It's a gathering of the six countries. Seven to be exact, since Amleth will be the host. To connect Amleth with the Elven Kingdom, we have to go through five different countries, avoiding the Empire, because the Empire isn't interested in this project. 

They're all bigger than Amleth, but even if I don't know the art of military, I can tell that they're weaker than Amleth as a whole. During the war, they needed Amleth's help to thaw the Empire. Of course, it's mutual aid, as they don't want to be part of the Empire themselves, but it's largely thanks to Brother Nar and Sas that the victory was achieved.

The date will be a month from now, with the last to arrive should be the delegation from the Elven Kingdom itself, and that should mean

"Grandma Farhah will definitely be there! Hurray! Hurray! I can't wait! I can't wait to see her! I want to hug her! Ohh! I can smell her now, the pleasant smell of her with The World Tree! Her warm embrace! I can't wait any longer! Is there a spell to jump forward in time? Aunt Amleth, do you know such a spell?" [Diana]

"You're overly excited, but there isn't one. Even Maleficent can't do that." [Amleth]

"True. Even if my little Maleficent Blessing and Amleth's Maleficent Blessing are combined, I don't think we can create a spell of that caliber" [Ophelia]

"Boo... I guess I have to wait another long, long month to actually meet Grandma Farhah..." [Diana]

That's basically torture in itself, but I can wait. If it means playing and sleeping with her, it's definitely worth the wait.

"A month is more than enough to compile a full report on this project. Besides, we can now have more data to make this project better" [Akela].

"Even the researchers are working harder now that this project has finally been realized. They are even starting to make improvements here and there" [Eisheth].

With seamless communication between the two countries, researchers are able to identify key issues with the project. Of course, problems like the weather, especially severe thunderstorms, will definitely disrupt communications, but there's actually more that have just been discovered.

Sometimes they overheard conversations that weren't intended. This happens because too many people are using the Magic Motion Orb at the same time. There are even times when it's not nearly as instantaneous as it should be. Now, a reduction from at least a full day to 15 minutes should be considered a success in itself, especially since it's a communication between two countries, but some ministers and those with short tempers wanted instantaneous communication. They demanded that it shouldn't take so long for a project that consumed large amounts of resources from both countries to dabble in this minor issue.

There is also the question of price. It's true that it's still in the early stages, so the price of this thing will be expensive, so only a handful of nobles, knights, and merchants are able to buy them, but even among them, especially those who wanted each of their family members to get one, say it's still expensive. I don't think I can be of any use there. True, I was involved along with Nar, Sas, and Master Merlin, but further improvements to the Magic Motion Orb are Einstein's area of expertise. He has been making more and more improvements and sharing them with us, but to make the price cheaper, it might take a while.

And then there's the issue of stealing the installed core. There have been ten reported cases of someone trying to steal the core. Whether it's just a civilian or a group of thieves, luckily they all fail, but it makes the job of the guards and knights patrolling more and more difficult. Those thieves were lucky I didn't put up a more dangerous barrier.

And then there's this one problem caused by none other than Master Merlin herself

"And the requests for volunteers are piling up now. Well, I reap what I sow, but it tickles my heart how they went from being absolutely allergic to suddenly becoming overly enthusiastic about volunteering" [Merlin].

"The thought of getting a free magic motion orb is irresistible" [Eisheth].

"I guess they're jealous of the students and volunteers who were able to get one. This will also cause more and more people to save up money and buy a Magic Motion Orb in the near future, so I guess this is working out just fine" [Akela].

"Shall we add more volunteers or should we continue with our current volunteer?" [Khamisah]

"To be honest, I'm fine with our current force, unfortunately, realistically speaking, we should add more, but..." [Merlin]

"I understand your concern. I will see what can be done." [Amleth]

"It doesn't have to be a magic motion orb, does it?" [Diana]

"At this point, if we don't give them that, they will definitely be unhappy" [Merlin]

I can definitely see that. 

"May I come in?" [Nar]

"Yes, you may" [Amleth].

A knock on the door, and as soon as Nar received permission to enter.

"There you are! I thought I told you not to walk around!" [Nar]

"Well, I am sitting here with all of them, how is that walking around?" [Diana]

"They're having an important meeting and you just barge in as usual!" [Nar]

"They didn't say anything, so I guess they're okay with it. I just asked them if Grandma Farhah will come to Amleth first, before they just continued their discussion! How is that my fault?" [Diana].

And to punish my perfectly constructed arguments that he couldn't win, he just pinched me very hard and asked me not to barge in ever again! I don't see how this is my fault! If they don't want to discuss it in my presence, Aunt Amleth and the other will ask me to leave, and I will definitely do so! I definitely don't see how this is my fault!
