It is a place where only some people are allowed to enter, where only some know.
Many people don't care, but telephone conversations always involve the risk of eavesdropping. Therefore, the nervous ones go out of their way to gather.
It is the great man and his men, whom only some know, who gather there. At least those who have more power than the politicians who are Caseyamako.
They had no doubt that their conversation was being listened to. There is one traitor among them, without even knowing that they are all having a conversation with someone of equal power with the great man on the spot.
"The wind has changed the direction of Star Charcoal Stream Witchcraft's retreat from spiritual defense."
"You mean any good news?
"Yeah. According to an informant inside the star coal, everyone under the star coal gate found out the sincerity of spiritual defense. But knowing the truth, I broke into two voices: the voice that we should serve the kingdom and the voice that we should disobey."
"Well... that's certainly good news"
"At present, in paranormal terms, our country has so many projects that it also wants to hunt cat hands. That's where you can get out to Kijima and even star coal..."
"Kijima would not have been very helpful."
"What about a new paranormal institution led by the White Fox family?
"They say it's still in the training phase, and we need to look at it in the long run"
"Both white foxes and decaying ropes claim to tolerate the departure of star charcoal, so it's a real headache. I can't ignore those two houses that are paranormal bi-perfections with us."
"But if the story is true, I won't even give up star coal"
"I hope I can collect just half of it. But the current owner of the star charcoal will forgive you."
"No, that's why the Defense Mandate Maintainers will fight the star coal brightness of the current Lord, sitting on his throne."
"I mean... if he wins, it's the original sheath"
"Will it... I don't know how the opposition in the star coal will come out."
"If only a maintainer sorcerer could take the lead. If, at that time, the present Lord triumphed over the dispute..."
A great man laughs. His men take a breath.
He is a man who thinks nothing of people's lives. Besides, such a man manages the country from behind as one of the real rulers of this country.
They are neglected by other rulers of the same quality, but they do not show a bare gesture that they care about at all. Because I believe and don't doubt that I have the right to do all that, and I believe and don't doubt that I deserve all that.
And blind faith in my worth - I never thought that a foolish thought would reduce my life expectancy, etc.
The main house of the Decaying Rope clan, which has been visited mostly recently. Today's guests were the White Fox String Spiral, the head of the White Fox family, a landlord seen as equal to decaying rope.
"Looks like the great guys are up to something. I asked Junko to guard Shining, but on the contrary, he's already making Phantoms to kill Shining..."
Sitting on the edge against the garden, stroking a tea tiger patterned cat on his lap, a string screw to say in a sigh.
"It's bad to rely on that, huh? And you're a great man, but you're one of them."
Masahi Decaying, sitting next to that string screw, said as he looked at the blue sky with a blurred face as he moved his legs together and plainly.
"While acknowledging Shining's departure, the spiritual defense is left to them as always, so that our plan can be ruined. If the star coal quit serving the country, it is quite invasive, and in terms of avoiding spiritual defense weakening, it will be easier to create a form that does not rely on the magician in the future."
"Honestly, I don't even think the plan's gonna work."
"Make it work"
To a negative sum of positives, the string screws point the lips.
"Don't star charcoal basically change anything,"
"Looks like the state is going to turn it into a request for a job from a freelance witchcraft genre, not a mission to a witchcraft who belongs to the state? So I'll give you the money, and it's still very much the same, and it seems like star coal can decide whether to fight on its own volition or not?
"That's a good trick, too."
"I seem to feel comfortable at last. Sounds like a big difference. But if the great guys stick around as extras, they might not even take a job request because they're disgusted with the country."
That is why both white foxes and decaying ropes had a cooperative attitude towards Shining. With the nuance of selling grace so that the fairly strong established battle power of star coal can leave the national defense and continue to ask for the same job to take on.
Of course there are other prospects. As the top of decaying ropes and white foxes, I don't want to leave it in the shape of leaving defense to the magicians alone forever. I understand that's a distortion. Like String Spiral said, I want this matter to be stock, and I want this matter to be derisive, and I want the country to put its back on the ground as an unpublishable national policy of darkness.
"Now it's time for Junko to work. You're listening, aren't you? Junko."
String screw to take out your fingertip phone.
"I didn't know Junko was listening to this story, but don't sneak around and tell me first,"
"It's about the right sum, so they were going to disagree"
"You don't disagree, do you? I guess there's something I want you to know. But I don't feel comfortable being snuck up on you, do I?"
"I'm sorry."
With a smile that doesn't look too bad, String Spiral apologizes. Nor does it seem as grumpy as to say the right sum.
"The new Paranormal Engine is in the shape of using the power of Junko,"
"Seems like we've had a lot of hard work over here to get Junko to help us. I don't want to fail like a mustard engine any more."
While I was aware of Junko listening to the conversation over the phone, String Spiral said.
Living room at the Snow Oka Institute. The usual four people, Junko, True, Tired, and Midori, were listening to the conversation between string screws and Masami, via string screws.
"Finally, the great man of the country is going to assassinate Shining."
Tired opens his mouth when the phone hangs up.
"So one of your greats is trying to do it arbitrarily. Even String Spiral is one of the great men who rules the country from the shadows. Hey. Seems like a lot of trouble because the greatest people aren't alone, and String Spiral and you never seem to get along."
and Junko.
"Did you also predict that Shining would be targeted from the national side?
I doubt the truth. Shining doesn't have much of a loophole, but I don't think he thinks it's a boulder, such as a harsh disposition from a country that has no benevolence or flatulence so far.
"I don't know. If I'm in your shoes, of course I'll read that much."
"Pure sister is all enemies except herself - you assume. Including her friends."
"Uh, that's not true. True, you turn to enemies once in a while, but I still believe you."
From Midori, I smile and give it back.
"Don't let Hideaki know."
"Why?"
While I think it would suck if I didn't let you know, I'm also guessing that True has an idea for Junko.
"Maybe if there's an assassin coming, I think it's after the battle with Yoshiji. Hideaki, aim for the timing of your win. That would be really effective. It's just a sanction and a show that star charcoal sorcerers shouldn't defy the country."
"Abuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, you're going to buy extra objections, aren't you?
When I heard about Junko, I thought it was an idiotic plot of a full villain, and for some reason that was weird and laughing Midori.
"Some of it. But my reading is that if you kill Huiming there, the people who were away from spiritual defense are likely to fall in the direction of reluctance to obey without fear. You don't have to say it all."
"Ideally, you shouldn't know anything about the fact that you were targeted in the form of being shot in the back from the side of the country, either, right? From a brilliant standpoint."
That's what I'm talking about.
Tired said, Junko nodded.
"Plus, because I won't let you use the extra nerve, I mean, I shouldn't even tell you, Hideaki."
That's all they said, and the truth is, I knew what Junko was after.
"So you're gonna sneak us out to kill the assassin?"
"I'd prefer the direction of catching him alive and letting him throw up his client's name, if possible. Let's pre-hold the sniper point and check it out. Surgical assassinations from the outside are difficult in star coal mansions protected by powerful spiritual protection. If you were to assassinate someone in surgery, you'd sneak into the Star-Charcoal family's property, but that would be difficult, and with erasure, I think it would be a sniper."
Three people, true, miserable and tired, wonder if they want an experimental platform at last.
"Earlier conversations between White Fox String Spiral and Decaying Rope Masakazu - even if they don't like Hideaki, they're going to continue to use star coal for spiritual defense and doings."
"String screws are oh I can see them. I'm a benevolently thick man. In the form of mandatory assignments in national service and taking orders in the form of jobs, even if the job description is the same, string screws are right, and it feels completely different."
The truth was that I felt uncomfortable, but I don't think I have that feeling because I am tired of knowing string screws directly. Whether it feels lighter.
"Heh heh, it's true... even if you do the same job, it's not the same thing being within one organizational framework or out of bounds at all. The advantages and disadvantages are different from each other."
Midori said. Midori, who once ran a religious group, had brought his friends inside a religious establishment to his escort, but he recognizes that those three were like letting him help with the organization's work while staying exactly outside the organization.
"I don't feel grateful for the white fox because of his brilliant personality, but he seems to like it."
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I mean, Hideaki, you don't do such indecent things because you're a child."
Junko laughs at true words and denies them. Truly, I was convinced that Junko would never get close to me in such an insolent way.
