< at the was quite astonishing to those in attendance.
They were even more shocked to hear that the in the Kingdom of Cerroa had been contaminated by heavy metals, and that this was not only being done by the of the time, but also by the Laurentians.
"mmmm ......"
"............"
Waiting for the groans to subside, Arnold continued.
"The fact that the distribution of contamination concentrations is almost concentric means that the contaminants were not spread over a large area, but concentrated in certain places."
"That is certainly true."
"So it's easy to imagine that the center of the area would have been the scene of a fierce battle."
"Mm."
We don't know yet if it was a small area or if it was more or less extensive. We'll have to wait and see.
I see.
At this point Delfina took over the explanation.
"But I suspect that the troops may have exchanged such with each other.
"Oh."
"The poisoning must have been terrible, and those who survived the battle must have suffered from acute intoxication."
"Ummm ......"
In this way, Arnold and Delfina explained.

When they had finished what they had to say, the chairperson, Zion, made a closing declaration.
Thank you very much for your explanation, Mr. Arnold and Ms. Delfina. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any questions?
"Yes."
Yes. - Now, Prince George...
Prince George of the Kingdom of Klein raised his hand and Zion permitted him to speak.
"Yes, Your Highness. ...... Sir Arnold, in your explanation of the current contamination situation, you mentioned a , what exactly is it? Of course, you can guess. It seems much more plausible than our guess, so we would like to hear it.
"Okay. ......<> is an area where there are few, if any, contaminants to be found. This is not a natural phenomenon, but rather some kind of anthropogenic influence.
What do you think about this anthropogenic influence?
"I have heard that the deus ex machina is currently under investigation, so I do not want to make any hasty judgments.
Hearing this statement, there were murmurs of "Oh," and "Lord Machina is..." among those in attendance.
"I understand. Thank you very much.
Does anyone have any other questions?
Yes, I do.
"Yes." "Now, Abel Rossi."
Now Mr. Abel Rossi, Director of the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of the Kingdom of Franz asks a question.
"At that time, was there a concept of heavy metal contamination or poisoning?"
"Yes, there was no such thing ....... Therefore, it is unnatural that both sides used it as a weapon at almost the same time. After all, it was because they were seduced by a negative doll.
"I understand."
Several other questions were raised.
"What was the true identity of the <>?"
"It was a kind of automaton created by a mysterious being."

"What do you know about this <>?"
"It is a <> and therefore a <>. I suspect it is an advanced civilized indigenous people."
