Chapter 253: Chapter 253 - Ostia Festival 9
The next day, just in time for the 20th anniversary of the end of the war, it finally started.
And right now all the streets in Ostia were filled with so many people. Especially the Ariadne War Maiden Brigade whose appearance was very conspicuous, with their combat outfits which were extremely have embarrassingly design.
'Eh, uh, Yue! Why, the heck, do we have to guard the World Peace Festival in such disgraceful combat outfits!?' Asked Collet. 'I really like being part of the Ariadne War Maiden Brigade but if you have to wear combat clothes like this, it's not really.'
'I don't like wearing this, combat outfit either,' Yue replied with a flushed face. .'But we have no other choice Collete, because every member of the Ariadne War Maiden Brigade is required to wear this combat gear who have a really pathetic design. And oddly enough, the Headmaster seems happy to wear this combat outfit even though it seems that the Headmaster's maid has the same thoughts as the two of us.'
'Well, only people with odd tastes like Class rep would enjoy wearing these weird combat outfits,' Collete said. 'I'm at a loss as to how we're going to maintain security at the Peace Festival in these combat outfits.'
'This battle suit is indeed strange by design and does not have much durability,' Yue said with a sigh. 'I'm confused as to why Ariadne's side, gave us battle clothes that are weaker in defense than the armor worn by adventurers.'
'Eh, maybe because of the lack of funds our country has,' Collete said. 'Recently the number of students coming to Ariadne has decreased by seventy percent, so the funds available for various things in Ariadne have been reduced.'

"You two stop whispering like that!" Emily said with a super serious look. "Your actions damage the reputation of the Ariadne war Maiden Brigade."
"Class rep, the combat outfits we're wearing alreadt enouh to ruined the reputation that the Ariadne War Maiden Brigade has," Collete said. "Don't you realize that all the members of the War Maiden Brigade don't like this low-durability combat outfit at all, you're the only one with a strange taste in this combat outfit with a strange design."
"Collete-san you can't lie like that!" Emily said looking very angry. "There's no way the other members of the War Maiden Brigade wouldn't like this battle outfit of beautiful design and strong durability! Isn't it Beatrix?"
"Ojou-Sama, in this matter I have to agree with Yue and Collete," Emily's Beatrix maid said. "The combat clothes we are wearing today are very low in durability and the design is so bad that it will be difficult for the wearer of this armor to move while fighting, sorry if I offended you because I said this. But out of all the members of the War Maiden Brigade you are the only one who is crazy enough to think that these combat outfits we wear are well designed and highly durable."
Beatrix's words sent Emily into a state of shock, and her face turned red. Apparently all this time she was the only one in the Ariadne War Maiden Brigade which was strange enough to think that the combat clothes she was wearing were of good design and strong in defense. Even though she thought that the War Maiden Brigade's combat clothes were very beautiful and had strong durability.

"Fyuuh thank goodness that annoying Class rep left, because ahe was in shock," Collete said while sighing because she felt relieved. "I never liked her pretentious and controlling attitude to the extreme."
"With her attitude like that I'm not sure that she can properly maintain security at the Peace Festival," Yue said as she walked beside Collete following the War Maiden Brigade's entourage. "Because following the rules to the extreme level is not a good thing and will only invite trouble."
"Yup, because as a neutral military country that is currently short on capital, helping maintain security in Ostia during the Peace Festival can help Ariadne's finances," Collete said. "Especially maintaining security from the riots that resulted from the feud between an arrogant country whose hobby was looking for trouble like Megalomesembria and its enemy from the South of the Hellas kingdom. The two countries, have been at war for years. And cause a lot of trouble all over the world."
"You know a lot, don't you, about the big trouble that happened in Mundus Magicus," Yue said with sweat dripping down her cheeks. "In fact, politics, military and war are difficult and hard topics to study."
"That's because my father is a high ranking military officer from the Hellas kingdom," Collete explained. "That's why I'm obliged to learn and remember all things political and military which is strangely a topic that I really enjoy studying."
"It turns out that you have something you're happy to learn," Yue said who was surprised to hear Collete's explanation. "And your grades in other subjects are so bad that I have to help you so you can remember."

"Well, I also proudly admit that I'm a military stuff maniac," Collete said while puffing out her flat chest. "And as proof, I can tell that the name of the whale-shaped fighter plane is the Megalomesembrian aircraft carrier, and its name is Svanhvit! The ship played a major role in the war, and is said to be the strongest warship to date, you know!! The power of the god Judgment cannon of that ship was formidable! In the Great Bridge rescue operation, the god judgment cannon destroyed seven monsters brought by the enemy in one hit!"
"You really are a military maniac with a lot of military knowledge according to what you said earlier," Yue said. "Something I didn't expect from someone like you."
While Collete is engrossed in showing off his knowledge of the military, the carrier Svanhvit drops a giant humanoid wielding an enormous stick. The appearance of the humanoid took Yue by surprise, because the gigantic humanoid form was similar to something she had seen in the past. Although Yue couldn't remember clearly, what that giant humanoid resembled to.
"The Megalomesembria are indeed insane with the giant demon army they have," Collete said who did not like the appearance of a giant humanoid. "Do they want to start a war with the Hellas kingdom!?"
"Giant demons!?" Yue said. "Collete, do you know anything about the giant humanoids brought by the Megalomesembrian side?"
"It's a superweapon made by Megalomesembria to win the war twenty years ago," Collete explained to Yue. "The ones used against enemies that surpass category A. Like Dragons, and the undead that can't be killed by normal means."

"But it seems, the Hellas kingdom doesn't want to lose either," Yue said who looked at the ship carried by the Hellas kingdom. "Just look at the ship used by the Hellas kingdom, it seems to be very strong."
"That's the imperial ship of the Hellas kingdom and also did you see the giant dragon flying behind it," Collete said, pointing at the Ancient Dragon. "That dragon is a sacred beast that has protected the Hellas kingdom for thousands of years, and the name of that sacred dragon is Vrkso Nagasya the Ancient Dragon."
"Ancient Dragons!" Yue said who was surprised to see Vrkso Nagasya who suddenly appeared behind the imperial ship. "Doesn't that mean he's an SS level monster that is said to have the same strength as the Thousand Masters, Jack Rakan, and Maga Nosferatu Dark Evangel! I didn't know the Hellas kingdom had such a strong monster!"
"Wonderful view isn't it?" Colette said. "The Hellas kingdom deliberately brought the Ancient Dragon to show Megalomesembria so that they would not try to start a war or cause trouble, otherwise the Hellas kingdom would release Vrkso Nagasya to destroy Megalomesembria. It's no secret that Megalomesembria wants to take control of Mundus Magicus and even the old world."
"A country that is thirsty for power and wants to do anything to get its way against a country that wants to protect Mundus Magicus from that tyrannical country, huh," Yue said. "All matters of war and politics always make my head spin! I really don't like issues like that, which will only bring havoc to many people."
