The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

Poinix returned to Willidis.

I saw the snow until a few hours ago, but it hasn't come down around here yet. I saw a little white on Jarzy's ruling canigin territory, so I don't know if it would be a matter of time before I got down around here.

Until I arrived, I explained to Early that Riele and Kashihara were inhabitants of different worlds. The fact that the Great Empire summons such otherworldly human beings to use them for weapons, etc.

"That's terrible, really."

Early was feeling angry. From another world, not knowingly brought, and besides, the work of the Great Empire trying to convert to weapons.

"It's unforgivable to talk about Elisa being remodeled..."

Marcus and Yuna, who were listening, also nodded at Early's words.

That great empire is reaching out to the demons of its invasion to rule the continent. We are moving eastward and driving away the Union, while we are sending troops into this western country as well.

The invasion by the end of the year is not because I beat him back once, but I'm sure he'll try to attack me next spring.

"Jin has been preparing a lot, but I thought we shouldn't lose to that country more and more"

Oh, you're right. I agree - I concurred.

We have developed fighters, power suits and related equipment, but we will also develop intelligence networks to get information on the Great Empire. To know what enemy weapons are, their manoeuvres and the insides of the empire, and to prepare for the battle to come.

Now, after unloading the poinix and storing it in the hangar, SS mechanics checked and maintained the fuselage.

I told my colleagues who took up the assignment to get some rest. Me and Early, Marcus, naturally, the school's closed.

Before I took a break, I went to see how Reele and Habara were doing. SS-made Violetta led us through the big living room of Willidis Mansion.

Two people sitting on the couch. There were also Sakilis and Liana, and Mr. Daska. Sakilis was involved in martial arts tournaments, and he knew Leele and Habara, and Mr. Daska was one of those people who had fought face-to-face with them when I was fighting in the Union.

Needless to say about Liana.

"Ooh, gin. What the hell, the food here. That was so delicious!

Reele waved at me. He also wore the mundane devil's eye concealed eyelids. I had a spare... no, then I feel like I should have followed you after the fight.

Well, okay. When I snorted satisfactorily, I glanced at Shinohara and thought, "Oh. Shinohara was wearing glasses. Speaking of which, you're usually supposed to be wearing glasses, but I didn't care at all if you didn't wear them until just now.

It's just that what bothered me was the eyes behind it, not the glasses. It seems to be a little red because of my mind.... Were you crying a little?

"Is something wrong?

"Kind of."

Reele will look like a bad person.

"The food here was delicious, but I think Tomomi remembered my hometown, and I cried out..."

"I'm sorry, really. Because it tasted nostalgic. The food was very tasty!

Shinohara smiled. You can't do this, this. It hurts to watch.

I guess I've accelerated homesickness. How long has it been since you've been in this world? In the meantime, there would have been very little food eaten in Japan. Meat, vegetables, and soup can be thin or pale compared to the original world dishes.

A nostalgic flavour, huh?

"I'm glad it fits your mouth. I have dessert too, if you like."

I tried so hard to put it brightly, I took a seat.

Ask how Reele and Habara have been since they left the Kingdom of Verilardo. Then I told him of the description of the land we are in, Willidis, and that we are preparing for the war against the Great Empire. I picked them up, including that they were on their way back to carry out an intelligence operation to the Great Empire.

Reele opened her mouth.

"Did you release the grass (spy) to the Great Empire?

"They're expanding the war. Since I left the Union, I've been putting in some new weapons. It's inevitable, but gathering information is essential."

"You're seriously gonna crush the Great Empire, aren't you?

"I buy a sold fight, but I'm still in the middle of thinking about how to attach Keri"

I'm not going to be a hero by mistake. I don't mind crushing the enemy army with me and Willidis' arsenal, but I'd like to give it up somewhere about the political settlement and the subsequent fate.

In the first place, our army is overwhelmingly short of what it takes to have a decent war. It is the ability to occupy and maintain lands and bases after kicking enemies.

Sometimes there are no soldiers in the first place. The military is busy even where it hasn't fought, such as repairing equipment that has been destroyed in battle, the facilities and management that house prisoners, and the care of ordinary people.

Well, we just need to fight. Because I'm not going to be an invading army.

I don't need any help. I don't even need territory or compensation. I just want to live quietly and relax.

"So, what are you guys gonna do? Looking for a way back to the original world?

"That's right."

Reele, and Shinohara nodded.

"I have a family, and I want to go home as soon as I can..."

"Even here, we'll work together as much as possible"

between those in the same situation. I want to help you if you're in trouble because you're from the same other world.

I don't want to go home myself, but I don't know what's in the world, so if there's a way, I just want to know that.

Mr Daska opened his mouth.

"Now, let's get on with collecting materials and investigating different world summonses, even for me. Several books, some about it, so I'll see you later, if you like?

"There is. Please."

If Reele rode herself out, she dusted her face off like she was relieved, too.

"I sent spies to the Great Empire to put a stop to their interracial summons. It's not good to have more unhappy otherworlds than this"

"Oh, not at all"

"Excessive interracial summons won't be good for this world either."

Mr Daska said to agree. I go on.

"At the same time, I'm trying to get the operatives to steal their subpoena magic, rituals, and other materials. If you figure out how to summon another world, you'll find a way back to each world."

"Whoa, what the hell?"

Reele gave me a pulled grin.

"Kind of paved the way at once, didn't it? All right, Gin. I'm on it! I owe the Great Empire, and I don't want any more summonses. Let me help you."

"Let me work with you, too, while not extending."

Shinohara bowed his head.... you just keep your head down after we meet again.

"Nice to meet you. If you can find a way back to the original world, you can have it pulled out at any time you want. Until then, we'll take care of you."

In that case, we'll have to get a room for both of us. You need another build-up. Shit.
