Chapter 346: [344] MAX!
As August looked around at the familiar surroundings, a smile broke across his face.
After more than a year, he had returned to this place, back to where it all began.
Pushing open the door, August stepped out of his room, feeling the familiar scents in the air.
Especially the presence of someone he had missed, who was just a stone's throw away—less than a few dozen meters.
Orario; August was finally back after experiencing the worlds of High School DxD and Interspecies Reviewers. His strength had dramatically increased compared to when he left.
"August? You're still in the familia? I thought you'd left," said Loki, her surprise evident.
"Loki, it's been a while!" August greeted her with enthusiasm.
"Ha? What are you talking about? Didn't we just see each other this morning? Wait, no... you seem to have undergone some significant change, but I can't quite put my finger on it!"
Loki examined August from head to toe. As a goddess, she could sense the passage of time on him.
But how could there be such a drastic change in just a few hours?
Of course, she had no idea that August had traversed two worlds and had been away from Orario for over a year and three months. To everyone else in this world, it was as if August had never left.
