âRanelle, itâs been a long time.â
âYuta-sanâŚâŚThank God, youâre okay.â
From my room in Fugaku, I sent a message to Ranelle. I wasnât sure if she would be there or not since she was busy, but she responded right away.
âIâm sorry if Iâm talking to you like this after such a long time, but do you know a place called Alice Abbey?â
âYes. Of course I know about it, itâs a famous neutral organization. Whatâs wrong with it?â
âActually, I have a connection with them and Iâm in the main temple of Alice Abbey. Iâm in a bit of trouble hereâŚâ
I told her that Alice Abbey was being unjustly invaded by the Valkyria Empire and the Kingdom of Lubel. She is a responsible head of state, and I donât think she would act on her personal feelings alone, but I explained to her in a way that appealed to her feelings.
âItâs outrageous to invade an organization thatâs absolutely neutral in order to force them into submission! It is absolutely unacceptable! I understand. Itâs not a decision I can make on my own, but Iâll call a meeting of the Federation Council tomorrow to discuss the matter.â
âThank you, Ranelle. Iâm sorry for making such a request in a private communicationâŚâŚâ
âNo, Iâm just glad that Yuta-san relied on me.â
What a good friend she is, to be happy that I asked her for help. I thought that I would gladly lend my support to her if she asked me for help.
As Ranelle had said, she immediately put it on the agenda of the Federation Council, and the Amurian Federation officially came forward to support the Alice Abbey. It was a relief to know that an army would be dispatched to defend Alice Abbey.
âWhat can I do to thank you, Yuta-sama?â
Mother Maysa thanked me politely, as if she was afraid.
âIf you want to thank me, help the Amurian Federation, who decided to provide actual support.â
âOf course, I am grateful to the Amurian Union. But we owe Yuta-sama more than we can ever repay. Itâs a shame that Alice Abbey is a non-profit organization whose only claim to fame is that itâs old, so we canât do much to repay youâŚâŚ.Thatâs right, Sister Muzie, come here.â
Then she called Sister Muzie.
âPlease take Sister Muzie with you, itâs the least we can do.â
I didnât understand what she meant, but was she offering me Sister Muzie as a reward? She bowed with a cheerful expression despite the fact that she was being offered to me.
âIt is my pleasure, Yuta-sama.â
Alana, who was listening to the exchange, pointed out angrily.
âWait a minute! Yuta is not in need of a woman. You donât need to thank him like that.â
âI apologize for the lack of explanation. It is not for the purpose of having Sister Muzie accompany Yuta-sama to perform services for him. Itâs for something much more valuable.â
âSomething valuable?â
âYes, itâs about information. I would like to provide Yuta-sama with information from all over the continent that is gathered at Alice Abbey through Sister Muzie.â
âWell, thatâs a great reward. Yuta, letâs take it.â
Jean was the first to realize its value. He immediately agreed to accept Mother Maysaâs offer.
It would certainly be helpful to get information from all over the continent. There was also an extra room in Fugaku, and there was no reason to refuse.
