Prologue
“Are you really going to leave?”
In front of me, there was a gate of light that shone faintly.
“Azami-san, at the very least, once you go back to the kingdom…”
With her long golden hair that reaches her waist, and her eyes that match the color of her hair shaking slightly, the half-elf saint Iris put her hand on her chest and said to me in a trembling voice.
We’re at Toral Hill in the holy city of Anthem.
On my side, a girl with messy red hair, the hero Lindow is standing with her fists clenched as if she wanted to say something, and a dark elf, the great sage Lobelia, is glancing at me while twirling with her long, silvery hair with her fingers.
It’s been three years since I, Yanagi Azami, was summoned to this place from another world, and after a long journey, my hero party has defeated the Demon King.
If the Demon King is eliminated from this world, the gate to return to the other world can be opened again. I don’t know how it works, but I’ve met the conditions and I’m about to return to the world I came from.
“The royalty and nobles are a pain in the ass, so I’ll just go back to my world right now.”
“That’s….”
I answered bluntly to Iris.
“I’m not a resident of this world to begin with. I’m sure they’ll be glad to have one less person to reward.”
Besides… Since I came to this world, I’ve been exposed to a lot of malice. Despite the fact that we all share the common goal of defeating the Demon King, there have been many troublesome incidents along the way, such as interference from the same race and so on.
“Hey Iris, Lindow, Lobelia. I’d like to tell you in advance that I like you guys. But, you know what, I’m sick of this world.”
“Azami-san…”
Lindow stepped forward and turned her sad eyes to me.
“The Demon King has indeed been defeated. I think they’ll have a big party when you return to the kingdom. There will be peace for a while. But I don’t think it’s going to be a happy ending there. What do you think will happen after that?”
“There will be reconstruction work in the devastated areas…”
“…War.”
Blocking Iris’s carefree answer, Lobelia brushed back her long silver hair that was hanging down in front of her and said that.
“The Demon King has been defeated. Now that the Demon King has been defeated, there will be a war between the races.”
I smiled wryly at her answer.
“If the Great Sage Lobelia-sama thinks so, then I guess I’m not imagining things all by myself.”
“What do you mean by ‘sama’?”
Lobelia huffed and crossed her arms.
“When the war begins, our power will be relied upon. The power we wielded to defeat the Demon King would be used to slaughter our own kind.”
“I’m not going to help them with that!”
“Neither will I!”
Lindow, Iris. Even if you think so, it’s not that easy. So what happens if you refuse to do that?”
“A hero will not lend her power to the kingdom for war. But for the kingdom, there is no guarantee that you will not lend your power to the empire or any other country.”
Lobelia calmly replied to their objections.
“That’ s right. For the kingdom and other countries, we are in many ways a force to be reckoned with.”
“…..”
“Well, there’s always the possibility that this is just a bad fantasy and the reality is just a happy ending. But be careful, everyone. Lobelia, take care of them.”
Finally, I smiled at the two who had fallen silent, and asked Lobelia, the most intelligent of the three, to take care of the situation.
“It sounded like you weren’t even worried about me, huh?”
“Not at all. We’re all just kids to you.”
I spoke lightly and looked at the gate of the other world. I spent three years here, but apparently not much time has passed in my world since I came to this world because time flows differently.
“Azami-san… In the end, I couldn’t defeat you even once in swordsmanship. I think that without you, I would have never been able to defeat the Demon King.”
“If I, a class with only a sword as its forte, were to lose in swordsmanship, there would be no place for me to stand anymore, so please forgive me. As for defeating the Demon King, you might have been able to do something about it.”
“That’s… and it’s always you who’s been there for me when I’m being naive. Thank you very much.”
“There’s nothing wrong with being naive, but don’t let your guard down when your life depends on it.”
“Yes!”
Lindo. A hero of the human race who has the blood of the hero and received a gifted education in the kingdom.
“So this really is goodbye, isn’t it?”
“If we’re still alive, we might meet again someday, and if we both die, we might meet in the afterlife.”
“Geez… But you’re right, I’d be happy to see you again. I really want you to stay here, but…”
“Don’t say that, it’ll make it difficult for me to go. Iris is as kind as ever, even to this old man.”
“No, you’re not an old man!”
“It’s wonderful that you’re so kind, keep it up. But don’t fall for the bad guys.”
“I won’t! It’s just… umm…”
Iris. She is a half-elf saint who was born with a powerful healing power inside her and is the saint of the largest religion in the kingdom.
“I’m sure you’ll be fine, but I hope you’re doing well over there too.”
“And Lobelia, take care of yourself. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.”
“It’s mutual. I’ve noticed that you’ve been treating me like a child. How many times do you think I’m older than you?”
“That’s how much I care about you.”
“Bah… If that’s what you think, then… no, that’s fine.”
Lobelia. She’s a dark elf who lives alone in the depths of the great forest, studying magic.
Everyone is an important friend to me. But, would it be too selfish of me to go back to the world I came from?
“…Lindow.”
As if to squelch that guilty feeling, I tossed the sword hanging from my waist to Lindow.
“Azami-san, what’s this?”
“There is no guarantee that the time will not come when you will need it, please accept it as a parting gift. Unfortunately, the world I’m going back to is a peaceful world where there’s no need to use such a thing.”
“Thank you… I will treasure it.”
If I bring it back to Japan and the police find it by any chance, I’ll be in trouble.
Next to Lindow, who grasps the sword as if to suppress her emotions, is Iris, who looked at me with expectant eyes.
“Iris wants something too. Please give me something as well. Ah, I think I’d like something you brought from the other world.”
“What do you mean by something…”
Lobelia also understood Iris’s meaning and so I ended up giving Iris a cheap watch and Lobelia a tie and a necktie pin.
“Is this what you want?”
“Yes! I’m so happy! I’ll cherish it forever!”
“Yeah, it’s enough.”
“That’s good then… Well, I’d better be going.”
I took a step towards the gate.
As soon as I pass through this gate, I would have to say goodbye to this world and to these three people.
“Azami-san.”
“Sigh… Uh…”
“Let’s meet again when we can.”
I responded to the three different voices by raising my hand lightly with my back to them.
“I hope you’re all doing well.”
I felt like I would miss them if I saw their faces. I continued on my way and was enveloped in a pale light.
