After Ziel told Kalya and the girls about his past in full, they continued their tea and talked about other things. Princess Cordelia still couldn’t believe Ziel’s story.

Even though Princess Cordelia knew Ziel’s power was extraordinary, the story about reincarnation was something she found absurd. On the other hand, Kalya and the other girls easily accepted Ziel’s story without the slightest hesitation. It made Princess Cordelia smile helplessly and feel envious of those girls who could put their complete trust in Ziel.

Not long after that, Princess Freya, Princess Aishia, and Lilith left the place because they wanted to rest in their rooms until the magic train was repaired. Meanwhile, Princess Cordelia had to meet her father to discuss the recruitment of new soldiers to fill the vacancies of the soldiers who had died during the battle against Fornius.

So only Ziel and Kalya were left in that place at the moment. Kalya got up from her chair and sat on the chair right next to Ziel. She even shifted her chair closer to him. Then Kalya behaved as spoiled as usual when they were alone. She rested her head on Ziel’s shoulder and intertwined her fingers with him.

“Aren’t you afraid that someone from the academy will see us?” Ziel thinks Kalya’s actions are getting bolder by the day. She unhesitatingly indulged herself in Ziel’s arms in such an open space.

“That’s not a problem for me. If they want to see, then look at our intimacy! After all, no one from the academy came to this place apart from the girls and me.” Kalya said confidently, and she tightened her grip on Ziel’s hand.

“Has something happened?” After becoming a student at the academy, Ziel spent more time alone with Kalya than Clara because he lived not far from Kalya’s mansion. He knows Kalya’s nature and personality very well because Kalya never holds back and becomes her true self when she is with him. Ziel knows that Kalya won’t act like this for no reason

“Hmm… I was thinking about your old acquaintance from the divine race. Is she a girl?” Kalya asked in a spoiled voice. If other men heard it, they wouldn’t be able to suppress their desire to hug Kalya. Ziel raised his eyebrows after hearing Kalya’s question. He wasn’t mesmerized by her voice, but he thought Kalya’s woman instinct was sharp.

“You are right. She’s a girl.” Ziel answered honestly. He doesn’t need to hide anything from Kalya.

“When you say she is an old acquaintance of yours, do you mean you had known her in your past life before you reincarnated?” Kalya threw another question at Ziel.

“Yes. I only met her once in the past, and I recognized her again when I fought two divine race people a week ago.” Ziel calmly responded to Kalya’s question. He could see Kalya’s face slightly pouted on his shoulder.

“Is that so? But I feel your mood has changed a bit today. Is it because of your old acquaintance or the reincarnation of your friend?” Kalya no longer hides her jealousy toward Ziel. Previously she thought only Dryads might threaten her and took Kalya’s special position in Ziel’s heart because Dryads were his old acquaintances. But today, two girls from Ziel’s past appeared simultaneously. This made Kalya feel very threatened.

/>Kalya had been feeling restless ever since she heard the full story of Ziel’s past. Luckily, she could restrain herself in front of Princess Freya and the other girls. Even though Kalya said she was willing to share Ziel with another woman, she didn’t want her special position in Ziel’s heart to be taken by another girl. Thinking about it made her chest hurt.

“That is… I did get a little carried away with those two reunions. Does it bother you?” Ziel looked directly into Kalya’s eyes and vice versa. They were so close that they could feel each other’s breath. If one of them moved even a little, their lips would touch.

“Hmm… I do feel a little bothered by that.” Kalya honestly admits it. Then she moved slightly and placed a light kiss on Ziel’s lips.

“I’m sorry if that bothered you. But I did not have a special relationship with the two of them in the past.” Ziel kissed Kalya’s forehead and did it long enough to calm her mind. Kalya closed her eyes and felt the affection in Ziel’s treatment of her.

After that, Ziel stopped kissing her and gently stroked her head. Kalya still closed her eyes and enjoyed their intimacy.

“Ziel, between me, Dryad, your old friend and old acquaintance, who is the prettiest? I want you to answer honestly.” Kalya asked seriously.

“I actually wanted to answer that each of you has its own beauty, but you definitely won’t want to accept that answer, right?” Ziel asked softly directly in Kalya’s ear and made her whole body tremble. Kalya could only nod with a flushed face.

“Since you want me to answer honestly, the answer is an old acquaintance of mine.” Ziel didn’t know how Kalya would react after hearing that answer. He followed Kalya’s request and answered based on what he saw with his eyes.

“Is that so? I thought I was beautiful enough to make you say that I am the most special woman in the world, but it turns out that your old acquaintance is much prettier.” Kalya pouted after hearing Ziel’s words. She looked somewhat dissatisfied with the answer.

“You don’t have to be the most beautiful woman to be special. Even though I got to know them first, you are still the most special woman to me, and no one will be able to replace you.” Ziel said softly while caressing Kalya’s smooth cheeks.

“Ziel…” Kalya called the man next to her with a voice full of love. Her eyes were wet, and her body was hot. Kalya slowly brought her thin red lips closer to Ziel’s. But a voice from behind them stopped her.

“Cough… Can you not do that in an open space like this?” The person speaking in a somewhat irritated voice was Ziel’s current employer, Clara. She did not come alone to the place. Kyouka and Princess Iris accompany her. The three girls’ faces were red to the point of their ears when they saw the scene before their eyes.

“Could you come late or pretend you didn’t see us here?” Kalya asked calmly. She already knew the three girls were behind her, but she ignored them and only focused on the man next to her.

“I didn’t expect the cold Miss Kalya to have such a side.” Clara was taken aback after hearing Kalya’s reply.

Kalya just smiled and didn’t answer her words. Then she remembered the story about the reincarnation of Ziel’s friend in his past life. Kalya looked at the three girls and opened her mouth.

“Are you okay right now? I’ve heard everything from Ziel. Does that memory still bother you?” Kalya asked with a concerned face.

“Hmm… we still don’t know that. When we sleep at night, the memory comes in dreams, and it doesn’t happen every day either. So we have to wait three to seven days to find the answer.” Kyouka answered Kalya’s question. Among the three girls, she was the one who understood their situation the most.

“Is that so?” Kalya glanced at Ziel and asked for the answer.

“It was like that before. However, I have sealed ‘her’ soul so that you won’t be bothered by that dream anymore.” Ziel explained to Kalya and then looked at the three girls behind him.

Clara, Princess Iris, and Kyouka trembled for no apparent reason. They didn’t know when Ziel did that. They remembered Ziel pointing at them and a ball of light shooting into their foreheads. Not long after, the three girls lost their consciousness.

Kyouka’s face suddenly turned red because she remembered something. She was the only one who still had consciousness until Ziel left their room. Kyouka’s current feelings were very complicated after vaguely remembering what Ziel had done to her before she completely lost consciousness. Whether it was her own feelings or the influence of Shiori’s memories, she still didn’t know the answer.

“Eh!? So we won’t have that dream again?” Clara was shocked after hearing Ziel’s answer. Even so, her face looked a bit displeased.

“Is that so? You have sealed ‘her’ soul?” Princess Iris smiled bitterly. She knew that she should feel relieved after hearing that. But oddly enough, she felt disappointed instead.

“Yes. You don’t have to worry about that anymore. You are you and not her.” Ziel said seriously to the three girls. He didn’t want Shori’s memories to change their personalities, especially Clara.

“Ziel, can you not say that? Those words hurt so much for some reason.” Princess Iris smiled painfully after hearing Ziel’s words. She felt a thorn pierce her heart when Ziel said that.

Clara and Kyouka nodded in agreement with Princess Iris’ words. On the one hand, they were happy when Ziel said that because they felt that Ziel saw them as their current self and not Shiori. But on the other hand, they felt that Ziel was subtly rejecting their existence. The three girls felt pain in their chests, probably because of Shiori’s soul within their bodies.

“I understand. You better sit down first. You just woke up and haven’t had breakfast. I have already prepared food in my space storage to eat when you wake up.” Ziel could see the painful expressions on their faces and decided not to talk about it anymore and changed the subject.

Ziel took out food and drink from his space storage. The originally empty table was filled with various kinds of food and drink. The three girls’ stomachs rumbled upon seeing the food on the table, and Ziel heard it.

Clara, Princess Iris, and Kyouka’s faces were red to their ears from embarrassment. They realized that their stomachs were empty because they had not had breakfast since morning. But it wasn’t very comfortable because Ziel and Kalya heard it.

“Okay. How long are you going to stand there in silence? You have to eat it right away before it gets cold. I will also dine with you at this table.” Kalya smiled and invited the girls to sit down immediately.

Clara, Princess Iris, and Kyouka nodded and quickly sat on the chair in front of Ziel. The three girls ate while lowering their heads. They were still embarrassed by what had happened before. The place was silent as neither of them spoke. Ziel also didn’t want to disturb them while enjoying their breakfast.

After eating, the three girls went straight back to their room. Kalya also reluctantly had to leave because she had to attend a meeting with the academy teachers and Merlick. The person remaining in that place was Ziel. He sat quietly, looking at the sea view.

Time passed quickly, and without realizing it was already evening. The magic train repair went smoothly and was finished on time. The entire academy’s people were gathered at the parked magic train. They will return to the academy as scheduled.

King Raghnall and the soldiers came to escort the departure of people from the academy, especially his daughter, Princess Rinne. Ever since he returned to the Cirlus Kingdom, King Raghnall had never discussed the person responsible for defeating Fornius, even though Merlick had asked him repeatedly. Apart from King Raghnall, Princess Cordelia also came to the place. Her feelings were very complicated when she saw Ziel enter the magic train.

When Clara was about to get on the magic train, she saw Princess Irene coming toward her. King Redis and his family decided to return to the Demon Kingdom once their state had completely recovered. After the incident, King Redis and Queen Triana were hospitalized for a whole week. Their current condition is much better. Because of that, Princess Irene was able to go out to escort Clara and the other girls off. But she could only meet with Clara at this time because the other girls had already entered the magic train first.

“Clara, I’m sorry that I only see you now. Be careful on the road and don’t forget me. Please convey my regards to Ken and the other girls!” Princess Irene said as she tightly gripped Clara’s hand. Her eyes were wet, and she looked like she could cry at any moment.

“You don’t need to apologize because I know your situation. I will convey your greetings to them. You don’t have to worry because we will meet again!” Clara hugged Princess Irene, and tears flowed from her eyes. She felt sad when she heard Princess Irene’s words.

“Yes!” Princess Irene could no longer suppress her sadness, and tears rolled down her cheeks. Clara reluctantly had to let go of her arms and get into the magic train because it was time for them to depart. Not long after, the magic train floated and dashed away from the Cirlus Kingdom.

***

The sky above the Cirlus Kingdom had darkened, and the sun had turned to the moon. Dark clouds covered the starry sky above the castle of the Cirlus Kingdom. Among the clouds suddenly appeared someone whose figure was not clearly visible, staring intently at the castle.

“Hmm… that irregular guy seems to have gone a long way. I wouldn’t have lost him if it wasn’t for me taking a lot of time to adapt to this body. Well then, I’ll have to catch up with another irregular besides that guy. The three irregulars are moving at high speed towards…The Beast Kingdom?” The figure then disappeared along with the dark clouds above the Cirlus Kingdom castle.
