The Master comes into the house looking quite angry. And Alexia and Helen-san behind them seem pretty angry too. What's going on?

'Master, thank you for yesterday. Thank you for bringing me here.

'Oh, you're awake. Well, that's good to hear. I'm glad to see you're safe and sound from that guy. That's my boy.

　When my master knew I was awake, he gave me a very soft smile, as if his earlier anger was a lie. On top of that, he compliments me and pats me on the head. It's kind of embarrassing.......

''That's really good. When Helen and I were at the academy with our master, Ray's magic power suddenly swelled up. And that other person's magic power was also incredible. I wanted to go along with Master, but the other party said it was dangerous, so I had no choice but to wait for him to go alone, so I had to wait for him.

　Alexia says. I knew it was enough to know this much.

''And the army was almost there.

　Helen smiles. Seriously. I guess she knows I thought that, and Helen-san says, "It's okay. The headmaster properly stopped me," she laughs. That's good to hear.

''So, what happened?　Everyone was afraid of the atmosphere, I guess.

　When I say that, Alexia and Helen-san turn red in the face. The master saw that.

Ha-ha-ha, you're both scared.

　And I'm laughing to myself. No, it was my master who was the scariest. Oh well. Anyway, let's get them to sit down to listen. I took everyone to their seats and then asked them to tell me why they were angry.

　~~~~ Alexia side~~~.

'Master!　Are you sure there was nothing wrong with Ray!

　I say strongly to my mentor in my worry. It's been four years since Ray and I met, and I haven't seen Ray so debilitated in the four years I've been with him. Ray always comes back to me with a smile on his face, despite what he says. Oh, I love Ray like that!　

　It used to be so cute to see him try so hard to make a serious face with that adorable face. It's a shame he's grown up and lost a bit of his cuteness now, but on the contrary, he's getting cooler!　That's what I think of it, and I'm still very fond of Ray. That's what I'm thinking about.

'You've been very persistent, Alexia. Ray is fine. It's just a magical depletion caused by Ray using his trump card. He's been asleep for a day since yesterday; a day's sleep and he'll be fine.

　The master says. Ugh - no matter how many times I hear it, I still worry about it!　And Helen is also sozzled next to me. Huh, I really wanted to stay at Ray's house and take care of him.

''Master, so how will you report to your father?

Hmm?　It's just a matter of telling it like it is. In fact, the center of that forest has almost disappeared and it will take a long time to return to normal. Besides, there are probably people who are aware of that magic. If you can't hide it, you'll just have to say it.

　The master says this and crosses his arms and closes his eyes. Right now we are on our way to the royal palace in a carriage. The reason is to talk about the incident in the forest that happened yesterday.

　With that much roaring and thundering, and that magical power occurring so close to the royal capital, the directness and military vigilance was put in place. On top of that, the ministers had gathered at the royal palace, and it was decided to send an army there to check it out.

　However, my master, who was the first to find out what was happening, stopped me. He said that he would check it out first and report back to us.

　I'm sure that the thunderclap and the magical power of the sun's thunderclap and the magic power of the sun's thunderclap immediately made it clear to both of us that Ray was involved, and after four years of being together, I can only understand the magic power of the person I love!　Helen was too shy to say it, but she definitely knew that vibe.

　Then we were rocked by the carriage for a few minutes. We arrived at the Royal Palace. Then we walked into the royal palace. The soldiers are standing around more than usual, probably because the cause is still unknown.

　We walked up to the audience room and entered, where the ministers were lined up on either side of us, with your father sitting at the far end. ........Why is Uncle Gurtas there? He doesn't usually come out for political affairs, but he only comes out on these occasions.

Raymond. I've been checking on that forest thing.

　When I was thinking about that, Master speaks to your father. It's a way of speaking that would normally be considered impolite, but Master is allowed to do so. He's been a swordsmanship instructor for the royal family for a long time, so he's very trustworthy.

''Oh, headmaster. Sorry for the trouble. So, how did it go? If there is no danger to the royal capital, I would like to lift the alert as soon as possible. The people would be worried too.

'Oh, there's no danger now. They left when I did.

　When Master said this, your father said something to Gain, who was right behind him. Perhaps he was trying to tell him to lower his guard. And then.

''So, Headmaster. What was the cause of that thunderclap and all that?

　That's when the master begins to explain. That Ray had gone with his classmates to receive a request from the Adventurer's Guild. That he had met a demon tribe in the forest where the request was made. That the demons were the seven demon generals who should have been sealed a long time ago. That Rei used magic to protect her classmates from the seven demon generals. And that the center of the forest, where the battle took place, had disappeared. I told him everything.

''........The Seven Demon Generals. And within the next five years, everything will happen from the seal?

　Your father said that and held his head in his hands. That's true. This is not just a problem for this country, but one that will affect the whole continent. Until now, the problem of the demon race was a distant country, but now we can't avoid thinking about it.

''Is that a true story?''

　As I was thinking about this, I suddenly heard a voice. I looked at it and saw it was there.

"...what do you mean by that, Gurtas?

　It was Uncle Glutas.

I've heard that this Ray is a disciple of the headmaster. I think that Ray is trying to hide the fact that he caused a problem in the forest and is lying about it. The seven demon generals should take another 100 years to wake up. Isn't that right?

　I didn't understand what he was saying at the end, but the Master looked surprised.

'Grutas. Where did you get that from?

Guffaw, I have a lot of stories about this. I just heard that there are rumors of such a thing.

　And Uncle Glutas with a sickening smile. I've always had a hard time with that smile. When you look at me with those sloppy, muddy eyes, I shiver. I can endure it now, but rather than looking at me like that, I'd rather have Ray.......gohonk gohonk!　I'd rather be seen.

'I didn't expect it either. I didn't expect you to wake up from the seal so soon.

'Oh, I see. So let's pretend that's the case. And what are you going to do about this Ray, Your Majesty?

What's going on here, Grutas?

''You've made the forest, an important resource near King's Landing, disappear, even if it's only in the center?　Shouldn't there be some sort of punishment?

'Hey!　Don't be silly, Uncle Grutas!　Ray fought to protect his classmates!　If Rey hadn't fought, all of those classmates would have died, and maybe even King's Landing would have been damaged, and yet you're punishing Rey for it!

　I couldn't stand what Uncle Grutas was saying anymore. What a joke. I worked so hard this time, too, to the point of collapsing due to the depletion of my magic power, and yet!

'Isn't that why His Highness Alexia is covering for this Ray because she likes him?　I don't want you to get too personal with me.

　Boom!

　I heard something snap inside me. I tried to get the twin bells out of the item box, but someone grabbed my hand. I looked at that person.

"You're a bloody idiot with too much on your mind.

　My master was holding my hand. ........I was almost about to draw my sword in the audience room. No matter how much I'm a princess, if I pull out my sword here, I can't help but be accused of treason. But I want to punch that joke in the face!

''I won't punish Ray. If Ray hadn't fought like Alexia said earlier, that classmate and maybe even the royal capital would have been harmed. He prevented that from happening. I'm grateful, but there's no punishment for that.

Well, okay.

　With that, Uncle Glutas leaves the audience room. Normally this would be a punishment, but this man is your father's brother. No one says anything.

''Headmaster. You have done well. Alexia. Tell Ray to come back to the palace. We need to talk.

Yes, Your Majesty.

　You can't call him father here, indeed. Then the audience is over and we drive the carriage to the house where Ray is. You've already slept the whole day. I can't wait to see Ray and get rid of this frustration.

　

　I didn't know there was such a thing. And now His Majesty King Glutas. I don't know if he was ever that hot a target.

"Don't think too much, Ray. Uncle Glutas is desperate to get your father off the throne. That's why things like this come up whenever he has a negative effect on you. Your father's politics are trusted by the people, though, so he can't do that.

　Alexia laughs. But no matter how many times the king steps down from the throne, isn't his son, Prince Albert, going to take over next?　What about that? I'm not sure.

　Ah!　Speaking of which, there was something I had to ask my master.

'Master, I'd like to ask you something, if you know of anything, please let me know.'
　
Hmm?　What is it?　Whoa, this is delicious, and Aeris is good at it. Alexia's is devastating~

　The master smiles at him with a kerfuffle. Alexia's face turns red and she is angry at her mentor. I don't care if you can't cook, Alexia. Instead, let's hear what I want to hear.

"Is it true you were summoned by a hero?

　The moment I said that, Master's hand stopped taking his food. Then he looked at me.

How do you know that?

　He asks. Everyone around me looks confused, as if they can't keep up with the conversation, and only Alexia has a surprised look on her face. Did Alexia know?　Was the goddess Aster right and it was true?
