Once the festival night event was over, all the first through third year students belonging to the martial arts department were gathered in the great hall, where they were informed about the recovery plan by the Student Council.

But Emile Crossfode was not in this great room … Emilia Hermit, rather, Emilia Gudenburg. The high command would share the information that has been confirmed. There, the true ident.i.ty of the young woman would be revealed to the comrades of the martial arts department.

The excitement of the evening event still did not appease, but the interior astonishingly entered in silence with the opening of the front doors of the great hall. Those who entered were Claire, Liddy and Erika, members of the Student Council.

- Thanks to everyone for waiting.

Standing in front of the podium, Claire started talking.

- To begin, following the greeting of the festival night event, I want to thank each and every one of you, for protecting Little Garden from the hands of the terrorist Vitaly Tynyanov.

** Applause ** ** Applause ** Sounds of hands clashing, as if they were fighting against each other, dominated the great hall.

Once it returned to silence, Claire continued her speech.

- Thanks to the daily training that everyone performs, there are no human losses to regret. However, part of the inst.i.tution was destroyed and many people were injured, including the Student Council. As a representative of Warslan, I feel responsible for all this. I do not know if an apology is enough, but from today I will work day and night on a restoration plan for Little Garden. As a preliminary step, and based on the current conditions, Erika will inform you of what has been decided so far.

- Therefore, I will speak to you from now on.

Erika, who positioned herself in front of the podium to replace Claire, reported that restorations are expected to take at least a month in Little Garden, and during that time, thanks to being able to be in port in the city of Sangria, it will be possible to partly to normalize.

Students of the upper division of the martial arts department were instructed to spend their time in cla.s.ses related to the restoration of ships.

- I finished the report.

When saying that, Erika was replaced again by Claire.

Apparently, the moment has finally arrived.

- Finally, there is one last news for all of you.

Claire, saying that, turned her eyes to the door in front of the room.

- Enter, Emilia Hermit.

The door opened in response to that word, and a girl entered the room.

Contrary to the usual, her long silver hair was not picked up. What she wears is the uniform for girls in high school. In response to this, murmurs began to spread.

- Hmm, is not that Emile Crossfode?
- Now that I think about it, he is not here.
- Maybe it"s some kind of punishment in the form of a game?
- A girlfriend?
- No, it"s not his sister?

For Hayato, so many questions and deductions are formed as an avalanche that approaches his ears.

- In fact, our Student Council could not recognize her immediately after registering, but for reasons of his own he admitted his intention-I mean, she admitted her intention. However, based on her own request, I have decided to make it public. In any case, the details will be said by herself. Emilia, please.

- Yes.

Emilia stood in front of the podium, in place of Claire.

- Well, I think I can understand the fact that you see that this beautiful… figure that was me, turned out to be a woman.

Immediately, "AH?" "What!?" surprised voices began to appear throughout the room.

Emilia will continue her blood relationship with the Gudenburg, that is, her lineage and, therefore, in being the third princess. Then she began to talk about the circ.u.mstances of her family.
At first, she left the country without authorization, but had already been accepted in Little Garden, and was allowed to remain here. As long as possible, she will tell everything.

Anyway, Emilia has already informed Kilferthar and Claudia that she will not leave Little Garden and will not return to Gudenburg. However, it states that she must return to Gudenburg from time to time.

- It is impossible that Emilia was the princess of Gudenburg…

Noah said, who was surprised, since she did not know anything.
Other students in the martial arts department had the same reaction.

- That is why my real name is Emilia Gudenberg, but during this time I have been known as Emilia Hermit and I feel linked to this name, so I would like to be called in this way. Regarding being the third princess, that was a secret and I want to keep it that way. Oh, I forgot. It does not bother me if you call me Emile from now on.

"Hahaha" When Emilia laughed, the great hall was filled with laughter.

- Anyway, I am eager to study with you from now on.

Emilia, who between welcoming applause, bowed her head forward in reverence.

In replacement of Emilia, Claire again stood in front of the podium.

- This closes the extraordinary meeting. From tomorrow things will be very hectic, therefore everyone is asked to rest today. Have a good night.

Together with the closing of the speech, Emilia and Hayato, joined the freshmen, and bowed their heads before them.

- We"re sorry for deceiving everyone during this time.

I think you have your reasons and your circ.u.mstances, it could not be otherwise. Is not that so, Latia?

- Yup.

When Fritz asked Latia, she nodded her head.

- But what are you going to do now? Will you live in the same dormitory of women with us?

- Yes, it seems that way it will be.

Emilia responded to Latia"s concern.

The one that follows is Shuemei.

- Well, Emilia-san … or rather, Emilia-san*. It"s okay like that?
*TN: Indirectly refers to as if he were a male, and then retracts talking to her as if she were a woman. In both cases they appear with the suffix -san, but to translate it loses its meaning when read.

- What"s wrong, Shuemei?

- If I remember correctly … Emilia-san was living in the same room as Kisaragi-san until she joined the "Selections".

- "Oh …"

She has been able to recognize us, Impossible!

- In other words, are you saying with certainty that they are already in that kind of relationship?

Noah, who was standing next to Shuemei, approached Hayato and Emilia, who had their mouths open like a circle.

- You have something to say, Kisaragi-san?

Without stopping, Shuemei, approached more and more.

-Emm, that"s …

She wonders what his answer would be.

Latia and Fritz look at Hayato with a big smile on their faces. It was because they saw how they were hugging that time on the beach.

(Now I wonder, what do I do now? I think I"m cornered).

And, just when Hayato was about to give up.

- Regarding this matter, I would like to hear what kind of relationship you have.

- Pre, president …?

When he noticed, Claire joined the others.

- The information that comes from Kirishima Sakura says that you were flirting with Emilia Hermit on the coast.

- Flirting!?

- Is that true?!

Shuemei and Noa got closer. Fritz and Latia, saying "A-há" with their heads, nodded to each other.

- Certainly, he was flirting.

- Then from there the secret leaked.

Now I regret not having nailed a nail to Latia and Fritz for saying again and again so many unnecessary things, but that was already too late.

-Really? I"d like to continue listening more about this.

It could be seen Claire"s face becoming distorted and tense. To be honest, that really scared me.

(Well, what should I do? …)

Without prior notice, and due to these circ.u.mstances, Emilia takes Hayato"s wrist and shouts at him.

- Hayato, let"s escape!

- We must escape, but there is no where!.

- First, we have to run, then we"ll think where to go!

- Uwaaaa!

Emilia started to run, catching the attention of Hayato, who also started up.

- Hayato has escaped.

- Let"s go after him!

Claire responded with a shout to the warning given by Latia.

Going down the hall, Emilia and Hayato left the school building.

Behind them marched Claire, Latia, Fritz, Shuemei and Noa. Unlike them, Alphonse partic.i.p.ated until before the persecution.

- Hahaha, this is very funny.

- You think?

- Yes it"s very funny.

Emilia continued with an amazing smile on her face.

- It would be really amazing if these days were always that great.

-That would be very good.

Actually, that is something that I believe from the bottom of my heart.

-Emm, Hayato.

- What happen?

- From now on, stay with me.
