Alright everyone, welcome back to the next Chapter for 'Daylight's End'! It makes me happy to see that people actually have interest in reading this, even though it's-

Hana: "A pretty bad fanfiction with grammatical errors?"

Sietta: "Your first (and so far only) fanfiction ever written?"

Yorc: "…So far…only made up of us (the OC's)?"

Trecht: "Lacking quality-"

OKAY! I think the audience got it already! Could you stop joking now!?

Everyone: *Shrugs*

*Inhale*…*Exhale* Thank you. Now! Before we roll to the disclaimer and skip the "Reviews' Corner" (And yes, I just called it that. If you have a better title for that part, feel free to write me your ideas!) I'd like to tell you that right now, I am having my summer-break. While it's keeping up, I am able to write the individual Chapters for this story at a pretty fast pace.

Yorc: "…So if you're back in school…there'll be less content?"

Bingo! And I'll say this in advance to avoid a situation similar as last time which I am still sorry for. If you're not aware of what actually happened, just read 'Chapter 6: A Watcher's Challenge' (No, I'm not doing this to gain extra views or etc. but I don't feel like repeating it once again. Sorry!)

Trecht: "Okay, I think we got it already. Could you stop apologizing, kid?"

…

Everyone else: "…"

…Well played.

Trecht: *Bows* "At your service~." *Smirks*

Hana: "Alright! So, since we got no new reviews, we'll skip that part entirely, so the only thing left to do is the disclaimer!"

Sietta: "Hmmm…Yorc! You think you can do the disclaimer for us, because MrFiretank seems pretty out of it."

*Sulks in corner* …What did I do to deserve this…?

Everyone else: *Raises eyebrow*

Hana: "Yea, he's done for this one."

Yorc: *Sigh* *Nods* *Turns to the audience and stares* "…He only owns his OCs…and 'Daylight's End…"

Hana: "Good, about time! Now that we're done, I'll have a little shopping trip for now! Fire, you come with me~!" *Grabs Fire by his cloak's hood*

…Roll the…next Chapter…*Sulks*

…

CHAPTER 8 – MANY WAYS, OUR'S AHEAD

After me and Yorc got into the Infirmary, we got checked by a pair of doctors. They actually were father and son and treated quite a lot of patients together for over a decade. We both ate properly, because our battle ended during afternoon, and I had to hand to them. For being a trading village, the cuisine of Loeyur left no preferences ignored! 'This was the best steak I ate in my…both of my entire lives.'

Once we finished, two of the village-watchers took our plates and cutlery to…somewhere, before starting with our medical conditions (finally). Since Yorc sustained the most injuries, he got treated first. During this, his son was taking a better look at my "injuries".

The dude itself didn't look older than 20 and had the looks of a teen idol. He had pretty clean, moss-green…hair? Yea, its anime logic, don't request it. He also wore a grey shirt and brown jeans under a doctor's coat with a pair of rather stylish glasses hanging from his breast pocket.

"Well…" *Writes notes* "You didn't sustain any real physical injuries, besides some minor bruises that formed on your forearms and one on your forehead. Luckily you didn't suffer from a concussion afterwards. But there is something more worrying…"

'Uh oh.' I wasn't a real doctor of course or never had a first aid course, but even someone as young as me could tell that there's trouble if it doesn't involve my physical condition.

"Before I tell you what's wrong, I'd like to ask you a small question. Do you have some experience with the usage of your own magic? Or to phrase it different…Since when did you start using it?" Yep, this bad! Nobody knew of my first life or of who I was before I arrived in Earth Land, and now there was this random doctor who suddenly got a clue to probably the biggest secret I keep!? Defiantly screwed!

'I need to think of an excuse, something! I can't use the 'I have amnesia' excuse, since this one is literally abused by everyone! Uhm…maybe I can stay vague, so they don't find out more about me for now!'

"Uhm, I...haven't used my magic for…a while. As you can see, I use…my boots! Yes, m-my boots for magic! B-but I bought them not too long ago…y-yeah."

That caused the doctor to raise a non-existing eyebrow at my not-so-solid answer, but he seemed to accept it, as he didn't pry more about it. 'Crisis averted! Phew.'

"Okay…? Well, the problem is this. Even though your magical abilities were impressive on themselves, according to Major Lindheim-" I'll take that as compliment. "-your magic capacity seems to not match your current age. That resulted in you burning up almost all of your magic inside you. Are you aware of the symptoms from total magic exhaustion, perhaps?"

I never knew the detailed results of draining your entire magic pool at once, but given this guy's grim expression and deep tone of this subject, I should be glad to not have reached this point…

"Well, I'm glad that you're here now. Besides, even with you having no energy left at this moment there is a benefit from this situation." Wait, there actually is another one? "Since your reserves have been drained to almost zero, they'll start to refill over the course of time. Given the proper rest, that is. Now, since they are so small at this point, they'll not only grow by each passing hour while recharging, but you'll also regenerate your magic at a faster rate in the future. Not by much, but every bit helps." Well, that information will defiantly prove as helpful! So besides training my magical capacity over meditating, I can get stronger by doing abnormal things all day? Awesome…

While I was lost in my own thoughts, I missed how Yorc (who now had a bandage around his right arm where I injured him and sported a miniscule scar on said side's cheek) and the doctor's father walked back into where I was stationed at.

"Don't forget Yorc! Stay in bed for today and don't strain your arms too much. Doctor's orders." The pretty old man wore the exact same clothes as his son, but there were a few differences besides age. His glasses were on his nose while he was also…bald. 'It really looks like…a bowling ball. Childhood cartoons, you didn't left me hanging for this one, huh?' He also sported a fine looking goatee, which actually went down to mid-waist, which was impressive on itself.

"…I will. Thank you…" Yorc walked to the other only free bed beside me while silently greeting me with a small nod and laid his sword (sheath included) besides the edge of his bed, before proceeding to take a nap for now. It was a funny sight, actually. One of the strongest fighters of this town that speaks close to nothing outside of the heat of battle just dozes of like a 4-year old. I wanted to take a picture of this with my phone, but now was not the time since the older of the two doctors called me to his room.

"You're up, Jessica. Now, don't forget about what we just talked. I'd suggest that you train with your magic at a steady pace, or else you'll be worse for wear in the next real fight." The younger doctor stood up from his tiny stool beside my bed while walking to the Infirmary's exit. 'Seems like he had plans before we two showed up.'

With attention now on me, I got out of my temporary bed and walked to the other doctor for a quick look at my bruises. And afterwards…I think I'll just…*yawn*…sleep.

(For more Intensity, play from 'Johnny Mercer & Joseph Kosma – AUTUMN LEAVES')

After the big spontaneous celebration most of the guests in 'Heaven Bar' either left, decided to sleep on their seat or just collapsed due to getting drunk. Currently it was deadly silent, besides two entities at the front of the bar itself. One of them being Hana herself, who was ranting to the owner of the bar.

The man sported a grey waistcoat with a white shirt, black pants and…red colored, heart-shaped glasses with crimson hair. He was currently watching a random show on the bar's small television, which was fixed on the ceiling. But he still listened intently to his favorite customer.

"I mean, he always sits in his office, filling out those stupid forms while I try to brighten his day! I just wished that 'G' would sometimes take a day or two off for leisure…but no! He always says to me 'Hana, if you aren't ready to do your amount of work yourself then one of us has to do it.' I mean yeah, I get it! But he isn't forced to do this stuff for me!"

During her small speech, the door of the local opened, and in came the probably rarest customer of this place. He sat down besides Hana on the bar stool to her right while looking to the bartender.

"One scotch, on the rocks. And another beer for her." The customer was no other than 'G' himself, who gave a silent stare to the man in front of him that said more then enough. The bartender received his silent message, so he served both of them their drinks, before walking closer to his television while turning up the volume so the both of them had their privacy.

Hana, who already calmed down after seeing her boss / friend sitting beside her took the beer while speaking up. "Well, why are you buying me this? You're not trying to hit on me, eh 'G'~?

Said man already felt a migraine coming, so he rested his head in his left hand after taking a sip from the precious whisky. "No…nothing like that." After he sighed he elaborated, seeing as his close colleague had no idea of that friendly turn. "But I have a feeling that I'd get a free day from your antics for that."

The guardian angel could relate with him, actually. She was always energetic and tried to speak with every person, but often failed when attempting to turn his bossy friend's frown upside-down. On rare occasions he would crack a smile, and when that happened…

Well, let's just say that Hana was known as a regular customer in 'Heaven Bar' after the first time it happened.

Both of these entities sat in comfortable silence, which was broken when Hana tried to break the ice about today's events. "Well, since you're here, I guess you already heard about what Jessie did down there?"

Her friend nodded before giving his own thoughts. "I must say, for living such a…common life for over a decade she surely had more skill hidden in her than I expected. I think we made the right decision with sending her into that world."

The strawberry-blond could only give a lopsided smile, which turned ever so slightly into a frown when she was thinking of…'G's…visitor. The man involved only noticed her happy façade slowly crumbling down, so he tried to elaborate about the situation.

"If you're thinking about what happened today, then don't worry. I managed to turn the tides and win our bet. Sadly, he is as mischievous as he is smart. He dodged my question, so we're only left with a vague guess of what he wants from her."

(Pause 'Johnny Mercer & Joseph Kosma – AUTUMN LEAVES' if you've played it)

The two most powerful beings sat before one another while staring at the result of their game. The chairman of Heaven had his queen, two rooks, one knight and his king left. Lucifer on the other hand…

"…Well, you certainly don't disappoint, Garrison." He was down to only one bishop and his own king, who was in a very indelicate position. It was trapped between the two rooks, and given that 'G's own queen was left on the field…

"…Checkmate." It didn't take the chairman long, before he put the final nail on the coffin. It surprised him that his enemy didn't try to cheat on a bigger scale…he knew that Lucifer was capable of doing this. But that didn't matter at this point. Now he could finally release a small gasp of relief. 'That took too much from my nerves. Luckily that means he won't show up for a while after this."

Hell's ruler silently stood up, dusted of his jacket and faked a smile to his arch-nemesis, before turning around in an attempt to leave as fast as possible. He spoke up while retreating, but 'G' had another thought in mind. "This was certainly a…surprising game Garrison. Until our next-"

"Wait."

Without turning around, Lucifer stopped just before he was ready to travel back into his own realm. Even without his facial expression visible, you could see that he was starting to become frustrated. "What is it that you still want to bore me with, Garrison?"

'G' was done playing around…he won their bet, so he wanted to claim his winnings on the spot. "We had our bet…remember? So I'd like to at least have that."

Since his rival stood silently on the spot, he took this as a sign to continue. And there was only one question bugging him at this point:

"…What do you want with the reincarnated girl?"

Given the questions' short nature, Lucifer could have just said 'something...'. But…he didn't feel like being such a huge trickster. He respected his…'entertainment partner' to an extent. So he decided, that he'd give the winner the prize he at least wished for.

With that decided, he started answering while resuming to walk forward. "That girl…certainly peeks my interest. We both know that you don't just allow anybody a second chance. Thus she must be…special. I don't care whatever she did before this…but you always spot someone's potential if they possess it."

Just before he warped back, he turned towards the confused chairman once again, as he finished his answer while sporting a shit-eating grin that would have made a certain demon-butler proud. "For now, nothing in particular. I'll hold my curiosity back…until things get more…worthwhile. Until next time, Garrison~."

(For more Intensity, resume playing from 'Johnny Mercer & Joseph Kosma – AUTUMN LEAVES')

"Dammit, just when you had him…well, at least you'll have some peace for now on! And don't worry…I'll let you have a free day from myself! But don't expect afterwards to stay in your office alone all day like a nerd~!"

The exhausted head of heaven turned his head way in thought…but he tried to fight the urge to crack a small smile. Mind you, when he smiled most of the time, it was a faked one for acquaintances and associates, but very rarely he would cave in and just smile. And the only one who always managed to do so was no other than the guardian angel besides him.

'Damn…I'm growing sentimental because of her…' After his inner turmoil settled down, he saw Hana standing up and stretching while smiling brightly.

"Well, since I can't bug you tomorrow, I guess I'll hit the hay early so I can visit some friends of mine. Basically speaking, everybody else! Alright then, have a good night 'G' and don't do anything stupid tomorrow, I'll know about that faster than the archangels can fly~!" With that, she walked towards the exit while giving a lazy wave over her head.

'G' was looking at probably his (and he didn't want to admit this) only true friend in heaven walking away. While trailing down this special lane of thoughts, he gave up on resisting. His face now sported a small smile after taking another sip from his scotch.

'Maybe…*sigh*…maybe I should do her something nice, besides cleaning up behind her messes…' He looked at his watch to realize that it was almost past midnight.

'Well, the bar was opened until 3 AM anyways…I might as well enjoy the silence while it lasts…' He would have usually stayed in his office for that…but…it wasn't the same as there…something was missing.

'Oh Hana…I'm really growing attached to you all, aren't I?'

(Stop playing 'Johnny Mercer & Joseph Kosma – AUTUMN LEAVES' if you've played it)

After a good night of sleep I was currently sitting in the major's office with a cup of warm chocolate in my hands. 'Ahhh…every sip makes me feel calmer than before~!'

Besides the Major himself (who was seated behind his desk) there were also Yorc, Trecht and Sietta who were kept in an important discussion.

"Now that we finally have a general idea of their hideout, we can prepare my carriages for the journey. We'll need one to two days to travel to the marked position anyways." Trecht was the one who spoke the most beside Sietta and Lindheim, while I was just enjoying the chocolate-like goodness of my beverage while Yorc (who seated himself besides me) was just…Yorc as usual. Also, the plan was already discussed by Lindheim and Sietta yesterday while I was resting.

To spare you all the boring details, this is the plan: 'Full Blood' has a hide-out within this region if you go south, to the so called 'Colossus Mountain'. So we (Me, Trecht, Sietta & Yorc plus the village-watchers under their command) will travel to a spot before their position. Then, in the cover of night we'll storm the place and liberate the village for good. Also, if they should have any of the stolen goods left, then we'll carry those back with the help of Trecht's carriages to Loeyur. Once we return, all the stuff will be evenly split between the villagers and anything left will be used for repairs.

When they asked for my share of the recoverable goods, I just politely declined and said: "I don't need anything more! Just get enough for the town so the village is on its own legs again." I gave a nervous chuckle while saying that, so this statement didn't have much influence.

But what was weird though was the stare which Sietta gave me after I tried to hide my own embarrassment. She was the only who wasn't listening to the planning that moment, but it seemed like she was thinking of something. 'Whatever it is, I not sure if she got something good planned'.

Back to the plan! During our ambush, there'll be two teams out of 12 people, while 2 of them take the lead in each team. Sietta and I will lead the front-charge, while Yorc and Trecht will make sure that none of us die out there. 'Not like I had any experience with death…'

"Alright, then we should be ready for our trip as early as possible! Since we don't have much time to waste, we'll start traveling by noon. Any objections?" Since everything was already discussed and that it was Sietta who asked the question…well, everyone stayed as silent as possible. "Good! Then you all have an hour left to prepare from now on! Since Jessica and Yorc are still partially injured-"

'Wait, that's not true! Only Yorc has the mediocre wound on his right arm, I am mostly fine!' If I could have objected right there, I would have. But…just remembering her death stare… *Shudder*

"-they'll rest inside one of the carriages for the first day of traveling until further notice. Any objections this time?" Again, most of us just stayed shut or looked away.

Well, most of us did. Yorc actually had raised his hand, and given the expression on his stare I could tell that he also wasn't too happy about this order. Sietta stared at him, but didn't glare at him. She actually just looked annoyed. That lasted a total of approximately 5 seconds until she caved in.

"Grrrr…fine! You may alongside us if you feel like it, but I'll not carry both of your asses back should you collapse or fall down!" And with that she left the office to prepare our trip with Trecht silently following behind her. Once they were both out and the sound of Sietta throwing the door shut I gave a simple smile towards Yorc, who just shrugged and stood up.

"…I'll get my sword and provisions ready…you should do the same." And with that I was sitting alone in Lindheim's office with the man itself hastily writing down into a notebook.

Since I didn't have much time left and the inn where my bag was stationed at was quite a walk away from here, I planned to walk there before Trecht picks me up and brings me to our meeting point. Just before I was out I heard to pen of Loeyur's major stop moving, and a second after he spoke up.

"Child…" Turning around to look at him directly, I saw him with an honest smile on his face while he was tearing up a bit. Damn, this makes want to cry myself…He quickly wiped away any tears from his eyes with his sleeves before looking at me once again, but this time his smile wasn't sad. It was…full of compassion.

"Please…stay safe on your travels, and come back!" Yea…I teared up that moment, because it reminded me so much of my own father. He would always tear up from joy when I had done something important in my life. This scene just…it was a reminder of my past life. And I wasn't sad about that, because I had a new life, and for all of those that care for me I'll keep living on.

"Don't worry, I will!" To not cause the old man to try cry again, I gave him the brightest smile I could muster while showing him a thumbs-up. The smile wasn't even close to a certain man made out of rubber I knew about, but it fulfilled its purpose nonetheless. When I felt silence come over us again, I turned around to finally get my stuff packed before I forget about that.

So with that thought, I made my way to the inn…and hoped that I wasn't late.

The good part, I wasn't late. The bad part…I took me longer than expected and now I only had 10 minutes left to prepare for a 2-day trip! I was beyond screwed at the moment… 'I have to pack clothes, food, water, and other essentials and find a place to safely hide my money and electronics in!'

While I was walking into my room my eyes noticed that the door was open. So preparing for the worst I gripped the sword in my right hand tighter and quickly walked into the small abode…

…Only to see my savior inside, having placed a knapsack that looked almost full from the outside on my bed while the inn's owner was standing there with an canteen in her hand, who suddenly froze and looked like a dear caught in the headlights when she got spotted.

"D-did you do all of t-this?" Okay, I was used to people being nice to me, but when I saw her discreetly make all of this for me, I couldn't understand HOW I didn't realize it sooner that it was her work! Yea, the embarrassment was written all over my face.

All I received as an answer was a small nod from her. And judging by her current actions, she must have been the same person to silently bring my breakfast yesterday on my side table. Well…there was only one thing I could think off right now.

The old lady was probably surprised, because instead of scolding her like any regular person would have when they'd see you in your 'locked' room, I just went up to her and….hugged her…yeah, I'm a sucker for hugs, don't judge me. "Thank you for your help…you're truly a saint, do you know that?" I honestly meant that, because if it wasn't for her I'd still rush around the town in a poor attempt to get everything necessary packed.

The inn's owner tensed when I hugged her, but after the surprise she relaxed and even hugged me back. I could hear her chuckle while hugging me back. "You know, when that woman with red hair came to my inn and informed me of your travel to 'Full Blood's' hideout, I…I just felt like helping you like this could have been the least of my possibilities. I hope this'll be enough to last for you."

After that sentence I laughed while responding. "For letting me stay in your inn I'm already thankful to you. This…this is so much! I…I don't know how to repay all of you for this much kindness!"

While I tried to let my emotions calm down, the owner just pulled away and put a hand on my shoulder while answering with a worried expression. "Just make sure to not get injured while helping us…everyone here couldn't put it behind themselves if you were to get hurt."

It was understandable. After all, I had everyone's hopes and visions for their future on my shoulders. My task on itself seemed impossible. After all, I was a mage (whose skill was regular at best) who wants to go against an entire Dark Guild. And even with the villages' support, my odds could be better…

So I reassured her wishes by smiling and replied to her. "Don't worry, with the help of Loeyur's best fighters, I'll come back safe and sound!" With that I felt a calm silence wash over me…that had been broken when I realized two things…

'Not only is this my last day in her inn, but I also have no idea where my shoulder bag could be left for safe-keeping!'

And once my panicked expression returned, I again felt the old lady's hand on my shoulder as she asked: "What's wrong, my dear? Is there anything left that troubles you?" Well, she already helped me, and I figured that once she saw my expression, she wouldn't leave it alone before it was solved.

'I could only tell her my problem…and hope that I didn't abuse her kind personality.'

"Uhm, you see. I have a shoulder bag with me and there is some pretty important stuff in there. I currently need a spot where I might deposit it there for safekeeping." And just like that she silenced me with her hand before starting to walk out my room while singing to follow her.

After I grabbed both the shoulder bag and the prepared knapsack, I walked downstairs where the reception was. The owner was standing in front of a painting that showed an old-looking windmill. When I walked up to her with questioning eyes she simply grabbed the side of the painting and, after hearing a small click, pushed the hidden door open.

And behind the painting door…was a safe. A safe, that was hidden behind a painting while it looked like it went through decades of usage. The old lady simply put in the combination and then opened its door. The safe itself consisted of 4 compartments (2 small ones on the top and the other 2 with the remaining space of the safe) and looked well taken care off from the inside.

"Is that maybe what you were looking for?" I swear that in the way she looked at me there was a tiny hint of smugness hidden…or that was just my imagination. Maybe both?

Well, whatever I had in my mind got interrupted my heavy boots hitting the wooden floor as we both say Trecht who tipped his straw hat to both of us before looking at the inn's owner. "Ah, I see you did help her out there. Thank you for that ma'am."

The elder in question just chucked again with her usual closed-eyed smile while replying. "Again, as long as you all bring her back safe, I don't mind using my old bones for work…"

And with that he turned to me while pointing towards the open door where 3 carriages stopped outside. "Well, if there isn't anything else left for you to do, I guess we move out now or we'll have to run the entire way there."

(For more Intensity, play from 'One Piece OST – Haha, Soshite Tabidachi [Mother, Then Setting Off]')

I had to acknowledge his wish, since everybody else will be waiting at the southern entrance soon. And I didn't want to stall this any further. So seeing as there wasn't much time left I put the shoulder bag into the hidden safe and let the inn's owner close it properly (and of course put the painting back into its place) before I gave her a quick hug.

"Don't you worry, once I'm back, everything in Loeyur will be fine then!" I then followed Trecht out of the Inn and let myself relax for now.

"Well said, kid. I'm sure we'll pull it off!" He actually put a hand around my shoulder (while almost tripping me to the ground) and spoke proudly in an excited voice. "And we'll be there with you all the way, kid!"

With that declaration we moved to the front carriage where Trecht took the driver's seat while I just sat in the carriage itself. Behind us were already two of the village-watchers (it actually was the pair that helped out in the infirmary yesterday) that took reins for the carriages (horses everybody, horses) and followed us on our way to the southern entrance. I was looking outside of the carriage to see the villagers standing before the buildings. They all either smiled, waved or even called out to us.

"Save travels, everybody!"

"Don't try to get hurt!"

"Come home soon, please!"

"Mommy, Mommy! Are these the ones you talked about?"

"Why, yes. And they are our full pride."

It was truly heartwarming to witness such compassion and trust put into us. They rooted for us and didn't even doubt their own thoughts. Was I sure that we'll liberate their village? No. Would I fight for them? Defiantly.

"Well, kid…" I looked towards Trecht, who had a smirk on his face while spectating the scene before our eyes. "It's time for us to save our Loeyur, isn't it?"

'It surely is time for- hold up. Did he actually…say that?' I knew that Loeyur was his village, but not mine…so why? "Did you actually just say…our Loeyur?"

His eyes widened for his eyes before he let out a wild laugh while closing his eyes. His laugh was contagious, so I couldn't help myself and laugh with him!

"Ha Ha! T-That was a good one, kid! I- Ha! Of course I mean it! Ha!" We both laughed for a while before he stopped and now looked at me with kind eyes. "Everyone here welcomed you into Loeyur from the moment you decided to help us. You're a part of our village, and that won't change for eternity. So…let's make them all proud, eh Jessica?"

I…I didn't even know what to say right here. They…they all accepted me just like…and I was part of their village- no, a part of their lives now. T-That…*Sniff*…

"H-Hey kid, why are you suddenly crying? I'm sorry if I said anything wrong to-"…And the moment he looked closer at my face, all regrets got silenced when I had the proudest smile I ever had flashed on my face, while tears of joy streamed like rivers down to the ground.

"T-Thank you! T-This m-means so much to me!" *Sniff* "I-I am grateful t-that you t-trust me s-so much!" I was so happy right here, it felt so good and so…right, so I my emotions let run free.

Trecht lowered his hat enough that his eyes got covered, but between all those blurry images in my own ones, I swore I saw a small tear run down his face. He quickly rubbed at his own face, before grinning proudly and declared: "Then cry it out into the crowd, kid! They are all part of your lives now, so let them know as well!"

Without much further ado I turned to the people one last time and shouted at the top of my lungs to them…

"THANK YOU FOR ACCEPTING ME, EVERYONE!"

As if their smiles couldn't get brighter, they all either laughed from joy or cried themselves. They all screamed on top of their lungs now and wished us all farewell. Yet the message was clear for everybody. 'You are always welcome here, and come back soon!' Everyone was there!

The family pair of doctors who waved at me directly…

The bartender who was shouting for my safety with his wife and child…

The two male workers that waved at me on the first minute of my arrival called out to me…

The old lady that owns the inn was somehow standing there and smiling at me from afar…

And even Mayor Lindheim was present and gave me a smile of gratitude…

Even in the future, I was sure that I'd be moved by their actions, their willingness to help, their kindness…they are all treating me as one of their own. At this day, a new hope was set in their hearts…

'And I'll do everything in my power to protect…our village…'

(To be continued…)

(Fire Me): Damn, the feels-train arrived at my home! And before you say anything, I won't blame the invisible ninjas cutting onions if I start crying!

'G': "A lot of people say that a real man doesn't cry, but…are you also a real man if you suppress your own emotions like that?"

Wow…that was…surprisingly wise.

'G': "I am the chairman of heaven for a reason, Fire."

Yea, you're right. Now, since we're here at the end-

Hana: *Bawls her eyes out* "THIS IS TOO MUCH! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME, YOU INVISIBLE JERKS!?" *Bawls even more*

…And ignoring that, I wish all of you're a good evening / day or whatever time of the day it is for you right now! With this said,

The Sir's out!
