16 15. Situation (1)

Me and my teacher got to Siege's study. When the teacher knocks, it's from inside.

"Get in."

And I heard Sieg.

The teacher keeps coming in and I go in. When I went inside, Ellis, Aeris, Mr. Gilbert, the military chief, and about three of his seemingly subordinates were already waiting.

"Is it late?

"No, it's okay, Eileen. Have a seat, too, Ray."

"Okay."

When me and my teacher sit down, Mr. Gilbert spreads the map over my desk.

"First of all, thank you for this big march. The military had Gill, the army leader, and Eileen, Mars, and Mel, Kay, and Mage units of the ranged units in the close-range units. Thanks to Ellis and Mayjane putting it together, the damage could be minimized. He said it was the smallest number ever, and there were still nearly 10,000 of them."

Sieg saw me and Aeris after he said that.

"Then Aeris and Ray. Thanks to your destruction of the orcs that broke into the city, there's no harm left. Without you, there would have been no more damage than it would have done now. Well, I guess I don't want you kids to be too impotent yet."

I laugh bitterly when I say that. I saw that. Ellis...

"I've told you before, don't be really impotent! Aeris couldn't heal with healing magic if the wound was deep, and he couldn't wave his sword again in a few moments. If the depletion of magic was terrible even for Ray, it would have involved life and death!

I heard about me, but I didn't know Aeris' wounds were that deep...

"But"

With that said, Ellis suddenly sets out and comes towards me and Aerys. They both hugged me as much as they wanted when they came to me and Aeris.

"I've been paying attention for a long time, but you guys did a great job! Aeris, Ray. I'm proud to be your mother!

Ellis smiled at me with a calm face when she said so. When I saw that face, Aerys and I both got some tears. After all, I guess in my mind, trying to convince me how much I cared about killing creatures, letting people die, hurting myself, dying, etc.

I could feel it by being hugged by Ellis.

So we both hugged Ellis back with nature. Stick to realizing that you're still alive...

Sieg spoke out when he finally calmed down after crying for a few minutes or so. With a nibbly face.

"When I see Aerys and Ray like this, I realize they're kids after all."

"Naturally. No matter how much Sieg, me, Ellis' blood you draw, the child is a child. Unless our parents continue to teach us."

That's what I say, Eileen. Of course my face is nibbling...... I stare at it with my jit eyes but it doesn't look like I cared at all. Mr. Gilbert, who didn't see it coming, spoke up.

"I'd love to talk to you as a family, but let's get down to business."

"Oh, right. Gil wants to see his wife and kids soon, too. You finally got home because of the end of the march. You want to love the two cats soon ~?

"Of course! I want to go home and love Chloe and Krona!

That's what makes me look bad, Sieg. But I'll give it back to you normally, Mr. Gilbert. Yes, it is! This is Chloe's husband, who has been my maid of honor and is now the head of the maid of honor, who will be Krona's father.

Talking about it would be a long time, but Mr. Gilbert said he was a direct report to Sieg during the previous march and had a meeting with Chloe, who was escorting Ellis. Since that time, Mr. Gilbert said he had fallen in love, but was unable to see him at all at the end of the march, and he was reunited and started dating when Chloe came as a runwalker's maid.

After that, the conversation progressed to the point of getting married.

Sieg laughs bitterly in return. Mr. Gilbert is a doorman for some reason. Ellis and his men sighed, and Eileen burst into laughter. What, this chaotic space?

Sieg started talking to change the story.

"Well, let's talk about this big march."

"Yes, this grand march is supposedly the smallest ever. Approximately, but the number doesn't reach 10,000. It was a huge crowd with orcs at its heart."

It seems that the demons that come out often change for what reason the Great March is. During the last march, three dragons came out to demons like this one. It took quite a while to get chased by that measure and the damage was huge, apparently. Before that, you said you had to take action each time that it was a large group of undead centers?

"This time, I guess Oak King led a large group of people into a large group of oak centers. The last time I saw him, Rich was leading a big group of undead centers."

So far the anticipation is that the demons will be changed by a leader who will lead a large group.

"Probably not. But as I'm sure you've all noticed, this march is not the same as before."

"Oh, I've been using an ambush that hasn't been a march before."

Sieg said, the room gave me a tingling vibe.

"When I heard about Aeris, they said a massive magic formation appeared over the sky before the orcs showed up inside the city. Well, the fact that the orcs showed up must have activated the transfer of space magic as a magic formation."

"I think so. I've never heard of a demon that can use space magic. That means"

"Oh, there are eighty-nine people involved. And a high level magician."

"Dear Ellis. How much magic would you need to create such a massive magic formation?

"I can't say for sure because I didn't see the magic formation directly, but I think that sending nearly 100 orcs to such a massive magic formation would require nearly 10,000 magic powers. It's just that we use magic formations, so maybe we can save magic for as many people as we can."

"I see. It's going to take some time because we have to be precise to build a magic formation, and I guess we were careful to make it so that we wouldn't notice. That's the only country I can think of."

Everyone looks bitter.

"I knew it was that country"

That's what the teacher says and exhales.

"Oh, there's almost no doubt that you're going to do this, even this continent on the other side across the Devil's Land is a huge country. It would be the Regalia Empire."

Sieg said that in a sigh, too.
