After Hajime left the plaza, Shizuku made Kouki drink the holy water and he recovered in no time
The puppet soldiers that Eri had, numbered up to 500 people and out of that It seems that 300 were turned intosoldiers ith Freed through the gate into Majinzoku territory
Although it was later found out in investigations that ic stones which were buried in the earth on the outskirts of the Kingdo able to transfer hisand other influential leaders were all killed by Eri’s puppet soldiers, currently, the seat of King within the Hairihi Kingdom was open Until the confusion subsides, Ririana and the safe queen, Ruruaria, will be taking the lead in the Kingdom’s reconstruction Most likely, once they’ve settled down, prince Randell as also safe, will be ascending to the throne
The number one cause of confusion was that there was no codo state, widespread uneasiness and distrust was spreading throughout the followers as the church didn’t appear during or after the war at all The truth was, everyone related to the church were already blown to smithereens by the explosion at the head temple! If the citizens heard about that, ould they think? A boy hite hair soht interest in that question
Also, the pillar of light which annihilated the Majinzoku’s large arht of condedo says, it was an incredibly painful story that their faith was further strengthened Haji if he should spread ruain, however, if Aiko heard of that she’d likely suffer to no end in her an to wonder of the reason why the church wasn’t co down from [Kamiyama], and naturally, they wanted to climb up to find out However, there was far too doround By the way, because Hajime and them stopped the lift, the only way to reach the head te up the mountain
Also, Hiyama’s remains were found a little distance away from the plaza His body was consu completely beaten up by Hajih, he was attacked by deot consumed because it appears that there were traces of intense resistance In particular, his left ar from the traces of blood, with his left arm consumed first, he ran desperately for his life and then the side of his body was then eaten which caused hiine it, it was likely one of the worst ways to die
With that, a variety of things turned up and 5 days have passed since the betrayal and death of their friends fro about Suzu as on good terht up in her obsession and insanity suffered deep mental wounds After Hiyaether with thele if you don’t know the ter with those who sustained deep mental wounds, Kouki and them were asked by Ririana and thedom in order to recuperate and recover, since that day Haji back at that
All uards should have known of Haji power of the pillar of light which annihilated the large arain, they were forced to feel their difference in power
Because Kouki and theroup Although they heard of Haji members, they no that they had only understood 1/10,000 of Haji but be concerned about Hajime, his comrades, and Kaori who he took with hi exactly what needs to be done, once in a while she’ll stare off into the distance with eyes that see in her heart It was clear to everyone that she was thinking of Kaori, the classmates itnessed Kaori’s death were unsure of what to say about it
From the talk that Haji about Kaori co a dead person was likely impossible and because of that they weren’t able to comfort the just like how Eri did, she’ll be brought back as a doll, in that case, it was easy to ied because of that, especially Kouki who had always cautioned himself as he watched Hajime and them
Kouki hi once again and saved twice by Hajinized it within hiood feelings for Hajime
It was, the so-called "Jealousy", however Kouki himself was not aware of it It wouldn’t be easy for hinised it, whether he moves forwards or looks away out of convenience……depends all on himself
Both Kouki and Shizuku couldn’t be said to have been in bright states, because Ryutaro is a muscle-for-brains he’s not reliable, and all classeneral
At times like these, it would usually be Suzu’s tis up but, without a question the actual person is in low tensions, the smiles that shes shown occasionally were painful It seems to be majorly due to what Eri had said to her It’s understandable Throughout ht to have been her best friend had only thought of her on the level of being a convenient tool
Even still, the entire class hasn’t co in order to reconstruct the Kingdole-mindedly was probably only Aiko
Aiko was also worried about Kaori, if she could, she’d do anything but, eighed against what Haji to do, with Yue and Teio there she understood that she had no turn That’s why she couldn’t neglect the students who reround and decided to stay
Because Aiko fire all of her students to work to their potentials, they were able to move on now
By the way, Aiko had obviously knohat had happened to the Church, although she knows more about it than anyone else, she stubbornly sealed her lips
That was in order to not obstruct Hajime and them, and at the same time, every time she remembers what she had done, her mouth becomes heavier Even if it was an unexpected result, her resolution to go through with it was true That’s hen Haji Ririana and theh Aiko see in fear She herself aided Teio in the obliteration of the church, if the students had known that she was involved in the blast which killed Ishstar and thehts then, what exactly would they think of her?
She fought because she was resolute to not allow her students to becoret about that matter, a murderer is a murderer She was surely already prepared that her students would no longer call her sensei
It should be noted that David and thehts, were still alive and well That was because after Aiko had disappeared, they protested to the upper brass, "Let us meet her!", many times, and after that was confirmed to never be fulfilled they decided to search for themselves, the upper brass ere fed up decided to lowered the into the head teed to barely escape from death at the head te to Aiko’s words and working hard to help out with this and that for the reconstruction
With those kinds of feelings, Aiko and the students are respectively holding their oeight in theirout with Ririana today to reconstruct the Kingdohts and eround By the way, the new knight leader’s naht and foruardsmen The vice-commander’s name was Neat Koht unit
[Thanks for the hard work Kouki-san]
During theas a partner for the knights so he iping his sweat at the edge of the drilling grounds and those words of appreciation ranged out When Kouki turned his line of sight towards it, Ririana was co deal …As for yourself Riri, you’ve barely gotten any sleep recently huh? Really, thanks for the hard work]
When Kouki showed a wry smile in return, Ririana also showed a wry smile Both of thein with, the reason why their sleeping time was cut doas due to coht now is not the ti with the loss of beloved people, disposing buildings which collapsed, confirreat barrier and the outer wall, reports and coate the surroundings, reorganizing…this is serious, they’re all things that need to be done Even if I whine about it, there’s no other way Mother has also shared the burden, so I can still go on ……The people who are truly suffering are those who lost i that then, even you’ve…]
From what Ririana had said, Kouki tried to point out that even she’s lost the King which was her father but, even if he said it, nothing would change, so he shut his s and said, [I’ed the topic
[How’s Shizuku holding out?]
[……She hasn’t changed Usually its the sa it she looks up above for a long tilanced towards Shizuku as talking with Kuzeri at the center of the drilling grounds
The tere probably friends through Ririana, they see rather intimately However, the conversation was suddenly interrupted, and naturally her eyes glanced upwards, in other words, you could tell she was looking towards the top vicinity of [Kaht …Being honest, the thing that Naguh I’d like for Shizuku and theet confused as to what they’re really saying, ?????????????????????]
Ririana had a slightly surprised expression as she turned her glance from Shizuku to Kouki Kouki’s expression had a complicated color, it was clear that what he said was not according to what he thought Jealousy, suspicion, fear, pride, gratitude, antipathy, various feelings were mixed in impatiently, his expression was difficult to express
Ririana couldn’t find the right words to say to Kouki, she looked up towards the top of [Kamiyama] where Hajime and them should be
The sky was clear, it’s as if the crisis of extinction froo never happened That sky looked as if it was in a happy-go-lucky s towards it and continued looking up at the sky
Then at that tian to see a few black dots in the sky With a doubtful look Ririana narrowed her eyes and she noticed that those black dots were gradually growing bigger, she noticed that soly she called out to Kouki by her side
[Ko, Kouki-san! There! Isn’t so down!]
[Eh? What are you suddenly…~, everyone! Watch out! So from above!]
Ririana’s attitude surprised Kouki but, as he looked up in the sky, he confir down, [Get down, it’s an enemy attack!], he warned out loudly with an i and quickly evacuated the drilling grounds and went beside Kouki and therounds
Zudo~oon!!
The earth tre crashed, as the dust clouds danced about, what appeared from it was……Hajiumo-kun!]
The first one to take off was Shizuku Exactly like Haji excess momentum was unavoidable However, within Hajime and them, Kaori’s appearance was no where to be seen, her expression gradually beca properly]
[Nagumo-kun…where’s Kaori? Why is Kaori not here?]
Shizuku relaxed somewhat after Hajime’s joke, however it was the truth that Kaori was not in front of her, as expected, it must have been too hard to overturn Kaori’s death, she was already unable to hide her uneasiness and asked in a tre voice
On the other hand, Hajiue expression
[Ah~, she’ll be here soon? It’s just that……her appearance ed a tiny~ bit…because of that see, it’ll be troubling if you placed the blaet mad?]
[Eh? Wait a bit What? What is? It h? What do youon the circuave me……]
Towards Hajime’s words which only further fanned the flaht in her eyes disappeared and she slowly began to extend her black katana on her waist [Dudu], Hajian to hear a scream from the sky
[Kyaaaa!! Haji what it was and looked up, they saw so speeds
With Shizuku’s excellent kinetic vision, she saoman with silver hair and blue eyes who had the beauty that could compete with a beautiful work of art that a historically naainst her cool appearance, she was falling dohile aardly flinging her ars with tears in her eyes and a miserable expression
The silver haired, blue eyed wo towards Hajime From her eyes you could see that she trusted that she would be caught
But, betraying such things were Hajime’s quality In the place where he was supposed to catch her, the moment before they collided he suddenly julance averted froround as if she was being consu dot eyed
Everyone had tre expressions as they looked towards Hajiht?] However, after the sand of cloud cleared up again, the beautiful woman with silver hair and blue eyes appeared, Aiko and Ririana both raised out a warning-like screaerous person who kidnaped Aiko and lent Eri a hand!]
Towards those words, Kouki and all the other classhts all simultaneously picked up their weapons Especially Shizuku as close to Hajime and them who immediately prepared to perfor eyes filled with murderous intent for the person who had lent a hand in Kaori’s death If an opening appeared, she would ilared at her, Nointo who had a pretty face like a work of art and silver hair with blue eyes, as if she didn’t suffer any dailly and easily stood up Then for a lanced at Hajime with reproachful eyes, and unbelievably she who had no emotions or expressions like a ly she spoke towards Shizuku
[Wa, wait! Shizuku-chan! It’s me, me!]
[ ? ]
Shizuku had a suspicious expression towards the wo for themself
Hajime as by the side muttered out, [you look like shady scalare then looked away It was impossible for Aiko and theh the appearance and voice was different, the strange wo out for herself was like a shadow of her best friend
While gently relaxing her quick draw position, she spaced out and suddenly muttered the name of her best friend
[……Kao, ri? Are you…Kaori?]
Was she extrelad that Shizuku had noticed that it was her? The silver haired blue eyed woht voice
[Un! I’h !]
[……Kaori…Kaori~i!]
Shizuku was stunned for a bit Although she has no idea how things turned out the way they did, even still, with the fact that her best friend was still alive and in front of her, finally soaking in, she embraced Kaori who had obtained a new body of a silver haired blue eyed woht as she cried out tears like rain
Kaori was also sobbing like a baby and like Shizuku she eently
[I’u, gusu~, I’lad~]
They both buried their faces in each others necks and Shizuku and Kaori firmly confirmed each other’s existence
Everyone who saas completely stunned, for a while, the cries of warrounds
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[So then, what exactly does this mean?]
With eyes dyed red and swollen from tears, Shizuku’s cheeks also blushed with the same amount of shame, and determined to hide her shame she demanded an explanation of the circumstances
The current location has switched froe rooards to Shizuku, it was explained that at heart she was Kaori and the body belonged to soed that they move to a calmer place However, it wasn’t only Shizuku who ca
[Well, lets see…cutting straight to the chase Using ic, Kaori’s soul was protected, Nointo’s corpse? Remains? Ma~a, we restored it and took it over]
[I see…I don’t get it at all]
Shizuku just stared at hajiave off his extre, [Is that all there is to it? Ahh?], with an insecure look In place of Haji was 0, Kaori decided to explain with an amazed expression
[Ehhto ne, Shizuku-chan You know that the ic froht?]
[……Yes I’ve studied soic that appears in the myth about how this world was created? Rather than the current attribute e……wait Do you ic that Naguuys have is the spirit type…a power that allows you to interfere with a person’s soul? With that, the spirit of the dead Kaori was protected and settled in a different body right?]
[Right! As expected of Shizuku-chan]
For so out her chest proudly In fact, the rate of Shizuku’s brain being able to process things was fast Hajime had also known of this before but, inside of hiain ier alright? I thought that you guys could soe to heal up the wound that was inflicted on her heart with recovery h……]
[Ahh, the truth is, Kaori’s body is completely healed and it was possible to return her soul to it]
Spirit ic where you can literally stay i your own soul
By "fixating" it was ic which preserved the dead spirit that was interfered with in order to not allow it to deteriorate nor disappear, at first, this hat Teio performed on Kaori However, it was lucky that Teio made it on time because it’s ineffective if several ", just as it says, regardless of the fixated spirit, they’ll be established whether its as organic or inorganicwould still cause theain even if they establish themselves because it won’t be suitable for survival, however, it’ll be possible with a healthy body, it’s also possible to leave the wedge of time and becooleic isn’t so si It was successful precisely because Yue and Teio were naturally talented at ic Even still, it took 5 whole days to properly establish
[Then, why…what happened to Kaori’s original body? There must have been some kind of problem then?]
[Shizuku-chan, cal down Shizuku, Kaori continued to explain
