In a Different World with a Smartphone Chapter 393: The Two-World Conference, and Fire and Ice.

On this day, the [Two-World Conference] was held.

As the host country for the [Two-World Conference]that sounds rather grandiose, but to be honest, all Brunhild is doing is providing a venue for the conference, as well as requesting for cooperation in our preparation against the variants.

Also, when disagreements occur between other countries, if its something we can help to resolve, then we will lend a hand. Brunhilds position in the world is something like that.

It was like this since back when we were only the Western Alliance, but it becomes more of a party than a conference every time. Its now basically the norm since we just followed the flow every single time.

Here and there in the venue, while having friendly conversations, various talks between nations are being exchanged.

Since there are representatives from the Reverse World countries present here, theres no lack of conversation partners.

On a side note, the countries weve invited this time from the other side are:

Primula Kingdom.

Trihalan God-Empire.

Strain Kingdom.

Holy Kingdom Alent.

Garudio Empire.

Raze Martial Kingdom.

Panashes Kingdom.

The above seven.

Ive asked the Demonoid King of Demonoid Kingdom Helgaia on his intent to participate as well, and he decided to pass on this occasion. Since he had finally begun interacting with Egret, I suppose he isnt keen on appearing in this kind of event so readily yet.

While Ive met with the rulers of Primula, Trihalan, Strain and Panashes, this is my first time meeting the rulers of Alent, Garudio and Raze.

The young new emperor of Garudio, Lancelet Rig Garudio. After the clash with Eisengard, since Imperial Prince Lucrecion renounced his right to succession, he became the one who would succeed as the next emperor.

We exchanged greetings earlier, and he felt like a serious young man to me. When Yumina, who was following me, looked at him with her mystic eyes, she confirmed that he was indeed possessed of a straightforward disposition as a person.

As theyre fellow young rulers of the same generation, hes currently having fun talking with Lestias knight king and Lihneas King Cloud. I hope they become friends.

Next is Holy Kingdom Alents Holy King, Garaud Zess Alent.

Even though hes close to sixty, he was a large-bodied man who doesnt look nearly as old as what his age suggests. A grim face and the white beard. Hed be a good match against Baba jii- san.

I was totally imagining a slender, delicate-looking man since hes called holy king and all Well, we have an unbalanced leader in the form of the macho man whos king of the kingdom of magic here in our world as well, so.

Holy Kingdom Alent was apparently a country formed by a hero who unified the surrounding tribes with guidance from the spirits.

Due to that, it has a deep-rooted faith in spirits, and spirits are referred to as holy spirits in the country, apparently. (Note: spirit and holy spirit are pronounced the same in Japanese: both being seirei.)

When I told him that I can use spirit magic, at first, he thought it was something similar to summoning magic, and was angry at me saying Using holy spirit-sama as servants! and other things along that line.

However, after I explained to him that spirit magic is a magic in which the caster seeks for cooperation from the contracted spirit through communicating with it, he honestly apologized.

Since theres coincidentally another person who can call out a spirit here in the venue, I introduced him to Eashens Shirohime-sama, and asked her to call out her contracted spirit (whos also her mother), the spirit of snow.

I couldve done the spirit summoning myself, but I asked Shirohime-sama to do it, thinking that it could be a good opportunity for them to know each other better as fellow monarchs; however, the result was a failure.

The Holy King, who saw a spirit for the first time, started praying to the spirit of snow on the spot. It was likely quite embarrassing; the spirit of snow promptly returned to the Spirit Realm with a bright red face.

When I promised to provide beginner magic tomes about spirit magic to him, he held my hand and gave his thanks to me rather exaggeratedly. My hand hurts

Well, thats still the better one. The problem is another

I desire a bout with Mochizuki Takeru-dono.

No, like I said

The one whos drawing closer to me with glittering eyes while saying that is the king of Raze Martial Kingdom. The Martial King, Gimlet Gal Raze.

Hes the father of Prince Zanbert, who came to our country and got beaten up hard the other day. Of course, hes also a dragonkin A dragonewt.

Hes a macho old man who feels like the result of putting an extra round of muscle on his son. Various scars could be seen on his visible neck and wrists.

Unfortunately for him, Takeru ojii had went on a training trip together with his two disciples, Ende and Elze. Hell probably come back by sunset, but in either case, I dont really want to see something like the king of a country getting blown away by one hit.

Have you not heard from your son about what happened when he fought Takeru ojii?

I dont need to; I can tell that he got blown away in one hit. Ever since then, my sons arrogance had disappeared, and hes diligently making effort these days. Im thankful to you guys from the bottom of my heart. Thats why, Id like to have a bout with my sons benefactor.

No, that logics weird, okay.

How does that lead to this. Arent you mixing a bunch of sophism together to hide the fact that you just want to fight, you old man? The way youre carrying the conversation over is a bit too forceful.

If its Moroha nee-san or Karina nee-san then theyre available, but the result will be the same, so I dont really want to do it.

As I was worried over how to handle this, a helping hand came from a weird direction.

If its a fight you want, how about I take you on, o Martial King of a foreign country?

Mu?

At the friendship party after the conference, His Majesty the Mismede Beast King came towards us while saying that. Another troublesome Oi, the Mismede warriors behind you are facepalming, you know.

You are Mismede Kingdoms

Ou. I happen to like fighting strong people as well, you see. I feel like I can fight without restraints if its against you; how about it?

Nonono. Isnt it weird for fellow kings to interact with each other like that? And Im trying to make you guys become friendly with each other too.

Is there a good location?

The knight orders training grounds is behind this place. How about there?

I see. Alright, lets do it.

With a grin, the Martial King began leaving the room together with the Beast King.

Wai-, you seriously going to do it!?

Dont worry, Touya-dono. We wont hold any grudges even if we lose, and isnt the training field here made so that we wont die inside it?

Well, it is made that way, but

Our training field is set up so that if a life-threatening injury was sustained by someone inside, it would automatically cast [Mega Heal], [Recovery] and [Refresh] on them.

As for why I made something like that, its because Im worried Moroha nee-san might do something stupid when Im not looking. People like the Lestia Knight King come to spar with her from time to time, too. As expected, I wouldnt feel at ease if I dont put up some kind of countermeasures.

When I thought about it, its an out in the first place for Lestias Knight King to get beaten up by Moroha nee-san, isnt it If so, does that mean theres no problem to the two kings fighting each other?

As I tilted my head with a Unn, Her Majesty the Strain Queen tapped me on the shoulder.

Itll be fine. Razes Martial King is someone who respects his opponents, and abhors acts of mixing personal sentiments into political affairs.

Even if you say that, Im still worried, so I had Yae and Hilda follow them. I asked them to stop the two if anything happened even if they had to use force.

Following the two, the Raze and Mismede guards also went out of the room while sighing. The subordinates sure have it tough when the tops are muscleheads I feel sorry for them.

That reminds me, were there any refugees from Eisengard arriving in Strain?

After making some small talks for a while, Yumina presented the question to Her Majesty the Strain Queen. Ah, right, I was curious about that too. There shouldve been quite a few people who abandoned that country and escaped to other countries lately.

Although its not as much as Garudio, we do have a number of them who reached our shores. However, to start anew on an unknown land isnt something easy by all means. There are some who fear that they may become thieves or bandits due to a lack of resources.

While its unfortunate, that possibility is rather large, isnt it.

According to the reports from Bastet and Anubis, a lot of strange things are occurring within Eisengard right now.

I understand how they would want to escape to get rid of their unease, but going to another country and becoming bandits there is nothing but causing trouble for others.

The issue of refugees is a headache no matter what age or world were in, eh. Although its still not anything big right now, we dont know what it may develop into in the future.

Just what is happening in Eisengard, I wonder?

Were investigating that right now. Unless its for a matter of great importance, I dont recommend going over to that place. Itd be good for us to stay cautious regarding this case.

Do you mean to say that Eisengard might be attacking us?

Well, I dont know if itll actually be Eisengard, though.

Im firm in my belief that variant ruler-classes are behind this. The ones I know of are Yura, who had a hand in creating the evil god, and the twin ruler-classes, Leto and Luto, who Ende mentioned; however, there may be more aside from those three. I should ask about this from Nei, whos together with the Phrases sovereign, Mel. They were once comrades, so.

Over in your world Wait, its just another continent now, isnt it. Over in your continent, has there been any rumors of unrest or conflicts?

Rumors of unrest, is it Right, Ive heard that the dispute between Ice Nation Zadonia and Flame Nation Dauburn is intensifying recently.

Zadonia and Dauburn? Etto, they are countries that are located to the north of Holy Kingdom Alent, right. Ive heard about their bad relationship with each other before.

Those two countries are like cats and dogs If Zadonia says something is right, Dauburn would definitely disagree; if word comes out that Dauburn imported some new model of armed golems, Zadonia would also import those new golems in defiance to Dauburn. Ever since the two countries were created, theyve been competing with each other like that; its basically a tradition.

Like cats and dogs, eh. There were countries like that back on Earth as well, wasnt there.

Zadonia is a country covered in snow, and Dauburn is a desert country; even though theyre neighbors, their environments are completely different. Its been passed down in the two countries that the reason lies with the other.

Passed down? Do they not know of the exact reason why that is the case?

I do not know that much. I only know that something was stolen.

Stolen? By which side?

By both sides.

What is that. When I asked about it in detail, apparently both countries have denounced the other one as a thief. I dont really get this situation.

Since Alents Holy King is apparently more knowledgeable about this topic, I went to ask him about it.

Ah, that story? I heard that the ancient documents they possess claimed that Zadonia earned the ire of the goddess of ice, and Dauburn was cursed by a
