Union Festa has ended, but I would like to keep creating such fun events with everyone.
Union Festa's Final Stage.
The excitement that connected the three countries, without ever calming down...
As the excitement continued, the night of the party slowly came to an end.
Starting tomorrow, we shall return to our usual calm and peaceful days.
And then...
furui nooto ni kakitsuzutta
古いノートに書き綴った
An old notebook chronicle
Ano hibi no monogatari ni
あの日々の物語に
of the tale from those days
ji endo wa mada
THE END はまだ
which has yet to end.
Tokei no hari ga susumu goto ni
時計の針が進むごとに
By each tick of the clock
Omoi wa tashika ni chikazuiteku
思いは確かに近づいてく
our feelings certainly came closer.
Hito wa negau toki sora wo miageru wake wa kitto
人は願う時 空を見上げるわけはきっと
The reason why people look up at the sky when making a wish
Yume no iriguchi tsunagatteru to shinjiteiru kara
夢の入り口繋がってると信じているから
is because they believe it's connected to the entrance to their dreams.
boku wa hitomi tojita
僕は瞳閉じた
Therefore, I closed my eyes
Kasukana kibou wo sagasu mitai ni
かすかな希望を探すみたいに
as if looking for the faintest hope...

ﾌｨｱｰﾚｽ 僕はもっと強くなりたい
Fearless! I want to become even stronger.
Omoide janaku ima no kimi no tame ni
思い出じゃなく今の君のために
Not within my memories, but for you right now.
Negau kotoba masshiro na hane wo yadoshite
願う言葉真っ白な羽を宿して
With the pure white wings that reside within these prayers.
Kimi ga iru ao no hate made maiagare
君がいる青の果てまで舞い上がれ
As long as you are there, I will soar high into the blue sky.
Yes?
Hero, you're heading out with the princess and the others today, right?
Yeah, Becky and the others are making lunch boxes.
I know, I took a peek earlier.
And this is for you.
Hmm? You're giving me clothes?
I had them made at a shop I frequently visit.
Try them on, I think they will probably fit you.
Ahh, this looks so nice.
It's not bad to occasionally wear clothes other than your Hero outfit, no?
Yeah, but is it really okay for me to have these?
It will trouble me if you return them, so please just wear them.
Now then, Hero, this shall be your last mission for this summer.
OK!
Today, you'll have to relax with the princess and your friend for the day.
And have fun playing with the princess and Rebecca.
Can you do it?
I will do my best, I swear on my title as a Hero!
All right then, get going!
Ah, Cinque!
Your highness, Nanami!
Cinque, where did you get those clothes from?
Éclair gave them to me.
Oh, is that so?!
Looking dapper!
Oh, everyone seems to be here.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Now then, shall we?
The lowlands picnic tour of the rulers and Heroes!
Off we go!
This is amazing!
It's a nice place, isn't it?
This is our favourite summer spot.
The water is really beautiful and it even has fish.
You're right, there are so many!
And a lot of local gods as well...
The spirits' protection is exceptionally strong around here.
That's why nature's blessing is very rich here.
It won't be any good if you get excited so easily at this stage.
We have an even more amazing place to show you.
Ah, let's take a picture.
A commemorative picture with everyone!
So, shall we take turns?
First, Nanami and everyone else.
Ah, don't worry about that.
Leo-sama, is it all right?
Yes. Noir!
Yes, your highness!
Secret Escort Unit...
...at your service!
Well then Noir, can I entrust you with the shutter?
Leave it to me.
All right, there are so many places I want to show you!
Ancestors? Isuka-dono?!
The Hero Crystals I gave to Cinque and Gaul...
We haven't given one to you, Nanami.
Ah, speaking of that...
Nanami, you also qualify to be a proper Hero.
We shall make sure to have one prepared for you by the time you return.
Really?!
Thank you very much!
Well, many things have happened with you kids,
but I woke up thanks to you and that little descendant,
so you have my thanks.
I'm also indebted to you.
You too, you have inherited the Demon Crystal.
Make sure to keep training on the other side as well.
Yes, I will do my best!
I'm sorry I couldn't find a better time to secretly give this to you.
Don't be absurd.
We are really thankful to you for coming all the way here.
These are the things you asked for.
Now then, everyone!
Our Heroes and rulers are about to return!
They're going to love this surprise Hero farewell party that we organised!
Let's make it really flashy and grand!
It's really become quite a large party.
After all, his Highness Gaul is the one managing everything.
The heroes and princesses are arriving!
They shall be here soon!
Everyone get ready!
Are you surprised, rulers and heroes?!
You were probably thinking of having a light meal,
but tonight, that shall not be allowed!
A surprise party arranged by us young knights,
in order to thank our rulers and heroes for their hard work.
I bet you didn't suspect that we planned this all along!
We didn't notice at all!
You totally got us!
Now then, rulers and heroes, please...
...take each other's hands and get on the stage!
Oh Hina, I'm back.
Welcome back.
I got these from the rulers.
Shall we have some?
That sounds nice...
Let's have some.
So how was the farewell party?
All the young ones seemed to have great fun.
They liked the swords I made as well.
What did you make for them?
Small blades for use at home.
Great for cutting fruit and for camping.
Since Rebecca loves cooking, I made her a cooking knife.
You made household knives, eh?
That somehow brings back memories.
Sure does.
But I got to make some nice blades and see some grateful smiles.
Just that alone made it worth coming back.
I see.
Welcome back, everyone.
Captain Riselle!
We have returned.
Princess, sorry to have kept you waiting.
Not at all.
Oh, where is Cou-sama?
We both left the room after getting ready for the bath,
but she said she remembered some urgent matter.
Oh my.
You're late, Cinque!
Wha- Cou-sama?!
I wanted to leave those two "girls' talk" fans alone for a moment
So, how about the two heirs of the Hero King take a bath together?
By the way, Rebecca-san, did you manage to get anywhere regarding that issue?
Ah, you mean where Cinque calls me nothing but Becky?
Yes.
Not at all.
I think I'll probably always be Becky to him.
It looks like I'll always be his little childhood friend.
I don't think that's necessarily true.
Well, it's fine.
It's the same as always.
Anyway, Princess, I think you'll need to work even harder from now on,
so if anything happens, give me a call.
I am Pastillage's hero, but I'm also your best friend.
Yes, thank you very much.
The same goes for you, Rebecca, if anything happens.
Yeah, thank you, Princess.
Cinque, you are so skilled.
Really?
Thanks.
I'm going to rinse now.
OK.
Actually, there's something I wanted to ask you, Cinque.
Hmm, what is it?
Do you have plans to settle down with Rebecca or Millhi-nee, or maybe even the both of them?
What?!
You know, if a ruler and a hero get married, it has some influence on the way the country is ruled, so...
Um...
For the now let's wash your tail first!
Please do.
Well, I'm just a fledgling hero that has yet to reach his goal.
Goal?
Winning against Nanami.
We had quite a few battles,
but I've never managed to beat her in a serious match or public event.
Victory!
Yeah, you did lose to her in the One-on-One battle during the Festa.
Yes...
It's my goal to win against Nanami during a public event on Earth.
Until that time I'll always be half a man.
That's why I think it's too early for those kinds of things.
I see.
But don't forget, when you are aiming for that goal, take care of those who watch over you.
You're right.
Thank you, Cou-sama.
I shall engrave it into my heart.
Ok.
Rebecca!
Cou-sama!
Was the bath ok?
Cinque washed me, so I'm all good.
Ah, a freshly-cleaned Cou-sama.
You smell wonderful.
Indeed.
The two of you feel free to get on the bed.
Okay!
You too, Cinque.
Oka-
Wait, I don't think that's...
Let's sleep together.
Come on, Cinque.
All right, I'm coming over.
Yay~ Cinque, come over here, over here!
The two of them are already asleep.
They got up really early today.
I'll turn off the lights.
Hey Cinque...
Yes?
Do you remember how I said "I love you" the last time we parted?
Of course I do, I said the same thing.
It kind of feels like a dream that I'm holding the hand I let go of back then.
Though we will have to part again soon.
The next time I'll be able to come will be after my autumn exams.
It will be really soon.
Yes, I will be waiting.
Tonight, I want to hug you tightly so I won't forget your smell and warmth, Cinque.
Is that all right?
Yes, as much as you want.
Then ~hug!
It's so warm, I'm in paradise.
Okay, Leo-sama, Nanami-san, it's time to get up!
Gaul-sama and Génoise, get up, get up, get up!
Come on now, please get up.
Violet-san, you're sticking too rigidly to the routine.
Couldn't you think of a gentler way to wake us up on our last day together?
This has nothing to do with that.
After completing their mission bestowed upon them when summoned, the heroes will return to their home for the time being.
Biscotti's hero, Cinque,
and Pastillage's hero, Rebecca,
shall be given this time to recover.
Now, please return the divine swords to your summoners.
The return ritual is now over!
Thank you!
Finally, Rebecca, I would like for you to have this.
It's a treasure my mother gave to me before she left.
Is this what you went to get the other day?
That's right.
I want you to have this.
If you can, wear it often.
But something like this is too precious.
The summoner and the hero.
An important memento to connect them between worlds.
For that, an item that they both have deep bonds to is best.
It's one of the requirements for Rico's summoning technique.
I'm sure that this will create a path for us.
Then I'll keep it safe for you.
I'll make sure to return it any time you want to wear it.
Thank you.
Cou-sama, I love you.
I love you too, Rebecca.
Cinque, this is for you.
It's a Biscotti-made clock for Earth.
Rico designed it, while Éclair, Yukikaze and I helped with the assembly.
Thank you very much.
I will treasure this.
All right.
This is from me.
The Galette army's MVP prize from the Union Festa.
I'm so happy!
Thank you very much.
I'll be back before you know it.
So please wait for me, Leo-sama.
Yes, I'm counting on you, Hero Nanami.
Bye, Princess, Cou-sama.
The same to you two.
I'm sure we'll meet again soon!
Yes!
Earth: Great Britain - City of London
Oh?
Nanami, welcome back.
Mum...
When did you get back?
I would have picked you up, had you called.
Oh, I'm back home!
What, do you have jet lag?
Make sure to put out your laundry and rubbish.
Okay!
Same Day - Earth: Japan - Kinokawa City, Tokino
Is this Cinque's room?
Yes?!
Hey, Cinque?
Nanami?
You got home safely?
I certainly did, how about you?
We're fine as well.
Want to talk to Becky?
Yeah!
Yes, I'm fine too.
Where did you return to?
So, our summer of adventures came to an end.
Our memories stayed with us, and we got to keep our mementos, too.
It's nice to be home, but since I slept with Cou-sama every night, I can't seem to settle down.
That's something every hero has to deal with.
Hang in there!
Now I really understand how you felt back in spring.
See?
Oh, did you write your letter?
Yes, I wrote it.
My dear
Princess Couvert:
I returned safely.
Cinque and Nanami also
returned safely.
It is sad that we cannot
see you.
However, that is how things are.
Can surely
meet immediately.
Hold fortunate
...ations
We're doing our homework at the library tomorrow, right?
Will you look over my Flonyard letters to make sure I didn't misspell anything?
Roger that.
Cinque, it's time to eat.
Okay!
Well, see you tomorrow.
This way, Mummy!
Okay, okay.
Cinque, sorry for the wait!
O-
Is something wrong?
No, it's just... I don't get to see you with your hair down often.
I let it down so it match with Cou-sama's pendant.
It makes me look older, doesn't it?
That's why I was surprised.
Becky, you're really pretty!
Thanks.
That reminds me, you saved me in the maze where Cou got that pendant , too.
We both did it, as two heroes.
Since you're a hero now and look more grown up...
...I think calling you by your nickname might be a bit rude.
I guess I'll start calling you "Rebecca".
Well, I have thought that I would like it if you called me that...
Rebecca.
This is actually way more embarrassing than I imagined!
Why does it feel so weird?!
No, Rebecca, it's just because you're not used to it.
Rebecca?
Stop it, stop it! I really can't!
Really?
Sorry, I'll be fine with "Becky" for the time being.
I'll change my hair back, too.
Well, if you say so, Becky.
You're so nice to me, even though I'm like this, Cinque.
Not at all.
Thank you, Cinque. I love you.
Yes, and I love you too Becky.
Shall we go?
Yeah!
The second summer of middle school.
Cinque, Nanami and I got to experience the life of a hero together.
The place of fun and hot days, and where people we love are waiting for us.
We will definitely go back there one day.
