(POV Alexander)
At this moment we were in a luxurious hotel, or more precisely, in the pool area of the luxurious hotel. Without a doubt, it is always a good thing to see girls in swimming suit!
Revy wearing a black sports bathing suit was swimming back and forth… she had been complaining about why we have to stay here several days ago and why are we not going for her gold, but now she seemed to fully enjoy our time here at this luxury hotel. As for me, being able to see her legs and butt sticking out of the water was something nice... well, I only had to put up with her complaints at times when I looked at her and she noticed.
On the other hand, Emilia-chan stood on the edge of the pool in a white bikini while splashing the water with her white feet... although instead of paying attention to the ripples on the water she created, it was more entertaining to see the undulations her chest produced with her movement!
Damn! it really seemed that her breasts did not want to lose against the water in terms of the grace they could show... in fact, for me they won by a large margin. So, instead of diving into the pool, I wanted to dive on those breasts!!
Also Mary, who was wearing a red bikini, was standing next to me in one of the sunbathing chairs set up in here, and every time I finished my drink, she would come over and bring me another with a smile on her face and causing me to start debating in my head if I should take the drink from her hands or keep looking at her slender body.
In this way, all 4 of us had been enjoying our time here. This was not bad at all and in fact, this was what I thought would be the life of a successful person.
Of course, since I didn't want to waste time having to chase away every guy who try to approach the girls so they could take them to their rooms, I had rented the entire hotel just for the 4 of us.
Before leaving the island where their HQ was located, I took a couple of suitcases that had a large amount of money that would surely had been the prize for the people who collected 7 crystals. So after arriving in a country close to those islands and giving the pilot who brought us here a little money as thanks, we looked for a place to stay and spent a lot of that money on this.
Since this money was only valuable in this world, then there was little point in saving it or worrying about spending it. Although, in some way this was a bit of a waste since at that time I had not planned to stay in this place for so long. I would have just wait until my grimoire was ready to open the portal, and then I, Mary, and Revy would leave this world.
That was the general idea that I had in mind, but unfortunately, some unforeseen things came up. No, it wasn't that I found out that this hotel had a nice pool and decided that it would be nice to enjoy looking at the girls in swimming suits… that happened later.
Thinking that I could make my grimoire stronger and shorten the time to leave this world and depart on the same day, I used a million crystals to feed my grimoire.
As a result of this, my grimoire was indeed strengthened. From being in the [Skin] rank it advanced to [Iron], so it went through the [Wood] and [Wood-Iron] levels in one go! This undoubtedly excited me a lot since with this the shield was also strengthened and it could now be held for 30 seconds. Furthermore, the cooldown time to switch between worlds was gone, and now I could travel between a known world 1 time a day without having to worry about how long I stay there.
The only requirement was that if the world I would go is necessary to create a new portal, then I would have to wait 1 month to reactivate the ability from my grimoire. This could be seen a little as a demerit, but since in most of the new worlds I visit in the future I would surely have to stay a while there to carry out the missions of the system, it doesn't really matter.
Everything seemed very good and I was quite happy that my grimoire advanced a few levels, but then when I wanted to open a portal to Gaia to test that everything was working correctly, I discovered that due to the large amount of energy that I gave the grimoire in one go, apparently it had to enter a state of rest for a while...
In the end I had no choice but to wait for my grimoire to reactivate again... and it wasn't until today, about a month after the events on those islands, that it was finally activated again. Seriously, this was something unexpected, and from having to wait just a few days, it was prolonged until now... the good thing is that I previously told the girls that I could stay in this world for a couple of months, so they shouldn't be worried about me.
In fact, I am the one who has some concern to know how they are. After all, in Gaia can be many more problems than in a world like the one I am now...
[In the today's news, the events of the Islands that were run by the tycoon xxxxxx and the owner of several corporations xxxxx, continues to be the main topic that various media outlets continue to talk about.
These two have been found to be involved in the kidnapping of more than a hundred people and forcing them to have to kill each other in something akin to the popular game B-tooom. Certainly something quite inhuman!
It is regrettable that they cannot be held judged by justice, since that accidentally died in the revolt of the people that were held against their will.
Furthermore, a general from the country xxxxxx has been linked who apparently was also involved in this... unfortunately the high command of this country and the general himself have not wanted to give any explanation for this.
On the other hand, there are also some others involved who had senior positions in some organizations and in some political positions too, although it is not yet clear how they were involved]
While we were all enjoying our time, suddenly, on the big TV placed on the corner we can see that again they began to talk about the things that happened in those Islands.
The television shows a beautiful host who presents the images of that place that apparently was now full of men in police and military uniforms... in addition, she also shows the faces of several people that I have never seen before...
Well, I think the first two people they mentioned were killed at the place where Takanohashi exploded... although I may be wrong since those bodies were somewhat disfigured due to the explosion.
…It seems that that guy called Oda was successful in making public everything that happened there.
[We have some testimonies from the survivors of that place who ask for justice for everything that the people kidnapped had to go through and prevent something like this from happening again.
Testimony of the survivor Nobutaka Oda:
"It is true the people who were brought to that Island tried to kill each other, but I don't think we should blame them for doing this. After all, they were all afraid and wanted to survive so that they could return with their loved ones.
So I think the only ones responsible for those deaths are the people who were involved in creating such madness, but if I have to pay for something I did on that Island, then I am willing to do it."
Little Kaguya's testimony:
"I-I was very scared... if it weren't for Oda-san, then I would probably have died in that place..."
Hidemi Kinoshita's testimony:
" Hic... Hic... in that place people showed how evil they can be... hic... many tried to r@pe or kill me... hic... s-so I had no alternative but to defend myself!"
Hisanobu Sakamoto's Testimony:
"E-Even the little kids turned into demons there! A damned redhead brat cut my hand off without hesitation!! I-It is true that I wasn't killed and perhaps thanks to her I was able to get out of that place alive, but... other people only took the crystals from their hands and not the entire hand!!
Seriously, do kids these days have no respect for their elders?! No, perhaps it is something more fundamental and children these days are too violent because of the things they see every day... "
There are different opinions about these survivors. Some ask that they also should be judged for the things they did in that place since according to them, it should not be justifiable that one person kills another regardless of any reason.
But most, on the other hand, think that they are just victims of the people who organized this crazy game. We will have to wait some time to see the resolution of all this. Whatever your opinion on this is, there is only one reality and it is that in that place almost a hundred people died... these are some of the names of the identified bodies or the names found in the documents there.

"Alex-chan... that man who was interviewed last and showed resentment, I think he was talking about you"
" Revy... you keep focusing on the wrong things. From what I saw, he seemed quite grateful and happy to be able to continue living."
"No... no matter how you look at it, that guy was pretty mad because you cut off his hand"
After the TV host talks a little about what happened in those Islands, we can see several familiar faces being interviewed. What most say is in perfect agreement with the personality of these people when we dealt with them before, just... that woman named Hidemi seems to be more fragile than I thought...
She seemed to be quite a determined woman, although maybe she was forcing herself for everything that was happening in that place. Besides, it seems that it was the right thing to get out of there quickly, it would be problematic if we had been involved in all that and the attention of this whole world would be on us.
I certainly didn't mind disappearing in front of large numbers of people through a portal and causing a huge commotion because of that, but if we were separated before we could do that, then it would have been troublesome. Well, what caught my attention the most on the tv was something else...
"Emilia-chan... it seems that they think you died on the Island."
"Y-yes..."
It was normal that the names of Mary, Revy, and myself did not appear, after all, there shouldn't be any information from us in this whole world. Also, seeing as Emilia-chan appears as someone who died there, then I must assume that none of the people we left behind talked about us.
They may also have done it and some people are looking for us now, but either way, that doesn't matter much now. It's time for us to go, and even if they keep looking for us, if they are, they won't find us no matter how hard they try.
"Well, it's time for us to get out of here... "
"Oh~ Finally! This place is not bad, but I was already getting bored. Also, you have to pay me what you promised me, boy! "
" Understood, Master "
"E-Eh? Leave? Where?"
"Before answering that question, Emilia-chan we must talk about some things. More precisely, what do you want to do now? "
"W-What do I want to do?"
"Yes, even if people think you are dead, it is not difficult for you to return to your previous life. So if you want, I can help you go to your country so you can go home. "
"... G-Go home?"
When she hears me say that to her, I can see her eyes sparkle for a second, but then she shows us a dejected face.
"…What's wrong? Don't you want to go back to your house?"
"..."
Honestly, I only knew a few things about her from the anime, but the truth is that most of the circumstances about her were unknown to me. It's also not like she talked a lot about her past, and in fact, most of the time we were in this hotel it seemed like she just wanted to forget what happened on that Island.
"Alex-senpai... you also think I'm a nuisance?
Although I can't say that my family is bad, I felt that they only took care of me because they had to… so, the fewer problems I caused them, the better for them.
That's why… that's why I was never able to talk to them about what happened to me and my friends before. I thought if I told them, they would think it was my fault or something like that... no, that surely would happen. Besides, it seems that now the people I thought were my friends hate me enough to want me dead…..
Now that I think about it, it was a bit abnormal that she did not tell her parents about what happened with her and her friends, but it seems that the trust with her parents was not much to talk about those things... well, from what I read about that, any woman who goes through things similar to her many times just tries to think of it as if it never happened. So I thought it was just something similar to her...
It really should be rare for a victim to become the bad person as she says, but unfortunately, I know very well that this type of world is often not logical and what she says is not impossible... in fact, that is very likely to happen.
There are probably countless cases in which an influential person oppresses the victim, or even managed to make this one the bad person in the story. So many would think that it's just the society that is complicated... although I think that society is often just a big bitch.
"Hahaha, if this boy thought you were a hindrance he would probably have left you on that Island when he could do it, girl. Although... I think that he only brought you to gets into your bed"
"Th-That... it's true, Alexander-senpai?"
While thinking about some things, Revy talks and complicates everything. Now Emilia-chan was looking at me carefully while holding her breasts in her arms... seriously, although this is what any woman who tries to hide her body does, women with large breasts should know that this does not work and they only manage to highlight them even more!
" Kohon... I will not deny that I have a physical attraction to you, Emilia-chan. But even though you seem attractive to me, I'm not going to bring you with me if it's not what you want.
When I said we were going to leave here, I wasn't talking about simply changing places and going somewhere else in this country... or in this world. Emilia-chan, now I will return to the world I come from.
Also, since I've gotten everything I wanted from here, I most likely won't come back to this world. "
" So you're not going to deny that you want to get into her bed..."
"Eh? G-Go back to your world?"
When Emilia-chan hears me say my first words, her face starts to blush but immediately the natural tone of her skin returns, or it was even a little pale now and while she watches me closely with her eyes and mouth wide, she asks me that.
