“I’ve been patient until now, but to be honest, it was really hard… … .”
“It is empathy. What do you mean? It was almost an elite army.”
We got on the train back to the knight academy. To those who asked about the witch, she said that she had rescued what was being held by the remnants. At first, people who were dubious about it, soon convinced them that they would understand when the witch in the form of a girl looked up anxiously.
“As ever, beauty helps. The pathetic guys who can’t see the inside.”
“I haven’t gotten very far, but stop talking about it, Ethel. Proud is shocked.”
By the way, the name of the witch I learned later was Edelgard. I decided to call her Ethel for short.
“… … I’m worried. Are you really okay?”
“After leaving the forest, witches are just ordinary girls. You don’t have to be so frightened.”
Me and Proud sat in the same seats as when we came. Fromm greeted with a smile saying, “You worked hard,” while Eugene was still away. He said that everything went well and seated Ethel there.
“Ugh. that… … What should I call you, Mr. Witch? Would you like some sweets?”
With a slightly nervous expression, Fromm took out a cookie from his pocket and held it out. Did you leave it for something to eat on the way back? Ethel accepted it and ate it.
“Mm, delicious. Sweets have been around for hundreds of years. It’s sweet.”
Concentrating on eating with crumbs smeared around his mouth, he looked like an ignorant little boy. As if Fromm was cute, Proud still looked at Ethel with a slightly uneasy expression.
“What is it, what is on my face… … buried It’s embarrassing, so stop watching.”
Ethel said, wiping her lips. As soon as we looked away from Ethel, the train jerked away. The scenery outside the window passed slowly and quickly.
“Oh, oh. What is this! awesome! Is this running?!”
“You explained everything before boarding. Didn’t you believe me?”
“I can’t believe that something this big can run. I was thinking that we would fight until gas erupted from the ceiling or until the last survivor was left.”
“I think it’s easier to believe that this one runs rather than the other two… … .”
Agreeing with Fromm’s point, I buried myself in the seat with a deep sigh at the thought that I had calmed down for the moment. When I saw Ethel staring out the window with twinkling eyes, I looked away in pain again.
‘It’s up to you to use it, but… … It’s full of troublesome work ahead.’
More than anything else, I was already half worried and half excited about how Katyusha would react.

When I returned to the knight academy and reported on the mission, the professors were shocked.
The fact that there might be an organization behind the elite remnants, as well as our response, was unreliable. However, records left on the communication table proved that to be true.
Of course, all the stories about witches were excluded. Even if I say it, it’s not going to help.
“If that is true… … . Ugh, where and how to report, this is… … .”
The assistant principal held his head and groaned as if he did not have the courage to report to the military. And he looked at me with an expression asking for help, but I completely ignored his gaze. My work alone is a pain in the ass here. I have no intention of taking over.
In any case, the report of the mission was over and the evaluation of ranks began.
The result, which came out a few days later, was an unprecedented target.
“Hey, is it okay to be this high? Something must be wrong… … .”
First of all, Mi-ryung, who saved me, achieved the biggest rise with her active work this time.
Power, which was not so bad originally, was raised to A rank, and magic, which was treated as almost non-existent, was raised to B+ with a large additional score for being able to resonate with the forest. This was the first time that the detective magic of beastmen was strategically recognized.
‘Even so, it’s a fairly unconventional rise.’
Perhaps the virtue of the act of saving me from falling was great. It seemed like they gave it to me in advance, because I would be in trouble if I protested. It would be nice if the awareness of beastmen could be improved through this opportunity.
“I didn’t do much, but I was very generous.”
“Don’t talk nonsense and be quiet.”
Dimitri and Caspal each made a big jump in their magical power ranks. Dimitri, who was originally high, went from A to A+, and Caspal went from B+ to A. At first glance, it was a small increase, but the difference of one square was a figure that was difficult to achieve even with considerable effort.
“Intellect, something is out of the blue. Did you like that hair?”
Fromm’s intelligence rank suddenly rose. Could it be that the technology of torture has been highly evaluated? It was clear that he was worried about where to reflect torture technology.
“… … B+.”
Eugene’s magic rank, which had not yet been measured, was judged as B+. In the initial ranking review, it is said that this level of rank is rare. Because it is the magical power of water, it may have been added.
“I haven’t done that much, but… … . It is too much.”
And Proud was greatly recognized for his performance this time, and all divisions became S ranks.
“I think the word overdeserved is what I would say.”
And I became an SS rank in power and magic. It wasn’t S+, it was SS.
His command and wit were also acknowledged, and he did not take a single test, but his intellect rose to an S rank. I thought I did well myself, but this was unexpected.
The new establishment of rank items, I wonder if it is too generous. I think SSS will come out soon. It’s not some kind of online gaming power inflation.
Other than that, most of the people who participated in the mission achieved an unprecedented rise in rank. Even a student who fell after being hit by a booby trap could climb up and say everything.
So, after becoming an SS rank international student, what am I doing now?
“That child was brought by the crown prince… … .”
“Did you say elf? It’s my first time seeing an elf.”
“I want to see it from the front… … .”
I was experiencing the feeling of bringing my younger brother to school and sitting next to him.
“How many hundreds of years have passed, but the theory hasn’t changed at all. Are humans developing properly?”
“Because truth doesn’t change that easily.”
there feat. It’s Katyusha. At least she wasn’t wearing a maid outfit, but at the point of sitting Ethel on her lap, she was drawing attention comparable to that.
“I don’t know what to say, but… … .”
“Shh! Get scolded for being rude!”
“That, right? huh. Just think in your heart!”
When I glanced at the talking students, they immediately became quiet. I wish I could have realized that it was class time before it was stern.
Well, even the professor has already forgotten that he is conducting a class and is glancing at this place with an interesting expression on his face.
It was obvious that I hadn’t heard what they were thinking. That’s it–.
“Since you’re doing this, you’re like a child between Michael and me.”
“You don’t tell me.”
It must be Katyusha’s words. would you please say
“It’s a joke. Well, if you think about it calmly, they only look like a brother and sister and a younger sister.”
“… … hahahaha. You’ve come to say something rather rude, Katyusha.”
“sorry. First of all, you are a student. I will be careful.”
Katyusha said politely, as if to apologize, but with an expression that could not hide a little pleasure. In the notebook spread out in front of him, he could see letters he had practiced in clumsy handwriting. It was the study of letters that made it seem like there was truth.
“Ha, who is the younger sister? Even the combined ages of everyone here are not enough for me.”
Ethel snorted. Wearing the slightly frilled outfit Katyusha had chosen for her, she looked like a proud young noblewoman. Even if you don’t like the buzz around you saying you’re cute, it keeps coming into your ears.
‘This is very tiring… … .’
Again, controlling variables is not always easy. I sighed lightly.
If it wasn’t really cute, I would have turned everything upside down.
Lunch break, student council room.
After experiencing a major incident where the corps commander visited me earlier, I quietly decided to have a meal in the student council room. Saying that, Proud was very happy.
“There will be a celebration soon.”
After finishing the meal with a sandwich he made himself, Proud opened his mouth to listen while eating.
“do?”
“yes. This is a banquet to celebrate the successful completion of the mission.”
By the way, Katyusha and Ethel are eating right next to each other. Ethel was happily eating the sandwich Proud gave her, and Katyusha, who finished her meal quickly, immediately swept away the crumbs Ethel spilled with a napkin.
“… … To put it simply, it’s like an after party.”
After staring blankly, I came to my senses and returned to Proud’s story.
“It is. It will be a big event with all the students who participated in the mission as well as outsiders.”
“As a representative, you have to say something.”
“Even so, I intend to do it.”
Proud said firmly. And he sighed softly, saying that thinking about the previous speech made me sweat. At that time, I was sorry in many ways.
“And I heard that some high-ranking people are also coming, but this is quite a headache.”
Proud touched his forehead as if he was really embarrassed. It was the first time I had ever seen Proud so exhausted, so I knew the situation was serious.
“… … Will the corps commander come again?”
“It is not.”
Proud shook his head.
“is it. This time, I was thinking of checking something from this side, but it turned out to be a pity. then… … .”
I thought of the influential iron blooded people. And an ominous feeling crept in.
“… … Could it be, could it be the emperor?”
“It really isn’t.”
“yes. huh. it should be I’m glad.”
Fortunately, my hunch was wrong. After sighing again, Proud spoke the correct answer.
“However, Chancellor Wilhelm is planning to visit.”
It was obviously a name that had a lot of weight, but was almost forgotten.
“… … Why is the chancellor here?”
In the original work, there were almost no chancellors appearing in military-related facilities. It was quite unusual for a man who rarely left his office to come to the knight academy.
“That’s right. Maybe he’s coming to see the Crown Prince.”
“I guess so. After all, there is nothing else.”
Is it proof that my existence is becoming something that cannot be ignored in Sangvis Sangvis? I was happy when I thought of that, but it was also annoying. After finishing a big mission, I wanted to take a leisurely rest for about a month.
‘But maybe now… … .’
This might be the best opportunity to tell the Chancellor about Parabellum.
‘Already, the direction with the original was changed immediately. It’s not bad to make a whole new story about what happened like this.’
Perhaps it could change the composition of the story from Iron Blood vs. Revolutionary Army to Iron Blood vs. Parabellum. I thought about it.
But it didn’t take long to realize that things couldn’t work out so well.
