I was pretty much running at this point, my feet were moving so damn fast.
I didn't want to think about it.
'Happy birthday, human.'
Sera's sudden wish made me halt in my steps.
The interaction with Ruby flashed in my mind—her cheerful smile, the way she tilted her head, the way her lips moved when she called my name.
'Hey! Don't ignore me!' Sera shouted.
'Yeah, yeah. Thanks for the wish.'
Well it's been a whole week.
We returned after a whole week.
Calming my mind, I started moving toward the exit.
A few guards stood at the door, and beyond them, a swarm of reporters with large cameras was stationed outside.
Even from here, I could see a commotion, some parents, probably commoners, were creating a scene.
Their desperate pleas and anger were justified.
It had been two whole hours since we teleported back from the Demon Continent, and we were still being held here.
