Wow, imagine, Master saying it's time to have some fun for once.

Right? That was a surprise!

Okay, let's go right to the casino!

Tch, tch, tch, the casino is best at night.

Besides, let's save the main dish until Seiya is here with us. Until then...

Wh-What, Rista?

If you two are going to have some fun

you can't do it wearing those sorry clothes.

But these are all we have.

We have plenty on hand, though.

--Really? --Seriously?

Guys

it's time to let yourselves relax!

--Yeah! --Yeah!

Wow, this is so cute!

But I like this outfit, too.

This leather jacket is pretty cool!

Oh, what have we here? Bathing suits?

They even have these, despite the beach being so far away.

They are for the hot springs.

Hot springs?

Orphée is famous for its hot springs.

The mixed communal bathing is extremely popular.

M-Mixed?!

Which means I could go bathing together with Seiya!

Yikes! My brain is really going limp!

Hey, Rista, what are you doing?

Bathing suits! There are hot springs here!

You two can pick out whichever one you'd like.

--Hot springs?! --For real?!

Hmm, these are all kind of lame.

The tailors in the Divine Realm are way ahead of the forefront of fashion.

Well, this is a sword-and-sorcery world, so what choice is there?

Might as well choose one of the better ones--

Uh-oh, did she overhear me?

Here is a separate style bathing suit. I'm sure it will look great on you.

Mm-hmm, it's cute. I think this will do.

It's not bad, all right. And given the store, they're probably doing their best.

What do you think about this one for you, miss?

Huh? Excuse me, but where is the bra?

It doesn't have one. This is a "topless" style bathing suit, without a bra.

I'm sure you will look great in it.

Sh-She really did overhear me, and now she's trying to make a fool of me!

This doesn't even count as a bathing suit, right?

It leaves the boobs completely exposed!

It's not to your liking, then? Well, what can I say?

How about this one?

A single-breasted bathing suit.

It would look great on you.

Not a chance! Do you take me for a bimbo?!

No, huh? But it's so fashionable.

You know how some people wear an eyepatch, even though their eye is fine?

It's the same idea as that.

Don't try to equate this with eyepatch cosplay!

Some people may cover one eye

but I've never seen anyone cover only one breast!

Take it easy, Rista!

You're a goddess, but you're acting like a disgrace!

Well this woman is suggesting nothing but crazy bathing suits!

We do have some bottomless bathing suits, too. What about those?

If you pair one of those with a topless bathing suit, you just go naked, right?

Never mind, I'll find one myself.

Mash, you pick out a bathing suit for Seiya.

Oh, is this "Seiya" gentleman your boyfriend, by any chance?

That's right, he's my boyfriend!

R-Rista, no, he isn't.

Then what do you think of this sort of

"open front" bathing suit for your fine boyfriend?

Hey, now...

How much?!

--You're buying it?! --You're buying it?!

If he puts those on, I'll be able to see Seiya's elephant!

I'll take this one, as well.

Now that I think about it, I can actually use these come nighttime.

--Use them at night? --How do you mean?

Best if you children don't think about it too hard.

I was dead drunk when I sewed those; I never thought anyone would buy them!

I've been bested.

The single-breasted and open-front gag bathing suit set...

...gets you a markdown!

Thank you.

Good stuff cheap!

--Come buy some fancy barbecue pork!

--Wow, they all look so good! --Come buy some fancy barbecue pork!

I'm so hungry! Rista, when are we meeting up with Master?

Hmm, he wasn't at the items shop when I checked.

We may have to meet him at the castle.

Let's buy a whole bunch, and eat back at our room before going to the casino!

--Hooray! --Hooray!

Hey! Good work, soldier!

Let's see, after we have fun at the casino, we'll stop by the bar

get a little tipsy, and go to the hot springs.

Then put the two little kids to bed, so Seiya and I can...

Who cares? After all, Valkyrie did it, too!

Hello! Seiya, sorry to keep you! Come on, let's party!

Huh?

Maybe he's still out shopping.

But we did agree on sundown, right?

The sun is about to set, and Seiya struck me as a stickler for punctuality.

Hmm, maybe he's just caught up in his shopping.

Master is a perfectionist, and all.

Yeah, that's true, isn't it?

An hour went by, but no matter how long we waited, the hero did not return.

Huh? He hasn't been here?

Mm-hmm, that man you were with before, right?

I haven't seen him today, lady who got beaten by medicinal herbs.

That's going too far!

But Seiya said he was going to buy ingredients for Synthesis today.

Could he have gone to a different item shop?

Say, are there other item and weapons shops in Orphée?

Yeah, there are a few others.

A handsome man? No, he wasn't here.

Nobody like that came here.

I haven't had any customers today!

Seiya hasn't come back here, either.

No one else in the castle has seen him, either.

Where in the world did he go?

You don't think Seiya went to fight the Demon Lord alone, do you?

Huh? No, that's out of the question.

There's no way that heap of cautiousness would do that.

He just barely beat the Warmaster and said he needed to reflect on that, right?

Yeah, and he mentioned training, too.

Also, the Demon Lord has Chain Destruction.

If he loses, he really is dead.

I'm sure he's just cautiously preparing himself more than ever.

Then where exactly is Seiya?

I don't know. I just don't know!

At this point, I have to rely on my last resort.

Pardon me!

Huh?

Aria? What are you doing here? Where is Ishtar?

Seiya has suddenly disappeared, and I need to have him found quickly...

A-Aria...?

Come with me.

Ishtar is expecting us.

This is the room where time stands still.

Rista, thank you for coming.

As well as the two dragonkin.

This is a place where ordinarily, you would not be permitted to enter

but I'm granting special permission.

These are the true souls of the gods?

Rista, I know what you want to ask me.

Let me come right to the point.

As soon as Seiya Ryuuguuin parted ways with you

he headed to the Demon Lord's castle alone.

I can't believe that.

How could that cautious hero confront the Demon Lord without training?

With Chain Destruction, Seiya's soul could be destroyed! And yet--

Yes, Rista. Your soul would be destroyed, as well.

Seiya Ryuuguuin knows that there is a chance of the Demon Lord killing you.

That is why he went alone.

Huh?

Are you saying that Seiya went to fight the Demon Lord to save me?

That could never happen.

I mean, Seiya is always putting me down and doesn't see me as a goddess.

He is sharp-tongued and has an ill-mannered demeanor.

But Seiya Ryuuguuin is still a kindly young man.

Ever since he was summoned as a hero

saving his friends has been at the forefront of his mind.

Th-That's not true... It's not true.

Master thinks that of us?

Mash, Elulu

the reason Seiya Ryuuguuin initially rejected your partying with him

was solely because he did not want to lose any comrades.

He treated you with cold detachment

and kept you away from fighting for the same reason.

In some cases, he was more concerned about his friends

than he was about saving Gaeabrande.

That's why he rescued you, Mash, from being killed

and saved you, Elulu, in Dragon Village.

Not to mention disregarding the risk of his own soul being destroyed

to protect you, Rista, from the Warmaster.

I don't buy it. If that were true

he could have taken us with him here to the Divine Realm.

Then he could have trained, like usual--

There would be no point in any further training.

Because there aren't any stronger goddesses than Valkyrie, you mean?

Still, if he took some time to raise his level some more--

Rista

you could not see Seiya Ryuuguuin's stats due to his extreme Fake Out skill.

Let me now show you what they are.

B-But these...

"Seiya Ryuuguuin" B-But these...

"Seiya Ryuuguuin" ...are already maxed out?

"Seiya Ryuuguuin" Correct. He has already reached his maximum level.

Correct. He has already reached his maximum level.

Incidentally, these are the stats from when he fought in Dragon Village.

His skill ratings have not increased at all since then.

That long ago?

This is evidenced by the fact that he attempted to compensate for his ratings

by learning special skills such as Shining Arrow and the Valkyrjas.

He felt distressed, in his own way.

But he never said a thing about...

Saying anything would not have changed the situation.

He decided that it would be pointless to worry you unnecessarily.

He can't...

He can't!

With his stats, he can't beat a difficulty-S Demon Lord!

B-But Master has Igzasion! With his Valkyrjas and the sacred sword...

You're wrong.

The Igzasion he has is a fake.

A fake? Didn't he Synthesize it using Leviae and Elulu's blood?

The sword he got was not Igzasion.

It was a fabrication to keep you from being concerned.

--Seriously? --Oh, no...

His skills have already stopped growing.

He has neither the sword nor the armor to defeat the Demon Lord.

That is why he learned Valkyrie's Valkyrja skills

which strikes down the enemy in exchange for one's own life--

the absolutely inescapable Valkyrja Gate of Valhalla.

Oh, no! Valkyrie said she would never teach that to him!

Rista, you witnessed their destruction aura investiture ceremony, right?

That was a rite to confer the Gate of Valhalla to him?

Seiya Ryuuguuin's willingness to risk his life to save a world

was enough to touch even Valkyrie, and she taught him her Omega Valkyrja.

--Why?! How come?! --Rista!

If a human uses Gate of Valhalla, he will definitely die!

Even so, he went off to the Demon Lord's castle.

To once and for all protect what he could not--

the specter of a past for which he could never find redemption.

I don't get it. I don't get it. I don't understand what you mean! Why?!

Why exactly is he trying to protect us?

To answer your question, there is something that I must ask you, as well.

Ristarte the Goddess, do you have the courage to learn the truth?

He really doesn't listen to a thing anyone says!

He's beyond impossible!

It's so like him, isn't it?

Colt! This is no laughing matter!

Oh, I'm sure things will work out, Tiana. Everything else has so far.

Not you, too, Aria.

You shouldn't indulge such a reckless hero.

Oh, don't let it bother you so much.

I-Is that you, Aria?

Yes. That was me, 100 years ago.

And what you're seeing there

is the salvation difficultly level B world Ixphoria.

Ixphoria?

S-Seiya?

All right, let's get a move on and take down Chimera.

Listen, Seiya, it's too soon. Chimera's level is higher than ours.

Maybe we should train some more first.

Time is wasting. Fighting him now would be quicker.

Besides, I have a strategy.

Tell us what this strategy is.

Mm-hmm. My strategy...

...is to do our best. That's it.

Gah! What are you, a child? That isn't a strategy!

I'm telling you, we need to get ourselves ready before we go!

"Gonna be okay." Something will work out.

Look, I have no idea what you're talking about.

H-Hold on a minute! Seiya! Hey, Seiya! Seiya, come on!

Seiya Ryuuguuin started out as the hero I summoned to take control of Ixphoria.

No way. I mean, I haven't heard a peep about this before.

The mage in the robes is Colt. And...

...the girl is Princess Tiana. Princess of Ixphoria and our party's healer.

She joined up with Seiya along the way to put down the Demon Lord.

Colt, some wind magic!

Right! On it!

I'll find an opening and settle this lickety-split!

Colt!

Tiana, heal me!

--Take it easy. I'll heal you right now. --Wait! Heal Seiya before you do Colt!

He only has two HP left!

Two?! Are you kidding me?! Wah!

He has a big hole in his chest!

No, I'll be fine. Strangely enough, it doesn't even hurt.

In fact, it feels good. I'm fading in and out, almost like I was dreaming.

That means you're about to die!

This is so messed up. It's unthinkable that he's our current Seiya.

Yes. But even like that, we managed to make it through.

Well, would you look at that! We won!

Why don't you look?!

We're all in rough shape!

Maybe so, but we won. Good on us, right?

Nothing good about it!

Colt's even had his leg torn off!

Tiana, hurry up and heal me...

All right, let's get going and tackle that golem.

Hey! I just told you, Colt's leg has been torn off!

Is that really Master?

He reminds me of Rosalie.

This is how Seiya used to be.

He used to hate having to level. He just wanted to keep going forward.

Even so, Seiya had an innate gift when it came to fighting.

Despite being at a lower level than an opponent and not being prepared

he could somehow defeat the enemy. So none of us were that worried.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Unlike the Seiya we know

he shared the joy of securing victory in tough battles with his friends.

We all relied on Seiya

and Seiya relied on all of us, too.

Seiya...

All that's left now is the Demon Lord, huh?

Yeah. We leave tomorrow morning. You should get to sleep.

I'm way too nervous to sleep.

Say, are you sure we don't need to go to the sage's village?

We already have the weapon we need to defeat the Demon Lord.

There's no need to go to some faraway village.

But Aria says that we can get more information about the Demon Lord there.

Tiana, I want to defeat the Demon Lord as soon as possible.

You've been like this ever since I met you, huh?

You never train or get ready for anything.

Is today the day you're going to tell me why you're in such a rush?

It's like I always say, there's no special reason.

Jeez, every time I ask you, that's all you ever say!

Tomorrow will be the last day of our journey! So please, tell me.

The longer we go without killing the Demon Lord

the longer the suffering of this world's people goes on.

That's why I keep moving forward.

Oh, so that's why you do it.

Tiana, it's because of your healing magic that I managed to make it this far.

I'm sorry for always putting you out.

Th-That's okay. I'm sure things will work out this time, too.

So go ahead and say what you always say.

I feel relieved when I hear you say it.

Gonna be okay.

Something will work out.

Yes!

Seiya!

You did it, Seiya!

I-Is he really...?

The Demon Lord's HP is zero! He's been defeated!

Th-Thank goodness.

Didn't I tell you? "Gonna be okay." Something will work out.

Jeez, what are you talking about? You didn't have to cut it so close!

That's for sure. My MP is at zero.

Really. I'm a goddess, and I'm nearly dead, too.

It can't be... I'm sure the Demon Lord was dead!

Aria!

I have two lives! I may have lost one, but I still have one left!

How can this be? If only we'd asked at the sage's village...

Run, Seiya and Tiana! We can't win!

That's a goddess for you.

All those nutrients have completely regenerated me.

Tiana, can you still use your restoration magic?

I-I'm sorry. All my magic is gone...

You have nothing to apologize for.

Seiya...

You were right; we should have prepared ourselves in full.

Run!

I'll kill this woman first!

S-Stop! Please, don't do it!

T-Tiana...

Seiya...

Hmm? What's this?

There's a faint life sign coming from inside the woman's belly.

So that's it. This is your kid, is it?

All right, I think I'll rip it out of her belly and devour it first.

Mother and child can be the offering that inaugurates

the new world that is about to begin.

Stop!

Please... I beg you... I'm begging you...

Don't do it!!

Let's end it right there.

It wasn't Seiya's fault.

I'm responsible.

If we'd gone to the sage's village and learned the Demon Lord's secret...

Not doing so was a failure on my part as supervising goddess...

H-Hey, Rista...

Rista!

Have the memories remaining deep in your soul reemerged, Ristarte?

Princess Tiana, that girl who Seiya Ryuuguuin was unable to save

was you, before you were reborn as a goddess.

Thanks to the earnest wish of Aria next to you

and the good deeds that Princess Tiana performed during her life

you were reborn as a goddess after you died.

It was no coincidence that you chose him to take control of Gaeabrande.

Fate must have drawn you back together again.

Of course, as with you, Seiya Ryuuguuin does not remember that past.

But even so, his regret from that moment was etched deep into his soul.

Then, when he was summoned as a hero, those impressions emerged...

...in the form of a word.

What word?

Do you remember when he said the word "Properties"?

Properties.

I-I thought that was just sarcasm.

He was probably unaware of it himself, but this...

...is the image that he saw.

Does that mean...?

He is a bright boy. From this one passage recorded here

he was aware that he had been summoned before and that it had ended in failure.

I have to go.

Rista, what are you doing?!

That should be obvious! I'm going back to Seiya!

Stop! Don't go!

I don't want to lose you again...

Aria, I'm grateful for all that you've done for me.

But I have to go.

Rista...

After all, Seiya is someone very precious to me.

Now that the Demon Lord has acquired the power to kill deities

I would not fault you for giving up.

In fact, I recommend that you do give up.

That is what Seiya Ryuuguuin himself wanted. Will you still go anyway?

Yes, I will. Of course I will!

You have opened a gateway into the heart of the Demon Lord's castle

where the final showdown will take place.

This far oversteps your bounds in your role of support goddess.

I don't care. I'll accept any punishment for this later on.

--Rista! --Rista!

There's no need for you two to die, too.

If you want to return to Gaeabrande, have Ishtar send you back later.

Don't be ridiculous!

We're coming, too!

Mash and I were both rescued by Seiya!

So we have to go, too!

Oh, you two...

It looks as though there is no stopping you.

No.

Ristarte, do be careful.

Thank you very much.

I'm coming, Seiya.

I may not be a whole lot of help

but we're friends.

"Be cautiously, cautiously cautious. You may be alienated or reviled, but hold fast." but we're friends.

"Be cautiously, cautiously cautious. You may be alienated or reviled, but hold fast." I'm not about to let you die all by yourself.

"Be cautiously, cautiously cautious. You may be alienated or reviled, but hold fast."

"Make sure to save the world, your friends, and the one you love."

"This time for sure"
