C483: Disclosure of Information / Jean

Thanks to the Sword Saint the enemy army fled and I returned to Musashi with ease. After returning to Musashi, I had a talk with Emitz about the future.

“Jean, what are you going to do now?”

“We should move on to discussions with the allied countries as soon as possible, but we haven’t received any information that can be used as evidence yet……so for now, we just want to be ready to move as soon as Kiyone and the others return.”

The Republic of Dhahran, which has taken a hard approach to the issue, has openly confronted us, so we need to hurry things along, but we can’t move without confirming the information.

“But still, Kiyone and the others are late; it should be time for them to return by now.”

It is true that it is taking longer than planned. It is possible that they were attacked as we were, but since Kiyone is a master there is no need to worry about her safety. However, there is a possibility that this is why she is late.

As we were talking about them, Kiyone and the others came back and as expected, it seems that they were attacked and their schedule was disrupted, so it took them longer than I thought.

I was further surprised to hear that there had been three attacks and yet, Kiyone and the other former members of the Sword Clan seemed unconcerned.

“You were attacked three times? We were attacked only once.”

Sword Saint seemed to be disappointed that the battle with the attackers was somehow unsatisfactory.

“How was the new Excalibur?”Kiyone asked.

The new Excalibur has a much stronger power and speed than the old one and it has the passive strength feature that the Great Sage mentioned. That will not be a letdown against any opponent.”

“I’m curious to see how good it is.”

I heard Rafishal saying that the Sword Saint did not need to do any tricks, so he strengthened Excalibur by simply improving its performance and increasing its limit value.

With the background music of the conversation that began as they started talking about swordsmanship techniques, I confirmed the information Kiyone had brought back.

Hmmm, this would be enough to accuse President Bouddarga of manipulating information.

After confirming the contents of the report, I immediately contacted Fugaku, in the Kingdom of Meltaria, and obtained permission to release the information and its contents to the various countries.

I then asked Sister Muzie to release the information and evidence to the allied countries using the information network of the Alice Abbey.

The evidence was conclusive, and the unrest spread quickly, forcing the nations to rethink their direction toward the Kingdom of Meltaria and to turn their anger toward the Republic of Dhahran and President Bouddarga, who had tried to bring down the southwestern nations by spreading false information.

Bouddarga, now isolated and helpless, will be done for.

At best, he would be removed from office, arrested, and forced to live behind bars for a while. At worst, he would lose his life.

When I imagined this, I remembered Bouddarga when he was still my best friend……and felt a little sympathy for him, while Emitz informed me about the approach of a large army.
