Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

Sandra took a breath and greeted everyone with a voice as clear, pleasant, resolute and awe-inspiring as a silver bell.

"I am the ruler of the North District, Sandra Teldorek, who was introduced to me earlier. The Fire Dragon Birth Festival, a festival jointly held by the East District and the North District, has also been successfully completed halfway through today..."

The other party's speech was a fairly conventional leadership speech, but because it was a pleasant girl's voice, it didn't make people feel bored.

Fujimaru Ritsuka feels this way, but...

"They actually let their eleven-year-old youngest daughter inherit the community and the hierarchy. Is she really capable of such a great task?"

"No way. Although the second son, Lord Mandela, has the ability to rule the community, his qualifications are..."

"Alas, it would be better if Lady Sarah hadn't left."

"That traitor, why are you still mentioning her!"

"Anyway, with Lord Mandela helping us, there shouldn't be any big problems, right?..."

……

Such discussions would occasionally reach Fujimaru Ritsuka's ears, and from the conversation, it was clear that everyone was generally not optimistic about the young new leader on the stage.

Not only that, there seem to be other situations involved in the issue of succession.

And in this situation, another demon king is about to attack...

"...I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to everyone in the East District Community and the North District Community who cooperated in the event. As for the future games, please refer to the invitation letter at hand--"

【Thousand Eyes】Seal

Salamandra Seal

After this, the grand ceremony came to an end, and Fujimaru Ritsuka and Kasukabe Yō left in an orderly manner along with the others.

At this time, the sun began to set, and the shadow of the huge boundary wall gradually enveloped the town.

Seeing this, the two gave up their plan to look for Hisamoto Asuka and the others, and prepared to return directly to the old branch of Thousand Eyes to wait for the others to return.

However, as soon as the two of them walked out of the game venue, they saw a group of soldiers who were responsible for patrolling and maintaining order coming towards them, and the person being surrounded and guarded by the soldiers was actually someone they knew -

"Izayoi, Asuka, and Jin?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Kasukabe Yō were both surprised, not understanding how the three of them had suddenly become prisoners in less than a day.

"Haha, what a coincidence!"

Although she became a criminal, Izayoi Sakamaki didn't seem to care at all. She asked them with a smile:

"How's the game going over there?"

"I successfully qualified for the finals."

"Not bad, although it's hard to imagine you losing."

Seeing the two sides happily chatting without restraint, the captain of the soldiers shouted in dissatisfaction:

"Hey, don't communicate casually!"

This scolding interrupted their conversation and made Fujimaru Ritsuka return her attention to the current situation. Just as she was about to ask for details, another curious question came from behind them:

"——What's going on?"

"Master Shiroyasha!"

The captain nodded respectfully to Baiyasha, who smiled and nodded in response. Then he looked at Izayoi Sakamaki and the others and asked with amusement:

"What did these three people do wrong?"

"A street in the exhibition was damaged. There were only three of them at the scene. We suspect that they are the perpetrators, so we have temporarily detained them and are about to hand them over to Lady Sandra for the final decision."

"Oh?"

Bai Yasha raised his eyebrows in surprise. Upon hearing this, Jiuyuan Fei Niao said dissatisfiedly:

"We are the perpetrators? Ridiculous, we were just defending and counterattacking after being attacked, right?"

"You guys who were there to maintain order didn't fulfill your responsibilities, and instead framed us, the victims. Is this how you treat your guests in the North District?"

"you……"

"That's right!"

Ren echoed loudly, and then explained to Baiyasha:

"Master Shiroyasha, we were suddenly attacked by unknown persons at the exhibition. When Mr. Izayoi fought back, he accidentally caused some damage to the surrounding streets, that's all."

“Others who were also at the exhibition at the time can vouch for us!”

"Is that so? Unidentified person..."

Ren's words were so convincing that Baiyasha tapped his chin with the folding fan in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Realizing that several people seemed to be familiar with Bai Yasha, the captain's expression suddenly became a little nervous. Seeing this, Bai Yasha smiled and said:

"Although there were some oversights, you have done a good job by fulfilling your duties. Next, follow the original plan and take them to your leader to explain the situation."

Then, she looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Kasukabe Akira and said:

"You all happen to be here too, so come along."

……

...

"Is everyone okay—?!"

They followed Shiroyasha to the base of the community [Salamandra], and not long after, in the audience room of the operations headquarters, Black Rabbit and Leticia, who had received the notice, also hurried over. Seeing that everyone was fine, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side, the new leader Sandra, whom Fujimaru Ritsuka had met at the game venue before, and another man with sharp eyes who seemed to be her confidant were confirming details from another team of soldiers who had returned from investigating the scene.

From the way the soldiers addressed each other, we learned that the man was the old chief's second son, Mandela, Sandra's brother.

After confirming that the situation was indeed as Jin and the others said, Sandra, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the important task of [No Name] and said with an apologetic smile:

"Thank you very much for coming to participate in the [Fire Dragon Birth Festival] this time. I am also very sorry that this situation has occurred. We will give you appropriate compensation. We will also investigate the attacker and arrest him as soon as possible."

Hearing her say this, Mandela behind her seemed very unhappy.

In his opinion, Sandra, as the leader, actually apologized to an unknown community in such a humble manner, which might be an act that undermined the dignity of the community.

But since such a problem has occurred, as the organizers they cannot escape responsibility, so even someone as arrogant as him cannot say much.

Ren smiled and waved his hands sheepishly.

"It doesn't matter, as long as we can find out the truth."

He also gave a detailed account of the attacker's situation.

But unfortunately, even though they were the first to be hit, they never saw the attacker. They only knew that the other party was probably controlling the rats through the sound of the flute and launching the attack on them.

"Flute sound... rat swarm..."

Bai Yasha hesitated for a moment, but had no clues for a while. Then she glanced at the soldiers around her and said with a smile:

"Since everyone is here, let's continue our unfinished conversation during the day."
