Hanayui no Shou 6-8N

8 - A new land - second half

[Hero club room]

N.W: Phew... We're back, Hinata.

H: Welcome back, Wakaba-chan and everyone else. Looks like your battle was a great success.

M: Thanks to you defeating that enemy on the defensive, a part of the land was reclaimed. Utanon, everyone, you really did well.

F: Can we go to the land that was reclaimed?

H: Yes. Although, I think this Sanshuu region is enough for living here.

S: The enemy's power decreased while the Shinju-sama's increased. It's nothing but good things~.

K: If we do this three or four more times, the rebelling gods won't be able to do a thing anymore, right?

H: As I said earlier, the rebelling gods are formerly from the heavens. They're considerably strong gods.

K: I see. Well, I guess there's no need to hurry. It's not like I feel like losing anyway.

Se: That's right, let's be more chill about it! There's no need to rush about returning...

M: *concern*

Y.Y: Huh?

F: For now, good job, everyone! Dismissed! Get some good rest and prepare for the next time.

G: Alright, time to explore our new lands!

Ta: Gin, Tama's going with you!

[Sanshu Middle rooftop]

M: Sigh...

Y.Y: Mito-chan, you've been looking pained for a while. Are you worried about something?

M: Eh? No, nothing like that... Or, well... There's something on my mind, actually.

Y.Y: I see... I could hear you out if you want. Mito-chan, you're our precious friend, after all.

M: I'm impressed you noticed that from my expression. Even Utanon didn't.

Y.Y: I'm sure Utano-chan understood that as well.

Sh: Mi-chan, I wanted to ask you about something- Oh, Yuuki-san is here too.

Y.Y: See?

M: It's about Akihara-san. It feels like she really doesn't want to return back to her time...

M: At this rate, when we finish our duty, a problem might spring up when we have to return...

Sh: That's not an oracle, but your own thoughts, right, Mi-chan?

M: Yeah. I kind of understood her. I don't want to return back to the time before I met you either, Utanon.

Y.Y: I got it! Leave it to me... I mean, me and Utano-chan! We'll think of something!

Sh: That's right, Mi-chan. Don't worry. If you take care of them, both fields and hearts will give rise to good sprouts.

M: Thanks, you two. Of course I'll do what I can too.
