It has been a month since Pandemoniums April Fools Joke from Hell and its subsequent defeat. After Dantes death, the remaining demons were found and eradicated personally by me. All 666 members are dead, something I verified repeatedly by extracting memories from every member I came across. The Sino faction has been thwarted and dissolved, with China losing its position on the Council of Nine due to its sudden decline in national power. This was in no small part due to me and the girls. After securing Tokyo, we rapidly appeared throughout the country to eliminate the invaders alongside the JSDF and US reinforcements. China was completely crippled as a result. The various small countries were quickly defeated without Chinas support and World War 4 thus lasted for less than a month, although the unrest in Zaire continues.

Nevertheless, casualty estimates put the number of dead in Japan at 2.1 million. This was over a single night. The country was devastated by the death toll, although its recovering thanks to the influx of foreign aid. Casualties from the rest of the Sino factions uprising was estimated to be around 1 million total. This included the decimation of Chinas military during its invasion. Speaking of which, initial Council of Eight investigations have revealed that the ruling party and military of China was completely brainwashed by Pandemonium. They were very thorough, working their way from the Secretary himself down to the lowliest private. It was likely a project they were working on since the beginning of their inception. With the majority of the military dead and the entire political establishment compromised, democratic advocates quickly took control of China.

I did my best to destroy any recorded evidence the onlookers gathered, but they were still a couple of blurry videos on the internet that showed Reijis heroic last stand against the demons and Jumbo. Thankfully/amusingly, everyone is convinced that Reiji is a girl based on those videos. I gave Reiji an illusion artifact just in case someone ever recognized him. At least the fool got our parents out of harms way. I retrieved them before they woke up, and they were none the wiser. Miraculously, I managed to keep everyone from getting exposed as magic users, fantasy species, etc. Only Princess Vivian and King William knew I was involved, and I put a curse of secrecy on them both. So even if they try to reveal my existence, they physically wont be able to. I also removed the knowledge that I was Rin from their minds, finally discovering a better way to alter memories.

Thats not to say the Council of Eight and the rest of the world are not frantically searching for the Magical Girls of Tokyo. Yes, that was the name that stuck, much to Reijis and my dismay and everyone elses amusement. Research has also begun into magic, although I doubt anything will come of it. There have been public outcries for and against magic, a debate which has become extremely divisive. Some, like the otaku population, are delighted. They believe that it will launch a new era in human history. Others are horrified, some to the point where theyd be happy to lead an Inquisition level witch hunt and eliminate the threat of magic users from the world at large.

School has been cancelled for the rest of the year, meaning summer break has come early for us. I am relishing in this newfound peace, relieved to no longer be concerned about Pandemonium at last. I can enjoy naughty time with my harem, train Reiji in swordplay, and just relax. My worries are all gone, and unlike last time, there are no potential loose ends. I will finally be able to enjoy a normal high school life. Well, normal for me at least. A familiar golden summoning circle appeared beneath me as I was headed to bed. Considering that each of my previous two visits resulted in me gaining payment that either saved my life or someone elses, I answered the summons eagerly. Surely nothing crazy is going to happen on this summoning, right?
