At the End of the Journey
Victory.
Victory indeed.
The [Journey] is complete...
With this, I think I can hold my head a little higher.
To myself, and to my comrades...
And to Ms. Carnelia.
I feel so much more at ease now.
Captain, do you have any plans after we return?
If not, shall we hold a small celebration back at Candle Square?
I've already wrapped up most tasks before the trial...
And it might be good to let off some steam every once in a while.
...As you've said yourself, Captain. Haha!
Alright.
Hmm. I shall even make you some pancakes, my specialty dish.
Scarlet is quite fond of it as well.
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?
The Candle Square maids have prepared a surprise party...
...Oh, that was suppose to be a secret.
Please forget I just said that.
...
...Savior?
...Yes?
...Is something bothering you? Unfinished work, perhaps?
Hmm... Something is off.
What's wrong?
Someone was right beside me. I'm sure of it.
Thanks to that person, I didn't run away...
But there's been no one else but us here from the start.
No. I'm sure there was one more person here.
How peculiar...
What would Ms. Carnelia do if she were in my shoes...
...
No. What would I do, not Ms. Carnelia.
My apologies, Ms. Lisa.
It appears something more urgent has come up.
I do not want to part ways again with someone so... important to me without even knowing why.
S-Savior?
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.
