"Nagumo-kun!... Sensei is... sensei is..."
Even if her words weren't continued, he called out Hajime's name because of her pride as a "teacher." Hajime stopped for a while and spoke to Aiko over his shoulder.

Following that, this time he didn't stop and came off from the surrounding circle, he took out magic-driven four-wheeler and escaped from there when everyone had boarded it.
Afterwards, what remained was the clamor from the town that was joyed for their survival and the the indescribably subtle mood.
