Refray seems to be genuinely planning just to take the exam and come back right away.

Meanwhile, Hikaru is clearly treating this as a farewell

If Hikaru hadn't seemed likely to secure first place, he was planning to pull out his trusted weapon, right? But in the end, since he did seem likely to get first place and then voluntarily withdrew, he never ended up using that weapon.

It's over without pulling out the weapon.

143: Anonymous from Earth

Pull out the weapon already!

I wanted to see that weapon!

Stop treating the "weapon" as a metaphor, lol.

From Reflair's perspective, the promise is probably still alive, right?

He'll definitely keep his promise and come back.

Please come back!! (begging)

The weight of a "promise" varies by region, you know.

How seriously does Reflair take it, really?

Hikaru probably treats it lightly.

Hikaru should just read the messages already. There must be so many encouraging messages waiting for him.

Serika usually explains most things, though I don't know if it's accurate.

196: Anonymous from Earth

Serika "Ah, that's very brother-like of you."

Karen "What do you mean?"

Serika "For example, if Alex were someone you disliked, you'd have refused too, and probably wouldn't have liked him in your heart. But Alex is a good person, right?"

Karen "Yeah, I guess."

Sericca: "Maybe she thought that if someone asked her like that, she wouldn't have the right to say no. It's just a matter of feelings, but my brother's too serious in the wrong way."

Karen: "Ah, I see. My brother's been stringing along Refreia, but can't say things like 'she's my girl'."

Sericca: "Exactly. If she doesn't want to be seen, it's because it's her own feelings, or she might get stubborn about it—kind of typical for my brother, though... I should've given him a little more guidance on how women think."

Karen: "Acting like he doesn't care about other women, yet deliberately ignoring them."

Sericca: "I like my brother just as he is!"

So it seems.

Sericca must be a psychology teacher or something.

Should we get another transferor to deliver the message?

Alex tried to relay it, but you just pushed him away, saying you didn't want to hear it, didn't you? I think it's pretty tough. He seemed to have taken quite a mental hit himself

He clearly refused. Said it wasn't his role to deliver that message

269: Anonymous from Earth

Then who's supposed to do it?

287: Isn't it about

realizing it yourself? Not being able to open the message is, in a way, a reflection of Hikaru's own weakness.

299: That's harsh to

say. Hikaru doesn't even know if their family is safe. Opening something that might contain decisive information takes real courage. 320:

Even if it's a prank, what

if it says "Your whole family committed suicide"? Then there'd be no way to verify the truth. What a terrible system God

created. 338: Whether he's

truly a god is still debated, after

all... 346: There's

Jeanne-chan, isn't there? Let's ask Jeanne-chan! 362:

She'd probably get furious

and scream, "I'm not a messenger girl!!!" 375: She

might get angry, but she

could still deliver the message.

388: Earth's Anonymous

I don't know about that

Should we try sending a message?

I'm counting on someone with strong feelings

400: Anonymous from Earth

Serika didn't send that to Jeanne either, right?

She only sent "Make sure you see the truth clearly," and it's unclear whether Jeanne even remembers it

411: Anonymous from Earth

Maybe she's heading toward Meltya because she remembers it?

Anyway, in the end, the race ended naturally with Jeanne in first place, right?

If Hikaru had at least managed to revive Nanami-chan, maybe he'd have found some solace

454: Anonymous from Earth

But she basically chose to save Reflair, whom she'd only met a few weeks prior, over Jeanne

462: Earth's Anonymous

Is it because he's smitten?

477: Earth's Anonymous

That's true, but still. He's even fought against the Demon King just to bring Nanami back to life. Hikaru was seriously determined to win first place.

Anyone would do the same when Refrea got hurt. Whether or not we could revive Nanami was like a gamble.

According to Alex, this demon lord was significantly stronger than any previous ones encountered in the labyrinth. The mistake was misjudging the distribution of explorers, assigning too many strong parties to the first half.

570: Anonymous from Earth

Jardan explained it to Alex, but apparently in the past they used to evenly distribute their combat power. However, that often resulted in multiple casualties, or sometimes even a near-fatal battle depending on the Demon King's strength. So, the guild changed tactics to split into strong and weak sides, attacking with the stronger side—just like they did this time. And that strategy has worked remarkably well, reducing failures to about one in ten. In other words, the guild had already factored in situations like this one.

587: Anonymous from Earth

Guess the well-intentioned approach backfired. Hikaru really did an amazing job.

599: Anonymous from Earth

Since ordinary Silver-ranked parties couldn’t even manage much, Hikaru must really be on par with Gold or even Magical Silver-level strength.
