Original subtitles

The princess's concert held at Grana Basin

was a great success.

It was an amazing event, even if you weren't able to see it live.

The people watching the broadcast were also able to have a wonderful time.

Thank you for being here tonight, everyone!

There was so much smiling and cheering that the concert seemed to end without anyone noticing.

The Galette troops headed back to their territory at dawn,

and those from Biscotti made their way back toward the castle.

Guide me, my ENDLESS LIGHT!

michibiite boku wo ENDLESS LIGHT

Do you have something to protect?

My true feelings will shine through my overflowing tears

Do you have something you believe in?

I sealed away the fragile future

And froze my beating heart

A dream too grand for these tiny hands

My thoughts will someday surpass reality

I was swimming through the sea of illusions

The 4 Conditions

Wow! What a warm welcome!

Indeed, you are right!

Hero, Yukki!

I've got to go look into something at the academy, so I'll be taking my leave now.

Oh, really?

Then I will inform the others!

Please do!

I'm back, everyone.

Welcome back, Chief!

How is the research on the return spell going?

Well,

we previously analyzed the spell, so it wasn't difficult.

We can perform the spell any time, given we make the proper preparations, but...

...certain requirements must be met.

There are four conditions which must be met in order to send the Hero back.

First, the original summoner must perform the ritual.

Second, the ritual must be performed within sixteen days of the summoning.

Third, the hero cannot bring anything earned or taken from Flonyard back to their world.

Fourth, once the hero has returned, they may never return to Flonyard.

Did you tell anyone else about this?

No, not yet.

The deadline is three days from now.

Man, I'm tired.

Yes?

Good evening.

Huh?

Oh, it's you, Rico. What's up?

We seem to have discovered a way to send you back.

You will be able to return within three days, just like we had planned.

I'd like to be happy about it,

but it seems like there's something bothering you.

There is a condition...

Once a hero has been sent back, he can never return to Flonyard again.

I see.

Also, you cannot bring anything back that you've gotten while in Flonyard.

This not only applies to goods, but also experience and knowledge.

The memories you made here in Flonyard will disappear during the ritual.

I see.

So that's why you've looked so down since last night.

I am ashamed of myself as chief of the research academy.

I wasn't thinking about this seriously enough.

I believed I could give it a perfect, happy ending, even if it seemed impossible.

Rico...

You didn't do anything wrong.

Your positive thinking is one of your strong points.

But... but...

You were getting along so well with the Princess, Hero.

We spent a lot of time together as well.

I just can't stand having it end like this after everything that's happened!

Rico...

I don't want you to forget about everyone here in Flonyard!

I want you to stay here!

It's hard to imagine not being able to see anyone again, or not being able to remember anything,

but, you know...

I have this feeling,

that even if I go back,

there's no way I could forget everything,

and I'm sure there's some way I could come back.

Am I the first one you've told this to, Rico?

Yes, other than the people at the research institute.

I see. Then that's fine.

Could I ask you for a favor?

The parts about not being able to return and not being able to remember anything,

could you keep those a secret?

What?

It's already sad enough to just say goodbye.

If we act like we'll never be able to see each other again...

I feel like it might come true.

But-

Anyway, I want to leave thinking that we'll be able to see each other again at any time.

Hero...

I see that you are in a good mood, Princess.

Of course!

Everyone enjoyed the concert, I was able to reconcile with Leo-sama,

and I'm going on a walk with Shinku tomorrow morning.

Oh my! That's definitely something to look forward to.

Yes!

Captain! Will the Hero be joining us to train tomorrow?

I don't know, why would you ask me?

Well, you seem to get along with the Hero quite well.

What are you talking about?!

Who and who?!

He said he's going to d'Arquien's place at noon.

If he's coming, it'll be in the morning.

All right! Roger that.

The Hero is coming over tomorrow, right?

He's coming over around noon.

He's coming to visit him, and to train with me for a while.

I should prepare a large lunch then!

Be sure to cool the sweets in the well!

Okay!

Do what you think is best.

Oh, by the way...

What?

Can I go out tomorrow?

I want to see Shinku with the three stooges.

I realized we haven't finished our battle yet!

Sure, do whatever you want.

I'll be visiting Biscotti the day after tomorrow.

Hey, stop that, Adam!

All right! I'll stop over there then!

Sure, just don't cause too much trouble.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, so you've found a way for Shinku to return home?

Yes, so I'd like to ask you to perform the ritual in the early morning three days from now.

Understood.

But even if I'm going to see him soon,

it's pretty sad to think that Shinku is going to be leaving.

Indeed...

It will be lonely without him.

Get ready, Princess!

All right!

It's my turn next, Shinku!

No way!

No bullying!

You dropped something, Shinku.

Oh.

You carry that everywhere you go.

Yeah, it's the prize I won at that competition you watched.

A memento for coming in second.

That must be something really important to you, then.

Yeah, you're right.

It's one of my most precious mementos.

Good afternoon!

Yo, Hero!

What's up?

You came again?

Of course I came.

Let's have a spar again, Eclair!

I want to get better with the sword.

Well, as long as you're not afraid of getting knocked around a little.

Good afternoon!

Welcome!

Pardon me!

Is the young fox doing well now?

Yeah, he seems to be fine now.

As a fellow earth deity, I'll make sure to raise him properly.

That's good.

Wait, what? Earth deity?

Oh? I didn't tell you yet?

I am an earth deity.

Yukki, you're a god?

Indeed. Now, respect me!

The Chief found me when I was out wandering by myself after my parents were killed by demons.

The country I am from was also destroyed by demons.

I see.

Even in Flonyard countries can be destroyed.

That was about one hundred and fifty years ago, though.

One hundred and-

There haven't been any fights in the last century,

so it has been pretty peaceful.

Since we have the power to seal away demons,

we travel around the continent, using Biscotti as our home base.

Are you also a god...?

No, I'm a human.

However, I have my own reasons for living a long life.

If only you were to remain here, Hero.

You could learn the spell and be my successor.

What?

The Chief is the only one who can use that spell!

I really want to learn it if you say it like that!

Well then, we'll try and teach it to you.

Yes!

Please do!

Ouch...

I guess it's impossible to perfect it in one day.

Yo! Shinku!

Oh, Gaul! You guys!

You're going somewhere?

I was just at d'Arquien's place.

Hey, Shinku! I brought you a souvenir.

Oh, really?

A collection of Galette's specialties.

Please take it with you to your home town!

Oh, thank you. Can I really have this?

My sister told me to bring it.

I see.

I need to find a way.

A way that won't sadden the Hero or anybody else.

Oh, Gaul-sama is so strong!

But Shinku isn't giving up!

Sorry for the wait.

I brought some drinks!

Sorry for making you work, Vert.

No, it's fine.

You idiot!

Again? You did it again?!

You...!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Sorry about that.

You have to be careful when Vert is behind you.

Yeah, I can see that.

I'm so sorry.

Well, feel free to go take a bath.

We'll take care of this mess in the meantime.

Ah, all right. Thanks!

Uh, let's see... Male and female bathe separately at this time.

This is male, and that's female.

All right! This is easy!

Good thing I studied.

Oh no, I made a mistake!

No way! Did I make a mistake again?!

This is terrible!

Sorry! Sorry!

But-

But what?

Hello?

Yes?

I seem to have made a mistake with the sign just now.

There are only women in this bath right now, right?

Yes! There's only one girl in here right now!

Thank you very much!

The signs are fixed now!

Thank you!

Can you stay like that for a little longer, Shinku?

Y-Yes!

It's fine now.

I have something to cover myself with, so would you mind getting in the bath with me?

Uh, sure.

Hey, Shinku?

Yes?

When do you think you'll be able to come here again?

It depends on how long I'm staying, I guess.

I could stay for a few days during Golden Week,

but during summer break I could stay for around two weeks.

Well, hopefully very soon.

It would be nice if your friends could also come.

Um, Rebecca-san and Nanami-san, right?

Yeah.

The entire castle would be sure to welcome them since they're your friends!

Thank you, Princess.

Hey, Shinku.

My name...

Can you remember my name?

Well, of course.

Millhiore Firianno Biscotti, or just Millhi.

Um, Millhi...

That's right, Shinku.

N-No way! I can't call you that in front of other people.

I'll get scolded for sure!

Y-You're right.

Well, it's not like I want to change how we call each other.

I'd just be happy if you didn't forget it.

You know, that my name is Millhiore, and that you can use Millhi for short.

I'll definitely remember.

There's no way I could forget.

But, you know, I really like calling you "Princess."

Like..

Princess, paw!

Okay!

Princess, another!

Okay!

Good, good! Good job, Princess!

You're so cute, Princess!

It's so simple, yet so fun! Why?!

What? I knew you were going back, but tomorrow is so soon.

Yeah, I know.

I was going to train you and Gaul...

as a thank you...

Well, let's save that for next time.

Sounds fine.

Millhi's petting technique is just divine!

You're just so pettable!

Her Highness is like that?

Well, although technically Leo-sama is a bit older...

More!

Leo-sama usually takes on the role of younger sister, while Millhi acts as the older sister.

Oh, what's this? Is it all right for me to be here?

Of course. Why else would I bring you along?

Indeed.

Everyone! The Hero, Shinku, has arrived!

Excuse me, everyone.

As I stated in the emergency bulletin,

The Hero, Shinku, who has aided in saving our country will be returning home tomorrow.

He is the same person who made the battle between Biscotti and Galette so much more lively,

but you already know that.

Although he will be returning home, he has promised that he will return soon!

And now, the "Thank you, Hero!" party's guest of honor!

I'd like you to say a few words, Shinku!

If you would, Shinku.

Go on!

Umm,

I was a normal student back in my world,

but since I was summoned here by the Princess to be a hero,

I was able to battle Their Highnesses Gaul and Leo-sama,

participate in such an amazing war,

and also, I was able to defeat a demon with the Princess.

Apart from fighting in various battles,

I was able to meet the Captain, Chief Panettone,

Chief Elmar, Captain Rizel and her maid squad,

Emilio and the knights...

A lot of people treated me very well here.

Oh! Lunch lady! Thank you for letting me and Rico have those snacks!

Oh, it's fine.

It was a truly amazing experience.

Even if I return to my world,

I'll never forget my experiences here,

and I'll come back very soon.

If Biscotti or Flonyard are ever in trouble,

then the Hero, Shinku, will come to the rescue!

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
