That Time Hori And Miyamura Got Reincarnated In Another World (COMPLETED)

Chapter 20: The Calm Before The Storm

The atmosphere in Tempest had returned to a peaceful hum, but for Hori and Miyamura, an unsettling feeling loomed over them. As they gathered with their friends in the grand hall, a serious air replaced the usual lighthearted banter.

“I just got wind of some troubling news,” Miyamura began, leaning against the ornate table that had become their meeting spot. “Clayman is planning to host an all-demon lord meeting soon. I’m sure he’s plotting something.”

Hori clenched her fists, her expression hardening. “After everything he’s done, we can’t let him get away with it. This is our chance to put an end to his schemes once and for all.”

Milim, seated beside Ramiris, nodded enthusiastically. “You’re right! If we confront him at the meeting, we can show him that Tempest stands strong!”

Ramiris added, her voice serious but calm, “But we need to prepare. Clayman is cunning and will likely have some tricks up his sleeve. We should gather intelligence and ensure we have a solid strategy.”

Hori stood tall, determination radiating from her. “We’ll gather everyone and prepare for battle. This time, we’ll be ready for whatever he throws at us.”

As the group strategized, they mapped out their plans on the large table. Hori’s mind raced with ideas, and her focus was unwavering. She could feel the weight of responsibility pressing down on her shoulders, but with her friends beside her, she felt bolstered.

“Let’s split into teams,” Miyamura suggested, his tone serious. “Milim, Ramiris, and I can scout ahead and gather information about the other demon lords attending the meeting. Hori, you can prepare our allies in Tempest.”

“Good idea,” Hori agreed, her heart racing at the thought of confronting Clayman again. “I’ll rally our forces and ensure everyone is ready. We’ll need every ounce of strength we have.”

As they discussed their strategies, Hori’s mind wandered briefly to the past—the loss they had endured, the sacrifices made, and the dark days that felt like a lifetime ago. She was determined to protect everyone and not let history repeat itself.

After an intense session of planning, the group set to work. Hori could feel a mix of adrenaline and determination coursing through her veins. She knew that they needed to act quickly to counter Clayman’s plans.

“Let’s meet back here tomorrow at dawn,” Miyamura instructed, his voice steady. “We’ll finalize our strategy and prepare to confront Clayman together.”

As everyone dispersed, Hori lingered for a moment, staring out the window at the setting sun. She felt a sense of foreboding but also hope. With her friends and allies by her side, they could face whatever challenges lay ahead.

Later that evening, Hori and Miyamura stood together on a balcony overlooking Tempest. The night sky was sprinkled with stars, a stark contrast to the storm brewing in their hearts.

“Do you think we’re ready for this?” Miyamura asked, concern etched on his face.

Hori turned to him, her expression fierce yet tender. “We have to be. Clayman may be powerful, but we’re stronger together. We’ve fought through so much already, and we won’t let him take away what we’ve built.”

Miyamura nodded, drawing strength from her resolve. “You’re right. We’ll protect our kingdom and everyone we care about.”

As they stood there, the bond between them felt unbreakable. With a shared understanding, they knew they would fight for their future, for their friends, and for the peace they had finally found.
