[Nar point of view]
All participants are currently looking at the Elder Giant. A giant who is known for his natural strength and who says that he will gather all the other giants under Saintess Rumia or Diana herself. Even I am curious
"She's the one the Devil King himself talked to. There are others, like the heroes, the saga, the chief knight of Emas, even various knights and adventurers, and yet the Devil King chose to speak to her, and the legendary witch Merlin after that, so the Devil King recognizes her as a future threat" [Elder Giant].
"I see, excellent deduction. Now, I'm curious about this little girl. May I meet her later, dear hero?" [Elizabeth]
"She's usually fine with meeting someone, but I'm afraid she's currently swamped with the performance and helping the succubus" (That look, she's looking for a challenge, isn't she...)[Nar]
"Perhaps we can arrange a meeting afterwards" (Sir Nar is being cautious, understandably...) [Head Maid]
"Is there any other reason for you to be under her?" [Ayaka]
The Southern Island Princess' sudden question makes others turn their attention back to the Elder Giant. I have a feeling that the Vampire Empress will just ignore our answer. She will definitely get to Diana one way or another. Even Khamisah understands that, and looking at her, it looks like she's ready to throw her hands up in the air if need be. I'm sure Empress Elizabeth wouldn't go as far as to fight Diana when she meets her, but knowing her violent and prideful tendencies, it's not our fault if we overreact.
"I'll refrain from answering for another reason of mine" [Elder Giant]
"Thank you for your understanding" (I'm glad I asked him the other real reason first, otherwise they will surely want Diana for themselves... Who wouldn't, someone who can communicate with the goddess is definitely valuable) [Head Maid]
I'm not sure what the other reason is, but whatever it is, it's big enough to warrant Head Maid Mahsuri asking Elder Giant not to tell others.
"So far, we've discussed armies consisting of adventurers, mercenaries, and even golems, I'm sure there are others we can discuss with, but how about taking a short break" [Amleth].
"Man, I can't wait for the sweets!" [Ling]
"Please, enjoy. I'm sure you'll find our sweets to satisfy your palate" [Kara].
"Little Princess is getting better than the last time I saw her, good, good" [Ling]
"Last time? Wait, is that the time you say you took a vacation to see your family and ran here just to get a product from the succubus?"
"What I meant to say was that I wanted to see my family's request. How could I refuse my mother and sister's request to obtain the elusive beauty products from the succubus? I heard that Little Diana herself had something to do with it" [Ling].
"Sure, you're right about that" [Merlin]
"Teacher!" [Mara]
"It's okay, Little Princess, right now, I'm sure everyone is surprised that her name is suddenly mentioned at this conference, a little more spark wouldn't do any harm, let's say from a certain someone who wanted to meet her right away, or a certain someone who is currently behind the scenes listening to every conversation" [Ling].
"Well, I allowed him to do that, but if he even dares to try to cause any harm, he won't get away with it" [Merlin]
"Oh interesting, I wonder who the other one beside me that is" [Elizabeth].
"Please, do not cause any more confusion" (They must have meant Valdrid) [Cardinal Davis]
I'm not surprised that the witch Merlin allowed Valdrid, who controls the King of Gastrium from behind the scenes, to listen in on this conference, but what I am more surprised about is how the Prime Minister of Xianxia, Mr. Ling, was able to get the information. We are all confused, but we doesn't really show our confusion.
"Sir Nar of the House of Vars, am I right?" [Nar]
"It's me, how can I help you, Princess Ayaka" [Nar].
"I'm also interested in seeing your little sister Diana, may I ask you to arrange a meeting" (Please let Sir Nar hear my request, I've heard she's good at breaking curses) [Ayaka]
The Southern Island Princess is really polite. I'd say she's even more polite than our two princesses, and of course, compared to Diana... If anything, I feel like her request isn't just out of curiosity like the Empress, but more like
"Looks like the little princess here is interested, too. How about we go and meet her together" [Elizabeth].
"But... But... But shouldn't we arrange a meeting" [Ayaka]
"Nonsense. I've heard that she's a free spirit, so I'm sure she wouldn't mind, but her two family members here are certainly overly cautious" [Elizabeth]
"Nonsense, we will make arrangements for both of you, so please be patient" [Nar].
(Looks like Nar is in a tight spot...) [Arthur]
(I wanted to help him, but I'm sure I'll just make things worse.) [JOATMON]
While the participants take their little tea breaks, we knights who are stationed report to each other on the current situation. So far, there is nothing to report. Einstein is currently preparing to transmit the conference back through the magic orb. It's a bit unfortunate that he didn't interrupt the transmission during our conversation, but since it's something unexpected, no one will blame him. I was just wondering how others would react.
