I expected nothing less from the strongest Summoner in all the land.

Nozomi, did you happen to feel Shesha's power at all?

Yes, I did.

But it felt pretty weak compared to when we fought it before...

I didn't experience the overwhelming fear I did last time.

I wonder why...

Hmm... I wonder if there is more to this problem...

But let's think about that later.

Job well done, Hans.

I was even able to enjoy myself thanks to you.

Nozomi, Hans here may not be much of a talker...

...but I promise you no one fights better.

You see, this is because Hans always fights for the sake of others.

For the sake of others...?

Whether it is for friends or loved ones...

...one should always fight for those we hold most dear.

And this time, Hans was fighting for you and Asahi.

You could call it Hans's own style of fighting.

Yes. I got that same feeling when we were fighting together...

But, even so...

Well, of course.

It would never be an easy thing to declare war against the gods to fight for those whom you care about.

Still, that is the path that Hans has chosen to follow.

......

Ho ho ho.

This must seem like the obvious choice to a simple person like yourself though, am I right Hans?

It sure seems so.

But I also feel foolish for overthinking things from time to time.

Now I understand why so many people believe in you.

It's because you don't fight for yourself, but for the sake of others.

You helped remind me of how wonderful that is.

It would seem they have accomplished their task as well.

Asahi! I'm so glad you're okay!

It looks like you were also able to beat the demon without problems!

But get this!

Karl and Seria are ridiculously strong!

I want to become as strong as both of them!

Hehe. You should! We can't afford to be left behind.

Hey Hans.

I was pretty sure you'd be all right as long as you were with Gramps, but I'm glad to see you beat that thing.

Well, if we're after the last of the Fallen Gods...

...then Hans better not be struggling with puny demons like these!

Ho ho ho. I am glad to see everyone safe and sound.

But more importantly, Asahi, Nozomi...

I think my prediction was right.

Whoa! A gate is opening!

Asahi, Nozomi, if you cross this gate...

...you will be able to return to your world. Are you ready?

Huh? Is it all supposed to happen this fast?

I'm afraid this gate has opened thanks to some very specific circumstances. We can't be sure of how long it will remain open.

I think it would be for the best if you left as soon as possible.

All right then!

Karl, Seria, Lord Grahdens, and you too Hans...

We were together for just a little while, but I will never forget any of you!

I'm gonna brag about fighting with you guys to my friend back home!

......

All right, here I go!

Bye guys!

Karl, Seria, Lord Grahdens, and Hans...

Thank you for everything.

We would have never been able to get back had it not been for your help.

From now on all the fairies will know about the amazing Summoner from another world!

Hans...

...I'm sure you will keep fighting for the sake of others.

But please remember this.

You have the power to change the world.

So you should stop to think about that sometime...

...and figure out what it is you really want to do with your life.

Hehe. I think I may have just asked a bit too much of you again.

I do hope to meet you again sometime though. Good bye...

...... There they go.

Yep. Those two were something else.

Holding on to hope in such a hopeless situation...

We could learn a thing or two from them.

For sure...

And with that, our mission has been accomplished. We should also make our way back to Elgaia.

Hey, you two wait up! Aren't you forgetting someone?!

Huh? Wh-What is that thing?!

Huh? You can actually see me?

Well, that doesn't matter right now!

Just don't close that gate yet! I want to go back home as well!

What on earth was that? It wasn't a person...but then...

W-Well, it sounded like that thing knew Asahi and Nozomi...

...so it should be okay, right?

I hope...

L-Listen Hans...

...do try to remember Nozomi's words.

Whether you wish it or not...

...the choices you make have the power to change the world.
