, Brigadier General?

And Amiria, who said so, behold, she hath shown her frustration.

"What if, even if you two go, you think Jimenez is the man to run away?

"It's..."

"Besides, if you ran away, where'd you go? Bulletin House, or even the end of the earth, will chase him.

Besides, Jimenez assumed the presidency of the Gaston Chamber of Commerce.

Without that Jimenez, the chairman, Herald Gaston, would be suspicious, killing all the children in the mine and not proving his relationship with the Northern Church.

Then, as they thought, the worst Serenity Empire could be the North Union.

Northern Church... I looked into it, apparently the Luthaians are also the use of the devil, the target of the massacre.

If your grandchildren were caught in such a place, they would definitely show off and kill you.

War can't be a winning streak, and the Allies don't know if they can win next, especially now that the Northern Church is eroding the interior.

What do we do? It's not just the Empire, it's tens of millions of lives in the Eastern Union, or Jimenez's... Which one do we take?

That explanation of purity was too true.

But in all honesty, Amiria's feelings were frustrating.

In the meantime Elias was different.

Because he had always fought on the front lines, he had abandoned and calmly executed his orders, even if his friends were suffering scratches in front of him.

For this reason, it was painfully clear what Kiyoshin said this time.

"Yes, Brigadier General... Major Vishuk, I understand, too, tell Your Excellency."

"Ellis!"

"Major Vishuk, tell him Colonel McGregor has also accepted. Amilee, I need to talk to you. Just get to the Knights of the Holy Guidance stuffing, please.

Now, Brigadier General, Major, excuse me. "

And Elias, who said so, bowed his head unto them, and pulled the noisy Amiria, and went out.

In the office where we were alone, my mom said to Kiyoshi.

"That's right, the left-hand man is going to do his own daughter. Decisive."

"If I wasn't as decisive as this, I wouldn't be able to top the outside world... chop, wait, I'd never heard of doing a daughter like that!

To the words of the Qingxin who said so, Mama said as Kyoton.

"Oh, you didn't know?... Oh well... I'll be home soon."

"Hold on, Major! Major!"

Ignoring that puritanical, heartfelt cry, Mommy stepped out of the puritanical office.

Well, with all this said, that Brigadier General in his wife would move, too.

Now that princess has spring to come... Ah ~ you're starting to have fun.

With that in mind, she stretched out her body and went home.

―――――――――

"Ellis! I'm not convinced!

And Amilia said unto Elias, when he was brought into the chamber of the Knights of the Holy Guide.

Elias, biting his lips with much remorse, withdrew Amiria's hand without saying anything, and softly held him.

"Chop, chop, wait... Ellis, are you crying?

With Amiria in his arms, Elias' body trembled into small pieces, and Amiria realized that Elias was killing her voice and crying.

So Amiria was able to calm down, and no matter what she thought, she understood that Jimenez could not help, and cried in Elias' breasts.

In the stuffing of the Knights of the Sacred Leadership, where no one was present, Elias said that the two who cried as much as they wanted, confirming and leaving each other had calmed down.

"... amily, I'm sorry"

"Idiot, don't apologize..."

"Right... at least Heath, I'll grab him with my hand and send him. That's what I can do to my best friend."

And it came to pass in Elias' belly, that Amiria said with one punch.

"Idiot, you would have already slashed Rye... here, I'll do it"

"But..."

"But it's not. There can't be a single hard thing in my life that kills my best friend... I'll do it here.

Besides, I already made up my mind. "

And when Elias saw Amiria, who said so, he held Amiria again, and said in his ear.

"Sorry."

"Yeah... I'm fine..."

So Amiria turned her arm around Elias' back.

―――――――――

Around that time, the left-hand side was waiting in the waiting room with Chloe in Nariya, the Imperial City, to see Lannis.

Sitting on a luxurious sofa, Chloe was relaxed by touching her jaw on the left hand side, but Chloe never eased her guard.

That too should have been because the hostility from the imperials, which can be directed to the left and the near, was tremendous during the time we got here.

But the left-hand side was rather flat as if they enjoyed it.

"Hey Chloe, why don't you get a little distracted?

"Your Excellency, are you not afraid? Until we got here, the eyes of the Empire were clearly hateful and eyed."

"Sure, you do. This is what Crane said about the pan.

But you know, the Imperials aren't stupid enough to attack us, and even if they do, you'll figure it out... right?

Chloe couldn't say anything back when she said that to the left.

"That's right... what happened to touching my jaw earlier?

"Hey, I can't really grow a mustache,"

"Beard, are you going to be stretched?

"I can have kids, so I want to stretch my beard to give them majesty. Doesn't it look good on you?

"No, my lord, I think anything would suit you."

"Hahaha, I thought Chloe would say that.

Yeah, Chloe, is it okay if I work overtime tomorrow?

"Yes, I'm fine... is something wrong?

"Tomorrow, though, I'm thinking of taking a stall boat with His Majesty, and I'd like to ask for some entertainment at the banquet table there.

What about the three secretaries, the Kimonos of the Luthai Empire?

So Chloe said, blushing.

"Or, Your Excellency, would you like to see me in my kimono?

"Oh, I'd love to see it"

Chloe couldn't resist the smile on her left hand side.

"Well, let's tell Colonel Kishima and arrange it."

"Oh, please."

So the left hand side said, the door was knocked, and the maid came in.

"Excuse me. His Excellency Marshal Sakura, Major Meisner and His Majesty are calling for you.

This will be an informal visit and we will be waiting for you in the office.

"Yeah, I get it. Then Chloe, let's go."

And when he said so, he rose up from the couch and said,

Guided by the maid, near left and Chloe said that the maid who was guiding him was walking while being seen by other maids, servants and officials with mixed eyes of fear and hatred on his way to the office where Emperor Lannis was located.

"I'm sorry, Marshal, but I've always been an enemy of the Empire."

"Never mind. I say this because I can be."

"Thank you for your concern."

So the maid stopped and knocked in front of the great door after a gentle conversation.

"Excuse me, His Excellency Marshal Kiyohiro Sakura Kuen Daihan is here."

"Come in."

And with his voice the maid opened the door and said,

"Please, Your Majesty, stay inside."

"Thanks"

That said, when the left proximity and Chloe went inside, there was a Lannis buried in the documents on the desk, a man with brown-haired glasses, and a red-haired man sitting.

We both knew immediately that the two men were civil servants because they were young but slutty good men.

But how can humans standing up everywhere be together like this?

So he knelt and said to Lannis that he was close to him, empathizing with Lannis.

"This, Emperor Lannis, is in a good mood."

"Oh, don't say that anymore, Marshal. Those who are swinging at each other's wives, don't be shy.

Lately, I hear Irina's taking Claudio and going out to see him. Sorry for the inconvenience. "

"No, rather it's this one that's helping. Iris wouldn't be standing still without Queen Irina."

"Hahaha! Sounds like that Lord Neumann's daughter. Let me introduce you to Chancellor Jeremiah Nash, the redhead here is Attorney General Badim Warran."

When Lannis told him so, they met close to the left.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm a marshal of the coalition, and my name is Sakura Kuen Daihan Kiyoshin.

I'm holding you back, Major Chloe Meissner of the Allied Coalition, and I want you to keep an eye out for me. "

Attorney General to the Chancellor, or just fine, will you invite these two too?

"It's unusual for your lord to come this far. What's going on today?

"On a daily basis, His Majesty conducts his affairs and thinks you are tired. Let's have a drink tomorrow night on a stall boat."

That's what Left Near said, Lannis said, inadvertently riding himself out.

"Oh! I really want to go! Is Colonel Kishima coming?

... No way, do you like cranes?

"This time, three of my secretaries will be here. This Major Meisner, too, is my secretary, so I'm coming.

Yeah, how about you two? I think we can talk about things we don't normally do. "

When Nash said so, he moved his eyebrows in a picky motion.

"Marshal, does that sound like something?

That's the prime minister?

"The Ruthai Empire has a proverb that says it has an ear on the wall and an eye on a cripple, and you don't know who's asking."

I see. If that's what you're saying, let's go.

"Me, too."

All right, now we can root for it, but there's a problem.

"Thank you. I'll sit down.

With that said, ladies and gentlemen, what does religion believe in?

No, the Northern Church heard rumors that we Luthaians were watching as demons. "

"Don't worry, we are both Greek"

When Nash said so, Warran was also snorting, but Lannis' complexion was obvious, and he was going crazy.

Sire...... I have a bad feeling.

Nash asked Lannis as if to speak for his near-left mind.

"Your Majesty... what is it, that face... no way!

"Sorry, I just got into the Northern Church."

Oh, you, what are you talking about!

"Heh, Your Majesty..."

"Marshal, I know how you feel, but let me talk to you first."

"Go ahead."

"Thanks.

Well, Your Majesty... my empire, more than it used to be in ancient times, the royal family was Greek, wasn't it?

Do you intend to destroy that tradition!

Besides, the Submen and the Beasts are also important subjects of the Empire! It must not be said that humans are the only good species, or that they become Northerners!

... In the meantime, shall I ask why?

So it was Nash, the first of which was slammed, but that was where he said the prime minister, or he heard calmly.

"No, actually... Irina's parents are Northerners and Irina herself is Northerners.

So, when we got married, I thought the Emperor's throne would turn around and wouldn't come, so I came in as I was told... No, that's why I can't discriminate against the Marshal.

It just so happens that it happened in the stream, and it's not because I believe it. "

So Lannis followed him hastily near the left.

Is this, for example, what the Pope feels like, "Actually, I was in Islam, Tehepero"?

Nash stuck with Lannis when he thought he was close to the left.

"Let the Queen be converted somehow, Your Majesty.

When this is known to the people of the Empire, subhumans and beasts will escape, tax revenues will fall and the Empire's economy will collapse. "

Well, I can see the Prime Minister's concern, but I'm not talking about it now.

"Chancellor, it's a strange story I'm talking about, but I don't think we're talking about it right now."

So he said to the left, and Nash looked and said, Shit.

"Marshal, I'm sorry. Forget about earlier."

"Yeah, of course. Well, it's time for us to get back to Lake City.

Your Majesty, the Chancellor, the Attorney General, I'll see you tomorrow night. "

That said, when the three of them were graciously placed in the office, they returned to their own office room due to a space transfer.

Near left, as he returned, he sat on the couch, looking up at the ceiling, and Chloe spoke with a dark face.

"This is getting trickier."

Sure, Chloe's right.

"Chloe, do you know how powerful the Queen of the Empire is?

"I don't know much, but His Majesty the Emperor is that kind of person, so the Queen tells me that it could be a convenience to the Northern Church.

But I don't know how many followers you are, so you can't say anything. "

Right...... Ask them.

"Who's in the ceiling today? Come down, I have a question for you."

When the left hand side said so, the ceiling plate opened, and the orange infarct came down without a sound.

"I'll sit at the orange pottery."

"Orange, how are your wives and Queen Irina doing?

"It's relatively good, but Iris and I are still best friends, and the other three can see the verse being avoided somewhere"

"Lana can tell because she's a dark elf, but also Cecil and Cecily... Chloe, you know why?

"The Northern Church does not even acknowledge the existence of magic, so perhaps it is difficult to deal with Cecile and Cecily, the Magic Instructors.

Besides, you are the daughter of Speaker Stark, of the Kingdom of Salz.

These two countries have been at war for years, so hatred won't be so easy to dispel. "

"Well... surprisingly, the roots are deep. Orange infarct, would you do me a favor?

"Huh?... Even if you say you don't like it, you tell Master Lana, right?

Orange infarct said so in a blatantly unpleasant voice.

"You know what I mean. I want you to find out about Queen Irina.

If I could, I'd have everything to do with my parents and my thoughts. Find out as far as I can tell. "

"Well, I'll take it for Lana's sake, but don't rely too much on us."

That said, the orange infarct disappeared.

Now maybe we can find a little breakthrough.

But there is a chance that the followers of the Northern Church will be in my territory and in the military... like always, and don't abandon this.

With this one, I managed to make the Northern Church a bad guy, promote it, and in the direction of reducing the number of believers in the realm... no, I'm so weak.

Tell the monks, let them preach Buddhism... that's hard.

Lord Nobunaga eventually chose the path of harmony when he had always fought against him.

... I'm sure the Bail family knew His Majesty Nina.

Want to talk to Her Majesty Nina?

Nevertheless, the most difficult thing to solve is Jimenez's behavior.

If you're Jimenez, you know how bad this is.

If so, why did Jimenez take up the position? No way, he's not the guy blinding himself to gold, and he wouldn't be thinking about overthrowing the empire.

If so, why?

With that in mind, the left-hand side was again gazing at the ceiling.
