At the End of the Journey
Woah... I can't believe it...
She disappeared... Vanished into thin air!
Are you okay, Annah?!
I'm okay! But... I can't say the same for my opponent!
She's gone...! Completely gone!
Not even a wrist to cuff! Not a face to read her rights to!
It feels a bit empty when there's no culprit left to arrest after a fight...
...Captain? Why are you smiling?
Just realized you're a town guard to your very bones.
...Eheh, well! It's true, isn't it?
Speaking of which... how about joining the Town Guard, Captain?
After being on this Journey together, I can say for sure...
That you'd be amazing at it! I mean it!
I'm honored.
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].
...
Savior?
...Ah, Thank you.
Hmm... Hmmm... Mmmm...
Lisa, excuse me a moment!
Huh? What— Kyaaah?!
Y-you can't just sniff people out of nowhere!
Eheh, sorry.
...But now I'm sure.
I'm really sorry, but...
Could you... ask everyone to delay the party for a bit?
...Or if they want, they can go ahead with other town guards instead!
Huh?! Savior?! Where are you going all of a sudden?!
A celebration without my partner? That just won't do.
I still remember his scent, clear as day... like warm sunlight!
This time, I'll find you and snap those cuffs on tight, 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.
