"Bye! Good bye! See you next time! That one, I don't want to see you again."

Finally, the training camp is over. I opened a portal close to the city they were returning. And I waved to everyone who passed the portal.

All of them have agreed to keep most thing as secrets. Except for the training methods which is useful for other people as well. But only to our other allies who were unable to come. And they can't tell other people as well.

Of course, there's a limit to it. I told those I taught air magic and summoning magic to not tell anyone no matter if they are allies or not. Air element doesn't mean much even if we keep it as secrets, but the portals from summoning magic is our trump cards against the cult. Though I think some summoners in the cult already capable of doing it since they will attack Monsters World in the future.

It's time for those from Mellian to return.

"Roy! I'm gonna miss you!" Hill approach me with arms spread open as if he wants to hug me. Of course, I stopped him with my foot on his face.

"I won't. I'm extremely happy that you'll be leaving. Farewell." I kicked him into the portal. Then the others from Mellian entered the portal as they bid their farewell… while showing us their muscles. Enough with that!

I have given everyone here the good training set to improve their stamina, and speed. Unlike those from Mellian in the past, whom I gave the training sets to make their body bigger. But when I gave the new training sets to them and told them that it's mainly about increasing speed and stamina, they politely refused. Though I don't know if flexing your muscles while saying no thanks is considered polite or not.

…actually, it doesn't. Refusing while flexing your muscles is not polite at all. That's just weird.

Next is Melk. Oleg, his wife, and their baby. They actually brought their baby to this training camp. It's a boy. And he's getting along well with Alan. Well, their baby is just over one year old, while Alan and Lana are already two.

"Roy, See you later."

"Yeah, bye!"

This time, our farewell is totally normal.

"Roy, thank you for guiding me with air magic. Now I have power to protect my baby. Although I don't want to participate in the war, I will try my best to protect my family." Oleg's wife said.

"Good for you. As for me, I don't want to participate in the war, but there's something that only I can do. I can't escape from it. I'm so jealous of you… anyway, good bye. We'll meet again once your weapons are prepared. I'll bring them to you." I said.

There are two air element users here other than me. I already gave each of them the prototype of a rifle, but I don't think that weapon is good for long. So, I had Marie to build new ones for them. Each of them will receive one rifle, and one pistol. Rifle is too conspicuous. But a pistol can be hidden under your clothes. Of course, I asked Marie to made them to be able to use anything small as the bullet.

As for me, I also asked for a gun as well. Just for precaution since Victoria might be too busy to come with me one day. Though I hope that won't be the case.

I can use Air Shot without using medium like guns, but using it will increase my accuracy. That's why I asked Marie to build a custom gun only for me. I asked her to build it strong enough to be used as melee weapon.

The happy family entered the portal. Then next is Ms. Wendy.

"Hmm…"

"Hmm?"

"…why aren't you entering?" I asked Ms. Wendy.

"Oh, I have been placed in Cassau for my next mission. I'll be joining your clan then." Ms. Wendy said.

"So, you received a teaching job in Cassau? Hannah will be happy when she knows that you will teach her two years from now."

Hannah is thirteen years old now. It has been three years since I returned to the past. Hannah is now also has joined the physical training like Jewel did back when she asked me to be my disciple. And since she is often being surrounded by older women, she became more mature than girls her age. But she's still playing with Daniel, Lana, and other children. The kids loved her as their big sister.

As for Daniel… he no longer asked to sleep in my bed anymore. Now he has his own room filled with toys and books. Sometime, the kids from the orphanage would sleep in his room. Which is why he no longer feel lonely. But now, I'm the one feeling lonely. Though I have girls lining up to sleep with me.

"Well, not as a teacher. But as a professor at the magic school. I will be teaching some things I learned here to the students." Ms. Wendy said.

"Is that so? I guess that's great then. Once everyone improved considerably from your lessons, you will be praised as the one responsible for the students' development. Or another teacher will be jealous of your achievements, and tries to get all the praises by saying that everything is their achievements. Good luck with that."

"Ah… that is too realistic. I can feel that it will actually happen." Ms. Wendy sighed.

Well, since she won't be going to Melk, I closed the portal after making sure that everyone has left. Next is the Capital.

When I opened it, Marie enters first followed by the others. She brought Alan and Lana over to the capital. Lana's existence is still being kept as secret, but because we gained a lot of allies, we can have one of the servants in the palace to pretend to be Lana's mother. And when Lana and Alan were seen together, they will just say that Lana is a child of the servant, and since their age is similar, the two will be seen playing together more often. Though those two will still visit Cassau from time to time. Especially if both Marie and Albert are busy.

Then, after Mustache enters the portal, I get a bad feeling.

"Roy, take care of his majesty." Mustache said that and then he left.

"Wait, what!? Albert, you're not going?" I asked Albert.

"No. I have business in Cassau as well. Bring me there with you." Albert said.

"It's not something that will annoy me, right? Please tell me I'm right."

"I don't know about that. Though it will benefit me. Let's go!"

…seems like after these two years passed, Albert already prepared a lot of troublesome stuffs for me to do. He must have been holding back a lot of tasks for me to do until the two years mark is over. And today is the day he will give me troublesome stuffs.

If I have to say, this is the part of my second life that I hate the most. Being depended upon felt great, but being depended on too much is annoying as hell. But if it's for the peace of the world, I guess I will have to do it. But I will still refuse if it's too troublesome!

I close the portals, and all that left is those from Cassau. It's finally time to go home.

I opened a portal close to the city, and once everyone entered the portal, we all entered the city. Good thing the gatekeepers during this time are our allies. Everyone who is related to those corrupt nobles who wanted to capture the girls are all dismissed or imprisoned. And the new noble in charge has recruited guards that can be trusted. Some of them are our allies who knows about the cult and fight with us. And they are the ones who couldn't join our training camp.

We greeted them on our way in, and I let the others to tell them the events that happened during the training camp. Then we continue to our base.

"Home sweet home! It's been a while since we're home!"

"What are you talking about!? You're home almost every day!" Shirley shouted.

I guess everyone knows that I keep going home from time to time. Let's pretend I don't know what they're talking about. This way, they won't ask for gifts.

"Sam! Been a while! Is there anything I need to know since I'm gone?" I asked Sam who didn't participate in the training camp, and keep working. Just like I said on the first time we met, I gave her riches. And now, she's famous in town as the richest merchant. Though half of her actual income went into me.

"…it's just less than twelve hours since you're gone. No, there's nothing new. Since you all have return, I will take my leave. Contact me if there's something important."

Just like that, Sam left. She's such a workaholic. Though she still takes care of herself just fine, so we don't need to worry about her. She's still visiting Ruby from time to time.

Everyone seems tired, so I suggest everyone to rest until noon. I hope by that time, Albert will forget what he's here for.

Oh, right! I guess Ms. Wendy will need a room since she will be staying with us from now.

I let Lina help her move in. We will gather again for lunch later.
