"So the wireless communication device is kept as a secret among you?" (Melinda)
Grandmother sighed….
"Oh you fool! Do you know how serious chaos your choice has caused?" (Melinda)
Grandmother scolded me without mercy.
"Let that be a lesson to you. Remember the consequences of lacking contact and losing calmness!" (Melinda)
"OK! OK!" (s.h.i.+n)
Although we managed to subjugate the devils, we were not praised due to our mistakes.
However, grandma was right.
Faced the emergency, we panicked immediately, so we made a false judgement and took the wrong action. That was why we failed. In addition, it could be said that the situation had become strange since the devils' sudden appearance.
At that time, maybe encircling the street was wiser.
If I met Alice and others and came back through the 'Gate', which could shorten the time, maybe the devils couldn't have escaped.
We had a lot to reflect on.
"Melinda, enough already. These kids are only fifteen or sixteen years old, so failure is unavoidable." (Merlin)
With grandfather's help, grandmother stopping talking.
"However, what Melinda has said is right. Be sure not to neglect contact and reports in the future." (Merlin)
"Yes…" (s.h.i.+n)
"Failure is the mother of success. As of now, you've been developing too smoothly. Luckily, your release of devils caused no casualties. Let it be your lesson and learn from it." (Merlin)
"Yes!" (s.h.i.+n)
I had been reminded of 'report, contact and communication' many times in a previous incarnation…
However, after transmigrating to this world, people around me had helped me make reports and contact, so I neglected them completely.
No matter how powerful the magic would be, it would make no sense if we failed to use 'report, contact and communication' flexibly.
The incident taught me an important lesson.
"All clear? Is that the end?" (Melinda)
"It's not over, right? What's going on, Brother August?" (s.h.i.+n)
Faced grandma's question, I couldn't help but looked at August.
"In this way, we've killed the devils trying to attack us, though we can't eliminate all the devils." (August)
"That is to say, there are remaining devils elsewhere?" (Melinda)
"Yes. Schtrom, the culprit of turning those men into devils, is alive." (August)
"So this is not the end?" (Melinda)
"How to say…" (August)
"Is there any inside information?" (Melinda)
August told grandpa and grandma what we had heard from devils on the street.
"Schtrom only wants to destroy the Kingdom? Will he stop after this?" (Melinda)
"Devils really said so." (August)
"I see." (Melinda)
Grandfather and grandmother seemed to be thinking about something.
What the h.e.l.l was going on? Had they gather up the threads?
"Does Schtrom hate the empire?" (Merlin)
"I don't know. But now that he wants to destroy the empire, he must hate it." (Melinda)
"Um…" (Merlin)
Grandmother pondered with her arms crossed and eyebrows frowned.
Then she started to explain her answer.
"Maybe the reason why he hates the empire so much has something to do with his devilization." (Melinda)
"Devilization?" (s.h.i.+n)
"Yes. Although I'm not sure till now, if the cause for Schtrom's devilization is the same as what I think, the presumption will be true." (Melinda)
Grandmother looked at us while speaking.
"The requirement for devilization is not only let the normal magic rampage, but also the magic being infused with strong hatred." (Melinda)
Grandmother made a presumption about the devilization.
"I see. Schtrom only turned the ordinary people in the empire into devils because the so-called ordinary people were the ones being abused the hardest and having strong resentment against the empire." (s.h.i.+n)
It was the reason why the number of devils increased every time they attacked the city streets.
The ordinary people were squeezed, so they hate n.o.bles and the empire.
Schtrom took advantage of this to increase his partners.
"However, if it was the strong hatred that turned Schtrom into a devil at first, now that he has reached his goal, what else does he want to do?" (August)
"Nothing else?" (s.h.i.+n)
"Maybe you are right." (August)
