Despite Theo's greeting, which contained the old etiquette, Luna still had a sullen face.
"Hey, I told you to come right away! When were you planning to come?"
"I apologize, Principal. I was busy and planned to visit you next week."
Theo bowed his head again with a posture of impeccable politeness.
Luna's expression softened.
"But you're too late! Luna hates waiting! Got it?! Next time, come within three days even if you're late!"
"I will do so. I will remember, Principal."
As Luna was about to pat Theo's shoulder, she tilted her head in wonder.
"But! Now that I think about it, all classes have ended! Let's go together now!"
"Ah, I apologize. I must urgently visit my family home today. I am currently waiting for a carriage."
"Your family home? Is it far? Where is it?"
"Polaris."
"Polaris...? It sounds familiar. Where have I heard it before?"
Luna pondered for a moment.
Then, Siena, who appeared behind her, replied.
"You silly little kid. That's where you captured that enslaved inventor a while ago."
"Ah... right! The place with the kind auntie! She gave me lots of delicious pudding!"
Luna remembered Eve Waldeurk, the head of the Polaris Immigration Office.
Eve was only in her early twenties, but Luna still called her auntie.
"Okay, I've decided! I want to go to Polaris too! I'm going to eat lots of pudding. I've been tired from teaching those stupid brats lately. Luna wants to take a break!"
"This insolent little kid. You should ask the other person's opinion first!"
Siena scolded, but Luna confidently crossed her arms.
"That auntie said I could come to play anytime!"
"Lies."
"You dumb ear. It's true!"
Saying so, Luna confidently crossed her arms again.
Siena, unusually, made a very logical guess.
"Considering all your spirit friends, kid, she probably couldn't say no, right?"
Hearing this, Theo and Aisha's eyes widened in surprise.
'Is that something Siena could say?'
Even Aisha wondered if Siena, who had been undergoing strenuous training that didn't suit her, had lost her mind.
Or if she had originally lost her mind, and now it had returned to its original state.
Luna screamed.
"No...! It's not true! I sent away all the kids back then?! It's true!"
However, her demeanor was somewhat awkward, like a child caught lying.
While the logical Siena was overpowering the tantrum-throwing Luna.
"Nice to meet you, Theo. Hmm, but there are other distinguished guests here."
A man in a suit greeted them as he got off the carriage.
Luna narrowed her eyes and looked at the man.
"What's with this guy? He's too flashy for a carriage driver. Hey, who is this guy?"
Before Theo could open his mouth, the man quickly took off his hat and bowed to Luna.
"Hahaha, I thought there was a noble aura about you, and indeed, you are the Principal of Elinia Academy. Thank you for the compliment. I am Taylor, the vice-chief of the Healers' Guild [The Hilt]."
The other gatekeeper, who had been scowling, was also surprised.
This was because a boy with the Waldeurk family's signature silver hair and red eyes had stepped out from the carriage.
Moreover, he was a figure who could be considered among the most valued on the continent these days.
There's hardly anyone in the large city of Polaris who wouldn't recognize the boy in front of them.
The boy handed over his identification and said,
"You've been working hard in the middle of the night. I need to enter urgently, so please proceed with the inspection."
"Oh, no, Theo young master! How could we dare to inspect the future lord of the city. We will open the gate immediately!"
Krrrrr
Not long after, the gate opened.
The two gatekeepers, now fully awake, saluted Theo with a sharp angle.
"Welcome back to Polaris, young master! We will inform the head of the immigration office!"
Theo, peeking slightly out of the carriage window, replied,
"That won't be necessary. Today being Friday, it would have been a busy day, Eve must be tired."
"Oh, not at all! The head of the office always wishes to see you, young master."
"Is that so. Anyway, I should be going now to avoid being an uninvited guest. You all have worked hard."
"Not at all, young master! Once again, welcome back to Polaris!"
The carriage carrying Theo and his party thus entered the gate amidst the enthusiastic welcome of the gatekeepers.

Theo and his party were waiting for Eve, the head of the Polaris immigration office, in the VIP room of the office.
Luna, sprawled on the sofa, said,
"I wish Auntie would come quickly. The pudding she gave was really tasty... Beep-Beep liked it too."
Theo, sitting on the sofa with impeccable posture, responded to her comment.
"By Beep-Beep, I assume you mean your pet cat. It seems you've found someone to take care of it."
"...No. Beep-Beep has been neglecting me lately. It's always sticking with Sonya. I guess it's bored of me."
"Hahaha, I also have a dog that doesn't come to me much, so my secretary is in charge of it. Speaking of which, Amy. Who did you leave Little Fist with?"
Little Fist was originally supposed to come along, but due to the sudden inclusion of Siena, it was decided to leave him with someone else.
Amy, standing behind Theo, answered.
"I asked Camilia."
It was the name of Piel's maid.
Theo slowly nodded his head.
'If it's Piel... it should be fine.'
Piel has a pretty harsh tongue for a woman, but she's tight-lipped.
Even if Little Fist were to say something, she wouldn't go around spreading it.
"Well done."
As Theo was praising Amy.
Bang Bang!
Boom!
The sound of a bomb exploding was heard.
Judging by the sound, it was quite close.
