The battle to rescue the Princess has ended in success.

And they all lived happily ever after.

But most of all, I'm glad to hear the Princess's concert turned out to be a success as well.

I wouldn't mind if every day was this peaceful from now on.

I couldn't agree more.

Guide me, my ENDLESS LIGHT!

michibiite boku wo ENDLESS LIGHT

Do you have something to protect?

mamoru mono ga arimasuka

My true feelings will shine through my overflowing tears

kotoba yori mo sunao na namida kakushi kirenai overflow

Do you have something you believe in?

shinjiru mono ga arimasuka

I sealed away the fragile future

kowaresou na mirai wo nando mo tojikome

And froze my beating heart

kokoro kooraseteita

A dream too grand for these tiny hands

chippokena kono te ni kakaekirenai hodo no yume

My thoughts will someday surpass reality

souzou ga genjitsu wo itsu no hi ka oikoshite

I was swimming through the sea of illusions

maboroshi no umi oyoideta zutto

Through the skies of agony, I wish to deliver this to you!

ima sugu kimi ni todoketai nageki no sora wo tsuranuite

The starry mirror of the night sky illuminates the truth

yoru ga miseru hoshi no kagami shinjitsu wo terashite ikuyo

The scarlet key, my echoing heartbeat, cannot be stopped!

The next day, after the battle at Fort Mion, and the Princess's concert,

Princess who composes from stars

the rest of Galette's army that had been staying in Biscotti

began to withdraw their forces.

Meanwhile, here in the Audience Hall of Filianno Castle...

Knights of Biscotti,

even though we've suffered many losses in the past, your performance in the last two battles was excellent.

Thank you.

Let us proceed to the award ceremony.

Captain of the Biscotti Knights, Lord Laurent Martinozzi, come forth.

Yes, sir!

These events are surprisingly formal.

What kind of country do you think we're running here, Hero?

Of course it's formal.

It's an official state affair, after all.

I see.

Captain of the Imperial Guards, Lord Eclair Martinozzi.

Yes, sir!

Eclair, for your contribution to the battle, and keeping watch over the Hero,

you have my sincere gratitude.

You were the first one who came to my rescue during the last battle, right?

Please, that was...

Thank you, Eclair.

I-I am very honored.

It looks like Eclair's in heaven.

A petting from the Princess is truly a wonderful thing.

It really is a great feeling.

After all that, quite a while has passed since the Hero arrived.

Oh! Hero, Rico! Welcome!

Excuse us!

Here are the usual leftovers. Use the bread to make yourselves some sandwiches.

Thank you very much!

Oh, we also have something for the knights.

Could you deliver it for us?

Of course!

There's some for you two as well.

Roger!

This smell...

Today's snack is flower honey tart!

It smells so good.

It's not just you, huh? All girls must love sweets.

Rico is a girl, of course, and my brain's always at work too!

That's why I require lots of them!

The Hero and the chairman!

Running errands?

I'm very sorry.

It's fine.

Everyone! The kitchen has sent us some food!

Let's take a break!

Yes, sir!

Eclair! We brought some sweets!

Oh, I'm fine.

That's not like you.

I just want to practice some more.

Then I'll be your partner.

That's a great idea.

Could you assist her again, Hero?

Yes!

Everyone, keep a good eye on this!

It's a fight between the Hero and the Captain of the Imperial Guards!

Yes, sir!

What is your weapon of choice today?

I'll use this today.

A sword!

Hmph, always showing off. Oh, well...

Come.

Of course!

It looks like Eclair is having fun.

She is my younger sister, after all.

There aren't any young knights that can keep up with her.

It's good to know that there's someone as strong as her that she can spar with.

Their age is similar, too.

I wouldn't mind seeing them getting married.

Take that!

I had a really bad feeling just now...

Really? I didn't feel anything.

Did you catch a cold?

I bet you sleep with your stomach exposed.

Ow- That hurts!

Y-You stupid hero! Don't just go touching a knight's forehead!

You stupid, stupid, stupid Hero!

I'm sorry!

They seem to be getting along pretty well, don't you agree?

I'm not so sure about that...

That was awful.

Don't you think Eclair is a bit too harsh? She's such a violent girl...

Oh, well... Lead the way, doggies!

Yukki!

Good afternoon!

Oh, the Hero!

Chief!

Good afternoon, Lord d'Arquien.

Indeed, today is a great day for fishing.

We figured this would be a busy time for Biscotti, so we returned a bit earlier.

Now I can see there was no need to worry.

The Hero and Eclair have been working hard.

You're a very interesting person, Hero.

What? Me?

I heard that you've been in Biscotti for only a while,

but you've already earned the trust of the knights, Rico, and everyone else in the castle.

Well... Eclair still tends to beat me up quite a bit...

No, no. That just means she's able to let her guard down around you.

I hope that's the case.

I think you have a bite!

You're right!

It's big! It's big!

You really have a big one there!

Sorry, Yukki!

Please cook that one as well.

Understood!

You're a guest from another world, aren't you?

That's right.

Then, do you plan on returning to that world?

Or are you perhaps planning on staying here?

Oh, crap!

I completely forgot! I still have no idea how to return!

Yukki, what did you just say?

I asked if you were planning to go back.

"Summoned heroes cannot return home" is what they say around here.

However, there are rumors in far away lands that a hero can return after fulfilling certain duties.

Is that true?

Oh, thank you.

Rico said she's looked into it, and has discovered that the rumors may be true.

Really?

Do you have family back home, Hero?

Yes!

My father, mother, relatives, and friends too.

That sounds nice.

I think the fish is done.

I'll take care of it!

I'll help!

I wonder if Becky is doing all right.

Rebecca? Rebecca?

Rebecca?

At least answer me if you're here.

Could you do some grocery shopping?

And please, clean up your room! It's so messy.

Honestly, slacking off just because Shinku-kun isn't here...

This has nothing to do with Shinku.

That idiot. He usually texts me all the time, so I get really worried when he suddenly stops.

That's just how he is, though.

I bet he's just been busy messing around wherever he is.

Oh! I haven't read my fortune in a while.

Let's see. My fortune is...

mediocre.

And Shinku's is...

horrible for this week?

Unexpected misfortunes will befall you constantly?!

Laurent?

Yes, Princess?

How has the Hero been spending his day?

Princess, you have asked that question to everyone you've seen today.

What?

Right now...

I believe he should be visiting Lord d'Arquien.

Oh, really? Do you think Brioche likes him?

Definitely.

Yukikaze and the rest of the Covert Ops squad do as well.

I see.

Princess, I've left your schedule open after this afternoon's lesson and the dinner party.

There will be ample time to relax and speak with the Hero.

Really?

Right, Captain of the Knights?

Yes. I've already informed the Hero.

Thank you both very much!

Now, the Captain of the Knights is waiting. Please process these forms.

Okay!

Please do.

All right!

Excuse us!

I'm sorry, I will only be bothering you for a moment.

Murakumo really stands out in town.

It has a large figure, like me.

We will now proceed to the knight's headquarters.

You have a meeting with the Princess, right?

Yes!

Make sure not to offend the Princess!

No problem!

Maids of the Princess!

Commence the thorough cleaning of the Hero!

Begin!

Stop!

We will not stop. There's no way you can appear before the Princess after an entire day of playing around.

I, Rizel Conchiglie, Head of the Maids, will not permit that.

But I can wash myself!

Your resistance is futile.

The Hero has arrived, Princess.

Okay, please let him through.

G-Good evening.

Good evening, Hero.

Right...

It's a bit chilly tonight, so I prepared some hot tea.

Do you like sweet tea?

I love it.

Wonderful!

The tea from Biscotti is really delicious.

It has a fruity scent.

This tea is one of our specialties. It's considered as a quality product in far-off lands.

I can taste why.

Well, um, Hero...

Huh?

Allow me to apologize once more.

I am sorry for summoning you.

Please, don't let it bother you.

The people here treat me very well.

I'm having fun.

You're not lying?

Heroes never lie.

Besides, hasn't Rico told you?

There are ways to return, apparently.

You shouldn't worry so much.

Right...

But, there is something I need to ask you, Princess.

Yes?

Why did you choose me to be your hero?

Um, well...

If it's a secret, then I won't press the issue.

I-It's not really a secret. You see, well...

Yes?

Do you know what star composition is?

Star composition?

It's a type of Seal Spell. You use an image board to see various things.

See things?

Far away worlds, for example.

Depending on the person, you might catch a glimpse of things you're looking for, or even the near future.

Really?

Of course, you can't see too much, and it's hard to discern exactly what you see...

I see.

Since I'm able to perform star composition, everyone once in a while I'd look at worlds far away from Flonyard.

There I saw a silver battlefield, kind of like a castle.

Within this castle, fighting so bravely, there was a small boy with blond hair.

Even though he was small, his movements were both graceful and powerful.

He was so diligent and honest.

I couldn't help but want him to become the Hero of our country!

That's what I thought.

H-Hero?!

When you saw me back then, was I wearing a black shirt with a fire design?

Yes, that's right.

That's the match I lost...

It was during Iron Athletics, a battle of sorts in our world.

The girl who won was a pretty girl who was slightly older than you, right?

Yes. She is my relative, master, and rival.

I can't believe it. You really saw it all.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize...

Well, there was TV coverage too, so it's okay.

But I lost to Nanami because of our finishing times.

I was crying, wasn't I?

I tried my best, but I couldn't even reach what I aimed for.

I lost by a mere two seconds.

I felt sorry and embarrassed for my friends and family that came to cheer me on.

I couldn't stop crying.

But the tears that you shed were beautiful!

The beautiful tears of someone who gave it his all.

That's why I chose you over Nanami or anyone else!

Uh, right, I guess wanting you to become our hero sounds kind of weird...

Uhm, it's fine to call me Shinku.

Sir Shinku?

Just Shinku.

Ah, right.

So...

I wanted Shinku to come above all others.

I really wanted Shinku to become our country's hero.

Thank you, Princess.

I really appreciate this, Lord d'Arquien.

You came to help after all.

Please, I left the country on my own for a year when we were so busy.

I'm glad to help in whatever way I can.

You're not bound by the country, you know.

However, I'm glad your loyalty currently lies with Biscotti.

You're giving me too much credit.

For now...

I'm just simple wanderer.

You'll be staying for a while this time, right?

Well...

To find what I'm looking for, I have to depend on Yukikaze's star composition.

I can't get anywhere without her.

But I would like to stay as long as possible.

Besides,

our neighbor, Galette, seems to be quite troublesome.

Indeed.

I can't perform composition myself, but even I can tell that their style is very out of the ordinary.

It's not really Galette itself...

Princess Leo seems to be the issue.

I would rather not consider this,

but I think Beasts may be involved.

If that is true...

Then that is where I come in.

Well then, Shinku, you come by tomorrow morning like we promised, right?

Yeah.

Six o'clock at the back gate.

I'll be there!

Princess,

do you have a date with the Hero?

We're going for a walk in the morning.

Shinku said that he's fine with waking up that early.

I am glad to hear that.

Tomorrow should be lots of fun.

Yes!

I used to take walks together with Leo-sama...

Dammit.

Not again.

Nothing has changed, not even after the war.

No, it's gotten even worse.

My star composition is far from the best...

So, why?

Why can I see the future so clearly?

The Master of Excellead, Princess Millhiore, and The Master of Paladion, Hero Shinku,

will definitely die within 30 days.

This vision of the future can never change.

Not only will Millhi die, but the Hero as well.

I don't care if this is what the stars have decided.

I will not just stand idle and let such things happen.

I will use you,

Clanvert!

Be it the heavens or the stars,

I'll be able to change the outcome with you!

It was the next day that Her Highness Leo made quite an astonishing announcement.

Jump out to the world that awaits you

zutto kimi wo matteta sekai e tobidashite

I'll guide you through a lost story

annai suru yo yukuefumei ni natta monogatari e

Tomorrow will surely change if you so wish

nozonda no nara kitto asu mo kaerareru hazu

A "thank you" that I was unable to say

ienakatta arigatou da toka

And a "sorry" that I left behind are wandering

otoshita gomen ga samayotte iru

I'm here to pick them up!

mukae ni kita no

The melody into the future resounds

mirai e no melody hibikeba

It's a song for you

sore wa kimi no tame no uta

I really wanted to give it to you

todoketakute todoketakute

Even if I look up at the sky

kono sora miagete

And extend my hands toward it, I feel heartbroken

te wo nobashitemo setsunai kedo

But I want us to be smiling

egao de irareru you ni

If you can hear a distant voice

nee koe ga kikoeta nara

Reach into your heart and remember me

kokoro ni tomete omoidashite mite ne
