"Zhengchun, in addition to sending the second generation forward, can you add one more?"

"One more?"

Although I don't know why Yan Zhen proposed to add one more person to protect the bell who will go to the United Kingdom as a diplomatic ambassador. However, since he is the deputy chief, he can't refute his face in front of outsiders. Although, in Howard's eyes, Yan Zhen is not an outsider. Moreover, it is not impossible to add a layer of protective lock to the bell.

Therefore, Zhengchun, who was thinking like this, agreed to Yan Zhen's request: "Yes, then Yan Zhen is your candidate?" ”

And Yan Zhen, who received a pure and accurate reply, waved his hand to summon his psychic spirit, and then, as soon as the psychic picture flashed, Lily appeared in the psychic picture.

"Lily, you listened to all of that. Haven't you always wanted to visit the UK? Now, I've asked you to go to England as Suzu's escort to protect her, do you mean? ”

"Got it, master."

"Hmm." Yan Zhen, who heard Lily's accurate answer, turned his gaze back to Zhengchun and said, "My candidate is Lili, no problem, Zhengchun?" ”

Maybe after two weeks of getting along, Lily and the others have gotten along very well with Zhengchun, Zhengchun saw that the person Yan Zhen wanted to recommend was Lily, and after a few seconds of deep groaning, he agreed to Yan Zhen.

After seeing that Masamune agreed, Shiro Jiro, who was beside Masamune, nodded. Then, he opened his arms slightly: "From the hostage's point of view, this is a good result, right?" Because, it was taken away from Musashi that the strongest defense and attack. - although he also had a bomb in his arms. However, from a businessman's point of view, it is also interesting to consider how to promote it as an outcome. Right? ”

“Tes。 That's great. So. …… The celebration lasted for seven days. Take a day off. Prepare ......, or not, if you count today, it's five days for a total of twelve days. Then, the resolution is consensus. ”

However, Howard shrugged his shoulders: "Make such a big concession, I guess other businessmen will also go crazy to grab a piece of the pie." If so, please assume that I am the sole responsible person for this transaction. ”

That is to say. You want us to prove that you can't trade with Britain without going through Howard? ”

“Tes。” Howard nodded.

"If it comes from you, it can be used as a pretext to restrain other businessmen."

"Jud., so be it. I'm not going to take it back, please let me sell this little favor. ”

Shiro Jiro, who nodded, unfolded a frame with a certification seal on the palm of his hand. Soon, Howard also smiled wryly and stretched out his hand. Looking closely at his handshake with a bitter face, like Shiro Jiro, a frame proving the seal appeared on the palm of his hand. Is that.

…… Is the end of the negotiation?

Shiro Jiro on the other side also shook his hand across the table and shook hands. Meantime.

"Acknowledgment: The Common Seal of the Whole Genealogy: Contents. Official trade talks between the Far East, the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom. Sent to both sides for management: - confirmed' from the palms of the two men. Fragments of light scattered in all directions. As the scattered fragments fell silent, the two merchants rose from their seats. Then Heidi stood up as well.

〇 Red House: "Ahhhh It's true that the transport ship group hasn't touched much fuel and the like lately, but anyway, persuasion is also part of the work."

Probably noticing her thoughts, Howard let go of his grip and said, "The diplomat will greet you, and a carriage will be sent tomorrow morning."

Then, in the near future, it is expected that your representatives will be summoned to our 'royal palace' and a meeting will be set up after the welcome banquet to discuss future issues. I'm afraid it will be held on the first day of the festival, after the evening. ”

"Jud., thank you for doing this. - Is this information free? ”

"Tes., it's a pro bono service. - Goodbye. After saying this, Howard bowed deeply and said, "Leave two days to tidy up the day, a total of twelve days of preparation and celebration." Banquets and meetings are included thereafter,...... Hopefully there will be a good trading result. ”

In the evening, the eight ships floating in the air and side by side with the clouds in the setting sun could be judged everywhere by the thin clouds that dragged on, passing by the west wind.

Eight ships, with a total length of almost eight kilometers, Musashi was facing away from Britain at a position five times its own length. The ships were lined up in a fan-like queue according to the three ships on the left and right, and the two ships in the center kept a distance of one ship from each other, slowly changing the height of the front and rear ships. What is going on is the connection with the transport ship and the carrying of cargo. and the circulation of cargo between Musashi ships.

In addition to transportation using a traction belt and a circulating traction belt that circulates it, transportation is also underway by using the up and down movement of the central front and rear ships, and the difference between the upper and lower elevation through the conveyor pipe.

The ship and its crew are busy loading supplies into large wooden boxes for transporting cargo.

Workers of the large races, orcs, were responsible for carrying cargo, which relied on physical strength, while winged and flying people carried light cargo between ships.

In addition, the genealogical relations led by Shinto are in charge of maintaining a large number of psychiatric spirits, together with the Musashi Funema Port Management Department, which is supervised by the Circulation Committee of the Industrial Committee under the Student Council.

As long as the cargo is carried, the transports will dock with the inboard sides of the Musashi ships without leaving the outside sky. The reason for these works is that

"From the day after tomorrow.,Preparation for the spring school festival.,?。

As if looking down at the alarms and driving sounds that sounded from everywhere, and the howling of the air, a voice came. The location of the source of the sound is now rising in the center of the rear ship. Okutama rear. On the bridge in front of Musashi Ariadust Academy.

On the steps leading down from the bridge to the central avenue, two figures are seated. One is a young man with glasses, Neshin Yuan, and he is sitting on one side at a distance of three people.

"President Sakai Gakuin. Is it okay not to prepare for tomorrow's trip? Neshin asked Sakai. While thinking about it, I really like to worry about people. While saying, "From the day after tomorrow, it's Musashi and the British Spring School Festival and something like that. I've heard about these things through the psychic text sent by Ogaiza Vilekun, but tomorrow there should be a lot of things to deal with tomorrow, such as Musashi's preparations for entering the port, and the procedures for the transport ship on standby to land in the UK, right? ”

"Hey, I heard that even if you want to trade, it's just a stall to deal with it, right? On this occasion, I had to go to the person in charge of the transaction of the other party's industrial committee to explain the suspension of trade, but what should I say? ”

"How about writing like this for personal reasons? Anyway, the other party will have a unified voice. ”

Also, facing Sakai with a cigarette pouch in his mouth that was not lit. Neshin said, "But...... Why here? ”

"Well, Tuscent, because you're here. Because I was asked by Maki Zi-kun, about you. ”

"Huh? What the? ”

"Jud.,—— said leave it at that."

Ah, put aside the Neshin Yuan who opened his mouth and squinted his eyes,

…… It's really a bunch of adults who fail in every way......

Think of it this way. But Sakai curled the corners of his mouth and said, "But what? Uncle, I don't feel embarrassed anymore as I get older. And because I don't care much about things that will be hated, I have questions for you. ”

“…… If it's those past events in Sanzheng Spain, even Naruse can explain it? ”

"That's not the case. That's it. That one. - Erjing pattern. ”

Neshin realized that his expression had changed. Then. Turning his gaze to Sakai, who was looking at the southern sky in the backlight, he said, "-Anyway." Just as I was told after the First Battle of Mikawa, I tried to investigate all kinds of information in Musashi and organize it. ”

"How does it feel?" When asked, Neshin shook his head: "It is said that it began to happen about 30 years ago, and it happened in various countries, and there is a clue that cannot be confirmed in any way......

"Say it and judge it. Ah, from my point of view, is it to listen and then make a judgment? ”

Jud., Neshin Yuan nodded and said suspiciously: "Although it is not clear, the "Princess Hide", which is closely related to the Erjing pattern, has a pattern similar to a law. ”

"That's?"

“Jud。” Neshin nodded again, and then expressed his speculation from the results of his investigation.

"I'm afraid that only those who attack the name, or the people around them, will encounter the "princess hidden" in ,——. ”

"It's not clear yet. For example, Vice President Honda-san's mother, Honda-san, and her father are not famous. So it can be said that there are exceptions, but so do the rules......"

Neshin raised his right arm. Summoning the representation box, after confirming that Macbeth did not emerge from the bandage wrapped around his right arm, he brought up a diagram from the intelligence field (datapack) in his possession.

Sakai, who was peeking from the side, saw that it was a pattern of several rectangles connected by threads up and down, and said, "Is it a system diagram?" This one. ”

"Jud., this is a genealogy chart of the name-bearers centered on the union of student unions and presidents of various countries. Among them, although ...... have not yet been completely discerned, there are people who can only be thought to have disappeared. ”

"It's really scary. I've been acrossing this kind of thing recently, though. ”

"It's a mystery about that. Principal Sakai Shoku, as the name attacker, clearly witnessed Princess Hide, but it hasn't disappeared even after more than a month has passed. ”

"Hey, hey, are you hoping I'm gone? That's a nuisance. …… But. ”

Sakai looked at the pedigree chart,

"It is true that countries occasionally do not make it clear about the retreat of the name-taker. …… It's easy to do something that is clear or to fight against the celebrity or something, and celebrities and the like disappear without knowing it. ”

"Jing Yi. Naomasa-sama, is that the same? ”

"That's true." In the face of Sakai's words and the expression with a wry smile, Neshin said that he was very sorry. However, Sakai's wry smile only intensified.

"What is your personal opinion at this point in time? How does it feel? I'd love to ask. I. ”

“Jud。 There's no definite evidence, but whether it's weird or artificial, I think there's something similar to directionality in it. It's like the one who is the name and the one who is related to it. ”

"Tuscint."

"What's the matter?"

Jud., Sakai nodded and pointed to the pedigree. Then he said, "I would be happy if I could continue the investigation." I don't know much about psychic belts and stuff. ”

That's right, Neshin smiled bitterly. While looking up at the transport ship carrying goods, it headed in the direction of Tama. While raising your right arm. He gently patted his bandaged right arm with his left hand.

"But ah,—— don't want to deal with this." Glancing at Neshinhara's bandaged right arm, Sakai sighed lightly and asked, "...... That ridiculous curse, is it really tricky? ”

"It's really tricky." Neshin replied.

…… More important than inconvenient is that it is dangerous.

"Has Sakai-senpai ever been cursed?"

"There were some in the active duty era. Because it was immediately eliminated by Retata's singing, it was just that he couldn't drink alcohol for two or three days. What is the curse of the moment? ”

"Will unconsciously do things that endanger the king."

Neshin shrugged.

"As long as I operate the psychic belt, I will inadvertently unfold Macbeth's text, and use the psychic tape to spread information about the student council through the representation box from behind my back. In addition, there is the use of telepathic scripts to send internal information to the outside world......"

"Something like a virus?"

"That's true for channeling. Because it's a curse that coincides with the existence called Macbeth, it can also correspond to other things...... The most terrible thing is that if you try to sharpen charcoal with a knife in class, it will become quite a terrible situation. ”

Sakai tilted his head forward. After a while, he gestured horizontally with his finger over his neck. Said: "Like this? To Tory? ”

"No, it's the feeling of throwing himself over and stabbing him. I was going to sharpen the charcoal myself, but Honda-......, who noticed something was wrong and stopped it, said that the samurai Honda-kun felt like he was about to throw it with his fingers. ”

"What a lady, you're quite capable. …… Has anyone else noticed? ”

Neshin shook his head,

"-Ah, and Mr. Samsui. After discussing with her for a while, she picked up the pen between her fingers and asked me, "This?" ”。”

But well, Neshin sighed. While thinking that this was an experience, he said, "Even if I was writing the original manuscript for the exhibition at home, when I noticed it, I realized that I had made a lot of orders for the student council as the recipient of the crying system mouth game, and so on, I really couldn't laugh at it. There are three copies that have not had time to cancel and are still shipped, but my royalties are more dangerous than Aoi-san's life.

After all, he has Asama-kun and Urkiaga-kun in charge of testing poison anyway. It's just—"

"Just?"

"If you look at the Psychic Tape at home, you will find that there is a lot of criticism against you, and it is difficult to work. When you want to do something, for example, when you are preparing to write a manuscript, you will think that you will be told that you will write a manuscript without handling the work of the student council. No, that's actually the case. However, when I thought that I would be said to do that in my free time in the future, I naturally stopped what I was doing.

What about President Sakai? When you are usually talked about by others, how do you give yourself a round? ”

"Ah, I'm already relying on the old and selling the old - hey, don't make such unreasonable demands to my uncle, and so on. As for the active era, the psychic belt has not been as developed as it is now, and it is still in a grassroots state...... However, on the contrary, when they are discussing, they will bet on each other with everything they have. ”

“…… Sakakibara-sama: That's what made a name for themselves at that time. ”

"Yes. But how does Sakakihara plan to build his reputation now? ”

“…… If I didn't even have the strength to be famous, I'd be holding back now. ”

"Even Sakakibara was a bit of a drag on us at the time."

Is that so? Neshin tried to ask, "When you interact with the remnants of Imagawa, what will that fool say when it comes to six o'clock in the afternoon?" Then farewell! "Well. It's not as simple as saying goodbye. Obviously, if you're not there, the wall will be missing a corner. Although after that, he privately and Koduo taught Imagawa's students a lesson from the window of the private school. ”

"Nothing has changed in the past and now......"

But Sakai said, "Well, it's good for people like me to feel confused." It was this period of rambling that I would notice the most fulfilling when I look back on it later. But...... If you really want to unlock that curse, it should be the best choice to ask her in the UK. ”

"Meeting her to end Macbeth at the end of the play, or leaving England far away, I decided to leave the stage ......, that is, to dismiss the student council and disappear."

"What should I do about the preparations for the celebration that began the day after tomorrow and the United Kingdom?"

When asked like this, Neshin shrugged his shoulders: "There will be a sale, and I will appear because of the original reservation." Although I don't think guests will come to me. The preparation of the festival will be left to everyone. ”

With a sigh of oops, he called out a side of the box.

"According to an email from Ogaiza Vere, there will be a barbecue on the beach on the fourth floor tonight. What else is written, "You can also soak in hot springs?" Want to come? "What the hell are you doing?"

“…… What the hell are you doing? ”

Jud., after a self-examination and self-answer, Neshin looked at the schoolhouse behind him once again and muttered softly, "Although I have been keeping my distance for about two weeks,...... But from an outsider's point of view, it's really quite strange. ”

Then, when the sun goes down and the night air comes down from the sky.

There is a shallow beach and a seashore facing a cluster of low hills, illuminated by firelight.

A location that is a little away from the waves that are rushing and receding. The numerous bonfires set up there were illuminated by a large number of iron plates carried behind digging up the sand and erecting the stove, as well as the crowds and aliens surrounding it.

Although most of them wore Far Eastern uniforms, the rest were split equally natives and foreigners. As for the purpose of this mixture,

"So, I, the Musashi Ariadust Teaching Institute Student Council Accountant Shiro Jiro. Bertoni, for the preparation of the spring school festival that began the day after tomorrow and the friendship between the two countries and the prosperity of my money and self-interest in the official festival that follows—"

"Shiro-kun, Shiro-kun, in the whole with feelings to let everyone accept and the actual benefits of the part is taken away by yourself, although it's good, but I think it's a bit bad to say it officially."

"Well, is it right to keep your posture down here, Heidi? Well, everyone, it seems that it is ostensibly for the sake of friendship between the two countries that are about to hold the Spring School Festival, but because it is very troublesome-"

"You don't have any good intentions at all!"

Shiro Jiro nodded in response to everyone's complaints: "Don't worry." - If you run out of strength in the process of protesting, you have no choice but to go to the merchants. I'm very relaxed. You guys are going to get poorer. Then let's continue the conversation after the power relationship is clear.

Do you understand? All in all, although it is remembered that the merchant will treat the guests, there must be an insider, but if you can eat it, you can eat it. Eating a point takes advantage of a point. Tonight is a pleasant feast. All you have to do is laugh and talk happily. Because smiling is free. So toast to the friendship between the two countries and my glittering money! ”

Wordlessly, everyone bowed their heads and touched each other's glasses and cups.

But on the westernmost side, with the barrel hanging on the hardpoint at his waist and standing up from his chair, Samsui said with a flushed face, "The barbecue meeting that costs other people's money begins——! ”

With these words, the seemingly friendly meeting began. (To be continued......)
