August 13, 3 p.m

"As mentioned above, although the Guards suffered greatly, the general public did not suffer many casualties with the assistance of the gendarmerie and Tolz Military Academy Student President Tova Herschel and others, and the damage to places such as Notre-Dame Park and the Imperial Opera House was not too severe, and it could be repaired within a month," Cleya, who was still a little pale, explained to the people sitting in the audience, "There is no problem with the bonfire that will be held at the Tolz Military Academy tonight, After all, the academy has not suffered any losses."

"Humph!" The Marquis of Haines, who was sitting in the audience, snorted coldly: "Want to get rid of the responsibility? What does it mean to have no casualties? Ordinary people don't talk about it first, aren't you going to make it clear about the affairs of our nobles! ”

"We need an explanation," Duke El Bare also gave a cold look, "Captain Claire, this attack is obviously caused by the negligence of your imperial capital, and the territory army we sent to assist this time has also suffered more than half of the casualties, how can you explain it to the people in the territory after you ask us to go back?" ”

"And I've heard that Angelica of our family was also in distress at Tolista, where your railway gendarmerie is in charge," the Marquis of Rogner sneered, "and now that even I am almost killed, what are your intentions?"

"Everyone, be quiet," Duke Kane clapped his hands and motioned to the other family leaders who were also members of the four famous families to be quiet, "Don't be impatient, we should all know very well that thanks to the gendarmerie this time, we have not encountered mortal danger, and we cannot ignore their merits, but-"

"There are two things I am very puzzled about," Duke Kane's words turned and he pointed a sword of tongue straight at the point, "I heard that the Prime Minister was also in danger in the opera house, and I was worried about his body, but then I learned from my subordinates that your gendarmerie seems to have been on guard from the beginning, and the reaction speed of the monster when it appeared was far faster than that of the Guards, why?" ”

"And why is there no one around His Royal Highness the Emperor to attack at all" Duke Kane half-narrowed his eyes, "His Royal Highness the Emperor is traveling with us, and he is already old this year, so it makes sense that he did not go to the cathedral to worship together, but since the target of the terrorists is high-ranking officials and dignitaries, why was the Emperor who exposed his whereabouts not found by them?!" ”

"Honestly, this attack was not directed and acted by you!" Duke Kane shouted angrily: "Is the mastermind behind the iron-blooded prime minister!" Say! ”

"This is a crime of arbitration, there is no evidence at all" Claire's already pale face was even more cold as ice at this time, "Our reaction is faster than that of the Guards, because the railway gendarmerie is already elite and has such anti-terrorism experience, and why is the Prime Minister not in danger?" If it weren't for the help of the instructors of the Tolz Military Academy, I am afraid that we would have been wiped out long ago, as for why His Royal Highness the Emperor was not found? It's very simple, because His Royal Highness the Emperor did not travel at all this time, and the traveler was His Excellency the Swordsman disguised as His Royal Highness the Emperor, and His Royal Highness himself stayed in the palace due to physical reasons, and the attackers probably learned about this and did not divide their troops."

"Oh, what a rhetoric," Duke Kane sneered, "Then I'll ask you the next thing, I heard that before the Midsummer Festival began, you summoned President Irina and the Imperial Capital Mayor Carl. Regreliz and they entered the palace, and I wasn't interested in what they were talking about, but this time the two of them were not attacked, why?"

"Duke Kane, please investigate before speaking next time, Lady Irina retreated with the audience at the Imperial Capital Opera, and Mayor Karl was shot and fell to the ground in order to protect Princess Elphine, and was only discharged from the hospital this morning, these are all witnesses to prove it" Claire calmly shot back, "Besides, it was a secret conversation, and your people dared to listen to secrets, with bad intentions"

"Don't worry, he's dead, I'll kill him after listening to it" Duke Kane's decisiveness can be seen "It has nothing to do with me, it's his own opinion"

"So is there still a problem?"

"The security of the imperial capital is too problematic, we have already discussed it with other nobles, we will leave in the afternoon, and you can hold the bonfire party in the evening" Duke Kane sat down slowly, "This matter will be reported to His Royal Highness the Emperor in person by the four famous families after a while, this explanation is unacceptable to us"

"I see, the Prime Minister will explain to you in person when the time comes" Claire nodded, "Then I'll retire first, please leave on your own later."

"Look! It's just a captain who dares to breathe such a big breath! When the Marquis of Haines saw that the door was closed, he slapped the table: "What are you waiting for!" Iron-blooded Prime Ministers, they clearly don't treat us as human beings! ”

"Shut up, do you want to die so loudly" Duke Kane glanced at him, "The opportunity has not yet come, our mechs have not yet been equipped, and the "rabbit" also said that they are ready in the imperial capital"

"Both sides know that we both want to go to war" Marquis Rogner couldn't help but wonder what to do next, "Kane, what do you say we should do"

"It's very simple, go back to the territory and write about it" Duke Kane stroked his shorter beard "to make the people in the territory panic and distrust the rule of the imperial capital, after all, we are the victims this time"

"Well, I agree too" Duke Elbare nodded "The food and armament are also ready, now it's just a lack of righteousness"

"Since the Emperor wants to fight this battle, then we will do what he wants" Duke Kane sneered, "After going back, we will start to prepare, the war will almost start at any time, and it is time for the empire to be in the hands of truly talented people"

"Good!"

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― the dividing line of the night

"Yes, I know" Chong was silent after listening to the people around him, "I have nothing to do, I will return to China after tonight"

"Well, have a nice trip," Ellie said, "Grandfather and I will go back to Crossbell tonight, after all, we have to talk to the other councillors about the Empire's movements"

"After the Fall of the Imperial Harrotman"

"The Republican legislators didn't get any benefit either, and there were a lot of capable people under Speaker Harrotman, and my grandfather took the opportunity to promote them," Ellie explained with a smile, "Don't worry, we're doing well."

"And that's right," Chong propped himself up from the bed, "after all, this is your own right"

"Lloyd, they said before they left that I wanted me to give this to you," Ellie pulled something out of her pocket

"What is this?" Chong took it and looked at it, and found that it was a badge, and the symbol of Crossbell was also printed on it

"It's a medal from our grandfather, it's yours, it means you're a glorious citizen of Crossbell" Ellie also stood up from the low chair next to the bed, "We will always be good comrades-in-arms, please don't forget this, then I'll go first"

"Don't you plan to participate in the bonfire party at night?"

"Well, no, I'm going to visit a lot of places" Ellie finally chuckled and waved her hand, "then I'll see you first, I'm always welcome if I come to Crossbell in the future"

"Goodbye"

"Well, goodbye" The door to the dormitory was closed, and Chong moved his wrist and took the suit hanging by the bed and put it on, and there was a banquet later

"Are the others gone?" he asked before opening the door

"Ling and Estelle have already gone back to Liber, I wanted to see you but I refused for you, and the demon left without leaving a message, probably back to Crossbell" Lévi leaned against the door and chuckled

"Why don't you go" Chongsao didn't open the door

"I plan to stay in the imperial capital, I finally got a job, there is no need to take the initiative to push it off"

"They already know your identity as the Sword Emperor."

"That's what keeps me going, isn't it?"

"yes, get out of the way, I'm going to open the door" Chong unscrewed the doorknob, and Levi had disappeared into the hallway

"It's just right, you don't have to send the gift so far in the future" I don't know if I am relieved or emotional, Chong closed the door and walked downstairs quickly, the last day, then live well

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― the dividing line of the campfire

"Chong, I've been waiting for you for a long time" Li En waved his hand when he saw Chong coming down, and the others also greeted each other

"I'm surprised, there are also bonfires on the continent of Semuria," Alyssa smiled, "Do you miss it?" ”

"No, not at all" is an activity that is done every day in the school, but sometimes it is a prayer and sometimes a execution

"Maybe it's still a little bit different from Japan," Laura said, looking at the flames burning in the night on the playground, "but the atmosphere should have come out."

"So, guys, aren't you dancing?" said Emma laughing and pushing the frame of her glasses

"I'm going to visit my father, so forget it," Macchias shook his head

"Is that your father over there?" Chong glanced around the venue, and then saw a middle-aged man who looked like Marchias

"Father'?!!" Macchias followed Chong's gaze and was startled

"Oops?! Isn't that my mother the one next to me! Alyssa was also taken aback

"Congratulations," Gaius teased

"Not at all! Stop it! Alyssa and Macchias immediately rushed over to stop an awkward romance

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with this kind of thing, isn't that my father over there?" Laura suddenly stared at the corner closely, "And next to it is Instructor Sarah, sorry, take a step back"

"I'll go first," Jusis hurried away, apparently seeing his family messing around

"Li Enjun, do you appreciate your face?" Emma lifted the back of her hand slightly

"Honored," and Lane responded with a noble salute immediately after a brief moment of panic

"I'll look for anybody willing to dance with me," said Gaius, smiling, as he walked through the crowd, and was immediately invited by the lady

"This is not a bonfire party at all", this is clearly a blind date scene

"Faye is not interested"

"I'm going to my father's too," Faye and Elliot said hello and hurried away

"I'll leave first," Chong plans to hide in a corner after confirming that Tova is not nearby

"Mr. Chong" had barely walked a few steps when he saw Elysée standing in front and waving

(No danger) Well, this is a brother control, let's go to the east immediately

"Lane over there"

"Can you appreciate your face," Elyse raised her hand

(Expensive!) This is Kong Ming's trap! You undedicated brother!

"It's an honor" However, others have already taken the initiative to invite, and it would be too shameful to refuse directly

"Thank you," Elyse smiled like a flower, and then placed her hand on Chong's palm

(It's weird) this feels like it's no different from torture in a sense.,Chong can't take any benefits.,Girly incense? Please, I don't have a sense of smell, a girl's body sense? I'm sorry, I don't have a sense of touch, the sense of accomplishment that the girl attaches to her body? Don't tease, I don't even feel safe

"Is Mr. Chong leaving tonight?"

"It's Tomorrow Morning" struggled to support Elyse's balance, and dancing was hard work

"Isn't it okay to leave later, in a few days everyone will have to travel to my brother and me's hometown, which is the land of hot springs?"

"Hot springs Japan has a bunch" Chong shook his head and said no, "It's been long enough"

"It's always a little lonely in a foreign land," Elysée suddenly turned around, her hands on Chong's chest, and her head raised slightly, her watery eyes and moist lips were seductive. confuse

"Then if you have the opportunity in the future, please be sure to appreciate your face," Elyse smiled playfully and let go of her hand and jumped to the side, "Thank you, sir, for your willingness to appreciate your face."

(Is this some kind of revenge?) Think about what it's like for your female partner to suddenly shake you off in the crowd at a prom**, what? You don't have a female companion at all? Oh, then you guys won

"Pull~" However, the next moment Chong understood, this was indeed revenge

"Please appreciate your face~" Elphin waved her little hand and smiled brightly, while Elyse turned and stepped aside like a knight after declining Olivet's invitation

"It's an honor, Your Highness the Princess" Chongya could only bend down to hold Elfin's hand, and by the way, he also shrank his height a little

"Thank you very much~" Elfin chuckled and danced along with the dance music, which was actually a solo dance, and Chong was the pillar that supported her

"You don't need me at all," Chong said suddenly

"No, you're very useful," Elfin winked playfully

"Why?" Chong was puzzled, he really didn't use anything

"Please treat this as a girl's secret~" The implication is not to ask, okay, I see

"Okay, then it's over," Elfin let go of her hand after the dance stopped, "It's shabby, but please take it as a reward."

I always thought it was just a simple cheat

"You are always welcome in the Empire," Elfin stomped to his tiptoes as he was about to leave

"Turn", so Chong lightly grabbed Elfin's shoulder and turned back

"Whew" Elfin who failed to kiss is obviously in a bad temper, well, hurry up and run, before being sentenced

"Chong, Chongjun!" However, Tova hurriedly ran over from a distance at this time, not wearing a formal gown, and the green student costume, which symbolized civilians, naturally caused the others to laugh

"Honorable lady, would you like to dance with me?" Chong was silent for a moment, then stepped forward and bent down to plead

The laughter around him turned into a discussion in an instant, and that was because Chong had danced with Princess Elfin just now, and the princess had taken the initiative to invite him, which had actually indirectly answered Chong's own question just now

Was it because I was used to appease other tourists?

"Huh? Uh-huh! Tova blushed and stretched out her hand, as smart as she was, she naturally understood that this was Chong's exculpation

"I'm not too good at dancing"

"It's okay, I won't" seemed to step on the princess a few times just now

"Thank you," Tova blushed and danced to the dance music carefully

"You don't have a dress?" Chongshun asked

"Yes, I specially prepared it for today, and it cost a lot of money" Tova shook her head, "but I went to see off Xiao An just now, she was ordered to drop out of school by the family because of what happened to Tolista, and I heard that she was going to study at their own private college"

"I see" Chong nodded in understanding, after all, these aristocratic families are hypocritical, just like sluts

"And when I went back, the door was closed, and the head of the dormitory had come to the ball, so I had to come in this dress, and if it weren't for you, I might have to stand by and watch," Tova whispered, blushing, "It's the first time I've been treated so gently."

(No, absolutely not) the back of the eyes staring at Chong has become more and more, and the lolicones are warning me in their own way

Neither Tova nor Chong spoke for the next few minutes, and by the time the dance was over, the others had almost all returned, Laura was carrying her father with a stern face, Jusis was unwilling to quarrel with Macchias, and Alyssa was looking to the side of the playground from time to time, Lane and Emma were dragged by Sarah to continue dancing as soon as the song was over, Gaius returned to the campfire in place of Lane and the still happy Emma, and Faye and Elliot began to distribute a bunch of food and drink

"A little reluctant," Tova heard Chong's whisper, and she looked up

"It's okay, everyone has always been here" The girl smiled softly, "I won't be separated, you can come back to see us at any time"

(That's not what it means) forget it, why explain it, after all, they are also one of the ones they are "reluctant to".

We can't see each other again
