Isekai No Gakusei: Students From Another World
Time to Go

The next day, early in the morning, Darren had already left the inn and returned to the castle as soon as possible.

Once he got there, he immediately reported to Schlaff about his decision to leave.

"You want to resign?" Schlaff was surprised to hear Darren say that. "B-But why?"

Darren grunting. "I have a special training, and my teacher has set his place" Darren said.

Schlaff looks moody. "You know what, you're a fugitive?" Her speech. "Once you're out of this kingdom, we've taken our hands off you. If you get into trouble, then we won't be able to help much."

Darren nodded. "I know that. I've thought about it too."

All these reasons Darren said that Schlaff did not interfere in his problems. Although he was a General who did not have special talent, but he was a person who had great sympathy.

He could have been careless and ordered his men to hunt down the Demon King. Which means Darren doesn't want that to happen.

"Then, where are you going?" Schlaff asked, asking for certainty.

"To the Kingdom to the northeast, the Kingdom of Noordoos," replied Darren, as Tomatsu had told him.

"Noordoo? Don't-don't-" Schlaff was surprised, "You're planning on going to the Demon continent!?"

Darren nodded. "Yes, that's right."

Schlaff's face was immediately grim for a moment, but then he continued, "Alright. Go safely," he said. "Anyway, I can't forbid someone from getting better, can I."

Darren smiled knot. "Thank you, Schlaff."

After that Darren turned and was about to walk out of the room, until suddenly a masked woman appeared in front of the door.

"You want to go?" It was Akira.

Darren was a little surprised, but he still answered. "Yes, I have an interest" replied Darren.

"The Demon King, right?" Akira whispered. "It must be about Tomatsu."

Darren shakes. He thought it might not matter if Akira knew about this. "Actually, this is about another Demon King."

Akira was shocked. Although the mask was still attached, it was clear that his expression was immediately tense.

"Another Demon King? What do you mean?"

"One of the seven True Demon Lords is eyeing me" Darren explained. "For some reason, he's after the power that's in me."

Akira immediately removed his mask. "No way," he said. "Do you have any plans for this? Have you thought about this carefully?"

Darren looked at him while nodding slowly. "Here you go" he answered briefly.

"Then why don't you just stay. We, the entire Friedlich Kingdom, can help you!" Akira. "I, and my army, can give you protection!"

Darren shakes back. "No, no, I can't let you get involved in this" he replied. "It's a matter of life and death."

"If I stay here too long, this place could be a war zone. Too many lives are at stake, and I don't want that to happen" Darren said.

Akira was about to reply but he suddenly fell silent. He looked down at the floor with a grim face.

"But-" He tried to speak but could not, as if his mouth was locked.

"It's okay" Darren said suddenly. "I'll be fine. So do you and everyone."

Akira raised his face and saw Darren looking at him.

"Esema-kun's..." Said slowly. "Then, allow-"

Darren straightened up, preparing to leave. "If you're thinking of coming. I'm sorry, but I won't allow it" Darren said. "This kingdom needs you. The people here, they could all be in danger."

Akira scowling.

"I want you to stay alert for the next few days, because the Demon King might show up" Darren said. "Command all your subordinates to check every corner of the city. Make sure no one is suspicious, because it could be an enemy spy."

"And so," said Darren again, "If you see a small-bodied Succubus, try to avoid a battle with him."

"Emang why?" Reply Akira.

"He's very strong" Darren replied.

Akira clearly looked worried. "Then, where are you going?" Ask Akira.

"Noordoos, the kingdom in the northeast of the continent" Darren replied.

"N-Noordoos!?" Akira's surprised. "Don't-don't"

Darren nodded immediately. "Yes, right. Demon Continent," he said.

"But why? Why must the demon continent?"

Darren replied. "Tomatsu told me. He said it might be a safe place."

Akira's face became more and more worried. "But he's Agh! Is he really trustworthy?" Akira. "It could have been that he deliberately did that to frame you."

Darren was slightly jolted at hearing that. That's right what Akira said. He himself had even forgotten to think about it.

But, Darren was confident enough to trust Tomatsu. Tomatsu's eyes that day, he wants revenge. And as long as that intention was still there, he would definitely still need Darren's help.

"It's okay" Darren replied with a smile. "I'm sure he wouldn't do that. Besides, if he's betrayed, then I'll beat him up."

Darren said it all in a joking tone, but it was still not enough to make Akira's heart feel calm. This worry, when did Akira last feel it?

"No need to worry, Akira. Darren is strong. You have to trust him!" Akira said in his heart. Screaming to himself.

After which Darren turned and walked towards the castle exit.

"Please keep this a secret. I don't want the Kingdom to hear this" Darren said before leaving and waving.

Akira just stared at his disappearance. With his three friends, Darren walks away from his sight and disappears into the crowd outside the castle.

"I'll keep your trust, Darren," said Akira quietly.

"What's this?" Darren.

"I am the King's messenger. He has heard the submission of resignation from you, so he wants to give you a little help" he replied. "These horses are the best quality horses on the farm. He wants you to have it. I hope I can help you a lot on your way."

Darren thanked the man, and the man then left.

"When I don't know how to ride a horse" Darren said with an awkward smile. "But it's okay, make us carry our stuff."

After putting the items on the horse, Darren and his friends pulled the horse with a rope. Their journey has finally begun.

After exiting Veronheim, the outermost city of Friedlich, Darren saw a very beautiful sight. A view he would see along the way.

While walking pulling the horse rope, Darren turned to Tomatsu. Today he looks like he is back to normal. There is no more strange.

But as he watched Tora, he still looked cold and moody. Darren wonders what happened to him.

"Tora, what's wrong?" Darren approached the dreamy Tora.

Tora gasped in surprise. He saw Darren was already beside him.

"Damn, what should I do?" Mumbled.

So far, Tora and Shiro still do not know about Darren's real reason for leaving Friedlich. Darren just said that he went there to improve the quality of his training.

When I first heard about it, Shiro got excited. He also wants to train and be stronger with Darren.

Tora showed no reaction. He was neither surprised nor happy. His face was just flat and televiews flashed when he heard that.

Now, Tora was frightened. Saw Darren being very close to him and asked him how he was. He never thought that Darren would be so attentive.

Tora thought that being quiet was not a good response. Darren could be getting suspicious of him. But, if he wanted to answer, he had to think through the words more maturely.

"It's okay," Tora replied in a cold tone. He still felt heavy to answer.

Darren only responded with a worried look. He did not understand what Tora wanted.

"Hm, okay. If you don't want to say it" Darren replied. Most importantly, take care of your health. If there's anything, you can say."

After that Darren went to the front row to meet Shiro. Tora breathed a sigh of relief as Darren did not ask that further.

"Shiro," Call Darren while appearing from behind.

Shiro. "Oh, Esema-sama," He looks happy today. "What's wrong?"

"It's okay. I'm just checking. Afraid that you're not feeling well or something. But you look healthy" Darren said.

Shiro smiled happily at her.

"By the way, did Tora say anything to you?" Ask Darren slowly. Not to sound backwards.

Shiro shook his head slowly. "No. He has been silent since yesterday. He didn't say anything" Whispered Shiro.

Darren had already thought about this matter. If Tora did behave strangely because of yesterday's events, then continuing to urge her would actually make things worse.

"I know what trauma feels like. That was so bad. If indeed the event traumatized him, maybe I better not bring it up directly," murmured Darren. "Talking about it in front of him will even make him feel cornered."

Suddenly Tomatsu patted Darren on the shoulder.

"Esema-kun, what were you talking about with Akira earlier?" Ask directly.

Darren was a little surprised. "W-How can you-Ah, you must have peeked at me huh," Darren instantly guessed, followed up with a small laugh from Tomatsu.

"Did you tell me why we left?" Connect Tomatsu.

Darren retaliated. "Yes, and he originally wanted to come along. But I forbid it."

"Then the general?"

"I didn't tell him" Darren said.

Tomatsu nodded in understanding. After that he whispered to Darren.

"You'd better stay away from the people you love from this, '" he whispered. "I no longer understand what love means. But if there's someone you love, then you better stay away from her."

Darren laughed a little, and felt sad.

"Love.yeah," Darren ducked. He smiled but in his mind he remembered something. "Yuzuna-san's..."

"What's wrong? Do you remember your boyfriend?" Tomatsu breaks Darren's reverie.

"Ah, no. I don't have a boyfriend either" Darren replied in a hurry. "By the way, what exactly are we going to do after arriving at the demon continent?"

"I didn't take you there for no reason to know" Reply Tomatsu. "There, we'll hide for a while. And while we're in hiding, I need you to help me solve my kingdom's problems."

"It turns out you have your own motives, yes" Darren said.

"It seems impossible to solve this problem, but I still remember some events before I passed out at that time" Tomatsu continued. "Maybe you can use it to infer a little bit of what's really going on."

Darren nodded lazily.

"All right, all right," he said. "Take it we're already even."

Their journey continues. Darren was still worried about the Demon King's matter. Plus the problem of Tomatsu, and also Tora.

Shiro was delighted to be able to wander with Darren. For him, Darren is the best employer, and he will really enjoy their journey.

For Tomatsu, this journey is not just an escape, but also a journey to discover the truth of his Kingdom.

And Tora, he's still moody. Thinking about how to get away from Darren without making him suspicious. But behind all that, he was still doubtful about his choice.

"Swash... or not?" Tora was still struggling in her mind.
