The Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Frondier followed Philly's lead, strolling through the Imperial Palace.

He realized this was his first time entering the palace since the war. Despite the lack of people, there was a sense of busyness in the air. They were probably occupied with the restoration and processing after the war.

‘…As expected, I can't let another war break out here.’

The Empire wasn't prepared for another war. Due to the unique nature of the Empire, with Manggot being the only potential enemy on the continent, their sense of preparedness for such a situation was weak.

Frondier had informed his father, Enfer, about the devils in the west. Worried that his words alone might lack credibility, he had also asked Elodie, a fellow witness, to do the same.

Even so, he wasn't sure how much Enfer would believe him, but as long as he kept it in mind, the Roach and Shroud Knight Orders would act as guardians while they were in Manggot.

‘Philly must have already received information about the devils, is this somewhat boisterous welcome because of that?’

Frondier had built a considerable amount of trust with Philly. Of all the characters he had met so far, they were the ones who had doubted each other the most, but perhaps because of that, their current trust was strong.

This trust wasn't a belief that Philly was a good person, but rather an understanding of what kind of person Philly was.
