[563] Scramble Royale (4)
* * *
Hersie, who embraced Cayden, left the dormitory without returning to her room.
This is because at some point, he caught the heartbeat of someone paying attention to him from a certain distance.
Hersi stopped walking only after entering a secluded park.
Listening to the heartbeat, it was more likely to be a woman than a man.
"Now come out. who is this?"
A girl appeared from behind the pillars of the avenue.
"Hoo?"
He was an unexpected person.
"Eden… … ."
A devout follower of the York religion and a specialist in defensive magic.
As far as Hercy knew, she was not a member of the Research Society, so she was an unsuitable person for Scramble Royale's outpost.
"Why did you follow me at night… … No, did you call me?"
Even Eden knew that Hercy could not be followed.
"Let me participate in Scramble Royale."
"The bigger the alliance, the better. But aren't you a member of the Shadow Research Society?"
"I will make it. If I take Eastas."
'Is it the upper class after all?'
Hercy's guess was half correct.
The reason Eden, a believer of the Jordan religion, came to the magic school was only because of Mikea Gaold.
At one time, he was the president of the Tormia Magic Association, and even today, he is a person who is always included in the list of the most powerful wizards in the kingdom.
However, he was a heretic who betrayed Yogurism and forsook God.
'I can't tolerate it.'
A member of the same church as Gaold, she recalled what Jorah had told her before the second half of her senior year schedule began.
"You shouldn't hate Gaold. He is a poor kid."
Hearing the protection against heresy from the respected Jorah, Eden trembled with displeasure.
"Why do you say that? He is the one who forsook Yor. Isn't he a monster who worships violence and commits countless murders?"
"Yes, a monster. But it wasn't him who turned him into a monster. He did his best."
"no. That is evidence of a lack of faith. No matter what pain may come, the god Yor is protecting us."
The reason why Eden is recognized enough to be called a priest of God even within the world-class religious cult of Yore is not just blindly following God.
Rather, she was a very rational personality, and had an open mind enough to understand the conflict between reality and doctrine and accept human desires and limitations.
The combination of faith and logic cannot be destroyed by anything, so there was no way to convince Eden.
"Yora has an illusion of Gaold's strength. If he was just a humble sabotage maniac, would he still protect him? I know what pain he went through to get there. That he is beyond human limits. But in the end, it's just heresy. It is unacceptable that in this temple ruled by the god Yor, there is a force that protects a murderer."
"I too feel sorry for Gaold's decision. But he is being punished. It will be so in the future."
"Do you earn?"
Eden looked back at Jorah with a sneer.
"Jora, do you think I'm weaker than Gaold?"
Jorah didn't answer.
"I'm not talking about the best battle mage. I'm not even interested in such a barbaric title. But I am stronger than Gaold. Heresy is heresy after all."
Eden tightened his eyes and said.
"As long as God Yor is watching, I have no enemies."
Eden's eyes, free from flashbacks, were more intense than ever.
'I will destroy your legend, which started with Istas.'
Hearing Eden's beating heart, Hersy smiled and said,
"good. I'll report it to the boss first. You can expect good news."
Hercy put Eden's shoulder and disappeared into the darkness.
* * *
The first holiday since school started.
Shirone, Eruki, and Nade held a reunion party at the Supernatural Psychic Research Society.
Snacks and drinks were all, but I didn't realize time was passing by chatting after a long time.
"The problem is always the group evaluation. Especially strategic tactics. There are 3 people absent, so the last group should be 2 people."
Since the total number of members was only 27, the last 6 groups had to annihilate the monsters in 2,000 rounds with only 2 people.
Of course, the level of difficulty is adjusted according to the number of participants, but it was true that the synergistic effect of the firepower of five people could not be expected.
In response to Nade's complaint, Eruki stabbed himself.
"That's why everyone wants to rank up. You hit it up quickly too. If you beat Binder and Fishaw, you can become a group of 5."
"ha. That's because the score discrepancy is too wide… … ."
At that time, the research society vibrated and Estas started operating.
"what? Are you a teacher? Today is a holiday."
Contrary to Shirone's looking around, Nade's expression was serious.
"The thing to come has come. Let us prepare too."
The machinery stopped working, and Shirone and the others moved to their positions to greet the guests.
A familiar voice came from outside the door.
"It's a dark research society."
"come in."
Shirone blinked as he looked at the faces of those entering through the open door.
Most of them were strong people in the first rank of graduates.
Hersy, who came in with her hands behind her back, turned her body at a right angle and spoke as if proclaiming.
"I suggest Scrumble Royale."
Nade buried himself in the sofa and looked at the people standing in a row with his chin crookedly resting.
A total of six students, including Frings (ranked 3rd), Cadden (ranked 7th), Anchal (ranked 9th), Eden (ranked 10th), Hercy (ranked 13th), and Fishaw (ranked 25th).
It was a situation where the representatives of the shadowy research society gathered in one place.
'It's a war from now on.'
* * *
Scramble Royale.
The totality of the rules in which the winner takes everything in a confrontation with conditions.
It was an absolute rule that took precedence over school rules for the study group in the shadows, which could affect the graduation exam, regardless of personal cost.
With a table between them, three members of the Supernatural Psychic Research Society and six members of the Shadow Research Association sat facing each other.
It was Shirone who was not familiar with the rules of the shadows, but I could feel a completely different atmosphere from the graduating class evaluation.
Neither the teachers nor the school authority could interfere, it was their own business.
"I don't think there is any need for an introduction. Because it is spherical."
Hercy, who attended as the representative of the golden ring, continued.
"Of course you already know why we came."
said Nade, crossing his legs arrogantly.
"Right. Then we simply need to set the schedule and rules."
'schedule? Rule?'
Everything was still unfamiliar, but Shirone was just listening.
With a thump, Hersey set down the iron box.
It's the first time I've seen it, but the reason why it looks familiar is because the pattern of the henna I saw in heaven was engraved.
"Scramble Royal boasts a 30-year tradition. shall we start?"
Thirty years was before Miro was even active.
Nade explained as Shirone noticed.
"This is a tool called 'Jersey'. Rules are set by mutual agreement and entered into the judge, and the winner is rewarded, and the loser is punished. You can also set rules for contract cancellation, so it's the best tool for betting on something."
Hersey added.
"Any rule is possible under mutual agreement. If you set the rule of 'death if you fail to fulfill the contract', you will actually die."
'Eating out.'
It was the first word that came to Shirone's mind.
I also thought it was an ancient piece of equipment from heaven.
The reason why the expression weapon or weapon does not fit is because I saw the life in heaven with my own eyes.
It's a dangerous device that could cost you your life if you mess with it, but considering the scale beyond common sense, I thought it might have been a play tool for angels or fairies.
"The game must be 'black and white', right?"
"It hasn't changed in 30 years. There is a manual, so it's easy to jump right into the confrontation."
I was curious about what kind of game it was, but asking right away could make me look weak to my enemies.
"As you can see, the number of participants on the coalition side is six. You too, match the number of people. I won't stop you if the three of you want to do it."
The number of people was also decided by mutual agreement.
"Hmm."
Nade, who had shouted that he was a minority elite, was cautious this time.
I didn't want to attract non-members of the research society as much as possible, but the members of the alliance were too powerful.
'I'm sure I'll need an assistant.'
Hercy, Anchal, and Frings, as well as the insect magic fisho and the defense magic Eden contribute to perfecting the balance.
'Besides, it's Caden… … . huh? Cayden?'
Nade's eyebrows went up.
"for a moment. How did this happen? Why did two people from the Golden Ring participate as representatives?"
It wouldn't matter if the rules were set like that, but I had no intention of agreeing to the agreement.
"Do not misunderstand. Cayden did not come as the representative of the Ring of Gold."
"What are you talking about? then… … ."
Nade realized something and stared blankly at Caden.
"I hope you… … ?"
"okay. I am the president of the Women's Human Body Research Society."
Shirone opened her mouth in a daze at the shocking declaration of Cayden, whom she considered the least honest among Fermi's group.
"The president of the Women's Human Body Research Society?"
Caden nodded as if he had nothing to hide.
"I also drew a lot of Amy's nudes."
Shirone was impressed by the immediate provocation.
'Why are you suddenly talking like that… … ?'
Suddenly, Maya's picture in the red book came to mind, and Eruki thought the same thing.
"As expected, people don't know just by looking at their appearance. Is the reason why you participated even at the risk of your identity being revealed? Is it jealousy? Or should I set a rule for Shirone to give up Maya?"
"Don't sell on such cheap sentiment."
Caden pushed his upper body in and opened his eyes.
"What drives me is anger. Shirone, I will give you the greatest pain."
The words felt like killing, but Shirone didn't back down anymore.
"Come on as much as you like. As I said before, I will not be merciless to enemies who stand in my way."
As the atmosphere matured, Anchal stepped out.
"Give me a week. Gather people in the meantime. The detailed rules will be decided at that time."
Eruki objected.
"No, there is something I want to discuss in advance. In order to save helpers, we need to hold on to the whole strand as much as they also need compensation."
From now on, since he was at the senior level, he was anticipating that there was no way he could just skip it.
"Okay, tell me."
"First of all, what the Alliance wants is to give up the Supernatural Psychic Research Society once they win, right?"
"To be precise, I am giving up on Istas. It doesn't matter what happens to the Supernatural Psychic Research Society."
"Well, okay. accept it once Instead, I have something I would like to suggest."
Eruki made eye contact with his friends and offered a reward.
"If we win, the entire combined team will be ranked lower than ours until the graduation exam."
The expression on the coalition side hardened, and Shirone's eyes shone.
'I see. This is absolutely necessary.'
In order to match the level of the enemies, the helpers must be at least senior year, but all of them have nothing to do with the Research Society of the Shadows.
No one will intervene in Scramble Royale by interfering with the senior year schedule.
However, if you can rank higher than the majority of class one, you will have a clear motivation.
"Um, ranking… … ."
Nade smiled and said as Hercy entered the Django.
"Don't pretend to be worried. I don't think you guys who haven't graduated because of Estas will be hesitant about rankings. You guys have easily won the most difficult agenda to discuss."
Hercy also thought that negotiating the price for giving up Istas would be the most difficult.
'That's true. I even have a feeling that it was given up too easily. No, it must be said that finding an assistant is difficult. I don't think I'm going to lose anyway."
It was the same on the Union side anyway.
"Okay, I agree. Other delegates, please speak up."
Anchal said right away.
"I don't care either."
Cayden had nothing to ask, and when the rest agreed, it was Nade who felt sorry for him.
'Hmm, did I give in too much? Fisho is ranked low anyway. Well, even if only Frings and Cayden can be brought down, the desired result has been achieved.'
Hersy stood up, grabbing her jersey.
"Then save three more. Let's go into detailed discussions in a week."
"okay. I can't go far."
Nade sent them off without lifting a finger.

[564] Scramble Royale (5)
It wasn't until the combined team left that Nade's face relaxed.
"Whoa, it ended up like this. Sorry. I just accepted it."
Eruki didn't care.
"It's something you have to go through at least once. There is a reason why we cannot give up on Estas. Anyway, what about the number of people? Does anyone have an idea?"
Shirone and Nade said at the same time.
"Amy."
Eruki nodded.
"that's right. In fact, I also set that condition with the same thought. But the problem is that Amy's ranking is already 5th. You will have to appeal to your emotions as well."
"Let me ask you a favor."
If it was Shirone, who was no one else, it wasn't without chance.
"Okay, Shirone will take care of Amy. What about the other two?"
Silence passed.
"Has anyone really thought about it?"
said Nade, resting his chin on it.
"Hmm, there are many candidates. There's Canis's team, Dante's team, and Boyle's okay. The summoning magic will be able to keep Fisho in check."
Eruki shook his head.
"There's no choice but to get it from outside, but it's a shadowy affair that doesn't benefit from being known. You should only contact those you think have a clear chance of winning. In that sense, Canis is dangerous. Because I'm waiting for Shirone."
Shirone said.
"I can't see Boyle as having any special merits compared to the other candidates. Dante is more likely to move as a team."
Nade cried.
"Then who are you looking for?"
"How about Dorothy in that sense?"
Shirone looked back at Eruki.
"Dorothy?"
Sensing something, Nade raised his ax eye and shouted.
"You child! i knew i would Blow honestly! How far have you gone?"
"I haven't gone anywhere. Do you know why I was friendly with Dorothy, who had no interest in me?"
Nade blinked.
"huh? Weren't you interested?"
"I told you, what cannot be analyzed is not taste."
"Then why are you friends?"
"On the first day of the senior class schedule, Dorothy got into a man-to-person battle with Shirone. Do you remember what I said back then? He said he'd do what Shirone wants if it's a draw."
"aha."
Eruki raised a finger.
"I'm the type who is obsessed with rankings and uses conditions and rewards. Besides, Joner has a lot of advantages in Scrumble Royale."
Nade finally understood.
"Okay then, Eruki tries to persuade Dorothy… … . The last one?"
Eruki asked.
"How is Sabina?"
You need to have good skills, but emotional kinship is also important to form a team.
In that sense, Sabina was an excellent choice.
"That will never happen."
Nade firmly shook his head.
Victor Sabina, the red one of Dante's party.
He was a strong air magician who fired dozens of air cuts per second, and his skills were certain as he had a record of defeating Nade in 2,000 battles.
"Don't just say no, think about it. It seems like he cares about you. I also decided to conciliate Dorothy, and Shirone also has to ask a difficult favor."
"no! no! Absolutely not!"
As Nade struggled, flailing his limbs, Shirone sighed and said,
"Then what are you going to do? It's not a matter of being able to do it or not. Why are you not like you?"
Nade sighed and rubbed his hands together.
"Never mind! give me one chance Somehow, within time, I'll try to find an assistant. Sabina really sucks!"
There was no way to stop him from saying he didn't want to die.
"okay. Then, Nade, find a helper in time, and let's conciliate Amy and Dorothy, who are with me."
That's how the end was built.
* * *
That night, Shirone went to Amy's room.
Considering Amy's skills, there was no plan B, so she had to be embraced.
'There is no tailing.'
The enemies had declared war anyway, so it didn't matter if they followed him.
I heard Amy's voice as I knocked on the door.
"who are you?"
"It's me, Shirone."
Amy opened the door and tilted her head.
I was wearing my pajamas as if I had just washed, and my hair was still wet.
"Shirone? What happened all of a sudden?"
I'm not the type to decorate, but the atmosphere was different from what I saw during the day just because I was wearing comfortable clothes.
As Shirone looked at her with her eyes shining, Amy asked with a blush in embarrassment.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Have you seen it before?"
His tone was blunt, but he didn't hate it.
"No, I think it looks good in pajamas too."
"blood."
Amy ate as if she wanted to hear all the stars.
"It's not like it's free, so what are you here for?"
"in fact… … I have something to ask of you."
"Huh, I knew that. What is your request?"
Seeing that Amy's voice still had a sweet feeling, Shirone gained courage and said with a bright smile.
"This time, supernatural psychic science… … ."
bang!
The door is closed.
* * *
The final meeting of Scramble Royale is a holiday this week.
Until then, Shirone and the others, who had to find helpers, decided to take advantage of the lunch break, the only break.
Among the candidates for helpers, the key person was definitely Amy, so Shirone persistently followed her around.
However, it was very difficult to change her mind, who was by no means inferior to Shirone, if she was stubborn.
"Amy, this is really important. You know what the Supernatural Psychic Research Society is like."
"… … ."
"It's a research society created by Mr. Miro. If the history of the study meeting ends in our generation… … ."
"Oh, really!"
Amy, impatient, screamed.
"What do you know? Whether the research society is overturned or overturned! By the way, are you really not going to graduate? Did you refuse to evaluate for this?"
"No, I have to graduate… … ."
Looking at Shirone, who lowered her head with a sullen face, Amy twitched her lips.
'Oh, if this naive kid was in a hurry… … .'
It means that Shirone, who doesn't want to cause trouble to others, is really desperate to cling to her like this.
Also, he didn't hate the fact that the target was himself.
'Still can't do it. How about a week… … .'
The risk was too great to allow it only with emotion.
Even if the graduating class rank was the price, Amy, who was ranked 5th in the ranking, did not have much merit.
Most of all, it bothered me that I couldn't fully focus on the evaluation during the scramble royale.
Of course, I was asked to participate only when I had time, but I didn't want to be a burden with such half-power.
'If I'm going to do it, I'll do it properly.'
With such determination that I could even give up on graduation.
However, I still had doubts about whether this case was that serious.
"okay. I'll think about it. So please, straighten her face. Because it looks like it's going to be messed up."
Shirone's face brightened only then.
"Thank you, Amy."
Nade, who was listening to the conversation between the two, thought.
'It won't be easy, Shirone too.'
Then, looking back at Eruki who was eating in front of him, he asked.
"how about you? Is Dorothy going well?"
"huh. We'll talk more about it later."
"Ooh, are you interested?"
"Are you an idiot, let me get to the point first? First of all, I said it was about the senior class rankings, so I had no choice but to come."
"It's pretty prudent. But what do you think about that? You said you weren't interested in women's psychology."
"I can look at it calmly because I am not interested. Do you know what guys who can't date have in common? It means you want to be in a relationship too much. Women are full of emotions, and they are naturally gifted with the ability to deal with a man's emotions. The moment you lose your cool, you will be eaten."
"Sheesh, keep your mouth alive."
Nade became even more anxious.
Anyway, Amy is also showing interest little by little, and although I don't know why, I feel like I'll succeed.
'It's a big deal. I have to find a candidate within today.'
Being friendly with everyone was his weapon, but the fact that there were few people with whom he could deeply sympathize became his poison.
'Screamer? Even if it's violent, there's loyalty. No, it's not suitable for Scramble Royale. Luman can't be trusted.'
At that moment, when I was lost in thought, I saw Suabi standing in front of Dante and stamping her feet.
'huh? What's going on?'
Suabi is a utility major.
Although he has an indecisive personality due to indecisiveness, he was a talent in the utility world who constantly ran dozens of buff magic.
Although he was eaten by Eruki's cancellation, he was incomparable as a supporter of the current scramble royale.
"Guys, I'll be back for a while."
When I went to the place where Suabi was, I saw Sabina and Closer, who always accompany Dante, with their mouths open with absurd expressions.
"therefore… … You think you like me?"
At Dante's question, Suabi's face turned red.
"No, so… … Actually, I don't know. You seem to like it, so I wanted to ask you."
Nade, who had been listening from behind, stuck out his tongue.
'It's really serious. Is liking something also a decision disorder?'
Also, one more thing to add to Eruki's theory is that once you're handsome, you don't have to think complicatedly.
Dante's attitude was natural, as if it was something he had often experienced.
"To sum up, I don't know if you like me or not, so you want me to tell you?"
Suabi bowed her head.
"Hmm, well. Even if you ask me… … ."
"I will tell you."
While everyone looked away with a surprised expression, Nade raised his hand like a referee and joined the conversation.
"Suabi, you don't like Dante."
"You don't like it?"
"of course. You haven't talked much before, have you?"
"but… … My heart is pounding."
"That's because you were temporarily obsessed with your appearance. Wouldn't it be a much nicer person who can approach you first and have a conversation with you, who is shy?"
"Is that so?"
Nade got to the point as if he had been waiting.
"okay. Do you understand now? Actually you like me… … ."
"thank god. Unrequited love is really heartbreaking."
"… … ."
Dante said as he stood in the dark like a sack of barley that Nade had borrowed, watching the male aphid receding.
"What are you doing now?"
"shut up! You ruined everything! What are you going to do now?"
"What should I do? What did I do?"
Sabina slammed the cutlery with a bang.
"Hey, Nade. Look at me for a second."
"no. Why am I looking at you?"
Sabina's eyes widened as she grieved at this.
"If you come out, come out."
She, who always avoided eye contact as if she was terrified when our eyes met, was overflowing with power today.
As Nade left the restaurant, Sabina, who was leaning against the wall, asked interrogatively.
"What are you doing these days?"
Nade quietly averted his gaze.
"What do you do? Useless meddling… … ."
"Tell me if you need help. I will help you."
"There is no such thing."
Irritation welled up in Sabina's eyes, but she sighed and walked past Nade.
"Take it when they say yes. That's why you can't fall in love."
"That… … !"
Sabina went into the dining room without looking back, and after calming down for a while, Nade returned to his seat.
"What did you and Sabina talk about?"
"He said he would help. But I declined."
Eruki turned to Sabina.
"Why don't you like it? Like a fly? You're from the central region, so there are a lot of kids dressed up like that in the capital city."
"Who said what? Sabina is fine. I have eyes to see."
"Then what the hell is wrong?"
"Haha, Sabina… … ."
Nade let out a worried sigh and swallowed his words.
'You saw my real face.'

[565] Opening (1)
As the moon rose, a man and a woman met behind the graduation building.
Dorothy came out first and waited, and after 5 minutes, Eruki appeared.
"It's late. 5 minutes."
Dorothy scolded her with her unique tone, but Eruki's hair does not forget the time.
"You came five minutes early."
"that's right. My watch is five minutes fast."
Dorothy shyly turned her head away.
"But I always forget."
Eruki couldn't analyze what the current conversation meant to Dorothy.
"Then I'll start with the main point."
As Dorothy nodded, an explanation of Scramble Royale continued.
No other words interrupted until the explanation was finished.
"Scramble Royale runs from noon to midnight every day. You will be able to take the morning evaluation, and if you are in a hurry, you can attend the afternoon evaluation as well. Wouldn't that be a bad suggestion since you can bring down the majority who are higher than you?"
"also?"
It was Dorothy's only question.
"also?"
"Is that why you called me? Don't you have something else to say?"
After thinking about it, Eruki said.
"there is. To be honest, if I participate in Scramble Royale, I will give up on the afternoon evaluation. Of course, there are no restrictions, but in reality it is."
"… … ."
Dorothy looked at Eruki for a long time and then gently put her hand on his cheek.
"slap."
She was the one who let out the effect sound through her mouth, but Eruki's expression was still the same.
"okay. I will."
"thank you. On behalf of the Supernatural Psychic Research Society."
"As you said, it wasn't a bad suggestion. Can I go to the study meeting on a holiday?"
Before Eruki could answer, Dorothy immediately turned and headed for the inn.
* * *
After the evaluation on the 6th day of the week, the day to discuss the Scramble Royale was approaching on the 1st.
Upon arriving at the study group, the shadow of death was cast over Nade's pale eyes.
'I couldn't find it. Now I am dead.'
I shouted loudly, but most of the students who suggested it did not even pay attention.
This is probably because the risk of being disturbed in the evaluation during the war was greater than expected.
"No, that's not it."
Eruki, who had already embraced Dorothy, was the only one who wiggled his fingers with a relaxed expression.
"It's because we calculated the benefit of the non-participant in addition to the risk."
Shirone nodded sadly.
"Because we can score more points than our competitors while participating in Scramble Royale."
"cadet! is that the problem? If you win, you can step on the kids in Class One!"
Unlike the excited Nade, Eruki was calm.
"Low risk low return. Not a bad choice. And besides, that kind of determination won't help anyway. The time has come to devise realistic alternatives."
The realistic alternative was Sabina after all, so the prickly Nade kept her mouth shut.
To be honest, it would be welcome if anyone would help in this yard, but the desire that she would never get entangled was no less than that.
"okay. Let's go and talk."
"Go quickly. go now I really don't have time anymore I'll go see Amy again."
When Shirone left the meeting first with a depressed expression, Nade, who was following, turned to Eruki.
"I have a problem too, but what about Shirone? To be honest, it's true that it's an unreasonable schedule. The person asking for it or the person refusing it must feel bad, but won't it become awkward again after this?"
"Amy will join. Don't worry, you'll be fine."
"huh? What are you talking about?"
As if he hadn't heard, Eruki looked back at the wall and murmured.
"Now that this has happened, we have no choice but to use the final card."
* * *
"Haha, that's really going crazy."
In the end, he turned back to Sabina and Mannade sat down on a park bench and sighed that the ground would go away.
'know. I know.'
As the chairman of the research society, he had to take responsibility for the doctor, but there were certain problems that he hated more than dying.
"What are you doing here?"
"Don't tell me. My head is messed up right now… … huh?"
Realizing that it was Sabina's voice, Nade hurriedly turned his head.
"How do you feel?"
"Eruki told me to go. He said he was looking for me."
Eruki's grinning face came to mind.
"What, you didn't say sit down? Didn't you find me? just go?"
"No, you can't go, so… … ."
Sabina said, trying to hide her bubbling expression.
"Hey, do you hate me that much?"
"Who doesn't like it? no sound… … ."
Realizing that he was watching, Nade suddenly changed his expression and shouted.
"Then why do you keep caring about me? I don't know your intentions. Are you sure you really like me or not at all?"
"Why do you think so?"
"huh?"
Sabina sat down on the bench.
"Yeah, honestly, I admit I'm weird. From the moment I saw you that day."
Nade didn't move.
It was immobility as if frozen in time, and Sabina got goosebumps at the absolute sense of life she had never felt in her life.
'Oh, I'm really scared… … .'
After 2,000 battles last year, he was lynched by Nade.
Since then, she has been haunted by nightmares of Nade strangling her every day.
'How did this happen?'
If the fear is too intense, it may be that Sabina also unlocked the mind of Nade, just as she surrenders herself to the fear.
"I was so scared. To be honest, I still do. So please… … Could you please stop doing that?"
"Oh sorry."
Nade grabbed his face.
'Damn it, another mistake.'
The face of 'it' that is revealed without even knowing it.
I wanted to smash the even more repulsive face that resembled my mother.
"But I'm not doing this because I'm afraid. I've been watching you I laughed and chatted with my friends, and it was a little different from the Dante team I was a part of. It looked really fun."
Nade, who was sitting on the bench, said in a cold voice.
"It's all fake. That's not who I really am."
It was the first time other than Eruki confessed honestly.
"What is your true form?"
Nade looked back at Sabina.
"Whether you're a scary person or pretending to be nice, it's you in the end. There is nothing fake about you."
Sabina said with a kind smile.
"Nade desperately tries to hide his scary appearance. That's the only you, and that's what I saw of Nade."
Nade kept his mouth shut.
Even if the muscles in his face loosened even a little, tears seemed to come pouring out.
"I just want to know you a little more. So don't worry. Of course, it wouldn't help if my skills were lacking."
With Nade still silent, Sabina rose from her seat with a resigned expression.
"If you change your mind… … ."
"Scramble Royale."
"huh?"
Nade raised his head as if he had made up his mind.
"Do you want to join me? With your help, I think I can do it right."
Sabina smiled.
* * *
The day of negotiations finally arrived.
Nade became remarkably healthy in a day, but this time Shirone looked like a corpse.
It was the first time that even his friends had seen Shirone tremble like this.
"What do we do? In the end, I couldn't convince Amy."
"Ugh, anyway, stubbornness should be acknowledged."
Nade clicked his tongue and said.
"There is nothing I can do about it. You just have to negotiate well and strike a balance."
"But even that is giving up one negotiating card. Sorry! because of me… … ."
When Shirone was about to cry, Nade patted his shoulder.
"Where is that word? If you can't convince anyone, you can't convince anyone. It is unavoidable."
"Ahhh! It's all my responsibility."
Eruki confirmed that Shirone was covering her face with both hands, and stood up.
"I'll be gone for a while. We are preparing to welcome guests first."
"Where? We only have a few hours left."
"I have a prior arrangement."
After saying that, Eruki left Istas and headed straight to the store.
It was quiet because it was a holiday, and Amy raised her hand after waiting while drinking coffee.
"How is Shirone?"
"I will die soon. It's not good to live."
Amy asked with an apologetic expression.
"Is there really nothing you can do about it?"
"there is. You can participate."
"Is that sound again? You said no. I mean this is the second graduation exam. Mistakes are unacceptable."
Eruki nodded.
"know. So I'm going to stop begging you now."
"Then why did you ask to see me?"
"To intimidate."
Amy raised one eyebrow.
"How are you going to blackmail me?"
"You know Kayden, right? I'm the president of the Women's Human Body Research Society."
"Oh, I didn't see that."
Amy consciously tried not to pay attention.
"You may have heard it roughly from Shirone, but there are many similarities between scramble royale and regular dining out. If you set the rules, they come into play."
"so?"
"Kaden has always liked Maya. And Maya likes Shirone."
"so?"
Gradually, I began to think that I couldn't go any further.
"Kaden has a grudge against Shirone. Perhaps you would suggest a condition like this. If you lose, you won't be able to date Amy for the rest of your life."
"that… … recipe?"
"It's just like that."
Amy hit the table.
"Are you kidding me? what kind of threat is that? What am I doing with Shirone? We are not in any relationship. Even on the day we returned, we had already talked to each other like that."
"I don't know that far. This is the last chance to just turn around, so I thought I should tell you."
Eruki stood up from his seat and said.
"That's why Shirone must have been desperate. Don't be too sad that I didn't know your circumstances. We are also cheering for your graduation more than anyone else."
Watching Eruki leave the store, Amy sucked up the remaining coffee in one go.
* * *
"no! Absolutely not!"
Back at the dormitory, Amy confirmed that it was time for the scramble royal negotiation table to open soon.
If he loses, he has no future with Shirone.
"joy! Who are you dating? Anyway, men are funny. Even if you pay even a little attention, you will be mistaken."
If you participate in Scramble Royale, you will suffer a huge loss in the graduation evaluation.
"Even if there is a possibility, what? What kind of stupid thing is that if you can't graduate and only date?"
Amy sat down at her desk and opened a book.
'Okay, let's forget it! you're studying! Not a single man is Shirone, and I don't have to worry about giving up my life. furthermore… … Could Shirone's team win?'
The pages of the theory of thermodynamics turned quickly.
'Kayden.'
Amy, who closed the book with a bang, jumped up from her chair.
"No, but this kid is really… … !"
* * *
The hour hand pointed to noon.
As Estas started operating, the Supernatural Psychic Research Society came down to the first floor, and six members of the combined team entered at the agreed time.
Hersy looked at the numbers first.
'5 people.'
The expectation that Amy would be included was wrong, but it was actually a good news.
'Estas is ours.'
The discussion took place with both parties sitting face-to-face.
"The time to conclude the negotiations is until midnight today."
"good. 12 hours is tight, so let's set a big frame first. Divided into game rules, rewards and rewards, and taboos… … ."
Then the door opened violently.
"hey! Cayden!"
Amy stood where everyone looked.
"Amy?"
Shirone was the most surprised, but she didn't even look at him and went straight to Cayden.
"wanna die? Who wants you to interfere with other people's marriages, no, love affairs?"
Caden closed his eyes as if ignoring him.
"I don't know what you mean. Nothing has been decided yet."
"huh?"
Only then did Amy come to her senses and turn her head.
The Scramble Royale participants were staring at them with dazed expressions.

===============================
[566] Opening (2)
"Aha, that's right, right?"
Amy raised her chin and confidently received her gaze, then sat down next to Shirone and crossed her legs.
"Okay, from now on I will also participate in Scramble Royale. I'll make you not be able to go to school, rank or anything."
"It is what I wished for."
Hersy responded with a smile, but she couldn't hide her bitter expression.
"Amy… … ."
Amy gritted her teeth and whispered at Shirone's blank expression.
"See you when this is over. Be prepared."
"yea, I got it."
I felt like I had gained a thousand troops just because Amy came.
With all 12 participants gathered, Hersie took out the jersey.
"First of all, let's decide the competition event."
The triggering of the rule is from the moment it is entered into the judge, so it was important to properly draw out a consultation in advance.
"First of all, the confrontation suggests 'black and white'."
Nade nodded.
"No objection. But isn't it in order to explain before that? That's what you suggested."
It was an investigation to find out what the other person knew, but Hersie readily agreed.
"The last time the jersey was used was 7 years ago. At that time, as a result of Scramble Royale, the shadowy research society 'Bizarre Taste' was disbanded. All I know is to find a tile that is summoned at a specific time and place and have a confrontation."
If it was no different from what Nade knew, the quality of the information was equal in the end.
"Then let's begin. Who will make it work?"
Nade held out his hand as if he were passing it off.
"Okay then… … ."
When Hersh pressed the button on his jersey, the side with the pen opened and a piece of paper slipped out from the bottom.
Hersey took out a piece of paper and a pen, wrote black and white, and showed it to Shirone's team.
"I checked."
When the paper was inserted into the gap of the jersey, it was sucked back into the device with a mechanical sound, and a hemispherical lens popped out.
From there, light sprayed onto the ceiling, and a tiny human woman, like a fairy, spun and floated up.
"Hello, Alpheas Magic School students. My name is Lulu, who will introduce the black and white game rules from now on."
The history of Scramble Royale is 30 years, and it is said that they used the technology of heaven, but the technology of the distant seniors was admirable.
"Black and white use the area within Alpheas Magic School as the battlefield, and it does not judge the space that is not entered in the judge. Unless otherwise agreed, the duration of the competition is 7 days, and the competition time is from noon to midnight every day."
Lulu raised her palm as if supporting a tray.
"When a match between black and white starts, spheres of light equal to the number of participants are created, which is called a scramble."
A small orb of light appeared above her palm.
'It's a luminous body. It should be easy to find at night.'
While everyone had similar thoughts, explanations continued.
"Collecting scrambles will cause the light to disappear and transform into a single card."
When Lulu held the sphere of light, it transformed into a card with henna on both sides.
"This is called a card in its pure state, that is, a genuine card. The important point here is that the retention time of the pure state is only 1 second based on the photon field."
'It's a photon system standard… … .'
If there is room for the theory of relativity to be applied, it is not absolute time.
"The pure state is important because only in this state can you choose between black and white. Let me give you an example. hundred."
The henna disappeared from one side of the card and turned into a clean white side.
"This is the white card. Also, we delayed the time for the demonstration, but in reality, you have to make a judgment within one second, so please be careful."
Eruki asked.
"Does it have to be word of mouth? When it comes to choosing between black and white."
Lulu's liveliness disappeared.
"… … An answerable question has been entered. You don't necessarily have to verbalize keywords to choose between black and white. However, you must be in the Spirit Zone."
With the same principle as Kubrick, it was a method of detecting the mental change of the card holder.
"I will continue the explanation. If 1 second passes in the pure state, it is regarded as giving up the black and white option, and the card is automatically converted into a random state card."
As Lulu's white card turned gray, a black letter R was engraved in the center.
"This is a random card. If you enter the keyword 'open' in this state, you can get one of the black and white cards. Let me give you an example. open."
The letter R disappeared and turned into a card painted black.
"This is the basics of dealing with scramble. Incidentally, it is possible to acquire multiple items in a scrambled state, but once they are in pure state, they cannot be transferred."
Shirone's head spun.
'A single person can collect multiple scrambles, but they're bound at that point. Therefore, what we need to worry about is the variable depending on whether it is black, white, or random.'
Amy asked.
"How is it verified that non-transferability is possible? Depending on the case, you can dig a loophole in the rules, right?"
"… … An answerable question has been entered. What I will explain from now on is 'Master Card'."
The liquid crystal-shaped card with a red border was held in Lulu's hand.
"At the start of the match, Master Cards are given to all participants. It is a card that allows you to obtain various information such as scramble coordinates, other participants' card status, and your own card status."
Cheating is impossible if cards collected by other players are recorded.
"Please take good care of it. If your Master Card is lost or destroyed, you will be disqualified from participating."
Anchal asked.
"Can it be stolen and destroyed?"
Lulu said right away.
"it's possible. Scramble is summoned once every 2 hours when the game starts, and you can collect them to form a tall hand and face off."
Shirone entered the calculation.
'Summoned once every 2 hours. Since there are 12 participants, the total number of scrambles summoned per day will be 72.'
In theory, one person could collect all 72 scrambles.
Of course, this was possible only when the other 11 people were scarecrows.
"Okay, now that I've introduced the rough rules, I'm going to tell you the priority of the tiles you need to collect. The maximum number of cards that can be collected in black and white matches is six in total. If you collect scrambles while already holding six cards, they will be automatically destroyed."
Eruki nodded.
'I can't get a card, but I can interfere with the other side from collecting, so it's not a meaningless rule.'
Lulu continued the explanation.
"Depending on the combination of black and white, a strong hand and a weak hand are divided. Hands other than the set combinations are meaningless, so think carefully before collecting them. Then, I will show you meaningful hand combinations from step 1."
Black and white cards floated to her left and right.
"There are two significant losses in the first stage. It is black and white."
As Lulu pointed at the air with her right hand, a diagram made of symbols came to mind.
●(bad)<○(good).
"This is the first level of priority, calling black evil and white good."
'Good first? Will the ranks be divided from the first stage?'
It was surprising that superiority and inferiority were decided from the start.
"Let's move on to step two. There are three possible combinations, but two are significant.
○○ (Saint) <●● (Heretic).
Everyone's eyes changed.
'It was reversed.'
In the first stage, the white hand had the upper hand, but in the second stage, the black hand had the upper hand.
Since the combination of ○● was meaningless, catching the bag in the first stage was not the only skill.
'Realistically, if there are 12 scrambles in the first place, 12 players should get one each. Even if you gain the upper hand with the white hand, you will lose to the black hand after 2 hours.'
"It's a three-level combination."
●●●(Apostasy)<○○○(Religion)<●○●(Republicanism)<○●○(Eastern Society).
There are 4 meaningful combinations, and the strongest in the 3rd level is the third class.
'It's also a turnaround.'
The Triad was a hand that could only be combined if two white cards, that is, the saint, were captured in the second stage.
"Step 4."
○○○○(Pope)<●●●●(Mine)<○○○●(Monarchy)<●●●○(Dictator)<○●○●(Democracy).
'Hmm, the ratio of white and black is half and half is the strongest in the 4th level.'
From now on, there are many variables, so it was not possible to analyze the advantage or disadvantage right away.
"Step 5."
○●○●(Revolution)<○○●○○(Emperor)<●●○●●(Conviction)<●●●●●(Demon King)<○○○○○(Holy Mother)
Shirone realized a big change.
'The combination of black and white is weak, and a single pattern has emerged as the strongest. However, if you want to create a Demon Lord or Holy Mother, you have to take a lot of damage from the first stage.'
I guessed the personality of the person who made the match between black and white.
"This is the final step 6."
○●○●○●(Chaos)<○●○○●○(Amplification)<●○●●○●(Disappear)<●●●●●●(Air)<○○○○○○(Infinite).
This time, a single pattern is the strongest, but it seemed like a success even if you just made a meaningful combination up to step 6 with a random card.
"Above 23 types of cards are meaningful combinations, and the rest have no meaning. A hand that has no meaning, this is called a 'full loss'."
'Even if I'm holding a full blow, if it's up to the 5th level, I can make a meaningful combination by winning the next scramble.'
Lulu said while wiping the schematic.
"Are you sure you remembered everything? Then I will erase it."
No one answered as they were absorbed in their own thoughts.
"Now that I know the hand, I will explain the matchup method. When scrambles are collected, one of the following symbols will appear on each master card: white (○), black (●), or random (ⓡ). Of course, the random card cannot be checked, and even if the owner has opened it, it will still be displayed as random on the master card of other participants."
"It becomes a hidden card."
"you're right. If you want to check the opponent's hidden card, you can bet."
"Kang?"
"It means to win. I will summon Lily for a demonstration."
When the girls who looked identical like twins were born, Lulu showed her Master Card.
"My hand recorded on my master card is White 2, Black 1, Third Division. Also, when I checked Lily's combination… … ."
A symbol of ●●ⓡ was written on Lili's current status.
"It's a state where you can't see the combination with Black 2 and Random 1. It may actually be random, or it may have already been opened by Lily. Then let's try Caen. Lily, Kang."
Lily's master card glowed red.
"If the opponent bets Kang, the receiver must choose Kang or Pao within 1 second based on the photon field. Kang means to fight, and Pao means to refuse. If you cannot decide between Kang and Pao within 1 second, all cards in your hand will be destroyed. This is called 'gaepae'."
Eruki asked.
"If Kang enters while the opponent has not opened a random card, will the random card be automatically opened? Or is it not included in the combination?"
Lulu's liveliness disappeared again.
"That's a question I can't answer."
'Hmm, as for whether it's applied or not, go into practice and find out for yourself.'
"First of all, if Lily receives Kang. Lily."
When Lili shouted Kang, the random display disappeared and a combination of ●○● (Republic) appeared.
"I am the Third Division, and Lily is the Republic. That is, I win. At that point, all of Lily's cards are ruined."
Lulu's master card erased Lili's status.
'If you lose, all cards are lost. I'll have to be careful about receiving Kang.'
"The range in which Kang can be cast matches the area of the Spirit Zone. also… … ."
Lulu continued with a meaningful smile.
"The loser in the battle of Caen cannot do any harm to the winner until the next scramble summons."
"what?"
The atmosphere of the 12 people who were listening to the rules became agitated for the first time.

Chapter - 567 - Open War (3).txt
===============================
[567] Opening (3)
Shirone asked.
"What exactly do you mean by incapable of harm?"
"This includes both primary physical and psychological attacks. However, it is not involved in the tactical application, that is, the secondary part."
Hersey said.
"It is secondary. So you're saying it's possible to set a trap and wait for the participants?"
"That's right. Because the subject of the attack is not Kang's loser, but the object, strategy, or terrain."
"I understand. What if you choose Pao?"
"Rejection. In other words, even if pao is selected, the player who casts kang cannot be harmed until the next scramble is summoned. But in this case, it doesn't matter."
"But I can keep the card."
"That is exactly what it is."
Eruki rested his chin on his chin and was lost in thought.
Whether it was losing in Caen or choosing Pao, not being able to harm the opponent was a fatal risk.
'You have to be chased by the opponent for up to two hours. If the Master Card is stolen from it… … .'
The face of the game will change in an instant.
'It's not just about competing over a hand of cards. Rather, it is a game rule that urges you to destroy your opponent's Master Card. In addition to tactics, combat power is also important.'
Amy asked.
"What if the priorities are the same? That is, if the combination of cards is the same."
"When the same hand is played, there is no winner or loser. Also, it's not a bitch."
I didn't say it openly, but from then on, it contained the meaning of hitting and hitting like I was going to kill.
'Hmm, I thought there would be a priority for the learning time, but I just need to match the hand.'
Then there is no need to open the random card right away.
"These are the rules of the game. Do you understand everything?"
There was no answer.
It's true that I understood the rules, but I felt like I had to play the game myself to understand the intention behind them.
'The rule itself is simple. However, due to the use of random cards and the variable of being invincible for 2 hours, there is plenty of room for complicated twists.'
Lulu finished.
"Basically, the duration of the game is 7 days. In other words, the player with the highest hand wins by midnight on the last day, and all rewards and rewards are distributed through the judge."
In summary, in order to win in black and white, one of two conditions must be met.
Fight against opponents and destroy all master cards, or keep the strongest hand until the time.
'I can't see anything being easy. To destroy the Master Card, you must defeat everyone on the opposing team. On the other hand, with cards, even if only one person has the strongest hand, they can win, but it is difficult to keep it for 7 days. A sacrificial strategy will also be needed.'
"The location of the scramble is indicated by XYZ coordinates, and disappears from the master card when a participant collects it. This was the 'black and white' game rule so far. I hope you find various ways to apply the rules and enjoy the game with your friends."
The lights on the jersey went out as Lulu disappeared.
"A fun game is a bummer."
someone muttered.
* * *
After hearing the black and white rule, all 12 people were silent as they weighed the variables that occurred in the rules and their abilities.
'Win. I won this game unconditionally.'
He didn't show it, but Nade was trembling inside.
1 second based on the photon field.
If time was flexible, there was enough room for Shirone's statue of Buddha to explode.
Eruki went into a bit more detail.
'If you cast a slow, you can increase it by 1 second. But it's not at that level.'
The key is whether to use random cards.
I don't know the exact time until the random card is confirmed as black and white, but it's probably no more than 1 second.
Therefore, Shirone can open random cards repeatedly until the color he wants comes out.
It is ignoring randomness, the downside of hidden cards.
There was no way he wasn't thinking of it as Shirone, but he still kept his poker face and looked at the opposing team.
'Only my friends are aware of my abilities.'
But even if they didn't know, it was clear that it wasn't an easy game, and all of the allied teams looked confident.
'Unfounded Confidence? Or is it a deadly strategy?'
After each of their thoughts were sorted out to some extent, Hercy stepped forward and proceeded with the discussion.
"Now then, let's move on to the matter of compensation and cost."
Nade brought out what he had in mind.
"First of all, check what has been decided. If we win, the 6 members of the combined team must rank lower than us before the graduation exam."
Hersy said, taking temporary notes in a notebook.
"good. Then, when our team wins, the Supernatural Psychic Research Society will leave Eastas."
It was easy so far, but the problem came next.
"If the whole is decided, shall we move on to the individual? Raise your hand if there is a reward or price you want to bet on this Scramble Royale."
The reason why no one raises their hand right now is because they are not simply saying what they want.
consulted in any way.
In order to achieve compensation, you must accept the price equivalent to that requested by the other party.
"I will suggest one."
When Cayden raised his hand, Shirone's team became very nervous, and Shirone in particular bit nervously with her lips.
It's because it's not strange to ask for anything if you're a person who is obsessed with jealousy.
'I don't care if it separates me from Amy. But if you're thinking about what to do with Amy… … .'
While all kinds of disturbing thoughts wandered through her head, Shirone took a deep breath.
'Let's stay calm. Even absurd conditions can be adjusted through consultation.'
The only uneasy thing is that as long as they accepted Scrumble Royale, the match must be played.
If you refuse, it is an unwritten rule to dismiss it as abstention, and if you reject even that, then it was a war.
"The condition I demand is that if our side wins… … ."
Saliva ran down Shirone's throat.
"Shirone, you are confessing your love to Maya with all your heart."
"… … what?"
My eyes widened at the unexpected remark, but when I thought about it, it was fortunate that Amy wasn't involved.
Amy's reaction, on the other hand, was completely different.
"This bastard! How do you know a person's heart? Do you think you can control your emotions with a game like this?"
"I was never forced. If you can't do it, you have to pay the price with death. The issue of contract termination will be discussed later."
"this… … !"
"Amy, wait."
The moment Amy raised her fist, Shirone said.
"Nothing has been decided yet. If it is something that cannot be done, it can be coordinated through consultation."
Although Shirone said that, she had an intuition that in the end she had no choice but to accept Caden's proposal.
"okay. The subject of consultation is Shirone. you know That this is the most realistic condition I can propose."
said Amy.
"Shirone, ignore it. Do you have about 11 hours left? Let's go to the end with this agenda."
Caden's eyes widened.
"Do you really want to go all the way? If this agreement is everything, I'll have to raise the difficulty too. How about Amy being my doll if we win? Or will she sell it for a garland of gold?"
Amy hit the table with both hands.
"With whom? I'd rather die than that!"
"Then die!"
Caden shouted at him.
"Do you think this is a school? No one cares if you die. I also made as many concessions as possible for smooth negotiations. The Shadow Research Society has its own rules, and it's a gathering where everyone agrees. If you don't want to, just leave."
Shirone asked.
"What does that mean to you? I mean to confess my love to Maya. Do you like Maya?"
"She is my muse."
Cayden's eyes flashed with madness.
"I can sacrifice anything to make her happy. She can also kill anyone."
"Everybody calm down."
Eruki controlled the atmosphere.
"It's just a proposal from the other party. And Cayden made it clear he wasn't going to back down from here. then… … ."
Electricity flew in Eruki's eyes as he glared at Cayden.
"You mean you're prepared to pay the price, right?"
Perhaps the person who is most angry at this place may be Eruki, who dragged Amy into it.
"That, too, is to be decided after listening to the conditions."
Hercy stepped forward and took over Eruki's life.
"But before that, can we offer a price first?"
Nade asked with the momentum to strike at any moment.
"Why are you offering our compensation?"
"Don't do that, listen. That would be a bad condition."
Sabina, who calmed Nade down, asked.
"Okay, talk."
Hersy laughed and raised her index finger.
"If you accept Kayden's offer, I'll let one of your members pass the graduation exam."
"what… … Called?"
"It's not that I'm going to give you a stamp of approval, but I'm saying that I'll use all my personal connections and abilities to get you through."
'It's Fermi.'
There is no physical evidence that Hwa-Ryun Geum is acting as a broker for graduation exams, but it is certain.
'It's not something Hersy alone can suggest. He has already set the limits of the agreement.'
Hersy spread two fingers.
"If you don't like it, how about something like this? Until the graduation exam, all the Golden Wheel members are in a lower rank than your team."
There was no doubt that it was an unconventional proposal since graduation was a top priority at a magic school.
'Why are you so obsessed with Scramble Royale? What is the secret of Estas?'
"Let's accept it."
Everyone on Shirone's team turned to Dorothy.
"what?"
"Let's accept it. Aside from being a member of the research team, Sabina and I are strangers. I think we can do our best only with that level of compensation."
Dorothy turned to Eruki.
"Isn't that why you brought me in?"
Eruki nodded meekly.
"It doesn't."
said Nade.
"But Dorothy, even if you graduate that way… … ."
"know. I have no intention of passing with help from anyone. I don't have to be privileged. However, if you are in a situation where you are on the edge of passing, it is impossible to guarantee. Does anyone want to stay here for another year?"
Dorothy held out her hand.
"Sorry, I said it wrong. My point is, apart from using the acceptance card, it is much more efficient to receive it for now. It's not asking for Amy's body, and it's not that Shirone wants to date Maya. Is it just a confession? And what we get is one acceptance card. Do you know what this means?"
Regardless of whether they pass or not, it means that there will be room to control the entire Fermi party in the graduation exam.
'The golden ring will definitely do its best. As long as the agreement was reached through interdiction, there would be no choice but to pay the price of breaking the contract. Hersy's words are true.'
While Eruki was lost in thought, Dorothy added.
"Please don't misunderstand. If there were any other way, I would have declined an offer like this. But there is no better compromise than this in the matter of Shirone and Caden, Amy and Maya. To be honest, isn't it stupid not to accept it?"
After thinking, Eruki asked Caden.
"Is it just a confession? Apart from Maya's choice?"
"Of course. It doesn't matter as long as Maya accepts it. But confessions must be sincere. If you can't do it, you'll have to pay the price."
"Pooh woo woo."
very ambiguous
From a rational point of view, the scales had already tipped, but it felt like being in equilibrium again due to emotional problems.
Nade grabbed his head.
'Hercy will not back down. That would be the condition for participating in the war.'
Knowing that fact, Hercy also offered the most powerful negotiating card, even taking the loss.
"Let's go out and coordinate our opinions for a moment."
To be precise, he wanted to hear Shirone's thoughts in advance.
"However much. Today is such a day."
When Hercy suggested it, Nade called his friends as he left the table.
"Everyone come out."
Staring at the united team, the five of them lined up around the table and left the study group.
