Intermezzo

Still, Haru wasn't panicked since he could find where Asuka was, but when he thought about it calmly, he felt that this girl's protagonist luck might happen so it was better to leave her alone, considering he might pamper her so much.

After all, Asuka was different from Yuu.

Yuu's power was a power to borrow someone's power and it was also a strong ability since she could use the power of any animal as long as she recorded the genes of those animals on her Genemore Treet. Also with his training, she had become more powerful since she also started to get the power of the insects that she overlooked in the past.

Unlike Yuu who became stronger, Izayoi who was strong from the beginning, and Asagi who was Haru's lover, Asuka's power didn't develop much since she didn't have a treasure of a weapon that she could control since she was practically coming to this world with nothing.

Asuka's power was to control someone, but this girl didn't want to use her power since she thought that her power was evil.

Haru might lend Asuka a Nalakuvera sometimes, but Asuka didn't feel comfortable since it wasn't her own power. He had to admit that this girl was troublesome, but it was because she was troublesome that this girl was cute.

'Well, let's leave her alone.'

Hopefully, Asuka could get something from this trip.

Haru also didn't need to worry too much about this girl since he had marked her so if something happened, he could teleport to her directly.

With that said, they continued their trip until Shiroyasha told them to return to the hotel since there was something that they had to do. After all, they didn't come to the North Side to have a trip, right?

Or were they, probably?

Anyway, it wasn't that they were in hurry and it wouldn't be bad to go to the hotel first to rest.

Still, before that, Haru said, "Leticia, can you find Asuka?"

When Haru's words fell, they only realized that Asuka had disappeared.

"............"

Looking at everyone's reaction, Haru was wondering whether Asuka might be the ancestor of Kuroko Tetsuya.

---

Haru knew that everyone was summoned from a different world and had different timelines. If he wasn't wrong, Asuka's world should be at the time right after WWII, which was pretty unique if he had to say since he didn't expect a heroine would appear during that timeline. Still, he thought that someone that was born in that era would be quite tough or bitter, but she was quite spoiled, showing her nature as a rich girl.

Haru didn't think too much about this since as long as someone didn't cause too much trouble such as destroying various buildings unreasonably, there was no need to think too much and Asuka's background was cuter, compared to all the girls that he had seen in his life since there were a lot of girls that were quite extreme that he had met in his life.

Still, Haru realized that he really hadn't gotten a new girl after he came to this world which made him pretty amazed. However, he felt that it was normal since he usually spent all of his time with Asagi.

Asagi also didn't really want to be parted from him since even though she was quite chatty and very sociable. If possible, she wanted to stay with him all the time, especially when Haru was in his original world instead of in her world.

Anyway, Haru knew that the time he finished his quest would be soon so it was better to start his preparation first.

As they came to the hotel, Shiroyasha suddenly asked Yuu whether she wanted to join a Gift Game or not since her Gift was matched with one of the special Gift Games that were held on this Rise of the Fire Dragon Celebration.

Yuu was surprised, but then she agreed without hesitation.

Still, after that, Shiroyasha looked at Haru and asked, "Haru, can you come with me to meet with the leader of the Salamandra."

"Sure." Haru nodded and didn't mind following Shiroyasha since he knew that he needed to meet the leader of the Salamandra since he felt something weird in this town. Still, with that said, he didn't hesitate and brought Asagi, Shiroyuki, Kuro Usagi, and Izayoi with him since two of them were his woman and Izayoi was someone that would protect this "no-name" community after he had gone so it was better to bring this guy with him.

Kuro Usagi was their mascot so it would be strange if they didn't bring her.

Izayoi, after all, had a strong feeling toward the "no-name" community and it could be said that he was the one who worked the hardest among everyone after knowing that this community was a community of his guardian. After learning that Canaria (Izayoi's guardian) was a member of the "no-name" community, he wanted to make this community became great again and it was also the reason why he helped Haru wholeheartedly since he knew that with Haru's leadership, he knew that the "no-name" community had already on its own way to get its name and flag back!

Haru was about to go, but he noticed four small eyes that were looking at him so he turned and looked at Lily and Jin. "Lily, Jin, you have said that you know the new leader of the Salamandra, right? How about you follow us too?"

"Yes!" Jin nodded and thanked Haru without hesitation.

"Thank you, Haru-nii!" Lily was happy, hugged Haru's leg without hesitation, and her tail was moving right and left, showing how happy she was.

Looking at how cute Lily was, Haru was even more curious about Lily's mother and wondering where she was right now.

---

As Shiroyasha had said before, after they saw Yuu's Gift Game for a moment, they walked directly together to meet the new leader of the Salamandra, Sandora.

Sandora was happy that she could meet the "no-name" community since it had been a while since she saw them.

The relationship between Salamandra and the "no-name" was particularly good since they were an ally in the past before the Demon Lord had attacked the "no-name," but after the attack, their relationship was cut directly.

However, Sandora had heard of the rise of the "no-name" community so without hesitation, she invited this community. She was quite excited about this meeting since she knew that she would meet her childhood friend.

If Salandra was excited, then her older brother, Mandora, could only scoff at the "no-name" community. After all, even the "no-name" community was on the rise and might have defeated Perseus. It might be amazing in the eyes of others, but in Mandora's eyes, he only snorted at Perseus, thinking that Perseus was weak.

Perseus might be a strong community on the East Side, but it was different on the North Side.

The distance between the East Side and the North Side was too huge so it was impossible to know everything about the two sides. After all, unlike Kuro Usagi, who had a connection with the Little Garden Network, it was simply hard to get two far areas to know about each other's news unless someone had a connection with the Little Garden Network.

Sandora wanted to meet the "no-name" community, especially her childhood friend so even though Mandora didn't really want to, he still followed Sandora's words since Sandora was the current leader of the Salamandra and she was also his little sister so he pampered her quite a bit.

"Shiroyasha-sama and Kasugano-sama are coming!"

'Kasugano-sama?' 2x

Sandora and Mandora were confused, but then they remembered that Kasugano was the name of the new leader of the "no-name" community. However, they didn't understand why their people seemed to respect this new leader of the "no-name" community so much?

However, as the door opened, Sandora and Mandora saw Kasugano Haruka and they understood why their people would respect Kasugano Haruka so much.

Still, when everyone was shocked by Haru's appearance, Sandora, the new leader of the Salamandra, had a blush on her cute little face since it was her first time to see someone as handsome as him.
