「Nii-san, it’s true. Even today, we had it investigated, but not even the Magician’s Guild nor a Slave Trader were able to remove this choker……」
「Tsk……Just how useless are you people……To not be able to release your own magic, you must be idiots. Well, whatever. One of the treasures that we have in our country should be able to do something about it……At least release your command on her!」
「I have not made any commands on her. Shera is not a slave.」
「Haa? Were you serious about that? That was so stupid, I wasn’t able to understand……Ahh, I see, since Shera’s head is empty, you didn’t even need to command her with magic. Man, the limits of you guys’ stupidity has surpassed my imagination.」
Putting the most anger he’s had today into it, Diablo opened his mouth.
「Same to you, promise that you’ll draw back your army and that you’ll never interfere with us again if Shera says that she doesn’t want to go back.」
Kiira nodded while having a broad grin.
「Fine with me. If she refuses, I’ll have the army withdraw by tomorrow.」
Shera said 「I’ll finish this really quick!」 and showed a smiling face.
There was some uneasiness.
However, Diablo believed in Shera.
Though he doubted if he could trust in Kiira’s verbal promise……
But unfortunately, if things were to resort to armed might, he wouldn’t be able to protect the people of the town.
This negotiation──
It came down to setting up cards that the other would hate, without either making a call for the match. It was nothing but that.
Diablo took Rem and Alicia out of the room.
Leaving the two of them behind, they closed the door.
