Since then, Princess Lianne and I have been investigated at the top of the army as well as at the top of the elite anti-magician team. I don't know much about her abilities as a saint, but she is able to peek into other people's memories. As a result, Princess Lianne was able to see the memory of everyone. Of course, there may be memories that others don't want to know, but we can't say that anymore. Because we all need to work together, and now it's time to face this evening head-on.
"... in the morning"
I wake up as usual. The decision to meet in the conference room at the royal castle last night meant that it would happen earlier than usual today. That said, it was only about an hour early, but I still had a feeling that a new day would start today.
And I was given a vacation, and it ended yesterday, and from now on, I will continue to fight in this world as a soldier... but what will happen to me, Senpai, Shelley? I may have been told to the other two, but I haven't heard anything yet.
I have both the Magus and the human traits, and I still have to prepare for what happens now.
Take a shower. It's my usual routine, but I don't have that long hair anymore. With my short hair, I quickly finished showering and went straight to the royal castle.
"Yulia, it's been a while. Besides... it's quite refreshing."
"Sherry, since then. Well, that's right... this is a good opportunity, so I hung up."
"That's right. I think my short hair suits me very well. Still, I'm a little nervous...."
"Hahaha, well... I was nervous the first time."
On the way to the royal castle, I met Shelley on foot. [M] She got out of the hospital soon afterwards and seems to be feeling pretty well. As usual, they have recovered to the point where they can fight.
"Speaking of which, what happens to sequences?
"Hmm, I wonder. If it goes right, it'll keep going, right?
"Hmm. Then I'm going down to Julia's."
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
With that conversation, we enter the royal castle. Every day the battle began again like a lie. But I didn't know. From today on, our lives will change dramatically.
◇
"There's nobody here."
I wonder if you came too soon.
We come to the conference room for a round table. [M] Nobody seemed to be here now, and there was silence indoors. And when the two of you sit next to each other, the faces of the Premium vs. Mages come in one after the other.
"Hey, Julia. And Shelley."
"... thank you"
"Senpai Eira, thank you very much."
"Yeah. Thank you, Shelly."
When the three of us were talking like that, it seemed that the superior magicians around were staring at it. I'm sure you already know...
The three of us are alien.
"... everyone, please take your seats. I'll tell you everything this time."
That's what Princess Lianne came in for. You might wonder why she's... but now Princess Lianne is a saint. Beyond human beings, I know the memories of everyone here. Then it's only natural to be here.
"Well, I've peeked into all the memories of everyone here. And let me assure you. There are no more traitors."
Traitor. # 1 in the Premium vs. Wizard family, Cyrus. Claudia, 7th in the Premium vs. Magus Series. Ellie, who was ranked tenth in the Premium vs. Mage series, was killed, along with the two who were traitors. I didn't see her last moment, but I had a conversation with her at the end. It was in the magic of the Forbidden Curse Mystery "Sacramento"...
"Let's start with the announcement of a new Premium vs. Mage. Here you go, Shelly."
"Yes"
Shelley, sitting next to her, stood up and greeted her.
"I'm Sherry Ames. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for your appointment to the prestigious position of Master versus Mage... and I would like to express my sincere and sincere gratitude to all of you for this humanity. Thank you very much."
Lastly, lower your head and sit down. There was no particular point from anyone this time. I'm sure you're admitting it. She fights as a new Premium vs. Mage.
"Now... I think you know, but I will share the information again. The traitors were Cyrus and Claudia. The goal was to liberate the Cephalotto tree" Tree ", but I don't know the details. And the identity of Cyrus is the Magus. A special individual who freely manipulates the magic form and the natural region" Personal Field ". And Claudia is an artificially created creature with two components: Magus and Man. Developed by Freesia Rosenkreutes. She appears to have been born after a massive human experiment underneath this castle. And... here we are, Julia, Sherry, and Ella too..."
The truth is told again. I'm not upset about that anymore. Facts are facts, just swallow.
"Well, let's ask it here. Do you think these three need special treatment?
……
A quiet room. Yes, we all have elements of the Devil. I have no intention of rebelling against humanity, but some people may feel uncomfortable if they are asked whether they can be completely trusted. This is an extremely serious question. And I'll take that answer from the front.
"... I... have no objection... I don't know who they were born into... or who they were born into... but I think the three of them are human beings... and everyone knows that they fought hard..."
It was Mr. Bell who opened his mouth first. And that was followed by Mr. Roy.
"I don't mind. Besides, I don't think these three will betray humanity anymore. Hey, you guys have no problem with that, do you? Hey?"
Everyone nods when they say so. Apparently, it didn't seem like anything was going on with us.
"It would be helpful if you said so. So let's move on to the next topic. I've seen Claudia's memories, but the city's boundaries are still quite effective against the Demons. Rather, we are late in this case, but we have been protecting humanity for centuries, and the boundary is perfect. It turns out that destruction from the outside is completely impossible. The Magus doesn't seem to have that kind of power either. That's why we've already talked about it at the top of the military... and humans are about to launch a full-fledged dusk offensive."
……
Danger zone at dusk, tactical operation. It's been done in the past, but it's all a failed operation. Will the previous one be thirty years old? Humanity has not progressed yet. The reality is that even level 1 of the Twilight Hazard Zone is not entirely under control.
"Previously, there was at least one Premium vs. Mage in seven cities. Worst case scenario, specifically to deal with the demonic invasion. But don't worry about it. The city's defenses are perfect unless you break into the sanctuary. That's why all Premium Warriors are required to fight on the front lines in this operation. Okay, I'll say it again. All Premium Warriors fight on the front lines."
"... excuse me. Isn't that too reckless?"
Yes, it was Gil, the oldest, who sandwiched his mouth. But the point is also true. Like Cyrus, there may be others who will break into the sanctuary and break the line.
"Certainly, the likelihood that something like this will happen is not zero. But we have to do it here. The saints are born again, and even by chance, there are three more than human beings on our side. Fighting power, perhaps the best in human history. And if we don't go here, when do we go? If we step on our feet, the Demons may be able to save our feet again. Besides, the Demon side seems a little busy in the other war. Considering all the circumstances, this time we will execute the operation with maximum combat power. Of course, I will join the command."
No one can say anything to her laid-back behavior. There were no objections or objections. Humans who have been made to taste bitterness must not be timid here. Don't sit and wait.
Yes, we have no choice but to proceed. I can't go back... anymore.
"Now, finally, let me tell you about the reorganization of the sequence. Basically, there are people out of sequence, so they just go up. The first place in the new sequence is the bell. But there's only one exception...."
Exception? What do you mean? With that in mind, Princess Lianne looks at me. [M]
"Yulia-san. You are already the best combat force mankind can have. Perhaps the most powerful anti-magician in human history. It was decided at the meeting above, where you decided to take the zero position in the sequence. They will be positioned in the only unique sequence that does not change. As humanity's greatest hope, you will continue to be active. Are you sure?
"Sequence zero?
"Yes, you know what I mean? I don't know about my abilities."
"Of course I know that."
"I also know your traits and all your abilities when I look at your memories. With that in mind, you are already... well beyond the realm of men. Perhaps the Demons will be able to compete against you. Will you lead us as the new most powerful anti-magician of mankind?
"... I see. I will do my part until this life burns out."
"Yeah. Thank you, Yulia-san."
That's how I came to zero in the Premium vs. Magus series. Hope for a new humanity. It's too heavy a title for me now, but I'll be the right person for it. [M] The game is already being thrown.
