That evening, Rito was feeling a little tight, so he decided to go for a walk. Rito ended up in a quiet bayside where the searing sound echoed throughout the entire area, but all the people were outside on the beachside, with an old grandma sitting on the bench quietly gazing at the sky with a slight nostalgic touch.
"What a beautiful world this is in comparison to that of the world from my world."
As he silently observed the sea for a moment before heading back to his house, Rito felt conflicted about everything.
"Mikan, I am back. You are still up too, Beta!" Rito chatted with Mikan and Beta before heading back to his room.
Deciding that he needed to sleep because his mind was still racing and he was feeling extremely exhausted from the entire ordeal, Rito flopped onto the bed and promptly fell asleep.
"He is sleeping..." Rito was sound asleep when Mikan and Beta silently entered the room. They laughed as they stared at Rito's face as they did so, then walked over and sat down next to him.
Neither of them noticed the slight change in Rito's expression, but he was at ease because he recognized Mikan and Beta and slept deeper than usual.
"He is sleeping so tight!" Since Zeta and Delta usually sleep next to Rito, Beta grinned and spoke as she stared at his sleeping face, remembering her time in their world.
Rito was used to having Zeta and Delta sleep next to him, but Beta was also accustomed to staring at him as he slept in silence.
Because of this, whenever Beta witnessed him dozing off, there was a sense of calm that always made her feel really at ease around him, especially his serene smile.
"Yeah, but there is something that has been bothering him for sure." As per usual, Mikan was able to spot Rito's subtle changes, and she was particularly renowned for spotting these changes by observing Rito's behavior and usual demeanor.
"You sure can tell them apart, although even I have a hard time guessing that." Beta felt a little jealous of Mikan's relationship with Rito, which was deeper than any girl she had met yet.
"How long do you think I have lived with Rito? Something like this is already pretty easy to tell, but making him believe in me and tell me is harder than that."
After joining the guild, Mikan experienced conflicted emotions.
She could also sense that Rito might have experienced dangerous times while working for the guild, which left her with an empty feeling.
Mikan also yearned to be strong enough to assist Rito in solving his current problem.
However, given her current strength and capability, she was powerless to solve Rito's problems and could only enlist Beta's assistance if needed.
"There is nothing wrong with that, Mikan-san, and I will help you out and make you stronger, so just try your best." Beta decided to train Mikan because she anticipated that there would be less time for them to be together once she started school and that she might be in danger.
However, she soon discovered that Mikan's magic talent was far superior to her own.
Rito returned to school the following morning and saw Kotegawa arguing with someone about something, but it appeared that neither party was acting particularly repentantly about it and was instead being completely sarcastic about it.
"Kotegawa-san, is something wrong?" Rito walked to ask Kotegawa, and when the guy beside Kotegawa saw Rito, he felt shocked, directly admitted his mistake, and vanished from that spot.
"Yuki-kun. Ah, did you do something?"
Yui Kotegawa initially felt happy as she turned to greet her friend, but she soon realized that the other man she was speaking to must be terrified of something because he immediately left the conversation and ran away from the place while admitting his mistake.
"Really, I did nothing, and plus, I don't even know that man from before."
Rito was being honest when he said he had no memory of that boy, but after seeing their reactions, he began to wonder whether the previous man might be connected to the group from last night because he thought the man's back resembled someone he knew well.
"Also, he looked apologetic enough, so why not let him go for today, and we can deal with him later if he continues to smoke in school like that again?"
Kotegawa agreed with Rito that there was no need to pursue this further since he had already expressed his regret for everything; however, for some reason, she felt a little more secure and safe with Rito nearby.
"Then Kotegawa, I have something to do and will go back for now. See ya!" Rito then began to make her way to Mikado sensei's workplace, where she discovered that she was on time for the day.
"He is weird!" When Kotegawa finally concluded that there was nothing wrong with the school's grounds and that Rito was also able to return to class, she grinned and murmured. Rito was soon to follow.
"Haruna! Good morning." Rito greeted Haruna as she sat on her seat, then sat down next to her and looked at the notebook on the bench before turning to talk with her about this morning.
Since they have a lot to talk about and Risa is not present, having Rito next to her and chatting with him makes them both happy.
While Kotegawa saw them chatting, she felt a weird feeling for the first time, but she could not tell what it was and had a ticklish feeling about it.
She pulled out the notes and began to read through them despite shaking her head, but for some reason she was unable to focus and would occasionally glance in their direction.
After finally being able to focus on the register and begin to read it through again, Rito turned to face Kotegawa and smiled, which caused all of her negative feelings to subside and a smile to appear on her lips subconsciously.
This time, however, there was a difference, and her mind did not wander in another direction.
"Rito! What happened?" Kotegawa, who was working on something, caught Haruna's attention before Rito, who was staring at her with curiosity.
"Haha! I felt Kotegawa looking at us and thinking, If we were talking to loud to make her angry or something, you know?"
Haruna laughed as she heard Rito say it, even though she was also aware of Yui's behavior and thought it might be the cause.
"Yeah, that would be for the better, just in case!"
Two of them laughed and silently took out their books to read, while Rito continued to look around the internet for news details, like stocks and other things.
Rito had been paying attention to stock market trading for some time before receiving his 2 million yen because he now had some money to invest in order to temporarily become wealthy.
Even though he had never been an expert in the stock market, he was able to buy stock in a number of companies, including Apple, WhatsApp, and many others, that were showing signs of becoming very wealthy in the near future.
At the same time, Mikado sensei's room was filled with the sound of typing. She was looking at the young child in front of her and knew that she was the best person she could find to help Rito.
It took her a long time to convince her to come here and look into the situation because, after targeting Rito, those people had finally pushed her to the limit of her patience.
There was nothing stopping her from making them pay for attacking Rito, who was defenseless.
Anyone seeing her in this dress form would gag at the sight of her long legs and black stockings, which perfectly complemented her sexy attire.
Inside the white lab coat, Mikado sensei was only wearing black stocking and gutter stock, making her an amazing sight to see, although there was no one around to appreciate that look of her.
