After decades of ruling the empire, the Emperor abdicated the throne and stepped down.
Some anticipated a bit of turmoil due to this, but nothing of the sort happened.
As if mocking their worries, the empire continued to function peacefully.
Of course, this could all be a superficial observation.
A new leader was rising, and they couldn't very well let doubts or obstacles dim their ascent.
A new sun was rising, and they couldn't very well let clouds and rain obscure its light.
New figures stepped into positions of power, while those already in place doubled their efforts.
In the midst of this whirlwind of change, another chapter drew to a close sooner than they expected.

"Ughhh."
I seriously almost died.
Can you believe it? A Medal of Honor recipient nearly getting crushed to death.
The Autumn Festival, which started two weeks later than last year, concluded successfully.
And once again, I was kind of forced into the spotlight and got a real taste of what it's like.
"Senior! Karl, Senior!"
"The noble saw me! They saw me!"
"No! They saw the mint chocolate bungeoppang next to you!"
I thought maybe my fame might've died down over time.
But no. Instead, it was skyrocketing like crazy.
Actually, I had a pretty good idea why.
It was a combination of what I'd done and what others had added on.
Everyone knew that using my name was a guaranteed success, so it would be weird if they didn't take advantage of it.
"Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem right to just leave the Memorial Day as it is."
"To express gratitude and reverence to the fallen heroes, it seems right to designate it as a holiday. It's a different concept from the Victory Day."
"Karl Adelheit, the young lord of Friedrich county, expressed his hope that it would become a day when more citizens of the Empire could honor the fallen and reflect upon their sacrifices."
"The Ministry of War officially proposes to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Justice to designate the Memorial Day as a national holiday. We hope you will consider it."
Yeah. Like this. Without me even knowing, I was constantly being brought up in national affairs.
The funny thing was that instead of being annoyed, each department was happily using it to their advantage.
A cause that could never fail.
A proven guarantee that would only rise higher and never fall.
Every time it was discussed, it was met with support and cheers from the citizens, so it seemed they were going to use it to the fullest.
As a result, at the festival, I wasn't just a senior from the same academy, but almost, with a bit of exaggeration, someone worthy of reverence.
"And on top of that, even the Imperial family is backing it. Right?"
