When everyone arrived at the class, Haru raised his eyebrow when he glanced at Shin, who pretended to show a melancholy and complex expression on his face while looking outside the glass window. He wondered why Shin needed to do this, and he had to admit that this guy was like an open book, but at the same time, he noticed someone's presence on the rooftop that was observing Shin, which made him only shake his head once again.
Haru wondered how a villain could be so dumb that he would come to the school to observe Shin. He looked at Shin and decided to ask, "Shin, what's wrong?"
Shin turned his head and looked at Haru, who was asking him this question. "Well, there's something that is bothering me."
"Something has bothered you?" August raised his eyebrows.
"Is it so easy to become a devil?" Shin asked with doubt.
August's expression started to change, and he was then in deep thought. "I see..."
Unlike Lynn and Yuri, who knew what had happened based on their conversation with Haru last time, both weren't that surprised, but rather they were surprised that everything would go according to Haru's talk. He told them that Shin would start to show a complex expression when they were at the school, then started to talk to everyone about his doubt for a devil that appeared in the academy, which made them shake their heads. When they looked at everyone's expression, they could only shake their heads since they were all also moved according to what Haru said before.
"Shin, you mean someone has artificially created that devil?" Haru asked directly.
Hearing Haru's words, everyone was startled. After all, no one had ever thought that a demon or a devil could be created artificially. Still, when they thought the last time a devil had appeared, they also felt that it was impossible for Kurt to become a devil. After all, for someone to become a devil, they needed a huge amount of magic, and Kurt wasn't like that. As for the previous devil that appeared decades ago, he was a powerful magician who had lost control of his magic, then became a devil, so there was no way Kurt would become a devil on his own since it was practically impossible.
Yuri and Lynn also knew about this matter. Still, Haru told them to keep quiet about this until they came to the school, and even if they told the kingdom, they might not believe it since their prestige wasn't enough, and he told them to leave everything to Shin since August would believe Shin without hesitation. Looking at both Shin and August, both of them were wondering whether they had such a relationship. If so, all they could do was wish for their happiness as their classmates.
Hearing Haru's words, Shin nodded with a serious expression and said, "Yes, I've heard from grandpa that a devil or a demon will lose all of his reasons and are only able to howl. But when Kurt turned into a devil, he could still speak. Plus, when I fought him, he was surprisingly weak."
".....Devil was weak?"
"When we put these things together, I wonder if Kurt was used in some kind of human experiment," Shin said.
"Wha--?!"
Everyone was in shock, except for Haru, Yuri, and Lynn, but Yuri and Lynn showed a shocked expression since what had happened in this class was the same as what Haru had told them before, which made them in shock. Both of them looked at their man and had a feeling that if this guy wanted to unite the continent, then it might be possible.
On the other hand, Haru was really shocked at how cliche the plot was, which made him quite helpless.
"Oh, right, Kasugano-kun," Shin suddenly asked.
"What's wrong, Shin?" Haru looked at Shin curiously.
"Both my grandpa and grandma have invited you to visit them. Is that alright with you?" Shin asked.
"What?!"
The one who was in shock wasn't him, but it was Yuri, Lynn, Sicily, and Maria.
Haru looked at the four girls speechlessly, but he had to admit that the prestige of the Wise Man and the Guru was still huge in this kingdom, but for him? Even though he didn't show that much excitement, he was still interested in the Guru's knowledge, and from the excitement of both Yuri and Lynn, he knew that he needed to accept it.
"When?" Haru asked calmly.
"If you're free, you can go to my house after school," Shin said without hesitation.
"Then can I bring..." Haru looked at both Yuri and Lynn, but Maria and Sicily also looked at him with a hopeful expression. "Can I bring the four of them, Shin?"
Shin didn't expect Sicily to come to his house, but at the same time, he was happy, so he agreed without hesitation. "Sure."
"Thank you, Haru!" 4x
Lynn and Yuri quickly hugged Haru, and Maria and Sicily were also grateful to him.
"......." Shin.
Shin wasn't sure why, but he felt quite complex at that moment.
August raised his eyebrow when he heard that both the Wise Man and the Guru wanted to meet Haru, and of course, it made him curious, after all, Haru was from the Els, if Haru was just a commoner, then he wouldn't think too much, but his identity wasn't lost compared to him. He didn't want to be left behind, so...
"Right, Shin, Kasugano, I also have something to talk about with you," August said.
Haru looked at Shin and asked, "Then please say, Your Highness."
"......." August was speechless since Haru didn't follow the script, since, on the script, he should follow them, right?
"Yes, what's wrong, Aug?" Shin also asked curiously.
August gritted his teeth and said, "The royalty have decided to give you a reward for protecting the capital from the kingdom, so is there something that you want?"
"What? Reward?" Shin was startled.
August looked at Shin with a smile and said, "Yes, I'm sorry that we can't give you a medal or something more, after all, we're going to give the feat of defeating the devil to the army, so I have to say sorry to the two of you."
"No, no." Shin quickly shook his head and said, "You don't need to, and it is something that I have to do. After all, I can't let something like a devil appear in this kingdom, right?"
"Shin..." August was moved by Shin's kindness but still said, "No, whether it is money, land, or something, please tell us, we'll give it to you."
Shin wanted to refuse, but...
"Then, Your Highness, can you give me a land near the beach or a port?" Haru said without hesitation.
"......." August looked at Haru with a frown, but he nodded. "Yes."
"Good." Haru thanked August and didn't care about August's expression since, in his mind, this guy was a child who had never received the lesson from the society, then looked at Shin and said, "Shin, you should accept it, after all, don't you want your own house in the future? In the future, you might have a family, and a house is necessary, right?"
August quickly nodded at Haru's words and said, "Yes, Shin, if you want, we can give you the same mansion as both the Wise Man and the Guru."
"Well..."
In the end, Shin agreed under Haru's persuasion.
Haru wasn't sure how big the land was, but he hoped that the kingdom wouldn't be so petty by giving him a small land size.
