682 – Atomic Bomb (4)
Lina’s limit has been lifted. At least in front of me, she began to openly reveal her own taste.
There are only three people who know about her sexual orientation: me, Marie, and Cecily. Others don’t know yet.
In the first place, Lina was so busy with the Empire that she had little way to get along with other people.
At least she was able to get along with Cecily at the academy, but she is no different.
“How are you going to reveal it to others? Can you reveal it confidently?”
“Don’t you guys share your taste? Last time I saw you did it in groups of 2 or 3.”
“I have nothing to say.”
I was able to skip the answer that left me speechless. Still, it doesn’t change what we need to build friendships with.
Other people tend to get along well and know each other’s faces. Should I say it’s a bond?
It’s a bit late, but I thought that if I worked hard enough, Lina would be able to melt into it well.
She is Rina who is rational in everything, but as long as she reveals her hobbies, there are no barriers. She plays while doing tiki-taka as usual and that’s it.
“As expected, a lot of people gathered.”
As she chatted and played, Arwen also came to visit. Unlike Cecily, who came to her randomly, she, like Lina, came after contacting him in advance.
Arwen said, unlike Lina, she didn’t have to take her to her living room, so she just had to talk to her on the spot.
“Why did you come? Do you want to see me?”
“There is such a thing, but it could be a little serious. Do you know why Mora-sama was away?”
“Huh?”
This is an unexpected question. I thought she was here to talk about the atomic bomb, but it isn’t.
Mora is having an unfinished conversation with Cecily. She thinks it’s better to hide this for now.
“Why Mora?”
“It’s nothing but a call from the Dark Elves. Mora-sama won’t give you an oracle. I prayed steadily, but only the divine power was delivered, and they urgently contacted me saying nothing.”
I think I know roughly what’s going on. She is a goddess worshiped not only by Helium’s demons but also by the Dark Elves.
Even after the expulsion from Albenheim, she still believes in Mora, and since she is an elf, she has no choice but to be a bit closer than the demons.
So, she must have noticed more quickly than anyone else that Mora was absent. It’s clear that she hasn’t said much about Helium yet.
“Um… I’ll show you reality rather than words. Can you follow me for a second?”
“It seems certain that something is going on. I hope it’s nothing special.”
It’s not a big deal. There is only one surplus god sitting in my mansion.
I took a worried Arwen and took her to Mora’s room. And what happened to her.
“Can you tell them what they want? You can listen to them when you go back later.”
“··· ···”
“What you are seeing is Mora. So don’t get too confused.”
She was as shocked and terrified as Cecily. She was confused to the point of being comparable to him, though she hadn’t been playing a practical joke.
Of course, elves are angels who once assisted the gods. Whether it’s instinct or whatever, they have a deeper bond with God than any other race.
I silently patted Arwen’s shoulder at Arwen’s silver-grey eyes, which were trembling like an earthquake.
“You should be able to explain it well enough. Didn’t Mora completely disappear?”
“······I don’t know anymore.”
Looks like a half-given face. However, as I said, Mora is not extinct, so there is no need to worry too much.
Moreover, it’s been a year. If it takes about a year or so, it will return to its original dimension.
For an elf with a lifespan of hundreds of years, a year will pass in an instant, so there is a high possibility that it will turn into a mere happening.
In this way, after introducing Mora to Arwen, he returned to his original form. Just in time, Cecily’s conversation with Mora had ended.
“Dark elves coming to Helium?”
“It’s not confirmed yet. The old generation wants to return to Albenheim, and the new generation wants to be naturalized to Helium, who believe in the same religion.”
“This is an unexpected part. Hmm…”
The news that Arwen delivered had a big impact. Of course, the Dark Elves, who thought they would return to Albenheim, want to be naturalized in Helium.
It’s understandable enough that religion has that kind of power. Religion that transcends borders and forms a community.
It’s like India and Pakistan on Earth. The two countries were originally one, but were divided into two because of religion.
Bangladesh, which was once a territory of India, became independent because of different religions. It is something that is never easy to see.
“It’s good to be careful. If a civil war breaks out, you’ll be crossing an irreversible river. Dark elves, like the dark elves, will leave great scars.”
“What choice will the Queen make?”
“It’s not something I’m involved in. It’s complicated. I’ll leave it to their choice.”
I don’t know how large the population of dark elves is, but it’s probably very small due to the low birth rate and tribal life unique to long-lived species.
However, if the entire population comes in as refugees, there is a high probability that various incidents will occur. This is a situation that can often be seen on Earth.
The fortunate thing is that there is a formation group that can empathize. There is a community that says Helium is a religion, and Albenheim is the hometown of the heart.
No matter what the outcome is, Cecily and Arwen’s head hurts. He’s not even a human, he’s a dark elf.
“First of all, it’s not urgent, so it’s better to move on. Isn’t the queen here to relieve her stress?”
“That’s right.”
Then two women staring at me. I am full of desire, perhaps because I have accumulated a lot in the meantime.
I would have been afraid in the past. But not now. After getting a healthy body, I feel relaxed.
On the contrary, they are trying to defeat me somehow. I just smile softly.
“Hello! I’m bored. Can I play?”
“Of course. But is the academy on vacation?”
“Vacation is vacation, but it’s time to graduate soon. I just need to get a diploma.”
Lastly, as Leona came to the mansion, all the lovers gathered. It’s been a long time since we got together like this.
Kate and Cherry didn’t come. Both of you have something to do or something.
Anyway, we gathered together, played various games, and had fun while watching soccer in the manor.
Of course, it’s not that serious stories didn’t come and go. Since they were people who held important positions in their countries, diplomatic conversations also came and went.
“We must stop as much as possible from the devil worshipers inventing the atomic bomb. I heard that they are doing research in Albenheim, didn’t they?”
“It is under research, but it will take a long time to prove it. However, even if it is not an atomic bomb, ‘combination’ can produce similar power.”
“Isn’t it possible for elves to combine?”
“If you know the principle, there is nothing you cannot do.”
From noble mtl dot com
The most important thing is about the atomic bomb. Later, we plan to formally gather representatives from each country to hold a meeting.
Thus, this meeting is only a taster. Still, everyone thought the same.
Although the invention of the atomic bomb is doomed to be inevitable, its fall into the hands of devil worshipers must be avoided.
It is known right now that the fusion of elves produces similar power, so we plan to thoroughly block that principle as well.
I was one step away from state affairs, so I only listened. Still, it wasn’t boring, but I didn’t get out of the seat.
“By the way Isaac.”
“Huh?”
“Your world has hundreds, if not thousands, of atomic bombs. Did you tell anyone else about that?”
Cecily asked me if something came to mind then. At that question, the atmosphere instantly became quiet.
I’m a little embarrassed as the lively atmosphere just now has subsided. Because of this, I missed the timing to reply.
“Not just one or two of these weapons, but thousands? What does that mean?”
“Why are there thousands of weapons that would not be enough even if sealed right now…”
“It really is a world that has gone crazy with firepower. What did you think it was made for…”
Everyone seems confused except for Lina, who already knows the truth. Instead, I wasn’t embarrassed or anything like that.
Lina and Cecily were similar, but it wouldn’t be any different if they were different people. It wasn’t a big deal because I was planning to reveal it sooner or later anyway.
“Yes. But ironically, they also play a role in deterring war between the great powers. Once they fight properly, they end each other.”
“I think it would be better to explode it coolly? It’s more scary to explode after holding back.”
This is Leona’s opinion. She’s always thinking, but she’s really good at getting to the point.
Even during the Cold War, there was only anxiety about a nuclear war, but it did not actually break out.
But nothing is permanent in this world, neither is peace. The moment an armed conflict breaks out between the great powers, they have to face the threat of nuclear war again.
What if one of the great powers fires nuclear weapons like you and I die? If that happens, civilization will return to the Stone Age.
“You don’t know that again. The future is known to no one but God, right?”
Lina told me not to worry, but I put on a mysterious expression.
Because I came over here right away, the future of the earth has been twisted into a mess. Even the gods do not know the future.
I don’t know what happened now, but I do know that World War III will happen. I don’t know if there will be a nuclear war in the process.
“But I came over here before the nuclear war broke out. I tend to live in a peaceful era.”
“Even though the times were peaceful, your country wasn’t peaceful. Being a divided country and being drafted into the army.”
“Hasn’t North Korea ever had nuclear weapons?”
After Cecily, Marie raised a sharp question. I rolled my eyes at the question.
But that reaction alone seems to have convinced me. Some of them were washing their faces dry, and some of them made faces of pity.
Even Lina was looking at me with her eyes wide open. Come to think of it, I didn’t even tell him that North Korea is a nuclear power.
“As I said before… North Korea is only focusing on maintaining the status quo. There is absolutely no reason to go to war in the first place. The international community is also criticizing North Korea.”
“If there was a war, they would destroy each other regardless of that. And you would have become a soldier unconditionally. Didn’t you?”
“That’s right…”
I don’t know if there is anything more to say here. Because on a fictitious day, the Republic of Korea was a country that remained calm even when North Korea fired missiles.
Of course, this is only for civilians. Furthermore, if it is an armed provocation, we have to prepare for war.
“I always think about it, but I don’t know if the world Isaac lived in is normal. Even small countries have weapons that will wipe out some cities.”
“Isn’t this showing the end of human civilization? It’s not that God is destroying mankind, it’s that mankind is destroying their own civilization.”
“It makes sense. It could be a catastrophe caused by overeager, or it could really be destiny.”
My lovers began to seriously discuss the world I lived in, the asymmetry of the Earth. I just sat still and listened.
Come to think of it, I am reminded of what Einstein said. I don’t know what weapons will be used in World War 3, but I know what weapons will be used in World War 4.
The weapons are sticks and stones. It is a quote that shows the world destroyed by World War III in a fragmentary way.
In fact, the possibility is very high that it is also a word that can never be overlooked.
“If you’re like me, I don’t think you’ll be able to live because of anxiety. How can you be calm?”
“It’s not just Isaac, but the people in general are like that. That’s why there’s nothing good about it…”
“The long peace may have been poison.”
It’s not a different country, it’s a different dimension, but they worry too much about security. There is no need to tell this story now.
So I stepped in and cut it off, and the women were able to return to the main topic only then.
However, it is impossible to have a conversation on only one topic. I don’t know if that’s why, but I changed to another topic.
“Think that we can rule for 100 years and pass it on to our descendants. If our influence grows too thick, that will be difficult.”
“I think that’s too short. If the world changes rapidly in the future, various conflicts will arise. Only then can we intervene.”
“If that happens, even greater dissatisfaction may accumulate. A deceased person will rot, and the same goes for peace. It is not an easy matter to think about.”
It is the issue of sovereignty. Cecily and Arwen are both going to have children of my own.
But apart from children, governance also needs to be thought through.
If the two rule, the world will be peaceful for a while, but when you step down from the throne, you don’t know what will happen.
If it’s eccentric, it may be a bizarre topic, but it’s serious. Above all, these two have a long life span, so you must plan it.
“······I thought it was funny, but it wasn’t.”
In a situation where serious opinions were coming and going, Lina gave a comment with a shy expression. Even if it looks a little funny, there is enough room to dig deep.
The situation changes up and down depending on who is the king of a country, but it is Helium and Albenheim. Can never be overlooked
“Why don’t you make a plan too?”
I asked Rina in a half-joking manner. She’s human, so you don’t have to take her as seriously as Cecil or Arwen.
Because it only needs to be handed down to descendants when they reach an appropriate age. One of the advantages of a short lifespan is rapid generation replacement.
But Lina smiled at my question and she answered with a confident voice.
“Don’t worry about that. I have a plan.”
Lina she answered confidently. After admiring that figure for a while, Marie noticed something and rushed in.
“Did you make any plans before you came here? Assuming you’re going to have Isaac’s child?”
“··· ···”
Lina stopped her actions as if Marie had hit her head. Then her face started to get hotter.
Marie smiled at Lina’s reaction and said in a voice that she was cute.
“You’re just overflowing with greed? No way. You’ll have to catch it last.”
“Can you forgive me just once?”
“Look what you’re doing.”
Seeing how well she took the lead, I don’t think Lina will ever beat her Marie.
‘From the outside, it looks like the princess took her servant’s husband…’
I don’t think such public opinion will ever appear.
******
Around the time a brief international conference was held at Isaac’s mansion.
A very small incident was occurring in the Holy See of Savior Church.
“You seem to be writing interesting articles. Roman.”
“··· ···”
“How dare you write down the fall of the gods, it’s so funny.”
Roman, the son of the pope and the author of The Knight of Destruction.
My identity was discovered by the person (Kate) who should not be caught the most.
