第１８２４堀：パーティー終わってのウィード (Part2)
"Well, I suppose we can assume Glass Port Town is simply that well-liked. Sisua and Sona have already been informed and approved on the other side, so they're cleared to begin immigration immediately."
Ultimately, the fault lies with the inactive kings, and since we are not at fault, we are cleared to proceed with the original plan.
I don't believe this will cause any major incidents, and our security isn't so lax as to allow it.
They have their own escorts, so we can just leave them to it.
Just keep them fed at the hotel.
That hotel is primarily for VIPs, and we have separate accommodations for the general public, so there's truly no issue.
"Understood. Oh, speaking of important figures, what is the status of the Grand Master? I heard that Nina and the others met with the staff on the other side for a discussion."
"Oh, Quar, weren't you informed of the details?"
"At the time, I was busy at the party venue. I left midway through. I believe the plan was for me to track them with familiars and drones from now on."
"Ah, that. Well, I also left in the same manner, and my handling of the important figures at the hotel was the same. As for what happened afterward..."
I presented the subsequent report and sent it to Quar's computer.
"I see. So the Grand Master returned for now and actually began the investigation. Lady Nina and the others are continuing under the guise of being acquaintances of Arka-dono, taking requests as adventurers."
"Exactly. It wasn't a matter of Suana Town being immediately affected, though the talk of immigration does make things a bit delicate."
"There hasn't been an announcement yet, has there?"
"No, there hasn't. We're currently in the process of verifying it. I've also had Kirika's subordinates assigned to it. I never imagined it would be unrelated to the royal family."
"If Arka-dono's story is correct, that monster forest is an inviolable territory for both nations, and they seem to understand that touching it would lead to war. Nevertheless, there's likely a desire to acquire it if possible."
"True. It would undoubtedly be an achievement. However, I have no idea if the higher-ups would approve."
After all, a misstep could ignite a war.
If war were to break out in the current situation, there's no telling what the higher powers—the great nations overseeing us—would say.
From the perspective of a great nation, such conflicts would suggest problems with governance.
Well, that's probably why they're moving in silence.
If the story from that staff member, Arka, is correct, it seems they're dispatching troops purely to rescue immigrants attacked by monsters.
"They wouldn't approve. After all, approval could lead to territorial infringement. At most, it would be a covert instruction."
"Right. If they were to openly issue such an an order, Roschur wouldn't stay silent. Well, in the end, waiting for information is crucial. Oh, speaking of which, there was talk that the catalog shown in Oue was surprisingly well-received."
"Ah, I heard about that. It seems it will be accepted on the New Continent more than expected, so there's high anticipation for the visit to the Kingdom of Jeyaes."
"Indeed. However, it seems Oue alone might deplete our stock, so there was a request to release it via DP, separate from regular production."
"Ah, well, that's to be expected. There's no way the nobles wouldn't want it after seeing it, and production wouldn't be able to keep up."
"Exactly. In fact, when Eris heard about it, she asked if we shouldn't distribute it to the Intercontinental Exchange Alliance as well. It turned out better than expected, you see."
Saying so, I showed the catalog to Quar.
"...This is Mikos-sama working too hard. It's good that Lady Eris noticed. If we prioritize distribution to the New Continent, we'd be facing criticism. Shouldn't we increase production and warehouse capacity?"
"That's difficult to predict, and we can't just conjure them up immediately, so it's a tricky situation."
"I see. Indeed, it's not something that can be made instantly just by ordering it. In that case, we might have to endure for a while with DP, while simultaneously preparing our production system."
"Right. And then the question becomes, who will create that plan?"
"...Mikos-sama and Ratz?"
"Neither of them are exactly free... Nevertheless, they were the originators, so I'll talk to them just in case."
In the end, it seems more work will pile up.
Just when I think it's lessened, it increases.
Is that just how work is...?
I certainly can't pass it on to my husband.
If it were my husband, he'd achieve suitable results, but he'd also put in unnecessary effort...
*Sigh*, things never go as planned.
As always, the work increases.
Nevertheless, the various warfronts are, for now, calm.
The busiest sector is production.
Even when there's no fighting, the world is still a battle.
Seraria, as Queen, finds processing such petitions to be a headache-inducing task.
Still, with her husband and comrades by her side, the burden is lighter than in other nations.
