We sent a message back to the capital.
We wrote about our victory, taking the hostage, and the possible truce.
It's been proven after the fact that there is no force left which can make all out war on Shirone now.
If Pax doesn't act like a total moron, I won't complain.
Well, we haven't received a reply yet, so I feel a bit uneasy.
Everyone inside the fort is wildly enthusiastic about the battle.
To them Roxy and my magic was amazing, Zanoba, who cut through the enemy was also amazing.
This place has been filled with relaxed excitement.
Thanks to my part in the success of the battle, or perhaps because I captured the assailant, the soldiers of the fort have softened towards me.
Even so, the excessive courtesy they had shown me is still there.
But I think their facial expressions aren't as stiff.
They have started to smile at me recently and when they come to talk they do it with a bright expression.
The magician who they didn't know may have become a fellow soldier to them.
At least there wasn't a single man that came to blame me for the death of those who were caught in my saint ranked magic.
Thanks to things like the attitude of the men,
the day to day counseling with Roxy,
and my concern for Zanoba, my mental state was recovered.
I am able to believe that I did not make a mistake; my actions were not at fault.
It's better to not focus on the past's troubles.
Here in this world I am a subordinate of Orsted.
In order to protect my family I have made an enemy of a god.
A time like this was bound to come some day; I should have prepared.
It's a fragile calm but this is the path I've chosen.
However, in the future, I probably won't participate in war even if I'm begged.
In this other world, how should I say it... It's another universe.
At the same time, perhaps I'll have to kill again.
It is tiring if I dwell on each person one by one.
If I can avoid killing, then that's what I'll do. This is my decision.
It won't pay to worry for days about each person I may have to kill, it would just cause unnecessary mental damage.
Well, let's reorder my thoughts.
Even though I have been wary these last ten days, nothing has happened.
Both my mental state and my magic have made a full recovery.
I'm in perfect condition.
The Magic Armor MK-I is still setup and I remain vigilant.
I am in a better position now than at the audience with Pax; the Death God should have attacked then if he was going to.
After all, Hitogami may have had nothing to do with this affair.
It must be as Orsted said.
This event originally happened but was not recorded in the diary.
Even without me Zanoba must have somehow handled this.
Perhaps he wasn't even summoned.
This may have been a waste of time.
However that isn't something I should say.
There is still a possibility that Zanoba could have died this time.
Regardless, the war is over.
There is no longer an enemy country arrayed against the Shirone kingdom.
Zanoba should also be satisfied.
I should be able to persuaded him to come home to Sharia now.
Thinking of him staying close to Pax is repugnant.
