Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

“Schneider! Why? Why did we lose? After all, we are from the Magic Academy, you know? We are the best in this country, right?”

Amazing, Maribelle, you used such a loud voice to call Schneider without even using any honorifics. The gallery, who first learned about Maribelle today, would probably be wondering how a little girl can casually call the prince, even though that prince is a traitor.

“Hmm. Isn’t it because of the difference in actual battles? Since Trundle has a dangerous forest.”

Schneider slowly talked as if he was teaching a child.

“I see……it was that dense and unpleasant forest. The forest where the big snake that I had weakened was snatched away from me……Well then, the battle of magicians will be stopped here! The third battle will be a showdown between elderly seniors! General! You’re here, right? Please!”

“『Eh?』”

From the west gate, a person I thought I would never see again slowly appeared.

“……General, he was alive?”

Kodak-sensei muttered.

His Excellency General Avenger…….

Whether it was due to Schneider or Maribelle, he was completely healed and I can’t imagine that he was half-killed before. It’s exactly the same as when he smilingly talked to me at the Knights School. There are no wounds on him.

Kodak-sensei appeared in front of me. His fighting spirit rising.

“Sensei?”

“Young lady, this time I will protect you even if I die.”

Maribelle’s face sparkled!

“Ah, as expected, you’re not good at this! That’s right! Avenger-san is the top of the army! He should be the strongest even among knights! However, since there is no other chance for us, we will fight seriously. Now, you should also send out an elderly senior?”

His Excellency was staring at me. I also stared back at His Excellency that was wearing a military uniform. That military uniform, is it an appeal that he is not just an individual person?

……Did His Excellency properly understand the situation at that time? Does he still think of me as a rebel that turned my blade towards the royal family?

I don’t think that he’s inflicted by Maribelle’s <Mesmerize> since he didn’t appear in the novel, but……in that case, why would His Excellency, the only general in the Kingdom of Judor, listen to the words of a mere female student?

As they stared at each other silently, ignoring Maribelle’s chattering, a small figure jumped down from the audience seats with a light body.

“Sieg Guild Master……will you personally come out?”

“I won in rock-paper-scissors against all of them by using paper! Hahahaha!”

When I looked up at the audience seats, many of the grandfathers and grandmothers are biting their handkerchiefs with one hand still in a rock shape……

Grandpa Sieg glared at His Excellency from bottom to top.

“In the end, Elsa just made you faint, she probably felt pity for you.”

“… How is Colonel Elsa doing?”

“Elsa was cursed, by the little bastard over there. Hey, General, what did she do to get cursed? All I see is a straightforward woman who always lives her life based on her beliefs to the point of being too strict.”

“…………”

“You’ll continue to incorrigibly point your blade toward us, huh?”

His Excellency removed his gaze from Grandpa Sieg and looked at me.

“I……His Royal Highness Schneider and also……His Royal Highness Gardner, I have come here as their swordsmanship instructor……”

“……”

“I am a fool who, in spite of my heavy responsibilities as a general, failed to notice His Royal Highness Schneider’s isolation from the rest of the royal family and failed to do anything about it until it escalated into a conflict.”

His Excellency smiled when he saw the star on the epaulette, which indicated that he was a general.

“However, I have pledged allegiance to the Judor royal family, and I have no regrets about turning my blade at Serafiona at that time. No matter how……special Serafiona is.”

……Which meant that he knew that I’m a Contractor. But,

“…..Isn’t this current situation where the king is taken hostage a treason against the royal family?”

“I have decided to serve Prince Schneider. I believe in His Highness.”

His Excellency glanced at Schneider behind him. Schneider wrinkled his eyebrows.

『A versatile man.』

Lu sighed. His Excellency is……really earnest about this……he probably couldn’t leave Schneider alone.

Finally, a proper adult arrived at Schneider’s side. Schneider, you’re no longer alone. But he won’t end his revenge. Was it one step too late?

“Very well. The idiot that had aimed for our princess twice! This time I’m going to choke the life out of you, as you wish.”

Something sounded from under Sieg’s cloak.

“Ki, killing is forbidden–!”

The timid referee cried out with a small voice that sounded as if he was about to cry.
