"Heh-heh... Ha-ha-ha! Well, that was impressive. Yes, very surprising... Quite beyond my expectations. Young Enfield really is sothing."
diath's uncontrolled laughter reverberated throughout his office as he offered her unfeigned applause.
In front of him was an air window showing the live broadcast of Tamazuki's interview, where Tamazuki told everyone that he was going to give the right to ask a wish to Claudia, yet, unexpectedly, Claudia asked sothing outrageous, so outrageous that diath wanted to laugh happily.
"It looks like getting rid of the broadcast delay was the right decision after all."
In the past, live broadcasts of the Festa and related events have been subject to delays to give the tournant administrator enough ti to prevent unacceptable content from reaching the public. The fans, however, had been vehently opposed to this arrangent from the very beginning, abolishing the practice and becoming one of diath's first acts as Executive Committee chairman.
"...what's the aning of this, diath?" A disinterested voice asked from the corner of the room.
The figure of the young woman, all but dissolving into the wall like a shadow and sporting a chanical necklace-like object wrapped around her throat.
"Why does she want to see Ladislav?"
"Oh? Are you worried about your dear father?"
From how diath talked to this woman, the identity of this woman didn't seem like a normal human; instead, she might be sothing else entirely.
"...he might have created , but we don't have that kind of relationship."
"It was a joke. But as for why young Enfield wants to et the professor, even I don't... Hmm"
At that mont, his mobile began to ring.
As he opened the air -the window, the face of a fuming, redheaded young man appeared in front of him.
"What's the aning of this, Madiath?!"
Madiath couldn't help but grin at the words, exactly the sa as the woman beside him. "I am afraid I am just as shocked as you are. Why don't you try asking her directly? I'd like to know myself."
"Don't play dumb with ! If you know sothing, spit it out!"
Dirk didn't change his expression even though he had a relationship with Tamazuki. For him, his relationship with Tamazuki was a secret, and even if Madiath might be his accomplice, there were many things that they hid from each other. More importantly, he didn't want Madiath to know about Tamazuki.
Still, even so, Dirk asked Madiath this question to this person as he knew how much hatred Madiath felt toward IEFs.
"Believe , I have no idea what she's trying to achieve," Madiath answered honestly. "All I know is that she's been looking into the professor for so ti now, which seems to have upset Galaxy quite a bit."
Dirk glared back at him as if he found that difficult to believe.
The two didn't end their conversation and kept talking to each other as the woman stood near Madiath, listening to their conversation.
The three of them were mbers of a certain organization.
The Golden Bough Alliance.
This was the na of their organization.
As for their purpose? Was it important? After all, the protagonist, without a doubt, would try his best to stop this evil organization.
anwhile, similarly, while mbers of the Golden Bought Alliance talked about the aftereffects of Claudia's stunt, Galaxy, the IEF, which would be affected the most by Claudia's stunt, quickly held a eting among the higher executive.
Among those executives, one person had a similar feature to Claudia but was a little older. Her graceful blonde hair, tied up in a bun, and her well-tailored black suit both served to emphasize her rare beauty and all of it completely belied her true age.
Yes, she was Claudia's mother.
Iseballa Enflied.
Even if the eting was talking about the future of her daughter, Isabella's expression was calm, as if the thought of losing her daughter was sothing that could be faced calmly.
Along with her, all the executives of the Galaxy gathered in the special conference room at Galaxy's headquarters, which was completely devoid of ostentation.
It was filled only with a long table, surrounded by a neat row of chairs on either side. Anyone entering it for the first ti would no doubt be struck by how utterly uninspiring it was.
In this room, anything that did not exist to benefit the Galaxy was unnecessary.
That rule applies equally to both objects and people.
All the people presented emanated the sa machinelike iciness as they talked about Claudia's stunt, as without a doubt, her action would cause a lot of disadvantages to the Galaxy.
"This eting concerns how to deal with Seidoukan Academy's student council president, Claudia Enfield," Isabella said plainly and dispassionately. "Please give us all your unsevered opinions." It was her own daughter whom she was talking about, but there wasn't so much as a shred of emotion in her voice.
Nor did any of the other executives ntion that fact. That was to be expected. No one clinging to selfish desires, such as content for one's family, would have been able to react to their kind of position within the integrated enterprise foundations.
Yet, this wasn't surprising as every executive of IEFs would be adjusted, and their personalities would almost be erased as they could serve the IEFs wholeheartedly.
"We have already received requests from EP, Solange, and Frauenlob to co to a fair decision under the pretext of the Festa. W&W and Jie Long seem prepared to do the sa."
"What a nuisance."
"This will make any open thod of dealing with her difficult."
"But we cannot let her be."
"There is no guarantee that Inugamigyoubu Tamazuki will win. Perhaps we should continue to monitor the situation?"
"Did you forget how powerful he was when he wielded Ser-Veresta? This Festa is as good as his."
"..."
Everyone had seen how powerful Tamazuki was, and this was also what made them a little helpless since this guy's mind couldn't be predicted as he could give the reward of the Festa so easily to Claudia.
"Then, we should make our preparations."
All of them agreed.
"Given that it relates to Festa, we should use Madiath sa. If we were to give him a valid reason to disqualify Inugamigyoubu..."
"No, he can't be trusted."
"Moreover, there will be a backlash if we are seen to have had a hand in it."
The executives, in turn, raised their voices. There was no interruption, and yet, no sooner had one person finished peaking than the next would begin without pause. Each had been stripped of personality to the extent that it was impossible to tell who had said what.
There was no need to distinguish between them here. They never exchanged opinions, only logical evaluations of information and possibilities.
One could even say that the huge corporate entity that was Galaxy was engaging in dialogue with itself.
"What if we disposed of Bartosik?"
"That would violate the agreent with Varda-Vaos."
"Is there any need to honor it?"
"We will lose everything if its existence leaks out. Therefore, it would be unwise to antagonize it."
"What is its present status?"
"According to the report from Yabuki's group, it seems to have been identified in Rikka at the beginning of spring..."
"It will be quicker to deal with Claudia Enflied directly than to try to do sothing with Bartosik."
"What if we used Yabuki's group?"
"Agree, but we should add more insurance."
As they continued to talk, they had made up their minds, and it was to eliminate Claudia Enfield.
