***Kazuki and Ryuto took a stroll around the world of Galliather, admiring the stunning and revitalizing natural landscapes. After a while of walking, Kazuki stopped and turned to Ryuto with a small smile on his face."You know, Ryuto," said Kazuki, "you were so silly earlier when you tried those potions. I couldn't help but laugh."Ryuto smiled bashfully. "I feel silly, but I'm glad I tried.""Don't feel silly, Ryuto. You learned about potions quickly, and it will be very useful for your future research," Kazuki said excitedly. "I'm also glad I could help you get started on your journey. Feel free to ask me for help or advice anytime."Ryuto smiled back. "Of course, Kazuki. I'm very grateful for your help. We've become good friends, haven't we?""Always," replied Kazuki with his friendly smile.Ryuto nodded in agreement, feeling optimistic and excited about his adventures with Kazuki. They walked towards the gate that would take them back to Earth, ready to embark on a new chapter o

***When Shiori suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Kazuki felt a little happy and laughed inwardly. "Hey Darling, how are you?" Shiori approached Kazuki with a sweet smile on her lips."I'm doing well, Shiori. You suddenly appeared, what's up? Do you miss me?" Kazuki teased the girl.Hearing that, Shiori's face blushed and she turned away while muttering, "Ermmm, I just wanted to say good morning and also thank you for taking me home yesterday.""No need to thank me, Shiori. It's only natural as your boyfriend," Kazuki said casually. Besides, his meeting with Shendo was enjoyable for him.After talking for a while, Shiori said goodbye to Kazuki and walked towards a group of girls to leave school.Ichiro and Izumi, who were nearby and had been secretly eavesdropping on their conversation, signaled to Kazuki to be careful. "You have to be careful with this girl, Kazuki. Although she looks gentle when she's near you, in reality, she's a very sadistic and dominating girl, you will understa

*** Kaito quickly drank the remainder of his drink, letting the alcohol spread throughout his body. He felt calmer and better now. However, he also knew that the feeling would only be temporary. Kaito gazed back at the photo of his family and smiled. "Someday," he whispered. "Someday, I will leave this room and make my little sister healthy again. I have to fight and keep trying." He took a deep breath, set his glass aside, and began cleaning his room. Although it still looked dirty and messy, he felt like he had taken the first step towards improving his life. "Sighh... I'd better clean up this pigsty rather than drinking alcohol constantly," muttered Kaito as he rummaged through the trash around him. Kaito, who was cleaning the garbage in the dark and dirty room, was startled when his cellphone rang. He grabbed the phone and found that it was his novel editor, Sayuri, inviting him to meet at a coffee shop in the evening. "It's been a while since we last met, Kaito. How are you?

*** "Are you okay?" Kazuki asked gently. Kaito could only weakly nod in response, still too shocked and injured to speak properly. Kazuki disregarded Kaito and effortlessly defeated the disguised kidnappers. "You're alive, but you're in a very weak condition," Kazuki stated as he finally glanced over at the fallen Kaito. Then, Kazuki turned and walked towards the little girl who was crying. Kazuki felt pity seeing the trembling girl in front of him. He gently embraced her and comforted her with a soft voice. "Be calm, you're safe now. No one will hurt you anymore," Kazuki reassured while gently stroking the girl's hair. The little girl continued to cry, but gradually her sobs subsided. Kazuki kept caressing her hair, providing the sense of security she needed. "Who are you?" the little girl asked with a hoarse voice and teary eyes. "I'm Kazuki, your friend," Kazuki answered softly. "I came to rescue you from the people who kidnapped you." The little girl continued to cry, b

***At this time, Livy with Sir Robert, her loyal guard, had finally arrived safely at the Capital City of Nivaria, the capital of the Arthia Empire. Although Livy is the Crown Princess, she has chosen to keep her identity hidden from the public. As a result, in the Nivaria Capital, people did not recognize her as the Crown Princess, and their arrival did not cause a stir among the people.However, when they entered the city, Livy and Sir Robert were confused by the lively atmosphere around them. The clamor, laughter, and music playing made them wonder, "Why is it so lively in the Capital City of Nivaria today?"They looked around curiously, trying to figure out the reason for the excitement. The streets are filled with wandering visitors, vendors bustling their trade, and colorful decorations adorning the city's buildings and streets. Music and singing filled the air, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere.However, Livy could clearly feel that the accompaniment wasn't really happy,
