"After all, there was nothing in the treasure trove itself that I wanted."

"I wish I had about two of the same swords, but that's not going to work."

After we finished looking, we were shown the treasure trove, but we still couldn't find anything we wanted.

The timing at which the example demon sword was brought in was miraculous, but that level of product still doesn't seem to be the case.

... I only found one demon sword as an example even using detective magic in the first place, so I wasn't expecting a second one.

Among the weapons that can be used against that class of demons, there is nothing else that can be easily searched for using detective magic props.

If there are other demons of equal strength to Zaridias, they must be defeated in other ways.

Nevertheless, it is very difficult to defeat enemies on that level without special demonic tools.

"The Demons could be defeated, but what are we going to do now?

"You start by restoring your health. In the battle against Zaridias, I was going to cut my life for magic, too."

"I shredded my life force!?

Listen to my words and Lurii will look surprised.

Well, I didn't teach you how to do this, so I can't help it.

I was the only one in my past life who used magic to shred my vitality and gain magic.

"Oh. I need some pretty special magic, and if you misadjust, you'll die instantly, so I won't tell you how for the time being."

"Oh, such magic...... But does vitality restore?

"If you stay at rest, you will recover for ten days or so. Until then, it will be safer not to leave the King's Capital with its great boundaries."

Ten days is a long, short day.

Deciding what to do next won't be a problem later.

Until then, let's just say we're going to have a proper time in the King's Capital.

The arrows that were retrieved by the Isis Chamber of Commerce may also be recoverable.

"Mr. Matthias, it's an emergency!

About a week has passed since I started staying in Wangdu to restore my vitality.

A few guards came to my inn.

This time it looks like a regular elite unit, not a Royal Direct Force.

Apparently, something's happened.

I don't see any flashy magic around Wang Capital... but what happened?

"Is that a demonic raid?

"No, the border territory was raided by the army, but because the situation is quite unnatural, we want to take Mr. Mathias' hand!... I'll give you the details in the soundproof conference room, so can you come to the first school in half an hour?

I see, war?

I'm curious about the unnatural situation, but why don't you just ask?

That is so......

"We're talking about war, and it's not the royal palace, it's the first school?

Indeed, there is no safer place in the King's Capital today than the First School.

The first school building is used by the second school, so students walking around the area are stronger than the elite units protecting the Royal Palace, and the building is quite sturdy.

Once the second school under renovation is completed, it will be the strongest fortress in Wang Du, but completion is still a long way off.

It's like a military school, so it's nothing strange that some of the equipment is lent to the military.

But instead of the royal palace, would you put the headquarters in the first school?

Even the Royal Palace is quite safe, and I don't think there's any reason to bother using the first school.

A guard answers that question.

"If we're going to wage war on a large scale, the Royal Palace is fine, but I'm afraid it's not... Conference Room 6 of First School is replacing the Operations Command Office."

Is there an option not to wage a major war when the territory of the border has been attacked?

From the diplomacy of our time, that sounds like a pretty special situation.

If some country sends troops to another country, it's basically an instant war.

That being so, what a first school would it have been in Conference Room VI?

I didn't see anything like it the other day.

... while I was thinking about it I dropped off the guards and called the Luriis who were staying in the next room.

"War... I don't really want to be in it."

"Talking about the guards, it doesn't look like they've decided it's war yet...... But why are we called?

The Luriis, who heard me, will be ready to go out, even as they talk about it.

Sure, it's pretty unnatural for us to be called.

We're adventurers, no matter how much power we have in the King's Capital... it's also a student on the paperwork.

If it's going to be a battle, it should be the military that moves first.

Suppose they call us before the army moves...

"Isn't it because of the special circumstances and the shooting? For example, you don't think the troops sent in are from neighboring countries."

Well, what's going on is if you go and you'll see.

At best, let's hope we don't get into trouble.
