It was about time the sun started to set.

    Under the leadership of student council president Skadi, the city’s defense system was fully deployed.

    Leading members riding on numerous mechanics were guarding the front gate, and general students, including outsiders, gathered in their assigned dormitories and evacuated.

    We tried to find a way to reconnect with the United Student Council, but failed.

    After the meeting, we gathered at the garrison and tried to call nearby stores and schools, but failed. This was due to the Eastern Alliance’s siege network completely established in the wilderness.

    To be precise… It was because of hundreds of threatening armor puppets.

    ‘No, what…’ Is the final technology already completed? ‘

    In the original, it was almost [Priest of Erosion]… So, it was a summon that appeared at the time of the last named boss excluding the dragon.

    According to the testimony of leading students who went on reconnaissance.

    It was said that a fire net full of threatening weapons, including that magic armor weapon, had been formed in the wilderness.

    ‘Fur beast second-year guys… Although their military force was lax, they did a fantastic job of blocking the communication network and forming a fire network… Even though I’m not good at doing things myself, I’m good at telling others what to do.’

    I sighed, thinking of the poor ladies who had become completely bald. I heard that they were taken over by leading members and imprisoned in a detention facility.

    Dalkak-

    “Phew… ”

    Bell tried to contact me until the end.

    She put down the phone and sighed.

    And I crossed out the name of the last school left on the list.

    “Ah… It won’t work. Even if you find out something, it’s all useless if you don’t convey it to the boss quickly… This is a big deal… If you do this, you can’t even set the mood… It’s not like me to be desperate… ”

    Bell muttered for a while.

    Slurp-

    Finally knocked down.

    Belle buried her face on the office desk.

    The black side tail hung limply, like a withered plant.

    “… ”

    “… ”

    Silence returned to the garrison office. Through the open window, I could hear the voices of concern from outsiders and general students who had visited .

    It was literally the sound of the people groaning at the hands of the Yellow Turban enemy.

    ‘Changcheon Director Hwangcheon Party… Then, I guess Janggak is the student council president of , the money ghost guy.’

    Student Council President Andrea.

    Because of his snobbish and selfish tendencies, he is the boss in the beginning along with the fur beast leader Frau.

    Even though they weren’t such a threatening enemy originally, the demons who had raised their final tech with a cheat key I didn’t know where they got it had become a threat of the Yellow Turban level.

    ‘That too… Could it be ’s fault? But they don’t have that kind of power… ‘

    You have to find something to guess…

    Knowledge of the original work has not been helpful since first grade.

    While thinking that, I looked around.

    All I could see were high school girls who had collapsed from exhaustion.

    “… ”

    Attempts to restore the contact network, which began at lunchtime, were ultimately unsuccessful until evening approached. We were left exhausted, having searched hundreds of numbers to find a detour through numerous schools and shopping districts.

    All the investigation team members were also lying down on the floor and resting.

    “… ”

    “… ”

    Lotta and I were sitting on the floor, leaning on each other’s shoulders. And Kara and Albit were bowing their heads together with Greta, the youngest member of the investigation team, in front of their assigned phones.

    ‘Because it is a simple repetitive task… ‘Everyone seems mentally exhausted.’

    I understand.

    When I worked at a company, the most difficult thing was simple repetitive work. Moreover, Clara’s body had not fully recovered from the ether, so she became tired quickly.

    “Ummmm… ”

    The sound of sleep talking coming from next to me.

    Lotta seemed to be unable to overcome his fatigue and dozed off before falling asleep.

    “… ”

    Upright

    Upright

    Orange color passes by with a quiet sigh.

    The cat’s ears perked up, tempting me.

    “Yam―♪”

    I put Lotta’s cat ears in my mouth as they passed by. Then, a pleasant throaty sound came from under my head, along with a fragrant scent.

    “Ommyommyeon… ”

    “Gorolong… ”

    I thought about this while savoring the light taste of Lotta’s cat ears.

    ‘I need to know what the situation is with the fur beasts’ main force and contact Hilde in Golden Street to be able to do anything… ‘

    Even if we break through with a small squad that includes high-ranking etheric abilities. If our expectations were overturned and furry beasts lurked in large numbers, it was game over.

    In addition, there is the possible threat of …

    ‘Nana Freyja who is fully recovered can easily defeat 100 scrappers, but it is difficult to ignore 1000 scrappers who are fully prepared… ‘

    It would be nice if the contact network could be restored so we could know the situation.

    With that kind of nervousness in mind, he lightly pressed his teeth on Lotta’s ear.

    “Wow… Sister… Stop it… ”

    “Ommyommyeon… ”

    This lovely chef cat.

    I’m finally hearing that cute snort.

    I achieved another bucket list item that I wanted to do as ‘Clara’.

    ‘I will cherish you until one day, when you come into my arms and rub your head, I will ask you to pet me first.’

    The plan was to pamper him until he became a very plump house cat. While making that promise, I stroked Lothar’s chin and head with my free hands.

    “Gororolong… ”

    “Ommyommyeon… ”

    Albit said, looking at me with puzzled eyes even though he was exhausted.

    “Senior, it’s a bit weird to do that to a sleeping child… ”

    “Ommyommyeon… ”

    “Gororolong… ”

    “Ugh.”

    Albit looked at me with rude eyes, but I ignored it.

    While everyone was so tired.

    Freya, who was lying on the sofa in the office, suddenly muttered.

    “… Shall we?”

    “Huh? What did you say?”

    Belle, who had been lying face down on the desk, stood up again, rubbing her tired eyes. And Freya spoke with a clearer voice than before, as if she had made up her mind.

    “Kang, forced to break through… Should I do it… Well, as it is… Sweeping everything that comes to mind… As for the people gathered here… It will be enough, I think it will be enough.”

    Freya’s amethyst-like eyes scanned the darkness.

    Of course, I was also included in that gaze. And the students who responded to those gazes and words opened their eyes and stood up.

    “… !”

    “… !”

    “… !”

    For some reason, I felt goosebumps when I heard that. So, I stopped stroking Lothar and looked towards Freya.

    Sigh…

    Non-fighting students are rising one after another.

    Lotta, who was sleeping next to me, woke up and flinched at the sound.

    “Hmm. I know it’s not possible in my head… ”

    “Forced breakthrough to protect justice… !”

    “Wouldn’t it be a little dangerous?”

    Bell said as if he was dumbfounded by Arbit’s worried muttering.

    “Albit, you are slowly being persuaded as you say that.”

    “That’s right, just by looking at your eyes, I feel like I’m going to run away already.”

    “… ”

    Light begins to return in the eyes of students who are confident in their power, such as Bell, Sigrun, and Albit. Even Greta, the youngest member of the investigative team, gulped with her red eyes shining.

    ‘okay… Everyone is more inclined to attack the house than to protect it.’

    The best defense is offense.

    In the end, that was what Freya wanted to say.

    Freya said as she looked around at the strange enthusiasm of the Mutufa students focused on her.

    “ji, at this moment… When the wires are completed and you feel relieved… All of the ghosts’ magic weapon units divided into the wilderness will pay attention to the main force… ”

    “Because this is not the main battlefield… ?”

    “Well, there’s that too… In the end, the Eastern Federation… Words, words are good, it’s a federation… The servants who were bought with the money of Frau, the head of the aristocratic faction… Everything is the same. I don’t think they’ll take the risk and launch an unreasonable siege… ”

    Freyja has now fully risen from the sofa. The setting sun reflected on her curly purple hair, making it shine as transparent as a diamond.

    “Ah, no matter how much we form a battle line… Well, the direction they really care about is… ”

    “West, breaking through the front line and taking control of the … ”

    In response to Arbit’s answer, Freya said that it was correct and continued speaking.

    “Man, the basis for judging that even [Blue and White Thunder Spear] can be defeated… Wow, forming a battle line in such a hurry… Well, if there is a relationship… ”

    “Because of the time limit, I have no choice but to turn my back on this… Is this it?”

    “Instead, they turn their backs on the Eastern Alliance, which has turned their backs on them, and move up to join the center… Is it that kind of operation?”

    Bell’s and Alvit’s conjectures, respectively.

    Freya nodded.

    “… ”

    Belle crossed her legs in the dark corner of her office after the sunset. Although she had a childish body and a young face, her posture somehow suited her.

    “Conjecture upon guess… It’s truly a lucky operation.”

    “Ji, in this situation… Expecting a 100% probability… You are such an idiot.”

    “That’s what a rational magician would say—☆”

    “Cluck… ”

    Freya said, smiling at my words for the first time. And there was no hesitation in the words he spoke.

    “Damn, magic science is originally a science based on luck. Wow, what kind of discipline is it that you can’t use without skills?”

    “Ah… !”

    Lotta, who was fully awake, heard those words and let out a short exclamation.

    [I wish everyone could share the same magic and skills.]

    Lotta’s fairytale-like dream.

    Perhaps the first question that is most closely related to that thought.

    [Is magic science really close to the unchangeable truth of the universe?]

    This is because it was said by a student with the most outstanding wizard skills in Academy City. This is also something that didn’t happen in the original… Although it is a changed original, there were times when it was better than the original.

    ‘Good job Lotta.’

    I smiled happily while looking at that.

    Shake!

    Belle, who thought she had finished talking, stood up and declared.

    “Then, let’s all get our own equipment! We’ll divide up the invasion route and the attack team, so hurry up and get ready!”

    “Yes!”

    “Okay!”

    “… Yes.”

    Students leaving the office one after another.

    Freya and her juniors also left their equipment in the guest room.

    He said he would leave first and left the office in an instant.

    “… ”

    Before you know it, the office is empty.

    I also stood up to follow them.

    At that moment, the ether phone on Bell’s desk rang.

    Ringing –

    “… ?!”

    No now?!

    I hurriedly tried to call the bell, but everyone had already left.

    If I didn’t answer like this, I didn’t know when the phone would ring again.

    I have no choice.

    I picked up the phone before it hung up.

    Dalkak-

    “Woman, hello―☆”

    “Bell, this is an emergency. After looking at the situation at the garrison… Lala… ?”

    That voice was Hilde.
