The Queen's Cosmetician

Just before Juno's visit. The Church of Our Lady, under pressure from the Sirens of Zemnum, asked Del Ligeigeigeigeia to send an envoy to explain. After the discussion in Japan, the reason for receiving the offer was that there was an opinion that the Holy Maiden Church should listen to the arguments first and keep them in the record.

"I'm hit..."

Mariage crushes the report in advance of the border. The die who was listening to the report beside her also felt like looking up to the sky.

Reina Luglova was among the envoys of the Church of Our Lady.

Clan Haive, Mayor Luglova, and Reina Luglova have been nominated in various countries as important witnesses in the war between the country and Perfilia. If you say the opposite, if you come into contact internally, you will be treated as a confidential person, and you may be able to look at suspicions from various countries with which you work.

This time, the report came in from the border, so before contacting Reina, I can barely contact each country.

(It's good to have people at the border...)

The die breathed a sigh of relief inside.

It was fortunate that they had sent knights and civil servants who had visited Luglova City together to convey the appearance of the reference person to the main place that was Sekiguchi. One of them saw Reina and her close friend Sheila's face. I would like him to receive special treatment when he learns that a church envoy has a special immigration permit that cannot be stopped at the border, or when he runs an early horse to the royal castle.

The shortest way from the border to the capital is by carriage in less than ten days. The days are shorter when Hayama arrives.

Reina's visit to each country was reported, and the security at every location from the mission's place of stay to the edge of the civilian streets was reviewed, and the day of the interview came while he was in a hurry.

"It's a shame, Your Majesty." I'm Reina Luglova. "

On the carpet between the walls, the mayor of Luglova neatly wrapped a furry outer coat and elegantly picked the hem of a wheat costume with gold thread embroidery. Behind them are three officials of the Church of Our Lady. I'm not fortunate to know the face of the die in it.

Reina raised her face and smiled at the die.

"It's been a long time since I saw a die!" It's so nice to meet you! "

It's a shame, Reina-sama.

I don't want to have bad conversations. Looking down at her from the side of Mariage as she reached the throne, Die carefully chose his words and greeted her.

"Mayor of Luglois"

Let's call Reina by the name of Mariage with her headache.

"Before I warm up my old friendship, may I ask you a question?"... why are you acting as an envoy to the Church of Our Lady? "

"I begged you to let me."...... Reina, I wanted you to know that Mariage had the right intention. "

"Intention...?"

"Yes, the intention of this sacred battle."

Reina said with a smile.

Her companions say nothing to the likelihood that she confessed to being the mastermind behind the war. The priests, dressed in costumes with a white base and sewn together with the silver of the sword and the red of the wilderness, turned to Reina, who began to speak as a representative, with a somewhat fascinating gaze.

The die could not hide what was bitter in their condition.

(... it's too late...)

This time, the special envoy should have been sent from the main hill of the Church of Our Lady of Little Scandinavia.

The appointment and dismissal of the envoy is made by the upper ecclesiastical levels of the Church of Our Lady.

Looking at them, it seems that the proxy war of the Church, which took the form of Perfilia versus Clan Have, did not mean that a part of the organization ran ahead.

(I can't disconnect.....)

It was hoped that the church's support for the war would be due to some hardliners, and countries such as Zemnam were moving forward.

But... things seem to be worse.

(Everyone in the Church of Our Lady desires the ostracism of Perfilia)

That's why.

Holy War

Mariage sighed and repeated Reina's words.

"You have no intention of speaking calmly, Mayor Luglois."

"Oh, isn't that your Majesty?" ─ ─ I thought Mariage and Die would be a little more surprised by Reina's arrival..... "

"I'm surprised. When the news came from the border."

"Oh, there's some innocent people who are interrupting this moving reunion." But that's it. I wanted you to have a pleasant welcome. Reina, you've welcomed Master Mariage before, right? "

It's been two years since Reina Luglova and the die first met. A painful welcome in Perfilia and a visit to another city in Clan Have to ask for help with the problem of the displaced made Del Ligueiria's party unacceptable. She was the only mayor in the world who welcomed her warmly.

Reina laughed as lucidly as she did then.

"Both of you look harsh, and it's not funny at all.... then we'll just have to get this difficult business over with.”

Even though it sounded as sweet as a whisper of love, Reina's words sounded terribly swallowy.

"Mayor Luglois... no, Special Envoy Reina Luglois"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Then I wonder if you could tell me right away." Is the Church of Our Lady supporting the struggle between Clan Haive and Perfilia? Give me a reason to be convinced. "

Absolutely.

Reina's response to Mariage's pursuit was light.

"This battle is for you to concentrate on your prayers."

"... then you'll say that you will give birth to the Holy Maiden?" I thought you'd be a little more rational. "

“Reina, you're not the idiot who goes all the way to Del Ligeigeigeia just to tell His Majesty what's impossible.... yes, I heard that there was a princess here who told me about the reappearance of the Holy Maiden without even understanding its meaning."

Reina continues her conversation as Lilith Carson, who preached the theory of the resurrection of the saint in the second Queen's election and confronted Mariage.

"The Demon Duchy (Maisenbourg) has been destroyed, and it is almost twenty years." Over the years, this western beast has only increased in chaos. The people strongly desire it. I wish you the return of the Holy Maiden. There is a way to make it come true. A boost for that. That's why prayer is power.... do you know His Majesty? How does magic work? "

Mariage is silent. She has been exposed to magic many times under Alvina's influence, but she may never have learned its roots.

Die called out to Mariage.

Your Majesty, may I answer in your place?

I forgive you.

"... Excuse me, Master Reina." I'm going to define it as a magician who has a talent for looking at external magic power, but as a result of conveying the will to the external magic power by some means and directing the direction, the magic force that follows will be revealed. "

Alvina once said:

It was the sorcerer who made the sorcery oriented. The formations, ceremonies, and sorcery letters were their auxiliaries.

"That's a very neat explanation, Die. That's right."

Reina praised the die without letting go.

So, do you know what determines the strength of magic?

"... magic power?"

Will.

Reina corrects the die's answer without letting her hair down.

“The answer to the die is not wrong. However, the most necessary thing to exercise powerful and complex magic is will. The power I wish for in magic. Reality, this is the power of prayer. Without clear directionality, the force dissipates. To make sand into a castle requires elaborate blueprints and hard work. That is the will of man. A man's wish. A man's prayer. If you wish from the depths of your heart, the demon will respond. That's the law of this world that has been forgotten.”

- I wanted to be a child.

When you grow up, you have to leave the flower street.

I wanted to become an adult.

To hug a dear man.

If you want, your limbs will be stretched out and clean soon.

The demon echoes the wishes of man.

The die has experienced it.

That's why I don't think Reina's words are false.

"The Holy Maiden can be produced. The Church of Our Lady hides the art of doing so. However, the will to produce a saintess is not enough. The total amount the demon wanted was not enough. It's not serious enough."

"That's why... you started a war?"

Mariage rises from the throne.

"You started a war, burned the land, and killed people!?" To rob people of their thoughts - just to make them think that only the Holy Lady is saving!? "

When a battle occurs, people are exhausted.

First, we will be robbed of our homeworld. It will be a food scramble. As a result, people who were supposed to be close to you become competitors. I can't imagine the future, and I can't help but wish for the end of it now.

Or he would pray to the Holy Maiden to be saved.

Seriously, risk your life and save me......

"Don't justify holy war!?" War is war! What is the Church thinking, bending and calling itself the representative of the Holy Lady!? "

"The end of this western beast."

Reina tells the exuberant Mariage.

She smiled coldly.

"Hey, Mariage. Do you remember the story of the ants?"

Mariage frowned and pushed silently. I don't remember the die. I wonder if he told us about it when he was cruising the Luglova.

"I'm talking about getting in and exterminating the ants that ravage the house." If I lived with an ant, I would soon be filled with holes under my feet.... Clan Have is a land of gravel. The ground is unstable, and an ant's nest can collapse into a house. So, find the nest, pour hot iron in, and kill it from the roots.... this western beast is the same. Now this beast of the west is devoured. So, we have to get rid of it. "

"What is it that is devouring you?"

"Of course, it's a dirty bug.... hey, Mariage-sama, what is it that makes this western beast so unstable? Because the Demon Duchy has been destroyed? No. Reina and the politicians aren't working hard enough? No. - I'll tell you the real reason. This western beast is nesting pests. There were the same bugs that constantly pressed on Reina's city. That's all the reason.”

"Insect...?"

"That's what you said..." When you think of the nomads, you think of them as bugs. "

Mariage opened her mouth to answer Die's question.

“I think some people are nomads, but not bugs.”

Reina smiled.

"It's just that there's a lot of insects in it." Because it's painful for me. Because I am weak. Because I don't have anything... even if I don't do anything, I'm the one who takes it for granted that I can be helped. They pull their legs. I can only pray that we help the Holy Mother to stop the steps of those who are thinking, trying and trying to change the status quo. "

"Reina..."

"But if you say the opposite, you can only pray, right?"

That's why I'm crushing you so you can pray more.

The battle is a stage device for that.

"Your logic is a mess..."

Die groaned.

"Certainly, there are people who want to pull the legs of others. But people don't really want to do that. If there hadn't been a battle, there would have been many good people who were able to protect their own lives in a boring way, but...!"

But this world is getting dirty.

Reina said quietly.

"Twenty years have passed since Maisenburgh's demise. Die, Mariage, tell me. Why do they all want the Holy Maiden so much? Reina, even if the Church of Our Lady doesn't support the battle, everyone is always looking for Our Lady and won't move forward."

"That's not true..."

Reina smiled at the denial of the die.

Why Perfilia?

Mariage asked Reina.

"Perfilia is not what you say, bug, is it? I'm sure that country was working hard. After the destruction of Maisenbourg, he lost everything in the civil strife and gasped more than ever for the shortage of sorcerers. Even so, I was still searching for a strategy that did not rely on magic, striking my hand and trying to survive. Without relying on clans."

You're familiar with it, aren't you?

It's a neighborhood.

"That's right..." Reina thought, as Mariage said. That's why I told Mr. Ditrault to do his best together. But they said no. I'm sorry. I couldn't bear to perish, so I tried my best to reach out. "

"... you will not perish, but you will perish?"

"Reina doesn't have to do anything to perish." It's a sinful country. "

Mariage asks strangely.

"What is sin...?"

"That country doesn't wear a queen."

Die desperately killed his expression.

I was about to get upset.

Mariage muttered in a trembling voice.

I have not received the Queen.

The Queen of Perfilia--Serenity, you're a man, Mariage.

It calms down between the two of us.

- The kingdom of men is cursed by destruction.

Mazenburgh is ruined. Almardi, a Maizenburgish woman, ended her long history by wearing her brother Ashburn as lord of the country. Yes, it is believed.

Reina's confession, as well as the guards' knights, made everyone who stood there breathe quietly. Except for the envoys.

Reina looked back at the clerk who was keeping the record.

”Please keep a proper record of what Reina said.”

"Reina... Special Envoy Luglois, do you know what you're talking about?!"

“Of course, Your Majesty, I'm not joking. Look, Reina has come to share the right intentions of this jihad with Mariage and all of you."

Everyone, in other words, countries that work with Del Ligueilia.

The die bit its teeth.

In order to avoid confidential meetings with Reina, you need to submit a record of the conversation to each country.

They took it in the opposite direction.

Whatever the claim of the Church of Our Lady, it must be communicated to the nations correctly. Otherwise, the Del Ligueiria will be bombed.

"Perfilia was given a king who was not a girl." There is no country so sinful. If it is not wiped out, sin may spread, and the curse of destruction may spread to the country that tolerates it. Therefore, the Church of Our Lady was ravaged by the city of Esmeralda by Perfilia, and unwittingly supported the decision of Clan Haive.... the people of Perfilia will be able to snow their sins by becoming the call of the Holy Maiden. And the man who calls himself Serenity should lay down his life before he can shake off the dirty curse. This battle will bomb Perfilia's sins, spawn the Holy Maiden, and bring salvation to this filthy beast of the West, Holy War. "

Reina put her hand on her chest and laughed like a flower.

"And I, Reina Luglova, have come to explain that I am responsible for the mission of becoming a saintess - do you understand?" "Her Majesty Queen Mariage Mizwili Del Ligeigeigeigeia"
