That's the Waterwheel of Heavens?
Yeah, the space in front seems to be towards the other world.
Alright, let's go.
Aber-nii...
You guys go first.
Yes, understood.
Both of you better catch up with us!
Even if you don't remind us, we'll still do it.
Leave this place to us.
Okay. Be careful, you two.
I'll leave the Maitresse to you, Agnes.
Aberdeen-sama, they're coming.
Avril, I'll ask you this now while I still have time.
Yes?
When everything is settled, can we both apologize to our sister?
No. I have always been on Miriam-sama's side.
So we'll probably be blaming you together.
I see.
Yes. Once the blaming is done, we'll hold a fish party.
Got it. I'll prepare some fresh Pacific Saury.
Blessing of the Campanella
The peak of this tower is the centre of the Waterwheel of Heavens.
Urgent warning: a large Crystal monster reaction is detected.
Tsk, even here?
They're not going to let us get to the top easily.
Be careful, this is the aggregation spot of Ale from all over the world.
Crystal monsters will be stronger than anywhere else.
Understood! Everyone, let's hurry.
The numbers aren't decreasing.
Which means that as long as the Ale remains erratic, Crystal monsters will keep appearing.
Yeah. Before Leicester and everyone are done, we've to protect the city.
You've really given it serious thought. Good girl, good girl.
Nee-san, the next wave is approaching.
Ritos, do you have some strategy?
Let's keep going
Let's all work hard
Our lives take priority
Do whatever
Let's ignore them

My pocket money?!
No!
Looks like your skills haven't regressed.
Are you two alright?
Uncle! Archduke!
Why are you both here?
It's nothing. Staying at the office at a critical time like this isn't my style.
The youthful fervor has been ignited.
Everyone, let's attack together.
The monsters seem to have reduced a lot.
It'd be great if we can continue ascending towards the peak like this.
Everyone, look behind you!
They are still coming.
Can't be helped then.
Nick.
You should let me look cool sometimes.
If so, let me stay as well.
I can't be at ease if it's just the muscle man like you.
I'm counting on you two, Nick, Garnet.
Sure!
Okay.
Everyone, let's go.
I understand.
I'm counting on you guys.
Be careful, okay.
It's finally time I reveal my true abilities.
Don't make me cover for you.
You too, eh...
Nick! Nick Lu'juck!
You still can't remember it?
All the city folks are taking shelter at the Sacred Temple.
Is it okay for you not to go, Nina?
Yes. Staying here and waiting for Leicester-san and the rest to return is my duty.
You're right.
But it seems like the whole thing will only end after midnight.
Really?
Can't he helped, that tower is too big.
Tower?
It's nothing.
Can you refill my cup of coffee?
Sure.
We're almost there.
Please wait, Miriam.
I see it!
This place is the peak.
Altowirz-sama...
Mom!
You've grown so big, Agnes.
Yes, Mom.
Altowirz-sama is Annie-chan's mother?
I am going to speak via telepathy directly to everyone's mind.
You're Nagan and Shelley's son.
Beside you is Fabious' daughter, right?
And this is Minette.
That's great.
You managed to activate successfully.
That's right.
Long time no see, Mize.
So you came along as well, Chelsea.
I'm really happy.
I didn't think I'd be able to meet my past adventure comrades and their children.
What's wrong with you, Mom?
Even though I really want to say "welcome to this place."
There is really nothing you can do.
Leave immediately.
No way!
We want to repair the Waterwheel of Heavens!
Repair?
That's indeed one method, but the risk is too high.
Risk?
Yes.
If the repair fails, can you imagine what will happen?
That's right.
The Waterwheel of Heavens is a very ancient Artifact.
It's constructed using technology that has already been long lost.
That's precisely the case.
If the repair fails, it'll never return to its original state.
At that point in time, Ale will forever be vanished from this world.
But if we allow it to carry on being erratic,
There will come a day when it withers.
So I chose something other than repairing it.
Just like this, I use my own body to circulate the Ale flow.
Thus creating large number of Crystal monsters to preserve the Ale.
Are you really using your own body as a vessel, Mize?
Why would you do that, Mom?
The destruction of Ale is something that has to be prevented.
If it occurs, everything that requires Ale will stop functioning.
Of course that includes you, Minette.
Leicester, is it really impossible to repair the Waterwheel of Heavens?
The probability isn't zero.
But it's not even 1%, such a probability...
Once you start repairing, there's no turning back.
To many people, the energy supply of Ale is a must.
If it fails, many important things will be lost.
Do you guys have the courage to bet in such an unfair gamble?
Looks like all of you understand.
The current situation is what I feel is the best solution.
That's wrong.
This isn't the best solution.
Because Altowirz-sama seems to be very sad.
Sad? Me?
Being together with Papa and everyone at Oasis,
I learned many important things.
The desire to be connected by the heart to your important people.
The desire to dedicate yourself to important people.
The desire to share the joy and laughter with everyone.
The desire to see someone important always smiling.
As well as the warm hearts with everyone's combined feelings.
That's why, this method which needs someone as a sacrifice isn't the best.
Miriam wouldn't want the use of this method.
No matter how low the probability, we won't give up, Mom.
Yeah, I feel the same.
This is the style of the Oasis Clan.
We'll definitely repair the Waterwheel of Heavens. Altowirz-san.
That's the outcome that you've all decided on?
Yes.
Very well then.
I shall now cut the interference to the Waterwheel of Heavens.
In that way, the mass production of monsters should stop.
But the erratic Ale will attack you all instead.
You have to repair the Waterwheel of Heavens under such circumstances.
Plus I'm incapable of lending a hand to help.
I understand.
I see. Now let me witness it.
Will your resolve save this world, or will it destroy it?
Leicester-san, please get started!
OK, I shall.
Monte, here we go.
Roger!
Tango.
Tango, thunder bolt!
Monte, activate high speed expansion.
Now!
We did it!
No, not yet.
This seems like a puzzle, probably related to the flow of Ale.
I can feel the Ale flow.
If I rearrange this puzzle correctly...
Papa!
Please, I beg you. Calm down. Please calm down.
What are you doing?
What's wrong? Can't you hold it any longer?
No kidding, they're still working hard.
How can I fall at a place like this?!
Papa!
It's alright, Minette.
But...
I'm fine. Just keep doing your part.
Okay!
Residual magic is low.
I'm sorry, Monte.
Please hang in there for a bit longer.
Tango and everyone. I'll treat you guys to delicious desserts when we return.
I'll be looking forward to it.
Chel-san!
I'm fine.
Minette...
I can't just fall like this...
Not yet... I can't give up yet.
I don't want to give up!
That's right.
Giving up now is way too early.
You guys are really useless.
Avril-san, I'm speechless.
Agnes!
Aber-nii!
I'm still here.
Sorry for the wait, the main character arrives.
What's wrong, Leicester?!
Is your persistence worth so little?!
Minette, we have so many good friends.
Yes. I can feel everyone's feelings.
We can't lose, we got to wait for Leicester and the rest to return...
Yeah, we've got to protect the place where they can laugh at ease.
Tea, tea, tea, Oolong Tea!
Miriam-san, you can't get up just yet.
I heard Minette-san's voice just now.
Everyone's feelings, they are so warm.
Everyone is cheering for us, how can we lose?
Yes, Ale is the power of the heart.
The power of the bonds connecting our hearts together.
We're betting it all on this power.
We won't allow this dazzling light... Ale's radiance from vanishing!
The eternal radiance of Ale!
Papa also feels everyone's feelings, right?
This is...
The sacred blade, Celestine.
Aberdeen-san.
Leicester!
Minette...
I'm really happy now.
I was able to meet everyone at Oasis, and Miriam.
Everyone gave me many happy moments.
That's why I want to give everyone happiness.
I hope everyone will be happy forever and ever.
For my favorite person, for everyone in this world.
Of course, for you too, Mom.
Minette, you...
Thank you very much.
Thank you for creating me.
You'll bring happiness to many people.
That's the reason why you were born.
I see... that's right.
Mom!
Mom! Mom!
Agnes...
Everyone!
It's finally over.
You're still as slack as always, Nee-san.
That's so mean, Ritos.
It's supposed to be an emotional scene.
Nina-chan, I'll leave the party preparations to you.
Sure, I'll prepare for it thoroughly.
What a surprise...
I didn't think it'd be repaired.
The persistence of these fellows are above average, Maitresse.
Honestly, the stubbornness is just like that of Nagan in the past.
I only believed in everyone.
In addition...
In addition?
My Mom said before: "a man must be responsible for the words he said."
Your Papa is an amazing guy, Minette.
Yeah, he's the world's number one.
Well then, it's about time we return to Ert'Aria.
Yeah, I'm worried about the city folks.
Oh, but I really wanted you guys to witness it.
The flock of Crystal monsters... I threw one and tossed another.
Yeah, yeah, I got it.
Thank you.
THE END
