"And that's why I'm always will be grateful to her" [Ayaka]
"Good for you" [Kara]
"We can empathize with you since we are in the same boat" [Mara]
"You three are fast becoming friends" [Diana]
"Considering our ages and what we've been through, don't you think it's only natural" [Kara]
Here I am, along with Kara, Mara, and Ayaka, the four of us talking our hearts out. While Ayaka's other attandee doesn't want her to mingle much with others, since it's her father's order, Empress Elizabeth once again just stares at them, making them unable to say a single word. I'm sure they will report this matter to the emperor of the southern island, but for now let's make sure Ayaka is happy.
Dana and Valerie don't want to go to the conference on the third day. Instead, I will go alone (together with Sister Khamisah and Brothers Nar and Sas as well as The Head Maid, of course). Empress Elizabeth simply asked Auntie Amleth to let me in, and she did, since the topic of the last day of the conference is
"Special forces to defeat the demon lord. That's tough. Every country will basically boast that they should be the one to lead" [Ling].
"Of course, Xianxia should be the one to lead."
Even before the conference begins, opinions are already being thrown out left and right. While they are in agreement (or at least beginning to agree on the step to be taken), surprisingly, this is becoming a hot topic. Which countries will be the ones to lead the others to confront the Devil King?
"The Magic Motion Orb is ready" [Einstein].
"Well then, shall we begin today's topic?" [Amleth]
"Shouldn't it just be me, though... Not that I want to... What a pain that would be" [Merlin].
Master Merlin's opening statement makes others stare at her. The truth is, she's the best one to lead us all. After all, she's the one, along with Aru, Saintess Maria, and Fairy Queen Titania, who defeated the Devil King back then, so it should go without saying that she's the most qualified for the role, but you can see the laziness in her eyes. She takes the threat seriously, but I can tell she doesn't want to lead the special forces, if there are any.
"Giant, like I said, will be under either Goddess Favorite Daughter or Blessed Child Diana" [Elder Giant].
"And we from the Church will be happy to lead you. We will also be working together with the Vars family" [Saintess Rumia].
"Nice. Nar, you should just take charge" [Merlin].
All eyes are now on Brother Nar. Of course, the hero of Amleth will be the most suitable one, but as I expected, there are voices that disagree with him.
"Mr. Ling, say something"
"Something" [Ling]
"WHY YOU!"
"Hahaha, sorry. Please don't cut my allowance, although in truth, I am staying neutral in this matter" [Ling]
"Care to explain?" [Farhana]
"Simple, it will be about eight more years. Yes, we should appoint one from the beginning to make things easier in the future, but, things wouldn't always go as we want" [Ling].
"I also feel the same way as what Mr. Ling said. Although it will be an honor to lead, it's still too early to say. Someone stronger or better will surely come along, and if not, I'll gladly take the mantle" [Nar].
That's surprising, but I can also see that's exactly what Nar Will said. He's strong and humble at the same time, so it's only natural for him to react this way.
"What if we let Valdrid from Gastrium take over?"
"Him? Please don't joke. Is he the one who told you to say that?" [Merlin]
"Why no, I just feel that with his strength he should be the better choice. I'm sure you all know what happened in Gastrium recently and how he managed to help us through it, unlike the Church who came and wreaked havoc."
"Saintess Rumia will never do that!" [Diana]
"Diana, it's okay. No need to do that" [Saintess Rumia].
"But!" [Diana]
"It's fine. After all, we are here to discuss things, not to stir up conflict" [Saintess Rumia].
Since Saintess Rumia said so, I guess I should just shut up.
"Dear Saintess Rumia, did the goddess say anything to you?" [Farhah]
"So far she hasn't" [Saintess Rumia].
"Well then... I'm with my granddaughter. I'll be under her, if I'm still alive" [Farhah].
"Mother!?" [Farhana]
"Of course, this is just my personal opinion. The elven kingdom will no doubt have a different opinion, but I'll go through with it anyway" [Farhah].
"Thank you Grandma Farhah!" [Diana]
(Grandma?) [Lionel]
(Isn't she a human from Aru Village? What is her relationship to the World Tree Priestess?) [Rhineheart]
"Well, we from Emas would like to send our own Chief Knight Rentap, but I will discuss it further with them" [Princess Siti].
(So far, two special forces can be seen. Under Vars family as well as the church) [Tiara].
"Again, what can she do?"
"Obviously more than you" [Diana].
"That's a sick burn, can't help you there" [Ling]
"Hey!"
As the discussion continues, different opinions are thrown around. Auntie Amleth and Myle do their job to facilitate all sides. The Adventure Guild remains neutral. Kingdom of Heaven under Empress Elizabeth simply says she will lead her own force. The southern island doesn't even have an opinion, as they are currently divided. All in all, I'm sure today's conference is one that won't achieve its goals, unlike the previous two days.
"Is it time for sweets? Today certainly isn't as fruitful as the last two days" [Ling].
"I feel you" [Merlin]
(These two are surprisingly on the same wavelength) [Amleth]
(They're one who are happy go lucky and scheming behind your back at the same time, aren't they...) [Myle]
"And that's why I'm always will be grateful to her" [Ayaka]
"Good for you" [Kara]
"We can empathize with you since we are in the same boat" [Mara]
