──Around the time Yuuya won the fierce battle.
At Ousei Academy, Joshua was on his way to the chairman's office.
When he arrived at the chairman's office, he knocked on the door.
"Come in."
"Excuse me!"
"What? Jo-Joshua-sama!"
The chairman, Tsukasa, who had not expected Joshua to come in, opened his eyes wide.
"W-what on earth can I do for you? Could it be? Is it about the marriage?"
"That's one thing. But Kaori rejected me…"
Joshua said. Tsukasa answered while looking at him.
"Y-yes. Kaori has her own feelings, but even if I, as a parent, think that Kaori is not ready for marriage yet…"
"Hmph… Well, that's okay. I've convinced myself of that for now."
"T-Then, is there anything else…"
When Tsukasa asks this, Joshua raises his eyebrows.
"Would you consider sending Kaori on an exchange program?"
"!"
The unexpected suggestion took Tsukasa by surprise.
Then, as if to press him, Joshua continued.
"As you know, there are excellent schools in our country. I would like to welcome Kaori there. What do you think? Wouldn't that be a good idea for Kaori?"
"That's…"
"Kaori's sister and her mother are in our country as well. I think it would be a good idea for Kaori. Of course, you don't have to worry about the costs. I will take care of everything."
"….."
Tsukasa could not find the words to refuse Joshua's suggestion.
In fact, studying abroad would be a good experience for Kaori, and the destination was one of the most prestigious schools in the world.
It was not a school where you could just study abroad because you wanted to.
Joshua also invited Kaori to such a school.
Normally, he would have accepted the invitation with open arms, but since Joshua has asked Kaori to marry him, Tsukasa sensed the underlying motive behind it.
Nevertheless, he could not simply refuse.
Joshua was only proposing that she study abroad, and if there was an environment where she could receive a higher level of education due to the nature of the school, she should connect with that environment.
Joshua's face contorted.
"Most importantly… we need to wake Kaori up as soon as possible."
"Huh? W-what are you talking about?"
When Tsukasa asked this, Joshua's eyes went up sharply.
"I'm talking about that swindler named Yuuya!"
"Yu-Yuuya-kun? And you mean swindler…"
Joshua continued to look dumbfounded at Tsukasa's growing confusion.
"Is Tsukasa being deceived as well! That incomprehensible person is nothing but a swindler!"
"No, that's not true… He's a very good boy."
"What?"
From Tsukasa's point of view, Yuuya was a serious and sincere boy, even if he was a bit shy.
But for Joshua, it was different.
"This is more serious than I expected… I have to hurry and wake up Kaori…!"
Seeing that Tsukasa seriously believed that Yuuya was a good boy, Joshua felt even more strongly that it was bad that he had to get Kaori out of this school.
"Anyway, you will allow Kaori to study abroad, right?"
"That's…"
Even if he wanted to refuse, Joshua's proposal of marriage had already been turned down, and he couldn't refuse a mere offer to study abroad on top of that.
Nevertheless, Tsukasa, who was worried about Kaori, did not want to send her away.
Tsukasa thought about what to do, but then he thought of something.
"In that case, Joshua-sama. I have a favor to ask of you."
"What is it?"
"First of all, is Kaori's study abroad confirmed?"
"Of course. I'm suggesting this because of Kaori. I have no intention of sending anyone else to study abroad."
"I understand. But… is it possible to send one more person to study abroad?"
"What?"
"Since this is an opportunity for a student to study at your prestigious school, I was wondering if you would be willing to send one of our students to study there in addition to my daughter…"
"Hmm…"
Joshua began to think after hearing Tsukasa's words.
Indeed, Tsukasa was right; as long as the program is called "Study Abroad," students other than Kaori should have been given the right to study abroad.
Of course, there was no doubt that Joshua was biased, but it was not good to be too obvious.
Therefore, Joshua was grateful for Tsukasa's suggestion.
"…That would be fine. I'll leave it up to you to decide."
"Thank you!"
While Kaori's study abroad was being secretly decided, Tsukasa was the first to write down Yuuya's name on the list of students to be sent abroad in addition to Kaori.
＊＊＊
After all the battles, we returned to Sage-san's house.
On the way, Master Usagi and the others woke up, but they had lost their strength because of the imprisonment by Shu.
Therefore, I invited them to my house, but they silently refused.
"I couldn't be more grateful to you after what you have done for us this time."
(That is true. After showing all my unworthiness, I can't be taken care of any more…)
"Well, there are plenty of medicinal herbs in my house. Don't worry, it will restore my strength."
"I-is that so?"
"Yes. Besides, Yuuya, you still have things to do, don't you?"
"Huh? Things to do?"
While I tilted my head, not knowing what she was talking about, Iris-san continued.
"Look, the one who came out of the coffin…"
"Ah!"
Yes, I still had that problem!
Iris-san reminded me, and she continued.
"And then Night-kun and the others haven't come back yet, have they?"
"That's right."
As Iris-san said, Night and the others had also disappeared and never returned.
I thought that the problem was solved, but then I was confronted with another problem.
Then Master Usagi gave me a questioning look.
(What, are you involved in something strange again?)
"I-it seems like…"
(You are always busy…)
"…Well, this time, it's in the form of us getting involved. I guess it's similar."
(When you put it like that, I can't say anything back…)
As for Shu's problem, I didn't think I was involved in it.
Actually, I was glad that they relied on me.
Then Master Usagi opened his mouth and let out a sigh.
(Sigh… It doesn't matter. You've already saved my life many times. If you ever need help, don't hesitate to call me.)
"I'll help you too."
"Of course, me too!"
"Thank you!"
After it was decided that Master Usagi and the others would help, Odis-san and the others returned to their homes.
And we also went back to our homes on Earth.
Then Lexia-san came to me with a panicked look on her face.
"Yuuya-sama!"
"Oh, Lexia-san."
"Um, how is our world…"
I smiled to reassure Lexia-san, who had a worried look on her face.
"It's okay. Everything is over."
"Oh… As expected, Yuuya-sama!"
"Hey… Lexia-san!"
I panicked as Lexia-san hugged me tightly.
Then Luna arrived.
"Hey, Lexia! What are you doing?"
"Huh? What?"
"What, you ask? Yuuya's in trouble!"
"No, not at all! Right? Yuuya-sama?"
"No, um…"
I'm in trouble! It was hard to say.
But somehow, thanks to Luna, Lexia-san pulled away, and I took a breath.
"Anyway… It seems like you did a great job again."
"Ahaha… Somehow. More importantly, how are Night and the others…?"
"Unfortunately, they haven't returned yet."
"I see…"
I'm worried, but there was nothing I could do about it now.
However, if the worst comes to the worst, I'll touch the mask and help them as well.
Then, Lexia-san raised her voice as if she had just remembered.
"Oh, yes! Yuuya-sama, that girl has woken up!"
"Eh?"
Surprised by these unexpected words, I was led away by Lexia-san and Luna.
There, I found a woman who had been unconscious before I went to the other world in an awakened state.
Kuuya-san, who was observing the woman's condition, noticed me.
"Hmm? You returned safely, huh?"
"Ah, yes. Well, that person over there…"
"I haven't heard all the details yet, but… is it okay?"
"…Yes."
The woman nodded softly and turned her attention to us.
"First of all, thank you for your help."
"N-no… well, it's not that we helped you, it's more that you just showed up out of the blue…"
We didn't do anything, so it was very strange to be told that we helped her.
"Sorry for the late introduction; my name is Saara."
When Saara-san introduced herself, we introduced ourselves.
Then, with a somewhat gloomy expression on her face, she continued.
"I am… the one who led Moatra."
"Moatra?"
I tilted my head at the unfamiliar word and involuntarily looked at Kuuya-san and Ouma-san.
But they both shook their heads as if they didn't know.
Could it be someone from another world… other than Argena-san?
"I'm sorry… I don't know what that Moatra is…"
"Is that so…?"
Upon hearing my words, Saara-san looked extremely sad.
"….After all, Moatra was destroyed, wasn't it?"
"….."
"Why were you in the coffin?"
Lexia-san asked, and Saara-san laughed sadly.
"That… was created by the people of Moatra and Earth to let me escape."
"Huh?"
I was curious about the "escape" part, but Saara-san had actually said the Earth.
In other words, the Moatra that Saara-san was talking about must have existed on Earth.
From there, Saara-san told us what happened to her.
The content of what she said was not something that I, who live on the same Earth, could believe.
"G-God… existed in this world too…?"
"…Considering the way you speak, have you never seen… God?"
"Yes, that's right. I've never seen Him in this world…"
It's a strange feeling for me since I just fought with Shu, who became a god in another world, but… I've never seen a god on Earth.
Of course, the concept of God existed in religions and ideas, but it was unlikely that anyone had ever seen it.
"If Yuuya doesn't know, then maybe this god is gone?"
When Luna mentioned this, Saara-san shook her head.
"There is no one on this planet who can destroy them except me. So instead of being gone, they are somewhere──"
That was the moment she wanted to say that much.
At that moment, Saara-san turned her eyes in a certain direction as if she had been hit by a bullet.
"This presence… as expected!"
"Um, what in the world──"
"It seems you have a visitor."
"Eh?"
When Ouma-san opened his one eye and told me this, I felt the presence of something coming towards my house.
The presence was… like the same Divine Power that Shu and the others had created.
