While Kannazuki Karen and the others were being protected by Louise, Flora Redrant, Rachel Madan, and Irene Prime, the former F-Class members of the Barbador Magic Academy, were visiting the Forest of Sealed Magic in the Valsha Empire.

Well, arent we there yet~?

Even if you say so~ Theres nothing I can do about it~

Thats right, but~! Hey, Irene, are you sure were in the right place!?

In response to Floras words, Irene replied without changing her complexion.

Of course. In this perfect and beautiful me, there can be no mistakes.

Apart from perfection, beauty doesnt matter, right

Are you an idiot?

Terrible!

Although they were moving through the forest that each of them isnt used to, since the three were trained to some extent, they still had enough room for such exchanges.

Rachel, who had been smiling bitterly at the interaction between the two, looked around the forest again.

Even so there is such a place heh~. I never thought I couldnt use magic in here ~

Thats right. I was wondering why Helen couldnt use magic when she was originally so strong, but considering this location, it may have been largely due to the environment.

While Flora followed Rachels words and looked around, Irene was the only one who kept a cool face.

Surely, we cant use magic in here, but that doesnt matter much to us.

Eeh? Why?

Since I couldnt use magic until I met Seiichi-sensei. It doesnt matter if I cant currently use it.

No, perhaps thats the case, but look, you dont want to end up not being able to use it after all the work youve put into it, right?

Now that we know how useful magic can be, Im sure well have trouble without it on a regular basis, but at the present time, this environment should be convenient for us. Our pursuers are probably just as incapable of using magic as we are.

Ah, I see! Were used to having no magic, but thats not the case over that side, right!

Flora looks convinced by Irenes words.

And then, Rachel looked back behind them, looking a little anxious.

Bu,but~ will we be able to escape properly~?

I cant say anything about that. I am advancing while exploring the surroundings with my skills, but the other party will probably assume that much

Yes, Irene and her company were being chased by a group of people.

Originally, the three of them had to return to their hometown when the Barbador Magic Academy was sealed off by the Kaizer Empire, but their homeland had already been occupied by the Kaizer Empire, and it was apparent that they would be oppressed.

If they were civilians without powers, they might still have had other options, but since the three of them have some fighting skills, in addition, due to them having good looks, there was a high possibility that they would be taken directly to the Kaizer Empire, and do whatever they pleased with them.

Irene had anticipated this, and on her way back to her hometown, she met up with Flora and the others, and from the various information theyve received, theyve learned of the existence of the Valsha Empire and the Kingdom of Welmburg, which have not yet fallen into the hands of the Kaizer Empire, so they decided to go to the Valsha Empire, the closest place to their current location and Helens birthplace.

However, while Irene and her company were returning to their hometowns from the Barbador Magic Academy, they were in a state of being under actual surveillance under the guise of being safely delivered by the Kaizer Empire, so they escaped the surveillance and moved on, and as a result, the soldiers from the Kaizer Empire noticed them and chased after them.

What will happen if they find us?

Of course, they would take us. I can also assume that they would make us to be in an unmovable state so that we cant escape next time.

Uhee I dont like that.

Youre taking it easy, but its a pretty dangerous situation, you know? This is how they would gather together beautiful girls, including myself. Its very likely that the mens carnal desires would be directed at us.

While complimenting your appearance in a casual manner, please dont say scary things

At Irenes words, Flora had an indescribable expression on her face.

Well, I understand our current situation, but are the two of you okay with your family and stuff? Im originally an orphan, so it doesnt matter to me, but~

My family is the kind of house that runs a dojo, so~ Im sure theyll be fine if something happens to them~

Come to think of it, for someone so fluffy, Rachel was quite in the martial artist group

I have no problem with mine. Theyre my parents, so theyll be able to read my thoughts well and move perfectly.

After all, they are Irenes parents, so theyre similar, heh

Speaking of which, will they be able to hide us when we escape to the Valsha Empire~?

Ah, by the way Helen is our friend, but we dont know if we can get protection from her country, right?

Irene nodded at Rachel and Floras comments.

Thats true. However, we dont have a choice anyway. If that doesnt work, well have to go to the Kingdom of Welmburg, but the Kaizer Empire will be looking out on us at the border, so it should be difficult.

Well, theres no point in thinking about it here, well just have to go for the time being.

It was at that moment when Flora said so while sighing.

Please stop!

Unlike her usual fluffy atmosphere, Rachel raised a sharp voice of restraint.

When both Flora and Irene immediately raised their weapons at that sight, several men emerged from the forest.

Oops, I tried to get close enough not to be spotted, but you noticed it well, dont you?

We were beaten ahead huh

Emerging from the bushes of the forest, were the soldiers of the Kaizer Empire.

Each of the soldiers had their weapons ready, and had a vulgar smile on their faces.

Too bad, huh? If you had been a little quicker, you might have escaped from us, but this is the end.

When one of the soldiers told them, the other soldiers circled not only in the direction Irene and the others were moving, but also behind them, blocking their escape.

Irene and her friends held their weapons and was looking for an opening, but there was a big difference in experience between Irene and the others, who were originally just students, and the soldiers of the Kaizer Empire, and it was very unlikely that they could escape.

Theres no use in trying to escape, alright? Even if it was just an attempt, youve outsmarted us. Now that weve caught up with you here, were not going to let you imitate that escape

Its good, that expression that face makes me want to violate you

Another soldier opened his mouth as his smile deepened.

Captain~. Why dont we enjoy them first? I dont know when theyll come around if we take them anyway.

Thats right! Isnt it okay to have that much side benefit? Its not every day you get to see pretty women like this.

Hehe thats also true. Then, why dont we just catch them quickly, and enjoy ourselves?

The Kaizer Empire is gradually narrowing its siege.

In this state, Irene and the others were trying to break through the situation while stiffening their bodies it was at that moment.

Haaaaaahh!

Wha!? From where Gyaaaahh!

From behind the soldiers of the Kaizer Empire, another group of soldiers emerged and launched an attack straight away.

The Kaizer Empires side panicked due to the sudden attack, and Irene and the others were taken aback, but they immediately returned to their senses.

Flora, Rachel!

Ye,yeah!

Yes~!

The three of them readied their weapons and charged at the nearby soldiers, trying to get out of the siege.

Shit! Youre just little brats, dont get carried away!

Hah!

Irene swiftly swung the scythe in her hand, and dealt with the soldiers attacks.

I also wont lose!

Me either!

Following Irenes lead, Flora and Rachel were also dealing with the oncoming soldiers of the Kaizer Empire, and the Kaizer Empire came even closer, determined not to let them escape.

Youre not getting awayyyyy!

Irene!?

The Kaizer Empire soldier attacked from Irenes blind spot, who was dealing with another soldier, so Irene was slow to react and could not defend herself in time.

Flora and others immediately tried to prevent the attack, but they would be unlikely to prevent it being in front of the other Kaizer Empire soldiers.

Just before the sword of the Kaizer Empire soldier touched Irene, something sharp flew from another location, preventing the attack on Irene.

Wha!?

Dont you dare mess with my acquaintances!

The attack was made by Helen, the very woman Irene and the others were on their way to meet.

Helen stood as if to cover up Irene and the others, and faced the soldiers of the Kaizer Empire surrounding them.

Helen! No matter how strong Helen is, going against a soldier is!

Flora had a lot of questions about why she was here, but she was more concerned about Helens actions.

The three of them here were well aware of Helens strength, but still, they didnt think that she could take on a professional soldier as the opponent.

However

Its alright

Eh?

From there, it was one-sided.

Helen quickly swung the daggers she held in both hands, and cut down the soldiers of the Kaizer Empire one after another.

Moreover, the soldiers of the Kaizer Empire were unable to catch up with Helens movement, and were literally defeated at their wits end.

A,amazing!

That power, how did you get it

The three of them forget to run away, and admire the growth of their classmate.

Then, as it was, Helen deafeated all the nearby soldiers of the Kaizer Empire, and then, the other group of attackers also finished off all the remaining soldiers.

There, the three of them realized that the attackers were the soldiers of the Valsha Empire, and that they had truly been saved.

The three of them sat there, finally able to catch their breath as the soldiers of the Kaizer Empire were defeated.

We,were saveeed!

I was wondering what would happen ~

Helen, who had instructed the soldiers of the Valsha Empire to tie up the defeated soldiers of the Kaizer Empire, approached the three of them once again.

Hey, why are you guys here?

Helen. Its to see you.

Eh, to see me?

To Helens surprise, Irene began to talk quietly about what they had been through.

I see. You came here to escape from the Kaizer Empire, is it

After listening to all of her explanations, Helen let out a sigh of astonishment.

I understand your reason, but no matter how I put it, its absurd. What were you going to do if I hadnt shown up?

I also guess that it couldnt be helped. But, if we got closer to the Valsha Empire, as we fought the soldiers of the Kaizer Empire, I had predicted that the Valsha Empire would at least send out a reconnaissance team to detect that anomaly. I really wish we could have gotten here before they found us, but weve come this far so that we could get at least as close to the Valsha Empire as possible. The result was a success.

Helen looked more and more amazed when Irene told her so with a cool face.

Good grief you, really dont change.

Of course. Besides, if we hadnt escaped from the Kaizer Empire, we would have been in a terrible situation anyway. I am proud of this perfect beauty. Its already a horrible act for me to speak of myself ! (TN: LOL)

Really, you havent changed.

In the face of Irenes absolute confidence in herself as usual, Helens face pulled back.

Then, Flora asks with excitement.

Oh, yeah! Was Helen that strong!? Ah, of course, I know youve been strong since you were at the academy, but its not more than that time!?

Thats right, isnt it~ in addition, the soldiers of the Valsha Empire also treat Helen-chan with reverence~.

Ah You know where Im from, but you dont know what my position is. I know its not something I should be talking about, but, I, am a princess of this country.

Eh?

Well, Im the second princess, though.

I see thats why the attitude of the soldiers is so polite towards you.

Flora and Rachel were surprised by Helens confession, but Irene was the only one who nodded calmly.

Nonono! Why is Irene so calm!? I thought that Blued was the only royalty in our class!

Well, like Blued, I have a commoners blood flowing in me, and I gave myself a different surname, so it was natural that you dont know it. And, as for what made me so strong: well, its all thanks to Seiichi-sensei.

Eh, Seiichi-sensei!?

The three of them widened their eyes at the name of someone they hadnt expected.

Yes. This country, is now free from the threat of the Kaizer Empire, but not long ago, this country was in danger. That was due to the state of war with the Kaizer Empire. In order to deal with it, I tried to gain strength by following Seiichi-sensei, but as a result of that, I joined the ranks of the Transcendents, and before I could use my power for the country, Seiichi-sensei directly ended the war

Sensei is absurd!?

As expected of Seiichi-sensei. Hes as perfect as I am.

No, it isnt in the dimension of perfection anymore, you know!?

Its usually unbelievable for one person alone to end a war, right~

Rachel could only smile bitterly at Floras surprise.

Thats because it wasnt something they would have normally believed, but just because the fact that Seiichi is the central character of the story here already changes the story a lot.

Helen let out a sigh again and smiled kindly.

Nevertheless Im glad that I was able to use my powers to help you guys.

Helen!

So, youve fled to this country, but are your families okay with that?

The three of us are fine on that front.

Yes. Well, the safest place would be in Seiichi-senseis place, but this country has become stronger as well, so please dont worry. I will protect all three of you.

At Helens words, Irene and the others looked at each other and took a breather.

But the next moment, Helen grinned.

However, I cant just give you free protection Im going to have you work properly, alright?

Uh.. ye~s

If its that much, then it cant be helped~

Leave it to me. Im sure I can do any job flawlessly. This perfect beautiful girl me!

In this way, Irene and her friends were safely protected by the Valsha Empire.
