"Ko, this is delicious! Another complex blend of spices and herbs that are different from potions...... to the burnt sugar-like richness and ginger irritation, the water irritation for production...... this is the coke!

"Well, it's great to have this in the bath."

"I didn't like this stinging at first either. But I can't forget this throat!

Something was usually wearing bathrobes and cola gubbing.

"Oh, everybody, welcome back. Let me get started."

"Shun, this is delicious after all! It would be great to drink it chilled in a kink."

"Ha! Sorry, I got some hot water first, even a delicious drink like this..."

"Uh... if nothing happened, it's fine. Lue, did you hear any loud noises or shakes?

"Yeah, there was nothing. See, this is kind of a quarantined place."

"Oh, I see. Well, let's just take a look at this sight."

With that said, I opened the door to the mansion, where until yesterday, the rubbled wilderness and lonely paths disappeared, just the fundamentals of the great tree, the enormous surface of the tree, stretched out in front of me.

"Yeah!? Is this that tree? I grew up fine when I saw it earlier, what is this!?

"Ugh! Jack and the bean tree aren't on the same level!

"Nah... what the hell is this... the power of the ancient people... is too much intelligence"

Hot springs, because they did face the opposite direction from trees...... no, are they isolated from the outside in the first place?

"Safely, we defeated all Boss demons, and the way to heaven opened. So, Mr. Leticia, I want you to go back to the city and warn pedestrians and people who walk around here never to come near you. You know, your house has been watching the city for generations."

"Am I supposed to not have to offer you ahead?

"Yes. The role of liberation of this city has been set apart today. But..."

Ask her to return to her city here. From here on out... maybe because we have to settle.

"Leticia. Until today, you followed me well. From here on out, we old folks have to wear it. There, you can't involve the people who live now. I can't let my parents lose you. Do you understand me?

"Lord Shun...... Yes, Lord Shun. Thank you for everything you've done to this day, I'll never forget it."

"Me too, I won't forget. When it's all over, let my parents show their faces again. I used to leave without saying hi."

On my behalf, Shun persuades Miss Leticia.

Speaking of which, what do you care? I think Shun and Miss Leticia were close, or spent a lot of time together.

You take good care of yourself, Guido.

"Then I will draw the attention of the city's inhabitants. I got this kind of gear, and let me see a lot of ancient moves up close to it, and I just feel a little stronger. Good luck, gentlemen."

As such, Miss Leticia was on her way home as she traveled along the great tree on an unusual path.

"A little -? What? What? That's cool, Shun. Do you like that girl?

"Oh, I like it. An honest, faithful, family-minded warrior. You can't get into our fight here. Yeah, I thought."

"I agree with him. She owes me, no, her clan owes me. You've been protecting our place the whole time."

"Yeah, right. So... shall we check the tree before it gets dark? If it's the same as in the game days, there's got to be a sinus somewhere that leads inside."

"I agree. When you have to go in, there's no way there's an entrance, right?

"... I know it's not just the air to tear it up. Hey, this is... this is gonna be the last time, right? Then I... would like to come back and talk to your father. Yesterday and today, you lied to me so I could get out in the morning."

Elle, who feels serious air, makes the suggestion.

... right. Whether you cry or laugh, this could be your last fight.

Me, Rue, and Reis are travelers. But everyone else... doesn't.

Someone to protect, someone with a country.

"Everybody listen up. Once this investigation is complete, you should return to your respective countries once. Like Elle, there's someone you want to talk to, right?

"... right. Besides... I have one thing that bothers me. So let me go back once it's done"

"Right. You should go back once, maybe it is. I have something to tell Lord Arklight, too."

"… should I also contact the Deputy Director or Gold,? Yeah, well... I was a little too obsessed."

Maybe they all felt it somewhere in their minds.

At the end of this great tree, the battle against something awaiting us is different.

It's not just a battle with seven stars. Something… Something must be causing the world to start going crazy.

First of all, it was when I started looking outside to find the entrance to the tree.

Email ringtones echo in my brain.

"Is this... shun?

From: Syun

To: Kaivon: Oink: Daria: El

Subject: We need to talk.

Later, I want everyone who pulled out Lace and Lue to get together.

I have something important to tell you about the future.

The location is Gunya's workshop adjacent to the mansion.

At the end of his gaze, when he saw Shun going forward, he stared at this one somewhere sorry.

Pull you two out...? Is that what you can only tell your ex-player?

I'm just curious about its content, but I'm going to look around this big tree first.

And then, a little around the corner, I found a sinus that seemed like one big carriage could fit all the way in.

"Apparently, it's going on deep. Can we go in tomorrow when we're ready and ready?

"Yeah, let's do that. It's just... I'll leave at noon. If you don't go back by then, no grudges. Ahead is a battle that could cost you your life. Everyone must have a reason not to die."

"... right? If you're scared, there's no grudge."

"... oh yeah. Me too... I have something important."

In front of the sinus, I make that arrangement.

That's right. Worst case scenario, I could be alone up ahead.

Everyone has left too much behind in this world.

Regardless... to tell the truth, I don't even want to take Lace or Rhue beyond this.

I don't know what each one has in mind. But still, once, back to the mansion.

And...

"You should rest early today. We're going back to the country once, so let's get some sleep."

"Really? It's not dark yet, though."

"No, you might want to get some rest soon for sure...... embarrassing story, but I seem to be getting a little nervous too"

"Thank you for your care. Well, let's let the three of us sleep first."

We saw what Shun was after, and we went back to our room.

Especially since I'm getting out of here, outside the mansion, where Shun and the others are waiting, and heading to Gunya's workshop.

"Workshop, you were like this"

"Oh. Have you two found out?

"Oh, that's no problem. So..."

"When it comes to calling us alone, there's something important to talk about, isn't there?

"Shun. You said you had something to worry about, right? What is it?

"... shun?

Shun sat down in the chair in the workshop and looked around at our faces.

Exhale deeply, with a look as if you were ready, and speak out.

"I'm sure it was all decided. We came here to raise this great tree and head to heaven. I've always thought we were the only ones led into this world for a reason."

"It's... I do think that the situation is like being led in some kind of big flow right now"

"Right. It seems to me that Caivon was the last to show up in this world, and it all started there, and this flow was born, and we arrived here."

That's Shun's reflection that it's as if this were something that was decided from the beginning.

That's what I was thinking. But that's even more so now.

"I think we were chosen to save this world, if you exaggerate. So... what happens after that?

"What's going to happen... so you're going to get confused in the world afterwards or go back to your own lives?

Answer as you deserve. But at that time, Elle spoke with a rare and serious voice.

"... I, Shun, may have figured out what you're trying to say"

"Likewise, I may have figured it out. Shun, you saw my presence, which I am... Dahlia... and came to that conclusion, didn't you?

I didn't see the story.

Neither me nor Oink knew what Shun was trying to say.

"El. I heard about your predicament. When I realized it, I was trapped in a cave. Right?

"Yeah, that's right. And... I don't have any memories before that happens. And... even before that, when it was Elverson."

"Daria. You said your personality as a leech became intolerable over the years and was a changed personality. But... are you sure?

"... when they say that, I can't say for sure"

"Hey, what are you talking about earlier, Shun?"

Just a little bit, I had a bad feeling.

"Caivon. You were... falling near Rhue. I was there abruptly, but can't you even think about this?" I was traveling there, relying on the signs of my countrymen, "he said."

"Heh... you, then no way!

And Shun made it clear.

"Aren't we conscious beings called to carry out this destiny instead of this physical personality? When this battle is over... will you return this body to the original Lord?

"Huh! I'll be the one, not me!? No way, I'm me."

"But... it's also possible that I was the original physical personality, possibly left as a result of Hisashi's mind, personality disappearing, right?

"Right. I died twice, too, and I'm here now. But that also proves that consciousness and personality can shift one after another. If so... when it's all over..."

I didn't have enough ingredients to cut off Shun's story if it wasn't possible.

I was thinking about it. Didn't I indeed see the moment the game ended?

"KAIVON: Really, it was fun... Yoshijo"

If that wasn't a mistake...... the message the character did send to the player.

I mean... is this body more proof than anything that it has its original personality?

"... so what do you say..."

"Oink?"

Oink, who had listened to him very much, raised his voice nagging.

"So you say what's wrong! I walked as an oink and came this far! This memory, thoughts, beliefs! It's all engraved into my body! Even if you're unconscious or your personality has changed! My life is inscribed here! I'm sure they'll inherit it it!

"Huh!... you're really, really strong. I... I'm still just a little scared. But I was finally convinced I had to get over it."

"I'm not afraid. I'm proud of my life so far. Shun, even you should be. We lived this world to the fullest. We're not the only ones, we're engraved in the world. So... now you can't be scared!

Oink barks. Even if your consciousness disappears and you disappear from your body.

My consciousness is engraved. And they take it over, they inherit it it, they live with the world.

... strong, you really are. But... I... I... I...

"That's all I wanted to tell you. It is not definitive. But it's not even an impossible story. After swallowing it all...... I wanted you to welcome me tomorrow. I'm sorry we had to talk about this on the ground."

"... Fine. I think it's important. I still have time to think. So, thank you, Shun."

"I... can't say anything about this... I'm already, Dahlia, so..."

"Still, you're with us. There, even the face of the scythe is definitely there. I don't need to be sick about anything. This is a delusional possibility for me."

"... oh, I hope so. I still don't have many thoughts in this world."

"Caivon...... oh I guess so. But be prepared."

I didn't want to hear it, I'm not saying. Because I think it's destiny that can happen and it's inevitable.

But it was very, very hard for me to see the two people I loved again.

If the owner of the original body were to walk with them without changing anything, it would have been, very regrettable.

I don't know if that happens. They're... me, this family I traveled with.

"Well... let us go back. Tomorrow at noon, those who are willing to return to the Mansion will return."

"Yeah, I get it"

"Okay."

"... Yep. Okay, let's go back, shun."

Everyone returns to where they should go and is left alone in a workshop where the sunset plugs in.

Brand new workshop. No traces used, game-era facility-dead exterior.

But there was a little figurine there.

Is it something that Guni put away?

It was a miniature of Daiki. Take it gently.

"Gu Ni. How do you feel about living in this world?"

Return the figurine and return quietly to the mansion.

"The door... you forgot to tighten it."

Slowly dive through the door that was slightly open and head back to your room.

Lie in bed and think back to what you just heard about Shun.

And then... I think about when it was right, and one person... is disturbed by emotions that I can't help.

And that was then. The door is knocked.

"Kai-kun, if you're awake, open it for a second. Let's talk."

"Lue? Yeah, I'll open it now."

It was Lue. Lue, who was outside the room, stood still in a nightdress that was a pyjama.

"I knew it would be the same as my room. I didn't put anything down."

"Ha, I guess I'll arrange a figurine sometime"

"Hehe, I'm already lining up the woodworks. I'll show you next time."

"Oh, next time...... na"

A moment of stray delayed the words.

But then, there's a small impact on my chest.

Lue was nodding her face on her chest.

"Lue?"

"... Kai-kun is the only one here right now."

"Huh! No way!

"Yeah. Sneaky, I asked. I don't like it, do I? I can't believe Kai-kun is going to be someone else. Same figure. But I don't like that being someone else anymore. It's all, you're the one who picked me up and made me my first delicious meal. I love you, Kai-kun."

"... me too, yes. Give me my beloved Rue. All the time, it's Lue and I who should be next to me, and it's me who should be next to me."

Give her a hug. With your little hand, I'll give her a desperate hug.

A lot of silence. Heart sounds are heard. At the same time, her heartbeat comes through.

A strange feeling, as if it were one.

And... as she decides to, she tells.

"... last but not least, if you might. I'm with Kai-kun now."

"- What are you going to do about life expectancy?

"I'm a long-lived elf… every few years… so…"

Just a little trembling hand, shake. I was wondering if it was good or really good.

He wants me to accept everything, and he wants me not to reject it because it has to be now.

So... I took her...

The stars were blinking innumerably.

In her arms, her eyes closed and sleeping, the light of the stars gently illuminates.

Then, quietly, she glanced.

"It's me... I've been dreaming. One day, I fell asleep like this, and when I woke up, Kai-kun looked up to me gently. It's a dream."

"Ha, is that right?

"Yeah. I want to be more immersed in the aftertaste in my arms. But... you have to go now."

"... right"

"You've already made up your mind, haven't you? You made up your mind, didn't you? Then... I want you to go. That kid and Lace were listening together. But she said to me," Please go see me. "

"... sorry, with a man who can't pick one"

"I have no choice. Neither can I. Go on. I'm in this bed, 'cause I'm soaking up a little more aftertaste."

Get out of bed and put on your clothes so you can be pushed back.

And... he thanked her one last time and headed to Reis' room.

When I knock on the door, they tell me to come in, before this one speaks.

When I opened the door, Reis was at the window, rarely drinking alone.

Rarely......? When you lived in Promise Maiden, you should have been drinking frequently, but after your trip, you didn't really try to drink alone.

"Kai, come here"

"Yeah, sorry to bother you."

Sitting face to face, another glass already prepared is poured with amber liquid.

The characteristic aroma of distilled liquor rises and tickles the nostrils.

"I miss you. I can't believe we're drinking alone like this."

"Oh, right. I really miss you."

I remember. The night I first met her, I chose her and the two of us spent the night together.

Owner in Promise Maiden. I don't take guests, lonely queen.

That's what she did to my invitation. She offered me superb time.

"I can still remember what whiskey tasted like back then."

"Yeah, me too"

For a while. She was the one who broke it first.

"I love you from the bottom of my heart. Not the way you look, but the way you are as a normal person. Young, immature, still responsible for power, clumsy, but desperately suffering to be right, straight you. So I give you now... to your soul..."

She stood up, she takes my hand and makes me stand up.

Serious, eyes. Straight, hot eyes that peek into the back of these eyes.

"I want you to engrave me. I trusted you to come here."

"Reis... you knew everything, didn't you?

"Yeah. I'm sure Lue will think of me. I believed you would break Kai's final wedge and let him take a step."

"... I'm sorry, Reis. Impudent."

"... no. When I heard that story, we were the ones who couldn't stay or not. To Kai now... we are the ones who wanted to be united with you who walked, protected and loved us"

Quiet, she sat on the bed and...

"Earlier, I took a shower. Rest assured, I will always walk next to you. Analogy... even if it changes, we walk together. So..."

"... ok"

For the night club, on her beautiful dress, hands quietly.

Deep, you have to breathe in.

Don't let me drown in her.

"I... am not strong enough to live with this memory alone... Knowing the joy of dependence, I... just don't have the strength to wait any longer, as I did before."

"... so am I. I can't think of a way to leave you."

Lying next to her, wrapped in the light of day, she shrugged.

"So... don't give up. If you disappear, I'm sure you'll make it back. Our Kai can't beat anyone. I'm sure it's on me."

"... even if I were to give up my body in the first place, I would turn it down and take it away from you. That's how I feel, I'm going to try."

"Hehe, that's it. There's still... time. Let's go to Lue's together. Not because it might be the last... but also for the beginning of a new us."

"We still have until noon. Shall we sleep together?"

"Hehe, yes"

Illuminated by the morning sun, a limb that can only be a goddess wraps around the dress and heads to Lhue, where one awaits.

I let her lie in bed again, waiting without sleeping, and... quietly, in a way that doesn't have too many gaps to call the letter of the river, savoring the often slight sleep -

"Almost noon. Lunch, I made everyone's share..."

"It's okay, they're definitely gonna eat these delicious sandwiches"

"Hehe, I just want to eat it if I have any excess...... I'm fine. Unfortunately, I don't think we have any more."

Before noon. Good thing we're alone, we'll clean up our bodies as a mixed bath hot spring, and we'll make lunch, believing that they'll gather together.

Hot sandwich today. An appropriate menu that doesn't look like me, forced to arrange and pack what each one likes.

Well, of course Elle's share contains the Thai body that put the fire through. Because I can't even put sashimi in it right now.

"... it's about time"

Looking at the clock in the room, the long and short needles pointed to the apex.

Then - inside the mansion, four lights appeared at the same time.

Yes, four. Everything.

"Surprise... isn't it? You're here, El."

"Well,"

"You two are here, right?"

"Yep. Me and Shun... all of a sudden, we'll just be watching over the country"

"... I'm not entirely sure, but I've done what I can to think about what might happen."

Everyone came back with their own determination and readiness.

"All four. Welcome back."

"Oh, I'm just here. Kaivon, we're gonna win."

"Naturally. I decided I'd never end up the way I wanted it to, and I'd end up the way I wanted it to."

"Really, you're arrogant? That's Kyvon. I'm relieved."

"Naturally. It's in you. I've always been, haven't I?

"... normal driving, right? Then I'm sure you can win as usual. We've never lost before, have we?

"Right. If we have a warrior or a pigmaster, we can't lose."

Tap each other lightly. Then Elle stepped closer and whispered...

"I saw a shadow outside the workshop yesterday. Looks like you're hungry, huh? Sister, I'm so happy to be a senior in my life."

"... I knew you'd rather have a sashimi sandwich"

"Hey, what an approximate get-the-moment! I don't want to eat that!

Enemy, for you.

"Well, then we're all set, and we're going to pay for lunch - Before we leave."

"Come on, it's not a hike, is it?

"An excursion. Anyway, I can come back. I'll take a hike until I get home. Let's go."

"Hehe. Right? Well, I dare you here - dongle! Do you have dongles?

"Oh, there is."

"Oh ho!

"What, are you seriously eating dongles? What am I? What kind of sashimi sandwich is this?

"Unfortunately it's a Japanese-style tuna sandwich made in Thailand."

"Oh, it usually looks delicious"

Hand each one a lunchbox.

Just to feel like a picnic, not to feel it, and to be as usual.

"Pizza sandwich. It's a hot sandwich, so it's crisp and cheesy."

"Thank you. Really... the rice you make is delicious"

"Dahlia is a hot sandwich with hemp tofu-style ground beef. You like tofu?

"Thank you. I'll sit down. Tofu will start to be produced in the country in time, so sooner or later it will be used for technical guidance."

"Elle is a Japanese-style tuna sandwich, as I said earlier. You were the only one who had a plan for rice balls."

"Fine, I'd be happier to hang out with everyone. And I'm a little excited."

"Oink is more French toast than sandwiches. of Dongrigrasse."

"Oh ho!...... care and thank you. I look forward to eating it."

"Yes, I'm familiar with bread ice cream for Lue. It's like dessert, but this is bread, too."

"Yay! I was really surprised when I first ate this."

"Reis wanted to sandwich the stewed tomatoes... but I made them a steak sandwich"

"Ah... shame on you... thank you, Mr. Kai"

Everyone's favorite trapped, easy but temperamental lunch.

Let's eat this and try our last fight.

"Hey, what's in Mr. Kai?

"Me? Sautéed foie gras and large trout steak"

"Huh!? What an approximate retarded luxury choice!! That's the same for us, right? Definitely at dinner today!

"Oh, I promise. Because I'll definitely make it tonight."

Elle's innocent, plausible words of anger cement our final resolve.

"... Let's go, I'll finish it today. It may be strange for us to say this... but we're going to save this world! At the end of the excursion!

Then he flew out of the mansion and left for the sinus of the great tree, the land of the final showdown.
