-Big Sis, that new toy of yours is in a bit of trouble with the Kinokians.
A cheerful voice came from the communication device placed at the big round table.
-I can see that, but at the moment, he is holding his own, which is quite remarkable for someone who just arrived in the Battle-verse.
The demones said with a charming smile and a glint of genuine interest in her eyes.
-Yes, and not only that, but he is in the process of recapturing the territories that had mutinied earlier, and even took out a fleet of an enemy faction while he is at it.
An ancient voice stated with a hint of enjoyment in its tone.
-Let's not forget the fleet of the moon elves, which just entered his territory.
According to my information, they arrived to aid in his defense as allies and gain some battle experience while they are at it.
-I saw their progress, and I have to admit that this guy is very interesting.
A voice, belonging to the alien who loved war, chimed in.
-Yes, he is.
The demones smiled.
-Interesting enough that there are two more from the first thousand eying his empire now.
She added.
-There is more.
Another female voice, slow and sounding as if the owner were bored, sounded out.
-Oh, nice of you to join us.
The cheerful voice said, hearing the voice that seldom spoke.
-It seems that you found a good way to relieve my boredom, so I decided to join in on the fun.
-What do you mean by saying that there is more?
The demones asked.
-Just a minor detail, that my spies dug out, when I told them to investigate this Lantean Empire, and no, I don't have any spies in this empire, at least not yet.
The bored female said.
-The information I got suggests that not only elves, but many other star nations are preparing to send envoys to establish diplomatic relations with the Lanteans.
Moreover, they are preparing their fleets to try to copy the moon elves' approach and send their inexperienced crews to aid the Lantean Empire.
-Oh, this whole thing seems to be getting more and more interesting.
Another voice said, in a tone that suggested their interests were piqued.
-We are not sending any diplomats to my mark, so don't even try.
The demones warned the new voice.
-You're such a killjoy.
The voice said with regret in it.
-Sis, would you allow me to send my merchant instead?
The cheerful female asked, hopefully.
-This empire is selling many things on the market, and I'd like to get some of them and see what else they have to offer while I'm at it.
Additionally, this would be a great opportunity to get some more information.
She explained that before the demones could reject the idea, and it worked as the beautiful sadist, stopped to think about it for a moment.
-That's not a bad idea.
She finally said.
-You can proceed, but no tricks, and I want the information you gather as soon as you get it, and if you find anything I'd like, buy it for me.
-Of course, thank you, sis.
The cheerful voice said even more happily now.
-You are so biased.
The bored-sounding female said.
-She is my little sister after all, and unlike all of you, she knows not to spoil my fun while having hers.
The demones said with a smile.
-Whatever the case, I'm getting bored, and if I can't play with your new toy, I'm going after the Kinokians.
The war-loving alien stated.
-I don't care what you do with the Kinokians, but wait a bit longer before you have your fun with them.
I want to see what my mark will be able to do when he faces their actual fleet.
-Why do you even want to attack the Kinokians?
An ancient-sounding voice asked.
-Even if you take their whole nation down, you won't get anything in return since we can't remove them from the planets, and their galaxy's resources are almost nonexistent.
-In his case, it's not about the gains, but the thrill of battle.
A scholarly voice stated with a note of disappointment in its tone.
-Damn right it is.
The war-like alien boomed.
-Do whatever you want, but it seems that a War Period is coming, so you might want to preserve your forces, since it seems that this time it's going to be a big one.
-Please, as if dealing with these low-lives would hinder my forces in any way.
-It might not hinder them, but knowing you and your command style, you will incur losses.
Additionally, the other nations from the thousand might not be too happy about it, so I'd advise you to just send a fleet or two to burn a few systems and a few fleets.
That should keep you entertained for a while.
The ancient voice said.
-Now that I think about it, sending a smaller fleet might be a bit challenging.
I like this idea.
The warmonger said after thinking for a moment.
-Good, but you'd better wait before you act.
The Kinokians are mobilizing their proper fleet to throw at the Lantean Empire.
If you wait for the right moment, then your arrival should incite quite a bit of chaos in the Kinokian territories.
The scholarly voice said.
-How long?
The impatient alien asked.
-I think that two days should be enough, after that you can go wild.
The demones answered.
-Two days it is, I just hope that this new toy of yours can hold out for that long.
-Well, I'm not waiting for two days or risking the stuff that I want to buy from them.
I'm going right now.
The cheerful merchant said with a bit of panic in her voice.
-Wait, you want to go yourself?
The demesnes asked, surprised as it had been a while since her little sister had gone to conduct business personally.
-Of course.
I want to see this empire with my own eyes, and I also want to try on the clothes they have to offer, not to mention trying their food, which I hear is delicious.
-You do know that if they discover who you are, you are going to be in a lot of trouble?
The bored voice became a bit livelier.
-Yeah, right, like there is anyone in there who could match me in combat.
The merchant stated with a sneer.
-If not for my sister's fun, I could take their whole station alone, and you know it.
-Alright, go and have fun, but no taking over the station.
The demones sighed while shaking her head.
As much as she liked this little sister of hers, she sometimes wondered if there was anything else on her mind except for trade, combat, and having fun.
-Got it, sis, I'll bring you some good stuff if I find any.
The cheerful merchant said, and her device gave off a beeping sound as she disconnected and went to get ready.
