Chapter 522
After having dinner with his siblings, Heinrich was returning to the Temple garrison.
Night had fallen.
On his way back, Heinrich was mulling over the words he had heard from his elder sister.
Although she had invited him for a meal, they ended up discussing more than just food.
"I don't agree with Alphonse's belief that the Empire is only pushing you into dangerous missions, but it's true they are overworking you."
"Considering the circumstances, there's not much we can do. Ho...

The sudden appearance of a kitten.
However, except for Adriana, the cat didn't seem to be interested in anyone else. It now appeared to take quite a liking to Ellen.
"Seems like it likes Ellen."
Adelia, who had been watching Ellen and the cat, quietly said.
"It hasn't eaten anything today. Maybe it'll eat if Ellen gives it something?"
At Kono Lint's words, Ellen turned towards him. As she did, there was a slightly warmed plate of milk ...

Of course, only those of confirmed status and carefully chosen individuals are entrusted with this role. The individual strength of each Royal Class student is important, but the famous hero, Ellen Artorius, resides here as well.

The path had been cleared.
The allied forces would soon detect the involvement of an unknown power, but not just yet.
And if the path was cleared too soon, other monsters would undoubtedly take their place.
Therefore, our troops have some time to spare until the allied forces commence their next advance.
I need to check the situation at the allied base.
Heinrich von Schwarz is to be assassinated.
However, the exact timing is unknown.

Monsters come in all shapes and sizes.
Some have symmetrical structures, like proper living creatures, while others have appearances so bizarre that they are difficult to describe with words.
There are those that must eat to survive and those that can live without sustenance.
Some can withstand the cold, while others can survive extreme heat.
There are monsters with exceptional resistance to magic, rendering them immune to it, and those that are impervious to most weapons.

Dettomorian stared quietly at the storage room door from which the three visitors had vanished.
'The ritual has already been performed.'
He knew that the long-held offering had already reached something, and that it had come to fruition.
It was a ceremony held in the hope of peace.
However, Dettomorian could not be certain whether the ritual had truly reached a power capable of bringing about peace.
And even if the outcome leads to peace, the process could not be peaceful.

In that case, the only option left was magic.

Ellen pleaded with Turner and Bertus to kill her after the resolution of the Gate Incident.
"There's no way we can do that."
"There must be another way, Ellen."
Naturally, neither Turner nor Bertus had any intention of fulfilling such a request from Ellen.
It wasn't because Ellen was humanity's hope, or because she needed to remain as a symbol of hope for the rebuilding of humanity after the Gate Incident.
It was because they didn't believe Ellen had to die in such a manner.

Liana sat hunched on the beach, her head bowed and silent.

"It doesn't seem like a coincidence, does it?"
"...No, it doesn't."
Dark storm clouds had gathered in the sky that had been crystal clear just moments ago, and thunder echoed from within the clouds.
If there was anyone who could kill Liana with words in Edina right now, it would be me.
It's all your fault.
At that single sentence, Liana stared vacantly at the sand on the beach with empty eyes.
