"Mr. Tweet. Can I have a word?

The day after I fought the operative.

Shortly after lunch break, Mize accidentally called me.

"What's up?

"Well... I was just wondering."

That said, Mize turned her gaze lightly to those with Elysia and Gran.

Apparently, people don't really want to know about it, including Elysia and Gran. After this, the four of us plan to have lunch towards the courtyard, but because Mize has a serious look on her face, I shook my neck vertically "ok" and moved to a place where people have few ears and eyes.

"So, what happened?

"Actually... I was practicing exodus the other day and I found something weird."

"Weird stuff?

Mize nods and explains.

"On the wall of the field, something like a small magic fixture was embedded. It was camouflaged according to the pattern on the wall, so at first I thought it was an enemy team trap... I felt so different."

"What made you decide it wasn't a trap?

"My magic…" The Way of Wisdom Road "decided so."

That is a very definite basis.

Exodus is a competition for simulated labyrinth exploration by preparing maze-like fields. The walls used to build the field are already stored in the school warehouse, which is also used in practice.

"The magic incorporated inside probably does not belong to the Kingdom of Terraria. It's old knowledge, so there may be some difference… perhaps it's the magic of the Russian Empire in the North"

I was deeply distressed by the horrible Mize.

- It's a better force than I imagined.

Mize's magic "The Way of Wisdom" is quite suitable for action.

I removed some of the bombs planted on the tools last night, but I couldn't analyze them until I figured out how they would detonate. But Mize is perfectly capable of analyzing not only how the detonation works, but also to what national technology it is.

Besides, Mize is not just a student.

Its real name is Mescheriase-Alkedia. She is the second princess of the Holy Arkedia Kingdom.

The fact that the Lucian Empire is intervening in the Magic Competition Festival, one of the major events of the Kingdom of Terraria.... If she also had a certain understanding of the country's politics, she would have vaguely predicted what was already going on.

"I think it's conjectured, but the kingdom is now under attack from the Lucian Empire"

"… for the purpose of the Lusectus talks"

Boulders, quick to understand.

I shook my head in silence, and I kept explaining it in a whisper.

"Perhaps what Mize witnessed was a bomb planted by an imperial operative. The Empire is indirectly trying to crush the talks by destroying the Magic Festival"

"... are you ready to deal with it?

"We're dealing with something like that right now. To avoid confusion, I want you to keep this a secret."

"I understand. … what should we do with the bomb"

"I'd like to collect more than I've found."

Mize discovered the bomb because she had the Way of Wisdom. I don't think other students will find it easy, but I'll handle it just in case.

"Let's mix it up."

That's when two men and women appeared from behind.

It was Elysia with an invincible grin and Gran showing that she couldn't resist somewhere.

"... were you listening? I was careful about the signs around me."

"Ligament, if adjusted, can also enhance your senses."

That's what Elysia said, fingering her ears gently.

I see. Did you enhance your hearing with Ligament? … Unlike strengthening physical abilities, it shouldn't be easy to intensively enhance certain senses.

But it's dangerous.

"It's dangerous."

Elisia turned off her grin and said with a serious face.

"As an aspiring knight, I can't see it. If your classmates are involved, it's all the more important."

Elysia showing her sense of justice. For that serious reason, I couldn't find a word to give back.

Then, Gran also opens his mouth like he's ready.

"All this time, let me stick my neck in it too.... you don't have to tell me why, do you?

"... oh"

To the Gran, no matter how many arguments you line up, you won't be able to stop it.

Gran is definitely the one of us who is most in the mood for this competition festival. You can't be crushed by a competition festival to repay the king of the Vahribal kingdom.

Not only Mize, but Elysia and Gran are excellent for students as well.

If I can borrow your hand, honestly, I appreciate it.

Besides, this time - I'm not acting as a soldier in an ex-institution, either, but as a single student.

The position is the same as that of the three people in front of us. I have no right to stop.

"Then we'll share the information again."

After heading into the courtyard, I gave the three of them detailed information.

From the purpose of the Lucian Empire, to the fact that I fought with agents last night. I'll sort out what we need to do after I tell you the dangers of things.

"I know what's going on."

I told her how good Elysia was, and she looked at me.

"You were able to dismantle the bomb planted on the Wingboard."

"Oh. Other than that, I'm still out of reach.... It takes longer than I thought to dismantle the bomb. Get ready for a long fight."

It took me a while to dismantle, so last night, I stopped working.

Better manpower than time consuming. I really appreciate Elysia and the others offering to help.

"Shouldn't we talk to the student council?

I'll answer Gran's question after I think about it.

"... no, don't do it yet"

"Hmm? Why?

"I'll talk to you later. Not yet...... no certainty"

Convince Gran, who seems strange, somewhat forcefully.

You shouldn't inadvertently share all this to avoid confusion. - Poor sharing of information increases the risk of motion being detected by the mastermind (...).

"Let's split up and find the bomb first. Me and Mize will check the tools we use in the Eagles, so Elysia and Grant will check the Lions' tools."

Copy that.

Gran shakes her neck vertically with a serious face.

"But that one. I feel like I'm finally here."

Well, Elysia said.

When you shut up not knowing what you're talking about, Mize and Gran smile.

"Right."

"Right."

The way you two are, I don't know what it means anymore.

"What?

When you question the three of them, Elysia smiles.

"Finally, I can fight you side by side."

When I heard the words, I remembered what had happened since I had enrolled in school.

Right. Speaking of which - I've been moving to keep these three out of this as much as possible.

I have no basis, but an intuition close to certainty.

I'm sure I'm going to have more fights in this position. Conversely, the position of a soldier in an ex-institution should fade slightly.

I honestly think it's a good change.

The war ended and I jumped out of the "back" with little thought... but compared to those days, I am definitely new to myself.

"I'm counting on you."

When I told them so, the three laughed happily.

"Yes."

"Yes!"

"Leave it to me!"
