I'm telling you, I crushed that demon!

No, what you "crushed" was a fake.

I beat the real one before you ever got to.

Yeah right! YOU'RE the one who beat a fake!

Lugina didn't fight the demon alone. I was there too, and that demon was real.

Umm... Hans and I also defeated that same demon.

Isn't that right, Hans?

......

In short, we all defeated the same demon in entirely different locations.

Yuni, is my assumption correct?

Indeed it is.

Paris, you don't believe me, do you...?

This is not about whether I choose to believe you or not.

It also doesn't matter which one was fake and which wasn't. Not as long as we completed the task we were given.

The real problem here is...

That our situation has not changed even after defeating the demon.

Exactly.

We defeated the demon, and yet you're all still here...

Does that mean that now we're left without a single clue as to how to get back home?

I don't want to upset you, but I'm afraid you may not be entirely incorrect...

Velnar! Yuni! What are we going to do now?!

There is no need for us to hurry. We should take our time figuring this out.

It may be the case that the demons we defeated were all fake.

Then I should just keep destroying everything until we find the real one!

Hah! Must be nice to be a simple-minded idiot.

By the way, I ain't through with you yet. I can finish you off before we get to the real demon.

Bring it on then. I'll turn you into an obedient little puppy.

S-Stop it you two!

Yuni, please stop Velnar!

Understood.

Y-Yuni, quit it!

Lugina, behave yourself!

Lady Tilith and the others have yet to return.

We have to focus on finding another way to fix this...

Why don't the bigwigs from the Hall figure out a way to fix this for themselves?

It's obvious that the Elder Summoners already have a hand in this anyway.

Hans! Quit staring off into space and start moving!

Something might happen if you do.

Hans, I'm sorry to trouble you, but please bear with us a little longer.

I'm sure that our friends in the other world are doing their best together.

So I want us to try whatever we can from our side too!

He he. It looks like Phoena trusts her friends a great deal.

I do! They're my precious friends, after all!

Hmm. I guess it's still no good.

It would seem the answer to our problem doesn't rely solely on our side of the spectrum.

Well, I'm sure once they start figuring things out over there things will start moving over here as well.

I'll just keep my eyes peeled for now.
