"See you later, Kaoru-chan. Be sure to be a good girl"

"Okay"

"See you later as well, Tachibana-san"

"Yeah... See you later, Yamashiro-kun"

Katsuo had just brought Kaoru to the kindergarten she was enrolled at, and after giving his farewells to her and Misaki, he alongside his sister Kanon continued on their way to their respective schools. Misaki on the other hand, continued to greet the coming parents and other relatives bringing the kids enrolled at the kindergarten she worked at

Katsuo and Kanon kept walking at a similar pace until they eventually arrived at an intersection

"Well, see you later, Onii-san"

"See you later, Kanon"

Kanon went turned and safely crossed one of the streets while the pedestrian light was green, then she continued on her way to school. Katsuo meanwhile waited for the other pedestrian light to turn green, as he waited a boy wearing the same school uniform as his school also came and stood beside him, waiting for the light to turn green

Then the pedestrian light turned green, and the boy walked forward, but Katsuo stood still, then the sound of truck-kun brakes screaming could be heard. A truck was coming at full speed towards the unfortunate average male student about to be isekai-ed number 932

"Gueh!?"

But then the male student was pulled by the collar from behind, with the truck missing him for a few centimeters, the one pulling him was Katsuo as he had his other hand extremely to the truck with its open palm towards it

"Good grief, this always happens every once in a while"

Katsuo said so as he clapped his hands to clean them from dust as he looked at the truck that went over a sidewalk, but that luckily didn't injure anyone. Then the driver left the truck and walked toward Katsuo and the male student

"I'm very sorry! The brakes were refusing to work until the last moment!"

"It's alright, nobody got injured, but you should bring your truck for a check-up at a mechanic"

"Yes, I'll do that"

"Good, as for you"

Katsuo turned towards the male student who had fallen to the floor on his butt

"Remember to always look at both sides before crossing a street, got it?"

"Y-yes, I-I will do that every time from now on!"

"Good, now get up. We need to get to school"

"Yes!"

Katsuo helped the boy get up on his feet, before he went back on his way to school

Some time later

The lessons had already started, and in Katsuo's classroom everyone was paying attention to the teacher's explanation

"Hm?"

But then Katsuo noticed that a magic circle was about to form in his classroom

"*Sigh*" <That makes it the fifth one this week>

Stealthily Katsuo countered the magic circle neutralizing it before anyone else could see it forming, and the lessons continued as normal until it became lunchtime

"Hey, Katsuo! Wanna eat with us today?"

"Sorry, but there's something I need to do after having lunch, so I'll have to pass"

"Got it, we'll invite you next time"

"Thanks"

With that Katsuo left the classroom, and made his way to the rooftop. The place was empty, and he had a lunchbox in his hands

"Let's get this over with quickly"

Katsuo picked up his phone and turned on the alarm tagged as lunchtime. Then he slammed the floor with his right foot, making a magic circle form beneath him, and then a bright flash of light blinded the surroundings and he disappeared from the rooftop

About 30 minutes later

A bright flash of light once again blinded the surroundings, and Katsuo was back to where he previously disappeared from. His lunchbox was now empty and he appeared to be stretching one of his arms as if he had done some heavy workout

"Haa... Why can't they just surrender or just accept defeat without a fight? So annoying"

"My! Oh! My!... If it isn't Katsuo-san"

"Hoh?"

Katsuo heard someone calling his name, and when he looked in the direction of the owner of the voice, he saw a tall and beautiful girl standing on top of the roof of the staircases, the girl had her arms crossed and the face of someone filled with the sense of superiority as her skirt fluttered from the wind

"It appears that I finally found you again... Hero"

"Chouko-san... I can see your panties from down here because of the wind, you know?"

"What!?"

Chouko, who was a former demon lord as well, quickly held down her fluttering skirt with a red and embarrassed face, then she came down from where she was and instead went to stand in front of Katsuo on the rooftop

"Ahem... Hero! You have something I want!"

"You want this, right?"

Katsuo showed her a big mandrake he found in the other world he just came back from and threw it to Chouko

"Yay! A mandrake root! And a very healthy one at that! Thanks, Katsuo-san, I'll make sure to compound this into something useful for you as compensation!"

"Thanks"

"Now, if you excuse me, I have to go ground this mandrake before it loses its vitality!"

And with that Chouko dashed away with the mandrake in her hands. Chouko, was once the demon lord known as Butterflerycus, and just like now, she was very engrossed in the way of alchemy and stuff, but none of that mattered since Katsuo simply defeated Butterflerycus with a one-hit kill

As for Butterflerycus now, she was now known as Honda Chouko, a beautiful girl with pretty tall stature, striking orange, and reddish long wavy hair, usually done in a ponytail, with a very lively personality. By that, she would be popular with the many male students in the school, but because she still kept her passion for alchemy and chemistry, and occasionally used her previous life title of demon king of the crimson putridity, she was deemed by many as a weirdo, that made many avoid her

And of course, one of the few people that didn't avoid her and were close to her was Katsuo, since he didn't mind her personality at all, as long as she didn't try to cause any big trouble that would make him clean up afterward

"Oh well. Time to go back to the classroom"

And with that Katsuo returned to the classroom, and was able to spend some time with his classmates during the remaining time of lunch time
