After a successful visit to Alice, we headed home.

Alice, you look good.
Oh, come on!　You're going to pick a fight with me in a heartbeat!
'No, I think Fee's on the other side of the fence too, but...'
What?　Do you have a problem with that?

　Fee glared at me with a half-face, but I decided not to pursue the matter further as I felt it would be troublesome to say anything more.

'Nevertheless, it looks like the recovery is progressing.
Yeah.

　I look around. Reconstruction seems to be already quite advanced, and I'm told that in another month it will be enough to get back to normal.

'You've been through a lot so far.
'Well...'

　The events that took place in this kingdom. The situation was safely settled, but there were still some questions left to be answered. In the first place, the opponent's attack itself was not as radical as I had initially thought.

　Rather, at the end of the game, they were able to easily subdue the opponent's leadership as if they had completely lost control.

　Furthermore, the ringleader was said to be Alice, but in the end it was said to be Prince Oscar. That too remains a mystery after all........

''Aww. What are we going to do for dinner tonight?

　The conversation turns to dinner tonight.

'Of course Elle will eat with us, right?'
Yeah. That would help.
Hmmm. There isn't much left over at home either....and there aren't many shops that are empty to begin with...

　He put his hand to his chin and seemed to be thinking about a lot of things. He had been eating a lot of canned food and emergency rations lately, so he didn't have a particular desire to eat anything.

''Well, let's just decide on the Texans there. Elle wouldn't mind anyway, would she?'
Oh. No problem.

　They continued to walk together in silence.

　Then suddenly Fee stopped in place.

'What's the matter?'
No, I just thought, well, it's really over...
Seems a little quicker in the end, don't you think?
'Yes. But I'm still glad to have Elle around.
Really?
Yeah. This whole thing just made me realize even more that Elle is a genius.

　Her voice sounded more serious than ever.

　Her eyes were also staring at me.

".........Genius, huh? But there were a lot of things I couldn't save.
And yet, there were certainly things I could have done to help.
'Well it would be nice to hear you say that.

　I stare into the void.

　I look back at the many things I've done on the road to this point. Thinking back, it's really been a lot of things.

"Hey Elle. I think I need to take it easy for a while.
Yeah.

　And so we went on, with the sunset lighting us up.
