321. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [92]
「Just in case… All of this isn’t public knowledge, so keep this confidential, okay?」
「Yes, I understand.」
A massacre occurred in one of the former Five Great Powers.
If such news was released to the public, it would cause global panic.
Regulating information is a very natural decision.
「But then, president… Why did Barrel Ronelia welcome one of the Seven Holy Swords, Von Mustang, into the Black Organization?」
If you were really afraid of a coup d’etat, the Seven Holy Swords would be the first thing you want to erase.
「Hmm, I don’t really understand that either. He is a perfectionist, but perhaps he values meritocracy even more than that?」
「Meritocracy, huh…」
It doesn’t really make sense, but thinking about it isn’t going to provide any answer.
「Well, anyway, no one can trust Barrel unless they have information on him that can be exploited as weakness. That’s why the heads of the four great powers didn’t leak the information.」
「I see…」
Weakness, huh.
「Next suspects would be the Seven Holy Swords, but… they’re even more unlikely to have been the traitors.」
The president shrugged with a bitter smile.
「The Seven Holy Swords that were selected as the “postman” this time… How do I say this… In many ways, they are all people with problematic personalities.」
