Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

Inside the train station, people come and go.

Rhodes embarks on another journey to find the end of the world.

"Professor Rhodes, you're going on vacation and having fun, yet you're still studying soul techniques so diligently. It's truly admirable."

The witch looked at Rhodes with great interest.

At this moment, Rhodes was sitting by the window in the carriage, flipping through information related to soul magic.

Sitting next to me was Ange, who was leaning slightly against Rod. She looked unwell and seemed a little carsick.

Across from her sat Luna, curiously peering out the window at the view.

"The way to get the job done is to cherish every minute. Occasional vacations should be enjoyed, and the research on techniques should continue. Only in this way can one be considered well-rounded."

Rod answered casually.

The appearance of the witch here was somewhat unexpected for him.

Based on Rhodes' understanding of witches, she had already traveled all over the world and, unless she had to go on business trips, she spent most of her time at the academy.

So when he heard that Rhodes was preparing to search for the end of the world, he surprisingly followed along.

"Giving up his academic work to travel with us is not like the dean's style."

Even mature older sisters sometimes want to throw a little tantrum.

The witch blinked.

"Young birds must learn to fly on their own. If I am no longer here one day, the professors of the Imperial Academy will have to step up. This is just to let them get used to it in advance."

"..."

"Speaking of which, even though I'm not at the academy, the professor still calls me Dean. Does he enjoy this kind of role-playing? This witch will grant the professor permission to call me by my real name."

The witch pointed at Rhodes and smiled mysteriously.

"Your real name... is it Klara?"

Rod blurted it out.

"Huh? You actually knew that?"

The witch stared wide-eyed in disbelief, the six-pointed star in her pupils shimmering slightly.

"A witch's real name is very important, I don't think I've told the professor. How did you know?"

"...I think I saw it in some literature."

Rod said it casually.

He was also a little puzzled as to why this name had popped into his mind.

……

The train slowly pulled into the station.

"Finally...we've arrived at our destination..."

Ange, feeling dizzy, clutched Rod's sleeve and let out a listless sigh.

In contrast, Luna was in high spirits.

"Is this the Water City? I heard the marine park here is really exciting, and there are all kinds of seafood and smoothies. I can't wait!"

"It's been so long since I've been here, the water here is completely different from what I remember."

The witch sighed as well.

Generally speaking, it will take a long time to complete the procedures afterward.

However, we can always trust Professor Rhodes's foresight.

He had already arranged all the trivial matters in advance.

Checking into hotels, ordering tickets, and so on are all easily handled.

So all you have to do is enjoy it.

Except for Rhodes.

seaside.

"Teacher, let's go surfing together!"

"If you get second place, your teacher will accompany you to the beach to paint and won't mess around with you."

"You're all wrong! Professor Rhodes wants to sunbathe with me and is trying to grope my body while applying sunscreen!"

"..."

In the city.

"Teacher, hehe... um, could you lend me some money? I... I'll definitely pay it back!"

"Teacher, we don't need to worry about the second place. Let's go see the Sea God Festival performance and make up for missing it."

"Since we're already at the seaside, of course we should take a boat out to sea for an adventure. There's a registration point over there."

"..."

Inside the hotel.

Three women make a drama; they're playing cards and vying for the right to choose a room.

"Hmph, I've played cards with Livia and the others so many times, I never lose! The teacher's room is mine!"

"You're only second; I'm the top student. Only I can share a room with the teacher."

"I'm the astrological witch, I can read all your cards."

"...I booked four single rooms."

Rod said expressionlessly.

However, it was of no use.

Late at night, a noisy commotion came from the balcony.

It turned out that the three guys had run into each other during their night raid, and they started pointing fingers and attacking each other.

By the time he left the Water City, Rhodes felt utterly hopeless.

These past few days have basically been spent in a tug-of-war between the three of them.

To fulfill all their wishes, he wished he could split himself into three pieces.

Ange, Luna, and the witch were quite satisfied.

Rod felt completely drained.

But then I thought about it again.

This is just the beginning!

Next, they went to the City of the Abyss to explore the bottomless pit.

Before entering the pit, Rhode checked the equipment of the three of them. Luna did the worst job, forcing Rhode to teach her step by step.

After everything was settled, looking back, Ange and the witch had very tacitly disarmed themselves.

"..."

Fortunately, the scenery of the underground world was strange and beautiful, so the trip was worthwhile.

Leaving the City of the Abyss, they arrived at the City of the Sky.

The witch frequently visits this floating city when she's on business trips, so she's quite familiar with it.

She acted like a hostess, leading Rhodes and his two companions on various adventures, where they met scholars such as Duke Heath in Sky City.

However, judging from the expressions of Duke Heath and the others, they seemed quite wary of the witch.

"Witch Queen, you should be staying in the imperial capital, not here."

"What does it matter? Now that things have come to this, let me be willful one last time."

The witch said nonchalantly.

Finally, Rhodes saw that Sky City was going to hold a music competition and decided to get the other three to participate as well.

"Teacher, why so suddenly? This is terrible! I'm completely unprepared!"

"Heh, you can choose not to participate. As long as I and the teacher are here, that's enough."

"Could it be that Professor Rhodes has his eye on the Soul Orb? If we can get first place, we can go to the Heavenly Treasury and choose a treasure, and the Soul Orb is among them."

Regrettably.

Rhodes and his teammates ultimately came in second place.

Leaving Sky City, they went to Youdu.

A sacrificial ceremony was being held there, and Rhodes ventured deep into the Forest of the Dead to study soul magic.

As expected of Luna, the heroine of destiny, directly triggered the undead disturbance event.

After a period of chaos, things finally calmed down.

Only when Ange was injured did the world achieve this.

Ange, who had just declared that she was no longer afraid of ghosts, was immediately terrified and turned pale, clinging to Rod and screaming incessantly, disregarding her image.

The second-place person, who was annoying and always causing trouble, was so angry that he fainted.

The witch laughed uproariously the whole time, while Luna scratched her cheek in embarrassment.

The trip to Youdu came to an abrupt end.

The group slunk away and arrived at the world's highest city.

It's a pity we missed the once-in-a-century meteor shower, but the bright moon in the sky brought peace to everyone's hearts.

Luna showed Rhodes her moonsword after a long absence.

Unlike Rhodes's sword, Luna's Moonblade possesses a breathtaking beauty.

She was bathed in moonlight, wielding a sword with dazzling light, creating a hazy and mysterious atmosphere.

She is like a Valkyrie of the Moon.

Rhodes was captivated by Luna's enchanting sword dance.

Moonlight is merely a facade; what Luna possesses is a spiritual power that reaches the very depths of her soul.

After leaving the city of Li, at the witch's suggestion, the group went to the city of witches.

A gathering of warlocks is being held there.

The witch appeared at the gathering, causing quite a commotion.

Taking advantage of her home turf, she fabricated a love story with great seriousness, claiming that she had a crush on Rod, but Rod ignored her.

The bored witches became interested when they heard that Rhodes had blocked the witch's charm.

In order to present a gift to the Witch King, the witches launched a plan to lure and capture Professor Rhodes.

The scene was quite chaotic at one point.

The witch's enchantment resonated, affecting the entire witch city.

Even Ange and Luna were affected and joined the battle for Professor Rhodes.

After hiding for a long time, Rhodes finally found the witch on the roof of the clock tower in the center of the witch's city.

"It's time to stop this farce, Klara."

"As expected of Professor Rhodes, you found me before dark?"

The witch patted the spot next to her without a care.

"Since we're already here, how about we watch the sunset together?"

"..."

Rhodes stepped forward and sat down next to the witch.

From the city below, the clamor of witches searching for Rhodes could be heard.

In the distance, the setting sun casts its last rays, painting the clouds red and gilding the outlines of everything with gold.

The long night is coming.

The witch gazed at the sunset and softly recounted her past.

The pranks in the witch's city came to an end when the witch intervened.

"I am the ultimate victor!"

The witch happily announced her victory.

Luna and Ange exchanged a glance, seemingly reaching some kind of consensus.

Leave the city of witches.

Finally, we arrived at the City of Time and Space.

In a restaurant at the edge of the universe, the group saw, through chaotic fragments of spacetime, a vision of the world before its annihilation.

This scene is normally fixed and unchanging.

But Rod felt that it was completely different from what he had imagined.

There's an indescribable sense of unease.

Unfortunately, Ange, being a time-space sorcerer, was affected by the disordered time and space, and her body became unwell.

The group had no choice but to turn back and return home.

Return to the imperial capital.

Light snow has begun to fall from the sky.
