An ordinary profession creates the world's strongest

"Stop it, Nagumo! Come back here!"

"Boss! We haven't even repaid your kindness yet!"

Inside the headquarters, Liliana was praying, her hands clasped tightly together, her fingertips looking pale.

"If this ends like this... I won't allow it! Please, show yourself!"

On the edge of the walled city roof—

"Nagumo-kun, this won't do. You promised to come back. If you did, you must keep your promise. Otherwise, I will never forgive you..."

The beloved son who had been encouraging the Allied soldiers kept repeating this while trying hard to hold back his tears.

Everyone prayed the same prayer in their hearts.

"Maybe they've already..." Just as Kouki, Ryuutarou, and Suzu were beginning to feel pessimistic and were about to give up—

"No way!"

A surprisingly loud voice spoke with such finality that even the coalition forces a little further away might have heard it.

Guanghui and the others looked towards the source of the sound as if awakened.

It was Xia. She stood majestically, her rabbit ears erect and her back straight.

She stared firmly at the sky and spoke with a tone of absolute conviction.

"No matter what anyone says, no matter what happens, as long as Hajime-san and Yue-san are together, there will absolutely, absolutely be no problem! As long as they're together, they're invincible!"

Therefore, we will definitely get through this level of difficulty safely and come back with a smile.

Xia's words were filled with unwavering confidence, inspiring those who were filled with anxiety.

Her words seemed to have magic power, affecting people all over the world.

"...Hehe, that's true. Maybe they're hiding somewhere, enjoying some time alone."

"It's very likely. They often leave me and myself aside."

"After all, it's a reunion with my beloved, so this is inevitable."

Following Kaori, Tio and Shizuku couldn't help but smile bitterly. Their conversation made Ling and the others feel much more relaxed.

Then, changes happened.

As if to confirm what Shia and the others said—

"Ah... hehe, look."

Shia pointed somewhere, where crimson ripples appeared.

The seven-colored aurora covering the sky was like a thin veil, but in the gap between the aurora, there was a small hole.

“Uuuuu!?”

"……Uh-huh."

Two figures, hugging each other, jumped out of the small hole. They were, of course, Hajime and Yue.

Hajime held Yue tightly in one hand, Yue also put his arms around Hajime's neck and hugged him tightly.

The two of them were falling in free fall, the only sound they could hear was the strong wind. From their height, it looked like they would hit the ground in another forty seconds.

The coalition army could be seen in the distance. If this continued, they would end up on the grassland several kilometers away from the army.

"Yue, can you fly?"

"...No. I've used up all my magic power just to activate the arrow."

"I think so. I'm going to use a bit of roughness, so make sure you hold on tight."

"...Yes, I will. I will never let you go."

"..."

The current situation was no different from skydiving without a parachute, but Yue only had eyes for Hajime. From a very close distance, she gave him a bewitching smile and licked the corner of her mouth.

Hajime coughed dryly, "Hmm," and deliberately ignored his rapidly racing heartbeat, his entire body radiating a hint of crimson magic. Because he was missing an arm, his balance was difficult to maintain, but he managed to maintain his posture.

"The number of times it can be used...if I try my best, I can probably use it ten times."

His magic power was dwindling, like the grease stain in the corner of a lunchbox. With so little magic power, even if he simply used his "air power" to create a foothold in the air, the number of times he could use it was quite limited.

However, they had fallen from a height of nearly 8,000 meters and had to find a way to survive.

"It doesn't matter. It's not bad to be with you."

“…Hmm.”

Yue kissed Hajime on the cheek. Hajime couldn't help but smile in admiration at the fact that he could do such a thing in such a strong wind.

It seemed that Yue didn't think that Hajime would fail at all.

As a man, he had to respond to such trust. Thus, Hajime began to concentrate.

He turned, spreading ripples in the air, creating a foothold that lasted only a moment. Though the foothold was instantly shattered, it did have a decelerating effect. Hajime repeated this process repeatedly, simultaneously estimating his speed and distance from the ground.

Deep red ripples continued to appear in the air, and each one was closer to the ground than the last. The coalition forces seemed to have noticed it and suddenly there was a commotion.

A moment later, a sympathetic voice echoed throughout the room, its tone deeply moving. It was the Commander-in-Chief.

"We won!"

The long-awaited declaration finally arrived. This was what everyone had been waiting to hear.

moment……

— Uoo ...

The battlefield—no, the new world without God—was filled with the people's explosive cheers.

The sound of the gong celebrating victory rang out like the birthing cry of a new world. As if in response, the seven-colored aurora covering the sky cast down shimmering particles of light.

Under the restored sunlight, particles of light reflected the sun, adorning the entire world with sparkling diamond dust. This must be a gift to celebrate the birth of a new world.

Amidst the sky full of shining light particles, Shi stepped on the last ripple, successfully slowed down his falling speed, and landed on the ground holding Yue.

However, the wounds on his feet had not yet healed, and his magic power had been completely depleted from using "Aero Power". He was extremely weak and could not stand firmly.

So he fell backwards holding Yue.

"Haha, I still can't be handsome in the end."

Hajime said with a wry smile. His body was completely out of control, and he could only lie on the ground. However, his expression looked very comfortable.

Yue, who had been held in her arms the entire time, turned over and rode on Shi's body, hugging him from the front and putting her face close to his, so close that their noses were almost touching.

Yue slowly shook her head and said.

"...No, you're the most handsome. Really, really handsome."

"real?"

“…Yes, Hajime. Thank you. I love you the most.”

After saying that, Yue showed a charming smile on her face and kissed her soft and sweet lips.

Hajime was unable to move and could only let Yue do whatever she wanted and concentrate on enjoying her sweet kiss.

Of course, even if Hajime could move, as long as Yue wanted it, Hajime would definitely not be able to resist. Definitely... no, it should be said absolutely, there was not even the thought of resistance.

The endless kissing made the two of them deaf to the thunderous cheers of the coalition forces, creating a world that belonged only to the two of them.

Then, the two heard a sound that even they couldn't ignore.

"Ahh! As expected! Making out again! Miss Yue!?"

“You’ve become an adult!? Yue is using that adult charm to attack Hajime-kun!?”

"What!? And the master didn't resist at all... He's completely bewitched!"

"This, this is so tempting...but I can't give up! As a girl, I have no choice but to move forward bravely!"

The first to arrive at the scene were Shia, Kaori, Tio, and Shizuku.

Later, Ling, Ryutaro and Guanghui also arrived one after another.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became lively and did not seem like a touching reunion scene. Xia and others rushed over happily.

Yue stopped kissing and straightened his upper body, still looking only at Shi. They smiled at each other.

"Hi, everyone. We're back."

"...Yeah, we're back."

“Welcome back!”

The words of welcome from the crowd were full of joy and affection, echoing across the grassland on the refreshing wind.

Above, the sky rained down glittering diamond dust.

There are important people around me whose smiles bloom like flowers, and each smile is as warm as the spring sunshine.

Many people were coming from afar, calling out Hajime's name.

Hajime felt the warmth around him, the sense of accomplishment, and the satisfaction in his heart, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

This smile was both rebellious and gentle, revealing a wonderful emotion that could not be expressed in words.

Such a smile from Hajime made Yue and other girls' hearts beat fast, and they couldn't help but stand up shyly with excitement.

At the same time, Hajime relaxed in a comfortable feeling of fatigue and gently closed his eyes.

Volume 13, Final Chapter: Journey's End

Mythical War.

Naturally, this is what people call the decisive battle on which the fate of the whole world depends.

A month passed after the decisive battle ended.

The place where the capital of the Kingdom of Heilig once stood was still bustling with the same vibrant noise today.

Most of the sounds were the roars of the stubborn craftsmen. Instructions, orders, and shouts rose and fell, interspersed with laughter and the occasional quarrel.

At the same time, colorful magical lights appeared one after another, and wood and stone danced in the air.

This is the voice of revival and the scene of revival.

This is a scene that can only be seen in a fantasy world where swords and magic are intertwined.

At the beginning of the decisive battle, the Sacred Mountain collapsed, and the sand and rubble of the collapsed sacred peak buried the royal capital. Surprisingly, the sand and rubble have been cleared away, and some of the area is now under construction.

Non-combatants around the world who were unable to participate in the Mythical War—especially the craftsmen—are devoting all their efforts to the restoration.

Regardless of race or country, everyone helps each other out of kindness.

During the decisive battle, most of the Royal Capital's residents fled to the Imperial Capital and other major cities. These locations were equipped with artifact screens, the same kind used outside the headquarters to monitor battlefield conditions. These were set up by students during their missions to various locations.

Therefore, in all major cities, people can simultaneously pay attention to this decisive battle that determines the survival of mankind.

In other words, most people in this world have witnessed this deadly battle with their own eyes.

We are all witnesses to the myth.

No one could fail to be moved after witnessing this scene. Everyone wanted to contribute to the world.

After the decisive battle, the "Space Gates" set up around the world were reopened, and the vast grasslands in front of the royal capital were once again filled with cheers of celebration, celebrating reunion and victory.

At the same time, in memory of the heroes who sacrificed their lives and the royal capital that was reduced to rubble and ruins, the people gathered here took the initiative to devote themselves to the post-war reconstruction work.

People's determination and ability to act are amazing. If the current rate continues, it is estimated that within half a year the capital will be able to recover to a certain extent and regain its original appearance.

This place was the front line of the mythical war, and is now regarded as the front line of the restoration of the royal capital.

The tragic scars left by the war on the prairie have been completely erased, and most temporary houses and facilities necessary for life have been built, allowing many people involved in the reconstruction work to live here without hindrance.

Many merchants have gathered here to support their reconstruction efforts, establishing restaurants, general stores, and other businesses, creating a vibrant community. Perhaps after the capital's reconstruction is complete, this area will become part of the city's expansion zone.

By then, this place will become a beautiful town that is even more vibrant than when it had the [Sacred Mountain] behind it.

At the site of this battlefield, there is also a temporary "Heilig Palace".

It was rebuilt during the restoration of the walled city at that time. More doors and windows were added to facilitate living.

In this temporary palace, in the room that used to be the headquarters, a young girl was sitting at a desk, looking deep in thought.

She was Liliana S.B. Heilig, who had commanded the human coalition forces at a young age and was now considered a living legend.
