As Kaijin and Noin were tucking into Alice's food, those who had gathered in front of the church in the Kingdom of Symphonia were beginning to disperse.
　When Alice's alter ego informed them that Fea's case had been resolved, those who were there had a relieved look on their faces.

It's a good thing he's done so well...hmmm...that guy...he's just like me.
No.
It's a shame. Well, that's fine. It's not my way of forcing myself to do things.　You're a lot stronger than you used to be, aren't you?
Is that right?　I really feel like that when His Majesty Laguna tells me that.

　When the situation had settled down, Laguna spoke to Lilia, who is a familiar face, and Lilia also replied with a bitter smile.
　It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about it.

It's not necessary to be humble. It's a good thing that young people grow up so fast.
Your Majesty Laguna is the one who humbles himself but I am nowhere near as good as you. If luck is on our side and we can come up with a draw, that would be great.
"Ho-ho-ho.......so you want to fight me now?
'I don't mind, Your Majesty Laguna, but do you have business to attend to?
Ugh.........that's not.......

　Seeing Lilia growing up from when they fought before, Laguna, whose blood was boiling as a warrior, suggested a hand-match, but Lilia asked back in a calm tone.

''........Didn't you sneak out again?　Aren't your men desperate to find them by now?
I'll have to go home. I'll get nosy again if I'm too late.

　As Lilia had imagined, Laguna had slipped out of the royal castle without saying anything, and even though it was the usual thing... no, he knew that his subordinates would get petty with him because it was the usual thing.
　Laguna let out a sigh with a gulp of his shoulders, then re-carried his great spear and left with a wave of his hand.

　After looking off after her, Lilia spoke to Lunamaria and Sieglinde, who were waiting nearby.

''........Shall we go back, too?
'Yes ... but, um, miss?　What was it all about this time?　I understand that Dr. Fear is involved, but I'm not sure of the specifics.
''Actually, I don't know all the details... well, we'll ask her when Kite-san comes back.
''Hmmm, what is it? This situation, the formation, the people gathered.......and with Kite-san involved.......isn't this something that would cause Lili to faint again?
'Well don't say anything sinister, Zeke. Well, it's okay. Kite, you've already met the Sixth King and the Supreme God, you've briefly greeted the God of Mischief this time, you've met His Majesty Laguna in this case..................There's no way that there's anything else outrageous about it.

　Receiving Sieglinde's words, which she announced anxiously, Lilia said as if to herself, and a slightly drawn-out smile appeared on her face.

''........Actually, the surviving Demon King was aiming at Fea-sensei. Or maybe?
"Hmmm, it would be important if the Demon King were alive or something... but then there would be no reason to fight Zechs-sama and the others, so it's probably something to do with the Dark Lord?
'Ah, that sounds most likely.

　Lilia laughed off Lunamaria's statement, which was actually a near-pin, and went back to the mansion, calling out to Anima and the others as well.
　Not expecting Sieglinde's ominous premonition to become a reality later on....









　After Lilia and the demon race left, Zechs and Sia, who remained until the end, exchanged words lightly with each other.

''........However, as I thought, Miyama-dono is amazing. To gain so many allies, including you........
"I'm not on his side. In fact, I don't 'hate' him.
'Oh?　Is that right?　But for all that, you seemed to be helping out quite enthusiastically, didn't you?
''Well that's ridiculous. That human bows down to lend a helping hand, so I'm just trying to help out.
'Doesn't that mean you have a favorable opinion of Lord Miyama?

　Shea tells him that she doesn't like the pleasant man, and Zechs asks her if she responded to his request for help because she was desirable.
　Then Shea let out a big sigh and opened her mouth as she turned her back to Zechs and started walking away.

''........Great Sage of the Dead Spirit. Let me tell you one thing.''
Huh?
Feelings are not a simple positive or negative thing. The opposite of liking isn't disliking... There are complicated emotions in the world, such as 'I don't like it, but I like it, and I like it, but I don't like it'.
Well then, who is Miyama-dono to you?

　

If there's a next time I can lend you a hand again.
'Oh, well that's the thing - in short, you say a lot of things out loud, but you like it, don't you?
...What does that say about what you're doing now to get that idea?
''No, no matter how I heard it, all I heard was that you were evaluating Lord Miyama... Oh, I see!
...Yeah?

　While Shea's tone clearly changes to an irritated tone, Zechs claps his hands as if he suddenly thought of something while speaking in an aloof tone.

'..........That's what it is, isn't it? This is the rumored 'tsundere' thing.
"...What?　It's not. What are you talking about....
You say you don't like it, but actually....
'How could it be?　I don't like him....
But you like it too, don't you?
What?

　
　However, Zechs continues to speak with an amused smile.

''No~ Miyama-dono is a lucky man. I didn't know even the God of Mischief liked you...''
Uh-uh, shut up!　I'm telling you, I'm not!　Die!　d*mn skeletons!
'Oh, oh!　Hey, hey!

　Shea, whose face was becoming redder and redder, turned on her heel and headed towards Zechs with the scythe she had taken out at some point.
　In order to impose sanctions on Rich, who has no delicacy........
