*Gasp* *gasp* *gasp*

......

We...beat it?!

...yeah, looks like it! We did it, Seria!

Pheeeeeeeeeeeew...

Wh-What's wrong?

The usual Seria would be more like...like...

...or something like that, I think.

Just what image do you have of me in that empty head of yours...?

......

Anyway, after defeating Algmos...

...I thought I'd be a bit happier than this too.

But, more than feeling happiness about my victory...

...I'm just glad we were all able to get out alive and well after battling such a powerful demon.

Wh-What's with the face? Hans!

Fine! You want me to celebrate for real?!

......

...Hehehe.

...Hahaha.

Yeah, I guess this style does suit me a bit better.

I'm so happy for you, Seria!

But I have to get going now.

Huh? You're leaving so soon?

Yeah.

Actually, I originally came here to do some research on Karl's origins, so...

I'll see you guys later! Bye-bye Hans and Seria!

Let's work together to defeat the last Fallen God...

...Afla Dilith!

And Seria!

I'm really, truly happy for you!

Tilith...

Thanks...

Seria!

Karl?!

I heard that you came here after Algmos, so I rushed over, but...

It looks like you didn't need my help after all.

Yeah, Tilith helped...

And Hans helped a little, too.

Well, when you have Hans and the Goddess by your side, there really isn't anything to worry about.

Though I must admit that when I heard you had come after the demon by yourself, I was pretty shocked.

Hans!

Algmos's presence has disappeared! Does that mean you defeated it?!

And what about Seria?!

Is Seria okay?!

Lin, I'm fine.

Sorry to have worried you.

Thank goodness...

You're safe and sound!

...but you know, I'm a tad bit angry.

Because I wasn't the only one who was worried about you.

All of the other Summoners who were initially ordered to slay Algmos...

...all of them were worried about you too, Seria!

...I'm sorry.

I'm going to report everything to Lord Grahdens, and see that he's very strict with your punishment!

Ugh...

Haha. You had it coming, you know.

*Sigh*

Hans.

You strayed pretty far from the original "Bring Back Seria" mission too...

But since Algmos was the source of trouble for the region this time around, everything's A-okay!

Consider your mission successfully completed.

Thank you for agreeing to take on this mission so suddenly too!

Well then, we'll be looking forward to your return!

Well, I know it's been kinda short, but I guess I should get going too.

By the way, what was the Goddess doing around these parts?

Karl, it looks like she was looking into your origins.

What? But I told her I didn't care.

Well, that's one of her good points, I guess.

All right then, Hans.

I'm leaving Seria in your hands!

Who are you leaving in who's hands?!

Geesh...

......

Well, umm...

I should thank you for your help with all this too.

Wh-What?!

I can reflect on stuff too, you know!

I'm just thinking about what Tilith said.

"I know the past is important, but...don't forget that there are plenty of people who worry about you here in the present."

She's absolutely right.

*Sigh*

How depressing...

To think that not only did I worry Tilith, but you too...

Hehe, but I guess it's not so bad to be cared about.

Right, Hans?

I wonder if I've changed a bit...

......

It was a rhetorical question! Why did you actually try to answer it?!

Dummy!

Haha. I'm just teasing you!

Because you really are a big dummy...

But maybe it's because I was with dummies like you guys that I was finally able to let go of the past...
