He was interrogated about various circumstances and released after noon the following day.

After all, Ms. Linde was aware of Austin's suspicious movements and appeared at the school festival after the investigation. And the incident actually happened, leading to the capture of Austin Mayan with me. The story narrated roughly.

In fact, it was true that Linde was distrustful about Austin and was questioning Austin about the appearance of the Devil's Faith.

Perhaps Linde will now share the information she has gained with me with Zodiac people to be more specific. Abyss and the Devil's Faith... I can't tell you that there is no such connection.

Rather, the rise of Abyss may have dragged them to the forefront.

I couldn't believe Russia when I thought there was still a demonic faith underwater that I didn't know existed.

I don't know how much disaster that caused...

But Zodiacs seemed to understand it to some extent. They are exploring their trends and trying to stop them before they do. To avoid repeating the mistakes of a thousand years ago.

The outside was already finished cleaning up and returning to London Magic School as usual.

After all, I hardly enjoyed it.

Senpai Homura, who met him on the way out, said, "What's the matter? Make a face that doesn't float. The school festival will be next year.... well, I guess I had a lot of bad feelings while we were at the parade... Fufu, I'm glad you're okay. Thank you," she said, thanking me.

There must have been something I thought of as Mr. Homura. I took the gratitude honestly.

At least let's say that Homura-san and the senior students and the general audience can enjoy it.

With that in mind, I sit on the bench.

I need to talk to Kuro again about this. You must know something. You're not going to live long with Date.

Too much to think about... I'll leave it to Zodiac...

It's time... for me to move out in earnest.

"Ah, I was here! I'm looking for you, Gil!

Oh?

And Yufi rushed towards me thinking about wrinkling between my eyebrows.

"Oh, Yufi, aren't you home already?

"Yeah, it's a boulder... I can't go home today without worrying about it."

"I knew you were scared... I'm sorry I got into this."

That's right. It wasn't necessary for Yufi to go through that experience. It is no exaggeration to say that I injured myself.

I'm so sorry.

However, Yufi's response was different.

"No! Well, I was a little scared... No, it's Gil."

"Me?"

"Yeah. I was scared of yesterday's Gil... and I was worried about what I would do if I hadn't gone back to my usual Gil... or if Gil was feeling better."

I didn't expect such words to come out of Yufi's mouth, but I opened my mouth reflectively to tear it up. But Yufi's face was really serious when she talked, and she told me that she was worried about me from the bottom of her heart, and I closed the mouth I was about to open.

"... but it's still a little dark."

"... well, it may have been a little dark just now. But thanks to Yufi, I feel a little refreshed."

Really?

Oh, thank you.

Yes, I... have something to protect in this age.

Unlike all the six heroes who fought behind their backs, Yufi, everyone at school, and finally Linde and everyone who knew Yufi's workshop.... Anyway, I may not have been able to say anything dramatic about peace forever...

"... how was school festival?"

"Hmm, that was the one...."

And Yufi smiled bitterly.

"But it was fun. I feel like I'm one step closer to my dream."

I see.

"Yes! As a magician, I learned a lot. It was also fun to deal with customers. I'm still just an apprentice in the store... ask me if anything happens again!

That's how Yufi smiles.

Don't tell me to be careful. Looks like I'm serious. I knew Yufi was an honest guy.

"- I see. Please do it again. I won't let that happen again."

"Yeah! I got it! Protect me next time!

"I know."

This is how our school festival ended.

Eventually, the incident ended with a perception of the extent of simultaneous and frequent harassment by the non-magicians. Only me, Linde, Yufi, and the headmaster saw Austin Mayan's murder in person. Zodiac information manipulation. Put a lid on the smelly stuff.

But it is also close to its limit.

I was slightly disturbed that the little incident at this school festival might just be the beginning of a big upcoming stream.
