Shinwa Densetsu no Eiyuu no Isekaitan

Volume 4, Epilogue

After their oaths were done, they looked out at the burning tent.

“I’ll definitely avenge them…”

As her eyes reflected the scene of the tent burning down with a loud noise, Skaaha muttered a few words. Although he sensed the deep sadness in her words, Hiro had no intention of offering words of comfort.

She would continue to move forward without him saying anything. She would not stop until she got her revenge.

However, Hiro was thinking about the future. If she got her revenge, he wanted her to find her own path and pursue it.

(Until then, I will guide her. I believe that she and Liz will have a good relationship.)

It will surely be a good stimulus for both of them to improve each other as the holders of the Five Emperors of the Spirit Sword.

“…Now that I have nothing left to regret. For now, let’s say goodbye to the past.”

Skaaha said with her back to the burning tent.

“Then let’s go back to Fort Mitte.”

As Hiro began to walk, Skaaha solemnly followed behind him. Her identity is known to many people. So she hid her face with her hood.

She must have lived in inconvenience for a while. Hiro apologizes for that, but she will have to put up with it.

(But that’s only for a little while.)

From now on, the eyes that have been looking outward will turn inward. He will have to decide where to start to break it down, and since any flashy move might be detected, he will have to stay quiet on the surface.

However, in order to stop them from breathing, he is planning to hunt them down slowly.

(First, let’s get Liz back on track…)

And then, just before Fort Mitte, Hiro stopped in his tracks. He felt he heard a familiar, very warm voice. But when he looked around, he could only see soldiers at work, and he thought he was hallucinating.

“Haha… I’m really glad.”

Hiro looked up and saw a girl he hadn’t seen in a long time.

“Hiiiiirooooo!”

The beautiful melody that he had been looking forward to more than anything else was carried by the wind and gently caressed his ears. Although her injuries are not fully healed, she is climbing the walls with a dangerous gait.

Every once in a while, her face would contort, probably because her wounds hurt. Nevertheless, Liz appealed to Hiro with exaggerated movements as if to assert to him that she was safe.

Hiro could only laugh dryly in amazement. Skaaha, next to him, rolled her eyes in surprise.

“Hiiiiirooooo!”

The red-haired girl calls out his name over and over again ― and next to her, the silver-haired girl is also in a panic.

“Hmm, I see; she’s really an energetic girl.”

“I’m sure you’ll get along.”

Hiro said, and Skaaha nodded vigorously.

“I know that. I’ve only known her a short time, but… she has already touched my heart.”

“Well, then, let’s go before she falls from the walls.”

Hiro quieted his fluttering heart and walked lightly to the moment he had been waiting for.
