92 After Days: Annisphere'S Birthday 05
At the end of my break with Lang, when I went back to my room, I saw people from the Spirit Ministry face-to-face discussing it. Earlier, I heard my lecture pale. I hit them and they change and exchange words hot.
As I rounded my eyes to the unexpected sight, I noticed Lang entering first and everyone corrected their residence and took their seats. It's quiet, like when I was giving a lecture, to show no pale emotions.
"... uh. You don't have to worry about me...?
"No, for that reason..."
"His Royal Highness the King of Anisphere says. There's no need to be so hard. You understand me saying this is more like it than the ex. Sometimes it's disrespectful."
The people of the Spirit Ministry looked complicated in Lang's words. The hell, he seemed confused as to how to react.
I don't know what to do with my attitude towards me, because it's also because of my stack so far. I can't decide what to do myself.
It doesn't change that I am royal when I say that Uffi has reigned over me as queen. I don't think you have to behave as you should, yeah. Right.
"Then I want you to do this. I want you to treat me as a single researcher when I'm talking about magic. I want you to treat me as my sister Wang if it's not a place where magic is not involved or a private place. This is the compromise I can show. Because if you seem to care about your identity and can't even give an opinion, it doesn't make sense to have me in a place for discussion like this. I want you to obey me as a royal word if you have to."
It's not a good idea not to behave as a royal. But when I'm talking about magic, I'm more of a researcher than a royal. That's why I want you to change the way you treat me according to this situation.
With my clear guidance, the people of the Spirit Ministry finally seemed to ease their attitudes just a little bit. I stroke my chest down gently too in the air that only got a little better.
"So, did you come up with any good ideas?
"That's it...... I first reviewed the role of Spirit Stone in the festival and thought about what is required of a demonic prop that can be used permanently to reduce the consumption of Spirit Stone. Now I think the consumption of spiritual stones is an indication of its authority, and that consumption is what was seen as important."
"I was that recognition, too, wasn't I? But in today's public opinion, mass consumption of spiritual stones can buy disgust."
"Her Royal Highness Sister Wang is right. What kind of magic equipment would be good, then? In the first place, we thought that magic tools were being created to make the tools that already existed more convenient and exert limited magic there."
Yeah. My celestial is also prototyped as a sword, and I think you'd be right if they told me it was a tool for using it, combining magical swords there. Try to magically make the tools you have now more convenient. That's one of the reasons demonic props are made.
Sometimes air bikes and other things are created to realize previous life concepts, but that's why many of them are created in combination with existing tools.
"So, is it ideal to attract people's attention at festivals, something indispensable, and magic props that can be used at the initiative of the Ministry of the Spirit?
"Yes. That's what we thought, too. So one idea came to mind, I floated..."
"Huh? Did you float?
I blinked my eyes unexpectedly. I turn my gaze unintentionally on Lang, who was accompanying me on my break. He's also opening his eyes to a little surprise.
"If it's a birthday like this one, it's an instrument that's especially essential"
"Instruments?"
"Yes, from the bustle of the venue, performers are also essential when dancing. Some hymns are dedicated to the Spirit. And songs and instruments are one of the most frequently used tools of aristocracy."
That's certainly true if you ask me. There is no such concept in this world as recording music. We need performers when we dance, and an instrument is arguably the most eye-catching dish if we pay attention to it.
"The performance of instruments is not one of the preferences of nobility. And as a performer it is the second son of the nobility and those who do not succeed to the title, one of the professions chosen by them. I think it would be an opportunity to show those people the day..."
"Yeah. I guess it's good! Instrument! I think it's nice too!
Instruments created with magic props technology! I guess that's very good! You're overflowing with dreams and romance somehow!
It's just that when I show a delightful reaction, people in the spiritual ministry look at me like I'm having trouble reacting, and I'm like, oh? And I lean my neck.
"What's going on?
"No, the... Is that really what Her Royal Highness Sister Wang thinks? It's an instrument, right?
"Yeah? Isn't it nice because it's an instrument?
"His Royal Highness the King of Anisphere develops demonic props as a help to life and a practical one. So I thought there might be no use for tailoring instruments as magic props."
"Huh? Doesn't it have to be anything practical?
We'll be silent with each other. They look at each other with the look of birds being shot by arrows. I don't know, what's it like this mutual perception is uneven?
"What, did you need a condition called a practical festive tool?
"... Her Royal Highness Sister Wang does not ask for practicality in demonic props?
"I do make magic props as a handy thing, but this time for a different purpose, huh? Because the intent of this demonic prop is to reduce the consumption of spiritual stones, but also to use them at festivals. Well, I suppose it's okay to make an instrument as a workpiece because it has a symbolic meaning to it. Practicality may actually be used for something if I try to make it, but I think the important thing is to correctly indicate the intent given to that tool..."
I certainly don't know what an instrument made of spiritual stone processing technology can be used for. But I think that technology and symbolism are the things that matter. Play a song that offers praise to the Spirit, an instrument created with the technique of processing spiritual stones given by the Spirit.
And it is also a dedication to the blood that the royal family has inherited from the history that has made this country. Even if it's not practical, if it's made with all this intent, it's not a problem at all than just consuming spiritual stones. And once you make it, you'll have to put your hands on it to take care of it, but the consumption should be reduced.
"... Sister Wang, may I ask you something now?
"Hmm?"
"What do you really think of us, the Ministry of the Spirit?
He has asked me that question as one man stands for. Though I accidentally saw Lang's face, Lang didn't seem to be going to say anything in silence.
"Why would you want to hear that?
"It's... I don't know what you think, but I don't know what to do. That's why I'm confused. You can say you're afraid."
"... right. I guess I'm the one who did that."
I am the one who has done something to destroy this country's previous values. The reforms that Uffi has also accomplished by involving him are what I wanted above all else, but I take it for granted that some people hate and confuse that change.
The spiritual ministry was largely cut off from power because it was necessary for the reforms I wanted. I nonetheless insisted that we should leave behind an organization called the Ministry of the Spirit, also because I have what I want.
"I just want everyone in the spiritual ministry to do their best."
"Work hard, do you?
"Yes, you can do things I can't. I can do things you can't do. But that's not why I want to get along. Even the problem surrounding the demand for spiritual stones this time. I want Spirit Stone to be used more for demonic props, and things to help people live more widely. But I feel guilty for doing something that would destroy the culture you've cherished. So I wondered if I could show it in a new way, in a way that inherited something."
Put your hands on your chest and I'll look for words to see how I feel.
"Let's be clear, you didn't do this, I don't think you can forgive the former Ministry of Magic for neglecting me. But I don't think you want me to disappear because I can't forgive you. You neglected to do so. [M] So I won't either, and I shouldn't. If there is a path on which we can walk each other a little further, I want to go that way. I entrusted the Ministry of the Spirit with the compilation of past records because I thought you were the best people to inherit the history and culture of this country. No matter how the country changes, I want you to tell the future with your heart that you have this culture and it's still handed down today."
"... how can you think that way?
'Cause my dream is the Wizard who makes someone smile
Someone sounded breathtaking. My dreams, my admiration, the way I wanted to. Wizards who make someone smile, I still want to be. The wizard, though a little different from the image, is not common in this country.
"I want everyone to laugh. People I know, someone I don't know, want to find a way for everyone not to be unhappy. Ideal theory, but I've always wanted to be. That's why I'm here to help you. That's what I meant."
I uttered the words to be conveyed. What you wanted, what you wished for, why you poke and move me now.
Thoughts about people in the Spirit Ministry are complicated, but I think it would be great if they could work hard, be praised and praised where they can be active. If you ask me if I can praise you directly, it's a little difficult.
... So, this is where I've been completely quiet, but what am I supposed to do with this?
"Her Royal Highness the King of Anisphere"
"Lang"
"I thought I'd had enough for today. The idea of an instrument is very interesting. I think I'll consider it on that line, so should I contact the Ministry of Magic and Sciences regarding processing techniques for spiritual stones, etc?
"Uh, yeah. Right. I've never touched a musical instrument, and I think I should talk to a craftsman...?
"Thank you. Thank you for your time today."
Lang gratefully urges me to take my hand and escort him out of the room. Um, this is polite, but do you mean go home?
I did get weird air, and maybe I should just go home like this. No, I can't make a decision for a minute, so I'll give you a courtesy and leave at Lang's escort.
"You're still too irritating."
Leaving the room, Lang said so with a bitter smile a little walk away. I couldn't deny it either, so I think you have a subtle look on your face.
"You may be rude, but I'm not sure I can get along with you."
"I don't mind. In the first place, yeah, I'm sure he's got a different attitude than you. We ask you to be royal, to be the one who stands above us, the one who guides us. to its blood, to its status."
"... well, if they say royalty, right? I used to think it didn't matter, but now I think I should be able to act like that some more."
"Yeah, but it's also good to want to be a wizard. Her Majesty Queen Uphilia stood as king, and I wondered if that was why."
He let go of the hand Lang was escorting and took a step away from me.
"We still need time to exchange words."
"You think so?
"From various points of view, I thought so. So I'm going to make future inquiries through the Ministry of Magic."
"Yeah. If you think Lang should do that. You're just gonna be busy over there, so don't let him be impotent, okay?
"If you said that, wouldn't the people in the Ministry of Magic give you a subtle look?
"... I'm the one who kept you busy."
I was wondering if I should work. But weirdly, when I move, I seem to stutter everyone like I did today. I don't know, let's talk to Uffi.
