666 664 Responsibilities of Goldicia (1/2)

”I have a solution. Why don't you take one request from the college?

”Request?”

”Depending on the content,”

Apparently, the value of Tenryu's materials greatly exceeds 50 million gold. You've only achieved one, and you're asking for a level where you can make up for the shortfall?

It wouldn't be an easy request.

”Do you know what Goldicia's responsibility is?

'No, I don't. I could understand that it had something to do with the Goldician continent...'

”Well, in brief, I'm talking about the arrangements imposed on countries for marches and assistance to the Goldician continent,”

In the continent of Gordicia, the battle against the taboo warcraft, the abyss eater, created by Trismegistos, continues today.

Well, I just heard about it in the hearsay too, so I don't know what kind of fight it is.

And countries from all over the world were providing various kinds of assistance in that fight. Countries sending troops, countries providing supplies, and countries responsible for transport. Each country is doing what it can to help.

This aid is called 'Gordicia's responsibility' and it is obligatory for the nations of the world, he said. If we renounce this responsibility, there will be various penalties and, if malicious, we will even develop into a war with neighbouring countries.

In fact, there have been incidents in which a certain country that ignored this Goldician responsibility and attacked its neighbors while sending troops to Goldicia was subsequently destroyed by coalitions of neighbouring countries.

Goldicia's responsibility is necessary to protect the world. Therefore, the sanctions would seem to be quite severe so as not to create the perception that it is fine to ignore it.

Oh, my God, even that Reids kingdom will not fail to provide aid to the Goldician continent, so its coercion can be described as something inside.

”So, although it's my kingdom of Berios, it's usually financial aid and the provision of ships for transport. And I'm sending in the hired adventurers. Sometimes I travel. But...”

'You mean it's hard to provide financial aid or send soldiers next time? Wiena naturally can't. ”

”Exactly. Our take is this year or next. But there's been no foolish damage in this case.”

”This year or next?

”Well, that's tough indeed.”

”I can handle the financial aspects. But the force is a bit...”

We will need as much labour as we can to rebuild. Besides, even sending fewer adventurers out of the country is unacceptable.

Even if we wait until next year, we won't expect a dramatic recovery.

”In the first instance, a reduction or extension of responsibility is permitted in cases where a major disaster, for example, has led to a decline in national power. But I want it to be a last resort.”

They say showing other countries their weaknesses will reduce the influence of the Kingdom of Verios.

I'm talking about politics that makes me feel like we're not going down, but I guess it's something I can't ignore as a country greatness.

'So you're telling Fran, as the representative of the Kingdom of Verios, to go to Gordicia?

”That sort of thing. Well, even as a representative of the School of Magic. The reward goes out of both college and country.”

I guess that means, as a representative of the School of Magic, cross to the Goldician continent with the other humans seconded by Berios.

'Mm-hmm. I did intend to go to the Goldician continent someday...'

Aren't you anxious to carry your country? 'Cause it's Fran, right? I don't think I have a problem with my combat ability, but I can't be certain that I will never take problem action, etc.
