--The team of brave people was graciously greeted in the royal capital without missing a single person. Many people from all over the world gathered to see the faces of the heroes who saved the world, and the boulevard seemed to be made up by people.
Some of us, Arnold, Mr. Merzedes, and the people of Rustu, rushed back to the capital, but I was pursued as a king's concoctionist before I could face Lukash. A feast that celebrated the whole royal family -- it was closer to being a festival than a festival -- was being concocted with healing medicine.
The fact that I could not participate in the festival that lasted for about seven days and nights was honestly a lingering tragedy, but the wounds left by the demon king and monsters were deep. While there are people who can get drunk on the splendid feast in the king's city, there are people who are still hurt and suffering.
Unlike the game, if I defeated the Demon King, the ending would not flow. Rather, the rest of my life is longer. I have to work as a royal conciliator's assistant to rebuild the world.
Continuing the concoction with all my heart - when the festival came to a halt and there was some room for concoction, I was finally able to reunite with Lukash and the others on the royal castle balcony.
The aftertaste of the festival is still there, and the city can hear fun music late at night. Perhaps the balcony was chosen as a place to reunite because of the love of Lukash and the festive atmosphere.
Lukash! Guys!
Laura!
Elvira, Malta, Julius, Diona, and Vake led the way to the balcony. No one seems to be seriously injured. Is it because he was taken around as the main character of the festival?
Elvira said to Arnold, who was hiding behind me, "Oniichan!" She rushed over, and if she followed her back with unexpected eyes, she would be held firmly by her brother.
- Oh, thank goodness I was able to protect Arnold, entrusted to me by Elvira.
After seeing the impressive reunion of Rocco's siblings, Lukash and I face each other head-on again. Looking up, he seemed to be even stronger again, and his heart was filled with childhood familiarity that fulfilled his mission as a brave man.
"Thank you, I'm so glad you're okay."
My tears almost spilled and I fell down so I couldn't see my crying face.
I'm so glad Lukash and the others are safe. I was able to seal the Demon King, and Arnold woke up. And that's because they risked their lives against the Demon King.
Lukash grabbed my hand as I looked down. Haha, the tears falling from her cheeks as she lifted up her face. At that moment, I was gently embraced.
"Thank you for coming, Laura. I'm glad you're okay."
Yes, yes. I nod repeatedly, wetting Lukash's clothes with tears and rejoicing. My lacrimal glands were still loose because of the temperature I felt immediately next to me.
Hmph, Lukash had a gaze behind me as she wondered if her hug had been broken. In retrospect, Arnold stands there with a serious look on his face.
- Didn't I say I'd wake you up and shoot you?
I moved away from Lukash softly. With that, the childhood friend and senpai stared at each other for a few seconds - Lukash gradually approached Arnold with his big strands. And then I hit my right cheek with that momentum.
Without any resistance, Arnold, who was beaten directly in front of him, falls to the ground. I desperately suppressed my body, which was about to rush over, and watched what was going on.
"It's not enough to just hit me once!" Put these brackets on! "
Lukash screams. Arnold stands up with his right cheek suppressed.
I was worried about Arnold, and I couldn't help it. Even when I was confronted with the Demon King, I must have cared.
Does Arnold understand that? He didn't complain about being beaten, but instead apologized by bending his hips nearly 90 degrees.
"Ah.... I'm sorry to bother you."
Ugh
Lukash gulped and pushed silently. If he is gentle and apologized, he will not be able to come any closer. The visible voltage of anger went down.
Arnold repeats his words to Lukasch, who is jammed with words, even though he doesn't intend to.
"Thank you."
"It's hard to be angry when you're suddenly honest!"
At last, Lukash raised his voice. And he grunted at Arnold with resentment. As expected, Arnold felt that he could not sit on his stomach. He raised his head and caught some of his eyes.
"... is that what you say to someone you honestly apologize to?"
When it comes to the original situation, it's because of Arnold, who decided on his own and moved on his own, and worried all the time!
― ― Arnold is generally weak in this case. He apologized again, “I'm sorry,” even though he looked a little disgruntled. Lukash then embraces Arnold in the same way he did to me earlier.
It was Arnold who suddenly opened his eyes to the sudden embrace and showed resistance.
"... I'm alive"
When I thought that Lukash had stopped moving in response to the words he spilled, I slowly hugged him back.
Yeah, I think so. It's called a man's friendship. When we first met, the two of us were so inseparable that we had a strong embrace to bite each other safely. I'm sure that these two friendships will continue in the future.
All of us watched Lukash and Arnold's embrace with warm eyes. Have you noticed that, or have you returned to me and become embarrassed? The two of them silently release their hugs. Lukash looked over at his people and asked them to change the muddy air.
“What are we going to do now?”
From now on--that is, after defeating the demon king and the festival of celebration is over. In "Last Brave", the story of each of the companions "after" was painted in a picture and flowed at the end. Although it was not made clear, some of his companions were going on a journey and others were going back to their hometown.
"I wonder if I should go on a treasure hunt."
The first answer was given by Malta.
I recall that Malta, the "Last Brave", had the same answer. At the end of the game, Malta once again depicted her treasure hunting journey as a treasure hunter.
Speaking of which, you were a treasure hunter in Malta.
"Yes! I'm a treasure hunter!" I couldn't find any treasure about Lukash, but I'm not convinced. "
"You just followed me on your own, didn't you?"
It was Julius who charged into Malta from the side. Marta's cheeks were swollen just because she said she was disgruntled.
Before it developed into a quarrel, Lukash broke in.
Is Julius home?
"... that's right, I want to go home and praise you properly." I left the village to be chased by a monster, so I didn't get anything. "
― ― The home of Julius, ravaged by the monsters. A great wound left by the Demon King. He seems to go back first and mourn for his loved ones.
Julius laughed alone in the heavy air. He didn't seem to be laughing at the imposition.
I'll see you someday.
Julius offered Lukash his right hand. The childhood friend took the hand and nodded firmly, "Again."
Once they are scattered, the time spent together does not disappear. A team of brave people will be united for life with a special bond. So I'm sure Lukash and Julius will meet again, and the day will come when they'll miss this.
After finishing his handshake with Julius, Lukash shifted his gaze to Vake.
Is Mr. Vake in the capital for a while?
"No, I'm going to travel all over the place where the monsters attacked me." I don't think I'll be able to come back for a while. "
That would be the role of the Commander of the Knights of Chevalier, but when will he be able to rest? I imagined that Vake would be distracted if he were in my position, but he was still smiling lavishly.
Vake, the Commander of the Knights, and I will continue to face each other. As he stared sideways, his gaze turned to us.
I'm sure you'll take care of me a lot in the future, but thank you again.
They will be offered their right hand. I held that hand with my hands wide and fine.
I'm glad Vake's here. His presence must have been so great in the line of brave men. I think so from the bottom of my heart.
It seems that Lukash was the same, and the childhood friendly is said to be spotty.
"If it weren't for Vake-san, I'd really--"
"Please stop saying embarrassing things." I still had a lot to lose. [M] You're the ones who made me realize that, thank you. "
After Vake finished shaking my hand, he stroked Lukash's head roughly with the same right hand. Wow, it was a childhood friend who blushed a little, but he didn't shake his hand.
"Also, please follow the training."
Anytime.
Perhaps it was a slightly different relationship between Master and his apprentice, but for Lukash, it would have been difficult to get a connection with Vake.
Suddenly, I noticed Diona smiling a little away from her circle of friends, trying not to get in the way. I call out unexpectedly.
What's Diona going to do?
“There's a lot of post-processing, so I think we're in a hurry for a while.”
According to her, the people of Rustu will be hunted down for a while. Iris may also get busy and out of the mix. At that time, let's make sure that we can follow you as seniors. She owes Basilio too.
When the post-processing is finished, will Diona go on the journey as she said she would? I wanted to see her regularly as a friend, and I thought, "Where's Laura?” they asked.
"I think I've been busy with the concoction work for a while. If you ever come to King's Landing, let's have a cup of tea or two."
It is difficult to travel together, but you can always have a cup of tea together. I want to continue to make friends with Diona. I want to help her in some way as she begins her life.
Diona rolled her eyes at my suggestion - and then nodded heavily.
Yes!
"Ah, hey, there's me too!"
Just then, Marta hugged me and Diona on the shoulders and came into the conversation. "Of course," replied Diona cheerfully.
I'm sure it will be a pleasant tea party. I may be able to tell you a lot about this trip. I was thinking that if I didn't find a shop in King's Landing that Diona and Malta would like, I would.
Tong, there was a shock on his back. Looking back, you can see Elvira clutching her arms around me.
"... Elvira?"
Thank you
I was glad of the gratitude that was being crushed.
Elvira's magic must have been very useful. I think you wanted to see what it looked like. I'll let her talk to me when I get settled.
Elvira loosened her hand and turned to face her, wanting to see her face.
Is Elvira going back to the village with Mr. Merzedes?
"We need to rebuild the village."
I see, that's right.
The Elf Village was also being attacked by monsters. The Inglés and the Elves left the city of the people of Rustu at the same time as we did, so they must be working hard to rebuild it now.
I was lonely thinking I might miss Elvira for a while, and she suddenly crushed me in front of her.
When I calm down, I want to study spirits.
About the Spirit?
Elvira's dreams for the future were unexpected.
Elvira continues to look at me with amazement, hardened.
"I want to repay them for helping me." I think you should be properly sacrificed. "
Indeed, while there was a spirit sacrificed at the altar, the spirit of the water of the previous generation, Lord Fontarpne, was forgotten, and its name disappeared from the place name. But still, he gave love to people. I don't know why the treatment has changed so much, but the existence of spirits may not be well communicated in some regions.
Elvira was saved by the forgotten spirit Lord Fontarpne. Is there anything you think about the spiritual faith of the people?
"...... That's nice, isn't it?"
The words that came out of my mouth were indisputably true.
Elvira, helped by the Spirit, learns to repay the Spirit. Perhaps her research will be useful in the fight against the future demon king. This victory, including the Holy Sword, could not be achieved without the help of the Spirits.
Elvira looks happy with my companionship.
I want you to cooperate with Akari, so can you ask for Laura's help?
Of course!
I didn't hesitate, but I'm sure Akari can help.
Elvira narrowed her eyes happily, and now hugged her from the front. While hugging back a little smaller than myself, I was able to open my heart a lot more than when I first met you. How emotional.
"I'll see you again."
Yeah, I'll be waiting.
Elvira was embarrassed or left me to run away. I'm sure Elvira will grow up to be a wonderful woman, watching her back.
She followed her gaze into the room with her brother. The blowing wind is cold. It may cool your body as it is.
Everyone around him said, "It's getting cold," and he went back to the room from the balcony. I tried to follow them, but I couldn't find Lukash's back in it and stopped and looked back.
That way, one of the childhood friends was watching the castle from the balcony.
Walk up and line up next to it. Lukash glanced down at the city light with a delightful expression as he gazed at us.
― ― This sight from here was protected by Lukash and the others.
"I'll go back to the village of Eme once." I want to slow down a little bit. "
I don't think anyone would be angry with me for a few years. But I'm sure Lukash will go back to the village and help the rest of the village. The sight comes to my mind.
I'm so glad the hero of this world is Lukash. I've thought about it a few times, but now I'm going to bite it again.
"Tell him I'm going back once the post-processing is settled."
"All right."
Lukash looked at me with his elbow on the balcony railings. With the elbow on, childhood familiarity naturally becomes a rounded position, and the gaze is closer than usual.
"Hey, Laura, I'm going to go on a trip alone when I get settled."
After a few seconds, I was unable to chew the words I was told and the reaction was delayed.
The hero of "Last Brave" was also depicted in the figure afterwards, depicting him on a journey. That's why I had a premonition that maybe--
Traveling?
“Yes, the journey I'm looking for”
A journey of your own. Tilt your neck to the word that came out of your childhood friend's mouth.
Lukash continued with a bitter smile.
"A while ago, I was desperate not to be left behind by Laura, and when the Demon King appeared, I was desperate to defeat him... and realized that I had never thought about what I wanted to do or what I wanted to be."
"Luca..."
Lukash desperately fulfilled the mission he had been given. That's great, but I see, it may not be the way you chose it.
He is going on a journey to find out what he wants to do and what he should do in his life to come. Beyond being a brave man who saved the world, I was able to play and live my whole life without having to do anything, but it seemed that Lukash hadn't even thought about it.
"I want to go around the city, leave the Austrian country, meet many different people... and find out what I can do and what I want to do, no matter how many years it takes."
Yeah.
To put it honestly, I'm lonely. I'm sure Lukash's journey will be a long one. I will be busier than ever if I become a regular Kings concoctionist, and I will have to travel all over the city to fulfill my dream of teaching the city's concoctionists. Perhaps we'll have less time than we have now. That's why I miss you.
But there was no way I could stop it.
So before I go on the journey, I thought I'd cut off the underdevelopment.
- Unskilled?
Lukash wakes up from the handrail. And staring straight at me,
"Laura, you were my first love."
That's what I said.
She smiled gently and with her eyes closed.
- First love?... me? Lukash's first love?
”Ahahah! You look surprised!”
Lukash laughed angrily at the stupid look on his face.
Anyway, if I didn't say something, I would open my mouth and my heart would drop.
"I-I mean, I'm really surprised..."
"I thought so. Yeah, I can see that face, so I guess I'm satisfied."
He looked up at the stars as he wiped his fingertips at the tears floating around his eyes. The face on the side was very refreshing, with a sunny expression.
- Lukash said. "It was my first love." It's the past, which means he's already putting his weight on that feeling.
Maybe he knew my heart better than I do. My heart was directed at him before I even realized it.
Lukash looked up at the starry sky and said.
"When I go on a journey, I grow bigger and bigger." The fish Raoula let go of was big, and I'm going to be a man you can think of. "
"... yes..."
I'm sure Lukash will see things through. It's lonely not to be able to keep an eye on it, but this time, I have to get used to it.
Our paths are breaking apart. You won't be able to dirty your clothes and play in the mountains like you used to. But that is not sad. The days I spent with Lukash will continue to support me, and no matter how long I haven't been able to meet him, I'm sure I'll be able to return to my irresistible childhood once I meet him again.
"I'll send you a letter from the destination."
"I don't think I got a response."
“Maybe, because I don't want to stop.”
Lukash, who laughed like that, was not lost in his eyes.
Thinking that he might have struck his arm, he immediately lifted it up to his arms. Wow, looking at me in a panic, Lukash laughed out loud again.
"Laura! My proud childhood friend!"
― ― The pride of childhood familiarity.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. For me, too, you're
"Lukash, my proud childhood friend."
Lukash laughs. I laugh too.
More gentle than anyone else, Lukash. I will have hurt him one day because I am dull, clumsy, and dull. Nevertheless, he laughs at me like this.
Sometimes I cursed my fate. I still remember the days when I was desperate to escape. But now I can say it from the bottom of my heart.
Brave_Lukash's childhood was the most fortunate event in my life.
If he will, I will live my entire life as a brave childhood friend. Don't be ashamed of what Lukash calls "proud childhood friendliness," let's live our lives to the fullest.
"I'm coming, Laura."
"Come on, Luca."
May there be much happiness and blessings in Lukash's journey ahead.
