At the End of the Journey

Naru

The amazing exploits of genius Naru!

Naru

Did you see that? What did you think, Captain? Hehe!

You did great, Naru.

Naru

Oh, this is just the beginning!

Naru

Promotion after promotion, climbing the ranks...

Naru

Someday, I'll be the top authority figure, just like Lady Alicia!

Naru

And until the day my equation gets implemented at Astro Sanctum!

Naru

You've got to stick by my side, Captain. You promised!

Naru

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.

Lisa

...Congratulations, Savior.

Lisa

With this, you have passed the final trial of the [Journey].

Lisa

Shall we head back now?

Lisa

They are throwing a huge celebration in your honor for [completing the Journey].

Naru

Huh...?

Lisa

Savior...?

Naru

Uuugh... Uuuugh...!

Lisa

...

Naru

Grade 3 Observer, Ms. Lisa! I have a question!

Naru

Was there someone else here besides my super genius elite self?

Lisa

...Strange.

Lisa

There's been no one else but us here from the start.

Naru

...No!

Naru

That's not true! Someone was here.

Naru

...Hold on, I'll run the numbers!

Naru

There, see?! According to my equation, someone was definitely here! Someone... important!

Lisa

An equation? I'm not quite sure what you mean... Maybe it was just a miscalculation?

Naru

No, it wasn't wrong. Because...

Naru

...Because the one who showed me that this equation was right despite its imperfections was...

Naru

...It was him.

Naru

I'm sorry Ms. Lisa! I'm heading out!

Naru

This is more important than a promotion or prestige...!

Naru

Something that takes priority over even perfecting my equation! Hehe!

Naru

That's odd...

Naru

I've never seen a possibility that couldn't be computed at Astro Sanctum.

Naru

Which means only a super genius elite like me could ever find you, Captain! Hehe!

Naru

...Just wait a little longer, Captain.

Naru

Your one and only Journey member.

Naru

I, Naru, will come find you, no matter what.

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.
