[......if “you have power” huh. That’s exactly why you’ll always be groveling on the ground. ….I believe that power should be used with clearly defined intentions. You don’t do something because you have power. Because you want something you use power. If you’re saying that just because “you have power” you have to do it regardless of your will then, that’s probably nothing more than a “curse”. that will is too feeble. …...Or rather, I have no intentions of arguing about which path you and I take. Anything more about this will be annoying so I’ll seriously send you flying]
After Hajime said that, his eyes returned to normal as if he had no interest in Kouki and them.
From his attitude, Hajime was serious about himself and the world, Kouki realised that it wasn’t out of a grudge nor hatred, he simply had no interest. After the reason why he lost was said out, he kept quiet while shaking violently. I have a strong will!, he wanted to object, but, for some reason those words wouldn’t come out.
The other classmates as well, somehow understood that Hajime coming back and teaming up with them again was nothing but a dream, and, they trembled violently when they thought that they might seriously end up like Hiyama if they said things poorly.
After all, even though they were just puppets, their opponent was someone who held no hesitation and turned all the knights including Meld into chunks of meat. As for the stay-behind group, they couldn’t even look Hajime in the eye after he fell into hell.
[......As expected, you won’t be staying around? I wanted you to at least stay until the defense system for the Kingdom was repaired…..]
The person who requested it was Ririana.
As of now, confusion is still within the Kingdom, although the magic formation which allowed large-scale transfer was removed, they were still in a state where it was unknown when the Majinzoku would be attacking once again so Hajime and them were an existence which they didn’t want to part with. Freed who seemed to be the other parties general only withdrew because Hajime was here. With just Hajime and them being here, they were already a kind of repellent.
[Since things were already established with God’s Apostle, I want to hurry up ahead. Resurrecting Kaori took 5 days as well. I plan on leaving tomorrow]
Though Ririana’s shoulders dropped, after Hajime and them had left, there was no way of stopping Freed and them so as a princess she needed to hold onto them.
