168-Episode 168 After all




So, Julia. What about the rest?
'Ummm ... what should I do? What do you think of the seniors?

 Currently, the three of us are in the cafeteria.

 Me, my senpai, and Katherine are seated together.


Well ... yes.
''So I guess the rest of us should choose from something other than the special class anti-magicians... but isn't this the kind of thing that the higher-ups usually think about?''
But Princess Liane asked me to look for her there too. I think it's working.
Okay. Well, okay. We'll just go to Liane's.
Are you sure?
Okay. I need to talk to you about something.

 So the three of us headed back to Princess Liane.

 I heard that she is currently in the same conference room as before. So as the three of us were walking again, Catherine was staring at my face.

''.......What's wrong?''
No. But there's something strange about Julia.
"...? Um... what...?
Well, you never know.
Yeah?

 And with that, we walked back into the conference room.

'Oh. I knew it was going to happen.
You knew...
Well, I'm sorry, was that an intervention?
'No, it's not that... well, it's fine, but it's kind of pissing me off that you can see right through me. So that's what you mean, isn't it?
Yes. Actually, I had already made my choice from the beginning.

 My seniors and Princess Liane start to talk like that and I pout at the last words I hear.

'What? You mean.........you want me to go find you?
'I actually knew from the beginning that this was going to happen. I'm sure he's going to bring Eira...
So that means...
Yes. The four of us here will be on our way.

 Smiling with a smile, Princess Liane said that without taking offense to anything, as if to say that this was natural.

 Let's see........what are my difficulties?

 


'Well, I think I have a commander, or rather someone I can talk to. The two of you are actually meant to be my guards. In fact, in the land of the succubus, I'll do the negotiations and such, so you don't have to worry about it.
''Well that would help, but do you mind if the royals leave?''
I'm, well I'm already involved in a lot of things here. And besides, for Belle I'm willing to do whatever I can to help, I think.


 I felt my heart burn in my chest as I heard those words.

 Not much time has passed since Mr. Bell passed away. Time will heal people's deaths one day. In the beginning, the scars that remain as if they were gouged out of your heart will eventually fade away... and become memories.

 But our hearts are still not completely healed.

 

 I remember what I did to her that day.

 And to know that Princess Liane is able to move forward and not lose herself is a great joy.

'Then we shall head out on our own. Our departure is the day after tomorrow. Each of you, please be ready to go.
Yes, sir!


 Thus, the three of us would be taking Katherine to Succubus Country.
