Chiyuki.

All eight of us were gathered in the room.

It had been three days since Rage had woken up, and while he had managed to get up, he still wasn\'t in his element. But it would only be a matter of time before he recovered.

With confirmation that Rage was okay, we finally got back to our routine.

Then, we gathered in a room in the temple to discuss the future.

\'\'We should stop defeating the Demon King,\'\'

I say.

\'Why, Chiyuki?\'

Rage voices his doubts.

\'Why? ....... You don\'t think anything of your condition? You almost died.

I say angrily.

Originally I was going to stop the defeat of the Demon King if it was in danger.

Up until now, we were the ones who took their own lives.

But after meeting Dihardt, it turned into a fight for our lives.

Originally, we should have stopped this kind of thing from the beginning.

\'\'I\'m sorry, Chiyuki, but I\'m not going to break my promise to a woman.

Rage says, dressing up.

The words almost make my head bleed.

\'You hey, Sahoko and everyone else was worried you were going to die!　That Dihardt guy is strong!　If you do it again, you could die!

This man is always like that, he would die for a woman.

But this man\'s stupidity has saved me from myself.

That\'s why I stayed with him until now. The same is true for Shirohne and Nao here. It\'s probably because of this man\'s help in the past.

\'I\'m sorry, but I\'m not going to stop helping Raina.

I knew it. This man doesn\'t stop for this kind of thing.

\'You know what, ...... Chiyuki-san, a lot of people are hurting because of the demons. Is it okay to abandon people in need?

This time Reno says.

In the first place, the purpose of this trip was started to help people suffering from the damage of demons.

The Demon King Modes is the king who rules over all the demons in this world. And he has those demons attack humans.

And the Demon King Modes wants to destroy the gods of Elyos and rule this world.

I haven\'t heard this directly from Raina, but it is rumored by people.

We must defeat the Demon King Modes and bring peace to the world. That\'s our goal.

Well, actually, we were just enjoying the adventure, but that\'s what it looks like.

\'That\'s the thing, but is it something we have to do?　It was always this world\'s problem, wasn\'t it?

I think it must be strange for us to solve the problems of this world.

\'It certainly is,\'

It\'s a delicate feeling when Kyouka agrees with me, but that\'s okay.

\'What is this god of Elyos doing working only on us in the first place? I wonder if he won\'t think of moving his own hand?

Some people will look at Kyouka\'s words and say you didn\'t do anything either.

But Kyouka\'s words are also true.

If the Demon King Modes attacked Elyos, it would be the gods who would be in trouble. Why aren\'t they moving?

This had been bothering me a bit as well.

\'Indeed, Kyouka-san has a point.

"Hmm.

Kyouka makes a good face at my words.

\'We\'ll ask her the next time we see Reena-sama. And why the gods don\'t move.

Why do the gods leave the Demon King alone?

If it\'s a trivial reason, I must protest.

\'\'That Chiyuki-sama, if you don\'t mind?\'\'

Now Kaya gives her opinion.

\'What, Kaya?\'

I\'m actually not very good at Kaya. It\'s because she doesn\'t always have an expression on her face, like a Noh mask, and I can\'t tell what she\'s thinking.

And Kaya always talks to everyone else at a distance. That\'s why she gives them names. She doesn\'t feel at ease with any of them.

\'\'In the first place, if we don\'t defeat the Demon King, won\'t he send us home?

Kaya\'s words were nodded by several people. As long as they won\'t send you home, there\'s no way you can stop defeating the Demon King.

I\'m sure we\'ll have to negotiate that point. I\'m not sure that the goddess would do anything to intimidate you, even if she did. I don\'t think she\'ll say she won\'t let you return unless you defeat the demon king.

But that\'s only if Raina is the goddess of compassion as she looks.

\'\'Um~ Chiyuki-san. Can I have a moment?

Now it\'s Silone.

What\'s going on, Mr. White?

\'You know what? What\'s going to happen when we leave? I just wondered if someone else was going to be called in this time: .......

Then someone else will be in a lot of trouble, Syrone said.

\'\'Ummm, you\'re right, that sounds like you\'ve put the trouble on someone else.

Nao agrees with Shirone.

\'That\'s right, Chiyuki. Instead of quitting, you should be thinking of ways to win this time.

I wondered if Rage was right and there was nothing I could do about it after all. But I wasn\'t exempt. Someone could die. Besides, ......

\'But you know what, guys? This time someone might die. Besides, it\'s been six months already. We were family.

I\'m worried about you.

Yes, it\'s been six months. I guess I\'ll have to leave for good.

Everyone falls silent at my words.

\'Sirone. Wouldn\'t you like to see the boy you\'ve known since childhood?

I talk to Shilone.

I can\'t convince them all by myself. You need a comrade.

\'What?　Did you have a man like that in your life, Sirone?

Then Sahoko bites into it.

\'Oh, I don\'t know Sahoko-san~. Shirone has a childhood friend who swore to her future~

\'Hey ...... hey Reno. Kuroki isn\'t like that!

Sirone shouts in protest.

\'I was curious, so I went to see him - at Sirone\'s parents\' dojo. He looked plain and unremarkable, but he was pretty handsome and cool. If it wasn\'t for Rage-san, he would have been pretty popular.

I had only heard about my childhood friend from Shirone, but I had never actually met him.

However, Reno, who is a model, has seen a number of beautiful men. The fact that she\'s quite handsome means that she would be beautiful enough on a general level.

However, because of the presence of Rage in the school, the other boys don\'t stand out. It\'s a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

\'\'Is it good-looking ......?　She\'s definitely got a pretty face, though.

Cyrone nods her head. She doesn\'t seem to think he\'s cool.

\'Heh. ......\'

Rage makes some kind of implied voice.

\'\'Don\'t get me wrong, Le......Rage, you don\'t get it wrong either. It\'s really nothing to do with Kuroki!

Sirone rushes to excuse herself to Rage.

All the girls here have a thing for Rage. Sirone wouldn\'t want to be misunderstood either.

From what I can see, Shirone doesn\'t seem to think anything special about him. If he had a thing for his childhood friend, he wouldn\'t be on Rage\'s side.

However, the childhood friend might like Shirone.

But she wanted to apologize for saying something terrible with her childhood friend before she came here.

\'But Silone. Didn\'t she say she wanted to apologize to her childhood friend?

I ask Cyrone.

\'It\'s ......\'

Shirone stammers.

Lino and Nao lean forward at Sirone\'s words. That profound Sahoko also wants to hear it.

For Sahoko and Lino, they are curious, perhaps because they will have fewer rivals.

\'\'Oh well, guys. We\'ll have to talk to Raina first to find out, won\'t we?　It\'s not too late to think about that, is it?

Rage finishes the story.

\'Eh~\'

Reno says unhappily.

He would certainly have to ask Raina a lot of questions.

In the first place, he had to ask her a lot of questions before he set out on his journey.

Why are the gods of Elyos leaving the Demon King alone?

Do we really have to defeat the Demon King to get him to leave?

Then we had a couple of words and a chat and dismissed.
