At Mana's request, King Jaren and the others also stayed back in the Pearl Kingdom for a few days.
The happiest people upon hearing of this decision were probably Aoi and Regent Prince Yuki, especially the latter. Haruka had already decided to accompany Grandpapa Jaren along with Vyom, so Regent Prince Yuki knew that both his newly acquired partner and newly acquired daughter would run off to the Emerald Kingdom soon. Having a few extra days to spend with them was a precious surprise gift for him.
The second happiest was Rei – after he regained consciousness, that is. General Aquila had tested Rei and declared him to be a good seedling with great warrior potential. The boy had been ecstatic, naturally. Rei and Rook had also become great friends, and Mana secretly thought that these two boys were the top representatives unofficial Raven Fan Club. In fact, if Raven hadn't been such a shy and modest boy, this fan club would already have been born.
