The heads of state cannot afford to be absent from their respective countries.
We will now discuss the <>.
The chairwoman, the emperor, declared, and the meeting began.
"Is it correct to say that at the beginning, Lady Machina will be the advisor and guide us all?
The basic premise of the meeting is that we have to start by building up the organization.
"I am sure you can guide us, but I think it would be better to start with the training of the executives first."
Makina answered. This is what I have decided after discussing it with the old man.
First of all, we need to improve the leadership, and then increase the number of people who are actually engaged in the actual work.
"I would like to invite two participants from each country for the first cohort. They will work as officers of the <> in the future.
"I see. ......"
Makina's proposal seemed to have gained some traction among the heads of state.
"So, the will work for the on a semi-permanent basis?
"Yes, that would be correct. At the very least, they will be with us for several years.
There will be classified matters, and confidentiality will have to be determined.
We have airships to travel to and from the home country, and once the warp gate is put to practical use, the problem of returning home will be solved.
"The leaders of the <> are all graduates of the company, aren't they?"
A hundred opinions were exchanged, and they were generally constructive.
In the end, it was decided that two cadets from each country would join the World Guard. The duration of the program was one year.
During this period, they will be under the guidance of a deus ex machina.
Detailed regulations will be drafted in due course and formalized during the next year.
Since this is the first attempt of its kind in the world, it was not possible to make detailed regulations from the beginning.
Thus ended the morning session of the third day of the World Congress.

"Oh, it's quite delicious, isn't it?
"Sipping is quite difficult.
"I'm told it's okay to make noise, but if I'm not used to it, I feel it's not very elegant. ......
Noodles were served for lunch that day.
Soba, udon, pasta, and ramen.
After much effort by Perid and his team, the ramen dish was finally completed.
Soba and udon noodles are available in two different sizes: mori (colander) and kakge (rice bowl), which you can choose as you like.
The ramen is also available in half-size portions so that customers can compare different kinds of food.
"Mmm, the flavor of this soba is indescribable.
Wasabi, was it? Wasabi, wasabi, wasabi, wasabi, wasabi, wasabi, wasabi, wasabi, wasabi, wasabi, wasabi, wasabi. But it's a refreshing taste that doesn't linger in the mouth.
"Hot udon with tempura is also good.
"No, no, I've never had this ramen before, but I think I'm going to be addicted to it."
"I like this <>!"
"Ummm, will I be able to eat this kind of food every day when I work for the World Guard?
They seemed to like it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are only half a day left of the World Congress. Let us make the most of the time we have left.
The afternoon session of the third day of the conference began with the words of Her Majesty the Emperor.
It was Prince Arthur of the Kingdom of Klein who said, "I have a proposal on the agenda.
"I think it would be a good idea to discuss the future of the former Kingdom of Leonard.
Many people agreed with this statement.
"I see. ...... It's true, it's in a state of neglect right now.
"It would be a global loss to leave that place with so many ruins and mines.
I have no objection to discussing it.
Then I would like to discuss the future of the old Leonard Kingdom.
First, is there any royalty or blood left in the kingdom?
No, more importantly, does anyone know why it was destroyed?
Makina answered the second question.
"Yes. I will take this opportunity to answer your question.
"Please, woman, come in."
Thank you very much. ...... Uh, last year, didn't Fritz and Gloria explore the former Leonard Kingdom?
It was January, 3458.
A powerful demon named <> was born as a result of the disposal of a mysterious liquid in a > found in the ruins.
It was Makina and Rei who fought it off.
"After that, I did some research on my own. During that time, we discovered ruins in the old royal capital, and according to these ruins, it seems that the country was destroyed by about 230 years ago.
The actual time of the research was almost half a year before Fritz and Gloria's visit.
"Oh my God! An epidemic? And what is < ......?"
Lotharus de Lafayette, King of Franz, sighed.
"......That's why I don't think there are any survivors."
Milowina has made it clear that she does not intend to rebuild the country, and there is no proof that the inhabitants of the village of Caina may be of the blood of the former Leonard's subjects.
"I have been looking for an opportunity to make an announcement, and it has been difficult for me to say so. I apologize for that."
Makina bows her head. And then..,
"I can tell you where the remains are, if you wish.
She added, "I can tell you where those ruins are, if you wish.
Lying beneath the ruins was a mere <. It was a magical brain created to tell the future generations what had happened, and it knew nothing about technical matters.
"...... Hmmm, I didn't know that was the case."
They all ponder for a moment.
"Well, then, it's a land that belongs to no one.
King Alois III of the Kingdom of Klein muttered.
"Yes. In fact, such lands are more difficult to deal with. It could be a source of conflict, so we should be very careful.
Cesar, King of the Kingdom of Celuloa, said, "Yes.
"Yes, that's right. There will always be territorial disputes. The more you think about your country, the more you think about it.
King Alois III of the Kingdom of Klein agreed.
"Free lands, in this case, favor the country closest to us."
Minister of General Affairs Marjas Crudum of the Kingdom of Shoro, the farthest kingdom from the former Leonard Kingdom, said this.
"There is a way to divide and conquer, but the distant countries will be at a disadvantage.
"We could start a country that is not the Kingdom of Leonard ......."
"Even in that case, there is the problem of who will rule the country.
"The inhabitants would have to be recruited from each country, but if the number of inhabitants differs from country to country, that could be a problem.
Indeed, the participants felt the same way, that this issue is a difficult one.
Although Jin was basically just observing the meeting, he was reminded that this is not a problem that can be solved overnight.
