One Week Later.
"Ena, has Duke Voban arrived in Japan?" Kojou asked as he walked ho from school.
Though others would avoid Voban due to the vast number of Authorities he possessed, it mattered little to Kojou. With his Spiritual Sight, he could perceive divine essences and trace the source of Authorities—and with the Golden Sword, no Authority user could defeat him.
Well, if this were before he sacrificed his other Authorities, and with the restriction of using the Golden Sword only once per day, it might've been a tough fight. But he'd still win. The destructive nature of his Beast Vassal was overwhelming by default, and after his power level increased, the Beast Vassal's strength grew even more devastating.
"Duke Voban arrived in Japan at 3:25 AM," Ena replied. The History Compilation Committee had been tracking Duke Voban's movents and inford her—after all, it was no secret that Kojou and Duke Voban were destined to clash.
"So, do you know where he is now?" Kojou asked again, combat spirit burning in his eyes.
"Not yet." Ena shook her head. They still hadn't pinpointed Duke Voban's exact location; he'd been constantly on the move since arriving in Japan.
"In that case, leave this to ." Erica suddenly spoke up with a confident smile, staring at a fixed point. "There's soone I need to et—soone who should know where Duke Voban is."
"You an that silver-haired girl?" Kojou raised an eyebrow, glancing at the girl who'd been perched on a rooftop, watching the school since morning.
"Correct. She's my friend—Liliana Kranjcar." Erica's light smile twisted into a frown. "I heard she serves Duke Voban, so I wanted to confirm her intentions. If she's not committed to him, I'll make sure she joins our side."
"Seems you care a lot about this Liliana girl." Kojou studied Erica's scowling face.
Over a month had passed since he arrived in this world, and he and Erica had been inseparable. They understood each other deeply—sotis a single glance was enough to communicate volus.
"Well… she's one of my only friends, besides Arianna and Ena." Erica flushed slightly, embarrassed to admit it.
"Do what you need to. But if things go south and that old man Voban shows up, don't engage imdiately." Kojou cast a final glance at Liliana—she didn't seem to be their primary target. "If anything happens, I'll use Authority: Tempest (Gale) to reach you instantly. So don't worry—handle it your way."
"Thank you, Kojou." Erica smiled brightly and kissed his cheek. "Then I'll go."
Her joy was obvious. Though Kojou could have accompanied her, he chose to give her privacy with her friend—while remaining ready to aid her at any mont.
"Your Majesty is so considerate." Ena grinned, admitting (if only to herself) that being assigned to serve Kojou had been a blessing. He was kind, patient, and supportive—never annoyed by their actions, always willing to shoulder consequences for them.
"Though I'm like this now, I was an idiot who couldn't take a hint until two months ago." Kojou smirked wryly, rembering his past cluelessness. He'd gladly ti-travel just to slap so sense into his forr self.
"Really…?" Ena blinked in shock. She couldn't imagine it—since eting him, Kojou had always been perceptive and gentle, picking up on subtleties effortlessly.
"It's true." Kojou scratched his head awkwardly. "By the way, wanna grab a bite before heading ho?"
Since coming to Japan, Kojou had lived with Erica and Ena in a house provided by the Copper-Black Cross, who'd sworn loyalty to him. eting their king's needs was their highest priority.
"Of course! Ena knows a ran place Your Majesty will love." She bead, aware of Kojou's obsession with ran.
"Just thinking about ran makes hungrier." Kojou groaned, clutching his stomach with a pitiful expression.
"Hahaha! How about hitting the arcade after eating?" Ena's smile widened at his antics—she adored seeing Kojou's varied expressions.
"Arcade? Hell yeah." Kojou's eyes glead with more fighting spirit than when facing a Heretic God.
Erica and Ena knew Kojou loved gas—but he hated losing more than even Erica. He'd pour his soul into winning (though he never cheated). Even in defeat, he'd accept it gracefully… only to train relentlessly for a rematch. He never lost the sa ga twice in a row.
