“Young Master, I’m sure you must be tired, but can we begin the reports?” Tomoe asked.

“Yes, of course. Go ahead,” I said.

The party was still going for a few heavy drinkers, though most of the guests had either passed out or were satiated for the night. Those who remained were no doubt planning to stay up until morning.

For the report meeting, we’d all left the hall and gathered in my room. Inside, there was a decent spread of food, along with drinks and water—enough for a light snack as we discussed the night’s reports.

And so, the critical meeting began.

“To start, there’s one important… or rather, potentially important thing to report. It’s about the investigation of the battle site where you fought Mitsurugi,” Tomoe began.

“Oh? What did you find? You said it might be important?” I asked, curious about what they had uncovered. That place held many potential clues—traces of Misturugi, Sofia, and the ring that could seal the Goddess’s powers. What had they discovered?

“During the investigation, we encountered a hero,” Tomoe stated calmly.

“A… a hero?!” I stammered.

A hero, as in one of the people the Goddess kidnapped from Earth, like me?!

“Yep. The one I met was the hero of the Gritonia Empire, a man named Iwahashi Tomoki. Judging by his appearance, he seemed about your age, Young Master.”

“Wait, Gritonia? Didn’t you say you were heading to Limia?” I was confused. The two countries were neighboring powers, but Tomoe had been investigating a location near Limia’s capital. What was a hero from Gritonia doing there?

“It seems he was up to something unsavory. To be blunt… he was a scoundrel. I didn’t sense he’d be any threat to you at the academy, so I decided to leave him be.”

I’m listening to a report about a hero, right?

“It appears the hero of Gritonia is driven by base desires. He may very well be planning to start a war between hyumans once the demon threat is dealt with. And accompanying him was the imperial princess—”

“Wait, hold on. The imperial princess? The hero of Gritonia was traveling with her?” I interrupted, struggling to wrap my head around the situation.

“Yes, and they seemed quite close. In that regard, you could learn something from him, Young Master,” Tomoe teased with a mischievous grin.

So, he’s getting involved with a princess? From a major empire, no less? This Iwahashi guy sure is living it up.

And he’s supposed to be around my age too. I’m not sure whether to feel relieved or nervous about meeting a hero who’s my age…

“And?” I prompted, choosing to ignore Tomoe’s comment.

“When I read the princess’s thoughts, I caught a glimpse of the word ‘gun,’” Tomoe explained. “There were also images of gunpowder, so it looks like they might be trying to create firearms. But I couldn’t fully access her memories. As expected of an imperial figure, her deeper thoughts were well guarded.”

“Guns? In this world? But magick’s so much stronger—what’s the point of making guns? Even for a nation like Gritonia?”
