That's a wrap on the Thestania Empire Arc.

Get ready for two new chapters today!

And sorry about the terrible writing and awkward phrasing again...

Conference Room, Prime Minister's Office, Tokyo, Japan

"Um... First of all, thank you all for your hard work. There have been various developments, but we were able to conclude the war with the Thestania Empire in a short time, as initially planned. Of course, we have had zero casualties on our side."

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief. If there had been any casualties, it would have caused great anxiety among the public. More than anything, it was hard to predict what the opposition would do with that as ammunition.

"As stated in the materials provided, the main perpetrator of this war, Emperor Belmard Salou Mirgand, was eaten by wyverns after taking refuge in a stable. Following that, Marquis Rosquinho Lugar will receive appropriate punishment after being transferred back to his home country... or so it should be."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Nanbara? Is there something up?"

"This person has significant mental issues. In other words... he may not be held responsible..."

"Are you saying he might go free?"

"That seems highly likely. Well, our initial plans ultimately ended in failure anyway..."

"We captured his accomplices too, right? It's true that we have had no casualties on our side, but we can't let them get away with provoking war."

"Actually, regarding that, we received a proposal from the current highest official of the Thestania Empire, Duke Carnegie, to allow him to take responsibility for this incident, including Marquis Rosquinho's part."

"Hmm... We can't really bring Duke Carnegie to court. If we do that, it'll only make post-war management even more chaotic."

"So what will happen to Marquis Rosquinho?"

"It seems Duke Carnegie will handle his case."

"...Is he going to kill him?"

"No, he will be imprisoned in the Linorro Great Prison along with his accomplices."

"I see."

"Then we will proceed as planned with the post-war talks, right? And the representative from our side is... Azumi?"

"Y-yes, that's correct... Is there a problem?"

".........I just hope there won't be any strange misunderstandings."

At Koshimizu's words, everyone chorused, "Ahhh..." It was well known both domestically and internationally that his appearance was intimidating. In fact, before Japan's transference, when he had attended a meeting with the Russian diplomat Kowalski, the latter had been visibly intimidated throughout the meeting.
