After I woke up, I went straight to school after having breakfast. Today I went out alone because I didn't want to hear Lily's jokes about me and Mary.

Again today there are a lot of guards on the street, and apparently, with each passing day fewer people are walking the streets.

When I got to school, Mary was already there waiting for me.

'Does she wait for me every day?'

I didn't know how long she was waiting for me, but seeing her every day is not bad at all. When I arrived Mary greeted me, I also greeted her and we went inside.

Mary asked me why I wasn't with Lily today.

I fooled her by saying that Lily needed to do something and would come a little later.

When we arrived in the classroom we were greeted by a few glances. I ignored all the looks, but it seems that Mary was quite annoyed.

"Hey Endl, are you dating Mary?" (Edna)

"What?" (Endl)

Who asked me was Edna, I don't why, but how did it happen? How would I be dating Mary?

I think there is some misunderstanding here, we never even touch each other in public, and I don't remember anyone seeing us either.

'Has anyone seen us in the cafe?'

That was the only possibility. I decided to ask Edna what had happened.

"Gabiy said he saw you two holding hands inside the cafe in front of the school" (Edna)

So it was this. When I accepted Mary's proposal she was so happy that she grabbed my hands.

Then Gabiy saw us at that moment.

"No, I'm not dating Mary. We just discussed being a pair during the school tournament" (Endl)

"So that was it, sorry" (Edna)

Edna doesn't look at all sorry, she has a smile on her face. Apparently she thinks I lied about not being with Mary.

"Hey Mary, come here" (Endl)

I called Mary, she got scared a little but came over here.

"What is?" (Mary)

"We are dating?" (Endl)

"W-What are you saying? Of course not" (Mary)

Mary answered quickly. As she said out loud, everyone around listened, including Edna.

'She's so ashamed'

When Mary realized that she spoke very loudly, she was very ashamed. Mary returned to her seat, after that Edna stopped talking about it, but apparently she still doesn't believe us much.

I didn't want weird rumors to spread, but it seems like it was inevitable.

_________________________________________

After leaving class, I waited for Lily to leave school with Mary. Mary and I continued talking about the rumors, apparently many girls in our class had come to her and asked if she was with me.

'How annoying'

I'm sorry for Mary, but usually girls are like that.

After a while Lily left school and we went home after saying goodbye to Mary.

When we arrived at the inn, we went to the room to wait for dinner, as it seems that dinner will be a little late today.

After a while, Deby came to call us for dinner.

We went down and dad was already there, I have to ask him about the guards. After we sat down I started talking to Dad.

"Dad, why are there so many guards in the streets?" (Endl)

"Well ..." (Helbert)

'Seems like a serious matter'

My father began to tell the story. Apparently, the group of rebel demons were seen at the country's borders, so the guard was increased.

Apparently this group of demons called Deemonid, they are a group of demons that do not accept peace between humans and demons.

My father said they may have infiltrated the country of Ezhanten, so security has been greatly increased, and citizens are scared, so there is less movement on the streets.

"This is very serious" (Lily)

Lily who was listening also agreed with us, it is a very dangerous situation as they say that this group of demons are quite violent.

'I hope not to meet them now'

I didn't want to have to fight such demons now, because that would certainly be very dangerous.

After we finished eating, Dad left again, apparently he had a lot of work because of the threat of demons.

"I hope dad doesn't get hurt" (Lily)

Lily looked worried, well it's certainly dangerous, but Dad is one of the country's elite guards, so he has to fight if something happens.

"Don't worry, it's gonna be alright" (Endl)

I just tried to calm Lily down since I didn't have much I could do.

After that we shower as usual and go to sleep.

'I hope Mary doesn't find these demons either. I don't know what I would do if something happened to her '
