Chapter 362.2. State Of Emergency

-Sena's POV-

"Given that I can't be involved in national affairs, no matter how much financial power I have, it's a tough situation as a noble."

"Queen Takano didn't seem to have much interest in national affairs. She's young, so it would have been a good idea to involve those who support her with financial assistance behind the scenes in national affairs."

Straightening his back with a strict air as usual, Marquis Teijou comforts my elder brother. Whether he's actually comforting him is unclear.

"Marquis Teijou, could you stop giving such brutally honest answers? Even so, our side should have had the greater benefits. And now it's turned into this... Well, maybe we don't need to pursue who defeated him anymore."

"Indeed. If we were to summon Queen Takano again, we would need to change the contract's terms."

Everyone nods in agreement, showing their support for my elder brother's thoughts. Since the Demon God is already defeated, there may not be a need to panic.

If Mii-chan defeated it, Ashtaroth's head should be in her possession. But she would never wish for a loop, and wouldn't even think of it. 

There's no reason to ask the Knowledge Demon for a way to turn back time.

So, is the loop over? It's not a perfect world as I wished. Father is dead, and the authority of the Royal Family has fallen.

But considering the various intrigues, the true identity of the Spatial Witch, and thwarting Kanna Shin's intentions, it's not the best but a better ending.

Thinking the loop has finally ended, a gentle joy wells up in my chest. From now on, without being bound by predetermined fate, I can live freely. The happiness makes my face break into a smile.

"Is something the matter, Sena-san?"

"No, I just felt happy that the Demo God got destroyed."

Noticing the slight change in my expression, Masatoshi-san asks me. Despite his flaws, he's a kind person. I wouldn't have trusted myself until the last loop that I would fall in love with that Masatoshi-san.

With a chuckle, I gently bring my mouth close to the ear of my fiance, who blushes and becomes all lovey-dovey.

"I have an idea. Is it okay?"

"Of course, I will support you with all my might. Leave it to me."

The kind Masatoshi-san nods without even listening to my thoughts. In the future, I'll have to make sure no woman other than Mion-san approaches him; he seems like the type to easily fall into a honey trap.

Having obtained approval, I raise my hand.

"Elder vrother, let's talk about something practical. The Third Academy has been destroyed. The vast collection of books and magic tools in the facility, even the defensive magic-cast school building and the training ground with erected barriers, all gone."

"Indeed, that's true. We need to discuss what to do next."

"Leave it to me. For the restoration of the academy, my beloved fiancé Masatoshi-san has promised to invest his assets. It's a joint venture before marriage."

"After the restoration?"

My elder brother's eyes shine with a gloomy light as he listens to my statement.

"Of course, after the restoration, Masatoshi-san will become the chairman... Oh, but isn't the Duke's heir, Masatoshi-san, too busy to be the chairman?"

Leaning towards Masatoshi-san, who is sitting next to me, I moisten my eyes and look up. Our hands overlap, and I hold Victory-san's warm hand.

"Sh-Shall we?"

"Well, in that case, I'll be the chairman. Masatoshi-san, you're fine with being the vice-chairman, right? A wife supporting her husband... It was a dream. Hehe."

"I leave it to you, Sena-san! I'm at your disposal, with my utmost devotion."

With a melting expression, Masatoshi-san gladly agrees. That's good. Truly, he's my beloved.

"Sena? Masatoshi-san... you're not thinking of snatching up young talents for the future, are you?"

"In the future, Masatoshi-san and my children will aim for a happy academy."

With a bewildered expression, my elder brother asks, so I place my hand on my cheek, feeling embarrassed and shy. It's embarrassing to talk about such future plans.

Now I'm free. The loop has ended, and I want to act as I used to.

The chair flips with a bang, and Masatoshi-san falls with a happy expression. He mutters something like "Child... children..." and collapses.

"Duke Aguni? Please educate Masatoshi-san, your successor well."

"Hahaha. Well, it's not to that extent, Your Majesty."

"I believe in Duke Aguni's motto."

To the hearty laughter of Duke Aguni, my elder brother exhales tiredly. Shaking his head lightly, he tries to regain composure and discuss what comes next.

But suddenly, something is heard. A lively and enjoyable melody is being played.

"What is this? A harmonica?"

"It seems someone stepped on a cat. But from where?"

"In a room with soundproof magic. What's happening?"

The Emperor's meeting room is soundproofed, and soundproofed from the outside; no sounds should be audible. Despite that, everyone is in an uproar because we heard something.

It's not the sound. But the fact that we heard something is the problem. Masatoshi-san quickly stands up, wearing a wary expression, and I also look around the room.

There is no source of the sound. No, it is definitely coming from outside.

What is happening? As anxiety begins to nestle in my heart, the door opens without a knock.

"Your Majesty! Urgent contact from the one we had infiltrated the Yggdrasil cult. Yggdrasil on the isolated island has collapsed. A golden tree larger than the island suddenly appeared at the island's center and grew into the sky. Numerous monsters emerged from the golden tree!"

Captain Gotou, appears with a panicked expression. Slightly out of breath and with a stern face, he reports.

"Furthermore, a large airborne battleship has appeared from Takano Queendom we were monitoring! Queen Takano seems to be preparing for battle. Probably because the isolated island Yggdrasil is within her territory, located in Tokyo."

"W-What the heck! C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-Call Queen Takano for me! Tell her we'll reconsider the contract!"

Unable to endure it any longer, my elder brother shouts in exasperation.

I don't know what happened.

But I have to go to Mii-chan's house. Masatoshi-san, I'm going with you!
