An Unexpected Appearance
“Yeah, yes.”
Scarlett Marche answered so simply, I narrowed my eyes and looked at her.
As if I wasn’t the only one surprised, Duke Epsylt also made a puzzled expression.

Judging from Scarlett Marche’s personality, I could roughly guess what she was thinking.
she says
“Of course there are a few things to check. First of all, if you can’t offer your neck, you’ll have to at least risk something corresponding to that, right?”
“… Of course.”
“And, how are you going to check the facts? If you’re thinking of putting on a play that isn’t even funny like today… ”
Scarlet Marche crosses her arms, glancing at Countess Mary Ansberg.
The countess blushed, but she couldn’t refute.
The prince tried to say something, but the head of the guardsmen spoke ahead of him.
“Don’t worry about that. His Majesty the Emperor has proposed the dispatch of an imperial investigation team.”
“Come on now. Right after the incident happened, I stayed still, and only after I declared war.”
Scarlett muttered in a hoarse voice.
At any rate, at least it seemed to be true that the Emperor wanted to intercede.
At the sudden appearance of the imperial investigation team, Oscar Schupelz and Duke Epsylt had a small talk.
In the meantime, I talked to Scarlet Marche.
“Lord of the Magic Tower?”
“yes?”
“If Leo Epsylt’s allegation turns out to be true, that’s fine, and if the other side insists it’s not, did you just accept it with the intention of going to war?”
“You are sharp, boy.”
Also as expected
There must be a reason why this human so easily accepted Duke Epsylt’s offer.
It’s a negotiation anyway, and it’s not even starting right now, so I just say I’m accepting the offer.
If the result is good, that’s it, and if it comes out unfavorably, it’s just a plan to overturn the game.
However, the problem is.
“If we disregard the conclusions made by the Imperial Family Investigation Team and start a war, then the Imperial Family could really take the side of the Epsilt Duke.”
Now, not the imperial family, but to be precise, the imperial faction is on the side of the Duke of Epsilt.
It is unlikely that the emperor will remain silent if he starts a war ignoring even the results of the investigation by the investigation team sent by the emperor himself.
If the results are good, that’s the best.
If not, it might be better to reject the negotiation and start the war right now.
And, the answer of Ma Thapju to this.
“I don’t know.”
“ah.”
“Whether the opponent is a duke or the imperial family, we just have to destroy them all.”
“You are wonderful.”
He’s a really helpless person.
To be honest, it’s cool though.
Having said that, Mattapju glanced at Count Wallenstein’s side.
The Count nodded his head slightly.
What.
what the hell
“And that’s right. Don’t worry too much, boy.”
What does it mean that you just said you would fight the imperial family, so don’t worry?
“The current emperor is keeping the prince’s power in check. At least I’m not going to take the prince’s side on purpose, so rest assured.”
“Aha.”
By the time we were having such a short conversation.
Whether the prince and the duke have finished talking, they open their mouths again.
“Okay. We, the Duke of Epsilt, agree to accept the terms.”
The two stared at Scarlett Marche.
“Yeah, what. I like it too.”
“Um, um. How great it would be if it came out like this from the beginning!”
The prince speaks in an annoyed tone.
Even though Oscar didn’t seem very pleased with the out-of-the-way imperial investigation team’s intervention.
This did not mean that he was dissatisfied at all.
Anyway, since he has influence in the imperial family, he thinks he can put pressure on the investigation team or something.
“Then, let’s finalize the things we discussed today in writing.”
When the SS division commander said that, this one who appeared to be an official from the back came out with a parchment.
‘Is everything ready? But why didn’t he start from the beginning?’
Perhaps that person, the head of the Royal Guards, deliberately let the prince run amok.
That thought crossed my mind in an instant.
Anyway, now it doesn’t matter.
The official writes on parchment what was discussed at today’s meeting.
“Everyone check, and if there are no problems, please sign.”
Be sure to document it.
If the investigation team sided with the Duke of Epsylt, it would be quite difficult for the owner of the Mage Tower.
The duke checked the parchment and, without hesitation, signed it.
A little worried, Scarlett Marche also signed the parchment.
“Well, this is it. Then, as written here, from now on, any fighting between the Mato and the Duchy will be… ”
“I get it.”
Hearing the words of the SS division commander, Scarlett waved her hand as if it was annoying.
Duke Epsilt speaks as if he was waiting.
“Master Matap, let me know that you made a mistake.”
The Duke of Epsilt gives an eerie laugh.
Against him, Scarlett Marche also laughs.
“Let’s see you somewhere.”
Leo Epsilt sees us and growls in a low voice.
“Look forward, it will make you regret it terribly… ”
smart.
Leo Epsilt’s not-so-funny threat was interrupted by a knock from outside the door.
Everyone’s eyes turned towards the door.
“what… ?”
The prince who murmured so.
As he blinks, one of the attendants hurriedly trots out.
Open the door slightly, and have a small conversation with someone through the slightly opened door.
The attendant rushes back to the prince and whispers something.
“What? what does that mean… ”
“Ah, can I go in now?”
A familiar voice came from outside the door.
“Wait a minute!”
Despite the management’s urgent restraint, the door opens wide.
squeaky.
“Everyone, are you happy?”
It was the president of Helon Academy who shook his head and said hello.
It was Luisa Falken.
‘Why is the president here?’
Maybe it was all Scarlett Marche’s plan!
I turned to Scarlett Marche with a surprised face.
However, the problem was that Scarlett Marche also had a face that did not understand English.
‘What, didn’t you call it?’
As if reading my expression, Scarlett Marche shook her head.
I suddenly have an ominous feeling.
Well, it’s been a while since the incident happened.
So far, the academy has been strangely silent.
At most, he called the cadets including us and asked what had happened.
So far, there has been no punishment for Leo Epsylt, nor even an expression of his position.
Perhaps, the chancellor had something to say with the Duke of Epsylt…
What if the president was called from the other side, even at this place?
I looked back at the Duke and Prince of Epsylt with an uneasy mind.
‘yes?’
And, is it fortunate?
The prince and the Duke of Epsylt were also taken aback.
Eventually, the prince, who came to his senses, cleared his throat and spoke.
“Hmm. Yes, Chancellor Louisa Falken. How rude is this?”
“That’s rude. What are you talking about to the person who came to help with the negotiations?”
Saying that, the president calmly crosses the room.
“You don’t need it, and you never called me? No, I have something to tell you while I am here.”
The prince sneered and said.
“A swarm of monsters, including gargoyles, appeared in a place designated as a practice evaluation area. As a safety device, the provided collar didn’t even work. In fact, isn’t the academy the biggest responsibility for this situation? What do you think, Chancellor?”
“That’s very rude.”
Answering that, the president naturally picked up the parchment lying on the table.
“Well… Is it like this too?”
The president scans the parchment and mutters that.
The knights, embarrassed by the unexpected situation, only now come forward.
The knights surrounded the general with their swords drawn.
Ignoring this, the president, who was reading the parchment, bursts into laughter.
“Ahaha! You’ve already signed it! What a coincidence!”
“Answer me, Principal. How did you come to know this place? did someone call And, why did you appear?”
At the prince’s growl, the principal puts the parchment down on the table and claps his hands.
“No one called. I came alone. And good news, I think I can help you guys!”
“I don’t know what rudeness this is now, but I don’t need your help at all.”
Duke Epsilt says:
“ha… Oscar-kun, and Konrad-kun. This is really sad.”
Contrary to the words of regret, Luisa Falken was smiling like a devil.
She grabbed the knights’ swords in her hands and pushed them to both sides.
The knights are pushed away helplessly while bewildered by the formidable power that does not fit their physique.
Even while watching the scene, the SS chief remained still.
Luisa Falken places a crystal ball on the table.
“This… ?”
The prince murmured, and the president manipulated the crystal ball back and forth.
Soon, a magical image that floats over it like a hologram.
What appeared there was the figure of a man.
He was smiling, but there were tears marks on his face.
His eyes were full of fear, and even that smile was twisted.
In the video with a bizarre atmosphere somewhere, a man opens his mouth.
“I, uh, my name is Beth and Bennet, the assistant at Helon Academy.”
Hell yeah finally
