But if that was the case…

"Why do they call grandpa 'Teacher Merlin' rather than 'Lord Merlin'?" (Shin)

"I wasn't good at teaching others, so at that time, it was Melinda who trained the children." (Merlin)

"Really? What a surprise! But you taught me back then." (Shin)

Grandma sighed.

"When someone asked your grandpa for advice, your grandpa would just tell him/her, ‘Gather a lot of magic power, and then release it after imagining it properly.'" (Melinda)

"Grandpa?" (Shin)

"Hahaha. Everyone was young and lively back then." (Merlin)

Grandpa looked away shyly.

"But it was Lord Grandpa who taught Shin. Sure enough, grandpa is powerful." (Cecily)

Cecily supported him.

Grandpa was moved by her statement.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Cecily. I started to teach Shin when he was still a baby. I then gradually learned how to guide children." (Merlin)

"Well, I see." (Cecily)

Is grandpa becoming slightly better at instructing others a recent thing?

Compared with that, he seemed to have said something rather interesting before.

"Did you just say “children”? Wasn't Uncle Dis the only one traveling with you?" (Shin)

"At first, only Desheum followed us. But later we found another two during the trip. We trained while travelling." (Merlin)

"Really?" (Shin)

"I've nothing more to say about the trip. Let's talk about the birthday party." (Melinda)

"I guess you're right. As Shin has told you just now, we want to hold the party in your hall." (August)

"OK. No problem. What else?" (Melinda)

"I think we will celebrate on a large scale because it will be a party jointly organized by three families. We'll have to carefully choose who we want to invite." (August)

"Do not invite guests." (Melinda)

"What?" (Shin)

Grandma opposed August's idea.

What's wrong with inviting guests?

"Don't worry, Shin. Only the nobles are asked to invite guests, but we are ordinary people." (Melinda)

"I see. That's great." (Shin)

"If you insist on inviting guests, you can just as well save your breath. Do you still think you should invite guests?" (Melinda)

But Cecily and Maria were nobles. Wouldn't it be bad not to invite guests?

"I don't mind it at all as I don't like mingling with so many strangers." (Cecily)

"And it's really troublesome to entertain them if you don't like them." (Maria)

Although Cecily and Maria didn't care, what about their families' views?

"Won't Mr. Cecil be embarrassed? Is that OK?" (Shin)

"Even grandma is opposed to inviting guests. Everybody will understand us." (Cecily)

"Yes. Nobody will dare complain about it." (Maria)

Grandma has a great influence in our country.

"So let's invite our close friends and relatives only. No other guests will be invited." (Shin)

"OK. That's it then." (August)

August's proposal was rejected.

"Our family doesn't have many close friends and relatives. I'll just invite Desheum, Sieg, Chris, Michel and Tom." (Shin)

They were also the ones I had invited to my last year's birthday party.

"Even so, most of the people we will invite are influential." (Cecily)

"Cecily, you aren't ordinary in Shin's home." (Maria)

Maria said it frankly because she and my grandma and grandpa, were old friends.

"I'll just invite my relatives." (Cecily)

"Me too." (Maria)

I didn't have to care about Cecily and Maria anymore. Except for the people present, I didn't have many other friends.

Mr. Royce, Cecily's elder brother in charge of Walford Chamber of Commerce, is also my close friend.

I'll also invite Mr. Glen, Alice's father.

"Nevertheless, the party will still be large. Is that OK?" (Shin)

"No problem. The most intimidating devils have been eliminated and the remaining devils don't want to continue fighting. What we have to do now is to subjugate the demons in the demon territory. It's almost time to lift the ban on parties anyway. Everything will fall into place." (Melinda)

"That's a relief." (Shin)

It suddenly struck me that a grand celebration would really be possible if Grandma insisted.

"Grandma, what are you worrying about?" (Shin)

"Oh, No. Maybe I am thinking too much." (Melinda)

Although grandma found it rather difficult to talk about the matter, but she still said something in the end.

"Schtrom doesn't want to attack us, does he?" (Melinda)

Grandma revealed our major concern.

"That's exactly what the devils who surrendered to our army said. After destroying the empire, Schtrom lost his drive and energy." (August)

“Schtrom's aim was destroying the empire. He lost his goal after that, didn't he?" (Melinda)

Grandma muttered to herself.

"It will be great if he stops causing trouble to others." (Melinda)

It'sour wish too.

Although the presence of the devils was disturbing, we hoped that they wouldn't create disorder.

"Although we don't know whether devils will attack us again or not, Schtrom has nothing to do with this series of disturbances. This is a fact." (August)

"Although it is a fact…" (Melinda)

But we didn't believe it.

Maybe it had something to do with that.

"Grandma, are you worrying about the devils of the past?" (Shin)

Grandma and grandpa showed a gloomy expression as I stopped speaking.

"Maybe we can tell them about it now." (Melinda)

"You're right. They'd better know it." (Merlin)

Grandma and grandpa said.

Then.

"Maybe…" (Melinda)

"What?" (Shin)

"It's about the devils." (Melinda)

They then talked about the devils.
