Suspension.
Student Council President Esterize was deeply seated in the Student Council Room’s chair, with her younger brother Rashild before her.
Rashild had bandages from injuries sustained during a fight with Albero.
ㅤ
“How’s your injury?”
“. . . . . .No issues.”
“I thought so. I’ve suspended the S-class group. With this, they’re barred from classrooms and all school facilities. . . . . .After all, they’re students. They can’t go against my decision.”
“. . . . . .Understood.”
“I’ll be sending a letter of protest to the school and even the Asgard Kingdom. Three S-class students disrupted the peace and even injured the Discipline Committee Chairman who tried to admonish them.”
“. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Rashild bit his lip in frustration.
But Esterize paid no attention.
ㅤ
“Swallow your humiliation. Let that feeling drive you to greater heights.”
“Sister. . . . . .I want to take revenge on him.”
“. . . . . .Drop it for now. Honestly, he’s a tough opponent. Even I might only be able to tie with him. . . . . .or barely win.”
“. . . . . .”
“For now, heal your wounds. Leave the Discipline Committee work to the others.”
“. . . . . .Understood. Excuse me.”
ㅤ
Rashild bowed and left the Student Council Room.
Alone, Esterize took out a letter from her desk.
It was from the Rushout family━━a letter from her parents.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .Nonsense.”
ㅤ
The content was about Albero.
Demon subjugator, the unprecedented S-class, enormous rewards, revocation of expulsion. . . . . .All these were written in the letters. These were letters sent to Albero, but since he refused to accept them, they all went to Esterize.
Their parents were obsessed with Albero.
However, Albero was no longer a child of the Rushout family.
ㅤ
“Hmph. S-class, huh. . . . . .I don’t recognize it.”
ㅤ
Esterize tore the letter and threw it into the trash.
ㅤ
◇◇◇◇◇◇
ㅤ
Subjugation of the Arrogant Demon Hubris.
Demon Hubris is revered like a god in a village far from the Asgard Kingdom.
Slowly transforming a poor farming village into a prosperous one, poisoning the once-poor inhabitants with a toxin named “Bliss,” gradually turning them arrogant.
He enjoys this process and finds ecstasy when the humans he cultivated look down on others arrogantly━━a completely incomprehensible perverse demon (as Kid describes him).
“We depart in three days. Make sure you’re ready. We won’t be back for ten days.”
ㅤ
At Garnet’s words, everyone began preparations for the stay.
Albero packed clothes and underwear into his bag.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .I should bring some portable food.”
ㅤ
Ever since becoming of the Parasitic type, he felt hunger.
Daily training has toned his body, and no matter how much meat he eats, he doesn’t gain weight. Kid felt the same.
When he went to the dormitory cafeteria and searched the fridge, there was no portable food.
He couldn’t use the school facilities because of the suspension, so he had to go to town to buy some.
ㅤ
“Sigh. . . . . .It’s a hassle, but I guess I’ll go. Kid probably won’t share with me anyway.”
ㅤ
“Kid, do you have 『portable food』?” he asked, but all he could see was a future where the response was, “I have some, but I won’t give it to you.”
To go out to the town, he changed his clothes and stepped outside.
Kid isn’t in the dormitory. Lapis is probably packing clothes and underwear into a bag in her room. Albero definitely can’t help, so he decides to head out on his own.
Then, under the shadow of a tree in front of the dormitory, he saw hair of emerald green.
ㅤ
“A, Albero. . . . . .hey.”
“. . . . . .Ashe?”
“Ah, um. . . . . .where are you going?”
“. . . . . .Shopping. I’ll be leaving the Asgard Kingdom for a while. I have preparations to make.”
“Eh. . . . . .where are you going?”
“. . . . . .It’s none of your business.”
ㅤ
Saying that, Albero just walked past Ashe.
However, Ashe began walking beside Albero.
ㅤ
“I’m coming too!”
“. . . . . .”
“Please Albero, listen to me.”
“. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Albero just kept walking, ignoring her.
Ashe spoke, her voice filled with sorrow.
ㅤ
“Back then, I looked away from Albero for a reason. When I tried to help Albero, I felt so strange. . . . . .I felt too embarrassed to look at Albero, even though I knew he was in trouble. . . . . .”
“. . . . . .And?”
“That’s why. . . . . .I couldn’t move. By the time I realized, it was already over.”
“So I should forgive you?”
“Hey, Albero. Can’t we go back to how we were? Albero, you’ve changed. . . . . .you’ve become stronger, defeated Rashild-san. . . . . .Mog is gone. . . . . .All our memories are lost. . . . . .But I’ve always been worried about you.”
“. . . . . .Mog is here. Right here.”
ㅤ
Albero extended his right hand towards Ashe.
The next moment, Albero’s hand transformed into the form of 『Jabberwock』.
ㅤ
“Huh. . . . . .?”
“. . . . . .Mog, it’s you.”
ㅤ
Albero’s right hand was extended towards Ashe as if seeking a handshake.
As if saying, let’s reconcile.
Albero looked at Ashe.
ㅤ
“Ashe. . . . . .Mog says we should make up.”
“Mog said. . . . . .?”
ㅤ
Ashe took Albero’s right hand and pressed it to her cheek.
Memories of hugging Mog and rubbing their cheeks together flooded back. And without Albero’s intention, his right hand gently stroked Ashe’s cheek.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .He’s here. Mog is right here.”
“. . . . . .Yeah.”
“Mog. . . . . .I’m trying my best. So please. . . . . .take care of Albero.”
“. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Ashe held Albero’s hand.
Mog always liked Ashe, after Albero.
He probably wouldn’t want Albero and Ashe to be at odds.
And so. . . . . .Albero made a decision.
ㅤ
“I get it. I understand now. . . . . .Ashe.”
“Huh. . . . . .?”
“I forgive you. . . . . .If you’re okay with it, join the S-class.”
“. . . . . .Is that okay?”
“Yeah. If you, being of the same gender, are with Lapis, it’ll probably make things easier.”
“. . . . . .Albero.”
ㅤ
Tears streamed down Ashe’s face.
And then. . . . . .she buried her face in Albero’s chest, hugging him.
ㅤ
“I’m sorry. . . . . .I’m sorry. . . . . .I wasn’t there for you when things were tough. . . . . .Even though I knew how hard it was for you, Albero. . . . . .”
“It’s okay. And. . . . . .I was also kind of taking out my frustrations on you. I’m sorry.”
“Mhm. . . . . .it’s fine.”
Ashe cried.
Albero gently stroked her.
And so, the two reconciled.
At the same time, the fourth member joined the S-class Summoner━━Ashe.
