“Emilia, I’ll save you.” Seji said as he was heading towards her.

“No, Save Reina brother.” Emilia said.

Seji turns around and Reina was there being held by some soldiers.

Suddenly Seji woke up breathing heavily.

“That was a dream.” Seji said to himself. He looked around and noticed Mei and Reina weren’t there.

He stood up and headed to Bathroom, but it was locked.

“You both taking bath?” Seji asked.

“Yea. Please wait sometime.” Mei’s voice came from other side of bathroom door.

“Fine.” Seji said and went to lie on his bed again. He laid on his bed thinking, “I want to get out of this miserable world.”

After some minutes, Mei and Reina came out of bathroom being all dressed.

“Go take bath now.” Mei said.

“Going.” Seji said and stood up to get his cloths from wardrobe.

He got his usual black shirt, pant, and red jacket and head to bathroom for a bath.

Seji went and sat in bathtub. He raised his arm and looked at his fist.

“What have I become.” Seji said to himself and after some minutes he got out of bathroom wearing his cloths.

Mei and Reina were sitting on bed and Serina was standing.

“Morning, Serina.” Seji said and went to put his cloths in wardrobe.

“Morning, Seji.” Serina said.

“What calls you here?” Seji asked.

“She came to inform that we should head down.” Mei said.

“Yes, that.” Serina said.

“What happen?” Seji asked.

“To go to Niuinaire.” Serina said.

“Oh.” Seji said and looked at Reina and turned back to wardrobe.

“Hey Serina. Do you think I’m to blame too?” Seji asked.

“I believe it would have happened either way. We can’t blame you or anyone for what have happened. But remember not to repeat these mistakes.” Serina said.

“I see. Thank you.” Seji said.

“Mhm. I’ll go back now. Please go downstairs fast.” Serina said and left the room.

“I told you, it's not your fault.” Reina said.

“Yea. Let’s go.” Seji said and they head downstairs.

“Morning, everyone.” Seji said.

“Hey guys.” Freda said.

“Hey Freda.” Seji said.

“Morning. They were waiting for you.” Master said.

“Sorry for being late.” Seji said.

“It's alright. Just come.” Reiz said.

Reiz, Freda and Ariel were standing there.

“What about Egan and Rune” Seji asked.

“Rune is coming, but Egan isn’t going. He refused to go.” Master said.

“I see...” Seji said in sorrow.

“But, don’t worry others are going with you.” Master said.

“Mhm” Seji said.

“ Good luck.” Master said.

“Thanks master.” Seji said.

“Morning.” Rune said coming down from stairs.

Ariel didn’t speak anything.

“Morning Rune.” Mei said.

Everyone's face was still filled with sorrows except Rune, He was best in hiding feelings.

"Morning." Seji and Mei said.

“By the way, I forgot to tell you something.” Rune said to Mei.

“What?” Mei asked.

“What you did in fight with Bluebell. Don’t do that again. That was straight out of stupidness. Our blood generates faster but still, you could die.” Rune said.

“Mhm. Sorry.” Mei apologized to Rune.

“It's alright. Let’s go.” Rune said.

“Hey Rune.” Freda said.

“Hey Freda.” Rune said.

“Before..we go. I want to say something...” Reina said reluctantly.

“What’s that Rei?” Seji asked.

“I want to apologize to you all. It's my fault that Emilia isn’t with us anymore. But, please don’t blame Seji. It's not his fault.” Reina said and bowed.

A moment of silence came.

“It's alright. I don’t blame any of you. It's sad that Emilia isn’t with us anymore, but blaming anyone would create more problems and as Master said, If Emilia saw Seji getting blamed she won’t be happy at all.” Rune said.

“That's true. I don’t blame Seji or you for her. What happened is in the past. Let's put it in our bag and move forward.” Reiz said.

Ariel stood silent.

“I agree with Reiz. As a matter of fact I saw everything and I can confirm it was as much hard as for him as it is for rest of you guys.” Freda said.

Seeing them like that, Seji's eyes got teary.

“I’m sorry you guys. I couldn’t protect her. I’m sorry Ariel, I couldn’t protect her. Forgive me...” Seji said.

Master looked at Ariel and signed her to say something.

“I... forgive you... I’m sorry that I said too much to you as well.” Ariel said.

“So, everyone is friends again?” Rune asked.

“Yea." Reiz said.

“Mhm.” Freda said.

“Though, I want to hear more stories like JoJo.” Reiz said.

“For sure...” Seji said and bowed.

“JoJo?! Here too!?” Freda said.

“Go fast, you guys will miss otherwise.” Master said.

“Oh yea.” Rune said.

“ Let’s go.” Freda said and opened the portal to Niuinaire's palace.

They walked out of the portal and reached in front of Castle.

The city and palace was all decorated.

“Welcome to the palace, I’m the chief Maid. Please proceed to The Grand Arena, by riding in this cart. King is waiting you there.” Maid said and pointed out to a cart.

A royal cart which was very long, could fit 10 people inside easily came.

“That’s long.” Reiz said.

“That’s what she said.” Freda said and smirked

Everyone looked at Freda with a disgusted out look except Seji.

“What!?! Don’t look at me like that. I was just trying to make environment lighter.” Freda said.

Seji started laughing.

“I’m sorry. But, that’s a pun in our world.” Seji said while laughing.

Everybody looked at Seji and chuckled. Except Ariel had an uneasiness on her face.

“At least someone laughed.” Freda said.

“Let’s go you guys. Stop it.” Rune said with a smile, and they headed to the cart.

Seji and others went inside, it.

“When you see king, make sure you all bow.” Rune said.

“He’s not our king.” Reiz said.

“He called us for honoring us, we shouldn’t be disrespectful.” Rune said.

“Okay.” Seji said.

After a few minutes, The cart enters the Arena.

It was 20 if not 30 times larger than that of Gines town.

“Sir, we have reached inside the Arena.” The driver said.

Rune and others went out of Cart and See Andrea was sitting on throne with a crown on his head.

The cart returned and Rune, and everyone bowed in front of king.

The audience sitting also bowed.

Thousands if not Millions were bowing to Andrea.

“Markus, please.” Andrea said.

“Right away, Prince.” A Magician in cloths of butler replied and enchanted, “Increase.”

“It's pleasure having all the people here, I want to introduce you all to my friends. Lift your heads people and see the heroes of the country.” Andrea said. His voice was hearable to everyone because of the butler's magic.

Everyone lifted their heads and started cheering for Andrea and Heroes i.e. Rune and others.

“Should we lift our head too?” Reiz whispered.

“No, not yet.” Rune replied.

“Rune Bloodsaw come forward.” Andrea said.

“Look what I do closely.” Rune said and lifted his head and went towards Andrea.

And Bowed again.

“May the blessing be with you.” Andrea said and put his hand over Rune's head.

Andrea lowered his hand, Rune kissed his hand.

“Stand up.” Andrea said.

“Yes, My Lord.” Rune said and stood up.

The butler Markus brought a ring near Andrea.

Andrea picked the ring and asked Rune to wear it.

“It is one of the strongest Ring, known as the Lika. With Lika you can use special blood type magic and was once used by the first Vampire King. Returning this back to The Royal family of Vampire. This may be safe with you.” Andrea said.

The audience started applauding and cheering.

“Next, Reiz. May you come forward.” Andrea called for Reiz.

Reiz goes and bows again.

“May the blessing be with you.” Andrea said and blessed Reiz. He put his hand in front of Reiz to kiss.

Reiz kisses the hand.

“Stand up.” Andrea said.

“Yes. Your Highness.” Reiz said and stood up.

The butler Markus brought a staff this time. The staff looked old and rusty.

“Some Treasure hunter adventurers found this at the ocean bed of the North Black Sea. They came back, and my father bought it. My father said that only a legendary water magic wielder could use this. This is supposedly the Legendary staff of Alanta. The legendary water mage, who was said to be ruler of a lost prosperous land of Regulas. Many tried decoding the carvings on the staff, According to some, the carvings said that Only strongest can wield but according to others it said it will bring only death and misfortune. After hearing this I’ll ask you, will you take this staff as appreciation or not? Of course, I have something else to give you too with this if you don't like it that is.” Andrea said.

“I’ll gladly Accept this. Your highness.” Reiz said.

“May you be Successful.” Andrea said and handed the staff to Reiz.

The staff’s rust started evaporating into thin air on Reiz's touching.

Andrea was surprised.

“Amazing! I expected nothing less from you.” Andrea said.

The audience was amazed too.

The staff revealed beautiful small blue diamonds welded into staff and beautiful golden line going along with them.

“Here is something else too.” Andrea said.

“I think you have already done more than enough, Lord.” Reiz said.

“If you say so.” Andrea said. Reiz walked to Rune who was standing in the room behind king.

“Let’s wait others.” Rune said.

“And the dearest of all who amazed me completely. Mei Hazel, may you come forward.” Andrea said.

Mei stood up and went ahead and bowed down.

“May god bless you.” Andrea blessed and forwarded his hand to be kissed.

Mei kisses the hand.

“Stand up Mei.” Andrea said.

“Yes, My lord.” Mei said and stood up.

Markus came ahead with a dagger this time.

"My father was fond of ancient vampire weapons he also got this beautiful dagger. I’m not shameful to say the owner of this Dagger was Cronos, the legendary Blood control Vampire from Vampire kingdom who fought single handed against a whole Army of Cloesseam during Cloesseam invasion. They say he used this dagger with his one handed sword and fought them all until he was killed mercilessly.” Andrea said.

“Thank you, My Lord.” Mei said and got the dagger.

“I may have given the dagger, but it was kept safe so no one knows how to use it. Some believe if a blood magic user pours a little blood of his own it will make the blood control more fierce and strong while some believe this dagger eats blood and with more blood it gets the more stronger it makes user.” Andrea said.

“I’ll use it for the right.” Mei said and went ahead.

“Ariel Esriel. May you come forward please.” Andrea said.

Ariel went ahead and bowed.

Andrea gave her blessing and Ariel kissed his hand.

Ariel stood up on Andrea’s call.

Markus brought a necklace forward.

Andrea picked the necklace. The necklace was made from metal and had angel wings.

“The necklace is said to be blessed by Archangels themselves.” Andrea said and gave necklace to Ariel.

“Thank you, My lord.” Ariel said and wore the Necklace and went ahead.

“Freda Huan come forward.” Andrea said.

Freda went ahead and bowed. Andrea gave her blessing, and Freda kissed Andrea's hand.

Markus brought another ring, this one had a black diamond.

“Spatial magicians are very rare. And so are their accessories. This is the black diamond from the cave of Rokania. The cave is said to be found, where no life exist. Again some treasure hunters found it and sell us. This black diamond is supposedly great for Spatial attribute. It increases the speed of opening portals and increases limits as well. Use it well.” Andrea said.

“Yes, Your highness.” Freda said and took ring and went forward.

Only Seji and Reina were remaining.

“Seji and Reina, Both of you may come ahead.” Andrea said.

Seji and Reina went ahead and bowed.

Andrea blessed them both with one hand on Reina's head and other on Sejis. He let Seji and Reina kiss his hands and told them to stand up.

“Yes, My lord.” They both replied and stood up.

Markus brings a Katana of Blue color.

“This is for Reina, the Godly Katana made by Nakai Eizan, at the time of Holy-Demonic war. And gave it to that time Emperor of Kinsho, namely Lord Asano Naokata. I found out that you loved these Katanas so, I got one.” Andrea said and handed the katana to Reina.

“Thank you, Lord.” Reina said and thought, “They feel familiar.”

“And Seji, since not much is known about your magic type, here take this.” Andrea said and Markus brought a necklace, the necklace had a little Piece of sapphire hanging from it.

“This red sapphire is said to be from Hell. They say it fell from one of Prince of Hell during the Holy-Demonic war. But other than that, the origins are shady.” Andrea said.

“I don’t know why would I wanna wear Sapphire necklace of someone else but fine.” Seji muttered.

“Huh?” Andrea said.

“I meant thank you, Lord Andrea.” Seji said, and they try to walk to room but Andrea stops.

“May all heroes come outside now.” Andrea said.

Rune and others came out of the room in front of prince.

“If you have any other wishes they will be granted.” Andrea said.

“We have none, Lord Andrea.” Rune said.

“I do.” Seji said.

“Don’t be Greedy now, Seji.” Mei said.

“What is it?” Andrea asked.

“Alfonzo used some kind of Magic to trap Reina's memory and made another core for her memory. Now she doesn't remember anything from past. I want to have the cure for that.” Seji said.

Mei got silent.

“Ah, I will do whatever I can to help you.” Andrea said.

“Okay, Lord.” Seji replied.

“I have something else to show you guys too now.” Andrea said.

“What that might be, lord.” Rune said.

“Why don’t you see it with your own eyes. Markus, bring the cart please.” Andrea said.

“Yes, Mi lord.” Markus said and called a cart.

The same big cart came, and they went in, this time Andrea and Markus also went in the cart.

The cart started heading to the destiny, while Seji asked Andrea, “Hey Andrea, what exactly happened after we left?”

“Happened was, when I woke up in my room. Maids filled me in about what happened. I rushed to calm people who were being rebellious, and they asked me to be king, after that I went to brother and noticed he was in bed being healed. So, I told him, I’m not under any possession and...

*In Andrea's memories.*

“Brother, because of your wicked judgement we lost many men including our S class. This is an unforgivable thing, The kingdom of Niuinaire separated from Galahaeim to protect people and not to harm anyone. Under your lead our army increased, under your stupidity you kidnapped someone's lover and killed their precious friend. This is absolutely rigged and as the younger prince I take the place of king, no prince will run the country now. I'm sorry, I'm claiming the title of king. Only I as king will rule Niuinaire..." Andrea said.

"You are pos-

"STOP IT!! STOP IT... Stop it.. I loved you when we were younger you weren’t like this. We took pledge for peace. But then what happened.” Andrea said with teary eyes.

“Peace...? I just wanted to make it better for Niuinaire and extract revenge on Galahaeim. Do you even know how many people they killed during The Separationist movements? Hundreds if not millions died. A genocide for which culprits were never punished.”

“But what was their fault? What was Seji's and Reina's fault? What was Emilia's fault?”

“they swore loyalty to Galahaeim! That was their fault!” Alfonzo said in rage.

“They don’t even belong to this world!! They did nothing. Seji wanted to find his lover and return home, was that his fault? He sought help from Galahaeim because that’s where he found himself, if he had found himself in Kinsho or any other country, would you gave had given her Reina? And what about Emilia? That poor girl died twice, traditional spirits don’t remember anything from human life, but you took her permanently from them. yes, she would have died later, but... you took her from them..”

“Oh shut up, don’t be a naive fool. Galahaeim deserves Death. Including everyone in that country."

“Enough! You are to be imprisoned for rest of your life. This vengeful thinking will not exist in Niuinaire, Accept that or accept death.” Andrea said while tears in his eyes.

“No wonder father couldn’t rule properly, you are a fool like him.” Alfonzo said.

“It's better than hurting people for no damn reason. And as the Younger Prince and new King of Niuinaire, I imprison you for rest of your life.” Andrea said.

“You are under possession. Fool, it's not long that I’ll be king again.” Alfonzo said.

Soldiers came and took Alfonzo in custody and started taking him.

“When we were children we used to play in backyard, you were a cry baby. You always needed me to protect you yet, you claimed to be protecting me. At Back of your head is a wound, that was because of me. You tried to save me when I fell in the lake.” Andrea said while tears fell down his cheek.

Alfonzo was shocked from this. "You really aren't possessed..." Alfonzo muttered with a complete shock on his face.

“And your right foot’s thumb has a Birthmark." Andrea said and slapped Alfonzo.

“Sorry brother. You have changed, and this is reality.” Andrea said and turned his back.

Alfonzo just stood.

“Imprison him, try to defy me and I’ll replace you all.” Andrea said and walked away.

Back to present.

“We are sorry for the problem, we caused.” Seji said.

“No, it was going to happen at some point. It just happen to be at the same time as yours.” Andrea said.

“We have reached.” Markus said, and everyone came out of cart.

It was cross road. A very large one, buildings Etc were there.

But, most importantly statues were there.

Statues of: (in order from left to right.)

Rune, Egan, Reiz, Seji, Reina, Mei, Freda And Ariel.

And a big statue was behind these all, it was of Emilia.

Below those statues, Members of Abristle were standing, They saw Seji and others and came to them.

They bowed in front of Andrea.

"Stand up, everyone." Andrea said and everyone stood up.

“Hey you guys, been awhile.” Seji said.

“How you all are doing?” Rune asked.

“What’s up?” Reiz asked.

“Ah, yea. You have met each other already.” Andrea said.

“Yea.” Seji said.

“Hey everyone. It's nice to see you guys here.” Teal said. The guy who was their leader.

“Nice to see you guys here." Iron said.

“Nice to see you all are doing good.” Rune said.

“Feelings are Mutual.” Acrè said.

“Oh, I promised you guys to give a name.” Seji said.

“Yes. That too.” Teal said, and everyone chuckled.

“Hmmn, how about Ardent?” Seji asked.

“Ardent?” Teal asked being confused about name.

“Yea, it means excited or something like that in English. Erm in my world's language I mean.” Seji said.

“I see. That’s not bad. Ardent, okay as we will take the suggestion.” Teal said.

“Yea, it will sound badass.” Seji said.

“I like you all get along. Anyway, This place have gotten to be known as the Hero's Cross road.” Andrea said, And the walked towards the statues.

Seeing Emilia's statue Ariel got tears in her eyes and cried a little.

Ariel's uneasiness faded away as she looked at the statue.

Seji looked at Emilia's statue and also got tears in his eyes.

“Thanks, Andrea. This is the best honor we could have ever gotten.” Seji said.

“Thank you! For the help, Let’s head back for now then. Peace has returned to Niuinaire.” Andrea said.

Everyone was joyed yet felt sorrow for losing Emilia. But, controlling their feelings, they went back to cart and started heading back.

They were heading back to Royal Palace, But Seji asked Andrea something again.

“Hey Andrea, if any Adventurer came looking for me, Freda or Reina, Send them to Elemental. Theirs a chance our other friends would start looking for us. And how did you find about so much about our Magic power?” Seji asked.

“Oh, Abstricle told about some of your powers and rest of them I got to know from Army men and I’m King, getting information is much easier now then I have many things at tips.” Andrea said and continued, “And for sure, I’ll send them your way right away.”

“I see.” Seji replied.

"We have deployed Telephones and other industrial techniques to Galahaeim. The trade deal must remain.” Andrea said.

“Thank you, Andrea.” Rune said.

They got off cart and went inside the castle.

“Let's have lunch.” Andrea said.

“Actually No, lord. It's alright. We will head back now. I think we spent enough time bothering you.” Rune said.

“No please have lunch.” Andrea said.

“No, it's alright.” Rune replied.

“Oh, so anything else I can do?” Andrea asked.

Reina called Seji by poking him.

“Hm? What happen?” Seji whispered.

“My memories.” Reina said.

“Ah, yea. Hey Andrea can we go see Alfonzo? I want to ask him about Reina's memory.” Seji said.

“Sure. Keep following me.” Andrea said and started walking.

Everyone followed Andrea.

Andrea took them all downstairs. Guards were present there and they walked to a cell. Alfonzo was sitting behind bars.

He was chained with mana resistant chains.

“Hello there Princess Reina.” Alfonzo said with a smile.

Seji shows himself by coming in front of Alfonzo’s eyes.

“And you.” Alfonzo said. His expression changed from smile to angry.

“That was a fast pace of expression changing. Now tell me what you used to alter Reina's memories?” Seji asked.

“I’ll tell you. But you will die or might never find it.” Alfonzo said with a smirk.

“It's fine.” Seji said.

“What you did to my memories...” Reina said.

“Nothing, I just used a item from underworld called ‘Fairy Fluid’. It's extracted from fairy's wings and can completely cage your old memories or even vanish. But the one I had only caged your memories, and I filled your brain with memories which I wanted. And you believed.” Alfonzo said and laughed.

Reina drew her Katana and pointed it towards Alfonzo's forehead directly.

“I don’t know how or why, but I seem to know how to draw them and use them.” Reina said.

“Don’t dirty your hands, Rei. I still have some questions.” Seji said.

“*gulp* kill me I don’t even care now.” Alfonzo said being scared from the sharp katana.

“We will but first answer me, how did you find Reina? And what exactly you did and keep it short.” Seji said.

“About a month or two ago, I was travelling to the East of Niuinaire. There are Desert in East and as we were travelling we saw a girl walking towards us. She was thirsty we gave her water. We took her with us back to Palace. I treated her well, even agreed to teach her basic magic. I taught her how the world here works too. She told me that she was from a different world, I refused to believe and started laughing. She drew a Katana and asked if we have these I said yea and gave her one. For first 5days it was all great and all but on 6th day she found out my laboratory downstairs. I used to conduct different experiments to create a things which hold very strong magic, such as fairy fluid, and other objective to create a supreme race for myself and use them to extract revenge on Galahaeim. I thought she will support me, so I told her everything, but istead of supporting she slapped me and ran from Palace. I ordered Kiriyo to find her, and he told me her location. I went and asked her, if I win you will stay with me and if I lose she can go away. She drew her Katana refusing both conditions, I managed to defeat her, but her sword skills were stronger even without Magic. So, I sealed her magic in terror that she might revolt against me if she learned magic. And rest is history.”

Reina looked at floor with broken trust, she still trusted Alfonzo due to his memory altering till he told truth.

“How can she regain memories?” Seji asked.

"Now that’s fun part. You can get it from Bellal. Another Underworld god. This item is only available to underworld god and I only knew Bellal as other underworld god. And not his real identity either. I just know his name Lord Bellal, nothing else. Goodluck now.” Alfonzo said and started laughing.

Reina got filled with rage.

“You f***** bastard!” Seji said and punched Alfonzo in the face.

“Tell me who is he.” Seji said.

“I said I don’t know!” Alfonzo said being resilient.

“What is this human underworld? Where is it located?” Seji said.

“There are no fixed coordinates. No meeting happens directly in underworld god. Underworld is present everywhere. It's a black market hub, you get anything there. From alive humans or any other species to any magic item. To be underworld god, you must have shear strength and a vast business and name in underworld. I was known as Delbrus, one of four underworld kings, but there are three more. Bellal, Oris, Kraven. They are largest traders in underworld. I used to hunt most people in Galahaeim, that way I could extract my revenge and get supplies as well. Two birds with one stone. But that’s not it, Underworld is supported by many strong holds, that’s why it still exists. If none strong power was involved there's no way something like this could exist. You have been warned before you enter another world in this realm. Underworld will never go down, someone at some point will come and rise up in underworld. I’m just an asset which will be replaced. To destroy underworld you shall notice that you will have to face half of this world's strongest people. Good luck with that.” Alfonzo said.

“Tch. I’m telling you, I’ll find him and kill him. As long as I have Rei beside me I won’t give up. Mark my words. I’ll bring her memories.” Seji said.

“Go ahead try it.” Alfonzo said.

“I’ll. Tell me who summoned us from our world.” Seji said. Reina was filled with anger. She stood till with her eyes at floor, her brain being boggled with the revelation.

“I don’t know. I’m interested to know though.” Alfonzo said and smirked.

“Well, we have to find it our self.” Seji said.

Her anger's dam broke.

“Sure, goodluck with-

Alfonzo was speaking that Reina drew blade and tried to cut Alfonzo's head!! But Seji held the sword with his left hand from sharp side and held Reina's arm with his right hand.

“You withdrew all the force when I moved my hands. I can’t use magic right now, and you didn’t even bother using magic to behead him.” Seji said while his hand bled a little.

“Get side, Seji. Let me kill him..” Reina said, she was blinded in rage.

“I won’t. Even if you don’t remember you are still my girlfriend, and I will never let her commit anything for which she feels bad afterwards. Look, Andrea is watching too. Even he is hesitating to see this. At the end They are brothers, you want to take him from Andrea? Yea he took Emilia, I want to kill him too. He took many innocent lives, but killing him will put you under regret and not to mention you aren’t in your senses.” Seji said.

“I’m in fully senses. He took my memories... made me fall for him by memory altering. AM I A F**** JOKE?” Reina said and started crying.

“AM I A F****** JOKE? YOU TOOK MY MEMORIES OF HIM. I LOVED HIM. NOW I DON’T KNOW WHO AM I OR WHO I WAS... I WANT TO REMEMBER. I WANT TO REMEMBER HIM, I WANT TO REMEMBER MY WORLD, I WANT TO REMEMBER...my family...my friends.” Reina said to Alfonzo while crying.

Seji held Reina's hand and took her outside the cell.

“Hey, old man, can you open this cell?” Seji asked a soldier pointing out to the room next to Alfonzo's. Everybody just stood silent.

"You saw that brother? if he didn't came your head might be on floor." Andrea said.

"You think I care?" Alfonzo replied.

You never learn.

“Su-re” Guard replied and opened the door to the cell.

Seji took Reina in and closed the door.

“Why you dragged me here..” Reina said with teary eyes.

Seji hugged Reina and said, “calm down, we will find get your memories back. I love you, I can’t see you killing someone without knowing who you are. So relax, I’m always here and always will be beside you. I promise.”

“What if I forget these memories too? What will happen then?” Reina said.

Seji kissed her forehead and tucked up his shirt from arm, “look, master said I should be determined to bring you back, so he carved R as in Reina on my arm. No, you don’t need to carve anything, uhm. I know when we get home I’ll tell you what, it's a surprise for now. Okay? So be happy now you won’t forget me.”

Reina's thought started gathering from the warmth of his arms.

Reina thought, “I always feel a weird warmth in his arms...”

“I can’t accept it. I don’t know if I love you or not.” Reina said.

“It's alright, you don’t need to know. Just accept it as gift. Then when you remember it will be bonus gift.” Seji said.

“Mhm..” Reina said.

Tears stopped falling from her eyes.

“Did youbringt me here just to hug?” Reina asked.

“I’m a shy type you know. So, I can’t let Alfonzo or anyone see or I might be embarrassed. And i know how to burn him. Just say yes when we are back in cell.” Seji said.

“Okay.” Reina replied, and they went back to the cell.

“You guys done?” Rune asked.

“Yea, everything is fine. By the way can you guys leave room for a second? We want to talk with Alfonzo alone.” Seji said.

“Sure.” Andrea said, and everyone walked out of room.

Seji pulled Reina closer and was going to speak but Alfonzo interrupted him.

“Tch, go to other room for your Lovey-dovey stuff.” Alfonzo said.

“Oh? What do you mean? We already came from there, We just kissed three times. We had more fun last night, actually.” Seji said.

“Y-es.” Reina said being embarrassed. She became red like a tomato.

“W-wa-ahat?!? You mean *ex...” Alfonzo muttered and got embarrassed and flustered.

“Eh? Why are you being embarrassed? Don’t tell me you are a virgin. We used to do it daily when we were in our world. And it was so much fun!!” Seji said.

"Whatt!?! Really!?!” Reina said being shocked.

“Yeah. Oh you don’t remember. It's alright. We can do at night again.” Seji said.

“W-Y-Yes.” Reina said being flustered.

“Are you guys done?” Rune's voice came.

“Yea, we are coming.” Seji said.

Alfonzo went into a somewhat depression and was muttering, “why did I even bother... a 17 year old kid is better than me.... why do I exist..”

“Let’s go, Rei.” Seji said.

“What about your hand. Let me stop blood.” Reina said and tried to tear off her cloth to use bandage.

“STOP!!” Seji said.

“What!?!” Reina said and got scared.

“Didn’t mean to scare you, sorry-sorry. But don’t worry, Mei can heal this. Let’s go.” Seji said.

“Okay.. but, a bandage would be good...” Reina said.

“No-no. You will tear your dress, and just see her blood control it's awesome. And this wound will be gone.” Seji said.

“Okay..” Reina said. Seji held Reina's hand, and they ran to others.

“You took long.” Reiz said.

“Yea, just things happened. He won’t be speaking much for days now.” Seji said.

“What you did?” Mei asked.

“Nothing. By the way Mei, can you heal this?” Seji asked.

“Sure.” Mei said and took sip of Seji's blood and healed his hand.

“Here you go.” Mei said.

“Thanks, Mei.” Seji said.

“Welcome.” Mei said.

“Let’s head back.” Rune said.

“Why don’t you guys have lunch?” Andrea said.

“I’m hungry..” Freda said.

“Sure then.” Rune said.

They walked up to the dining hall and were served food.

Everyone took chairs and had a very great royal meal.

*after some 30-40 minutes

They were standing at front of the Palace's door.

“It would’ve been great if you guys stayed.” Andrea said.

“We'd love to but have to go now. We have to go back to original ways. And in some months the Tournament of Guilds will come to. We will have to participate there, please visit at that time.” Rune said.

“I'd love to.” Andrea said.

“Now then, we bid our farewell. Thank you, Lord.” Rune said.

Everyone bowed and thanked Andrea and Andrea thanked them back for the help.

Freda opened the portal to Guild house, and they came back to Guild house.

Guild hall was empty. Everyone was either on Job quests or in their rooms. It was gloomy all over the rooms.

“Went great. He gave us many items.” Rune said.

“Mhm. Look at this fancy staff I got.” Reiz said.

“Looks good. What others got?” Master said.

"I got this necklace." Ariel said.

"I got this necklace as well. Different from Ariel one." Seji said.

"I got a ring." Freda said.

"I got Lika ring." Rune said.

"Katana." Reina said.

" An old Dagger." Mei said.

"What a good way to put your items up. Well, try them and report to me if you see anything extra ordinary." Master said.

“Where's Egan?” Rune asked.

“He's in his room.” Master said.

“I see." Rune replied.

“I’m going in my room.” Ariel said and went upstairs.

“Have Kiwari returned?” Seji asked.

Mei's face went down hearing about Kiwari. She still had to confront Kiriyo.

“Yea, when she saw laying in the room. She went crazy and cried loudly. And I gave them some holidays.” Master said.

“That’s good. Let me check on Alec now.” Seji said.

“Sure, go ahead.” Master said.

“Come, Rei.” Seji said.

“I’ll come too.” Mei said.

“Of course.” Seji said and they all went upstairs.

“I wanna see too.” Freda said and joined them.

“I’m going to room for a nap.” Reiz said and went to his room.

“What about her memories?” Master asked.

“Well, Alfonzo revealed a lot of stuff....

Reiz explained what Alfonzo told about the underworld, and Reina.

“I see. I already knew about the underworld but, didn’t knew in details.” Master said.

“What if our king is involved too? I mean there is a possibly right. And if he is will there be a revolution in Galahaeim too?” Rune asked.

“I don’t think he is involved. He is one of Kindest people on this realm, maybe in other realms too.” Master said.

“Probably. Who knows. Let’s see what it leads to. But we have no clue who bellal is or where is he.” Rune said.

“I’ll try finding out something.” Master said.

“Yeah. Tournament coming soon too. We will have to train Reina for that.” Rune said.

“She got a katana right?” Master asked.

“Yea.” Rune replied.

“How about we send them to Kinsho? To my friend? I mean Noriko's father." Master said.

“Their guilds are based on family clans. Very rare cases for them to have any exceptional.” Rune said.

“Noriko's father, ‘Kisuke’ is much more open-minded. He defended his daughter and sent her to us to be an adventurer than continuing in his guild. No doubt his guild or clan are one of the best in Kinsho, but he believed that his daughter should learn foreign things to be much more open and bring prosperity in Kinsho.” Master explained.

“I see. Well it is a sound idea. We can discuss about it with them.” Rune said.

A scream came from upstairs.

“Huh, what happened.” Rune said.

“I’ll go check.” Master said and went upstairs.

Master opened the door and noticed Alec was awake.

Meanwhile, In Niuinaire. In Alfonzo's cell.

The same women in black robes manages to infiltrate his cell. She had kill guards who were guarding the cell.

"Oh, you have come to save me. I thank Lord Bella-

The women beheaded Alfonzo as he was speaking.

"You already revealed enough about underworld, we have no place for you.

"Wha-..." Alfonzo said his last words and died right the moment...
