After a few days of itinerary, Fiona's line was safe, reaching the Imperial Capital.

"Gentlemen, it was a short time, but it was a lot of fun."

In front of the giant castle gate of the Empire, Fiona smiles at us.

The decision not to allow a carriage from outside to enter the castle during the day seemed to have to be upheld even by the Empress, and we all got off in front of the castle gate a long-running carriage.

From now on, Fiona is supposed to switch to another carriage inside and head to Imperial Castle, which holds the court. We'll stay overnight at the City Inn and leave for Rodney tomorrow morning.

I say as I watch the assassins tied up and taken.

"... really, there was no raid"

"Ugh. You were right, weren't you?

I nod to Fiona, who says she's smiling.

There was no sign of the raid, the assassins were dear and peaceful on the road.

I turn to the castle gate, which is slightly more crowded because of them.

"However, you seem to have a lot of trouble getting into the castle with just a large number of people. The Imperial City seems to be heavily guarded."

"It's not usually this far... now the court was tingling a little"

"The court? Why at a time like this when there is nothing"

"Come on...... why not? I don't know."

After a meaningful smile, Fiona says somewhat remorsefully.

"I really wish I could have invited you all to the court, but it was a little difficult for such a convenience... did you want to see it? Imperial City."

"You wanted to see it. I must have been proud of you for the rest of my life for putting you inside the Imperial Castle."

"Already, Amu...... hehe, it's okay. Your Highness will be very busy."

"I got a fancy place to stay, okay?"

The women talk cute.

They were, in fact, pretty close by now during their stay in Lamplog territory. A woman is very sociable.

"Ugh. I've never had much fun talking to someone this close to my age... True. I'm sure, again..."

So Fiona turned to Amu with a slightly painful smile.

"There will be an opportunity to invite you."

"- Hey, Your Highness. We're done here."

Turning to his voice, Gli was just pulling the horse.

Has he finished taking over for his deputy Lauren and said goodbye to his own men?

This second brother says goodbye here, too. When will we meet again?

"Hmm. Bye, Seika"

To Glai, who tells me to throw up, I answer appropriately.

"You're well, Brother Glai. Good luck at best and you'll be strong."

"Damn, you sound great...... hey kid!

"... what. Stop being such a kid."

"Don't miss your workout. Be aware of the shapes without relying on the actual sword. You have a gift."

"Hey... I'll do it even if you don't tell me!

I think to Amu, who is annoyed and returns. [M]

For what it was like to meet you, these two got along... aren't they? I don't know.

"Well... it's time to go"

Fiona said, looking up at the castle gate.

I laugh and answer that.

"How are you? It's a pleasure to have you here."

"Well, I can't believe it's an offering... but I thought we could be friends."

"Then that's fine"

"... the son of the Lamplog family is a brother. My treatment is cluttered. Though I am like a fallen child, I am still the empress, the real son of the present emperor."

"Excuse me, because only my oldest brother is decent"

"Ugh."

Fiona laughed a little - then quietly walked over to me.

"Dear Seika"

And as I smile, I say it with a serious voice.

"I'm - I'm on your side. Really...... true. Just remember that."

…… Yes. "

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... bye"

Fiona, turning her back, leaves for the castle gate with the samurai and the glays.

Consider the meaning of the leftover words, but I'm not sure.

You need an ally, don't you, Fiona? Um, you were a stranger to the end.

"Ah, Mabel...... your brother's grave, stop by?

"Tomorrow morning, I was thinking of going."

"Well, let's get you some flowers."

"If we're lucky, maybe we can buy it in the market. I think we should hurry. Here, Seika, let's go."

"Oh, oh."

I answer briefly and follow them.

****

He stayed overnight at the city's top inn and left the Imperial City the next morning as planned.

Two days, shaken by a carriage through the streets that extend east.

We returned to the school city of Rodney for the first time in about a month.

I'm totally surprised myself that it already feels like a place for school dorms to come home. I've only lived there for two years, but I don't know because it's been a lot.

Spring break is a few days away.

This year's admissions ceremony is also approaching the present.

One day I was spending teaching Mabel to study and go shopping in the city while the school was getting a little rushed - I was summoned abruptly by the school director.

"You don't have to be. It's no big deal."

That's what an old woman from Dwarf said in the dean's office on the top floor of the main school building.

Though.

The school director is someone who knows who Amu is and the end of my power. I have no reason not to.

I don't break my expression, and the school director cuts off his mouth with a little confusion.

"Why don't you do the total?"

…… Total cost, is it?

"There would have been some school students who would greet each year at the admissions ceremony. That's it. He's the head of the elementary school."

"Why me?"

"That's a dumb question. It's just a matter of good grades."

"... errands, is that all?

"I don't know what you were expecting, but that's all. You're a student. It's not like it's time for Atashi to choose the total cost for the students or to tell them to get expelled. Usually."

"Really..."

"You don't have to resign. I suppose I'll ask your squire or some other student to do it. I don't care who you are. I don't care who you are."

Doesn't matter, says the school director.

In fact, it's not a big deal at all compared to things like the brave, the demonic, the future of the empire, etc. It was kind of a clap.

I answer with a few answers.

"I'll take care of it."

"Wow. Surprisingly, I thought I'd say no... Oh, shit. I think I threw up a similar dialogue a year ago."

"If it's okay with me, that's about it. Maybe it's an honor."

"Kuku. Oh, yeah."

chuckling, says the school director.

"For normal students, it's an honor. It foils my background and is also conducive to my application to government officials. I don't expect you to be obsessed with something like that... just keep your mouth shut. That's what regular students are called."

"Yes."

I answer with my eyes down. [M]

"I guess so."

****

"Dear Seika, are you sure? I've taken care of everything."

That's what Yuki asked me when I left the main school building.

The day is still at a high time, but the gray clouds cover the sky, a little dark.

"Oh. That's okay."

"Why? It's going to stand out again."

To Yuki, who seems strange, I answer with a gentle smile.

"Things like this don't go in prominently. Together with the martial arts tournament in Teito. The unusual strong who can be seen by the powerful do not have a normal background in the total cost of the school. It's something that follows a more odd half life. Yes, for example... after being picked up by an orphan in anticipation of the power of a curse, and disappeared into a citation made up of killing his brother or master, and living a wandering life outside the country, he returns to the country to raise his apprentice."

To Yuki, who shuts up, I go on.

"Besides, lately... I wish I had been more normal."

"Normally, is it...?

"An opportunity to wield an unusual power is not something you would normally visit if you were alive. I... felt a little timid because of the way I died in my previous life. I don't think you had to bother looking for someone to be the strongest in your place. There was no such thing as a brave man or demon king involved in darkness. There may have been a way to live peacefully while not having to come to school or even a stream magician"

……

"Nothing, I'm not regretting meeting those kids. School is a good place. I am also interested in the life of an adventurer that will soon begin. I am not going to change my policy any more. It's just... from now on, I'm going to be more normal. Remarkably, it's not nervous, it's more like a normal person."

"... then Mr. Seika..."

Yuki asks quietly.

"Against the imminent enemy now, instead of confronting... are you going to run away, like a normal human being"

"Oh, my God. Did you notice that too?"

I say calmly.

Looks like he's still out of town now, but at the time of the raid, he's probably close.

"I'll do something about that. I'm supposed to say hello at the entrance ceremony. Once the entrance ceremony itself is gone, it will no longer be able to fulfill it"

"... Seika, have you not noticed? To the contradiction you're talking about… ordinary people can't do that."

To Yuki, who has a harsh voice, I answer with a bitter smile.

"You won't have a choice, I'm already involved. I can't even ignore it now. Besides - it's easy for me. If you don't know who did it, you'll be fine."

"Saika..."

"Yuki, don't leave me. I'm going to be a little rushed."

I float a human rattle. [M]

Will this be my first job as a total generation?

"Call-to-..."
