“Thank you,” he said. If he could move his hands in this position, he could reach her behind.

“Why are you thanking me?” she asked, though she knew the answer.

Akuto put his hand inside her skirt.

“Oh...!” she moaned.

He hesitated for a moment, but then he realized it was one of her usual jokes. He searched with his fingers for her tail and pulled it.

There was a low whine as the light disappeared from her eyes. She’d shut down. The tail is a Liradan’s switch.

He unwrapped Korone’s arms from his torso and sat her down.

“B-Boss...” Hiroshi said, a little frightened.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, it’s just... if what she said was true, it’s really bad. But what will you do after you rescue Keena?” Hiroshi asked.

Akuto didn’t answer. He didn’t know. But Yuko answered for him.

“You’ll have gone against the Teruya, and against Suhara. And if that happens, it’s really bad for the Hattori clan!”

“Th-That’s right. I’m worried about that,” Hiroshi said.

“That’s why I said we’re done with you! Stay away from our family!” Yuko yelled.

Hiroshi got in between the two of them and spoke in a timid but firm voice.

“No, I mean, there has to be a better way. The boss said he’d make everything work out. Like, maybe somebody who can’t be detected by mana could rescue her...”

“If you’re talking about Brave...” Akuto looked down at Hiroshi as he spoke. “...I can’t count on someone to help if I don’t know what he’ll do. And Brave has taken out bad guys before. I’ve seen it. He also killed the demon beasts. He’s no different than Suhara, who kills traitors before they do anything. There has to be a better way, yes. But I’m not asking Brave for help.”

Now it was Hiroshi’s turn to get emotional.

“That’s what strength is, right? If you want to protect your family and the people you care about, you need to defeat the people who threatened them. That’s what humans have done for thousands of years. You’re getting emotional too! You’re going to protect Keena and sacrifice the class rep!”

“That’s not right. I’ve finally understood what I can do, and what I should be.” Akuto moved away.

“Wait, boss! You can’t do this!” Hiroshi yelled. “Just stay here, and it’ll all work out. So...!”

Akuto ignored him. He tried to walk away.

“Where are you going, anyway? You can’t make it in time on foot! Just this once, you’re wrong! Don’t you know that you’re the one that’s making the demon beasts go crazy?”

Those words were enough to make even Akuto stop.

“That’s why Yuko is scared. The demon beasts’ mana is inside her body, and because of you it’s about to go out of control!” Hiroshi realized what he’d just blurted out a moment after he’d said it, but it was too late.

Akuto turned around with a sad expression.

“Then you protect her,” he said. “There’s something I have to do. I finally understand. I’m going.”

Akuto started to walk again.

“Why won’t you listen to me?!” Hiroshi yelled. But he didn’t follow.

Yuko had doubled over to the ground in pain.
