As usual, Haru, Lynn, and Yuri went to school together with Maria and Sicily. After all, he had promised to protect Sicily from the stalker. Hence, everyone went to the school together, and there was nothing special, but if something asked whether there was a change, then probably, it was Lynn who knew Haru's real appearance without his glasses.
Lynn had to admit that his man needed to wear glasses all the time since, without it, she was worried that all the women in the kingdom would be mesmerized by him, so she also agreed with Yuri's decision who told him to wear his glasses all the time when they were outside. She also had to admit the new game that she played last night was very interesting. She wondered whether she could play that game again, or maybe Haru had a new game that was more interesting?
Lynn really anticipated it!
Maria and Sicily were girls, so both of them noticed that the relationship between Haru, Yuri, and Lynn became even closer, which made them wonder what had happened last night and how could it be
Haru had to admit that his stay in this world was slightly boring since it was so peaceful. If Yuri and Lynn weren't on his side, then he might not be able to hold on and wanted to end the quest as soon as possible.
Haru had eight quests that he needed to complete in this world, and he had completed five quests, which left him with three quests: defeating 10 devils, protecting the Swedes Kingdom, and defeating Shin Wolford.
For the devils, Haru hadn't seen it before and had only seen a demon, and of course, because of that, he had completed his quest to defeat 100 demons.
'But where's the fucking devil?'
Haru hoped that a demon would appear as soon as possible since everything was too peaceful in this world.
As for the Swedes Kingdom, Haru saw that this kingdom was very peaceful and didn't have any trouble or anything, so he ignored it for a while, and as for Shin Wolford, he decided to ask Shin a duel once seven of his quests ended.
Haru wondered when trouble came, and when such a thought occurred on his mind, the trouble really came.
"Kurt has been grounded?!" Sicily, Yuri, Maria, and Lynn were surprised.
August nodded and said, "Yeah. Apparently, the Rietsburg family contacted the academy this morning."
But then...
"What's wrong, Kasugano-kun?" August looked at Haru, who raised his hand.
"Who is Kurt?" Haru asked with confusion.
"...."
Maria twitched her lips and asked, "How can you forget him?! He's the one who has been bothering Sicily, and because of that, you have decided to protect her, right?"
Haru instantly remembered who Kurt was and said, "You should know that he hasn't appeared in front of us for the past few days, and you didn't even introduce me to his name." He felt that Kurt was only a minor character, so he didn't even bother to remember him, and he told them was the truth since before Kurt said something cruel to Sicily before, he hushed him with hypnotism.
Someone as weak as that, Haru didn't feel that it was necessary to remember him.
"...." Sicily and Maria were silent since Haru told the truth since they didn't even tell him Kurt's name.
"I know that you're dissatisfied since it seems that I don't care about you, but that isn't true. I care about both of you since you two are my classmates," Haru said.
"..." Sicily and Maria weren't sure why, but the word "classmates" on Haru's mouth made them gloomy.
"Still, why does Kurt have such an attitude?" Haru asked curiously.
Shin was also curious and looked at August, Thor, and Julius.
"Honestly, we're at a loss, ourselves."
"We went to the same middle school as him, but his behavior was never anything like that."
"He was pretty sure of himself, but he was always a normal student."
August, Thor, and Julius tried to recall why Kurt started to change.
"He did start acting differently after he started going to Mr. Schtrom's lab," Thor said.
"Come to think of it, you're right," August said.
"Schtrom?" Haru asked and knew that this guy might be a villain in this world.
Thor then explained that the professor was transferred to their middle school during his third year, and he told them that Schtrom was a magic teacher exiled from the Empire. He told them that this teacher was directly inviting everyone, even one who could only use half-asset magic, but they rejected his offer since this teacher seemed fishy.
"He might be blind since he has a patch covering his eyes, but he acted normally," Thor said.
"So no one has ever seen his eyes?" Haru asked with a frown.
"What's wrong, Haru?" Yuri asked with wonder since Haru started to frown.
"Nothing." Haru shook his head and knew that this wasn't a place to talk about what was inside his mind since he thought that Schtrom might be a devil, based on the plot of the cliche story.
On the other hand, Shin lowered his head and thought about what Thor had said before.

At lunch, everyone went to the cafeteria together, Haru looked at Sicily, and Maria then asked, "Kurt has been grounded, and I'm sure that he won't trouble you again, but even so, do you still want to go to school together?"
It wasn't Sicily, who answered, but it was Maria.
"Haru, you already have both Lynn and Yuri, but you still want Sicily? Aren't you greedy?" Maria snorted, thinking that this guy was a bad guy.
"Rather than Sicily, I'm more interested in you, Maria," Haru said with a smile.
"Wha--?!" Maria was startled and blushed.
"I was joking." Haru smiled and said, "Both Yuri and Lynn are enough for me after all." He needed to say that since he could see that both Yuri and Lynn were staring at him, and as expected, his answer caused them to smile.
"Haru, you bastard?!" Maria was mad and jumped into Haru's back, strangled his neck with his hands, and clamped his waist with her legs.
Haru could feel Maria's breasts on his back, and it made him wonder how this girl could be so wild. "You're a lady. How can you do something like this?"
"I don't care!" Maria felt very annoyed by this guy and wondered whether her charm was zero in his eyes.
"Even if I feel your breasts on my back?" Haru asked simply.
"....."
Yuri and Lynn quickly pulled Maria away, but Sicily somehow felt slightly lonely.

Haru's group was something that everyone was jealous of. After all, on his side, there were four beautiful girls. If this guy was a handsome dude, then they might understand, but this guy's face was so average that they would forget him, which made them wonder how there had always been a lot of girls around him.
"I've always wondered how can there be a lot of girls around you?" August directly asked and looked at Haru's face since he felt more handsome than Haru.
"Your Highness, do you open a harem? If so, do you want me to introduce you to a girl in the Els?" Haru asked.
"Your Highness! The girls at the Earlshide Kingdom are better!" 2x
Thor and Julius quickly said at the same time.
"...." August forgot that he had always lost against Haru, which made him helpless, and he also looked at his two personal guards that were stupid enough to believe Haru's words.
Haru didn't want to talk about his girls. Still, he could see that Shin was interested. After all, he knew that out of all the males in the S-Class, only Shin Wolford, who was still single and the rest had their own lovers already, so he quickly changed the topic by asking Shin about how both the Wise Man and the Guru taught him, of course, this topic caused a lot of curiosity in the eyes of everyone, and as expected, when Shin explained to them, everyone was startled and dumbfounded several times, after all, what Shin did was pretty much something that a normal people couldn't do.
There were a lot of deeds that Shin told them, such as hunting a demon when he was still 10 years old, creating magic, etc., which somehow made their minds numb.
"....." Haru looked at Shin and thought that this guy was quite naive, right? But he didn't intend to say anything about it since Shin's trouble was caused by himself.
After they ate, they started another class, but they were a bit lazy since the class was about the study group orientation. If they didn't join the Ultimate Magic Research Society, then they might be interested, but they had joined one after all.
Haru talked with Yuri and Lynn, but suddenly he raised his eyebrow, but he didn't say anything since he didn't want to be the center of attention, and he also could see that Shin had already noticed something.
"Kurt!" Shin was in shock and looked at Kurt, who was chanting his magic toward their direction!
Hearing Shin's words, everyone was also startled and looked in Shin's direction before seeing a huge flame that was about to engulf them!
