Hana then arrived at the table on where Aikari was waiting for her, and she then saw Aikari sitting there and talking out for a while. Hana then put the drink on the table and said to Aikari.
"Hey, now what are you wondering at? Am I taking too long?"
When Aikari saw Hana was there, it then just startled him. But the second Aikari looked at Hana's attitude. He doesn't understand it why. But it really reminds him of Ardia. Plus, the moment they're in now really reminds him of Ardia. He didn't know why. But he can't help but forget about the world for a while.
He wasn't able to save Ardia back then since she was really young. But can he do it now? With Hana. Can he really save her?
But Aikari then just brushed it off and looked at Hana. He thanked Hana for what the drink, and he then told Hana that there was just something in his mind and he couldn't stop but thinking about it for a long time.
Of course, hearing that makes Hana wonder what it is. Hana didn't know much about Aikari, but she did watch Aikari all this time. So there are a things about Aikari that she knows and she doesn't. Hana was thinking that it would annoy Aikari if she asked him about that. So she then just sat there and ask Aikari a question.
She wants to make sure that Aikari did remember her or not. So she then asked Aikari.
"Hey, did you remember you have this one girlfriend with a long red hair and the same eyes color as me? Plus she's really sweet and really a match for you."
Hana did add a little thing there. But yet Aikari did think deeper about it. When Hana saw Aikari are taking it deeper, she couldn't help but laugh at him. Aikari then asked Hana why did she laughed at him, and Hana then said that she never expected that her joke would make Aikari think so hard. But Aikari didn't mad at her; instead, he then says, "That's glad then. It just won't it be bad if I forgot something? It will be sad, right?"
Those words from Aikari just somehow affected her. Since it was what she was currently having. But to even be sad, it is something that she wanted all this time. She wants to exist in the same world as they did. So that she can have her own story.
"Well, to forget about someone is really bad attitude. It will somehow make them sad, don't you think? To forget about people. Even if that person is not that close to you, it might be sad, right?"
Hana looked down as she said that. Aikari realized that and he could feel a sadness by that. He wants to ask Hana if there was something matter. But Hana then brushed it off by saying, "You do not need to think about it that deep. I'm just talking randomly" Aikari got it and he then took the juice and drank it.
As they were drinking, they then saw a guy appear in front of them. Aikari looked up at that guy first since from his sight he could clearly see that guy. He was expecting that guy to say something to him, but he then saw that guy looking at Hana. Maybe that guy just knows Hana and wanted to talk with her. So Aikari didn't say anything and just sat down.
Hana did see that guy from before come at her and look at her. She doesn't know what is his problem is. Maybe he's a stalker or something. So out of curiosity, Hana then asked that guy "oh you're the guy from before. Did you need anything?" The guy then just smiled and he then asked Hana if she didn't mind if he sat with her.
But Hana then quickly grabs Aikari's hand and says that she needs to go somewhere else by all of a sudden with Aikari. And with that, both of them then left the cafe with the drink in their hand.
When Hana was grabbing Aikari away, Aikari then asked Hana, "It's weird. But did someone stalk you?" Hana then found a perfect hidden spot and she pulled Aikari into it. They both then rest there and catch their breath.
"Hah....hah.... Yeah, it seems so. That guy just somehow creeps me out. That was not the first time I saw him."
Aikari understood that, and he then could feel how dangerous did Hana felt from that. To see that Hana was cautious about that, maybe it was something serious. So Aikari then understood the situation there. Aikari then asked Hana if she wanted him to follow her home, and Hana then just accepted it, and they went home together.
(On the other hand)
When the guy from before saw Hana run with Aikari, he then just smiled in satisfaction. He looked at the way Aikari and Hana had gone too and he just sat down there. He then talked to himself.
"To live inside the world on where your memories have been rewritten. It is not a fate that you two reunited again, right? Is there something that the girl was planning? I wonder how far she can go. Because I know, the Queen can move more than a king. But eventually, I will take out that Queen piece and make it mine."
The man slurps his tea and then opens a device in his hand.
"CODE:WORLD:"
":IMAGE:"
"ERROR"
As that guy saw that, he then clenched that device tight. He was frustrated by it but since he was in public, he then just put the device down to the table and continued to drink while talking within his thoughts.
"Just how long will that pawn do this? Why is she acting like she should be able to save this world? Why did she act like that damn Aikari and Hirumi are that important to her? When she can just live with me all being lovey-dovey than she did with that person. Curse it all."
That man then saw a notification pop up on his device, and it was a encrypted message. That man didn't open it right away, and instead he just continued to finish his drink. While thinking about a lot of possibilities.
With Aikari and all the people there, he didn't remember much about what happened back then; it should've been easy for him to act now. But all of his plans got destroyed, but this one girl that was just released from the digital prison that he made there. He never thought of this kind of possibility to happen before. But since this kind of thing happens, maybe he needs to make a change of a plan.
But when he was thinking about that, he then remembered about Aikari.
Maybe Aikari didn't remember what happen inside of that world before. But he believes that from all the scope that he did before that Aikari did remember everything that happened before. So he believes that Aikari still has all of those experiences from before. That means he must be aware of Aikari too.
He can strike at any time. With all the troops he has. But Aikari is the person who has planned out a strategy to beat the double and triple size of his own troops and win the battle. It seems impossible for him to beat that kind of person. But maybe he can try by weakening the troops first? But how will that happen without letting anyone see it?
Plus, Hikari is the King who lives inside of the castle where all the troops are, and he did know that all the magic that is going to be used within the territory will be jammed by Hikari because of the unknown high-quality metal on Hikari's body that absorbs all kinds of energy inside of it. That just makes it almost impossible to do such a thing.
The man continues to think of a plan to do what he desires as he says.
"That Hana. She will definitely be mine. To do as I wish. If I claimed her inside of this world, then it wouldn't be hard to fully corrupt her when we get out of here. With that, my tale will definitely end happily."
(Aikari and Hana's situation)
Aikari and Hana are walking inside the town cautiously and they then arrived at the place on where it somehow stays hidden inside the city. Hana then let Aikari enter the place and as Aikari got in, he then saw a lot of people there.
As he looked at that, he just couldn't believe his eyes. He then asked Hana "Just how could this many fit within this kind of building?" Hana then didn't say anything about that and told Aikari that the place was a place where poor people gathered together and understood each other.
Because all of them there are seeking a peace that maybe it was almost impossible for them to reach. As Aikari heard that, he then just wondered why they don't talk with Hikari about that? He maybe could save them because that was what he was doing all the time in the Kingdom.
Hana agreed so. But with that many of them, will Hikari be able to accept them? Plus, there was nowhere they could live. There's no place inside that Kingdom that belongs to them.
Hearing that, Aikari then just thought that could be true. But at the same time, Aikari wants to know why did those people have been treated like that and are Hana a part of them? But if Hana was a part of them, does that mean a certain people are hunting them down?
But for what reason?
Aikari then wanted to know that, and he then asked Hana about that. Hana then wasn't really sure about it. But so far, she could see that there is this one organization that is targeting those people. Hana was so sure that it was an assassin that didn't use any magic. It's a physical assassin. But as for the person from before, Hana wasn't sure if that person was a part of them or not.
Hana then told Aikari that she thought that there should've been no more war after what happened. But it seems like there are still people who have greed for power and want to take it over by force. If I can, Hana would stop the war by herself, but she knows that she alone was not enough.
Aikari agreed with that too, but to see how brave Hana is, he didn't think that was impossible. Maybe they will be able to achieve the peace they seek. But it is just a matter of time for that to happen.
Aikari didn't think that Hana should make a move on her own, because that way, it could've been seen as if it was a war that she started. Unless they strike back after they get attacked.
Hana agreed with it too, but she was thinking that the reason why the stalker was from before trying to get her was because of that. But who else would be close enough to save her and cause trouble if that happened?
As Hana was thinking about that, she then looked at Aikari who was looking at her. But that look from Hana just made Aikari flushed and ask "W-what?!" That serious scene then just turned into a laugh as Hana saw how Aikari reacts to that. Hana then pointed at Aikari and said.
"It must've been because of you."
Aikari then just gets weirder because of that. Because he clearly doesn't understand anything there. Why would anyone go after him? When he actually got nothing to do with anything there.
As Hana saw Aikari begin to think about that, she then smiled and told Aikari to close his eyes. Because that may help him ease himself down.
So Aikari then just did as Hana said, but then Hana leaned in and kissed Aikari right in the mouth, which made Aikari quickly open his eyes and back up. Aikari then saw Hana just smile at him while Aikari was truly traumatized about that.
"W...what the... heck?"
