Asuna bowed to Heathcliff.
"There's nothing for you to thank me for," Heathcliff said.
"No." Asuna said, "Bringing this up at a time like this was also for the sake of our mental health, wasn't it?"
Asuna looked toward the courtyard.
All the members of Smiling Coffin had already been taken away, but others still remained here, as though they were still processing what had just happened.
"...In this battle, we killed many enemies ourselves. And among them, there were even many minors... just like me." Asuna lowered her head and looked at her hands.
"Returning to school is also meant to help everyone return to normal... I know how important proper guidance is for a child..."
Asuna's mind flashed back to her suffocating home.
"..." Heathcliff said nothing. Only after a while did he speak. "Those were other people's ideas. There are several psychologists among the players as well, and they believe the students' mental health is extremely important."
"Mm." Asuna smiled again.
"Asuna?" Kiriko called out to Asuna from over there.
Asuna bowed to Heathcliff, then headed toward Kiriko.
Heathcliff turned around.
He closed his eyes.
"There's nothing for you to thank me for."
He repeated those words once more.
The Days of Going to School in Another World
"So this place really did become a school."
"Wasn't the academy already a school?"
"I feel like it's still a little different."
After the initial turmoil, Rialucaria Magical Academy had truly become a school.
At this moment, Asuna and Kiriko were sitting in the garden of this "Magic School."
After renovations and cleanup, all the damaged parts of the school had been repaired, while the dolls and other magical items that had been placed around had all been cleared away.
