I think I'd better be going.
Take care of the Seventh Warded City, Mr. Uriah.
Yes!


　A few days have passed since then. We had to return to the Seventh Knot City.

　The security of the First Knot City has been strengthened considerably, and the placement of special class anti-magicians has been changed in various ways. There was the matter of the traitor, but it was because they needed to fulfill their duty of protecting the city as usual. Besides, it was originally not a good idea for the special class anti-magicians to be concentrated in one city.

　Also, since then, investigations have been made into the special class anti-magicians, royalty, and the upper echelons of the military, but as expected, there's no way to find out with that, and the case of the traitor will continue to be investigated as is.......

　Furthermore, through this case, it was decided that me, Sherry and Sofia would be transferred from the Counter Demon Academy to the Counter Demon Army. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what to expect when you're in your own home. By the way, it seems that Eira-senpai is also going to become a soldier because of this matter. Until now, he was a student for various reasons, but he said that was the end of that too.

　This time, the First Boundary City was in chaos and the anti-demonic army couldn't function properly. There was no time to form a formation, just a chaotic battlefield. Even with that in mind, it's clear that everyone, including me, was at a loss for peace. It's because we had the belief that no battles occur within the Kekkai City. Based on that, a decision was made to further strengthen the military. I've heard that becoming a soldier is part of that policy.


''Hey Julia, who's the other special class anti-magician?''
Well I haven't been told about it yet either.
It's so late.......how much longer do we have to wait.......
'Sofia, you can't blame them for waiting. I've heard they have a lot of preparations to make.


　Yes. And this time, it seems that another special class anti-magician is coming to the seventh ward city this time. I haven't been told who it is, so I don't know yet.......


''Hey, Yulia.
'Eira-senpai!　No way...!
'Yes. I'm in the Seventh Ward City too. It's nice to meet you.
...I'm surprised. It's a fate, isn't it?
'Yes. So, see you soon, Julia.
Yes!


　Finally, Silas-san came up to me and Eira-senpai and said



''The matter of the traitor I want you to explore it over there as well. I asked. We'll work on it, and the Intelligence Bureau will work on it, but I want you guys to be careful.
Yes, sir.
Okay, okay.


　We then climbed into the carriage and headed back to the Seventh Boundary City.



　◇



　I shrank into a corner in the carriage and watched the scene outside in a daze.


　It was over. Those raging days really did seem like a moment. I became a special class anti-magician and then attacked him. He also fought Dan, and finally the ancient spider 《Enchemental Spider》. Then the existence of the Betrayer was revealed.


　The days in the twilight were harsh, but the days in this bounded city were also extremely harsh. But now ... maybe I can take some rest. I have decided to say goodbye to the past and move on. Regardless of what lies ahead........I will.......


　And so, in the swinging carriage, I surrendered to sleep.


"Yulia, Yulia........wake up!
...hmm?
We're here!
'What?　Sherry, you're joking again...
It's true!


　And when I looked outside, I saw a city that seemed familiar even though not that much time had passed there. I don't know how long I've slept since then... I found myself back in the seventh ward city.


''Everyone's already gone. Let's go too.''
Yes.


　I got out of the carriage with my bags on my back.

　Looking at the streets, it was very peaceful here. The events in that first ward city still flicker in my mind. There are things I could have done better.... But even if I regret it, I need to use it in the future. I've decided that stopping is the end of it.


'Julia are you okay?'
Are you the one who's done with it, Shelly?
'I didn't fight that much, and Yulia was the only one who could help me.
....
I want to be strong. I want to fight for humanity... but there are things I can't do no matter how strong my feelings are. So that's the kind of world Julia has been fighting for.
'Well it's not as bad as that, but it's close. I was on the verge of living or dying for a long time. To say I miss it isn't a good word, but that feeling has always been there.
I've decided!　I'll be stronger!　Now I want to be able to protect more people so that I can protect more people... I want to be strong!


　A strong heart. I was honestly impressed. After all that has happened, he still has the will to move forward. It's not surprising that his heart was shattered by the incident. In my case, it's a little better because I had two years in the twilight... but I'm still not used to the death of people. But with that included, we should be strong. No we should be strong.

　After Dan, this attack, and the traitor, we need to get past all of that and achieve our goal of losing the twilight and reclaiming the earth.


'You'll be training when we get back, Shelly.
I'm going into the military, and I'm sure there will be grueling training ahead.
Yeah. But Sherry will get over it.
Thanks.


　Seeing her smiling at me with a smile, I thought to myself, "I haven't abandoned humans yet.......


　◇


So, when I said I'd be living in a dormitory, my dad said...
Yes.
What is it?　Even though I'm a special class anti-magician, I'm worried about going to another city or something... But Yulia is there too, so my mom agreed...
Yes.
So, yeah.


　The time was 11pm. After that, we were moved to the military's dormitory, and while we were packing our bags and arranging our rooms, it was already this late.

　By the way, it's a proper men's dormitory this time. Sherry, Sophia and Eira seniors are in the women's dormitory, but the buildings are next to each other, so the distance is close. I'm sure that's why it's easy to move around, but for some reason Eira has come to my room.

　No, it's fine that she's coming. She said she wanted to talk to me about her future plans and whatnot.

　Eh?　That's not alcohol, is it?　I drink it too but it's just juice.


　Like Claudia, bonk bon!　I wish it was like...
Huh, huh...
But see, I'm pretty, aren't I?　Wouldn't that cover it?
I think she's more beautiful than pretty, though.
''f*ck it!　You're very flattering!
Ouch!


　A bashin and a tap on my shoulder. No, it hurts............it's just plain painful. You need to be careful with your strength.........

"And now you're nagging me to get married soon.........
You're early.
Hmm. But he said that the genes of a high grade witch doctor are very important. I'm supposed to think about my feelings too!
Well....


　For the next two hours or so, the older man went on complaining. I discovered that women complain for a long time...and I discovered something new.


　And many things happened, but this is how we became soldiers and fought against the demon race in earnest.
