Not long after Orpheus, Sylvara, and Zarek left, Ryutaro finally regained consciousness.
However, once awake, he appeared to be in a panic, as if he had just heard something alarming.
Lilith, noticing Ryutaro's distressed state, asked him, "Oni-chan, you're awake! What happened to you, Oni-chan?"
"Eh, it's nothing. I was just hearing something very shocking," Ryutaro replied.
Grace, overhearing their conversation, inquired about what could possibly be so shocking to cause Ryutaro to act that way.
"What shocking thing made you like this?" Grace asked.
"But before that, I want to ask you, is everyone here?" Ryutaro responded.
"Why? Does it have something to do with the shocking thing?" Grace replied.
"Well, something like that, that's why I'm asking," Ryutaro said.
"Ah, I see. Wait a moment, let me check," Grace said.
After saying that, Grace quickly checked if everyone was present.
"Hmmm... it's just me, Aurelia, Rin, Lilith, Alice, and Miyuki here," Grace reported.
