A few days after our scouting mission to the Holy Empire.
The members of the club were at my house, the Carlyle house.
"Hello!"
"Oh! Eri and Sakura are here! I hope you're up!"
Two men in plain clothes come to the entrance of the house.
Me, my brother and my brother-in-law greet them.
Elise and her friends are carrying a trunk.
"Let's play cards, Eri-chan!
Giggling, Michael pulls Elise's trunk.
It's Mica. We're not here to play.
"Huh? Is that so? Then what are you doing here?"
We're here for an overnight camp.
"Oh! Training camp! I'm in the second floor of the apartment!
A flurry of activity, and Mikhail spreads his wings in excitement.
"I'll carry your luggage."
"No problem. Julius made me this bag, it holds a lot of stuff, but it's so light.
It is a kind of magic item.
Inside it is an "infinite storage (item box)" and "weight-neutral" magic.
"Are you sure you're happy with this amazing bag ......, Julius?"
"Of course. Girls have a lot of baggage. Use it.
"This is a magic item, a national treasure. You really are a handsome man, Julius-san, to make it with such a snap!"
We're going upstairs.
The house is huge, so we decide to use the empty rooms as we see fit.
We go to the room Elise and the others are using and clean the room together.
"Training camp with everyone! Yay fun!"
Boom-boom-boom," says Mikhail, bouncing on the bed.
"Hey, Mica! You're making dust!"
"Gaiusu is a nag. Is it a little bit of a problem?
"Micah, that's your wife. Julius' wife.
""""ah ......"""
"What are you trying to convince me of, idiot!"
After a short cleaning, we decided to take a break.
"What's this delicious, cold drink ......?"
"It's so squishy and delicious!"
Elise and the others were drinking the drinks I had served them.
"What? It's just a Coke.
"Coke! It's soooo good! I could drink as many as I want!"
Elise drinks a Coke with a delicious taste.
"Sometimes I wonder, Julius-san, where do you get your knowledge of things that don't exist in this world?"
"That's 2,000. ......" "Brother."
Gaius looked at me with a serious expression.
>
My brother sends me a telepathic message.
What my brother is saying is that bad guys will attack Elise and her friends for the sake of the god of valor.
He seems to be worried about such a situation.
>
<
Then, with a gulp, Mikhail pulled my cheek.
"What's wrong?"
"Mooo! That's not fair! They're staring at each other! That's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
The telepathy is not heard by Michael and the others.
But from the outside, it must have looked like we were silently staring at each other.
"We're totally in love with each other. We're totally in love with each other.
"Wow, I support ......! I don't care about homos*xuality or incest, yes! It's acceptable!"
"What? Don't be stupid! Mooooo! Mooo!"
It was decided to hold off on whether or not I would reveal my Eugene identity.
Afterwards, we had dinner.
I didn't want to put my friends in a situation where they would have to face their lousy fathers.
So I cooked the food in the cafeteria and brought it to Elise and her friends' room, where we all ate together.
"Really, Julius, your cooking is the best!
"Yeah! That's really great, Julius! Even your cooking is professional!"
Mikael looks at ...... and Gaius.
"What is it, Mika?"
"It's all right, Gaius. It's a ...... pain in the ass these days when your wife can't cook."
With a squeal, the younger brother pulled Mikhail's cheek.
After a while.
In Elise's room.
"Well, let's start the meeting.
I create a whiteboard and say.
"Yes, yes! Why do you want to have a training camp in the first place?
"It's to improve everyone's level."
"Level up? Why?"
"To win the school battle. As it is, we at the Royal Academy will lose.
I draw a simple diagram on the whiteboard.
"First of all, let me explain what the current strength level is.
========
(1) me
(2) Gods and Demon Kings
(iii) Archangels, Great Spirits, and Demons
(4) Angels and spirits
(5) Demon tribe
6) Class S monsters
========
"The following is a rough order of strength by type. The higher you go, the stronger you are."
"No, ......, I thought the category was supposed to be by species, but why is there a category for my brother ......?"
"I can't help it. It's just not the same."
New information is added to the previous order.
"Next, I'll add our strength levels, like this."
========
(1) I [Julius].
(2) Gods and Demon Kings [Gaius (in spiritual state)
3) Archangels, Great Spirits and Demons [Gaius (normal)] [Michael
(4) Angels and spirits
(5) Demon tribe [Elise] [Sakura
6) Class S Monster
========
"Finally, if we write the strength of the school, ...... the final power relationship will look like this."
========
(1) Me [Julius].
(2) Gods and Demon Kings [Gaius (in spiritual state)] 《Holy Empire
3) Archangels, Great Spirits and Demons [Gaius (normal)] [Michael] [Eastern Federation
(4) Angels and spirits
5) Demon Tribe [Elise] [Sakura
6) S Monster
〜Omitted
Imperial Academy
========
"Oh no ...... I can't believe how ...... high ...... level this is."
Elise murmurs in astonishment.
"Kazuma's in category (2) too?"
"Currently. I'm only talking about what I saw during my last reconnaissance. From my point of view, I don't think he's that strong."
The cherry blossom trees look at their position and just ...... grit their teeth.
"We ...... are a complete liability."
"That's not true!"
Gaius stands up and says emphatically.
"It is true that Sakura and the others may be inferior in terms of individual strength. It is true that Sakura and the others may be inferior individually, but this is a team competition. There's no ranking of individuals in a competition where everyone has to work together! Don't talk about baggage when you haven't even tried it yet, idiot."
Sakura rolls her eyes.
But ...... he smiled faintly.
"I guess so. You're right. Thank you.
"No, I'm not ...... doing it for you. It's for the team. If you leave, we'll all be in trouble."
Gaius turns away.
"Is the tsundere back?"
"Shut up, Mica!"
After a pause.
"There are two things we need to do to win in the competition: first, practice as a team, and second, improve our individual abilities.
"It's true that even in ...... team competition, there will be one-on-one situations. But brother, how do you raise the bar?"
"Yes, you're right. The school matches start in October. There's only a month left, right? I don't think we can compete with demons and gods in a month."
I look over at everyone's anxious faces and say.
"That's why we're going to Seireikyo."
"Se-ree-kyo?"
He tilts his head.
Where is Sereikyo, Anue?
It is a place on earth where spirits live. It is a place where the outer world and space-time are completely separated.
"Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. ...... common language?
Gaius nods with a mysterious look on his face.
"You mean a place where time is cut off from the world we live in?"
"That's what I mean. Even if you spend a lot of time in the spirit world, not much time has passed over here.
"I can't believe you know such an amazing place! That's Julius-san!"
I'm impressed.
"The training camp consists of individual practice in the Spirit Township first. After that, we will come back to this house for team practice.
"How is it that you haven't been in Spirit Township all this time?"
"It's a place where ...... you can't stay too long. You won't be able to come back."
Everyone gulped.
"It's a pretty bad place, huh?"
"Yeah. You're not going to die. Not dead.
The women's team is depressed.
"Of course we won't force you. You can decide if you want to go or not."
Sakura looks at us and nods.
We're going. I don't want to drag the team down."
"I want to be strong, too. For everyone's sake ......!"
The women's team stands up and looks determined.
"I'm in! I will get stronger and protect everyone on my team! Oh, and by the way, I'll be there too."
"What do you mean by 'just in case', already ......?"
The brothers stand up and nod.
"You coming too, Gaius?"
"Of course. We're a team. It's not right that you're the only one who can protect us.
Gaius looks around at everyone.
"The cup is in everyone's hands!"
""""Oh! """"
And so, we set off to [Spirit Township] for a training camp to further strengthen our skills.
