“……Hmm?”
“What’s wrong, Shin?” – Aug asks.
“No… I think I’ve forgotten something important…” – I wonder what? Now, I have a mental block, I think.
“You’re forgetting. What?”
“Ummm… what is it? I have it on the tip of my tongue…”- What is it? It’s bothering me.
“…I’m really worried, but you can’t help it if you can’t remember. You’ll tell me as soon as you remember, won’t you? If possible, I want to make sure we’re ready for this to end.”
“That is…”
“Yeah. It’s about time to announce the end of the operation.”
“Hee, is it all right?” – Maria utters.
Oh. It seems that the operation will finally end and Maria took a bite out of it.
“Because the surveillance network will be completed soon. Finally, Pope Ekaterina will declare the end of this operation.” – Aug explains.
“It’s been a long time, hasn’t it? I didn’t realize it would take more than six months.” – Tony muttered.
“This is a lot shorter, thanks to the cooperation of the world.　If our country had run this operation alone, it would have taken years.” – Aug concludes.
“Ue! Spare of this lasting a few years or anything like that!”
Tony muttered that it was finally over, and Alice looked heartily disgusted when she was told that it would have taken years to carry out the mission with just Earlshide. Well, I don’t want this kind of tension to last for a few years either.
“I see, it’s finally happening.” – I said with relief.
“Well, we can’t be too careful because Schtrom and the demons aren’t gone. We built a surveillance network for that purpose, and if anything goes wrong, we’ll be there.”
Still, I think it’s better than staying nervous about when and where the demons will attack. Will this finally bring back a quiet life?
“Well, when it comes to peace, there is another problem this time, though.” – Aug continues.
“Another problem?”
“Have you forgotten? I’m talking about being careful about your surroundings.”
“Oh, that…”
Well…Isn’t it peaceful? – I ponder.

Since the day after the entrance ceremony…
“Kyaaa! Lord Shin!”
“Oh, Your Highness… I never thought I would be able to catch a glimpse of your face”
“Upperclassman Alice, so cute!”
“Big Sister Lady Sicily has seen us!”
I feel like an idol. They don’t get involved with us directly, but when we pass each other or they spot us at a distance, they call us out like this. I’m not sure if I should be happy or embarrassed…
Surprisingly, the female students are unexpectedly gazing intensely at Sicily. I thought the male students were the one that would do something like that… You wouldn’t think she would be targeted by the girls? Right? And being called Big sister lady Sicily…
In my past life, I thought it would be nice to be a celebrity or something, but I can’t help but feel tired when I’m actually in this position. After all, it feels like my every single move is being watched.
“Hah… I want to use optical camouflage in the academy and live in seclusion…”
“What is it Maria? I already got used to it” – Alice teased her.
“You can’t blame me for thinking that when we get this much attention, can you? Oh, but optical camouflage wasn’t added to the uniform…” – Maria said in disappear.
I used to be afraid of the granting everyone else the same enchantments I casted on my uniform, but now I’ve gotten used to it. There wasn’t this much of a fuss before, but this is what happens as soon as the new students arrive. It’s like the scene that goes forever, that you usually see in manga. I used to look at it somewhat casually, but I didn’t realize how exhausting it is to the person in the middle of it…
I’m living such a new and exhausting school life, but once a holiday arrived, the Ultimate Magicians were all at my house. Aug is talking through the wireless communication device. While I’m wondering what the hell Aug is taking so long to talk about on the call, he says the words I have been waiting for and the reason for gathering at my house.
“Shin. The date for the final declaration of conclusion of the war has been decided.”
“Oh! So you’ve completed your surveillance network then?!”
“Yeah. Yesterday. I just received the message through the communication device. Since the surveillance network was completed, the Pope declaration will put an end to this the situation.”
The moment we heard the report, everyone cheers.
‘”Yeah! We did it!”
“Yes.”
Alice and Lynn are high-fiving each other. Everyone else seems happy too.
“We only took part in the early stages, but it’s a relief when the operation we took part in ends successfully.” – Tony interjected.
“You know, we were only in it for the first few weeks, right?”
“But the achievement is mass subjugation demons. You should be prouder than that.” – Aug concludes.
Maria and Tony seem to be concerned about the briefness of our participation, but we did what we could, and I think we can be proud of ourselves. As we were all rejoicing over such good news after a long time, someone’s wireless communication device’s bell rings.
“Hmm? Me?”
Aug noticed that his wireless communication device is ringing and takes it out to check. All of us, who have a wireless communication devices are together at the same place, including Grandpa and Grandma. Then, the only person who could be calling is Uncle Dis. What can it be about?
“Yes. This is Augusto.”
Aug also responded in a polite tone, perhaps because he knows that the other person is Uncle Dis.
“Yes. I’m at Shin’s house now… Yes. Yes? Huh!? Really??”
Aug, who had responded normally at first, suddenly shouted loudly. What is it? Is it an emergency? Everyone is nervous because of the distress on Aug’s face.
“Yes. I see. Hey! Shin!”
“What?”
“My father says you should take over the call”
Uncle Dis is calling for me? – I wonder.
“This is Shin. Uncle Dis, did something happened?”
“Oh Shin! Is Sir Merlin there?”
“Yes he’s here”
“Then it’ll be just fine. Take Sir Merlin with you and go to Katie’s place!”
“To Miss Ekaterina’s place? Why?”
“It’s an emergency! I just received an emergency call from Ys.”
“Emergency call?” – What? I have a bad premonition.
“Katie has… Katie has been stabbed!”
The situation that I believe it was about to end, began to take an unexpected turn. Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
