At the End of the Journey
Whew...
*Sigh*
Phew! See? It was nothing after all!
If it hadn't been just a hologram, Kuku could've swallowed it right then and there. Such a shame!
Phew... Kuku...
Don't you think so too? Hehe...
You should catch your breath first before you start talking smack...
Whew. Well, that's it. The Journey's over.
So, are you heading back now?
Hmm... I suppose.
All the other Western Liberators are a bunch of idiots, after all.
If I stay away too long, the place might collapse before I even get my hands on the Void Core.
Well, going back is going back but...
*Sigh* Bland rations and dry, tasteless desserts...
Just thinking about going back to those awful meals that can't even compare to NOA's food makes my head...
Hmm...! No way!
If I don't eat a ton of delicious snacks before heading back, I know I'll regret it!
Captain, you're coming with me, right?
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].
Hehe. It's finally done!
But... when will I get the power of the Star Savior?
I can't wait to feed it to Kuk—
Kuku. I told you to behave unless it's time to fight.
What the heck did you eat in that mine to be acting up like this—
Huh...?
...Who was I there with again?
Hmm... Let me think...
...
Um, Lisa, I know this might sound like a strange question, but...
Wasn't there someone else with me?
...There's been no one else but us here from the start.
No... That's not true.
I'm sure there was... a foolish person...
Savior...?
Phew! Vanishing without a word like that...
That feels a bit... unfair, you know?
Well, it can't be helped. I'll have to come find you myself.
I don't know where or how you ran off yet, Captain...
But I'll make sure you know you're in the palm of my hand.
He says...
Hmph, you'd better be ready if you get caught!
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.
