The morning training is over, and I'm coming to the Black Devil's Forest...

"Hey, shouldn't I be alone today?

"Toshi is resting today, Kuru and Toshi are with us, and we'll get to the subhuman settlement soon."

"... roger that."

Although Isabelle is not here today, Kuru and Tokori are still coming, and everyone is full of the desire to destroy the settlement... especially the local members have a huge resentment against the subhumans and a great temper.

"Wow... Tanya already has different hair colors... but Lily is better..."

"I see... it looks the same as usual..."

"Aura is drifting... I feel it"

Aura just feels like it, but she certainly feels... a little overwhelmed.

"Lily, are you okay?

"Toshi-kun! It's gonna be okay!

"I'm a little overwhelmed."

"... sorry..."

"Hmm? I'm not angry... just a little worried?

"... thank you! It's okay!"

"Have you returned to the usual way? I'm glad."

Nothing in particular happened afterwards… nothing really went wrong, when I arrived at the subhuman settlement, Luna smashed into the gods and destroyed each one of the survivors, some of them with the name A Rank, but it seems that Sakura and Toki were defeated by Tanya's one shot, Lily's one shot, even where I didn't see them.

"We don't survive!

"I've confirmed total annihilation."

"Cheers, Sakura and Noah. Rest."

"Yes!

"... Toshi! Hey, come here!

"What? Anything wrong?

When I go to a cavernous place called Hikari... what is this?

"... did you put Cuz's nucleus in here?

"... that's very likely, this"

"Is this the nucleus?

There's a few little black stones in there... take them home and check with Cuz.

"Now that you're done with the Black Devil's Forest, let's all go back to Rhino!

"" "Yes!

After arriving in Rhino and reporting to the guild, I spent time with Kuru and Tokori until their return...

"Louise, can I talk to you for a second?

"Nushi-sama? What is it?"

"I'm talking about the King's War, but we're almost done here, right?

So?

Are you ready or not?

"If you don't want to be late, you'll be fine!

"Really? Four days? Since when?

"It's okay because I told Luna!

"... thank you"

Does that bother you? There's nothing left to do before the Kings...

"Noooo!!!

"... uhh..."

"What!? What's wrong!?

"Kuru and Tokori are here again..."

"I don't want to go home..."

"Kuru, Tokori... you know, you really promised to play after the Kings, right?

"... yeah..."

"... nnh"

"But you stayed and you played with me, didn't you?

"... yeah"

"... but..."

"If you do what you have to do when you leave, you won't be able to play anymore.

"Noooo!!!

"... uhh..."

"If you want to hang out with people again... every time you go home, Isabelle might tell you not to hang out with them.

"... yeah"

"If you're still playing today, you won't be able to play anymore. If you're a good kid and you can go home, you can still play and stay. Which one would you like?

"... stay again..."

"... yeah... I'm going home fine."

"All right, then don't cry."

"Yeah."

"... yeah"

Did you manage to convince him? Now, let's relax in Kings!
