Jamie and Tiraiza. The hero party’s warrior and sage.
It seems they promised to meet with everyone, and Yufilia and Iris soon meet up with them. The hero and the priest.
“Oh, were you acquaintances?”
Adrigori panics. Have you forgotten the faces of the hero party?
“Ah, I’m in the same cla.s.s at the academy as the 4 of them.”
I explained that Adrigori was an acquaintance from the countryside.
In order to not raise any more doubts, I don’t say any more.
First, calm down.
It’s not like I’m doing anything wrong.
I was just training.
Yufilia and Iris receive a brief explanation, and 4 people turn over here.
“Pervert.”
“Lecher.”
“The worst.”
“Lump of s.e.xual desires.”
“くぉ、ふぉgkぜ(Translation: It’s a misunderstanding.)”
I try to explain.
“What’s the misunderstanding? What were you doing here?”
Yufilia is the only one who can understand my mysterious language.
Yufilia asks me with her eyes.
“It’s already out since you used your mysterious language.”
“Yeah, since it doesn’t happen if you’re calm.”
Tiraiza and Iris add their comments.
I ignore it, and speak.
“This is my training, training.”
“Hou, training huh?”
Tiraiza doesn’t even have a fragment of trust in me.
“Hitting on women is training? You can get stronger by doing that? I’m jealous.”
Jamie raises her hands and acts a little.
“You should know. I was training in how to talk to unknown women. What would you call this other than training?”
The 4 people’s faces meet, and with half closed eyes, they speak.
“”””Picking up women.””””
I knew it.
When Adrigori and I teleport home, Jeko immediately asks us.
“How was it?”
“Well, there was some success, and there also wasn’t any success……”
I make a difficult expression.
“After all, it seemed to be too heavy a burden for Adrigori.”
“I don’t want to hear that from you!”
I’ll let those 2 fight.
“Who will you bring with you next?”
“No, school will resume from tomorrow, so that’s the end.”
Due to the cleaning up after the war, the school was temporarily closed.
It’s already been a week.
I’m somewhat tired today.
I’d like to think that this fatigue is proof of my growth.

“Did you think I’d be satisfied by that story!?”
One of the 3 major powers, the Scottyard Kingdom.
In his office, King George Ⅲ threw the report to the floor.
Although the capital of the Briton Kingdom Rhodan sustained great damage, they were able to repel the demon general’s army.
All the demons including Demon General Fumeless died.
Most of the magical creatures were destroyed. Some of them stopped working and were caught.
“The one who wrote this report can be trusted Father.”
The first prince Vincent picks up the report, and places it on the desk.
George Ⅲ calms down, and intensely stares Vincent.
“This isn’t a story where that princess you love was saved, and everyone lives happily ever after.”
“I understand. What I’m interested in is the special matter.”
A mysterious weapon appeared in the sky, and poured arrows of light onto the ground.
With that, most of the demons died, and half of the magical creatures stopped their activities.
It led to a great reversal.
“Who are saying did this, and how!?”
“Isn’t that written here? It was the hero of the 6th demonic calamity, Serena-sama. The person herself has stated she did it, and there are facts that say she has done more than this in the past. There isn’t anything strange about it.”
It is also written in the report that Serena also invaded the enemy’s stronghold and destroyed it, killing Fumeless.
“That woman had said before that after the use of that huge magic in the 6th demonic calamity, she couldn’t fight anymore as an after effect.”
“That must’ve been a lie. She hadn’t wished for any political power after the war. She must have been aware of her influence. What a wonderful person.”
George Ⅲ clicks his tongue at Vincent’s naive thinking.
Was this the effect of the attending Cantabridge Academy?
“Reality won’t end with such a nice story. Whatever it was, it showed power far beyond the frame of humans. As long as it can do that, it’s a threat. Especially to this Scottyard Kingdom.”
The Scottyard Kingdom is not aiming to take control of the continent through force.
However, without force, they’d be instantly taken over by other countries.
Thus, a certain level of power is necessary.
In actuality, they had more than enough power.
They held enough military force to be one of the 3 major powers.
Even though the plot against and pressure other countries, it’s out of the question for them to be angry enough to start a war.
However, in this case, the situation had changed.
If the great magician Serena had this kind of power, even the Scottyard Kingdom’s army couldn’t compete.
If she didn’t like something, and exerted pressure on them, even the Scottyard Kingdom had no choice but to obey.
That was not something the leader of humanity, George Ⅲ could allow.
“However, up until now, she hasn’t interfered with national problems at all.”
“I’d appreciate it if she continued that until she died, but there were lies in her words. That power is a mystery, and so is her thinking. This is a problem.”
If they don’t understand anything, it’d be impossible for them to take any countermeasures.
In that case, they have no choice but to investigate.
“Vincent, I’ll give you one mission. Spy on Serena.”
“Understood, but what should I look for?”
“Anything is fine. Of course, the intelligence division will also move. You’re conveniently attending Cantabridge Academy, so go look for the information only you can find.”
“I understand.”
Vincent bows once.
“If you have any success, you’ll probably get permission to proceed with that.”
“I can finally get engaged to Yufilia.”
“If you can get results.”
George Ⅲ chides Vincent, who was delighted.
On the other hand, that power might not belong to Serena.
During the age of myths, there were things that held power far beyond the current humanity.
If so, depending on the circ.u.mstances, that power might belong to the Scottyard Kingdom one day.
If that wasn’t the case……
Thinking that, George Ⅲ looked at the next report.
