“This is—?!”
The Wind Founder Shiva falters.
The ones surrounding him are the equally notorious Founders of the five Churches.
Earth Founder, *Nekosogi Shakaruma* <Her alias in japanese>; Water Founder, Ru Azul; Fire Founder, Saruo Enou; and the Light Founder, Yorishiro.
“Yaho~, Karen-chi.” (Celestis)
“Were you lonely, Karen?!” (Mirack)
The water hero, Celestis, and the fire hero, Mirack, had also come.
“Ah, Mirack-chan, Celestis-chan! So you were the ones who brought the Founder-sans, right?!” (Karen)
Karen-san was also happy and held hands with her friends.
Yorishiro looks at them with her eyes narrowed.
“You heard about it beforehand, right? The hero alliance can show its effectiveness in this kind of way.” (Yorishiro)
I see, so she used the heroes that chatter habitually in Apollon City as envoys huh.
“The Earth, Water, and Fire Founders have already been notified of my claim via the heroes. Along with a message telling them that if they agree, they were to gather in this place. I can take our meeting here today in that way, right?” (Yorishiro)
Yorishiro, who is without doubt the youngest one within the Founders, looked around the people of her same position that were a lot older than her.
“…Well, I have a big debt with ya guys because of that incident before. With that also taken into consideration, I be riding on this talk-sa ne.”
“Whether it is a Founder or a merchant, there’s the need to discern the benefits of the future. The claim of Yorishiro-dono, I felt it was a business opportunity.” (Azul)
“Let there be hot-bloodedness.” (Enou)
Positive words from the Earth, Water, and Fire Founders.
Hearing this, Shiva made a bitter expression.
“Now then, what will you do, Wind Founder? Four of the five agree; even if you cry alone, it will only sound like a spoiled brat, you know?” (Yorishiro)
“…Hmph, fine.” (Shiva)
Shiva says this as if spitting it out.
“It is not like I am not interested in the claim of the Light Founder. Let’s see in detail if that’s not just nonsensical talk.” (Shiva)
“Thank you very much. Well then, let’s leave it at having an unanimous vote in opening the Five Founders Conference. Uhm, is the assembly hall really okay to be where you wish it to be?” (Yorishiro)
Assembly hall?
While I was confused, the Wind Founder says in an exaggerated manner.
“Very well. This time’s Founder Conference will be in our headquarters, Rudras Metropolis. That’s why we have come here along with our land.” (Shiva)
Eh?
In other words, we will be entering that moving city?
Karen-san and Yorishiro were whispering at my side.
“This is…it has become quite the event, don’t you think? To think we would be able to check out the Wind capital!” (Karen)
“Yeah, to think the Wind capital that has been denying outsiders has invited us, moreover, we didn’t even ask for it. That’s exactly what you would call, ‘what kind of wind is blowing here’?” (Yorishiro)
It seems like it really is a big deal.
In the time I was sensing an incredible atmosphere here, the talk between the tops was steadily progressing.
“Wind Founder, Shiva-sama, we appreciate your kindness, but your people have been in secrecy for a long time, and for your people, the Wind capital is supposed to be the very definition of a sacred land that no one can step into. Can you please tell us the reason why you have decided to accept us in it?” (Yorishiro)
“Let’s just say this was on the discretion of the Wind God.” (Shiva)
Quasar’s discretion huh.
That air-like God, what is it thinking?
“BUT…” (Shiva)
Shiva resolutely said this.
“Of course, I will be placing restrictions on the people entering. First of all, the only ones that can enter are the Founders. I will allow one bodyguard per church. Is there any objections?” (Shiva)
One bodyguard max.
That means the role will naturally fall onto the heroes.
“Oya oya, how cold. Since it was a rare chance, I brought a lot of people in order to deepen each other’s understanding.” (Azul)
“Let there be hot-bloodedness.” (Enou)
Looks like the Founders are also dissatisfied with it.
But even so, this is a visit from the Founders.
All churches have come with a unit of at least a hundred soldiers, and now that it has been allowed to take only one from that group, it would certainly be stingy.
“I will have the remaining people camp at the outskirts of the moving city. We will provide the facilities and food for that. There should be no complains with that.” (Shiva)
“This just be a hypothetical scenario but…”
Is what the Earth Founder Obaa-san said.
