Guinevere seemed to be misrepresenting herself as a princess.
　She would continue to smile shyly whenever she was pursued.
　But Kagetola was attracted to her good looks and her sometimes bold and shy personality.

'Well, what brought you here, Princess?'

　The face that looked like it was on fire after the hot water was already not that of an adventurer.

''It's okay with Guinevere that you're a princess. Well, I knew at a glance that you all are the heart of that dragon. So, as a princess, I thought I'd address you...''
Oh, I see. My name is Kagetora of the Dragon's Heart.

　Being the gentleman that he was, Kagetora asked for a handshake.
　Zephyr and Xiong grinned and began to whisper to each other.

''I know about Kagetora-sama. And of all of you....''
Mr. Guinevere seemed to know a lot about this statue.
Yes, of course. It's an image of Master Adams.

　Despite Kalifa's caution, Zephyr and Xiong were amused by Kagetora's embarrassment.

'What's up, Adolf?'

　Adolph, on the other hand, was different.

'No, it's nothing,'

　It was because the look in his eyes as he stared at Guinevere seemed cold.
　Only Khalifa noticed, but Adolf often ended up in a trivial conversation from the distant look on his face.

　On this day, Kagethras was in love for the first time in his life.

*

　Weeks have gone by and the five of them have not yet left the Godland.
　It's for Kagetra's sake.
　Kagetra had mended himself with the word preparedness to be blocked up for a time by the war.
　He tried to be strong by force.
　Of course, that resolve is not a sham.
　But even if it wasn't a fake, it was close to an anomaly.
　Kagetra, who had been working to rebuild the beyoment, looked somewhat distant at times.
　He may have wandered through the darkness the most of the five.
　Now Kagetra had an incredibly happy expression on her face now, which would have been unbelievable back then.

'I'm going out with her.

　One day, Kagetola took Guinevere and confessed to the four of them.
　They both had red cheeks.

'Well done!'

　Zephyr smiled.

'Spring has come to Kagetora?'

　Shaoan cried tears of joy.

'I thought so.'

　Khalifa grinned.

'You should say something to him too, Adolf.

　At Zephyr's words, Adolf put down his wine glass.

'Yeah. I'm happy too. Congratulations.

　He smiled and took a sip of his wine.

　But this is a forbidden love.
　No matter how much of a hero he was, one adventurer was not allowed to touch the princess of a country.
　Kagetora at least told her companions and kept the country from finding out about her relationship.

　But there's another problem.
　The five of them are adventurers, and they can't stay in this country forever.
　The day of farewell has come.

'Please wait, Master Kagetola, take me with you!

　Guinevere's grief echoed through the hotel room.

'You are a princess, you must not be taken.
So what should I do and when can I see you again?

　To the silent Kagetra, Zephyr suggested.

'Actually, I was thinking of going back to Biyoment once. Once at sea, you may not be able to come back to this continent. So I'll meet you in six months at the Beyoment. You can decide what you're going to do before then, Kagetra you know what I mean?

　Zephyr wants us to kidnap the princess.
　Kagetora understands, but he looks serious.

'Alright. Everyone meet me at the Biyoment.
All right, let's all go back to the bayouement.
I'm staying.

　It was Adolf.

'Hmm, what is it, Adolph, what do you want yet?'
'Yeah, I'm actually asking a certain blacksmith to order weapons for me. That's coming up.
What, let's wait until it's over then. It doesn't have to be today.
'No, it's fine. I'll take it, and then I'll go to Rougegelt next.
'Hmmm, I see. Okay. Okay, we'll be back first, so when you're done, Beyoncé, okay?
Yeah, okay.

　Adolf will stay behind.

'So you two, no, three. I'll see you later.

　Khalifa left the room first.

'Then, my friend, I will see you again.

　Xiaon also left the room.

Bye, all three of you. It's the Beyoncément, all right?

　Finally, Zephyr left and it was time to say goodbye.

*

　It had been almost a month since the three of them had left the Godland.
　A small hill near Biyoment.
　There they were, Zephyr and Khalifa, the two of them.

''It's been so long,''
Yeah, sure.

　As a child, the hills were a secret base for the four of them.
　Looking down on the town of Biyoment from here gave them a sense of maturity as young children.

'We've been through a lot, but I'm still glad we got back on our feet.

　I had mixed feelings.
　There is no longer the eternal city that it once was, and the superhuman race is now only four people.
　Biyoment is a city of refugees rebuilt, not a trace of it.

'Well, a lot of things have happened...'

　Nearly fifteen years had passed since the four of them were sent away by their families to leave the town.
　With the addition of Xiaon, there are now five of them, and now there is no one who doesn't know them.
　A dreamer who only wanted to be an S-ranked adventurer is now a hero.

''Khalifa, there's actually something I want to talk to you about.
Talk? .....

　Khalifa's cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
　But soon after, a voice is heard from somewhere.
　It's a voice calling Zephyr's name.
　Our time alone is over.

''Hmm, is that voice Shaoan?''
Well it's Shaoan. What's going on? Why are you shouting at me?

　They walked down the hill and came upon Shaoong, who had changed his blood color.

''Xiaon. What's the matter with you, are you in such a hurry?

　Shaoan was so out of breath that he was breathing on his shoulder.
　While catching his breath, he announced something to Zephyr.

''...What?　What did you just say?

　I thought I had heard wrong.

"--Kagatora was killed.

　Xiaon said again.
　From exclamation to astonishment.
　There was silence, and after a moment there was an unnatural smile that seemed to deceive.
　There was a look of grief, and Zephyr's mind was greatly disturbed.
　In Xiao Xiong's right hand was an informational magazine called the Vanome Communication.
　Zephyr looked through the article, and there it was: "Heroic Kagetra Execution! letters.

'What kind of...'

　Zephyr was speechless, slow to understand.

"Kagetora tried to kidnap the princess of the Godland and was killed. The king killed her and crucified and exposed her in the square...

　The information book in Zephyr's hand is disorganized in a crumpled mess, and his expression slowly turns to one of fury.
　As soon as he clenched his teeth.
　The earth shook on the ground.
　The ground shook and the birds of the forest flew away.
　The air is heavy and tense.
　The air was heavy and tense.

"Calm down, Zephyr, calm down!

　At Xiong's words, the tremors slowly subsided.
　Suppressing the raging vibrations, Zephyr slowly opened his mouth.

''Xiaon, let's go to the divine Kingdom.

　Two red-glowing eyes turned to Shaoan.

''Yeah, I meant to.''
Zephyr? .....

　Khalifa gave him an anxious look.

'Khalifa, you will stay here.
Yeah.
Do that. I have a bad feeling about this.

　Zephyr said in a dark tone of voice.

*

　After getting ready, they stood at the entrance of the town.

'I knew I'd be there!'

　I'm going to say goodbye to the Khalifa for now.

No. Stay here, please.

　Zephyr would not allow him to accompany her.
　But the Khalifa was not convinced.

'He can't be killed that easily.
'Yeah, I don't think there are enough people in that country to kill a Kagetra. But if this is the case....
There's someone behind the scenes...
That's it. Caliph, you understand?

　Zephyr explained why he couldn't be allowed to accompany them.

'But Adolf hasn't even come back yet.
When he comes back, tell him we've gone to God's country.
But he may be in the same boat as us, now that he's found out.
But then I can help you too!

　Khalifa couldn't help but have a bad feeling about it.

'Khalifa, I'm...'

　But it's the same for Zephyr.

''What ... what's the story?''
....
You said you wanted to talk to me, so tell me now.

　His voice was shaky.

'I'll tell you when I get back, I promise. I'll be back in a minute...

　His voice has a hint of the opposite of his words.
　It's as if he knows he can't go back.

'All right. I'll ... wait here for you all to return.

　Khalifa said with a smile.

'I'm sorry...'
I'll be waiting for you up on that hill.

　Wiping her tear-stained face, Khalifa smiled.
　Zephyr felt like his heart was breaking.
　But for the best, he couldn't take Khalifa with him.
　Kagetra was the best of the five of them.
　The fact that Kagetora was killed means that there are more than four of them left.
　In that case, they must naturally make up their minds.

　The two men straddled their horses.
　You can't just go ahead and do it.
　Zephyr, who couldn't bear to look at them, finally said: "It's in the third drawer.

In the third drawer you can keep it until I come back.
What?
I'll talk to you when I get back. So just wait for me, for us to get back.

　With the last word, Zephyr galloped off with Shaoan.
　And.
　Left alone, Khalifa--.

''........Huh?''

　She wiped the tears away.

'I ... why was I crying?

　Khalifa had lost her memory.
　She forgot the eternal city, the adventure, the dragon's heart, everything that had ever happened to her.
　Tilting her head, a strange look on her face, Khalifa walked towards the town -.

*

　Once upon a time, there were five adventurers called the Dragon's Heart.
　They overcame many adventures and hardships and brought miracles and peace to this world.

　They were called heroes.

　More than any other, they wished for peace in this world.
　But no one knows that anymore.
　What was the Heart of the Dragon and did the five adventurers really exist?
　No one knows about their adventures and their wishes anymore.
　Their five names have unnaturally disappeared from this world.

　But the fact will not disappear.
　It will remain in each of their hearts forever.
　As long as there are people who will not forget them.

　She is one of them.

　She's still waiting.
　She said she would come back, and she believed her words.
　In this eternal city - in Beyoment.
　Even now, she is waiting for someone's return on that hill.

　I'm still waiting for someone's return on that hill, beyond the oblivion.
