An ordinary profession creates the world's strongest

Mei'er continued the previous topic with the intention of trying to get away with it.

"You really weren't listening during the meeting..."

Although Mireidi gives people a frivolous impression, she looks very elegant even when just drinking soup.

Meanwhile, Mel, who comes across as a gentle and tolerant older sister, actually dripped some sauce onto her hoagie. Mel's expression was filled with worry, and the brown sauce stained Milady's ponytail...

Oscar and Niaz also noticed it, and both of them showed expressions that something was wrong.

"If we want to know the number of secret bases and branches, we must first understand the locational relationship between countries and towns. Mei'er, are you clear about this?"

"Eh!? That's true, I'm a little unclear. If it's the tides of the West Sea, then I'm confident that I know the most about it in the world."

Although Mei'er was a little flustered, after a moment, she immediately replied with a gentle smile.

Oscar and Natsu looked at each other.

Sister Mei exerted silent pressure, staring at the two with the eyes of a pirate queen, ordering them to stop talking and eat their food.

"I really can't help you. It's okay if you keep eating, but look at this."

No, I think it's best not to watch while eating—Milletti didn't notice Oscar and Natsu's eye contact and activated the treasure house.

Yes, it was Oscar's treasure chest that had been distributed to everyone in the group of Meredith. She didn't wear it on her finger, but as a necklace.

Suddenly, a map as big as a pair of outstretched arms appeared in the air.

"This is the world map. Listen carefully! Xiao Mi will teach you in detail, so you must listen carefully. Mei'er, you must not fall asleep this time, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to Xiao Mi."

Because she has no time to nap now, ah, the sauce has seeped into the gaps in her hair...

In this case, I have no choice but to control my magic power and secretly use regeneration magic...

"Oh my goodness, Mei-nee! Look carefully at the map!"

"Hmm, there's not even a gap!"

Seeing that Sister Mei'er was absent-minded, Teacher Miledy immediately scolded her.

Mei'er had no choice but to look at the map.

Meredy nodded in satisfaction and began to explain.

"First, the Northern Continent. It goes without saying that this is the territory ruled by humans. To be more precise, it's the territory ruled by the Church of Holy Light."

Meredi pointed to a point on the map—a location further north in the northern continent, close to the center.

"There's a particularly vast mountain drawn here, right? This is the Divine Mountain, the headquarters of the Church of Holy Light. And with the Divine Mountain as its center, the area stretching west to the Shardor Union, east to the Principality of Uldia, and south to the Kingdom of Beruka is the Kingdom of Elbad."

"It's a country with the 'Great Red Desert', the 'Great Red Dragon Mountain', and the 'Great Green Tunnel' within its borders. This is the first time I've heard of the Principality of Uldia."

Mel! Look at your hands! The sauce is dripping! Oscar and Niez winked at Sister Mel, but she didn't notice.

The sauce dripping from the submarine burger formed droplets on the tip of Mei'er's little finger.

"The Principality of Uldia was originally a kingdom."

In the past, the northern mountainous region of the Kingdom of Urdia was a fertile agricultural kingdom with a huge lake in front of it, Lake Ur.

"About a hundred years ago, because their people believed in the spirits that were said to dwell in Lake Ur..."

"...It's been turned into a vassal state."

L.

Oscar and Natsu cried out in silent agony. Meredith's beautiful golden hair was gradually adorned with the sweet and salty brown sauce.

"By the way, this is also the country where the Liberator's headquarters is located."

Although it is called a country, it is actually considered as a border territory of the Kingdom of Elbad, so it is very convenient for action in many aspects.

"And to the east of the Principality of Urdia lies the Odion Federation."

"That's where the deputy leader is, right?"

"Indeed, the Odion Federation is a thoroughly military state. Although it is composed of nine small nations, it is a centralized system, with the Emirate holding all real power. The other nations are called 'supporting nations,' meaning 'nations that support the Emirate.'"

By the way, every five years all the countries in the federation will hold a mock war, and the victorious country will become the next emirate.

"So there is such a brutal country." Sister Mei'er made such a comment, but she didn't think about the fact that she was also a pirate who could not go near the city.

Perhaps because Meredith was rarely serious, Meier also listened very attentively.

Although she was listening...

Perhaps for this reason, she seemed to suddenly remember the submarine burger and took a big bite, but did not notice that the sauce was dripping down.

“Ahh, no!

"Be careful!"

Oscar and Natsu couldn't help but warn them, but it was too late.

This time, Mei'er bit down and squeezed out the shredded vegetables, which were covered in sauce and fell onto her golden hair...

"Oh? Nai-chan? What's wrong?"

The question is, should they say it or not?

After all, the two had just been threatened by the Pirate Queen's gaze. More importantly, Mei, who "did everything casually," was studying seriously—even though she was forced to do so, it was still a rare occurrence!

In the end, the two of them stammered and were unable to speak.

Although Mireidi felt strange, she continued to explain while Mei was studying hard:

"And then to the south of the Principality of Urdia and the Odion Federation is..."

"Is it the Grandat Empire, the magical kingdom where Mimi was born?"

"That's right! It's the only country in the Northern Continent whose territory reaches directly to the Southern Continent across the Raison Canyon."

The above are all the nations of humanity. Essentially, every nation has a branch of the Church of Light in its capital, manipulating the affairs of each nation, either behind the scenes or openly.

Not only the Principality of Urdia, in fact, all countries can be considered as vassal states of the Kingdom of Elbad.

"I see. Looking back now, the enemy is quite formidable. Speaking of which, defeating God is all very well, but where is God, after all?"

Meredy turned around with tears in her eyes and said:

"Didn't you even hear that? I told you when we were alone on the Melkine..."

Is Sister Mei actually not interested in Xiao Mi at all? Is that so? Mireddy's tearful eyes seemed to say so, and Sister Mei suddenly panicked. In her panic, the sauce dripped even more.

However, they only had eyes for each other, so they didn't notice.

"I, I did hear it! But the story between Xiao Mi and Belle left a deep impression on me. Maybe it was because of the method of defeating God. I... Besides, I didn't plan to go with you at that time, did I?"

"So, you forgot?"

Meredith put away her sad face and stared at Mei'er with cold eyes.

"...Because Mei-nee-sama is a woman who doesn't mind trivial matters."

Mei'er looked away and whistled.

Meredith sighed deeply and turned forward again, her arms folded across her chest, looking unhappy.

"Do you remember what I said about me going to headquarters?"

"As I recall, you went to confirm with your own eyes whether what Belle said was true, right? And then you were hunted by the Apostle of God."

Although Meredith wondered why she only remembered this one thing, she still began to explain the Liberator's goal.

At the headquarters atop Mount Sacred, within a rocky sanctuary, stood a pure white pillar. The Liberator's goal was to destroy that pillar.

"At that time, in the place where Belle was almost killed, I saw the apostle communicating with God."

The light shining from the pure white pillar radiates powerful power and possesses will.

It can be known that the place where the oracle maiden receives the oracle is the place that connects God and the underworld.

"Honestly, I don't know where God is, but it's true that God is using that pillar as a medium—entering God's kingdom, destroying the headquarters, and preventing God's will from being transmitted to the earth. This is the purpose of me and the Liberator."

Of course, the Apostle of God made Meredith realize that his own side was completely lacking in combat power. That's why, relying on rumors, Meredith embarked on a journey in search of a companion as powerful as himself.

"Does that mean we've defeated God?"

"Of course, I didn't defeat him. But for an opponent whose whereabouts and existence are currently unknown, that might be the most effective method."

Meredy laughed, her usual annoying smile on her face, and continued:

"But the headquarters is the symbol of the Holy Light Church, and it's also God's home. Sister Mei, how can a God who treats humans as toys remain silent when both your symbol and your home are destroyed?"

"Oh my, Xiao Mi! Your expression is so evil that it's admirable!"

At least if it were Mei'er, in order to make humans pay the price, she would definitely show up and punish humans personally before she would stop.

Meredith nodded and said, "Is that so?" Knowing that she had finally made Mei's forgetful mind remember the important goals of the organization, Meredith smiled and said happily:

"Back to the topic we were discussing. Do you want me to explain the current world situation?"

“Okay, please—!?”

Seeing that Miley's mood had improved, Sister Mel felt relieved for the time being. She remembered that she had not finished the submarine burger, so she put the last part of the submarine burger into her mouth.

Then, finally, she noticed—noticed that the hoagie had been dripping with goo while they were talking.

I noticed that there was a hellish scene above my little sister's head...

She quickly looked at Oscar and Natsu, both of whom seemed to be having headaches.

"First, the 'White Forest' in the east. This is the territory of the Orcs. They maintain a closed-door policy, and even the 'Liberators' are rarely able to enter. They appear to be a normal nation... Hey, Mei-sister, are you listening?"

"I'm listening, and I'm listening very carefully. Mr. Meredith's explanations are very easy to understand."

"Is that so? Hehe, then let me continue."

Oscar and Natsu thought: That guy definitely wasn't listening. Now she was also trying to find the moment to use regeneration magic, desperately trying to cover up the trouble she had caused.

Mei'er began to gather her magic power cautiously and quietly again. Meredith said "Hmm?" and turned around.

"What's wrong, Mr. Meredith?"

Mei'er showed a sweet smile of an older sister, and didn't look like she had done anything wrong at all.

Meredith was addressed as "teacher" again, and she turned her head back in embarrassment.

"The sea of ​​trees is always shrouded in fog. It's said that without the permission of the Orc King, one will get lost without exception. The Church once brainwashed orc captives to lead the way..."

As a result, it seemed that everyone was lost in the sea of ​​trees.

Therefore, although the Sea of ​​Trees is located in the northern continent, it is a place where the Church of Holy Light cannot take action.

“Though there are other areas where the Church cannot intervene…”

"Where is it?"

The chopped vegetable pieces fell into the gaps of the hair.

Mel pretended to stroke Meredith's hair, carefully exploring the depths of the strands. Come out! Vegetable fragments!

"To the north lies a vast mountain range, and beyond it lies the land of the Dragon People. The mountains stretch endlessly northward, and with each mountain you cross, there are stronger groups of monsters. This area is also a natural fortress, and it's not a suitable place for marching except by open air."

In addition, using air routes will inevitably lead to the annihilation of the entire army. After all, no race can fly in the sky more freely than the dragon people.

"Besides, that country is also in a state of isolation... Because they are very rational, knowledgeable, and noble people, I really want to get their help..."

"Eh? Meredith, have you ever been to the land of the Dragon People? No, rather, aren't the Dragon People just a legend?"

Oscar couldn't help but ask.

The Dragonites are a mythical race capable of transforming into dragons. Their nation is a legend that appears in children's picture books—of course, as evil dragons.

A ferocious dragon, fond of treasure and demanding beautiful women as sacrifices, wreaks havoc and is always waiting to be vanquished by heroes. At least that's how it is in the stories mainlanders have known since childhood.

"That's the church's manipulation of their image. The real them is the exact opposite of what's said."

“I-I see…”

"Yes, that's why they don't appear in this world."

Meredith gazed into the distance with a wistful look, recalling some memory. However, perhaps the touch of Mel's hand on her hair tickled her, and she quickly snapped back to reality, wanting to reach for her head.

"No, Xiao Mi!"

“Wow!? W-What happened!?”
