“Then I should be grateful for my friendship with you”
”That's a good idea. I'll do the same”
Theia and Kiriha smiled at each other. Their bond had deepened after the incident with the radical faction. And that wasn't just limited to them, but to all of the girls of room 106.
“Your Highness, Kiriha-sama. Master has returned”
”I'm back everyone”
”Good work out there”
“Welcome back, Koutarou”
”The 17th bus has left too”
Koutarou's job was to guide the Forthorthe citizens from here to the bus. Once every bus departed, he returned here to report on the results.
“Kiriha-san, it's only one more, right?”
“That's right, the next bus is the last”
“Alright”
Koutarou nodded and looked at the building at the base. As he did, Forthorthe citizens existed the building. They were the last people to depart and were being guided by Sanae and Shizuka. By the way, Sanae's and Shizuka's job was to lead the people from the building to this place.
“Huh? It seems like Her Majesty Elfaria is coming too”
That was when Ruth spotted Elfaria at the end of the line. She was coming here along with the other Forthorthe citizens. Besides here were Harumi and Clan as well. Harumi and Clan were serving as Elfaria's guards.
“Theia, is El...faria getting on the last bus too?”
”No, that's not on the schedule...”
If Elfaria was going to get on the bus, there would need to be extra guards on the bus, so Theia should have heard about it. Yet she hadn't. Theia shook her head at Koutarou's question.
“I suppose she's just going to see them off”
“Then she would have done so at the start to be equal”
”I'm sure she has some other reason. Once the last bus leaves, we'll be free too”
Koutarou and the others had their jobs as explained, but Yurika and Maki who weren't here had their own jobs as well. They were working as traffic control and should currently be guiding the last bus inside the base from the gate.
Including Yurika and Maki, Koutarou and the others would be free once the last bus left. So it was likely that Elfaria had appeared in relation to that.
“Consider it's Her Majesty, she might want to do something on Earth”
Everyone that had gathered nodded at Ruth's words. Koutarou especially so, as he knew how Elfaria behaved, he couldn't imagine she had come here without reason.
