Should they stay and help this world?
An ordinary magus would have fled long ago in a situation like this. The gains were not proportional to the cost, and selfless dedication was not a noble spirit a qualified magus possessed.
But were they really going to leave this world?
Gray did not know either. Her heart was filled with confusion, and she subconsciously looked toward Olga Marie beside her, only to find that Olga Marie had seemingly turned to look at her at the very same moment.
As though she had seen through the confusion in Gray's heart, Olga Marie crossed her arms and spoke with feigned pride.
"Do whatever you want. Are you worried about us? There is no need for that. As the heir of Animusphere, if I shrink back when faced with hardship, Brother Michael will be disappointed!"
"You don't need to worry about us either."
Sakura stepped forward with Aya, smiling as she spoke. Then she reached out and hooked her arm around Kischurche's.
"If we run into danger, Teacher, you'll definitely protect your adorable disciples, right? Waaah, waaah."
"Stop messing around."
He looked seriously at Gray. She was clearly the "protagonist" of this adventure, and judging by what he knew of Teacher Michael, there was no way Michael would let them leave so easily.
Rune spoke softly in a deep voice. Though her voice was heavy, it carried a firm resolve.
"Faced with Ishruna's plight, you have not changed anything, but in the end, there are still things you can do."
Before he could finish, the flushed Rune interrupted him by shaking Add violently. Bringing up what had happened when she was little in front of so many people was far too embarrassing.
The Church was also enveloped by the light rising from the ground.
