“You’re right…”

Hajime smiled and murmured in agreement, looking very happy. His expression made Shia and Tio unable to bear it any longer, and they moved closer...

"...Don't get horny in front of Myuu."

"It hurts...! Miss Yue!?"

"Wow!? Yue, your way of transferring is going to scare people!"

Someone immediately slapped the two men on the head. They turned around and saw the moon floating behind them.

This is an instantaneous transfer that doesn't pass through the "Gate of Space"—"Heaven is there"...

Yue was wearing a black Gothic Lolita-style dress today. She suddenly appeared and floated lightly in the air, like a doll from a fairy tale.

In the past, Yue always took great pains to choose her clothes because she didn't want to be seen as a child, but she also didn't want others to think she was trying too hard to dress maturely. However, now that she can change her appearance and age at will, she has decided to relax and enjoy the fun of dressing up.

"Yue, you're back. Is everything alright with the Empire?"

"...Yeah, no problem. The Hauriya people almost started a rebellion, and the people of the Empire panicked a bit, but that's all. I suppressed everyone."

"That's it."

It sounds very problematic, but no one dares to delve into it.

Hajime hugged Yue who fell on him lightly, almost without feeling her weight, and kissed her naturally.

“…Everyone’s gathered in the square. Hajime, how’s it going over there?”

"I just completed the final verification and found no problems."

Hajime looked at Yue, Shia, Tio, Myuu, and Remia in that order, then tightly grasped the Artificial God Crystal in his hand.

“—Let’s go.”

Hajime led Yue and the others to the square outside the city, the place where he had accepted Shia's feelings before.

As soon as Hajime arrived at the square outside the city, Aiko and her classmates who were chatting immediately stopped talking and looked at Hajime.

The long-awaited moment finally arrived. Everyone's expression was tense and tense.

Kaori and Shizuku ran towards Hajime. Unexpectedly, Liliana followed behind them.

"Lily, why are you here too?"

"It's a rare opportunity like this, I want to observe it."

Even if the artifact that can allow everyone to return to Earth is completed, it does not mean that they can go back immediately.

Because creating a divine tool requires a large amount of mana, it can't be used immediately. Also, although it doesn't mean they won't be able to see each other for several years after this separation, Hajime still plans to say goodbye properly before returning.

However, for Liliana who decided to stay here, it is inevitable that she would be very concerned.

Hajime nodded at her and then looked at Yue to walk with him to the center of the square.

There was silence.

Everyone held their breath and kept their lips tightly closed, fearing that any sound would lead to Shi's failure.

"Kaori, according to calculations, there should be enough magic power. But if it's not enough, please cast regeneration magic in time."

"Well, leave it to me!"

"To be on the safe side, it's best not to let me get involved with any magic other than Yue. Therefore, the transfer type—"

"I know. I will only use a method that allows you two to recover your own magic power. Is that right?"

Kaori nodded seriously. Hajime nodded back at her, then turned to Tio and Aiko and spoke.

"Tio, Aiko, please be more careful. Although it's probably nothing to worry about."

"If you spend too much time creating a divine artifact and exceed the duration of your Limit Break, you can use soul magic to extend it, right? I can do that."

"Yes, I will be ready as well. Master, please do as you please, and don't worry."

Reminding them to prepare assistance was actually just in case.

Shia retreated with Myuu and Remia. Yuka and the others also surrounded Hajime and Yue, keeping a distance from them and watching them.

Feeling the gazes and expectations from their surroundings, Hajime and Yue turned to face each other.

"Okay, let's get started, Yue."

"……Um."

Hajime stretched out his hands, holding the Divine Crystal in his right hand and the other highest-grade materials in his left.

Yue stretched out his hands and gently rested them on Hajime's.

Finally, the secret art of concept creation began to be performed.

"—『Limit Breakthrough: Overthrow』."

"—『Ultimate Liberation』."

The two of them simultaneously entered a state where they could exert their full strength.

A crimson and golden light gradually enveloped the forest of Feyalbergen. A whirlwind blew, and the branches swayed. The two magical energies gradually intensified, blending and converging.

Then, powerful magic power exploded.

The two-colored magical light seemed to be entwined as if leaning on each other, and spiraled up into the sky, recreating the scene of the magical light penetrating the [Divine Realm] during the mythical war.

The powerful and unlimited torrent of force can even stimulate the skin through the air, causing a slight tingling sensation.

Feeling this physical pressure, Yuka and the others could not help but hide their faces and crouch down, while Shia also stepped forward to protect Myuu and Remia.

Beyond the magical power, a terrifyingly strong will was added. A resolute will, deeper and heavier than steel, began to spread along the torrent of magical power, incomparably strong.

Except for Shizuku and the others who had witnessed the creation of the crystal key in the [Ice Cave] before, everyone else dared not even breathe and had goose bumps on their arms.

──I want to go back.

──Where is my hometown?

──I want to go back.

──Return to your family.

──I want to go back.

──Go back with everyone.

The strong wish is so sincere that everyone can be moved.

Yuka and the others naturally shed tears.

Not only did they personally feel the power of Hajime's thoughts, but they also felt the same way. Like Hajime, they all missed their hometown, home, and wanted to be reunited with their families.

Of course, not all of my classmates have healthy family relationships. Some are in the midst of a rebellious phase, some find their parents annoying, and some have barely spoken to their siblings lately.

Even so, they all wanted to talk to their families one last time.

The originally vague and unspecific idea of ​​returning home has now become clearer, and the urge of homesickness has emerged strongly.

Therefore, everyone prayed, hoping that Hajime would succeed, hoping that he would persevere, and supporting Hajime with all their heart.

Then──

A strong light burst out from Hajime and Yue's hands.

The divine crystal is emitting strong light.

A torrent of magical power surged like a storm, forming a brilliant vortex like the Milky Way, and condensed towards the divine crystal and was sucked into it.

Hajime, who had been keeping his eyes closed and maintaining his will in a state of extreme concentration, slowly opened his eyes.

Then, he let his magic resound throughout the world. The sound was so quiet, yet clear and distinct.

“—‘Refine’.”

The divine crystal floated into the air and split into two.

The other materials began to decompose and gradually combined with the two halves of the divine crystal to form two strong and bright lights between Shi and Yue, like two stars.

Such a scene is so mysterious, dreamy and beautiful that it will never be forgotten.

Before they knew it, the scene had become quiet again.

The extremely powerful torrent of magic power and the spread of will that gave people goosebumps all over their bodies came to a halt.

Exhales of admiration rang out one after another. Everyone was so fascinated by the scene before them that they forgot to remain quiet.

What fascinates everyone may be the two shining artifacts, or the figures of two people snuggling together at the center of the mysterious phenomenon.

The light gradually faded, and the crimson and golden magical light gradually disappeared as if blending into the forest.

Light gently released his hand, and reached out to grasp the two divine artifacts floating in the air—the 'Guidance Compass' and the 'Crystal Key'.

She glanced at the artifact before handing it to Hajime.

“…Let’s try.”

"Um."

Yuka and the others, who were lost in thought, finally came to their senses and tensed up again.

He began to activate the compass. Amidst the immense tension, a few seconds stretched to an eternity, and the sound of someone swallowing saliva was particularly loud.

Shi said nothing, but just silently held the crystal key and confirmed its effect on the space.

"Uh, hey, Nagumo, how's it going? Is this okay?"

Kosuke seemed to finally be unable to bear it any longer and asked tremblingly.

Hajime raised his head and looked around at Yuuka and the others who were staring at him with bated breath. After a moment's pause—

A smug smile of success appeared on his face, and he gave a thumbs up.

There is no need to think about what this reaction means.

Suddenly, there was thunderous cheers.

"Yeah────!!" Junshi, Noboru, and Akito shouted with their fists half raised.

"Great! Great! Now we can go home!"

"Taeko, stop crying~"

"Yuuka-chan, you're crying yourself!"

Yuka and the others hugged each other with tears in their eyes.

“Uooohhh! I can go home! I can really go home!”

“Nagumo! No, Nagumo-sama! I’m so grateful!”

In order to express their joy, Shinji, Yoshiki and several other boys began to dance a wonderful dance.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow~~ That's so great~~ Nagumo-kun~~ Yue-san~~ Thank you so much~~!"

"Hate it~~ I'll never be able to repay the favor I owe you~~!"

Mao hugged Ayako who was crying loudly, and tears welled up in her eyes too.

Next to them, Jūgo, Kentaro, and Kousuke didn't say anything, but just smiled and high-fived each other.

The relief she felt made her son relax so much that she fell to the ground. Liliana stroked her back.

The other students also hugged each other's shoulders or shook hands, crying and laughing, and the scene was in chaos.

"Now I have no choice but to become Lord Nanyun's pet!" "I want to be Miss Yue's dog!" Some students said such dangerous words, but everyone planned to treat them as if they were just too moved and their thoughts were confused for a moment, and not take it seriously.

Hajime took a deep breath. Extreme exhaustion made him collapse to the ground.

Yue followed suit, looking tired and sitting on his lap. Hajime put his arm around her slender waist and supported her, and Yue began to rub against him.

"... Yue, thank you."

"……Um."

The feeling of relief and comfortable fatigue, coupled with the touch of Yue's soft jade and warm fragrance, made Shi breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a pair of lovely footsteps approached quickly.

"Dad~!"

"Myuu."
