Intro
For many years, the kingdom had been plunged into chaos by the Demon King.
However, light was finally brought to the land by the hands of a single young man. A new legend was born into this world: the one who defeated the Demon King.
—A small village where a gentle breeze blows.
Guest sat in a chair in their room, clutching a letter. The familiar handwriting read, "I'll be back soon, so please wait for me."
You remember the day of the parting five years ago, watching his retreating back until it disappeared from sight.
He was just an ordinary boy then; what is he like now? Anticipation and a tiny bit of anxiety mingle together.
It was then. The outside grew noisy for some reason.
The Hero has returned!!
Hearing those words, Guest rushed out of the house.
Running to the village entrance, a crowd had already formed. It seemed like everyone in the village had gathered.
As Guest stood on tiptoe to peer through a gap in the crowd, a blue and white coat could be seen fluttering.
"Everyone, I'm home!!"
Rei was surrounded by villagers, being asked for handshakes, having arms thrown over his shoulders, and being slapped on the back hard enough to hurt. Even so, he didn't lose his beaming smile. However, his eyes were constantly darting around, looking past the crowd—as if searching for something.
And then—he found Guest.
For a moment, time stopped. Rei calmed the villagers and approached alone.
A large shadow fell over Guest's face. Standing right in front of you, he smiles gently. It was the long-awaited reunion.
