… Was it right or wrong?
No, this wasn't a question of right or wrong.
Senpai knew what he was doing and faced it with determination. He didn't believe that he was wrong, nor did he believe that he was right. He simply made the choice he wanted.
Something flashed in Hoshi's eyes as he confirmed his own thoughts.
"I feel that … although I did terrible things, Senpai is still Senpai."
Seiji blinked upon hearing this.
"Of course I'm still me." He smiled. "Thank you for your understanding as well, junior."
Hoshi smiled as well.
The person before him wasn't perfect, but he was still the person he wanted to be. This hadn't changed.
By the way, it was astonishing that he suddenly had three beautiful girlfriends, including the Wanhua president!
Senpai wasn't only amazing at good things, he was also amazing at bad things. Hoshi was inwardly impressed.
…
"Rion, what should we do?"
"Kotomi, should we give up?"
"Giving up just like this feels like admitting defeat."
"Actually, we've already lost, once again."
"Haruta Seiji is truly strong."
"He's given us a taste of defeat once again."
"But it's not over yet, Rion."
"Indeed, it's not over yet, Kotomi."
"As long as we don't completely give up, it's not truly over yet."
The twin sisters came to a decision in their own room.
Later that night.
Seiji and Little Shi met up with Kazuko before heading to the Juumonji Group.
"This is the place where we came to dispel Kazufuru's curse." Kazuko recognized the place.
"Yeah. The acting team leader here is our companion. "
"Acting team leader?"
"You'll meet him soon."
The three of them arrived at the dojo and saw that Tomohisa had already put on his equipment and was waiting for them.
"This humble one has finished his preparations, Captain!"
"Captain?"
Kazuko had an astonished expression when she saw this "companion" dressed like a special forces soldier and heard how he addressed her.
"Harano-kun is actually part of the military?"
"No, that was just a joke." Seiji waved his hand.
"Allow me to introduce you. This is Tomohisa Juumonji, a member of my team. He's currently the acting team leader of this Juumonji group."
"Tomohisa, this is Kazuko Ooike. She was the one who previously came here to dispel the curse. She's the other personality of my classmate Kazufuru Ooike … she's like a twin sister who shares the same body."
"A sister sharing a body?" Tomohisa blinked.
"It's like this …" Seiji briefly explained.
"Gender conversion … what a precious talent!" After hearing the explanation, Tomohisa's eyes flashed. "It's an honor to meet you, Ooike-san. Let's get along well in the future!"
Kazuko looked at Seiji Mukai.
"By the way, he's an otaku, and he likes to play tricks," Seiji added.
"Such a person is the acting team leader … is there really no problem with this Juumonji group?" Kazuko adjusted her eyeglasses and asked directly.
"He's not bad when he's serious."
"Thanks for the compliment, Captain!"
"I don't think that's praise."
After retorting, the excellent student girl politely greeted Seiji.
Tomohisa was quite interested in Kazuko, while Kazuko was keeping her distance from Tomohisa … this was all within Seiji's expectations.
Alright then, let's get ready and begin!
Kazuko opened up the door to her Domain, allowing Seiji and the others to enter.
Seiji's vision darkened. He felt his body spinning, and faint noises entered his ears … based on his previous experience, he should be able to see what was inside her Domain soon.
However, this time, the darkness lasted much longer!
Just as he was wondering what was going on, his consciousness suddenly became hazy. His body felt like it was falling, and the noises he heard gradually became clearer …
"Rhode …"
"Rhode … be careful …"
"… It's dangerous behind you!"
Upon hearing Kazuko's warning, Seiji used his shield to block a black wolf's attack from behind.
He grit his teeth and continued fighting, swinging his longsword against the wolf pack. Although he could easily deal with these magical beasts by using his fighting spirit, he needed to conserve as much energy as possible for the rest of the journey.
If only his companions were still by his side …
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, he forcefully stopped himself from thinking about it. Firstly, he was currently in the middle of a battle, and secondly, he didn't dare to think too deeply about it. He was afraid of imagining his companions' pitiful deaths.
"Arghhhhh!!!"
In order to dispel the fear in his heart, he shouted in a low voice and swung his sword with all his might, slicing yet another black wolf in half!
Beside him, Kazuko was also fighting. She used her staff as a club and viciously smashed the head of a black wolf into pieces.
Her actions were violent … to the point where she seemed more like an experienced female adventurer than a student of the Sage Academy.
After a fierce battle, the two of them killed off all the black wolves.
"Are you alright, Lana?"
"I'm fine. Where's Rhode?"
"I'm fine as well." Rhode sheathed his longsword and then went to pick up the magic stones left behind by the magical beasts.
"So many magic stones were left behind … the rate of magic stones being left behind is over 50%. As expected of the Ancient Kyara Palace." Lana sighed.
"Ancient Kyara Palace?"
"Yes, the name of the ruins in this forbidden region."
"Could it be related to the Kyara Kingdom?"
"You know about the Kyara Kingdom?"
"I know a little … My father told me some legends that he heard from his companions when he was an adventurer."
"What are the specifics?"
"I remember that … a human princess and an elven prince fell in love and married each other, and then established a kingdom together." Rhode recalled. "Humans and elves lived in harmony in this kingdom, but later on, the human princess passed away. The elven prince missed her greatly and wanted to revive her. Many humans and elves were sacrificed for this, which ultimately led to the kingdom's destruction."
"That's fine as a story, but it's actually all wrong," Lana commented. "The real situation is …"
Rhode suddenly raised his hand and stopped her from continuing. He then knelt on the ground and listened carefully.
"More magical beasts are approaching. Let's hurry and leave!"
The two of them didn't even have time to rest as they hurriedly rushed forward.
This was a forbidden region, a land of death that no one should ever enter.
They had accidentally fallen into this place, and they had no idea if they would be able to leave this place alive.
Rhode hoped that he and Lana would be able to survive, and he also hoped that his companions who had been separated from him would be safe. However, no matter how he looked at it, this was far too much to hope for.
Just suppressing the uneasiness and fear in his heart took a lot of effort.
'May the Holy White Goddess protect us …' Rhode prayed in his heart.
Suddenly, Lana stopped in her footsteps.
"What's the matter?"
"I suddenly feel … as if there's something …"
The Sage Academy girl looked all around her, and then her gaze fell on the young adventurer's left side as if she had seen something.
Rhode followed her gaze, but didn't see anything.
Just as he was feeling confused, a faint white light suddenly flashed in his field of vision, and he seemed to see a tall figure wearing strange clothing!
What was that!? He was so shocked that he reflexively tried to unsheathe his sword.
