( Summary )

After defeating the army of Cyber Viruses, the eight World Jumpers return to Alnus Hill, in tow with them are new companions and two dragons. Commendations are given, gifts are handed out, and the world is now Cyber Virus free.

But troubles aren't over yet as a spark of war has been ignited during their absence and it's about to become a wildfire soon enough. And they haven't even gotten any rest yet.

Anyone up for a vacation to a magic city? What do you mean they need to go to a labyrinth? What do you mean Lelei is sick?!

The eight World Jumpers stood in attention, an expression of apology, seriousness, or boredom were plastered on their faces. Ashley and Argus shared the first expression, heads down in both shame and apology. The second one was on Keith, Carlson, and Kai's faces as the three continued to look dead ahead or glanced at Major Wataru Higaki as he reprimanded them. And the third expression was on Zane, Owen, and Toyokami's faces simply because they were either tired and wanted to go to bed more or just had no point being here.

"If you kids were soldiers, I would suspend you all for a month for pulling a mission like that without anyone's approval. But since you're not, you are all under 'house' arrest and will be doing community service for an entire week." the major says.

None of them dared to say that it wasn't such a bad punishment. Hell, Keith and Argus already run a shop, Ashley builds houses for everyone, and Zane and Carlson are part of the military police.

"However," the major suddenly began again, making the eight stiffen up, "That would be the normal punishment you would be given. Seeing as how you all dealt with the Flame Dragon — again — and its army, Lieutenant General Hazama would like to have a word with all of you."

Carlson immediately saluted once the general entered the room. The general stops in front of them before speaking, "Commander Levi of the World Jumpers, step forward!" he sternly ordered as Keith sighed and walked forward.

There was an air of silence around them for a few seconds, the girls and dark elves that returned with them were looking in worry from the cars, before the general spoke again, "Now to receive your honors!" "OUR WHAT?!" the seven other World Jumpers exclaimed in shock while Keith just expected it.

A few other soldiers came in with awards and other commendations. "This is a certificate of commendation from the Ministry of Defense for the anonymous adventurers of Arnus Hill for defeating the Flame Dragon." Lieutenant Hazama said, handing out the certificate with Keith politely accepting it with care.

"Next, a letter of commendation from His Majesty, King Duran of the Elbe Kingdom presenting the eight World Jumpers with medals and the title of lordship for their subjugation of the Flame Dragon, along with a deed concerning your deal with King Duran earlier on." The soldiers put the sash with a medal around the eight, six of which are still stupefied from the awards and one dragon boy was grinning giddily.

"We're now nobles in two worlds, Keith." Zane giddily said. "Technically, you're the king of another world after marrying the queen." Keith pointed out. "Yeah, and we share lordship over Lulurona and you're the archduke of Melromarc by technicality for being my friend." Zane remarked.
