Sometimes I am amazed at human adaptability.

I guess I got used to the bunny girl outfit after wearing it for about a week… . On the contrary, I’m starting to look forward to seeing what kind of bunny suit Yuren has prepared for me today.

“… I liked it when I was embarrassed.”

“You quickly got used to the maid outfit, didn’t you?”

In Suin’s case, there are often cases where she forgets and goes out dressed in a maid outfit and then comes back.

At first, he would blush and groan for hours, but now, after coming back from the convenience store, he just groans a little and ends it. Soon, he will be casually haggling over the price of things with the lady at the traditional market.

Anyway, Yuren had told me to stay dressed as a bunny girl for a week unless there was an unavoidable reason, so after going to school, there was nothing I could do but laze around at home.

Of course you can go out… but it would attract too much attention.

Anyway, I came back and put on my bunny suit (today it was a red leotard and white band stockings) and thought for a while about what to do before dinner.

The craze within the family these days is a board game where you work together to beat up zombies. I’ve cleared all the basic missions and am currently trying out the user-created missions in the expansion pack, but I’m having a hard time getting started because the chairman hasn’t come home yet.

And that worry soon became meaningless because of the sudden sound of a bell.

“Thank you! Take care!”

The person who rang the bell was a young postman, and I quickly ran out to get the mail with the chairman’s name on it and went back into the house.

There were four people looking at them with bewilderment. Senior Saya represented everyone and conveyed their thoughts.

“… Wouldn’t it be a bit awkward to go out dressed like that?”

“Ah… . So that’s why.”

For some reason, the delivery man’s face was bright red.

Anyway, that’s not the point. I opened the mail and took out a call note addressed to ‘Elin Hildebrand’.

“Yuren. Contact the chairman and tell him to come back as soon as possible. It seems like the peaceful times are over.”

Yuren’s face hardened. To be exact, everyone’s face hardened.

Yes, this summons is the sign that announces the second part of Seraph of the End.

▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷

I tore open the summons in front of the chairman who had returned in a hurry.

There was a very official-sounding sentence written on it, a message to the participants of Master Wars. The sender was simply R., and that was the only part that didn’t sound official.

The message was simple: Come to the designated location by midnight today. Bring the person pictured in the enclosed photo.

The people in the photo were… the chairman and me.

To be exact… there was a picture taken a few days ago of me being bullied by the chairman while dressed as a bunny girl.

“… .”

Everyone looked at me and the chairman with the same expression. No, isn’t it a little different? Yuren glared at the chairman with very sharp eyes.

Because the chairman was in a difficult position, I had no choice but to ignore the situation and launch a rescue ship.

“That’s great, Chairman! I think it hit the mark!”

“… That’s right! It was worth it to endure the embarrassment and try!”

The chairman agrees and watches without even knowing what it means. It’s fortunate that he’s quick-witted.

I explained while looking at Yuren, who suddenly turned her head.

“The guy who sent this must have been watching us. Considering all the various circumstances, it’s not that strange to judge the chairman as the master. The problem is who they judge the second target to be… He intentionally showed up. It seems to have worked. ”

“Second target… .”

“There’s no one who doesn’t know that you’re the most precious person to the chairman, so if we leave it alone, there’s a high chance that you’ll become the second target. … It went as planned… but it’s still a little embarrassing… .”

Yuren nodded with a slightly complicated expression.

It seemed like only the senior noticed that this was a hastily made explanation, but he didn’t bother to tackle it in this situation.

Anyway, we decided to turn everyone’s attention back to the invitation.

“Now, as I said before, consider the time you had free time to be over. The guy who sent this invitation is a very strong opponent. As things stand, the odds of winning are almost zero, so for the time being, you have to find a way to defeat him while adjusting.”

I picked up a pen and started taking notes on the pad. It outputted what I was writing on the TV in the living room.

First, I wrote ‘We’ at the very bottom and ‘R’ at the very top.

“If up until now was part 1, then from now on, let’s call it part 2. The final boss of part 2 is this guy. As I said, we can’t win with just our abilities. That’s why what’s important now is… .”

I wrote down a few names between ‘We’ and ‘R’.

‘Judith Girls’ Military School’.

‘Black Wolf’.

‘Couple vampires’.

‘Silver Gun’.

“This is the ‘organization’ that we have to deal with, excluding R. Do you know about the Judith Girls’ Military School? There were some troubles there too, but they were ultimately sorted out under the student council president. ”

“If it’s you, Nine… it wouldn’t be strange. I thought about asking for help from you.”

Yunain.

She has served as the student council president at the Judith Girls’ Military School for 27 years.

Although she can be a bit of a troublemaker at times, her affection for the students at the academy is genuine. She even subdues other Masters and keeps them alive.

Since he had overwhelming awakening abilities even before becoming a master, he naturally took care of the problems within the school and maintained the military academy.

But she has a fatal problem.

Perhaps the chairman also gave up on relying on her because of that problem.

“The Black Wolf Sect is the most powerful Chinese mafia in this area. The important thing is that this is a branch, so it is difficult to predict how they will move depending on the circumstances of the main branch. It wouldn’t be strange if the branch manager changed tomorrow, and it would be impossible to know how they would move.”

The only thing that is certain is that it is dangerous.

“The fact that there are so many awakened members of the martial arts world is really tricky. There are so many guys with ridiculous powers. Anyway, since it’s just a branch here, even if we organize it, the main faction will advance again later, which is also difficult.”

The appearance of someone like the True Sword Tia was also a source of anxiety. The True Sword Tia is usually accompanied by one of the other four swordsmen… If two of the four swordsmen are in this city, there may be another one that is triggered and moves… .

“The vampire couple is Claire Crofton and Anna Mallis. They are both powerful vampires who have lived for over 300 years. If they decide to, they can increase their followers in large numbers, but if they are not careful, a disaster could occur.”

The last one left is Silvergun, but this one is also a pain in the ass.

“Silvergun is… fine for now. We won’t touch it unless we attack first. As of now, the only thing that’s dangerous is Suin.”

“Huh?! Me?!”

“Unfortunately, I’m not a maid maniac… . These guys should wait and see what happens. Maybe they won’t clash at all.”

I wrote ‘low risk’ for Judith Military School and Silvergun, and ‘high risk’ for Black Wolf and Couple Vampires.

“The group is like this… There are some people that we need to pay extra attention to.”

I used a lot of ‘Aret’, ‘Sasara’, and ‘???’.

“Aret… I want to recruit her as soon as possible. Honestly, I already think of her as half of our family… . Suin, are you willing to sacrifice yourself for your family?”

“Why do you keep bringing this up only for me?!”

“Just kidding. Even if you offer it, I won’t give it to you.”

Even now, Aret will be seeing and hearing all about this situation through Suin’s maid outfit. Of course, no one would willingly become a slave… but Aret surprisingly doesn’t know…

Anyway, there’s a lot you can gain by recruiting Aret. If you buy something like Suin’s maid outfit right away and put it on your senior or Yuren, that alone will give you a lot of peace of mind…

“Sasara… Was that guy’s older sister?”

“Yeah. Since my main base is separate, I probably won’t show up here for a while, but I’ve always been a long-distance hunter… .”

“… Hunting… .”

Yuna frowned and muttered.

“The trouble is that there’s not much you can do about this, but if you get caught, just don’t resist and do whatever they tell you. You won’t get physically hurt, so it’s okay.”

Mentally too… you won’t be hurt.

There’s just no guarantee that things will ever go back to how they were before.

“The rest are… unpredictable variables. Like the guy who made Lion’s name crazier… Guys who wouldn’t be here at this time in the future I know. In the end, I can’t predict or prepare for this.”

However… you can think of it this way.

“If you feel that a dangerous atmosphere is being created by someone who is not a member of the organization I have named so far, run away unconditionally first. That is safe.”

“… Suddenly the world feels like a minefield… .”

I couldn’t find words to respond to Yuren’s sigh. The chairman had a similar expression.

The world was originally full of landmines. However, we were able to live in peace because there was a law enforcement organization that prevented crime and tracked down and punished criminals.

But that’s not the case now.

This is because the person who sent this invitation, the final boss of Part 2 who calls himself R, is the top of that security organization.

Baek Yu-go.

The director of the Inspectorate in charge of crimes related to those with awakened abilities. As long as he was involved in this fight as a ‘Master’, this world could only be called a minefield.

“So, Seha, should I respond to this call?”

“Yeah. First, you have to pretend to follow. If you don’t, you’ll become hostile right away, and that’s too dangerous.”

“… It seems like following is just as dangerous.”

That’s true too.

“We’re not the only ones. He can’t completely ignore those four groups. At the same time, being the head of an organization called the Inspectorate doesn’t mean he can do whatever he wants.”

I added one next to R: ‘Inspector General (Resistance)’.

The job of the Inspectorate is to monitor, prevent, and track the crimes of the Awakened. Of course, this will naturally decrease over time… .

“These hostile forces are also prey. If there’s a useful guy, they want to turn him into a slave. It’s only natural to think that way. There’s a twist to that.”

We must not only maintain our organization among the opposing forces, but also grow our power. In doing so, we must ultimately overthrow the head of the Inspectorate.

It was a level of difficulty that would make you curse even in a game, but this is reality… .

I looked at Senior Saya, who had been silent since earlier.

Senior Saya is lowering her head. I have already told you this, but it must still be stuffy. I unconsciously stroked the ring on my ring finger.

I felt a little regretful about [The Promise that Binds the Soul]. It’s a shame that all I can bring is physical pain. I wish I could bring the complicated emotions that Saya-senpai is feeling right now.

At that moment, Senior Saya raised her head and smiled brightly. It was a delicate but not dark smile, completely different from the gloomy expression I had imagined.

“You know that your junior will overcome these difficulties and win the future. In addition, Yuna, Suin, and Yuren have grown much more than you thought. You should be careful, but you don’t have to worry.”

Ah, senior… .

There is a saying that it is the beauty’s smile that kills a hero. I am not a hero, and Saya-senpai probably did not mean to say that, but when I see my senior believing in me and encouraging me, I think I can understand the meaning of that saying.

Thanks to that, I was able to speak much more comfortably.

“Well, it’s just like what the senior said. I wasn’t just playing around, I prepared as much as I could. Anyway, in that regard, the chairman and I are going to go see that pig for a bit tonight.”

“… Are you really thinking of going with Seha?”

“Yeah. I said I’d adjust it to your needs first.”

“I don’t feel like bringing a companion, so I don’t know why.”

I sighed and replied to the chairman’s words.

“It’s nothing. I’m asking you to pay me back.”

“… Yes?”

This is the sexual bribery event you experience as soon as you start Part 2.

If you don’t respond to R’s call, if you don’t bring a companion, and if you don’t return the companion you brought for one night, the Inspectorate will treat you hostilely from then on, and all sorts of troublesome things will happen.

If you were to point out Yuren, I was planning on going in disguise, so the previous walking event was really helpful.

“What, what, what, what nonsense are you talking about?!!!”

“Are you crazy?!”

“Seha Yang… Are you in your right mind?”

“Seo, teacher… Seo, no way… .”

“Junior… .”

“Huh? What? Why are you all so freaked out? Don’t you trust me?”

The answer that came back was, although the mother was a little different, “I can’t believe it!”. I am trusted by everyone with absolute trust… .
