Spring has come round again.

Beginning with the Chaos Dragon raid, there was a demonic leap, a mass fainting, and even a crusader incident -.

Safely celebrated the new year, he was first and foremost a reassuring king citizen.

Again Easwind, still Granferia. Hundreds of years of history and weight cannot be managed with some "loosening". This country goes on for eight thousand generations. People didn't question that and they were smiling the way they deserved on Spring Day.

But...

(Devil)

In the dark room, she was in the room with the curtains closed.

A girl dressed in a Royal School uniform, but with a hard look on her face, sitting on her bed. The silver-haired girl named Dorothea was the princess of neighboring Bartoloa for her second year of study abroad.

Relax just slightly, grip your fist hard. All she thinks about is "demons of the example". That brunette. Demons laughing naughty all the time.

(Guys. I can't throw it away anymore)

Dorothea has been looking into him for the past year.

He's a crook enough to leap into imperial territory and sneak into the fortress castle as well. Dorothea kept her suspicious eye on her native Bartolore for a long time, wondering if she was planning something different.

I let my men keep a close watch, too. I have also hired a well-armed informant. In the meantime, I was able to get some information like that...

I can no longer explore it for a long time.

The trigger is that case. Brother's distraction, third army rampage. That incident that could have been a spark of war, behind that incredible commotion. The man's leap has been confirmed.

It seemed like he was exploring something. Seemed ready for something. Keep in touch with the dragon man of the Golden Mansion and the Sister of the Church... That's how it happened earlier. After the end of the underdevelopment, there was also a major incident: the formation of the Crusades.

Ultimately, by the brave, I thought I had closed the curtain with "congratulations" -.

(Only me, I won't be fooled)

That man remains. That demon remains.

After all, "it had nothing to do with it"? Can we talk about something stupid like that? I just couldn't figure it out. I just didn't grab my tail. He must be playing a good citizen and laughing shiatsu behind it.

Until I know that, I can't go back to my home country. A true mastermind, a shadow mastermind. Dorothea was going to use any means until she dragged the devil out as a demon.

(Yes, for example)

Even putting myself in danger...

On the day the new semester begins, at Gran Feria in early April. Princess Dorothea had cemented her dark resolve.

Yes, we shouldn't end up with that.

Don't let that get you out of the curtain.

The spark is still there. There is still smoke in Wang Du.

Make it a big flame. Straw, burn firewood, and light up the dark night.

Doing so fills me up at last. Perhaps there will be an answer to this empty raw, the meaning of being born, one of them.

"Oh my goodness. Ha"

With more and more cloudy eyes, he looked up at the White Asia school building from behind the alley.

"Let's start again here!

On the morning of the entrance ceremony, in the auditorium of the Royal School...

The school director was sending a very thankful word to the students.

"We believed and did not doubt! that Easwind is a great power! that we are an excellent race! But all of that was nothing but a sandy cabinet! It was a trick! I was complacent! This past year, just one year of events, it all collapsed..."

"But this is a good opportunity. We found out. We don't want to be ourselves. This country, the imperfections of this era. Far from it altogether, our people, are still bud flowers. Shame on our previous chronic hearts, shame on our previous negligence, and we shall begin to re-depart from here!

"Fortunately, we were able to bring in some outstanding talent this year. Needless to say, Ms Eru, all the eminent ones will help you."

"Students, learn a lot! This is exactly the time for innovation!

"Old school still as evil, not once or twice!

"Grow up and nest. - Huh!!

"That's all the schoolmaster said."

Quiet auditorium. The applause echoed sparsely late.

I know what you're going to say, but I don't care, you seem overzealous. Nevertheless, that direction is not in itself incorrect. A chaotic dragon battle that ended mysteriously, with no hands or feet. The events of the past year have shaken the foundations of Easwind tremendously, making it unstable.

The result was nothing... If it had been an "irrevocable matter", the students would not have been in this school by now. Even that noisy schoolmaster might have been an unspeakable wreck, if only for a moment.

It is something that must not be "irrevocable" to the upper classes, the royal nobility, and those who protect and operate this country. To prevent it from happening, or to put it out even in flames, the students were once again trying to learn about "better themselves," "better power," and "better nation".

And in it, Dorothea...

(... Hmm)

After all, her only concern was with that brunette, just one.

I'm not interested in good teachers, etc. I'm not interested in reforming this school, either. Dorothea is trying to read what he does next, what he's up to.

But knowing it or not, he continues to have a mindless attitude. I guess I'm totally bored with the long story of the school director. As he blurred his yawn, he looked with a carefree eye and blurred in a direction unknown anywhere.

(Ku......! I dunno!!

Can you afford that, or is it an advanced pseudo?

If Dorothea's reasoning, and the information gathered, is certain, he must be involved in all the incidents that struck this country. The reform that the dean of the school just said, is also something that can be said about its causes. Yet why don't we even show a slight upset -!

(No way, I was wrong?

It was all a misunderstanding, just too much thought.

(No, you don't. No. That can't be happening)

I saw his face up close that night. I hear that voice and inscribe it deep into my brain as an unforgettable memory.

That's how the thief who snuck into Fortress Castle stood here. Even if everything else was a mistake, it was just that, in one matter, too much reason to ask.

(Yeah, so)

That's why.

(if I don't ask directly)

Strong thoughts were swirling inside Dorothea's chest.

Even after the opening ceremony, Dorothea was spending her home room in the sky somewhere above.

The change in class S tenure, the replacement of several classmates, the change in curriculum, the presence of an exchange at noon, it all goes through the ear and flows from right to left. That's what I should say about her, even in that state, it was a fine thing to grasp the content - though.

Still, other students were hesitant to speak up about Dorothea's condition.

As it was, an hour or two passed - when the clock was at noon, Dorothea finally saw movement.

"Ah, Mr. Dorothea"

"Which way?

Dorothea leaving the classroom without answering.

I could feel the signs of confusion, but I can't afford to leave it to her now.

It's time.

She had an appointment to meet me. The opponent is of course Nobuo Sayama, a man equal to his enemies for Dorothea. I left a letter in his locker at the end of the opening ceremony. Beyond the Princess's signature, the opponent is forced to come out.

That is, in the place designated by Dorothea, behind an unpopular old school building -.

(... there you are)

Nobita Sayama was standing alone.

"Eh."

…………

"Dorothea,?

…………

"I have something to do, don't I?

Obvious hostility was turned against him, and Guitar Sayama was bewildered.

An attitude that doesn't take a year to salute, touch the swelling. He cannot measure Dorothea's sincerity.

(As expected so far)

The instructor's mask still doesn't come off. He's still human.

But if it's really the devil. If only the devil had attacked Dorothea that night. You can't be unresponsive to this word -!

"Long time no see"

"... Huh?

"You took care of me at Fortress Castle. The devil with the fish head."

…………

Moment after moment, your face turned blue. At the same time, tension runs in Dorothea's mind.

Definitely. That demon is this man. Same person. Same existence. A black man riddled with mystery -!

Many words run through her. But he suppresses the impulse in a good way and tries to calmly utter fewer words.

"That face still looks like that demon."

"I took care of you then. Something I still dream about that night once in a while"

"That's why I looked into you. I wondered what he was like. I wonder what you're doing."

"Then only anxiety and suspicion increased. There have been shadows and traces of you in all of the incidents of the past year. Behind the calamity, there was always you."

"What are you, Sayamatakahiro? Human beings in this world? Demons of the Demonic Realm? Or the evil gods, the demon gods?

"I've been keeping my static eye on you so far... but I'm at my limit now!

"I'm not going to pull another step until I reveal who you are!

Once the weir was cut off, the words that had accumulated popped up like turbulence.

A Bartoloan who settles calmly, does not shake his heart, and makes the Ironman one ideal. I felt the fury that the princess didn't deserve, and still Dorothea couldn't stop herself.

"Answer me, Sayamatakahiro!!

"Who the hell are you!?

A knocking word. Strong emotions similar to anger.

The noble university that received it glanced at the slightest hesitation,

"I..."

"...... Huh!!

He opened his mouth...

At that moment!

Pern! Parallax! Parallax! Parallax!

Kah! No! Somebody!

""............... Huh?

I looked at both of them in the school building.

Somehow it's better over there - no, I feel the whole school is noisy.

What the hell happened? When you two are solidifying and listening to the hustle and bustle of the distance,

"Zah, zah."

The on-campus broadcast of unfamiliar voices began to flow from the trumpets prepared for all parts of the school, the magic props for communication.

"This school was occupied by us"

"We Are Under The Rose. It's an anti-government organization as you call it."

"It's bad for the diligent students, the good faculty."

"I'm going to take you hostages now!!

CARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Screams I hear again! Rupture sounds that tremble the eardrum!

The guards who are suppressed by terrorist attacks without any resistance whatsoever!

And looking at it from afar, the pair of you and Dorothea...

(Yep, yep...!?

It was too unexpected to stand up.
