At the End of the Journey
Honestly... she just had to be a pain right to the very end.
...
Still, somehow I made it. The end of the Journey.
So now I inherit the power of the Star Savior and regain all my strength.
...But NOA and that man... I don't hate them enough anymore to want to destroy them.
I trained all this time to gain this power, and now that I finally have it, I don't even need it anymore. What a letdown.
Tyria grumbled as usual, but she didn't seem upset.
...Yeah. Even though all that effort ended up meaning nothing, I don't feel that bad. Hehe.
I should. There was that monster attack not long ago.
Even if I'm not much help, I can't just stay here pretending nothing's happening.
Haha.
...
Once everything settles down, I'll come visit NOA sometime.
And after that, I'm planning to open a small shop near the walls of Monastir.
...When that happens, you should come visit too.
I'll treat you to a special course. My finest one.
I watched her brightened face for a moment.
The one who stands at the end of the Journey, having endured countless moments of pain and suffering.
There will be more hardships ahead.
But I believe in her.
That the cold emptiness which once filled her as an Executor...
Had finally been replaced with warmth through this Journey.
And someday, on the path she chose for herself...
She will stand tall as the greatest Savior of them all...
Her light was so bright... I closed my eyes.
...Congratulations, Tyria.
With this, you have passed the final trial of the [Journey].
...
So this is how it ends?
The end of the Journey... This is it?
...Shall we head back now?
They are throwing a huge celebration in your honor for [completing the Journey].
...
...What terrible taste you have.
Alicia.
...
You can forget the celebration.
Cancel it. Or enjoy it yourselves.
...I told you. I worked hard to get this power, but I don't need it anymore.
If you need it, I'll gladly lend my strength.
So...
...
So I hope you're not pushing yourself too hard out there.
Good luck, Captain.
And so, another new starlight ignited.
Its radiant flame was etched into the Archive—a beacon to pierce the endless dark of the cosmos.
Observation complete.
