After everything finally settled, the group of friends could at last relax completely and return to their respective lives.
At least Kojo, Yuma, Nagisa, and Shion would not run into any more trouble. They could return to their daily lives without having to worry about anything else.
Asagi and Kishiki, however, had work to do. Together with Natsuki, they had to clean up the aftermath of this incident alongside the Artificial Island Management Corporation.
For example, negotiations and reconciliation with the member states of the Sanctuary Treaty would require them to appear in person.
Luo Zhen, on the other hand, had ended up with nothing to do.
Although he had been the central figure in this incident and had even nearly wiped out the Sanctuary Treaty forces single-handedly, the other side would certainly demand an explanation from him. Even if it was only a superficial interrogation, they had to give the people an account of what had happened. Yet Natsuki simply threw out one sentence.
"I'll handle anything that comes up. You just stay put like a good boy."
The elder sister had been as forceful and domineering as ever, protecting Luo Zhen completely. On top of that, the Three Saints of the Lion King Organization were reportedly coming to Kageno Island in person to stand on Luo Zhen's side. The Aldeia Kingdom would likewise attend the meeting alongside the Artificial Island Management Corporation, based on the fact that Shion had been threatened by the Sanctuary Treaty forces here and had nearly lost her life. They would go head-to-head with the Sanctuary Treaty member states. Natsuki was confident that she could make those countries swallow this loss in silence.
Of course, no matter what, the other side would have to swallow it.
Did they really dare to target Luo Zhen
