Wha-
Welcome home, Master!
W-What the...
I didn't see anything in infrared!
Sorry, but we used Dorock magic to lower our body temperature.
W-What did she say?
Eliminate them!
As we suspected, you came to dispose of Shinichi.
But you had no idea...
...that my personal maids are an elite unit.
I can't believe they really came to assassinate you, Master.
I could have been in their position...

You'll surely tell me with gentle words the answer I've been looking for
12. Destroy the Invader
I am really at a loss as to what to say.
Regardless, something unthinkable has happened,
and for that I truly apologise.
Instead of apologies, I want explanations.
I have to make an important decision based on what you tell me.
Let me humbly inform, Your Majesty,
that it was caused by arbitrary actions carried out by a radical group.
Meaning...?
I'm sure you believe that we were removing him for working against national interests,
but actually this was a surprise for us, too.
We will perform an internal inquiry to uncover the details,
and strive to prevent such situations from happening again.
Please, I ask for your forgiveness.
Kanou-kun, I ask the same of you.
I am truly sorry.
We've already forced the perpetrators back to Japan.
I'm sure this will be dealt with swiftly.
I ask for your lenience.
The Japanese government wishes that their friendship with the Empire of Erdant continues to deepen.
It's doubtful they'll try anything now...
...and they think we're that stupid.
The fact that you're a hindrance to the Japanese government doesn't change.
That said, they can't do anything rash.
If they touch him again, all diplomatic ties will be severed.
Do you think that everyone believes your apology?
Some do, some don't.
But there will be no further incidents, right?
Of course, never ever again.
After that, my days were peaceful.
Why is
Comptiqle's
October issue
super rare?
Today I will teach you why the October issue of Comptiqle is super rare.
They truly were peaceful.
Since the days were peaceful,
the Imperial Guard...
It's about time for you to come back.
...was recalled.
Are those new teaching materials?
The contents of the deliveries are so accurate these days that it's scary.
This magazine is really difficult to get hold of.

Well then,
I can't go home with you today, so be careful.
Ah, that monthly thing?
Yeah.
There isn't much to report, though.
This is pretty boring.
Predictable is good.
I guess.
What was that?
A report!
The north wall has been attacked!
What?
A Bahairam banner has been found there!
What?
What method of attack?
By means of destructive flame!
What?
Gallius, could it be the flame weapon from the Beidner incident?
It hasn't been recovered.
They were supposed to have disbanded, though.
Bring me the owl!
The outer wall of the castle was breached?!
Is everything okay over there?
Yes.
Ah, there's smoke!
From where?
That is...
From the direction of the school!
What?!
Be careful.
The Japanese government may be involved.
Wait there.
I will send forces immediately-
A report!
From the central plaza this time!
What did you say?!
Your Majesty...
Master?!
Don't go!
I'll have to hurry...
Over there is...
...the October edition of Comptiqle!
I won't give that up!
What's wrong, Myuser?
Help me out, you two!
Huh?
Yes?
Is that so?
So the hawks have flown.
It's unfortunate,
but further incidents are inevitable now.
You guys!
You were supposed to come to my room.
You'd be better off not doing anything unnecessary.
You have no relatives, just like him,
so even if you disappeared, nobody would care.
That magazine isn't in print any more!
It's a precious thing!
Master!
Just in case, I brought a weapon with me.
It seems that the fire hasn't reached the library yet.
October issue!
Thank god!
October... issue...
Don't think badly of us.
We do this for Japan.

Where is he?
Probably in the library on the second floor.
We can't get through here.
Are you all right?
Yeah.
This way!
It looks like the fire isn't as intense around here.
What's on the other side of this wall?
A hallway.
All right.
Keep your distance.
Okay, let's go.
Brook-san, please wait near the library.
That's right, you can't handle heat.
What are you doing here?
Now!
Yes!
Wait!
Master!
I won't let you die!
Definitely!
Master, you're the person Erdant needs!
Master!
Master, Master!
Everyone, remain vigilant!
Take care of Shinichi...
...everyone.
Master...
Master!
Open your eyes!
Smile like you always do!
You gave me the spark of confidence, Master. A half-elf who used to always be so hesitant.
When I look back on what has happened,
your kindness was always right there, Master.
I don't...
I don't want that to go away!
Master!
Magical power is decreasing.
Again?
Master...
Master!
Minori-sama!
I came here because I'm stupid.
I'll accompany you...
...wherever you go.
To the school.
To Akiba.
And even to heaven.
Master!
Myuser...
I'm glad!
You all saved me, didn't you?
The doorway blocked!
Elbia, break the window!
Leave it to me!
I have a technique I've been wanting to try.
Are you okay?
Let's see...
Tongbeiquan...
There!
Use that when you're fighting!
We jumped out through the window Elbia-san broke,
and Brook-san, who was waiting below, caught us.
I see.
The school burnt down, didn't it?
That's right.
Now you've done it, Koganuma-kun.
Thanks to you, everything is over.
If knowledge of this spreads,
Erdant will probably cut all diplomatic ties.
No way!
That would mean that Master... won't...
It's not over yet, Myuser.
Huh?
I won't let them do that.
Matoba-san.
Hm?
Let me talk to your superiors.
Tell them that I'm eager to continue Amutec's operations.
Hm...
So communication actually was available...
Please, go ahead.
Afternoon.
I am Kanou Shinichi, who has been entrusted with Amutec.
Well, at present, my position is "under question".
You seem to be aware of that.
In that case I can be blunt.
Your reckless conduct is a cause for concern to us.
We simply ask of you to accept repatriation peacefully.
Peacefully, huh?
Politicians really are deliberate with their turns of phrase.
I hear that you're eager to remain in your role as manager,
but we have suspicions that your mind is not sound due to an inability to acclimatise yourself there.
Return to Japan at once, and accept treatment and care from a specialist doctor.
And on the way to the hospital some "unforeseen" accident could happen, right?
Suspicious to the bitter end, huh?
I'm a coward, after all.
Fine.
It just shows that you clearly understand the position you're in.
Thanks.
If you want to continue as the manager, we don't mind forgiving you.
However, reflect on your past words and actions, and strive to correct them.
You crumble once your actions have been uncovered.
You really are a government official.
What?
We can dispose of you any time we want to using similar methods.
If you overstep your role, you will be the one to lose.
There you have it.
Finally you reveal your true intentions.
The high officials of the Japanese government are no different from the evil governor in a historical play.
W-Who is it?!
Who do you think it is?
Matoba-kun?!
It is Her Majesty the Empress Petrarca Ann Erdant III of the Holy Erdant Empire.
Don't lie!
That Japanese is almost as fluent as a native's!
I am terribly sorry about this.
I neglected to include it in the reports,
but Her Majesty's Japanese is already past that of high school level.
What?! Neglected to include?!
For many reasons, I had Her Majesty listen to our discussion.
M-Matoba-kun!
I'm truly sorry.
W-What's this?
I think you heard it from Matoba-dono.
I am the Empress of the Holy Empire of Erdant.
Y-Your Majesty, I'm humbled to be able to be talk with you directly.
Leave your tiresome greetings aside.
I'll get right to the point.
What happened to Shinichi this time was due to the actions of Bahairam,
but if something were to happen such that Shinichi disappears from Erdant,
I will immediately cut all diplomatic relations.
K-
Kanou Shinichi-kun is truly an excellent manager.
There is not the slightest reason to have him return from the Empire of Erdant.
There you have it.
I hope we can start again soon.
Yeah.
Master, may I ask something?
Huh?
When you offered her majesty a proposal,
were you prepared for all this?
To the extent of putting your life at risk?
Well, at the very worst.
Weren't you scared?
"Not at all"...
would be cool to say,
but in reality I was numb with fear.
So, why?
Because I'm in love.
I love Japanese anime, manga and games.
I couldn't stand the actions of my government.
Ah...
You have no regrets?
I don't.
After all...
I...
You know, I...
Myuser, I-
Shinichi-sama!
Looks like it's time to go to the castle!
Yeah, I'm coming.
Huh?
Matoba-san?
Weren't you demoted?
Don't say that, it'd be bad for my reputation.
I only returned to Japan to file a detailed report of the circumstances.
When those two are next to you,
you look just like a middle-aged man who was dragged into a maid café.
These girls are observing me.
They don't do anything nice for me.
So, here is the proposal from the Japanese government.
Okay.
They have decided that they cannot ignore the great profit potential that Japan could yield from your activities.
So I can safely keep on working for now?
The hard-line prime minister could change his mind at any time,
but the government of an entire nation has made exceptional compromises for the sake of one person.
Of course, you can reject the proposal,
but if you did, the budget request won't pass,
and we wouldn't import new anime, manga and games.
So that's how it is, huh?
Tightening the budget and holding the reins are the basics of governing.
Sheesh.
By the way, Kanou-kun.
Yes?
Did you gamble that I hadn't reported about Her Majesty's Japanese skills?
I thought you'd keep some kind of trump card.
Matoba-san, I knew that you'd rather defend us with calculated actions than let us all fail.
You really are a hikikomori that can't be made light of.
You're here, Shinichi!
I'm truly thankful for what you did this time.
You show great respect to say that here.
You are the only one I permit to call me by my name, remember?
That's true, but still...
I see!
That serves as a warning for Matoba-san.
She intentionally stresses how much she likes me,
to insinuate how angry she would be if anything happens to me.
Even though she looks like a little girl, you can't treat her lightly!
I'll have to play along with her.
Well, Petrarca,
let's read a lot of manga later, just the two of us.
Eh?!
Some time later, the school reopened.
The students were as usual.
Why did
Sphinx's
wasabee lose?
Today's subject is why Sphinx's...
A lot has happened,
but still,
I'm going to keep on teaching Japanese culture.
Sensei!
Yes, Romilda-kun?
wasabee
You don't spell "Wasabi" like that!
wasabi
Correct
