I was rendered speechless when I saw my party members. Their growth in this one year was too drastic. But, when I remembered that Shiina was here, I thought it was normal as a hero party.

"Re-Ren-sama?"

Alicia called me hesitantly.

"I'm back, Alicia."

I greeted her. Tears gathered around her eyes and she jumped into my chest. I accepted her and patted her head. She had gotten taller than before.

"Since you're already up, what's your plan, Ren?"

Leonardo asked.

"Etto, do you mind waiting for me to learn some skills from the elders?"

I asked as I scratched my cheek.

"Hee... for Ren to be studious is surprising. Did you hit your head or something?"

Leo teased.

"No, my power indeed strong but I have no way controlling it just yet. It would be bad if I suddenly rampaged in the battlefield."

I said.

"That's also true..."

Leo sighed.

"Are you going to have a long sleep again?"

Alicia asked. Though she looked more gallant and elegant now, in my arms she was still the same old crybaby Alicia. She looked up like a puppy as she stared at me.

"No, I will study some other curriculum which doesn't include the hibernation period."

"Really?"

"I swear that I won't do it."

"Not anymore?"

I was lost of words at that. I averted my eyes.

"Probably."

"Muu"

She pouted.

"Can you handle the schedule, Anastasia?"

I asked.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

She said. Though I requested it myself, I'm not sure if I can bear the long term studying like this. After all, I was known as a problem child who likes to skip classes back in the academy.
