Chapter 83 Part1
We started to withdraw from the battleground with the partic.i.p.ating students.
We walked through the 'Gate' and arrived at the capital ahead of other students walking back to their academies.
Part of the Earls.h.i.+de Army was following the students, so they asked us to go back and report to Uncle Dis first.
The soldiers met us in the guardroom.
They told us we were praised because we had subjugated the devils; at the same time, grandpa and grandma had become a hot topic among the public because they had heard their story of subjugating the devils that had approached Earls.h.i.+de.
"Is that OK?" (s.h.i.+n)
"The public seems to be aware that it is us who let go of the devils." (August)
"According to the Guru, the public may blame us for our neglect of duty, what should we do?" (Alice)
Alice's worry was reasonable.
Although we had failed to keep the devils in captivity, we still managed to subjugate them. However, we would be reproached nonetheless. Anyway, we'd better report to Uncle Dis first.
We might be rebuked by him.
Following the soldiers, we felt depressed.
We had talked to Uncle Dis before coming back to Earls.h.i.+de, so we went directly to the throne room.
'Was it OK to meet him in combat suit?'
The worry flashed in my mind, but we had already reached the throne room.
When the door opened
Everyone greeted us with a warm applause.
"You have returned, my heroes!" (Dis)
Uncle Dis arose from his throne and greeted us, beckoning us over.
Following his order, we walked towards the throne.
The applause didn't stop until we reached the throne.
"What's going on?" (s.h.i.+n)
"I don't know either. They won't blame us for our release of the devils?" (August)
We had thought that we would be reprimanded, but to our surprise, we received a big round of applause.
While I was talking with August in a low voice, I felt a little puzzled. We could only a.s.sume that they didn't treat it seriously.
d.a.m.n it. Grandma was to blame, because she had said something like a threat.

But I could only blame her in my mind.
