Epilogue
IT’S been a few months since we destroyed the Demon Lord’s magic circle.
The explosion Clark caused by destroying the magic circle wiped out Analia’s royal capital. Thanks to Aela’s powers, there was no loss of life. Everyone was revived by our joint spell.
But without the guidance of the Demon Lord’s magic circle, Analia has become a kingdom without a purpose.
So Sereniel and Regulus became representative leaders of the people to prevent Analians from falling into the chaos of having no ruler. They are working hard to rebuild the country.
Aela made a triumphant return to Gaea with Prince Guido and Golem, trumpeting the news of the Demon Lord’s defeat.
Thus, the long war between the Kingdom of Gaea and Analia has come to an end. That said, with the conflict over, it’s been rumored that Gaea has become embroiled in succession wars within the royal family and various other political chaos, so it seems Prince Guido’s real fight starts now.
As for me and Julius, we returned to our beloved, glorious Elle Village together.
Rebuilding the village was our first course of action. Then tilling the fields, bundling straw bales, spinning thread to make clothes, caring for farm animals—there’s a lot of difficult work, but I have been enjoying every peaceful day with the villagers.
“Elle!” Julius calls for me while I’m weaving with the village women. He’s holding a letter. “We’ve received word from Sereniel.”
“What? From Sereniel?!” I jump up and run over to him.
“It seems they have finished cleaning up most of the trouble in Analia and are asking you to come spend time with them. What do you want to do?”
“I’m going!” I answer without delay. Julius smiles.
How nostalgic! I have no reason to refuse an invitation from fellow party members who helped vanquish the Demon Lord.
I’m super stoked about seeing them after all this time!
Plus, Sereniel said she wanted to talk about something if we succeeded in preventing the Demon Lord’s resurrection, but the opportunity completely slipped by because of the devastation the magic disaster wreaked on Analia.
Maybe this is my chance to fulfill the promise we made.
