「Fi, fire!」

That cry rang out all of a sudden and resounded throughout the embassy. Startled by that cry, people rushed out into the corridors from their rooms and offices, only to see smoke billowing downwards from the third-floor corridor. The moment they realized what they were seeing, they also heard the crackling of fire burning.

Confusion and chaos immediately swept through the embassy, and people began to ditch their work and scramble to get out of the building. Even Heuss, who was planning to contact Mrazine and have Yui placed under house arrest, was no exception.

「A fire?! This is absurd! Shit, why at a time like this?」
