"The enemy is the Lucian Empire. Our goal is to stop the Rusektas Conference.

　As soon as he said that, I had a vague idea of what was going on.

"So the goal of the Lucian Empire is to acquire the Kingdom of Varrival.

'Thank you for your quick understanding as always.

　This reminds me of something I heard from Gran.
　The fourth war of heroes and demons has depleted the power of the Varrival Kingdom, and there is a high possibility that it will be annexed by either the Kingdom of Terraria or the Lucian Empire.

　And recently, the king of the Varrival Kingdom expressed his intention to discuss the future of the country with the leaders of the Terraria Kingdom at the Lucerectus Conference.

　As Gran said, the Luspectus meeting will probably discuss the annexation of the Kingdom of Terraria and the Kingdom of Varrival. In other words, ...... the decision to hold this meeting implies that the Kingdom of Varrival has chosen the Kingdom of Terraria.

　That's why the Lucian Empire is trying to sabotage it.
　Do they simply want to stop the talks, or will stopping the talks be the start of a large-scale terrorist attack? The scale of the operation is unknown, but we know what they're aiming for.

The Luspectus Conference is to discuss the annexation of the Kingdom of Terraria and the Kingdom of Varrival. They're going to interfere with the magic festival to prevent that.

That's probably it. The Builders Academy Magic Festival is a huge event. It attracts not only students, but also national dignitaries and international guests. If we cause a major problem there, there's a good chance the meeting will be canceled. And it's less risky than going after the talks directly.

　Chris is right.

So we're about to destroy the ...... magic festival.

　That was the moment I had a clear reason to fight.

"What's the security situation at the school?

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea. But I don't know the details. ......

"You don't know?

　"I don't know?" I nodded my head at Chris' vague explanation.

"This job is not 'behind the scenes', it's 'in front of the scenes'. Security for the Lucerectus meeting and the magic competition festival......To put it bluntly, the Bureau is like an outsider when it comes to this, so I've only been given the bare minimum of information. I'm sorry, but you can't expect any support from me.

"...... understood.

　The delay in dealing with the intruder was not Chris's fault, it seemed. The military or the Knights must be in charge of guarding the area around the school.

　We're talking about this because the "front" organizations like the army and the knights aren't helping, but ...... there might be some reason for that.

　The royal army is not stupid.
　It's not just that they have failed to catch the enemy.

I'm sure the student council was involved in the security of the school.

The student council?

Yes. As usual, ......, but the last time it was cancelled due to the demon war, so it was a long time ago, but if it's the same trend as then, the student council is responsible for the security of the school.

"The student council is just the students. Do they have that much power?

They're that good and deserve to be trusted. That's how good and trustworthy the student council of Builders Academy is.

　Chris explained.

"The leader of the Kingsguard, Eustis-Akline, and the second-in-command, Bremen-Evans, were both on the student council of Builders Academy. The princess Sophia would have joined the student council if the war hadn't started, and so would the hero Theon. Builders' Academy is a place where children who will be the future of the kingdom attend, and the student council is the first and foremost. They are guaranteed to become the leaders of this country in the near future, so the upper management has no qualms about appointing them.

　This explanation convinced me, "I see.

I'm acquainted with the student council, but we don't get along well enough to talk about complicated matters, so it's difficult to cooperate with them. For the time being, I'll help you by handling the Imperial agents.

"All right. I don't want to overlook the problem, even though we have different jurisdictions. There's not much I can do, but I can at least provide you with information.

　You have a good boss, you think to yourself.

It would be troublesome if the people in the ...... "front" knew who you were.

　Chris muttered to himself.

I'm not sure what to do. And it's hard to fake it when you're fighting in a school. Hmmm, ...... would it be quicker to give you the title of knight?

I'm not. I want to remain a student for a while longer.

　With the power of the bureau, that would be easy, but I'll pass.

No need to fake it.

"What?

　"No need for forgeries. That's when I'm acting undercover.
　I saw someone suspicious. I saw a suspicious looking man fighting with someone. ...... If left unchecked, such information might lead the astute to the existence of a bureau or agency. If it's someone from the kingdom, that's fine, but if it's an outsider ......, especially an agent from another country, it could be troublesome.

　Then...

"This time I will act as a student. I won't use any of my skills from the agency, and I won't use BF28. Then there won't be any suspicion.

　Tell Chris of our intentions.

"The intruder is at the school to begin with. It's only natural that the students at the school would be aware of it and want to deal with it.

"That's ...... true, but is it possible?



"Oh. I've got the skills for it.

　"Yeah, I've got the technique for that," I say, remembering what Professor Sylphia taught me.

I've been wanting to try it out in the field before the competition starts. Just in time.

"...... I'm sure you'll be fine, but don't let your guard down.

I know.

　As soon as I answered that, a suspicious shadow passed over my vision.

I'm going into action. I'll call you if anything happens.

Yeah. Be careful.

　I listened to Chris's words, which were a little softer than before, and pursued the Imperial agent.
