"Franks."

Not long after the Imperial Council ended, Bertolis was about to leave when she was stopped by Honazel.

"Do you have any other commands? His Highness the Serenazel. A flash of surprise flashed in Bertolis's eyes.

It's no wonder that the chief secretary and director of special services has known Schunazel for many years, even as far back as a teenager.

The reason was that Honazel chose a knight for the withdrawn Camillo at the time, and Camillo sent Monica to Princess Mariana to receive swordsmanship instruction. So, because of this relationship, I became acquainted with Bertolis, who was also one of Mariana's students at the time, so that our future imperial chancellor could be acquainted.

It sounds like a romantic encounter, but the reality has nothing to do with romance. The two met, but that's all. So far, the intersection between the two in life has only been limited to the connection between the workplace.

"If you see Cornelia, please tell her, I can understand her feelings when she also lost her brother, but this kind of nonsense should be stopped."

"Your Highness, you seem to have mistaken something." Bertolis lifted the rimless glasses on the bridge of her nose expressionlessly, "First, I don't know where Her Highness Cornelia is or what she is doing. Second, Her Highness Cornelia is already an adult, and I believe she can understand what she is doing. ”

Bertolis's answer was expected, but Honazel didn't care.

"However, after His Highness reminded me of this, I did remember a noteworthy piece of information." Just then, Bertolis spoke again.

"Since it's noteworthy information, why don't you bring it up and discuss it at the Imperial Council?"

"Because it's still only within the scope of the Ministry of Intelligence, what was proposed at the Imperial Council was transgressed."

"Okay, let's talk about it." This kind of businesslike tone is impossible for our Imperial Prime Minister to refuse, but then again, there has never been an example of neglect in the handling of official duties.

"The rebellion that took place in the Chinese Federation has ended, and the great Chinese Federation has once again extinguished the flame of rebellion, so that the province of Afghanistan has returned to the embrace of the Federation. And in order to show the magnanimity of the little girl of the Son of Heaven, the Federation decided to elevate the administrative power of the Afghan province to the level of autonomy. ”

"It's funny." Shonazel couldn't help but laugh funny.

I don't know if I'm amused by Bertolis for revealing so much information in just a few words, or if I'm applauding this unexpected result.

"Behind the rebels, there are high-ranking people to guide them." Whether it is the accurate analysis of the intelligence or the rapid response, this is by no means something that a group of poor mountain people can think of.

"Could this be another new Zero?" Schunazel couldn't help but think.

.................

"Hmm....."

The pink-haired girl's brows furrowed together in a pensive low. Then he stood up anxiously and looked left and right at the chessboard in front of him, which had been split into several different heights.

"I'll go...", picking up the black horse on the board, hesitantly trying to put it in the top square, but then retracted his hand just as he was about to put the piece down.

"Here." It was not until this action was repeated several times that the girl finally made up her mind to place the chess pieces in the position where she thought it was safe.

After doing all this, the girl looked cautiously and nervously at Kamiyu, who was sitting at the other end of the chessboard, looking at the book.

"Are you sure?"

Kamiyu asked without raising his head.

"This...."Although this way of shaking a person's resolve is very old-fashioned, it has been tried and tested for hundreds of years, and girls are no exception.

"Sure!" However, the girl quickly collected her mood and nodded heavily.

After getting the girl's confirmation, Kamiyu simply flipped a small square on the second layer with the queen in 180°.

"General."

"Wouldn't it!?" The girl let out a cry of confusion and remorse.

"I'm sorry, Mistress Yuphimia, Mistress Kamiyu is right. Above. Musashi, who came over with a plate of refreshments, had one in hand. In the emerging window, the simulated three-dimensional chessboard has been restored to a flat chessboard, indicating that Euphemia has run out of moves.

"I have to say, Yuffie, your imaginative thinking about 3D space is hovering on the edge of the passing line." Kamiyu closed the book and smiled without sarcasm.

The so-called 3D chess consists of 3 blocks of 4 times 4 and 4 blocks of 2 times 2, a total of 7 blocks of different heights, and they are like stairs parallel to each other, and when viewed from the side, the high piece is just half covered by the low piece. If you look down, it's like a regular chess board.

If that's all there is to it, 3D chess may not be that difficult, but the real difficulty lies in the fact that when there are no pieces on the 4 small layers, or only one of their own pieces, they can be twisted in parallel or flipped 180°, and they can jump from one large layer to the same position of the adjacent large layers.

This means that the player must have the ability to build a matrix model in his brain, and that rules such as the movement of other pieces between levels are merely pediatric compared to this seemingly simple but complex rule.

"One more time!?" Yuffie said unwillingly.

"Are you sure?" Kamiyu made a continuous upward cross-cutting gesture to the undulating chessboard: "I have given you 3 floors of space....."

Yufy's face suddenly turned red involuntarily.

3D chess can be adjusted to a maximum of 5 layers of three-dimensional space according to the different levels of difficulty, which means that from the beginning of the arrangement of the chess pieces, Kamiyu has to give Yuffie as few as 4 to 8 pieces. But even so, Yuffie was defeated.

"Miss Musashi, come down!" Yuffie pulled Musashi along.

"Brother Huang, Miss Musashi is very powerful! You can definitely win. ”

"It doesn't make sense. Above. Musashi stood next to Yufi's seat, not intending to sit down.

"Why?" Yuffie looked at Musashi curiously.

"If you're okay with Euphimia-sama....." After a moment of silence, Musashi sat down.

Ten minutes passed, and not a single piece on the board moved.

Musashi, on the other hand, just closed his eyes and said nothing, as if in a false sleep, while Kamiyu looked down at the book.

"That.... Didn't you say you were going to play chess? Yuffe, who was sunburned aside, reminded in an embarrassed whisper.

Twenty minutes passed.....

"I said, have you forgotten something?"

The two remained motionless.

Thirty minutes have passed ....

Just as Yuffie was drowsy, Musashi suddenly spoke.

"This time it's a tie again. Above. ”

"Eh!!!!!?"

Yufi, who had not yet come to his senses, looked at the motionless chessboard in a daze, and then kept scanning Kamiyu and Musashi's bodies back and forth.

"The battle between the computer and the computer is about the power of the game and the number of games stored. Above" Musashi said an explanation that is not an explanation.

"Can you elaborate on that?"

"When Musashi was born, I used 3D chess to practice her arithmetic skills, and Musashi was already quite familiar with both her arithmetic ability and the number of games she played with me. So playing chess with her only needs to let her simulate it and get the result. ”

Kamiyu's explanation allowed Yuphimia to finally know the true meaning of what Musashi had said before that didn't make sense.

"Kamiyu-sama, your lord has contact, above." Musashi, who got up again, said suddenly.

"30 minutes ago?" Kamiyu only felt her eyelids begin to jump desperately.

"That's right. Above. ”

"Next time, I'll have to talk about this kind of thing first!" Kamiyu jumped out of his seat and sprinted off the bridge as fast as he could.

"Imperial sister, I'm sorry. I didn't take care of the royal brother for you...."Watching Kamiyu's reaction, Yuphimia said to Conelytica, who didn't know where he was.

Turning his gaze to Musashi to the side, Yuffie felt as if he could find an ally.

"Speaking of which, why is Miss Musashi called Musashi? The name is very oriental, and it shouldn't be the style of the royal brother. ”

"....." Musashi's movements paused for a second.

"Lord Euphemia, everyone has their own secrets, even me. Above. ”

...........................

"I'm not blaming your brother and sister complex, but I also think you're just messing around by doing this."

"I have my own way of doing things, you just have to give me the information you know." Cornelia's face was coldly accentuated by a murderous aura.

"But I think it's more advantageous for you to stay in the center than to go it alone as you are now." On the other side of the communication was a slight pity.

"Since all this is related to my father, I don't know who else in the court is worth trusting. Besides, I'm going to end Yuffie's feud with my own hands. ”

"You're too conceited about your own force." A helpless sigh.

"Well, His Highness Shunazel asked me to tell you that it might be of some help to you to collect some research materials left by His Highness Kamiyu."

"Kamiyu?" Cornelia finally had a surprised expression.

When chapter 05 is finished....

The Cup of Heaven: The end of the next chapter could be written like this.

Fairy: Swollen write?

【Cup of Heaven: ...... accept

Elf: Huh? What's wrong with you, in a bad mood?

Cup of Heaven: Festival was actually eaten by Reimu! It's not me who ate the festival!

Fairy: It's too basic~~ Recently, I have found that my shame level has a tendency to increase.
