When the heroes of Limia and Gritonia meet, its extremely awkward thanks to Tomoki.

I have to think part of it is his unresolved feelings of inferiority and victimhood back home.

Hibiki is a reminder of the world he left behind, so it makes sense hed be hostile.

All the adulation hes received has given him a big head, to boot.

The two have developed a rapport that borders on the romantic.

The battle commences, with Tomoki insisting it take place at night, when hes secretly immortal.

Tomoki, terrified hes no longer immortal, flees immediately with his party, who dont question his orders.

Thats because Navarre wants powers to be bestowed upon her and her alone to defeat the demon general.

Hibiki doesnt know this until shes being whisked away by Woodys high-speed flight magic.

There were two heroes on the battlefield that night: Otonashi Hibiki, and Navarre Polar.

If he had actually put his life on the line, maybe Navarre wouldnt have had to die.

Im really upset about losing her so soon after we met her.

We even see the column of light he makes from their POV.
