…What is with those arms?
Tenzou observed their surroundings at a few steps away from Masazumi.
…She is on the lookout for anyone trying anything.
Satomi Yoshiyasu was unfazed, perhaps because she had seen them already. Or because she knew she had helped earn these.
Similarly, Mogami Yoshiaki hid her mouth behind her fan, but there was obvious anticipation in her eyes. She was interested in seeing what would happen next.
In that case, thought Tenzou as he looked to someone else.
Behind him, he heard cries of "ohhh" and "kyahhh" from the girls, but he knew turning around to look would be too dangerous.
He set optical reflection on a sign frame and added a glossy affect to reflect the scene behind him.
The narrow frame showed Mary shaking her head with her hands on her cheeks and the girls surrounding her and cheering her on.
Tenzou had a thought when he saw the surprised blush and smile on Mary's face.
…If such a short exchange can inspire that much emotion, we need to speak more often.
Of course, Mary still would not look right at him.
Our merchant and his aide are too quick to throw out their dignity.
At any rate, Masazumi viewed the Logismoi Oplo containers and spoke.
When Masazumi agreed with that, Tenzou realized what the Punishment of Houjou had been all about.
…That really was a kind of "war".
Now he understood why Mogami had been the first to descend from their diplomatic ship.
Musashi had only achieved that victory and this situation because of Mogami and Satomi.
The fox and the dog had done well.
…Come to think of it, we also have a wolf, Uqui-dono is a dragon, and there's the Suzaku, so we have an awful lot of animals. But I guess covering the entire zodiac would be hoping for too much.
But Tenzou had another thought about Genan's self-deprecating smile.
Genan must have predicted this situation. According to the Testament, Houjou Genan had served the Houjou clan across three generations, so that expression must have come from the experience that had provided.
Yoshiyasu saw Musashi's princess step out from the Musashi group to approach the Mouri group.
She crouched down and kept looking to either side while jogging toward Mouri.
While averting her gaze, she quickly opened the containers and immediately shoved the contents into the storage space behind her.
Mouri Terumoto responded to the action.
When everyone shouted that, Musashi's princess looked around and then waved her hands side to side.
But Musashi's princess glanced back at her storage space as she continued.
Musashi's princess raised her right hand toward Mouri Terumoto.
Terumoto glared at Musashi's princess as she pulled a parchment receipt from her storage space.
Yoshiyasu watched Terumoto's glaring intensify as she filled out the form as asked.
Why would you expect sense around here? wondered Yoshiyasu.
…But this means two Logismoi Oplo have been returned to Musashi.
Yoshiyasu saw the Musashi Vice President give a quick nod to Mouri Terumoto.
Terumoto did not hide what she thought.
She spread her mouth horizontally and felt her lips bending into a smile, but she did not stop it.
She looked straight ahead to the Musashi Vice President.
Ever since the Siege of Odawara, this girl had never let up. She refused to go along with what Terumoto wanted.
She always read between the lines, figured out what was really going on, and ensured her side's safety throughout.
She might look like an ally, but she was behaving a lot like an enemy.
Where had she learned to be so cautious?
There must have been a time when that girl had hid herself, observed the other person's behavior, and acted accordingly.
…In my case, it was my life in the reservation.
What had made this girl like this?
Terumoto recalled that the Musashi Vice President's father was on Musashi's Provisional Council. He must have trained her to be like this.
…Did she learn how powerful nations do things at England and Magdeburg?
There was a somewhat troublesome thing about the Musashi Vice President.
…She's really acclimated herself to Musashi's weirdness.
It can't be fun being one of the original owners, thought Masazumi without taking her eyes off of Mouri Terumoto.
Houjou Genan knew that, hence the self-deprecation.
If returning the Logismoi Oplo was all there was, he would have had no reason to smile like that. He would only have smiled bitterly in order to say "it's over".
…They have some other silly thing to do.
Even after returning the Logismoi Oplo, there was still something worth laughing at themselves over.
…I'm betting it has to do with that.
A mystery diplomatic ship was landing beyond the Mouri one.
That was an awful conclusion to reach.
But if they were preventing anyone from seeing inside, they must really not want anyone to know what nation they were from.
…And they're waiting until after the meeting.
That meant Terumoto's plan and Genan's self-deprecation were both about something after the meeting. In that case, Mouri would not be the center of the discussion.
Masazumi turned to face the person she needed to speak with now. That meant looking away from Terumoto.
Asama opened a targeting spell around her.
The foundation was built on Branch and Leaf Connection, the targeting spiritual protection spell created to defend the Ariake. A hemispherical ether turret was displayed overhead like a compass and it spun around.
That was true, but what else could she do? Also, she was not using this to shoot someone this time.
Branch and Leaf Connection's crosshairs aligned at a position just above eye level in the southeastern sky.
The target was approximately 3km away.
The anti-virus protection the Asama Shrine had built seemed to be working because Ootani was all the way out there.
The half a celestial sphere opened around Asama was targeting something in the distance.
…An M.H.R.R. Catholic-style sign frame.
Once she had it targeted, she opened a telescope sight. She then displayed an enlarged version of the image above the entire meeting space like it was a ceiling painting.
There was some static in the image, but it definitely showed Ootani.
But something was off about him in that Catholic sign frame.
Masazumi could be pretty cruel. But then she pointed up at the overhead sign frame and looked back at Asama.
Setting it up was simple enough. This created a greater processing load, but she could fix that by trimming the FPS by 2 or 3. So she did so.
She placed the image of Ootani below them so the various national representatives were surrounding it.
He was an incredibly well made virus, but Asama felt like this kind of defeated the purpose.
At any rate, Masazumi raised her right hand. She stuck her right arm out to the side and she pointed to the sky with the white glove on her raised right forearm.
And she looked up so suddenly she seemed to shatter the atmosphere. She was looking at Ootani. And at Hashiba who she knew had to be watching too.
She was making sure her words reached Hashiba and she clenched her raised right hand.
"Well? Can you hear me, Hashiba? Is this reaching you, P.A. Oda? There's still a lot we don't know and you might be snickering at our ignorance, but we will still use the world's current rules to pursue you. So use your interpretations, Hashiba. If you don't want us on your tail, then use your interpretations and use the 'proper' distortions of forced Testament compliance to endure our attacks. …We welcome it. After all, we have an idiot on our side and everyone who supports us has changed or is changing. At the very least, we are not alone. We won't let any of us be alone, so we will continue forward in search of something. That is what we and our nation will do. If we're missing anything, we will accept something to fill that gap. The borderline of universal acceptance is plenty large, so all we need to do is continue forward.
"What stands in our way? You.
"So make your decision, Hashiba and P.A. Oda. We will simply grant the history you have forced on us all. If you will force the rules of the Testament onto the world and its nations and if you will bet people's lives on the result, we will give you the history you want.
Masazumi did not take a breath after she finished.
She held her breath for a few seconds before slowly inhaling.
This was the turning point leading to the end of the Thirty Years' War.
But unlike the Age of the Gods described in the Testament, the M.H.R.R. Catholics, who included Hashiba, had not lost their national strength. So the other nations feared their interpretive "defeat" and revenge.
The European nations in particular would be reliant on Hexagone Française.
And the result of the flooding of Paris would have only strengthened that reliance.
So it would be dangerous to just let the Kantou Liberation happen. Mouri and Hexagone Française would increase their international reputation and Musashi could be limited to Kantou, or at best nowhere west of the Tokai region, in order to provide assistance.
…So we need to announce our hostile stance against Hashiba before the Kantou Liberation.
The flooding of Paris had been good PR for Hexagone Française, but it helped Musashi too.
It had proven that Hashiba and M.H.R.R. were not unbeatable.
The world's nations now had two options. When considering their opposition to M.H.R.R. and Hashiba, they could either rely on Hexagone Française or join with Musashi.
"True," agreed Naruze on a divine transmission.
No, that was not the issue.
For one thing, they could not wait until after the Kantou Liberation to challenge Hashiba.
She more or less knew what was going to happen now.
Yeah, I guess a lot of our people wouldn't understand what I'm talking about… thought Masazumi while mentally looking down at the floor. But her response was simple.
So that's it, thought Yoshiyasu as she came to understand what everyone was doing here.
…We can assume P.A. Oda will begin a new system during summer break.
That would be a threat to the nearby nations and Kantou as a whole.
Of course, this had been fairly predictable, so those nations would have been completing crucial history recreations in advance to avoid the threat.
But it felt more real now that all the pieces had been gathered.
"Judge," agreed Yoshiyasu as she came to understand something else.
This was why Hashiba had sent a novice like Kani to the Siege of Odawara.
She had also heard Ikeda Terumasa had started rebuilding the Shirasagi Castle in the mountains of west Kantou.
…They're raising their next generation to be immediately useful after the break.
In that case, began Yoshiyasu in her heart.
They could not wait until after the Kantou Liberation to challenge Hashiba.
Afterwards, Hashiba could just claim they were beginning summer break and build themselves back up from there.
If P.A. Oda said there were no more history recreations to be fulfilled at the moment, they could declare their territory inviolable and guarantee a new invasion under a new system after the break.
Yoshiyasu recalled what Musashi's Vice President had said in the bathhouse earlier.
…Musashi might not be able to take part in the Kantou Liberation.
She knew what that must have meant.
And she knew what the Musashi Vice President must be thinking.
She also knew how they would do that.
Masazumi nodded at Urquiaga's comment.
After shouting in text form, the idiot physically ran over. He was pale, soaked with a cold sweat, and holding his shoulders.
Asama and Mitotsudaira tensed at that and the idiot sister placed a hand on their shoulders.
But the idiot raised his hands toward the heavens.
"Fat chance of that," muttered the others. Then the idiot said more while entirely oblivious to Horizon cracking her neck behind him.
Horizon sent her right knuckle into the idiot's temple.
He slowly collapsed to the side and Horizon raised her right hand.
So would she have let him continue if not for that? But Masazumi had a thought as she watched Horizon pick the idiot up by the collar and Asama and Mitotsudaira quickly run over.
…Summer break is important, isn't it?
"Wow…" said everyone in shock.
It sounded like a novel new regulation was in the works, but this opposite extreme would be a problem too.
"Anyway," said Masazumi while holding out her hands to stop the others.
Masazumi saw Ootani moving on the targeting sign frame opened on the deck.
He had a small sign frame opened by his hands and he turned to face them. His oversized head stared at them with the hollow eyes below his ether helmet.
Everyone tensed as Ootani's voice rang out.
He held his small sword in front of him like a staff.

One Civilian Dead, Over a Dozen Injured in Protests After Militant Naikoo's Death
Image for Representation.
Pulwama: One civilian was killed in a protest that broke out in a village in Awantipora after the killing of Reyaz Naikoo, a most wanted terrorist and the so-called chief of banned terror group Hizbul Mujahideen, officials said on Wednesday.
Protestors pelted stones at the security forces when they were withdrawing from the encounter site at Beighpora in Awantipora area of Pulwama district, 40 kms from here.
The civilian was buried after the necessary formalities were completed by the hospital authorities, they said.
Taking a cue from North Kashmir where authorities did not handover the body of a 14-year-old boy who was killed in cross fire to his family members to avoid a large gathering at the funeral, the local residents kept the death of the civilian a secret till the time of his burial.
Mohammad Hazim Bhat, 14, was killed in a brief shootout when militants opened fire on a CRPF patrol party at Wangam-Qaziabad in Kralgund area of the north Kashmir district on Monday.
Three CRPF jawans were killed in the incident, police said, adding that a civilian, Bhat, was also found dead at the scene of the incident. However, Bhat's body was not handed over to his family and instead was laid to rest in a graveyard more than 30 kilometres away from his village.
At least four other persons have suffered bullet injuries and 12 others were admitted to the hospital with pellet wounds, they said, adding, the condition of all of them was stable.
Naikoo, who had been evading arrest for the last eight years, was killed in an encounter with security forces this afternoon along with a fellow terrorist.
In a separate encounter in the same district, security forces carried out a cordon and search operation at Sarshali following intelligence inputs that terrorists were hiding there.
During the cordon and search operations, terrorists fired at the approaching police party and in the ensuing encounter two terrorists belonging to Pakistan-based Lashker-e-Taiba terror group were killed.

The Archaeological Sites of Bat, Al-Khutm and Al-Ayn () are a group of necropoleis from the 3rd Millennium BC, located near a palm grove. They were declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 1988.

History or prehistory

Studies during the last 15 years have shown the existence of numerous human settlements ranging from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman.

Bat
The site of Bat is located inside a palm grove. Around 3000 B.C., there was an intense trade of copper (extracted locally) and stone (probably diorite) with Sumerians. The necropolis consists of 100 graves and circular buildings each with a diameter of about . These buildings have no outside openings, so besides the possibility of their ritualistic function, they may have been used as tanks or silos. Their precise function is as of yet unknown. In 1972, the excavations carried out by a Danish team led by Karen Frifelt showed that the area has been continuously inhabited for 4000 years.

Al-Khutm
The ruins at Al-Khutm are thought to have derived from a stone fort, with a tower made of rock with a diameter of . They are located  west of Bat.

Al-Ayn
Al-Ayn is a small necropolis, although it is in the best condition of the three necropolises. It is located  southeast of Bat.

Conservation
The sites have not been subjected to restoration or other types of conservation before the protection provided by UNESCO, so their isolation has been their only protection. One of the greatest dangers concerning the sites preservation comes from locals who take building material from the archaeological sites.

Development
A road between Oman and Saudi Arabia, which goes through the villages, was completed in September 2021.

Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is close to retirement. Perhaps that's why he's not mincing his words.
Or perhaps a new determination is growing in the US government to force Pakistan into changing its ways.
Before a Senate hearing on Thursday, Admiral Mullen stated definitively that Pakistani intelligence was supporting militant extremists in Afghanistan as they launch attacks on US forces there.
"The Haqqani network, for one, acts as a veritable arm of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence Agency," said Adm Mullen.
Rarely if ever have we heard such a senior figure make the accusation so publicly, with such specific information attached to it.
The admiral referred to an attack using a truck bomb, which injured nearly 80 coalition troops south of Kabul earlier this month and the attack on the US embassy and other official buildings in Kabul last week.
"With ISI support, Haqqani operatives planned and conducted that truck bomb attack, as well as the assault on our embassy."
No caveats there: his language suggests that the US has conclusive proof of Pakistani support for those Haqqani operatives, not just intelligence that might suggest involvement.
Jeffrey Dessler, at the Institute for the Study of War in Washington DC, has produced influential analyses of the Haqqani network.
He has long pointed to a relationship between the Haqqanis and the Pakistani intelligence service.
But recent events, he says, are trying the patience of the White House and Pentagon.
"My sense is there's been something of a sea change within government, and now there's less of a willingness to put up with this," he says.
"The attack on the US embassy compound marked something of a new chapter. It was an attack directly on US personnel and it was very high profile."
Analysts say that the ISI helps train and resource the Haqqanis, who are allied with the Taliban.
The militant group's roots lie in the war against the Soviet Union. Now it operates in Afghanistan's eastern provinces, flitting across the Pakistani border to sanctuary.
In perhaps the most telling part of his testimony, Adm Mullen attacked Pakistani grand strategy - particularly its use of militant groups like the Haqqanis as "proxies" to increase Pakistani leverage in the region.
"They may believe that by using these proxies they are hedging their bets, or redressing what they feel is an imbalance of regional power," he said.
"Only a decision to break with this policy can pave the road to a positive future for Pakistan."
Here, the Admiral is calling on the Pakistanis to reconsider their entire approach to regional security - a very tall order and not something that would happen in a year or two, even if the Pakistanis assented.
The relationship between Washington and Islamabad appears to be hitting new lows.
Pakistan complained loudly and publicly of the American raid on Abbottabad which killed Osama Bin Laden.
In July, the US announced it would withhold hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to Pakistan.
And now, the Americans are very publicly accusing Pakistan of stunning duplicity.
The United States has a number of ways of increasing pressure on the Haqqanis and the Pakistani state.
Drone strikes and covert operations - conducted with or without the approval of the Pakistani authorities - can be directed against the militant network.
American aid - to the tune of $4bn (£2.6bn) dollars a year - can be reduced or made conditional.
But Adm Mullen was careful to say that the US was not about to cut Pakistan loose.
"What matters most now is moving forward," he said, arguing that America must work for security and prosperity in Pakistan.
It is accepted wisdom in Washington that there can be no end to conflict in Afghanistan, and no true stability in South Asia, until Pakistan enjoys a measure of stability and security.
But the Admiral's testimony indicates Washington's intense frustration at Pakistan and the lethal tactics of its shadowy intelligence services.
Where all this may lead - what options the Americans may be considering - is unclear.
But the Americans are now laying the ground for change.
