Chapter 114 is up.



Spoiler:

Part 1:



Eins, Marves, and Saiguu Touri are discussing their course of action now that Rayneshia has rejected the prospect of marriage, and whatever the result of Shiroe’s decision was. We get some more background on the Debauchery Tea Party from the eyes of an outsider; Eins talks about how tons of nasty rumors, particularly targeted at Kanami and Shiroe, flared up on anonymous discussion boards. The Tea Party underwent a great deal of abuse, slander, and harassment for their successes.



In fact, because Honesty’s guild chat was so overwhelmed with those rumors, treating them as fact, Eins created its information-sharing policy to divert their attention to something more productive and less ugly. Even he, too, was jealous of the Tea Party, though he did not voice that opinion aloud. He mentions how it’s human nature to create factions and scramble for a profit, how even a game society separate from the real world will undergo the same thing. He mentions how children in school get bullied and are driven to suicide for similar reasons. For slight differences in neighborhood, wearing nice clothes, having their hair done a certain way, being good at running–even without any murderous intent, a clique’s petty actions can lead to another person’s death.



As it turns out, Marves and Saiguu Touri are both opposing the Senate, which is embroiled in battle against Nureha’s faction at the moment. Although the Landers practically worshiped the Saiguu family, their actual power is weak. Saiguu Touri has become tired of the Senate which does not understand the value of that which has been lost. Even now, in the face of monsters they know nothing about, they adamantly refuse to work with Eastal. He doesn’t want to repeat the past mistake of in-fighting when they should be focusing on something greater (referring to the chaos sewn by the Ruquinje when they pit the Humans, Dwarves, and Elves against each other). Eins chose to side with Saiguu Touri because he believes this man will lead to something greater.



Part 2:



Rayneshia prepares herself for the vote that would be held. She and Eins are in competition for the title of Akiba Duke, and right now, the odds are in Eins’ favor. He holds a large amount of support from Landers, and Marves has proven himself quite capable in directing the distribution and management of items for Landers. Because most Landers have low levels, low-level HP recovery potions are quite potent on them, so directing relief efforts for them is easy for Marves.



With refugees steadily flowing into Akiba, Eins directed the members of Honesty to assist in the relief effort. While they were initially begrudging, when they saw instant proof of their work–unlike with the Fairy Ring research–they became much more enthusiastic about it. Eins took this opportunity to push his new Akiba Government and gained a large amount of supporters.



Part 3:



For Landers, who don’t really understand the concept of a “vote,” election day became more of a festival. The streets were thoroughly cleaned, store signs wiped down, and pleasant aromas rose from the myriad stalls. Everyone has gotten into their finest clothes for this occasion.



Meanwhile, Eins has set up a stage near the Silverleaf Tree. While he has an overwhelming amount of support, he can’t shake his feeling of uneasiness, and feels compelled to make a last speech. However, as he begins, he realizes he doesn’t have any words to say. After all, he was the start of this whole situation. It was because Honesty withdrew from the Round Table that it fell apart. It was because he was unable to persuade his fellow Round Table representatives that he withdrew. But was it really he who closed off his heart, and not them? Just like now, he failed to have the right words to say to them.



He manages to pull himself together and finds the words to express himself. It’s not about the other party’s deficiencies, it’s about what you want to do better. It’s about what he wants to do to make this city better.



Just as Eins is about to give his closing remarks, a whistling sound comes from afar, and rainbow-colored bubbles emerge. Dozens of Griffons fly up amid flapping wings. It was a scene that was familiar in the game, but had not yet been seen in Theldesia. The Transport Gates have reactivated.
