Louise von Schwarz had received an unexpected vacation during the winter.
The one person above her, the king and her father, had ordered her to rest.
Throughout the winter, the King of Kernstadt would take over the command of the army.
However, she still had to complete a minimum handover, so it took her quite some time to convey the current situation and important matters of the Kernstadt army.
Once all the handover was complete and ...

Rowan knew that the heretics believed in the Hero Religion, yet she took no action against them.
In reality, Rowan had no right to punish or judge them, so there was no reason for her to do so in the first place.
However, Ludwig had just sensed fear in Rowan's demeanor.
If Rowan thought it necessary, she seemed as if she would kill without hesitation.
Ludwig had been traveling with Rowan for about five days, but this was the first tim...

After reporting to the 17th Guard Captain, Ludwig was assigned to escort Rowan.
They headed to the 15th district after confirming that the spread of the epidemic in the 17th district had completely stopped.
As Rowan had said, extreme situations didn't happen that often.
At most, twice.
And it wasn't because Rowan, the priestess, had been discovered that caused the chaos, but because Ludwig had encountered bandits and carried Rowan whi...

After leaving the refugee camp, Rowan headed for the church of Tu’an, located in the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.
"Will you stay there?"
"I prefer to rest at the church closest to the place I have to go the next day, so I don't really have a fixed residence."
As vast as the refugee area was, so was the Imperial Capital. Thus, she traveled around the Imperial Capital without a fixed residence, resting wherever she could find a place ...

The will of the gods belongs to a realm beyond human comprehension.
The gods see further and wider than we do.
And.
It may be a prejudice or a misconception born from the long history of faith that the gods must necessarily favor humans.
The good as perceived by the gods may be different from that perceived by humans.
If the gods consider the extinction of humanity as good, they may well desire it.
Thus, the gods may desir...

Everyone who needed to know was aware that the Demon King had infiltrated the temple.
The fact that he even shared a class with the Emperor, Princess, and the Hero revealed his malicious and wicked nature.
The Demon King observed the most important people of the empire from up close and studied the empire itself. He even tried to secretly pull the prince and princess to his side.
However, in the end, the Demon King's identity was exposed, a...

Reviving a dead friend.
If it had been completely impossible, they wouldn't have even attempted it.
However, if it was somewhat possible, the fact that it couldn't be perfectly successful would only lead people to despair.
In this absurd world, it seemed that death was an immutable truth that could not be overturned by anything.
If they couldn't save Asher, they wouldn't have even tried for Delphin, whose body couldn't be found.

I had anticipated that I would be able to engage in a conversation with Bertus, and I was aware that he would most likely have to comply with my requests, given the situation.
I had chosen the option to take a risk and meet Bertus directly.
The danger wasn't that something would happen to me or Bertus when we met, but rather that someone might eventually learn of our meeting, through whatever means.
Knowing this, it wasn't difficult to get ...

The central palace Tetra in the Imperial City.
The headquarters of the allied forces' garrison.

While Heinrich and Ellen had the freedom to patrol the outskirts of the Imperial Capital on their own, Ludwig could not do such a thing, nor would it be permitted.

Ellen had never imagined that her small and adorable cat could be considered as food by someone else.
She wasn't ignorant of the hunger issues in the refugee camp.
However, since the Gate incident, Ellen had been repeatedly deployed and returned from the battlefield through mass teleportation.
As a result, she had spent very little time in the Imperial Capital after the Gate incident.
Now, she was serving in the allied forces.

Ludwig never enjoyed slaughter.
To be precise, he feared it.
Still, Ludwig fought because he believed it was something he had to do.
That's the kind of person Ludwig is.
If there's a clear and precise goal, he doesn't hesitate to run towards it, even if it's frightening.
But.
In situations where there are no clear and precise answers, Ludwig loses his way.
Until now, Ludwig had relied on the help of his friends for s...

There was no way the Empire had extensive research materials on dark magic, which they had never explored before.

With their last remaining strength, they poured most of their resources int...

Looking at Antirianus, who was clearly showing signs of discontent, Lucinil frowned.

Deciding on it was the problem; in truth, returning to Edina wouldn't take long.
Sneaking into the temple was entirely possible in my beast form.
Not because I was a beast, but from the start, when I passed through the gate, there seemed to be rumors among the guards that I was Ellen's cat.
It felt like I had received some sort of intangible temple pass.
Once out of the temple, I could immediately return to Edina using the teleport sc...

The Royal Class Dormitory was home to the students who had decided to spend their winter there and had obtained permission to do so.
However, not all of them had returned, and some were unable to come back, so the place did not seem crowded.

There were not many people to begin with, and there were even fewer now, so the atmosphere was quite tranquil.

No, to be more precise, it is geniuses who become Mages.

Just like the majority of the allied forces, the Holy Knights and the Five Great Religions had also dedicated all their resources to this war.
Consequently, the Holy Knights' headquarters was operating with a minimum number of personnel.
Naturally, there were no defenses like those found at the Imperial Palace or the Temple at the Holy Knights' headquarters.
