Cou-sama, are you awake?
I am, but we don't have to get up just yet.
Yeah.
Today is the last day of the Union Festa.
The town will be really lively, I'm sure.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it will be chaotic.
It's sad that the festival is ending.
I wish that the fun times could continue forever.
Me too...

As long as you are there, I will soar high into the blue sky.
The three Heroes are scheduled to return home two days after the Union Festa.
The day of our parting is almost upon us.
We are really grateful for specially flying us all this way, Rebecca.
「Final Stage˩
Thank you very much!
It's nothing!
Today, Nanami is going to Biscotti with the princess.
Cinque is going to Pastillage with Couvert.
And I'm going to Galette.
It seems that they're switching the heroes around.
Really.
Indeed.
And we prepared something pretty fun for it, too.
Nanami and Millhi agreed to it, but...
...Rebecca, would you like to join in?
Now, from our live broadcast of the Union Festa Special,
our studio guest is the ruler of the Republic of Biscotti,
Princess Millhiore!
Hello.
Representing the Galette Lion Army, we have the ladies from Genoise!
And here we have Biscotti's Her-
Hello.
I'm Biscotti's Hero, Takatsuki Nanami!
Eh?!
Um, well...the Hero with us today seems to be a little different than the usual one...
Eh? Is that right?
I am the Hero!
To tell you the truth, we have a small project planned for today,
in which Nanami-san is my Hero.
Our "Hero for a day", if you will.
Her Highness Leo,
it is finally the last day of the Union Festa.
How do you feel about the events so far?
I've had nothing to complain about.
It's gone wonderfully so far.
His Highness Gaul, how about a word from you about the Hero?
Why not ask her directly?
Well then, come here, my Hero!
Yes!
H-Hello.
I'm Galette's Hero, Rebecca.
Today, Rebecca is Galette's Hero.
Though her Ex Machina is an imitation.
Well? Isn't she cute?
Thank you very much.
Rebecca-sama is really cute!
Nanami-dono and Rebecca-dono look great in those outfits.
That means that our Hero is Pastillage's Hero for today right?
That's right.
That means he will need to change outfits, right?
Yeah, you're right...
Magical Beam!
That's not good!
Actually, I don't think it's bad at all.
Agreed!
It's so wrong but oh, so right!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Huh? What's wrong everyone?
That fits you nicely, doesn't it?
I'm glad. Really glad...
When you think about it, this was the only logical outcome.
You look so cool, Cinque.
Huh? Thank you.
Speaking of which, I guess the heroes are all going back home very soon.
Well, they'll be coming back soon enough.
It brings back memories, Earth...
Couldn't I go to Earth with them as well?
Oh, why would you want to go?
Isn't it obvious?
I want to check out the figures and underwear of the girls.
I couldn't hear you.
What did you say?
Nothing at all.
I thought so...
And with that, please enjoy tonight's final stage!
Everyone, thank you for your hard work.
Yes.
Thank you for your hard work!
Huh? Noir?
Rico, Noir, and I are going out for a bit.
Shall I accompany you there?
No, we'll be all right.
Skyer can take care of the three of us with ease.
We shall be back before Millhi-nee's live performance.
Be careful.
Skyer, go!
See you later!
Shall we head off to the stage?
Yeah.
Agreed.
Biometric data of the rightful heir to Pastillage confirmed,
and the Heavenly Spear Crimaris is present.
The door shall now open.
This is the legendary treasure vault beneath Eschenbach Castle.
It's the pride of Pastillage; both an ancient place and a giant maze.
I've heard the stories...
This is the first time I've ever been inside!
Both of you mentioned before that you'd like to explore this place.
That was quite a long time ago, when we were young.
You remembered?!
It's my motto to never break or forget any promises.
However, you will need to be careful.
This vault is filled with traps to catch intruders.
But those kinds of traps are only on the lower floors.
The ones on the first floor are all deactivated.
Come on, Cou-sama!
Don't scare me!
But Cou-sama, you have some business down here as well, right?
Yes. I want to get an item to give to Rebecca for the Return Ritual.
I have so many mementos stored down here.
I see.
Furthermore, the two of you have already experienced the return ritual.
I wanted to ask you to explain it to me a little.
Oh, this is it!
That jewel box!
First of all, let's take it and confirm...
Cou-sama!
Skyer!
Bright Power Release!
Seven Tails!
Last second save...
Nicely done, Noir!
You saved us.
That trap was active.
Well, this place is quite old,
so it is bound to have some issues.
Where in the world are we?
I'm guessing about ten levels below the ground.
Well, we just fell straight down.
If I use Skyer, it'll be really easy to...
It closed.
Which means...
...we're trapped!
Look! There's a map!
If we use it, I'm sure that we can find a way out!
A trap...
You two, please proceed carefully and watch your step.
I'm sorry. I should have kept my mouth shut.
This maze is savage!
We have to find a way to escape somehow.
Oh, this chair is just perfect.
That sound...
Could it be?
Please don't say that...
I knew it!
Rebecca, is something wrong?
Oh, nothing.
Is that so?
Yes.
I wonder why I have such a bad feeling...
An alley! We need an alleyway!
No matter how far we run, there are no junctions in sight at all!
It's going to catch up to us!
Is everyone safe?
I'm alive...
Hey, is that Becky?
Ah, Cinque?
Did Cou-sama and the others meet up with you already?
No, not yet...
That's weird.
Their errand shouldn't have taken this long...
What?
Under the castle?
That's right, she was going to the treasure vault under the castle.
Treasure vault?
First of all, that's a maze I used back when I was still doing my Demon King thing.
It's a dark and scary final dungeon that is filled with brutal traps.
What?!
Of course, the traps have all been deactivated.
But that place is really old, so...
Becky!
Yes!
Is this a dead end?
Let's take a short break.
I'm kind of tired.
I agree.
Rico, Noir, I'm really sorry.
All of this happened because I invited you over here.
It's not your fault, Cou-sama.
To begin with, we were the ones that wanted to come here.
But if I were more careful...
If I had properly maintained this place...
If that's what you think, I should have saved you two with my Seven Tails before we started falling
And I should have noticed that trap on the floor.
But...
We're all OK.
They known we are below the castle, so help is bound to come for us soon.
Indeed!
For the time being, let's just take a break.
Oh, that reminds me, Cou-sama.
What did you want to know about the return ritual?
Ah, yes. Did you feel sad when you parted with the Hero?
Or did you feel worried, maybe?
Something like that...
Well, of course I felt sad and lonely, and I cried a lot.
The last return was disastrous for many reasons.
I heard a little about that.
But when I found out that we would meet again, all of my loneliness flew away!
I'm also sad that Nanami and Cinque are leaving,
but the truth is that we can meet again whenever we want.
Even knowing that, I still feel anxious.
Rebecca lives in a faraway world, where there are many fun things
and people who are important to her...
I worry that she will forget about me after a while.
Cou-sama...
I know, Rebecca is a sweet girl.
I'm sure that such a thing won't happen.
But even so, parting with her makes me feel lonely.
I don't have the strength to believe.
You can laugh at me for being such a childish ruler now.
We won't laugh at you.
There is no one in the world that can say that parting with someone you love is not painful.
Now, Rico, our break is over.
Right!
We need to make sure that you spend every moment with Rebecca before she has to leave!
That's why we're going to make it out of here.
Rico... Noir...
Now...
That's not cool! Just when I started to get a grip!
For the time being, we just have to esc-
We can't!
Look! Up there!
I am going to do something about this.
I am not going to let my best friends get hurt!
I have located Crimaris.
The trap has been temporarily deactivated,
but only for a short while.
Cinque, Rebecca, go and rescue them!
Right!
Little girl, take this!
What is this?
A Demon God Crystal.
Simply put, it's the Demon King's version of the Hero Crystal.
I'm sure you will be able to put it to good use, Rebecca.
I'll do just that!
Hero Teleport!
It's falling again!
If only I could open this door...
Sorry for the wait, everyone!
Hero Cinque's "Hero Time"...
...and Hero Rebecca have arrived!
Rebecca... Cinque...
Please wait a moment.
We are going to push this thing back!
What the...
This thing is incredibly heavy.
I will do it.
Cinque, could you support it for just a second?
Understood!
Demon God Crystal, activate!
Demon King Seal!
Witch Cannon! Ultra Demon King Mode!
Everyone, get down!
Fly away!
Thank you, Cinque.
I somehow managed to do it.
Hero-sama!
Cinque!
Rebecca!
Cou-sama!
Rebecca... I'm so glad...
Sheesh, I told you before to take bodyguards with you when you're going to dangerous places.
I'm so sorry.
But I'm so relieved that you are safe.
I am a knight...
Noir, shush!
Now, let's get out of this place.
The princess will be on stage soon!
You're right!
We are on schedule for the show.
Five more minutes!
Princess!
Everybody's in their seats.
That's great...
Ah, but are they all right? Is anybody hurt?
Not at all.
They are all smiling happily.
I'm relieved.
Well then, I shall be heading to my seat as well.
Do your best, Princess!
Yes!
Princess! Princess!
