The population that had been on the rise suddenly began to plummet. All the technology of the world was now focused in the empire.

If only the radiation that polluted the world could be removed…no, even that…

–What if all of it had been planned?

Every incident may look unrelated when viewed by themselves, but if looked at from a bird’s eye view, you might see a different picture.

It all seemed to move too conveniently for the empire.

“Then!! Are you saying that it was all planned by the emperor!?”

Sharma shouted in horror.

However, Michelle remained calm.

“I have no proof. Even circumstantial evidence is weak. Still, it is also true that the dots connect when considered in this way. And that is why I have been investigating in secret.”

She continued calmly.

And then…

“And so, I want people that I can trust. Please, will you help me?”

She said.

……….

……

…

They all sat in silence.

They were unsure about how they should react.

They didn’t know if they should say yes or no.

It was in this oppressive atmosphere that Veldora’s laugh suddenly echoed.

“Kaaahahahahaha! Help you? Very well! We were just talking about crushing this empire or whatever you call it. So it is perfect. Of course, you will also help, won’t you?”

He said as he put a hand on Zaza’s shoulder.

“Hey, what!? You know, you really should…”

Zaza was confused, but he soon made up his mind.

“Well, I had already offered my life to General Michelle. And so I will believe that this is for the good of the rest of humanity!”

He said. Then he smiled at the laughing Veldora.

Next, it was Karman and his men.

“Huh. In that case, I will also help you. If the great war really had been planned from the beginning, it would make everything I have done up until now a joke. I cannot stand the thought. Can the rest of you?”
