Chapter 24

Their Future is the twenty-fourth chapter of the Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan manga.

Summary
Having been asleep, Stella wakes up in the cabin she and Ikki are resting in. Stella sits next to Ikki, who is already awake. Ikki tells Stella that he wishes to meet Stella's parents and asks what they are like. Stella though believes that it's a bad idea for Ikki to meet her parents, telling him that her father is very protective of Stella, and won't allow her marriage to Ikki, under any condition. Ikki, however, says that he will convince Stella's father, no matter what it takes. Stella is initially skeptical, but eventually comes to agree with Ikki, as they then agree to travel to Vermillion at some point. Ikki also wishes that Stella would meet his father, Itsuki Kurogane.

Suddenly, they hear noise coming from outside, with Ikki going to investigate it. Stella stays in the cabin, as Ikki doesn't want her to tire herself out as she is still sick. Once Ikki is outside, he notices a giant made out of rocks, standing next to the cabin. The giant then raises it's arms and crushes the cabin where Stella is, with Ikki only being able to scream for Stella.
