[=] Chapter ~ Start [=]
"Phew~! We really wanted to rest right now....!" Yuka sighed out, finally arriving at the lakeside town of Ur, located very close to the Urdea Lake, as if surrounding it.
After two days of a long adventure, sometimes encountering newer types of mana beasts that were easy to deal with when they are together.
Melusine's fighting skills were unbelievable, even when she used a literal fishing rod to rend apart and cut those mana beasts, but Satoru-sensei's skills with the sword can be said that it's way beyond the likes of Kouki or Meld.
They all went to the Water Sprite Inn, that is located just near the lake, where they would rest for a while.
After all, they were all welcomed by the townspeople who, as expected, had celebrated their arrival.
But, as nothing interesting was happening, aside from the taste desserts that Satoru ordered in the Water Sprite Inn, Shimizu decided to ask him boldly.
"Satoru-sensei, what sort of women are you actually interested in? Do you have any fetishes?"
In response, Satoru was nonchalant.
"All sorts of women, big or small. Petite or well endowed. Just not lolis, and anyone under 15 years of age, I'm no lolicon and I don't care if that lady has a body that looks more childlike than petite, I'll deny that girl's advances and I'm not even going to be interested, even if that girl is a 300 or more years old immortal vampire. Fetishes, huh? I'm a breast man, I love the girls with bigger breasts more than those with smaller breasts, I might also have a fetish for maids. Like Melusine, who has a B-cup breast." Then, he proceeded to slowly chomp on the dessert he was having.
"Did you hear all that?" A bystander whispered to another, which made a gossip that Satoru could not care more, especially when his students were also speaking things like "Sensei is truly a cultured man" and some other things.
It wasn't much.
The next days were all about Aiko helping out on improving the crops, and doing the same things routinely, supporting the people on the town.
Although Satoru knew that some people were watching and spying her, he let them be for now, as a few of them were inside the town disguising as townspeople. A few of these were spies from Hölscher, who he thought were ordered to spy on her. And the other few that were probably hidden on the mountains were from the other side of this continent, aka the enemies of this world's mankind, demons.
But, his clone was approaching this town with a familiar kid, and a few of their allies.
They were all heading for the Water Sprite Inn after exiting the jeep that Hajime probably made.

"Good noon, Nagumo Hajime." I said with a soft smile, sitting down on an empty chair in front of him and his partners who were besides him.
"...? How did you know?" Nagumo asked, skeptical towards me while his companions either stared at me blankly or observed me.
"Your face, even if it changed a bit, I could still recognize you. Plus, I see that the betrayal months ago had.... affected you in certain ways." I still kept my smile.
"Look, it's nothing serious, Sensei. All I wanted to do right now is to leave this world with my companions. And if you, or anyone try to stop me, I'll shoot you down." Hajime spoke out, his voice trying to sound threatening at the last part of his sentence whilst pointing a near future revolver towards my face.
Of course, his pointer finger completely said that he wouldn't really shoot.
"Now that I've noticed it.... I should just call you the Edgy Male Najenda With Guns right now. But, as your teacher, I'll allow you to do whatever you want-"
*crash!*
All of us suddenly looked at the direction of the crashing sound, and noticed that my clone had punched the leader of the group that was sent to guard Aiko and me, out of the inn and damaging the wall. As of now, I noticed that he had a metal mask that covered his face.
He silently glared at the knight, while his companion rubbed her ear.
"Daisy! Are you alright?" The blue-white haired rabbit girl shouted, hopping out of the seat she, Najend- Hajime and a vampire girl were sitting on to try and comfort the other rabbit girl now named Daisy.
"I'm fine, sister...." She replied, though she still kept rubbing her ear.
This action of the dark armored KOUKI had not failed to gather attention, though.
"What happened here?" Noboru asked, glaring at the nonchalant KOUKI.
"He hurt my companion. Is that justified enough?"
Things were a bit strange after this incident, but at least not a single fight happened afterwards.
But, them meeting Hajime and me calling him Male Najenda just because of how similar they look, even if he tried to deny it, was not that surprising at all, yet still. His appearance and demeanor change was understandable, but when I told him that Daisuke was suddenly turned into a girl a few days later, he choked on his spit.
Anyways.....
I still have some things to do, such as going alone with Melusine to the mountains on the north just because I sensed something that might have interested me a bit.
And that relates to the fact that everyone in this world thought that dragons are completely nonexistent in this world.

Tio Klarus crawled weakly to the deeper part of the cave that was hidden by a waterfall. And while most of her blood was washed away by said waterfall, the injuries she had gained were serious and needed to be treated right now.
".... Those winged bastards.... they exploited my tiredness to injure me this much...." She coughed out as some blood was sent down to the cold ground.
In fact, she feared that if she died now, she wouldn't be able to complete her mission, and even avenge her parents.
But, she was too injured, too tired, and most of her mana has been exhausted from an earlier battle with a few apostles.
She could stop herself from bleeding using healing magic, but it wouldn't be long before all hope is lost....
