She must be the one who told him about my past, but then could it be that she too came from the same world as me, or is she someone with special abilities for knowing such things?contemporary romance

"Edge-kun are you alright?" Clarise-senpai's hand was at my shoulder. The sudden touched shocked me and my body reacted violently. My sword was pointed at senpai's throat. I then saw senpai's face and came back to my senses.

"I'm sorry Clarise-senpai... Yeah... I'm alright so let's get out of here while we have the chance."

Clarise POV:

After meeting Rain and hearing what he had to say, Edge-kun seems to be thinking of something ever so deeply.

It most probably has to do with him being called a former hero... A former hero that was what Rain called him. Why would he call him that, I have never heard any rumors of Edge being a hero anywhere?

Also, his current age was barely fifteen and most of his years were spent at his village and here in school. The only time he went elsewhere was when he rescued his friends and that was for two years.

Yet during that time period, there was no such thing as him being a hero. Rain must have meant something else; it must be something that only he and Edge-kun could understand. There are too many questions about this incident, yet the one who knows the most doesn't seem like he wants to talk about it.

We were running outside the academy, Edge-kun said that he and Tsukiyomi had a plan if ever something like this happens. Escape separately and meet up at the mountains outside the capital. His plan went like this, after regrouping escape the kingdom and lay low, waiting for the perfect chance to counterattack. Edge-kun and Tsukiyomi even properly stored some supplies at their supposed mountain base.

It was like he already knew something like this will happen. Ever since meeting this boy I had the faint suspicion he wasn't what he seems to be. His strength, his world views, his way of thinking. These things go way beyond someone's abilities even if he is a genius. The only reason I thought of him as someone young was simply because of his naive reactions in Tsukiyomi's girly wiles. 

There are too many things I do not understand about Edge-kun, but even so... I know his love for his comrades was real. The way he shouted his feelings at Rain proved that. So, for now, I will trust this boy.

We finally reached our destination, Tsukiyomi and the others were waiting for us behind a natural cave hidden behind a waterfall. I see this really is a perfect hiding spot. 

Upon entering the cave what greeted us was Tsukiyomi slapping Edge-kun. The slap echoed throughout the cave. Everyone looked at Tsukiyomi shocked at her actions. Tsukiyomi face was brimming with anger. This was the first time I saw Tsukiyomi with such an expression. Good thing Sarah-chan was still asleep if she were awake I don't know what would've happened. I looked at Leto even he with him being an idiot in reading the atmosphere, didn't say anything.

"Tsu-" Edge-kun tried to speak but was met with another slap in his face, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, Tsukiyomi kept on slapping left and right. His face was swelling because of all the slaps. Tsukiyomi must have used a lot of strength to make Edge-Kun's face look like that with only a few slaps. 

"The next time you do something like that Edge... It won't end with just slaps." Even though he got beaten up, Edge smiled at Tsukiyomi. The look he had a while ago completely disappeared as if nothing had happened. Was Edge-kun perhaps an M?

"I made the decisions on my own without consulting anyone for that I'm sorry. I'm sorry Tsukiyomi... Sorry, everyone." After apologizing to everyone, Edge-kun started explaining the situation. 

"So Serillia do you know who this "her" your brother was speaking of?" Edge-kun asked the princess directly, also he was calling her with her first name and without honorifics. Seeing that scene surprised me a bit. 

This was also one of Edge-kun's mysteries he could attract many girls of different ages and races. If I wasn't already in love with somebody I might have gotten interested in Edge-kun as well.

"Unfortunately I do not know who my brother was talking about. Hmm, but it seems like there are more elements to this play than I thought." The princess started pondering.

"So what's the next step, any ideas Serillia?" Serillia who was lost in thought looked at Edge-kun surprised.

"Oh my, I thought Edge has a plan for everything. Just some time ago while waiting for you Tsukiyomi told us. That Edge had planned for something like this, actually, you had a plan for different scenarios. So I was sure you had a plan for this kind of situation as well." Edge-kun scratched his hair and looked at Tsukiyomi.

"Kukuku, that was part of your punishment." Tsukiyomi simply responded as thus while Edge-kun was glaring at her.

"I have nothing in particular planned after this. I was only planning to run away from the kingdom with my sister, Tsukiyomi, and Tanith. I never planned for a return trip. You on the other hand have something planned so that you can return for a counterattack. Am I right?" 

The princess giggled at Edge-kun's inquiry. "Wow, as expected of you Edge! So you saw through me. Even though the first time we ever had a real conversation was just a while ago, truly impressive." The princess started clapping her hands. 

"Thanks for the praise. So what's your plan? What do we need to do now?" Every one of us focused all our attention on what the princess was about to say next. Yet not one of us expected what she was about to say. With a huge smile on her face, she answered Edge-kun's question.

"We're heading to the great forest, the country of the elves, Cornadidon."
