章 153: Disappear II

Philip could only shake his head, sitting in his throne with a weary expression. "Goodness, Johan… you should have told me first," he murmured, sighing. The king felt relieved after hearing Hiroshi's explanation, but still, Johan hadn't informed anyone about his departure except for Hiroshi.

After a moment, Philip looked at Hiroshi calmly. "Then, let's stop searching for him. Johan already has a plan of his own. But I can't deny this might cause some issues," Philip said, emphasizing the seriousness in his words. "I'm sure it's going to be a bit troublesome for you to explain this to the others, Hiroshi."

Hiroshi nodded, aware of the weight of responsibility now on his shoulders. Not only did he have to explain Johan's absence to their classmates, but he also had to ease any anxiety that might arise. Even more challenging was the fact that Johan had become a symbol of hope for their friends, and in a brief moment, he vanished without a satisfactory explanation.
