Thatās all, I hope you like it and enjoy it.\nCheers ~\n<b>Prologue</b>\nāAre you really going to leave?ā
In front of me, there was a gate of light that shone faintly.
āAzami-san, at the very least, once you go back to the kingdomā¦ā
With her long golden hair that reaches her waist, and her eyes that match the color of her hair shaking slightly, the half-elf saint Iris put her hand on her chest and said to me in a trembling voice.
Weāre at Toral Hill in the holy city of Anthem.
On my side, a girl with messy red hair, the hero Lindow is standing with her fists clenched as if she wanted to say something, and a dark elf, the great sage Lobelia, is glancing at me while twirling with her long, silvery hair with her fingers.
Itās been three years since I, Yanagi Azami, was summoned to this place from another world, and after a long journey, my hero party has defeated the Demon King.
If the Demon King is eliminated from this world, the gate to return to the other world can be opened again. I donāt know how it works, but Iāve met the conditions and Iām about to return to the world I came from.
āThe royalty and nobles are a pain in the ass, so Iāll just go back to my world right now.ā
āThatāsā¦.ā
I answered bluntly to Iris.
āIām not a resident of this world to begin with. Iām sure theyāll be glad to have one less person to reward.ā
Besides⦠Since I came to this world, Iāve been exposed to a lot of malice. Despite the fact that we all share the common goal of defeating the Demon King, there have been many troublesome incidents along the way, such as interference from the same race and so on.
āHey Iris, Lindow, Lobelia. Iād like to tell you in advance that I like you guys. But, you know what, Iām sick of this world.ā
āAzami-sanā¦ā
Lindow stepped forward and turned her sad eyes to me.
āThe Demon King has indeed been defeated. I think theyāll have a big party when you return to the kingdom. There will be peace for a while. But I donāt think itās going to be a happy ending there. What do you think will happen after that?ā
āThere will be reconstruction work in the devastated areasā¦ā
āā¦War.ā
Blocking Irisās carefree answer, Lobelia brushed back her long silver hair that was hanging down in front of her and said that.
āThe Demon King has been defeated. Now that the Demon King has been defeated, there will be a war between the races.ā
I smiled wryly at her answer.
āIf the Great Sage Lobelia-sama thinks so, then I guess Iām not imagining things all by myself.ā
āWhat do you mean by āsamaā?ā
Lobelia huffed and crossed her arms.
āWhen the war begins, our power will be relied upon. The power we wielded to defeat the Demon King wouldĀ be used to slaughter our own kind.ā
āIām not going to help them with that!ā
āNeither will I!ā
Lindow, Iris. Even if you think so, itās not that easy. So what happens if you refuse to do that?ā
āA hero will not lend her power to the kingdom for war. But for the kingdom, there is no guarantee that you will not lend your power to the empire or any other country.ā
Lobelia calmly replied to their objections.
āThatā s right. For the kingdom and other countries, we are in many ways a force to be reckoned with.ā
āā¦..ā
āWell, thereās always the possibility that this is just a bad fantasy and the reality is just a happy ending. But be careful, everyone. Lobelia, take care of them.ā
Finally, I smiled at the two who had fallen silent, and asked Lobelia, the most intelligent of the three, to take care of the situation.
āIt sounded like you werenāt even worried about me, huh?ā
āNot at all. Weāre all just kids to you.ā
I spoke lightly and looked at the gate of the other world. I spent three years here, but apparently not much time has passed in my world since I came to this world because time flows differently.
āAzami-san⦠In the end, I couldnāt defeat you even once in swordsmanship. I think that without you, I would have never been able to defeat the Demon King.ā
āIf I, a class with only a sword as its forte, were to lose in swordsmanship, there would be no place for me to stand anymore, so please forgive me. As for defeating the Demon King, you might have been able to do something about it.ā
āThatās⦠and itās always you whoās been there for me when Iām being naive. Thank you very much.ā
āThereās nothing wrong with being naive, but donāt let your guard down when your life depends on it.ā
āYes!ā
Lindo. A hero of the human race who has the blood of the hero and received a gifted education in the kingdom.
āSo this really is goodbye, isnāt it?ā
āIf weāre still alive, we might meet again someday, and if we both die, we might meet in the afterlife.ā
āGeez⦠But youāre right, Iād be happy to see you again. I really want you to stay here, butā¦ā
āDonāt say that, itāll make it difficult for me to go. Iris is as kind as ever, even to this old man.ā
āNo, youāre not an old man!ā
āItās wonderful that youāre so kind, keep it up. But donāt fall for the bad guys.ā
āI wonāt! Itās just⦠ummā¦ā
Iris. She is a half-elf saint who was born with a powerful healing power inside her and is the saint of the largest religion in the kingdom.
āIām sure youāll be fine, but I hope youāre doing well over there too.ā
āAnd Lobelia, take care of yourself. Thank you for everything youāve done for me.ā
āItās mutual. Iāve noticed that youāve been treating me like a child. How many times do you think Iām older than you?ā
āThatās how much I care about you.ā
āBah⦠If thatās what you think, then⦠no, thatās fine.ā
Lobelia. Sheās a dark elf who lives alone in the depths of the great forest, studying magic.
Everyone is an important friend to me. But, would it be too selfish of me to go back to the world I came from?
āā¦Lindow.ā
As if to squelch that guilty feeling, I tossed the sword hanging from my waist to Lindow.
āAzami-san, whatās this?ā
āThere is no guarantee that the time will not come when you will need it, please accept it as a parting gift. Unfortunately, the world Iām going back to is a peaceful world where thereās no need to use such a thing.ā
āThank you⦠I will treasure it.ā
If I bring it back to Japan and the police find it by any chance, Iāll be in trouble.
Next to Lindow, who grasps the sword as if to suppress her emotions, is Iris, who looked at me with expectant eyes.
āIris wants something too. Please give me something as well. Ah, I think Iād like something you brought from the other world.ā
āWhat do you mean by somethingā¦ā
Lobelia also understood Irisās meaning and so I ended up giving Iris a cheap watch and Lobelia a tie and a necktie pin.
āIs this what you want?ā
āYes! Iām so happy! Iāll cherish it forever!ā
āYeah, itās enough.ā
āThatās good then⦠Well, Iād better be going.ā
I took a step towards the gate.
As soon as I pass through this gate, I would have to say goodbye to this world and to these three people.
āAzami-san.ā
āSigh⦠Uhā¦ā
āLetās meet again when we can.ā
I responded to the three different voices by raising my hand lightly with my back to them.
āI hope youāre all doing well.ā
I felt like I would miss them if I saw their faces. I continued on my way and was enveloped in a pale light.\nTable of ContentĀ Next >>\n
