214 – It’s precious.
The next day.
How did the Faculty of Magic, led by Flann, negotiate? Facts related to him spread faster than anything else.
As a result, the garden of the imperial palace was noisy again today.
Shatta poked the side of the tax collector’s secretary.
“You mean Plan has already concluded negotiations?”
“Yes.”
“What about the other representatives of the Faculty of Magic? I don’t think I came this far just to look around…. Are you sure you are participating?”
“We participate equally. “We negotiated the same as the plan.”
“Wow, you actually participated. So that means you’ll be fighting against a knight of the capital. “I don’t understand.”
People who know how high the status of the capital knights is. They couldn’t help but be interested in this fact.
A capital knight who always held a high position like a celestial body. And the Faculty of Magic is rapidly rising from underground.
The confrontation between the two forces was a structure that could not help but be interesting to anyone watching. No matter what each other thinks of the other, they must clash with all their might to determine the outcome.
How loud will the sound of that collision be? How big will the wavelength be? Those gathered in the garden were excited about it and were busy moving their mouths.
Shatta looked up at the tax collector’s secretary and asked.
“So, how did the negotiations end?”
“You have to guess. “What do you think happened?”
“Wouldn’t you have been rejected? Or was it chosen randomly? “I can’t possibly predict it with my head.”
“The terms were favorable to the driver.”
“Yes?”
The short Shatha jumped up and down like her frog.
“Oh really! “You’re making fun of me!”
The little boy shouted, but the tax collector’s secretary just leisurely waved the glass containing champagne.
“It’s true. Since Viola announced it, it is definitely true. “No matter what the result was, there is no doubt that the capital knights accepted Plan’s demands.”
“No, what….”
It was not strange even if I felt absurd a hundred times.
Time, place, weapon…. When deciding on a hero, none of the three factors were unimportant.
In this match, the winner is determined by a very narrow margin, and it is these three factors that affect victory or defeat. The magic department immediately gave it up, and the knight department accepted it again. I don’t understand.
But that was then.
“Why are you worrying about such an easy story?”
The old man next to me intervened.
“No matter which place and time you choose, the odds of the Magic Faculty winning are slim. So, I guess I made a concession in order to suffer less embarrassment.”
“Hmm.”
“Isn’t that right? “If the knights win under favorable conditions, the wizards will be less embarrassed if they lose.”
But the tax collector’s secretary slowly shook her head.
“That…” . “That part is also ambiguous.”
“Hey, the secretary of the tax office, is this ambiguous?”
“It is true that cards that were advantageous to the knights were chosen, but Plan emphasized it at the end. “The wizard will never be defeated.”
“… You guaranteed your own victory by giving advantageous cards to the Capital Knight? “Does that make sense?”
“What should I do about that?”
As the tax collector’s secretary gave a cursory answer, the old man who joined in blinked in bewilderment, and then his head slowly tilted to one side.
“No, let’s see, then…” .”
The old man asked with eyes that seemed truly incomprehensible.
“Doesn’t it mean that the Faculty of Magic took advantage of the power of the powerful against Flann and the capital knight Viola?”
“It’s a situation that can only be understood that way.”
“That’s ridiculous!”
The old man screamed.
“How on earth are you going to deal with the reaction you get when you lose? They are the ones who have no solution. “Egh!”
“Isn’t there a need for countermeasures?”
The voice that answered like this was Shatta’s.
The heads of the tax collector’s secretary and the old man turned to the side. Their eyes were fixed on the lips of a kid whose height was only about the same as their waist.
Shata, her partner, spoke with pure eyes.
“I just thought that they were so confident of winning that they had absolutely no plans for losing.”
The tax collector’s secretary tapped Shata on the shoulder.
“Shatta, what do you mean?”
“Ugh.”
The old man left with a sigh. The tax secretary quietly asked Shata.
“Did you do this on purpose to get that person kicked out?”
“No. “I said these words from the bottom of my heart.”
“Seriously?”
“Yes. I actually saw that plan. It was really special. There are some things that cannot be expressed in words. What should I say….”
“That’s enough.”
The secretary of the customs office waved his hand.
“Let’s just watch the game with our own eyes and check.”
Everyone in the garden, not just Shatta and the tax collector’s secretary, was aflame with talk of the negotiations.
Someone called Flan’s attitude of ignoring the capital knight rude, and someone else wondered what kind of results Flan would face.
Many opinions were mixed, but one thing was certain.
“I absolutely cannot afford to miss this game.”
“Is the spirit of the magicians soaring high broken? . Will the position of the capital knights change? . “You have to see it for yourself.”
Since everyone was talking in this way, one thing was certain that it aroused great interest.
But then.
Shatta poked the side of the tax collector’s secretary.
“By the way, which side are you rooting for?”
“What?”
“The tax collector is very interested in the Faculty of Magic. Please support us with a lot of money. My sister is the tax collector’s secretary. “I was wondering if you were supporting the magic department.”
Shata continued speaking busily.
“Noona, if you like it, can’t you go to Daesu Forest? “My sister holds the money leading to that direction.”
“Ah…. I don’t know. “Please be quiet.”
The tax collector’s secretary took a very small whipped cream cake into her mouth. A lot of whipped cream appears on the plump and attractive lips.
“The one who is good-looking and brings a lot of money. That’s on my side.”
“Wow….”
“I’m a bit of a snob by nature. “What are you complaining about?”
◈
“It’s difficult.”
Becky muttered as if she had lived her whole life.
I decided to stay alert since it was a place where I would open my eyes and cut my nose, but I actually opened my eyes and cut my nose. Even their own negotiation cards were decided by Flan.
Of course, I can’t blame Flan because he has a plan. But. Even so….
“It’s difficult. Difficult. Difficult…. “I’m going crazy.”
If you have to fight against a capital knight, and even if the capital knight has to fight in a more advantageous environment, isn’t it natural for your hard-earned composure to slip away?
In the end, Becky stood up and shouted.
“Ahh! “I’m going crazy!”

Then, the representatives who were meditating next to them opened their eyes at the same time. I look at Becky with a gaze that is not so kind.
“….”
“….”
But even after facing those gazes, Becky did not calm down. Instead, he takes another drink and shouts.
“I’m screwed!”
Becky continued, shaking his arm.
“Flan always has an idea and a plan. You’ll do well! But what should we do? No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I can beat the Capital Knight while taking on unfavorable conditions!”
Trixie said, frowning one of his eyes.
“Why are you yelling at us? “It’s annoying.”
“You can’t argue with Plan. “Please empathize with me.”
“….”
Trixie, Louise, and Maiev also nodded slightly, but did not say anything. I just sigh silently.
After a moment, Maiev opened her mouth.
“It’s no use doing this to us.”
“Why?”
“As you said, Plan….”
“Ah.”
Plan.
With just those two words, I was able to understand and understand at the same time. For them, men were already a force majeure.
Just when I was thinking about concentrating on meditation. Becky asked because something suddenly bothered her.
“But why are Maiev and Trixie like this?”
What is that? .
“Now that I think about it, it’s always like that when we both meditate. Trixie was fiddling with her gloves, and Maiev was fiddling with her teacup. “Is there a reason for that?”
Then.
“… !”
Surprisingly, Trixie and Maiev showed the same reaction. Isn’t it like hiding things behind your back out of nowhere?
Even her blushing and shouting were the same.
“It’s precious.”
“It’s precious!”
And isn’t it like meditating while touching it again?
Trixie said something.
“You should also meditate. “It’s an unavoidable game.”
“Uh huh. Uh…. Yes.”
Becky’s attitude was so firm that at that moment, she had to wonder if she had done something wrong.
Becky looked around for a moment and thought about it. He thought about what items were precious to him.
… After thinking about it for a while,
“Hmm.”
I began to meditate while holding onto the cone hat that Plan had bought me.
Exactly ten minutes later, the game begins.
