Chapter 83.2

Editor: Lord Immortal

“Only the people present in the throne room just then know the details, so their praise won’t bring us any trouble . ” (August)

He was right . Only those who were in the ruling elite knew the details of the war .

Besides, if the public became aware of the details, there might be a totally different version of the war .

Even so, I wouldn’t believe it until I knew what the public thought of the war, so I decided to ascertain the current situation on the streets .

I was the only one who could use the Optical Camouflage Magic without a cloak . If we went there together, we would get lost, because we wouldn’t be able to see each other’s figure .

I discovered everyone on the street was warmly talking about the battle between my grandparents and the devils as well as us eliminating the devils .

There was a banner saying  ‘Souvenirs of Ultimate Magicians Who Have Subjugated the Devils,’ hanging above each store’s door . There was also a hullabaloo in the chamber as I was the president of Walford Chamber of Commerce .

The exchange sword and the jet boots sold especially well .

The operational situation of the previous days was reported in Earls.h.i.+de with the communication device .

Putting aside the exchange sword for the time being, the wide use of jet boots was indeed a good thing .

When the war ended, the jet boots might be used for recreation .

I then went back home, but failed to get near my house .

The road to my house was crowded with people .  

It had caused a lot of trouble to my neighbors .

Some policemen were redirecting the traffic,trying to disperse the people standing in front of the door and stop them from entering my house .

I watched Alex and other policemen dealing with the people from afar .

I felt sorry, yet I had no choice but to rely on them to solve the problem .

I went to the street later before going to Mark’s and Olivia’s stores to find out how others thought of us, but n.o.body blamed us .

Raher, everyone praised our subjugation of the devils .

What the public a.s.sumed was that the devils weren’t set loose by us, instead, they had somehow detected the attack beforehand and escaped . However, grandpa and others found out and crushed them .

The public believed that it was because grandpa was a guru that he detected the devils’ attack beforehand .

Although they didn’t know the reason clearly, they thought it was quite normal for a  guru to sense the approaching devils .

The wors.h.i.+p for heroes had gone too far in Earls.h.i.+de . The public believed that grandpa could handle any difficulty .

However, our mistakes in the war, for example, someone’s rash action before the war, our failure to notice that and release of the devils, and the blunders in chasing  the devils, were not spread to the public .

The government intentionally told the public about the war in such a way to avoid  upsetting them and to rea.s.sure them .

However, what the public heard about the war was neither a fact nor a lie .

The results were as the government had expected .

Was this the so-called information manipulation?

After gathering  information, I opened the gate in a quiet alley and returned to August’s room .

“Brother s.h.i.+n, welcome back!” (May)

May, in August’s room, warmly welcomed me .

“I haven’t seen you for a long time, May!” (s.h.i.+n)

“Yes!” (May)

May greeted me with a smile .

As May’s brother, I couldn’t bend my knees when she embraced me, even if her body was strengthened by the magic .

“It’s good to see you, s.h.i.+n . ” (Elly)

“Long time no see, Elly . ” (s.h.i.+n)

Elly was August’s fiancée . I responded to her greeting while being embraced by May .

“How do matters stand? Are there any problems?” (August)

“No one blames us, but we can’t say there aren’t any problems . ” (s.h.i.+n)

“Why?” (August)
