When we returned to where Blanc and the others were, Zehsion was the first to notice our arrival.

"Oh? That was fast. Was the army so fearsome you needed to retreat?"

Zeshion asked with a hint of teasing, but I quickly shook my head, smiling back at him, and responded.

"Nah, it's just that there were too few of them. Fang, Minerva, and Hekate wiped them out in minutes."

"Hahaha! Good one!"

Zeshion laughed, but seeing that I was still just smiling at him, his face slowly turned to confusion.

"That was a joke, right?"

"Nope. It's real. Alpha should be able to tell."

"..."

His face went through several transitions, from shock to doubt, then surprise, before finally smiling wryly.

"To think the little guy that could only run around from before could now wipe armies of god-level demons... I myself can't do that, even if I bring everyone with me."

"You must be exaggerating."

I sat back down before looking at Ember's setup. She was creating a live screen showing the eastern front, where Igni was fighting.

"You could've done the same with the number of god-level monsters you tamed."

After that, although he seemed like he wanted to say something else, he decided to just keep his mouth shut. He moved closer to where I was and stared at the screen, watching the live stream of the battle at the southeastern end.

Igni was leading the charge, with her body covered in wild flames. Each wave of her flaming sword was taking a god-level demon's life!

"Igni's power is rising..."

I muttered, noticing that her damage output was already more than double what she had before. It wasn't that obvious, however, since she could already one-shot demons even before.

"Is that so?!"

Princess Hazel, however, didn't bother with Ember's antics and simply sighed in relief.

"It's good that you are safe, Will."

Well, there were moments when I almost died, though. Not that I need to tell her that anyway.

"But why did you come here, Princess Hazel?"

As someone who has yet to gain her system, she's basically useless in this place right now. It's not that I'm looking down on her for being young, alright?

"That would be due to me, President... No, is it Emperor now?"

As if to respond instead of Princess Hazel, Queen Thalia appeared. She was walking forward with graceful steps, although her feet were hidden under her bell-like, long skirt.

"Queen Thalia, to think you'd come here despite your supposedly busy schedule... Don't tell me, did something bad happen to the Cleaver Kingdom?"

If that is true, then we should address it immediately. Wasting time here could worsen the situation, after all. However, before I could even stand up, Queen Thalia laughed gently, as if genuinely amused.

"Fufu, no, I'm just here as my daughter's guardian. After all, she's the one who was begging me to come here out of worry."

"..."

I turned to Princess Hazel right after hearing what Queen Thalia said and saw her face turn beet red from embarrassment. That part was probably something she was supposed to stay quiet about, judging from the playful glare she turned to her mother.

"Hmmm? And that is? What weird Broadcast Crystal you have..."

As if trying to change the topic, Queen Thalia turned to the monitor with eyes sparkling with curiosity. Of course, I acted proud, with my chest puffed out, and started boasting about this electronic device.

"This is called a monitor, and its working principle is way different than a Broadcast Crystal. It's something that Ember here made herself! Amazing, right?"
