Unmotivated Hero's Tale

When they broke up with the Omersens, who arrived in the capital and headed for the lower reaches of the office, Yui and the others arrived at the prepared embassy, guided by a magnificent year named Spirito, who named the Empire's guide.

"I didn't expect you to have a new embassy. But are you sure you want me to take this place?

After arriving at the embassy and being guided through the hall, Yui was taken to the office where she would use it herself, where she accidentally expressed her emotion.

"Yes, no problem. This is the Emperor. His Majesty immediately asked the Kingdom of Clarice."

"Heh! Well, let's just say I'm willing to use it. Now that you tell me it was a joke, I won't give it back."

When Yui says so with a laugh, the serious Spirito looks suspicious with his neck tilted.

"No, I won't say that, I hope you're comfortable"

"Ha, I'm sorry. Sometimes he has a habit of saying things he doesn't quite understand. If you think you're a little poor for your head, you'll be fine."

In response to Spirito with a slightly puzzled look, Alex, standing next to Yui, pinches his mouth with a bright voice as he further narrows his usual fox eyes.

"Hey, Alex. Is that what you say?

"Ha. With Lute, you'd have at least said something harder than me."

Hearing Lute's name, Yui swallows further objections when he thinks he can't deny it.

Meanwhile, Spirito, the guide, coughed one up to change the field air while remembering the question of whether the two in front of him were really those Yui Istarts and Zhu demons.

"Ko, Kohon. In the meantime, that's all about the description in the building from me and the handover of the building again. Do you have any problems or questions?"

"No, I don't have one. Thanks for the bad luck with the building here. Last year it happened to be in a fire, and last year it was a city building that was going to collapse, but this is different."

"... satisfied and above all. I will tell His Majesty the Emperor so."

Spirito swallows it all the way down his throat asking me not to compare it to an extended or aged building to this wonderful new building. And I bowed my head without changing one expression.

"Oh, it's my pleasure to tell you"

"Okay. From now on, I will be attached to this mansion. We usually pack it in the modem on the ground floor, so please call us whenever you need anything, etc. And the deputy ambassador arrived at this mansion a few days ago. When my story is over, I think I can come over here, so I'll tell you first."

The deputy ambassador had been told by the Ministry of the Interior that he was the one travelling to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Yui nodded loudly as he worked his thoughts on what he was like, finding out towards Spirito.

"Oh, you're the one sent by the Home Office, aren't you? Got it. Thank you, Spirito, for your continued support."

"Yes, please excuse me."

After a polite courtesy, Spirito slowly leaves the office without making any noise.

Yui smiled and dropped it off, speaking to Hoot and Reyce, who were on the spot.

"You guys check the room in the embassy. If you have an extra room, you can use whatever you like."

"Is that true? But can I decide that on my own?

"Fine. Fine. Anyway, if there's anything wrong, you just have to change it later. It's still in a new state of construction, and we should decide how to use the room from now on, right? I don't care if you don't even occupy the big conference room for your office or anything."

"Ha... I'm going to take a look at the common sense room for now. Mr. Hoot, let's go."

Though stunned by Yui's appropriateness, Reyce leaves to encourage Hoot to find their room.

"Bye, Captain. Please excuse Atai first. The Empire's booze is calling for Atai."

"... don't just rub it."

"Trust this Atai. If anything, I'll make sure you can't even rub it."

Nanya, who said so and laughed niggardly, left the room without even hearing Yui stop.

"No, that's not what I'm talking about..."

"Right. I just said it out loud, and it's not like she's gonna listen. In the end, all we can do is pray and die."

"It's sad that you're right...... well, when it comes to her, it doesn't even matter now. In the meantime, shall we think about the people who are coming? So, Alex, have you been able to wash the person sent in by the Home Office?

Because it was a matter of foreign ministry jurisdiction, but only a small number of personnel were selected by Yui himself at the Imperial Clarice Embassy. Therefore, Yui had entrusted Alex with the washout in respect of the other personnel.

"Oh, I'm done. Even so, you probably know more about him."

"Do you know me better? I wonder what that means."

"The deputy ambassador sent by the Ministry of the Interior is Count Lopen. Once upon a time you were Dr. Azwell's..."

At the time Alex explained, suddenly the door to the room is knocked. And without letting his hair in, a slightly high-toned young man's voice rang inside from the outside.

"This is Deputy Ambassador Lopen, may I?"

"Oh, go ahead"

When Yui heard that familiar voice somewhere and said permission, the face he glanced through the door was a nostalgic figure he knew well.

"My Lord Isterz, no... Yui, it's been a while"

"Heh... that... Fernando? Fernando."

"That's right, Mr. Yui. Long time no see."

Eyes on Fernando, who appeared with a full smile, Yui opens her surprising mouth very gently.

"Uh, no, why are you here?

"I'm the deputy ambassador this time, Mr. Yui. You named Lopen earlier. Fernando von Lopen Deputy Ambassador for Foreign Affairs. This is my name now, my position."

"Not Matt, Von Lopen means no way..."

By the time Yui knew, he was a researcher at the Royal University who would take a trip to collaborative research under Azwell. Plus at the time he named himself Fernando Matt. Yui reveals her surprise at the name of the Lopen family, the kingdom's middle-aged nobleman.

Alex, on the other hand, who saw such a look of Yui, opened his mouth to him with his usual nicotine grin.

"With that said, by the time he succeeded the Lopen family, Yui had already been flown by Carlin, right? I don't think he knew, but he was originally from the Count's house."

"Mr. Alex is right. I didn't hide anything, but my father will be my predecessor, Count Lopen. Even so, it wasn't the official son, it was my mother who came out of the common people, who were originally insulated... and that's when the Count fell ill, he was forced into the Lopen family."

"Heh, heh, yeah. In the meantime, what are you talking about? Why don't you come inside and let me listen to you?

Surprised by the explanation, Yui recommended him straight to the couch in the center of the room.

"Thank you. Yui."

Slowly sitting on the couch, Fernando grinned as he turned to Yui, who sat face to face.

Then, as Yui scratched his head, he turned to him and uttered one question.

"Sounds like a lot of things have changed, but I wonder how long we haven't actually met?

"It's only about five years. It was the last time I saw you before Yui was flown by Carlin."

Having heard Fernando's reply, Yui explores the memories of the time from within his head. Then he remembered seeing him again at one of the drinkers when he was announced by Left Transition HR and brought around for a drink every night by Eince, who was more angry than the person in question.

The reason I could remember most was that Drunken Aince and Fernando started their usual havoc on the spot, despite Yui.

"At that time... but five more years since then. It's early. Didn't you grow taller again?

"It won't change. How old the hell do you think you are about me? As always, Mr. Yui is more appropriate around here."

Smiling, when Fernando says so, Yui scratches his head like it was weak.

"I guess I did. does that make any difference"

"I haven't seen you in about seven years with Mr. Alex, have I? I'm relieved to hear that you're still strong."

"Ha, thanks. By the way, I knew you had succeeded Count Lopen. Unlike the right uncle there."

Alex says so as he turns his gaze to Yui.

Yui then mumbled an excuse with a shanky mouthpiece that slipped away from his gaze.

"If I were your uncle, you'd be your uncle, too, right? I just didn't get a chance to know, force majeure. Anyway, why are you the deputy ambassador? I just thought you were something I was studying in college."

Yui hurriedly switches the subject when she senses that the conversation is about to move in the direction in which she is disputed.

"Yeah... that's what it is. If you try to be aristocratic, you can't just do research anymore. At some point, I was made to work for the Ministry of the Interior, and if I realized it, I would go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The bureau job is really dusty."

"You will, you will. It's not noble at all."

"Yui, I think you've been a nobleman lately, too."

He recently heads to Yui, who has just taken up his duties as Count Remliak, and says so with a grin from Alex.

"No, that's why I'm telling you. Something that's not even Roku."

"Absolutely. Thanks to this, my research in college took the form of a throw along the way... I hope someone takes over, but I guess I can't."

Fernando exhales a loud sigh on the spot with a fundamentally sorry look on his face.

"Don't you have that much talent?

"Unlike the Cadet School, the Royal University will keep Clarice's internal affairs situation reflected in its operations. Of course, it wasn't before, but after the war against the Empire... we won't reduce the training of military personnel, but researchers will be shredded, which is the hard part of our country right now."

"In the long run, it won't be a very smart way, but it's a hard place."

In the field at Saubakrien, at the instigation of the devastation of the Royal Lord's Army, there was an urgent need to restore military power in Claris to prevent aggression from other countries. Consequently, the development of the nation's human resources is clearly shifting to a military center, and finally the military is recovering to a point where it was also just over 60%.

Of course when it comes to recovery, it is simply about numbers of personnel, and the truth is that it is only a collection of incoming recruits and ancient soldiers who were retired, and they are not in a very satisfactory state.

But naturally, there was no less of a concern in the field of research with a blatantly restricted budget than in the military.

"Well, because our officials don't see things very long term. I don't tend to have a blatant and short-sighted policy. What more research did you throw out than that?"

"Is it research? I don't know how to put it... it's a study of demon stones, so to speak."

"Of demon stones?

Interested in what Fernando said, Yui turns to him and asks again.

"Yeah. Demon stones are pretty primitive ways to be used, don't you think? I also use street lights and cooking in Clarice, but I doubt there's any other way to use them if I did, because it's just heating in this empire or something. You treat miracle stones too crudely, no matter how much they cost."

"Miracle Stone......"

Because it is the content of my field of research, or because of Fernando's tone, heat begins to bubble.

Yui then scratched his head and mouthed the words that bothered him in his remarks.

"Yeah, it's a miracle stone. Uh, do you know the theory that demon stones have pure magic in them?

"I've heard of it. If that's true, I think it would be a good fit for a lot of things to emit heat and light. Of course not."

Receiving Yui's answer, spoken with a serious look, Fernando nods one satisfactorily.

"Exactly. But if it's really a hardening of magic, I think there's a more effective way to use it."

"For example, what?

"Right...... wouldn't it be interesting if you could replenish magic from demon stones, for example, when some magician runs out of magic? If this idea could be put into practice, I think it would significantly change the use of demon stones."

With that hypothesis in his ear, Yui's brain advances its thinking fast. And soon I uttered his own assumptions.

"You're absolutely right. For example, a therapist would be less incapable of saving a life that he should be able to save by being out of magic. From the military, if magic can be replenished with magic stones, the concept of tactics can be overturned from the ground up in magic warfare."

"It would be. Actually, I was getting to a pretty good place. For example, I found that when you hit a magic that incorporates a specific magic formula into a demon stone, you can express the same effect to the demon stone. In other words, the magic in the Demon Stone has proven to be capable of being used for multiple purposes. But that's when I found out, my father fell..."

When he speaks that far, Fernando gives a pitiful look as he leans down.

Yui, who saw him like that, slowly spinned his words to encourage him.

"If so, on the contrary, this job is serious. Military demand within Clarice should be considerably reduced if some kind of peaceful treaty can be concluded here with the Empire. That would eliminate the trend of underestimating Royal Schools like now. This is obviously not a military statement."

"Well, you belong to the Foreign Office now, don't you think?

"Ha, sure. You're absolutely right."

In contrast to the penetration from Alex's side, Yui giggles and gives his consent.

Meanwhile, Alex uttered words toward the two people on the spot, realizing that it was starting to get dark outside the window.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow, and it's time for you to open up, Yui?

"Well, I have some things to pack, and I guess I'll make some specific plans after tomorrow."

Yui nods and agrees to Alex's suggestion with a laugh.

Fernando, who was listening to those two conversations, also slowly rose off the couch as they were.

"Then you'll excuse me, too. I still have some paperwork left."

"Shall I go too? Yui, I'll see you tomorrow."

Seeing Fernando leave, Alex also leaves Yui's office with one grin. And when Yui, who was alone, put his hand on his chin, he was resurfacing an earlier conversation with Fernando in his brain.

"Mr. Fernando. I was wondering if you could give me a moment."

"What's up, Mr. Alex?"

Fernando, out of Yui's office into the hallway, is suddenly called out to Alex from behind.

And the moment he tried to look back as it was, Fernando stiffened his body on the spot when he realized there was cold metal on his neck.

"Just a little, I need to talk to you... without Yui, of course"

"... what are you talking about?

The effect of vocalizing and shivering her vocal cords, or a piece of Fernando's neck skin ripped open. The red Shizukuishi, created from its surface, conveys the belly of Alex's sword to form a muscle of red trajectory on the sword.

"Hehe, you know. Of course, I'd like to ask you something about your organization, the House of Lords."

Alex's gaze as he laughed and said so was far colder than ice, and much sharper than the sword being pressed.
