When did you realize this?

Zela muttered to herself. Ｘ

I guess it wasn't long after I cured Layla and returned to the astral realm to use the Life Psalm Eden.

She recalled.

Despite only a hint of it, Zela, who has a keen eye for negative emotions, notices it.

Because Mebisvivia Miglio is just an ordinary girl, she will be troubled by something.

This fact.

……

***********************************************************************************************************************

The dots of the Sirius tree shimmer with beautiful fluorescent light.

The night breeze was rippling, and it was obviously a reunion after a long time, but what surrounded the two girls was a deep sadness.

“…… I'm sorry, but I still couldn't find the goblin with you. ”

Smiling softly, Zela, whose whole body kept turning into white particles, sighed softly.

There are still many things that can be done, and there are many words that she wants to convey, but unfortunately, she doesn't seem to have time......

In the face of this apology, Mebis just shed tears and shook his head desperately.

Although her consciousness has been half-asleep and half-awake, she is not ignorant of it.

How much Zela had paid, what it meant now, and the emotion that overwhelmed her, Mebis knew it all.

“…… That's not true...... That's not the case......"

Full of tears, the feather-eared girl kept denying something.

“……”

Reaching out and gently hugging her crying friend into her arms, the girl could only try her best to soothe her.

Mebis couldn't wake up because part of her soul was with Zela.

Nirvana's poems did cure her lack of mana, but it failed to return the soul that she had taken away from her body when it was out of control.

The original wound caused by forcibly crossing the world to use power in the first place has never recovered, but has temporarily filled the rift with the power of Mebis's soul.

Therefore, as long as she does not 'leave' this world, Mebis will not be able to fully wake up without her soul being liberated.

At the thought of this result, Zela couldn't help but show a bitter expression.

However, the other party must not be allowed to see it.

Otherwise, her next lie will be exposed.

“…… Don't cry......"

"Have you forgotten...... The Star Spirit is immortal......"

With a slight strain of her hands, Zela, who placed her head on her friend's shoulder, tried to relax her tone as much as possible.

“…… Woo...... It's true...... ......"

Holding back the tears in his eyes, Mebis, whose voice was choked, confirmed as if pleading.

She hoped it was true, and that was the only hope.

“…… Well. ”

Slowly letting go of the feather-eared girl, who had calmed down a little, Zela responded with a soft hum, hiding the true answer in her heart.

It is true that the Star Spirit does not die, but that is only in general terms.

If even existence is gone, there is no way to recover it.

Mebis is so smart that she must have found out right away.

So......

“…… Still, you see it too. ”

Stretching out her hands, which were only transparent outlines, Zela sighed with a wry smile.

"The battle just now ...... 'somewhat' more than I expected...... This time I might have to take a 'rest'......"

Despite the vagueness, Mebis understood.

"According to the rules of the Astral Spirit Realm...... I can't tell you anything about 'it'......"

The dissipated part has spread to the chest.

"'It' could be anywhere in the world...... Just take it as if it were my request......"

The light smile faded into the air, leaving the last words.

"Let's go find my key......"

That is necessary for all the astral spirits to appear in this world.

At that time...... We'll ...... It's time to have adventures together again......

And then......

Can you tell me your answer?

The last sentence was still unspoken.

Not because of shyness, nor because of fear of rejection.

When the time comes, let's just think so.

“…… Hmmm......"

"I'm going to ...... will find your ......"

Grabbing the hem of her clothes, the feather-eared girl sobbed under her breath again.

This is her last hope and her courage to step into the future......

When the white dots of light drifted across the sea of trees, the people with the fairy and witch crests seemed to hear the familiar phantom sound.

Bye...... Everybody...... Mebis please......

……

The witch's adventure seems to be coming to an end here......

However, the new adventure has only just begun.

In an age of no war, no dark magic, Mebis has always been able to embark on new adventures with her companions who have inherited their ideas.

Although she can't join in for the time being, there are some small regrets.

But it doesn't matter.

Because in this world, she has found the greatest treasure.

That's where all magic comes from......

A ...... called 'Love'

The magic of one.

……

************************************************************************************************************************

The crusade of the Light Alliance, composed of the three guilds, against the Dark Guild's Witch's Verse, is over.

Although it was a 'failure', no one complained.

After all, in this battle, they witnessed the demise of the most powerful guild in the dark world, the Gate of Hades.

Hmm...... It can't be said that everyone has no complaints.

For example, a certain tenacious fire dragon boy has been yelling that someone is not keeping his promise, and because he failed the S-level exam, he is holding his breath to settle accounts with her.

Of course, it was soon 'educated' by Kildas.

The next day, Erin, who followed Zela's 'will', used the key she left behind to ask Anna to open the door of Virgo and bring back the fairy princess who had been sleeping for a hundred years.

Before her body recovered, the little princess was clamoring for an 'adventure'.

Fortunately, under the persuasion of everyone, I was finally willing to calm down and take care of my body first.

After hearing her reason, Layla has mobilized the power of the entire Hatfilia plutocracy to find the key that belongs to Zela.

The people of the Witch's Poetry also said that they would accompany Mebis to travel to the continent in the future to find their irresponsible president.

Although it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, everyone was high-willed.

Erin, the only one who knows the 'truth', didn't pour cold water on it, because that's what Zela wanted.

And it is worth mentioning here that under the revelation of Gerald, the youngest member of the Holy Ten Council, the former president of the Magic Council and the four councilors who colluded with the Dark Guild have all been sent to the Magic Prison for dereliction of duty.

All of this also caused an uproar in the entire wizarding world.

Everyone also hopes that the wizarding world can usher in real peace, so a lot of thought has been put into the selection of the reconstituted councilors, such as a blue-haired young man who took the lead in exposing it, and there is a lot of demand for being elected as the new speaker......

Either way, things are moving in the direction that someone's cradle project intended.

That's enough, isn't it.

……

************************************************************************************************************************

The Astral Realm, the place where the Astral Spirit is reborn.

“…… Ahh ”

Around the star-colored book floating on the Star Spring, a point of light the size of a two-headed body was constantly shouting.

It's just that this tone always feels like it's snickering.

"Forget it, let's take her back first."

A flash of light flashed, and the book and the point of light disappeared from the surface of the lake at the same time.
