An Extra’s POV

The Royal Estate's open field, which was empty just yesterday, was packed to the brim with all the nine Otherworlders.

Well, eight of them—since Adonis went to meet the Royal Council after making the announcement that all of them should all rendezvous at this point in time.

As such, the students all waited for any sign of the Hero and the leaders of the Alliance.

"What's going on now?"

"Why's there another meeting when we just had one yesterday?"

"I'm supposed to be chilling in the town today, you know?"

"Hopefully, this doesn't take too long…"

Thankfully, the latter's statement was answered by the appearance of the Royal Council Members and Adonis from within a swirling portal.

Everyone instantly recognized the portal, so they kept their eyes peeled on its entrance, but the spatial rift just closed as abruptly as it opened.

There was no sign of the Dark Adventurer at all.

"EHHHHHHHH…?!"

The students all responded with surprise, seeing only three—rather than four—to emerge from the warped space.

"We just concluded a meeting with Sir Ralyks, but he had to quickly attend to something so he couldn't stop by." Adonis quickly addressed the voices of the students, but it wasn't enough.

"N-not even to say hi…?" Belle's face was particularly crestfallen.

"W-well… he does send his regards." Adonis quickly added, hoping it would help lighten up the mood.

Thankfully, it did!
