(POV Third Person)
Sitting on a bench located in the garden in the Palace of the Kingdom of Groxia.
There, Saki looks at the sky with her blue eyes that seem empty, where it can also be seen if madness is emanating from behind it.
'I guess, what is it, that my Sou is doing?'
Not long after thinking about it, the eyes that Saki had immediately became increasingly filled with madness, because...
'If only my Unique Skill could read minds and the things he was doing, it would probably be much better. Because, that way, I will definitely know, who is trying to take my Sou from me.'
Even though this Aizawa girl thought of such a thing, but she still decided to focus on the thing that was in front of her, while continuing to try to think positively.
...
On Souji's own side...

"Sou-chan, are you okay?" Nagisa immediately asked with concern, which I only answered with a light nod.
"More important than that, do you understand what I just said?"
After I asked that question, Ayano-sensei became the first to answer it, which Shinomiya-san, Kyouya, Sanada, followed and ended with Mirai-kun.
"Yes. Just why are you telling me this now?"
"That's what Mikasa-sensei said. Why didn't you tell us this in the first place? Because, maybe we can help you a little."
"That's absolutely right. You don't have to endure everything alone, Souji-san. We're friends, aren't we? Friends are supposed to help each other."
"Really, Right. You can't hide something like this from us, Souji-senpai. That's not good."
"Hmp! Only this time I agree with everything else about you. You shouldn't have hidden that."
Hearing all that, I could only smile wryly, because... "Do you guys know? I actually wanted to be honest about this from the start, but I just didn't want to make you guys worry any more."
"Not to mention, our current position is really in a very bad position. Because, in addition to being fugitives from the Kingdom of Groxia, it is likely that we will also find it difficult to enter a City."
"But still, you don't have to hide it like this, Sou-chan. Don't you think of us at all?" Nagisa immediately replied to me with a tone full of seriousness, where the others began to look at me with serious eyes as well.
Oh yeah, if anyone asks, about what's going on? I can only say that if I accidentally let these people know about some of the people who were after us yesterday.
And, it could happen, because of the appearance of one of them in front of us, who seems to be the leader of the people who chased us yesterday.
Keep going, what's going on? Of course, I quickly killed him, without waiting for the man to finish speaking.
It's just that, the problem here, I forgot, if I was not alone, aka the six people who are with me at this time, they certainly saw the murder I did.
And, just like that, I was forced to explain what had happened, just to prevent a misunderstanding between us, let alone given our current position.
"Of you keep thinking about it, instead of better, if we continue on our way? Not to mention, because the sky has begun to look orange, we better also immediately find a place to sleep, right?"
Even though they seemed a bit upset by my answer, they still accepted it in the end, which certainly made us continue our journey.
.....
....
...
Just like that, the night came quite quickly, with us who luckily managed to find a good place to settle down for a while, before the sky actually darkened.
We decided to rest between the two largest trees in the vicinity of the area where we were, which would certainly be near the river stream, he said, just because I felt it would be so much better, almost in all sorts of things.
By the way, right now I am looking at the star-filled night sky that is behind the dense foliage of this forest, which is so dense, it almost covers it as a whole.
As I stared at the star-filled sky, I glanced slightly at the six people who were coming with me, where I could see, if only Ayano-sensei is still seen waking up, while the others are already asleep.
"Are you not sleeping, Ayano-sensei?"
"What are you, Souji-kun? Why haven't you slept?" Ayano-sensei immediately replied to her in a soft tone, at which point she got up and started sitting beside me.
I glanced at him at first, before I looked back at the star-filled sky above me, and after a few minutes, I finally decided to reply.
"Then, Sensei is the same. Sensei hasn't been sleepy either."
Hearing such a reply, I could only glance at him with a strange look, before I said; "Stop using such a thing. It really doesn't fit in at all with you."
After I said that, Ayano-sensei immediately pinched me and said; "Mow! It's not polite to know, Souji-kun. Sensei can cry."
"Yes, yeah. It's up to you, Sensei."
The two of us then chuckled, before the two of us began to stare at the night sky in silence.
The silence continued for the next few minutes, until Ayano-sensei finally spoke again.
"Sir, Souji-kun. Do you think that the actions taken by Bani-kun are wrong?"
I heard that, at first I could only glance at it, because... 'This guy's... He still tries to be a good teacher.'
To be honest, of the many things about this woman sitting next to me, the thing I admire most about her, it's about how much he wants to be a good teacher.
Although in the end it ended up quite funny anyway, where he was instead stamped as a Killer Master, but I couldn't help but admire his dedication.
Moreover, considering this family who more want his son to become a doctor...
I'm pretty sure that this woman's struggle to become a teacher wasn't easy at all.
That's why, I can only say; "Come. Because, it's up to you to want to see it from which point of view, Sensei. The answer will be different."
After I said that, I could see this woman who started looking at me with slightly widened eyes, which definitely made me smile a little.
"Although, there is much more to it than that." This time, I said that while getting up from where I was sitting at the moment.
Ayano-sensei himself was immediately seen looking at me in confusion, "What are you talking about, Souji-kun?"
"I mean that, it would be very troublesome, if only you were sick, as a result of staying up like this. So, let's go to bed?"
I could see a small smile growing on Ayano-sensei's face, after I said that.
Just like that, after Ayano-sensei agreed to it, the two of us then decided to go to sleep.

(POV Third Person)
In another place...
It could be seen that Dafa was lying on the roof of Orobas' castle, with the Demon Lord girl herself lying nearby and using her stomach as a pillow.
Both of them were seen just staring at the night sky in silence, until finally Orobas decided to break the silence.
"Neh, my friend~ Do you think that big things will happen soon to this world~?"
Dafa was silent at first, gazing at the billions of stars dotting the night sky before he finally decided to avenge them.
"Eitherway. But, most likely, there will indeed be a great shock to this entire World."
"Are you going to be the main cause, my friend~?"
This time, Dafa did not reply, as the young boy continued to stare at the night sky in silence, with Orobas himself deciding not to continue the conversation.
Although it was silent on the outside, inside, Dafa was actually formulating a plan that he was going to take in front of him, especially after the teenager had managed to see through all the memories of this Demon Lord Zagan, who was actually there, that seems to be one of the pawns of someone who made the summoning of a Hero possible.
Indeed, Dafa still has not received such a reliable clue, to be able to find the real mastermind behind it.
It was just that, from the memories possessed by this Demon Lord Zagan, he had managed to obtain quite a lot of extremely useful information, let alone regarding the true purpose of the Demon Lord Guild Council, he had managed to obtain quite a lot of useful information, let alone regarding the true purpose of the Demon Lord Guild Council, and the location of the territory of some Demon Lord that existed in this World.
Not only that, this teenager also managed to understand the true Core of Magic in this World. It's just that, unfortunately, although it is said to have succeeded in understanding the point, but he actually only understood a small part of it, that's because this is indeed quite difficult to understand, especially regarding this Imaginary Magic, it is more commonly referred to as Number Magic.
'It's troublesome. If this whole thing hadn't happened, I might still be enjoying my leisurely life at school.'
Although he wanted to protest about it, but because he did not know who to protest to, the teenage boy finally decided to stop thinking about it and go to sleep, with Orobas sleeping nearby.
