At the End of the Journey
Hehe. It's finally over.
I can already see it now...
A dazzling future, waiting just ahead!
As a famous Savior who's completed the [Journey], people will be lining up to make me offers.
I'll use that fame to scale my business even further.
Only a fool misses the chance to row when the tide is high...
You know what? I'm in a good mood!
Allow me to treat you to a nice dinner to celebrate.
Hehe. And I'll take the chance to pitch my next business idea, too.
Well? Aren't you excited already?
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.
She'll surpass me one day...
And become the greatest [Savior] of them all.
Her light was so bright... I closed my eyes.
...Congratulations, Savior.
With this, you have passed the final trial of the [Journey].
Shall we head back now?
They are throwing a huge celebration in your honor for [completing the Journey].
...
Huh?
Savior...?
Huh?
What's wrong?
Just now... wasn't someone standing next to me?
I don't think so.
There's been no one else but us here from the start.
...
This isn't right.
I'm sure of it. There was someone there. Right beside me.
Savior, I'm not sure what you're talking about...
Call off the celebration!
There's someone I need to recruit.
For the future of the Duchy...
No. For me. It's someone I need.
And besides, I still have a debt to repay in my name!
I can't bring disgrace to the honor of the Great Duchy of Monastir's princess!
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.
